~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Hikaru~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

 

 

 

I couldn't believe my eyes. It's can't be…It just can't be Rayearth, I thought in disbelief. I stare at the man standing before me and stammer out “R-Rayearth but…but y-your…” I couldn't continue.

 

 

 

Rayearth grins at me his eyes showing his amusement. “Human? Yes, we became human shortly after Creator Mokona took us with him to create a new universe.”

 

 

 

Umi couldn't help but ask, though I was sure she was hesitant of hearing the answer because Umi wouldn't want to be overly hopeful, “We?”

 

 

 

Two other men step forward from the crowd one with green hair and the other with blue. As they step forward I notice that their eyes are the same color as their hair and that they were really tall. Sure Lantis, LaFarga, and Ascot were tall but the three men before me now were much taller. It seemed to me that they towered over everyone but not because of their height. No it was the way they held themselves, Like gods, I realize in amusement. Of course they would hold themselves like that even as humans.

 

 

 

I jump in surprise when she heard Rayearth chuckle in my mind just as he had so many times before as a Mashin. “Of course we would.” He mimicked laughingly. I giggle which earns me a confused look from the others in the room.

 

 

 

I smile at everyone a slight blush coming to me features and everyone returns their attention to the man who was now speaking, “It has been a while Umi.” Celes's voice commented. “I hope we have not upset you too much by our unexpected arrival.”

 

 

Umi shakes her head as for once she is left speechless, but that really doesn't last long as a string of questions come forth. “What are you doing here? How did you get here? When did you become human? Wha-what…” she trailed off her face turning red as if it were about to explode.

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Rayearth~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~

 

 

 

I smile at the little Magic Knight I know so well. Hikaru you really have not changed in the last year. You are still the innocent little girl I knew. I think to myself with great affection as I watch the other Mashin greet their former partners. Switching my attention to them I realize, They haven't changed either.

 

 

 

“Rayearth…” a hesitant voice sounded out. I turn back to look at Hikaru.

 

 

 

“Yes?”

 

 

 

“Why did you come back to Cephirio and who are the people you brought with you?” Hikaru said with a baffled look on her face.

 

 

 

I smile and look back at the four people who had yet to be introduced and had to wince slightly as I see the confusion written on their faces. They do not know anything of Celes's, Windam's, and my past, I mused to myself then quickly gave myself a mental shake to get myself to focus. “They Hikaru are Malikai, Zvonimir, Yendraia, and Hyono.” Each one stepped forward as their names were called and I was about to introduce everyone to them but Fuu took over.

 

 

 

“How very nice to meet you I hope your stay here in Cephirio will be pleasant. My name is Fuu Hououji and this is Miss Umi Ryuuzaki,” she gestured toward Umi “Miss…”

 

 

 

“I'm Hikaru Shidou nice to meet you. It's nice to meet friends of Rayearth. Have you known him for the year he was gone from Cephirio or have you known him longer?” She took in a breath to ask more questions in her excitement but I cut her off gently.

 

 

 

“Young Magic Knight there will be plenty of time to ask them questions later but for now let us introduce them to everyone else”

 

 

 

“Oh yes, sorry! This is Clef, Lantis, Caldina, LaFarga, and Ferio. There are more of us but they aren't in here.” Hikaru hurriedly introduced everyone else to the amusement of all but frowned as she realized something. Hikaru turned to Clef and asked, “Where is Ascot and Presea?” Hikaru gasps before Clef can answer and starts running towards the door. “Oh I promised Eagle I would go see him the moment I got here.”

 

 

 

All of us look after Hikaru as the door closes behind her and the Cephirians, the other two Mashin, the remaining Magic Knights and myself erupt in laughter.

 

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Eagle~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~

 

 

 

I have lain here in this bed for a little over a year. When will I awaken? I sigh and rid myself of such thoughts. I am really bored though and neither Lantis nor Hikaru had come to visit me today yet. They always do, many times together much to my joy. They are both so special to me and it makes me happy to see them together when I know both of them care very deeply for each other. I smile as I sense Hikaru coming to visit me.

 

 

 

The door of my room opens and Hikaru takes a step into the room “Eagle,” she asks hesitantly “are you awake?”

 

 

 

“Yes, Hikaru I am. Come in I would never turn your company away” I feel her smile as she radiate happiness.

 

 

 

 

“Eagle you won't believe this but so much has happened today. Rayearth and the other Mashin are back in Cephirio. Can you believe it? It's just wonderful though I don't know why they are here. Why do you think they are here?” she finally finished with her tirade of questions and comments as she sits down on my bed. I am surprised by what she has told me but even more surprised by all the emotions I feel running through her. The one emotion that surprises me the most is fear.

 

 

 

“Hikaru, what's wrong why are you scared? Don't you want Rayearth and the others here?”

 

 

 

“It's not that I don't want them here. It's just...” she pauses and then admits “It just scares me, that since they are here maybe Cephirio is in trouble or something”

 

 

 

I sigh and wish more than ever that I was awake. “Hikaru don't worry, everything will be fine. You, Umi, and Fuu come here everyday but that doesn't mean Cephirio is in danger.”

 

 

 

“I know but this seems different somehow.”

 

 

 

“Different how?”

 

 

 

 

“I don't...you are probably right Eagle there is nothing to worry about.” I sigh, She is closing up again. Whenever she doesn't want anyone to worry about her she hides her feeling. I was about to tell her that it was alright to tell me her feelings and thoughts when she changed the subject. “How are you doing today Eagle do you feel better today?”

 

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Clef~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~

 

 

 

 

After Hikaru had left I turn back to the newcomers a frown marring my face. “Rayearth why is it that you are here?”

 

 

 

 

Everyone lets their laughter die as they all turn to Rayearth, waiting for his answer. “To tell you the truth Guru Clef I do no know. When Creator Mokona took us to help in the new world HE was creating we went with him expecting to never return.”

 

 

 

 

I soak this information in and turn to the other Mashin. They nod to confirm what Rayearth had just said. “So you do not know why you have come. As much as I would like to see your appearance as a pleasant surprise I am afraid that your coming means something is about to happen here in Cephirio.” I state gravely.

 

 

 

 

The Mashins nod grimly, and Celes says “We are afraid of that too Guru Clef.”

 

 

 

 

“Umm....excuse me but we don't know what you're talking about. Could someone explain to us what is going on and where exactly are we anyway?” came a softly, tentative voice. I look over and see that the person to have spoken was the woman named Yendraia. I blink in confusion, How can she not know what is going on?

 

 

 

 

Windam glances at Yendraia and the others gathered around her. He then says, as if in answer to my question, “Aw, yes we apologize, Yendraia but there are many things of our past that we have not made known to you. We are the Mashin and guardians of Cephirio which is where we are at the moment. For us to be here it means that there is most likely something sinister about to happen here in Cephirio.”

 

 

 

 

I shake my head and look to the Mashin. “Why are people who know nothing of Cephirio here? That sounds too much like how it was when the Magic Knights first arrived here.” I notice out of the side of my eye that as I speak Lantis's cold expression gets colder and darker with each word. “Lantis you are worried as well are you not?” He spares me a glance that is unreadable and does not reply. I sigh and look around the room. “Why don't we leave this discussion for another time. We have no clue what is in store for us so we can not hope to fix it by worrying about it.”

 

 

 

 

Rayearth nods and says “You are right Guru Clef but let us explain to our companions about our past then maybe you could escort us around and tell us how much Cephirio has changed.” I nod in agreement and the Mashin start to explain their past to the other four.

 

 

 

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Umi~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

 

 

 

As the Mashin begin to explain I see Lantis walk out of the room, no doubt to go find Hikaru and Eagle. I walk out after him to search out Ascot confused that he hasn't come to the High Chamber yet. He is usually already there when Hikaru, Fuu, and I arrive. I search through the castle first but to no avail. As I start through the gardens I hear Ascot's voice and head toward it. He is sitting on a boulder looking at a book lying on his lap. I move toward him and ask “What are you reading Ascot?” I laugh as he falls off the boulder onto the ground.

 

 

 

 

Ascot blushes and starts to stammer “U-Umi...you...I...I didn't notice you.”

 

 

 

 

“Well most people don't notice things when they are absorbed in something.” I say wryly. “What are you reading?” I lean down to help him up but he just blushes more as he quickly stands up nearly bumping into me in the process. I frown wondering why he always blushes so much.

 

 

 

 

“It's a book Guru says I must read.”

 

 

 

 

“Is that pervert still teaching you after a year? Haven't you learned enough by now?” I smiles evilly to myself as I says pervert because even though I care deeply for Clef in public I love to call him names.

 

 

 

 

Ascot stares at me the red heightening in his face and says in a shocked voice “Umi Clef isn't a pervert and I have so much more to learn.”

 

 

 

 

I just laugh. “Of course he isn't.” I say sarcastically though I really did mean what I had just said. “So is that book the reason why you weren't in the High Chamber when I arrived?”

 

 

 

 

“Huh? Oh err...yes.”

 

 

 

He is looking around for his book mark when I say impatiently. “You still haven't answered my question you know.” He stops looking for his book mark and blinks.

 

 

 

“Wh-What?”

 

 

 

 

“I asked you what you were reading and you said something that Pervert wanted you to read. That doesn't answer my question.” I stare at him with narrow eyes and he starts to stammer left and right.

 

 

 

“I-I...err...it's...I mean...it's...called...umm...err...” He glances at the cover of the book. “It's called Summon the Beasts” He says quickly which nearly made it impossible to understand but I decide to let it go he is already flustered enough.

 

 

 

 

“Right well I'm off to see if Celes and the others are through explaining things in the High Chamber” I start to walk off when Ascot grabs my shoulder. I turn to frown at him. “What?”

 

 

 

“Celes? Umi what are you talking about?” I realize I hadn't mentioned what had happened.

 

 

 

“Oh yeah, Celes and the other Mashin are back along with four other people.” Ascot's eyes bug out and I smile in amusement. I grab his arm and I start dragging him back the way I had came. “Come on you can see for yourself.” I don't see his blush as he stares at my hand holding his arm.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Hikaru~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

 

 

 

I hear my alarm go off and open my eyes. I sit up, turn off my alarm, and get up to get dressed for school. Yesterday was an eventful day. I hope today is a bit more relaxed. I didn't even get to go play in Cephirio it was all about the Mashin returning and their friends coming too.

 

 

 

After finishing dressing I run out of my room and into the kitchen where Satoru was setting out breakfast. Masaru and Kakeru came in after me and immediately came over to give me a hug. “Morning Hikaru.” They say in unison. I smile happily at them and sit down to eat. My brothers sit down as well and we start our meal.

 

 

 

“This is great Big Brother.” I tell Satoru as I dig into the pancakes, rice, eggs, and bacon sitting before me. He smiles softly at me before looking at our brothers.

 

 

 

“Slow down you two you are going to choke.” Satoru says calmly as the two of them wolf down everything they can get their hands on. I giggle as they look up their cheeks puffed out with food.

 

 

 

Masaru swallows and says to Satoru. “We aren't going to choke. We need our energy in case some guy tries to mess with our sweet little Hikaru.”

 

 

 

“That's right,” agrees Kakeru as he stuffs more food into his mouth. I look at them my kitty ears popping out.

 

 

 

Satoru just shakes his head and returns to his meal.

 

 

 

I finish eating and get up to wash my plate. After finishing that I go over and hug each of my brothers saying. “Bye bye big brothers I'm off to school. See you later.” I run out grabbing my bag as I do. I get outside and am greeted by Hikari. “Morning Hikari see you after school.” He barks a good bye and I race out of the yard.

 

 

 

I am just starting to walk when someone comes up behind me and grabs my bag. “Well what do we have here, if it isn't the littlest Magic Knight.” I spin around and stare at the man behind me. He grins and reaches into my bag to take out my magic glove. My eyes go wide and I try to grab it but another man comes up behind me and takes both my hands. The first man's grin grows wider “Now, now none of that. We are just gonna be takin this glove of yours. Don't want you messing up his Majesty's plan now do we?”

 

 

 

I blink and struggle to get free. “How do you know about me being a Magic Knight and who is his Majesty?”

 

 

 

The second man tightens his grip on my hands and pulls them behind my back causing pain along my spine and shoulder. “Don't be asking questions now or we may have to hurt ya.” The first man grins evilly and walks over to a truck that had just pulled up beside them.

 

 

 

The driver was a female and for a second I thought she would help me but her words proved me wrong. “You got the glove?”

 

 

 

“Yup.” The first man says holding up the glove and throwing my bag onto the sidewalk.

 

 

 

“Good then let's go.”

 

 

 

The man hops into the truck while the man behind lets go of my hands. He then grabs me by the shoulders and pushes me into the truck too.
