Feel The Wind

This update was really fast! Well, compared to last time anyway. I only got a couple of reviews. I'm starting to think that you guys don't care about me! (Dead Silence.) Hmmm. I'll put you guys through pain and make Elie and Musica together... that won't seem too right...But I care, so tell me what you guys want through reviews. It helps a lot in the way that the story should go. Okies? Let's Rave on! (huggles)

Disclaimer: Grrr. (Special Seto Kaiba Scowl) I don't own Rave Master. Fine I said it. Can we just move on now?

Elie woke up that morning with a terrible feeling. Her whole mood was uside down. Elie
was always happy and supportive; she always tried her best to be there for her friends. All of her happy attitudes made everyone feel so welcome to her... it bellied the saddness inside, and that lonely feeling of having no past.

She drew back the curtains after a while, she'd taken a cold shower to get rid of her sleepiness. It was raining outside.

Elie met Haru, Musica, and Plue down at breakfast. It was awfully quiet.

"Good Morning, Elie..." Haru didn't look up.

"How'd you sleep, Elie?" Musica seemed... quiet. Not his usual "I'm cool, important and irresistable, deal with it" kind of air.

"Good Morning, guys. It was fine Musica, thank you." Elie replied slowly.

"Puuuuuuuun." Plue had a sucker in his mouth.

"Mornin' Plue!" Elie smiled.

As she sat down, Elie noticed that they were the only ones there. Musica and Haru sat on opposite ends of the table.

She sat exactly at the middle. Right next to Plue. It seemed he didn't want to be a part of the nonsense. He looked at her with worry.

"I know, Plue..." She looked into space.

"Haru, do you anything more about this Rave stone that's supposed to be here?" Elie asked after they checked out ofn the hotel.

"No, I thought we'd ask around today." he replied with a rare smile.

"That's wasting time..." Musica said into the air as they strolled down the avenue.

"Griff's at Bob - Somethng's house?" Elie questioned.

"Guess so." he said blankly. Haru turned the corner, his back to them.

He left Elie open - mouthed. That was rude!

Musica followed the route that Haru took. "C'mon, Elie! If we loose him, I'll get into trouble!"

Elie followed. She also frowned. "How's that?"

"...I'm sure you'll have a use for those Tonfa Blasters..."

Why does he keep pishing me inyo Haru? Is there something I'm not getting? Or is he supposed to be testing me?

Later that day, after talking to countless people, they were led to a path from the back of the longest park in the city. It was supposed to lead to a shrine. It was only legend, urban legend. But they decided to check it out. Musica wasn't happy about "walking through a tiny forest on the outskirts of a park to get to the shrine that never existed."

But that's exactly what they ended up doing.

Musica dragged behind. Haru led. Elie glanced back to MUsica. He gave her a "You know you wanna" look towards Haru. She bit her lip. She still had no clue what he was getting at, but she trudged over to Haru.

"Hey..."

"...Hi, Elie..." he said.

"Want to talk?" She pressed on.

"Whatever you want."

"Sure...ok. Ummm." She searched for the right words. She knew MUsica would hear her.

"Let's stop." She walked off the path a little. They followed close behind. They found a very convienently located clearing.

Elie sat down on a tree stump. She glanced uneasily at Musica.

"Alright...I see...I'll be wayyy over here. I'll meet you where the shrine that doesn't exist is supposed to be. End of the path, right? See ya." He pointed at the road, grabbed his belongings and left. But not without a sigh, and a glance at Haru. Elie couldn't read it.

"So..." Elie looked away. Since when was it so hard between them?

"...You and Musica?" Haru brought up.

Elie looked at him.What's wrong with... It's not what you think, I - "

"Then what is it?" You could hear the uncommon anger rising in his voice.

"I didn't realize how much I was hurting you! I'm sorry, Haru!"

"Well, its not okay, you know." he replied.

"It's been hard on me, too, Haru! It's not easy between you two!"

"Hard on you? It can't be! You know why? Because..." Haru's voice choked.

"Haru, how am I hurting you? What's going on here? I don't understand!"

She felt tears in her eyes. "Some male ego? Honestly tell me!"

There was a long pause as a breeze blew.

"Elie, I don't want to hurt our friendship any more... but... I...I think I love you... Elie!" It wasn't sudden, at least for them. They both knew. It was always like that.

"I know." But she couldn't say that she loved him back. At least, not yet. Not Yet. Because she still didn't understand. What they had said to each other hadn't sunk in as yet.

Elie closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder; she let the tears flow, as she felt him close his arms around her in a warm embrace.

Yay! Did you like it? What is Elie thinking? When will she tell Haru she loves him? Or is Musica holding her back? Review, please! Tell me what you think!
