Love in a Blossom
Chapter 2
Shimi comes bursting through the curtains “I’m back and ready for action!” hooting comes from the backrow (Shimi blushes) ‘till she realizes that it’s only Fuu, Ferio, Ascot, Umi, Lantis, Hikaru, and Eagle the rest of the building is completely deserted.Ascot: Finally! What happens!? What happens!?Shimi: Hold on!! Where is my audience ???Hikaru + Umi + Fuu: Umm we kinda scared them off Shimi: YOU DID WHAT!!!! I am gonna’Umi: Ha ha you can’t do nothin’ cause you don’t own us CLAMP does.Hikaru + Fuu: yeah ha ha ha (all the girls pull raspberries)Shimi: So you wana play hard ball huh? ! Whips out a typewriter Umi: what are you doing?Shimi: *tap *tap *tap storm…pole...cliff.. *Tap *tappity *tap...rope...chain..chairs..*tap *tappity *TAP! A whirl of light and the boys are all chained to their chairs and gagged and the girls are no where to be seen. Ha ha do you boys what to know where your girls are well they are. Here a screen comes down a Shimi and she uses a remote to show them three pictures the 1st is of Hikaru hanging from a frayed rope by her wrists off a cliff 1,000 of feet above a monster pit, the 2nd is a picture of Fuu in a little bubble surrounded by water in corner was a clock set for 3 days, the last was of Umi chained to a large metal pole in the middle of a lightning storm. Makes you nervous don’t it mister bond mmuuhaha sorry I got carried away. Oh and these won’t help you Shimi holds up two objects one was a small pink orb (Ferio makes a loud noise that sounds incredibly like Damn it) the second was s delicate gold locket (it was hardly any guess work what Lantis was saying) o so we have some potty mouths around here well I’ll fix that types on typewriter next thing Ferio and Lantis have bars of soap in their mouths. “That’s better now as I was saying you have exactly 3 days to save the girls one or (pulls finger across her throat) cccchhhhccccc!!! Ready go! Shimi pushes a button and the boys’ chains break off and their seats drop from beneath them. Well while they’re on that chase here’s my story I rated it PG-13 just to be safe.

Suddenly Umi let go stepped away from Ascot “ I’m sorry Ascot but every time I’m tempted to kiss you I remember the first time you decided to become good when you where a little kid and it just really creeps me out.” “Damn but Um-““Ascot I know you love me but I can’t help the way. I feel can we please go home?”Umi slowly sunk to here knees gently scratching the eagle beast’s back. In a depressed silence Ascot slowly asked his friend to head back to the castle which it gladly did because it could feel the tension in the air.When they returned to the castle Umi slowly walked down the corridor towards her room. As she neared her room she heard Hikaru and Fuu calling her “Umi-ster! Miss. Umi!” barely noticing she continued to walk watching her feet lost in thought “Why can’t I kiss him? My heart longs to but my mind won’t ever let me. Shit! Why? I love him don’t I? Yes I do! So why can’t I kiss him? OOOHHHH!! Hikaru spotted Umi first “Hey Fuu-ster I found her!” Hikaru walked up to Umi but something was wrong her friend didn’t have her usual cherry complaining attitude around her and Umi just walked by a if she wasn’t even there. “Umi-ster are you ok? Umi-ster?”“ Everything is fine Hikaru I’m just tired”Slowly Umi pushed open her door and shut it in Hikaru’s face. Hikaru just stood there dumfounded. “What’s wrong with Miss. Umi.”“ I don’t know Fuu-ster, she looked distant like she was in her own mind and it scared her.”Before Fuu could respond they heard faint crying coming from behind Umi’s door.“ Miss. Umi are you ok?” asked Fuu as she slowly opened the door “ Yes Fuu I’m fine, it’s just..” Umi starts crying burying her face into her pillowFuu and Hikaru slowly walk in and sit beside their friend Hikaru gently stokes Umi’s hair remembering how it had always comforted her when she was down.“What happened Umi-ster?”“Nothing happened Hikaru that’s just it,” explained Umi sitting up clutching her pillow“ How about you start from the beginning Miss. Umi then maybe we’ll understand”Umi tells them everything from meeting Ascot in the hall to pushing him away. only stopping to take a deep breath to keep from busting into tears.“Oh so that’s the problem Miss. Umi”“What do you oh by Fuu were you expecting it to be that !?”“No no nothing like that Miss. Umi it’s just so simple you have to decide if you truly love him-”“But I do Fuu I do”“then tell him Umi-ster after all it shouldn’t matter if he was just a kid when you first met him after all you love him for who he is.” interjected HikaruUmi watched as her friends slowly got up and left her to her tormenting thoughts.“I love him don’t I ….. YES! I do love him it doesn’t matter that he was a kid after all I was one too. But the fact is I love him and he loves me.” Happily she changed into her nightgown and went to bed with these thoughts. Unknown to Umi across the castle Ascot was in his own room tormenting himself “why does she still think me a child. Does she love me? DAMN! (He slams his fist on the table in front of him) Whoever made love so complicated?! Caldina rushes in apon hearing the loud bang made by him pounding his fist on the table “Why Ascot was the matta boy?”“Nothing Caldina nothing at all”“Now don’t you go lyin' to me, what’s the matta?”“Oh Caldina it’s Umi I love her but she still thinks of me as a kid.”“Ah girl troubles Ascot now ya really makin’ me feel lika big sista. It’s very simple Ascot just let her sort out her feeling eventually she’ll to her senses.”“Thanks for your help Caldina it meant a lot to me.” Ascot told her as he gave her a big hug “Welcome any time sweetie” Caldina slowly rose and left. But Ascot really wasn’t comforted by her advice and he fell into a fitful tormenting sleepThe next morning Umi rose earlier than anybody else did in the castle, snuck out of her room and set off in search of Ascots room. To be continued…
