Magic Knight Rayearth Fan Fiction ❯ Cross ❯ Chapter XII The Colonelization Project ( Chapter 14 )

In the world in which the deity of water currently resided, approximately two years had passed since she'd received the order to assist the military.

It had been two years of war and constant attacks on this realm. They'd attacked Cephiro first, then they'd split their forces to also invade Chizeta, Fahren and Autozam. Chizeta had fallen under their control first. Cephiro and Fahren fell around the same time shortly after. Surprisingly enough, it was the polluted and already, naturally, decaying world of Autozam that had held them at bay, and for the longest of time.

Autozam had had the advantage of technology over the faction of the Organization. That had been expected though. They'd only been able to transfer so many weapons at the time... When they'd finally been able to gain victory over the Autozams, their first objective had been achieved: the realms capture. Then came the second part of their mission.

Simultaneously, violent and most merciless attacks were launched against the already conquered countries and as anticipated, when all four planets had been pushed to the brink of destruction, desperate measures on the people's behalf had taken place. Resulting in what had been their true objective in the beginning of this war: the birth of a new merged world.

Night had fallen about an hour ago over the towering, building that was now neither Cephiro's crystal palace, nor the famous Tokyo tower. It was both and it was where the remaining Organization's soldiers had set up base. She was now headed to the closest thing that could be called a bedroom room: her temporary sleeping quarters. Most soldiers all slept in the one main and most stable area which once was the observation deck, and what their sources had told, the main chamber of the Palace. For one reason or another, she didn't like that area and thus crept off and found herself a secret room in which she'd been considering her room as of late.

Her room was very poorly lit. And if one really focused one's eyes, one would see that the Cephirian architecture was overlain with the old cement and steel used to build Tokyo Tower.

She walked over to her bed and reached inside her pillow case where she kept a small diary and retrieved it. She flipped through the pages until she'd come to a blank page and began, logging in everything that had happened since the last time she'd done so. For the past two years, she'd been writing in the small book and before that, there had been another diary she'd written in. Umi smirked; she was beginning to build up a collection of herself. She'd already transferred five years of her life into two other diaries. Soon to be three and within another year, most likely four. When she'd finished, she'd set her pen down and reread what she'd written, and she wondered for not the first time, why she bothered. It wasn't like anything overly interesting ever happened to her. And most of what she'd witnessed or taken part in were not what those in their right frame of mind would care to remember.

Umi slid her diary back into her pillow case. Then she rooted through her belongings for her night apparel. She set the clothing down then stood to undress.

Once her clothing was off; she folded the uniform and placed it where she always placed dirty clothing of hers. When she turned back around, she discovered her clothing to be gone. She blinked a moment. I could have sworn I just set out a nightgown. She shrugged and went to get another.

"Don't bother. You won't be in need of them for a while."

Umi paused in mid movement. She knew that voice anywhere and she was glad to finally hear it after so long… "Eagle."

"Hello my dear." He said gently as he walked up behind her. He wasn't wearing his complex layers of clothing, but merely the white shirt and pants that were worn underneath. He walked over to her. "It's been a while and I'm afraid I've become impatient from waiting."

"How long has it been?" She asked as he moved her shimmering azure hair to the side and began kissing along the side of her neck and shoulder.

"Around a week or so, where your boy lives and a fair bit longer where I reside."

"It's been two years for me."

His hands ran over her hips, "two years? Has it really been that long? Your body would have the audacity to say not even a day."

She smirked. "What are you doing here?"

"Always so serious and to the point," he commented as he continued to reacquaint himself with her. "Is that what makes me desire you so?"

Umi quietly moaned under Eagle as she was guided by him to the bed.

"What are you doing here?" She asked again.

He grinned down at her. She ran her fingers through his silvery bangs. They paused temporarily over his lips, parting them slightly. He kissed them. "Just passing through, I suppose you could say. I've been checking up on all my pawns and I thought I'd visit with you as well my dear."

"What of Sakuya?" Her fingers began to work on his clothing, removing his jacket-like shirt as best she could in her current position. She then gazed over his chest and marveled at its perfection, as she almost always did. Her lord had an over all faultless physique. Not surprising, when one took into account that he was the equivalent to that of a-dare she be so clichéd as to say Greek God.

He removed the rest of his clothing.

"Must we speak now of such things? I'd much prefer all of your attention elsewhere." He whispered into her ear as he began his renewed onslaught of caresses.

Her legs came to wrap around him as did her arms. Her chin rested against his shoulder, "As you wish my Lord."

<Authors notes: It's been a while since I updated. I had to keep rewriting this chapter `cause I didn't like how it was originally. Plus this wasn't supposed to be chapter XII, but do to someone insisting that I pull my focus onto these two characters, I did. Thank you all, who have reviewed this fic. It's much appreciated and I hope that my future chapters will be better than my previous ones.>
