Chapter 3

"Hey Umi!" Hikaru called to the girl following her. Hikaru turned to look over her shoulder at Umi feet behind her. "Let's hurry 'kay?"

Umi groaned, they had almost missed the bus, and now they where gonna be late to meet Fuu. This definitely wasn't going well... "Okay! Hikaru!" she answered back, slightly annoyed. Hikaru had way too much energy. They neared a corner and turned again, running towards the hospital on the other side of the street.

"Oh, hey Umi!" Hikaru called turning to look over her shoulder; no answer. Umi was lost in her own thoughts. "Umi!" she called again; no answer. Hikaru sighed, she was deep in thought... she decided not to bother her.

Mean while, Umi's mind was drifting... 'Cephiro... Princess Emeraude... What is happening now? What's going on in Cephiro right now? Why can't we go there again?' Umi didn't feel herself clench her fists in frustration. 'Why? I... I want to go back to Cephiro! I want to see everybody again! I want to help the friends we made there!...' She paused, '...Clef... you sounded so sad, and defeated in the vision we saw...' Umi sighed, why was she thinking of him in a time like this!

... Because for some reason she couldn't forget about him...

'Oh... Clef I-'

"H-hey Umi!" Hikaru waved her hand in front of Umi's face trying to get her out of her trance. "U-Umi, hey! Don't leave me!" she said stopping her feet, and turning completely to face her friend.

Umi's mind focused, "O-oh... sorry Hikaru..." she said scratching the back of her head apologetically. "I g-guess..." Umi averted her eyes to elsewhere, breaking the eye contact. "...Nevermind..." she sighed, she had to focus on more important things...

Hikaru stared at her blankly, "Oh... okay..."

Umi smiled at Hikaru, she's so innocent... "Let's go Hikaru." she giggled grabbing the ruby eyed girl.

'Oh Clef... I miss you...'

"...Alright," Fuu whispered softly, feeling the hesitant's in her voice. "I wont tell..." she hated the idea, of not telling Hikaru or Umi... but it was a nessesary...

The woman felt the discomfort and disappointment in her voice. She patted Fuu lightly on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's gonna be alright, they'll get to know soon..." she said with reassuringblue eyes, a strand of pink hair caressing her cheek. She smiled gently at Fuu, trying her best to understand.

"...Okay..." Fuu said taking her hand gently showing she was going to be okay. Though ... she really wasn't. She quickly took her mind off the particular subject. "B-but..." her eyes darkened slightly and she looked at the hospital sheets. "How did this happen? How could Cephiro...?"

The pink haired woman pulled back her hand slowly, looking out the window to the sunset. "I..." she lowered her gaze, her voice was slightly shaky. "It was... Princess Emeraude..."

Fuu's eyes widened, "Huh?" her voice was trembling, after we did all that? It was all for naught! H-how!

"Princess Emeraude... she made--"

Fuu cut her off, "Ms. Hikaru and Ms. Umi are comming!" she said calmly after scaring the other woman so much. "You have to get out of here."

"Alright." she said turning her back to the hospital bed, but turned to wink at Fuu. "I'll talk to you later little missey." she said with a grin, Fuu giggled; she hadn't changed. Even while Cephiro had been anniha-

"Fuu."

Fuu looked up at her, she had been out of it again. "Y-yes?"

Her eyes narrowed, and she put on her hooded sweat-shirt. "You absolutely can not tell them... until it's time."

Fuu nodded, "Yes, I promise." she promised.

Her perky mood returned, "Good." she turned to leave, waving behind. "I'll see ya later Fuu, I'll come to visit ya soon now."

And she left.

Fuu sighed; she had missed that southern accent. But... Cephiro... Her eyes began to glisten; had it really been annih-

"Fuu!" Fuu's head jerked up; Hikaru had run into the room with Umi behind her... but... in Umi's hands...?

"Hello Ms. Hikaru," she smiled trying to hide the difference in her mood. "And also hello to you Ms. Umi." she said as Hikaru hugged her lightly, Umi walked over to the bed hands behind her back. "Hiya Fuu!" she said with a giggle. Fuu cocked an eyebrow at her unusual perkiness, Hikaru lat go of Fuu and backed away from the bed beaming, and she stood next to Umi.

'Strange people...' Fuu thought briefly, question in her eyes. But smiling all the while. "Alright what are you hidding?" she said not able to hold in the question.

Hikaru smiled cheerily, but her smile had faded slightly. "Well, we know that you must be lonely right now..." Umi nodded her head slowly, frowning, but reasuring and understanding all the same. "And we don't want you to be afraid... of t-telling someone your feelings..." Fuu's insides churned; she didn't want to worry Hikaru or Umi. "So... we went and got you something!" Hikaru's smile returned; as did Umi's. Umi brought her hands out from behind her back. A animal carrying box in her hands, and a huge smile planted on Umi's face.

Fuu just stared; 'they wouldn't would they...?' The question realed in her mind.

"To cheer you up!" Umi said gently setting the carrying case on Fuu's bed sheets. She signaled to Fuu to open the case.

'I believe... it's possible that they would...' Fuu thought vaguely, hands slowly reaching out to the plastic case. Her fingers touched the cold metal lightly, her mind with more, and more questions, that would be answered in the next few moments. She gently unlatched the lock on the opening, Umi and Hikaru held back giggles st her caution.

"Click."

The soft sound was enough to make Fuu jump slightly, in the quiet room a pencil dropping would make you jump a mile high. Fuu gasped softly as she reached into the cage, pulling out a white kitten. It's golden eyes watched the actions of the three magic knights. Fuu cradled it in her arms as it purred softly. She looked to Hikaru and Umi; eyes glistening. "Thank you..." she whispered softly, a smile on her face.

Umi and Hikaru both smiled back. "No proplem," Umi winked giving off a grin. Hikaru giggled, she felt good that she could always make Fuu smile- Even in times of disaster.

Umi sighed, "Well, it's not like I had a choice..."

Hikaru looked at her confused, "Huh?"

"Hikaru had those kitten eyes, and she got all poutie!" Umi complained, though she was still smiling.

Hikaru defended herself, but was still having fun with the teasing Umi. "I was not! I figured that we could get something for Fuu, and she's enjoying it!" she said putting her hands on her hips.

Fuu watched the two of them; they where so good to her... and she...

She kept things from them... she was horrible... she couldn't even tell them that which they had been dying to know! And now... she knew... and she couldn't tell...

Fuu looked at the kitten, for some reason it reminded her of a certain ball fluff. With it's eyes closed, it looked unmistakably like Mokona. The kitten had longer ears that was at least two and a half, to three inches long, and hung out to the side, like Mokona. And it's fur was puffy, but soft, so it seemed to expanded it's size, so looked a little bigger.

"So Fuu what are you going to call him?"

Fuu looked away from the small kitten; she hadn't thought of that. "I'm not sure... what do you think Ms. Umi?" She asked returning the smile she had recived from Hikaru, "Do you have any ideas?"

Umi thought for a moment; looking up at the ceiling. "... hmm..." she looked down at the sleeping kitten with out a name. Her eyes widened as a thought struck her. "Hey... he looks just like Mokona..." she said pointing to the sleeping kitten on Fuu's lap. Hikaru quickly looked at him as well, her mouth dropped slightly.

"Omigosh! He does!" she said immediately going to the side of the bed, taking a closer look. "Wow... I didn't notice before." she exclaimed, Umi going to the end of the bed and sitting down on the edge. Fuu lifted the sleeping kitten to the middle of the bed so he was in the middle of the three of them. He awoke but only to curl up into a tight ball closer to Hikaru.

Fuu nodded silently; eyes fixed to the strange kitten which was now hers. "Hmm..." she returned her gaze to Umi then Hikaru smiling, "what if... we where to name this kitten, Mokona?"

Hikaru and Umi looked at each other, thinking over the idea, then turning back to Fuu. "Sure, that's good for me." Umi said grinning.

"Yeah!" Hikaru pipped up, a huge smile plastered to her face. "That's perfect!"

Fuu nodded in satisfaction. "Yes... it would always remind us of Cephiro..."

The two other magic knights both nodded in agreement, not able to stop the mood from darkening. After a few minutes of silents, Umi sat up. "Oh, Fuu by the way, we have your homework for you." she walked over to the door, after Fuu bowed slightly in appreciation. She leaned down to pick up the paper bag on the floor, her blue hair flowing around her body softly adjusting to her motions. She picked up the bag and turned around. "Is it okay if I put it on your chair?" she asked motioning to the chair by the window.

"Yes Ms. Umi... that's be wonderful." Fuu said, trying to find the strength to smile. She knew that Umi was trying to lighten the mood. She like Ms. Umi for her natural... 'spunk', she was a naturally happy person, though not in the same way as Ms. Hikaru, but in her own way. Fuu admired her for this trait.

"Thank you Ms. Umi." she said bowing again, though this time cringing slightly. "Ouch!" she put her trembling hand to her stomach, she was now hunched over. She bit her lip harshly, she shut her eyes tightly; 'No! Not right now!... Not in front of them!'

"F-Fuu!" Umi and Hikaru asked in unison. "What is it?" Hikaru questioned, trying not to panic.

Fuu coughed harshly, her body shaking violently.

Hikaru, no longer able to sustain her worry and panic. "Fuu? Fuu? Fuu!" she was now by her side with Umi. Hikaru's eyebrows furrowed, and she stood up and ran to the door. "Umi watch over her! I'm gonna get a docter!"

Umi nodded, keeping her hand's on Fuu's shoulders. "Okay." she looked back to Fuu, "And hurry."

"Alright!" she said opening up the door to leave, but as she stepped out to leave a scratchy voice stopped her.

"NO!" Hikaru immediately froze, she turned to face the hospital bed, she gasped; Fuu was standing, her trembling hand on the bare wall for support. She coughed again, then hunched over her shaking legs, she put her free hand on her knee. "D... don't g-g-get anyone." she said with a shaky face, her face was really pale.

"B-but Fuu..." Umi's voice was comforting, though frightened at the same time.

Fuu's eyes where covered by her golden locks. She kept her eyes glued to the floor. "P-please... I'm begging you... Ms. Hikaru... M-Ms... Um...i..." she didn't have time to finish her sentence, her body collapsed, as she hit the floor hard.

"F-Fuu!" Hikaru screeched, terror in her voice- ans it showed on her body as well. Umi's hands covered her mouth, her eyes wide. Both of them rushed over to her side. She was coughing again, this time both hands covering her mouth, and it was more violent.

"Oh... god Fuu." Hikaru cried in horor, what the heck was going on! "Fuu... I've gotta tell someone!" she said rising to her feet and turned to walk out, this time it was Umi that stopped her.

"Hikaru..." she said keeping her eyes on Fuu, who's coughing fit had slowed. Hikaru turned to face Umi determined not to change her mind about telling someone. "Fuu... she didn't want you to tell anyone..."

Hikaru saw this coming; "N-n... but..." she was struggling with her words, choosing them carefully, as to not upset Umi with her harsh words to which her mind was screaming at her. "Fuu needs help...!"

Umi was trying to stop her from telling someone that they're friend was having a coughing fit, that probably was a side-affect of the drugs the docters where giving her! And if something happened...

"Hikaru..." Umi was helping Fuu to her knees slowly. Fuu had stopped coughing, but was still dazed. She slowly raised a shaky hand to her mouth, she whipped off some blood from her mouth that had been caused by her bitting at her bottom lip; or so Hikaru had wanted to believe.

Umi cradled Fuu in her arms, in a protecting type way. "Fuu... she must have a good reason to not want you to tell..." Umi closed her eyes as Hikarubegain to protest. Umi cut her off harshly; "Hikaru! Listen to me!" Hikaru gasped, she wasn't used to Umi snapping at her like that. Umi was clearly upset, she now had tears in her eyes. "I'm just as worried as you are! But this is no time to go jumping to conclusions!" she yelled, unable to stop herself from falling into her emotions. "We don't know why she's had this! We don't know why she's having this! We don't even know how long she's had this!" she screamed, she couldn't help it; 'why was this happening! Here I am screaming and yelling at Hikaru, in a horrible way! I shouldn't even be like this so why-!'

It's just bad luck.

'Yeah, fat chance. That's what I want to believe...' Umi's mind stated the logic, but in her heart; she knew there was more as to why everything was happening like this.

Umi rested her head on the wind knight's head, Umi cried, she cried out all the emotions that she had inside her. She... Umi Ryuuzaki... a fifteen year old girl, grown and mature, well body anyways, but she was getting there mentally. She was supposed to be the oldest of the group, the reassuring one who could keep the two others straight and full of courage... And here she was; alone, defenseless, scared and crying her heart out... This wasn't how it was suppose to be...

Hikaru felt her heart break the moment Umi yelled at her, she didn't ever believe that one of her dearest friends would do that to her. Why? But inside... she knew that it was her fault. For not considering why Fuu wouldn't want to be told on, or to have anything reported. She was the selfish one, the one that was just listening to her own heart and logic, and jumping to conclusion... but now...

Hikaru walked carefully to Umi and kneeled down on the other side of Fuu. "U... Umi... I'm sorry..." she whispered tears filling her eyes. "I'm so sorry that I made you yell at me like that..." Tears slid down from her face as she took Fuu's hand and held it close to her cheek.

Umi nodded, blinking caused more tears to fall from her eyes. "I'm sorry too Hikaru..." she whispered, "It doesn't matter if I was mad or not; I shouldn't have ever yelled at you like that. No matter what the circumstances."

Hikaru let a small smile of appreciation cross her lips. Then she turned her attention back to Fuu, now asleep in Umi's arms. "You've got to get better..." she whispered stroking Fuu's hand.

"Yeah..." Umi said sadly.

Outside it was now almost completely night, as a woman sat in one of the trees right outside the hospital parking lot.

"So those are the three Magic Knights..." she whispered with a small smile on her face. Her long white hair brushed the side of her face as it blew loosely in the night. "Hmm... I wonder..." she said to no one in particular. "They where sent do destroy the princess... so I wonder if they know about..." her voice trailed off as a thought struck her. If she already met up with... her... than that means... they're paths would cross shortly. She giggled, she would enjoy meeting Hikaru-chan and the others. But she had to be patient, as Clef had instructed. Even if Kaiju hadn't cared what-so-ever. She would! And maybe the Magic Knights could even help her!

She sighed, 'yeah right...' Kaiju wouldn't even think twice about tearing off they're heads... she laughed out loud; Kaiju would have fun with Umi... They'd definitely argue constantly.

"Ohhhh! This is gonna be fun!" she laughed excitedly. She jumped down from the tree still laughing. She looked once more to the hospital window where the three Magic Knights where in. "Hope ya get better Fuu-chan!" she whispered she turned her heel and skipped off cheerily. "...So you can be really happy when he comes back to you!" She then disappeared into the darkness o the night.
