Three Worlds

Chapter 4: Where is Hikaru

A/N: Hello everybody I'm back! *hears groans and glares* I'm not that bad!!!! *Pouts* I'm really sorry I haven't updated in awhile I totally apologize. I wont give you any excuses though unless you ask for one because I always hate it when others give excuses. Hopefully I will be updating a lot more since it's finally SUMMER but I might be working this summer; I'll inform you if I do because it will mean I might not be able to update much. Oh I've been having a lot of problems with FF.net [Like not being able to log in] so I'm just wondering if anyone else has had problems too. Anyway here are the acknowledgments for reviewers.

Karu-14: LOL You don't want to waste your energy on Raiku there is someone worse than him, not going to tell you who though. [Ooooooo foreshadowing teehee.] Anyways there should be more Hikaru POVs in all these chapters it just wasn't the right time in the other chap. [Like I said before that chap didn't turn out how I wanted it to.] Thanks for the review again and all the other readers reading this you should read Karu's story Closer You and I it is really good.

 

The Girl Anachronism: I hope I don't fall into that trap especially when it's only a little bit of angst which will be coming up in this chapter. You'll have to tell me if I am a miserable failure in the angst area. Thanks ever so much for the review!

 

Disclaimer: Do I really have to say this?! After all, who out there is stupid enough to think that I would be the creator of MK? *hears a smart mouth yell “Me!”* Err...riiiiiiggggghhhhhhhttttt go take your medicine now. *Sighs* Fine I will say it I don't nor will I ever *sobs* own MK because CLAMP would never let me have MK [how mean of them].

 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ;Still Monday>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ;<<Hikaru>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>

 

I can't believe my eyes because standing before me was an exact replica of the Cephirian palace grounds. The only thing that was different was that there was a mansion instead of a palace.

 

As I stand there in disbelief Raiku comes up from behind to grab my roughly by the arm. “Come on ya little brat, the master be waitin' for ya.” I cringe at his surly accent and his tight hold.

 

Tahnee obviously seeing my wince grins at me. “Now Raiku be careful with the poor little princess wouldn't want to squeeze her to death before we're done with her.” Raiku and Ryoshan laughs at the comment before both throw me a sly smirk.

 

“Nope wouldn't wanna do that before we're done wit' her that for sure but once we are...” Raiku let his sentence trail off as I pale.

 

Staggering up the path to the mansion as Raiku drags me I notice a tree in the yard that looks exactly like the one Lantis always sits in while birds surround him. I feel tears start to fall down my cheeks as I image Lantis sitting there with his small smile as he gazes at the birds. That is when everything goes black.

 

“What da hell.” Was the last thing I remember hearing. [*sniffles* Aww poor Hikaru.]

 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ;<<Umi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>

 

Fuu and I reach Hikaru's dojo to find it in an uproar. Hikaru's three brothers were all running around in the yard as if looking for something. Satoru notices us at the gate and walks over.

 

“Umi, Fuu have you seen Hikaru today.”

 

“No, that's why we came here she has never been that late to meet us. What's wrong? What happened? Wha..” Satoru held up his hand to quiet me.

 

His face was grim as he said “We just got a call from Hikaru's Headmistress just awhile ago saying that Hikaru hadn't been at school but I know she left this morning to go.”

 

“But Miss Hikaru would never skip school.” [If you can't guess who that is talking you don't know MK very well.]

 

“Why do you think we are out here looking for her?” Masaru had come over too. “We are hoping she is close by. Because if she isn't...” Fuu placed a comforting hand on Masaru's arm.

 

“It's ok I'm sure Miss Hikaru is fine where ever she is and Miss Umi and I will help look for her.”

 

The brothers gave us a smile that never reached their eyes. “We would be happy for your help.” Satoru said quietly.

 

I give a nod. “Fuu and I will go check Cep...I mean we'll go see if she has gone to Tokyo Tower. I know we were just there but maybe she's there now.” They give a nod in return and Fuu and I give a hurried but polite bow before running off back the way we had came.

 

“Miss Umi do you think Hikaru went to Cephiro then?” Fuu hadn't missed my slip.

 

“I don't know but it's possible.” I pause “Let's hope.”

 

We continue in silence as there is only one thing on our minds, finding Hikaru safe in Cephiro.

 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ;<<Lantis>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>

 

“Guru I'm worried.” I almost chuckle at the look on the Guru's face as I softly admit this to him.

 

He quickly gets over his amazement and composes himself once more. “So am I. Never have the Magic Knights been so late.”

 

Just as he finishes there is a swirl of white lights in the middle of the room and we turn our worried gazes to the two girls who stood in the room. Wait two? That was my only thought before Umi rushed forward.

 

“Please tell me Hikaru is here.” She said her voice desperate.

 

All of us stare at her with various emotions: shock, horror, surprise, worry, puzzlement, and yes fear.

 

“No,” it was a single word that made a dramatic change because as we all look at the two girls their faces crumble and they look very near to tears.

 

“What happened?” Clef asked as he walks cautiously to them. (He doesn't know how to handle girls and most especially emotional girls.)

 

Fuu who had been looking at her feet looked up as the tears start to escape. “Miss Hikaru is gone.” She looks to me as she finishes, her eyes holding sorrow, fear, and sympathy. I wince mentally but I hold my emotionless mask in place.

 

“WHAT?! What do you mean Hikaru is gone?” Caldina screeched. “That isn't funny Fuu.” She looks around her eyes tearing up. “Where is she?” [Sorry if that is OOC to you but I'm not really sure how Caldina would react in this situation.]

 

LaFarga came forward and placed his hands gently on Caldina's shoulders in comfort.

 

“I think you should start from the beginning.” The Guru said to Umi and Fuu. They nod and all of us head into the High Chamber. Once inside Clef waves his hand and chairs appear for everyone but himself and me. I fold my arms across my chest and lean against the wall my gaze focused on Fuu and Umi.

 

“Now what has happened?” Everyone started at my voice but I remain still, not even blinking.

 

Umi takes a deep breath. “Well I reached Tokyo Tower first as usually with Fuu coming sometime later, which is usual too because Hikaru is always the last to arrive.” She pauses for a moment as if to gather her thoughts...or her courage. “So we waited for Hikaru to arrive but she never came and we waited forever too. It was starting to worry us so we went to Hikaru's dojo but when we got there...” Umi choked and didn't continue.

 

Fuu took over from there though her voice was hoarse and her eyes a blurry, red from tears. “Her brothers told us that Miss Hikaru never made it to school even though she left for it. That's really all there is and if she isn't here that means something happened to her because Miss Hikaru would never do go off without telling someone what she was doing. She knows we would worry.”

 

Tension fills the room as everyone remains silent besides the sobs that had started to come from Presea, Caldina, Fuu, and Umi.

 

“So then all we have to go on is one thing.” I comment. I look over to the Guru he nods.

 

“Yes.”

 

“What? We don't have anything to go off of. What are you two talking about?” Asks Umi angrily. “We know nothing and you just stand there calmly and...and” She buries her face in her hands.

 

Guru Clef goes to her placing a calming hand on her head. “There is one thing we can go off of and that is that Hikaru is still on Earth Umi.”

 

She lifts her head to stare at Clef. “How do we know that?”

 

“We know that because if she were to come to Cephiro she and whoever has her would have had to appear in the Grand Hall.”

 

A flash of hope flickers in Fuu's eyes but is quickly diminished. “That doesn't help very much Mr. Clef especially since we have no clue who took Miss Hikaru, where they took Miss Hikaru, or why they took Miss Hikaru.”

 

“True as that may be it will be much easier to look for Hikaru there than if she were here.” The Guru stated but upon seeing the blank expression both Fuu and Umi shot him he continued “If she were to be here it would mean we would have to search the other countries (As you should know they are basically other planets) but we shall only have to search Earth's countries.” Understanding lighted their face but they still were not happy.

 

“It still doesn't help much,” Umi nearly growls “Because there are still a lot of places to look.”

 

“Which is why we are going back with you,” I stated firmly.

 

Hikaru was forgotten for a moment as the two of them stare at me is shock for a few moments then they turn to Clef. “You can do that?” they asked in unison.

 

“Yes, and I do believe it would be best if we left now to look for her.” He motioned for everyone to stand. “All of you who wish to come follow me.” Everyone, including Malikai, Zvonimir, Yendraia, and Hyono followed the Guru out of the room. I go and stand in the middle of the room where the Guru joins me and the others stand around us. I take out my sword and the Guru places his staff perpendicularly to the ground.

 

Just as white light is about to envelop us Fuu suddenly says. “Wait.” We turn to look at her. “We can't just appear in Tokyo Tower with all of you. All of you would stick out with your strange clothing.” Clef and I look at each other.

 

“Very well.” States the latter and with a swift motion of his staff all those except the Magic Knights are covered in a bright light. When the lights disappear it reveals everyone wearing short shorts, flip flops, tee-shirts, light jackets, and in some cases a cute uniform hat like the Magic Knights' except in different colors. [Yes, I mean everyone including the guys. =^.^=] Umi slaps a hand to her mouth to smother a laugh and Fuu coughs delicately into her hand. “What?” asks a now peeved Guru “We are now wearing clothes suitable to your world what could possibly be the problem now?”

 

Umi just falls to the floor laughing hysterically and Fuu is trying not to join her. “Well you see...um...”

 

“You're wearing girl clothes!” bursts Umi holding her stomach tightly.

 

A look of complete disbelief crawls up the men's faces. “WHAT!!” I yell my face twisted from its normal calm into horror. I look down “But this isn't a dress or a skirt.”

 

“Yes, but in our world men would never wear flip flops, shorts that short, jackets like those, or hats like that.” says Fuu calmly her eyes twinkling. (Picture one of those floppy garden hats with a bow around the middle.) [I saw a picture of Fuu wearing one of those somewhere and thought it looked cute on her.]

 

I yank the hat off my head, as I was one of those who had one on, and turned a murderous glare on Guru Clef.

 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<& lt;Hikaru>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;

 

I wake up with a whimper and open my eyes. “What where...” that's when the memories come flooding back and my eyes widen. I notice I am in a beautifully decorated bedroom lying on a soft bed. I also notice I was no longer wearing my school clothes but a beautiful pink night gown. [You know I really don't like pink that much. *Sigh* All well it will have to do maybe if I write about it enough I will like it better.]

 

Startled, as a soft chuckle comes from the end of my bed, I swerve my gaze to find a man who had not been there a moment before standing there looking at me. He had cherry blossom pink hair, [Hmm...there it is again, pink. lol] eyes a darker pink than his hair, an angelic face with soft curves, and a slightly muscular body. As he stands there looking at me I can see that he is wearing a silver tee-shirt and blue jeans. I was confused to say the least. He didn't look like the type who would be involved in kidnapping anyone especially with that handsome smile on his face. Oh Kami I did not just think that.

 

“So you're finally awake little one.” He grins at me making me blush more. Why is he so handsome? Wait...why am I thinking that I have Lantis and Eagle. His grin widens almost as if he can read my thoughts.

 

“Who are you?” I ask quickly trying not to blush. [*gasp* Does Hikaru have a crush? *snickers*]

 

He bows and says pleasantly “I am Hiroshi and it is a pleasure to meet you Hikaru.”

 

“Um...”

 

He chuckles again “There is no reason to be afraid I wont hurt you nor will anyone else in this household.” I blink and look at him warily. He sighs “I truly mean you no harm Magic Knight of Fire.” I can hear nothing but sincerity in his voice and the sincerity in his eyes support the sincerity in his voice. I can't help but feel myself relax though I was still cautious.

 

“If you don't mean me any harm why was I kidnapped?”

 

“Ah yes I do apologize for that but it couldn't be helped.”

 

“What do you mean it couldn't be helped?”

 

“Well you most definably wouldn't have helped us bring about Cephiro's destruction any other way.”

 

I stare at him feeling as if the walls are closing in on me. “But you said you meant no harm!” I yell.

 

“I said I mean you no harm but not of Cephiro or your friends.”

 

Standing up on the bed I glare at him. “What makes you think that just because you kidnapped me that I would let you harm my friends?!”

 

His smiles which had been handsome a moment before twisted into an evil grin. “Who said you had a choice?” he asked quietly and before I could react he had pulled me off the bed into his chest. “You see little one I'm not giving you a choice in the matter.” Leaning down he crushes his lips to mine as his arms crush me to him. I was too stunned to do anything but let him kiss me. Pulling away he lets his hold on me loosen and his eyes glitter down at me. “I did mean what I said before though. I mean you no harm.” He then walks out of the room leaving me, very confused, behind. [Haha bet you didn't see any of that coming. Oh and no killing the author it is strictly prohibited.]

 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ;<<Fuu>>>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>>>

 

We had finally gotten the clothes issue under control and we were all heading toward my home where I knew everyone would be welcome. I glance at everyone and notice that Mr. Lantis had still not completely calmed down. He may not like to show his emotions but I suppose Mr. Lantis has to draw the line at discovering he is wearing women's clothing. Though I must say the others have taken to Tokyo quite nicely after the initial amazement at first seeing Tokyo from the Tower.

 

Upon arriving at the gates of my home my older sister comes running forward. “Oh Miss Fuu you're home early. Who are your friends?” She smiles at everyone.

 

“Hello Sister. This is...”

 

My sister interrupts me by saying. “It's alright Miss Fuu let's wait until we are all inside.” She skips ahead smiling back at us. “Don't take too long.”

 

“You know Fuu your sister is a lot like Hikaru except for all the formality.” Umi says she then looks down at her hands as she remembers why we are here with the others. I only nod and we finish the walk to my home in silence.

 

Sister is there waiting in the doorway with the butler standing behind her ready to take our jackets and hats. I hand my jacket to him as I walk past giving him a smile of thanks along the way. Umi does the same but the other hesitate they obviously are not used to someone taking something from them. [I didn't see any servants in MK so I'm just going to say that the Cephirians are used to doing things for themselves.] The hand their jackets over however and join us inside the mansion.

 

“Well it is a pleasure to have you here. My name is Akina.” [I don't remember her ever having a name so this is what I'm calling her.] She smiled at the other expectantly.

 

“Sister this is Miss Umi, Mr. Windam, Mr. Rayearth, Mr. Celes, Mr. Lantis, Mr. Clef, Miss Presea, Mr. LaFarga, Mr. Ascot, Miss Caldina, Mr. Zvonimir, Mr. Malikai, Miss Yendraia, and Miss Hyono.

 

“Wow Fuu that was a mouthful.” said a sardonic Umi.

 

“It's a pleasure to meet friends of Miss Fuu. Now why don't all of you make yourself comfortable and I will have a maid bring in some tea.” Akina goes over to the door where a servant waited. “Please bring us some tea.” The servant nods and walks off with a slight bow. Akina turns to me. “So Miss Fuu you must tell me why your friends are here as much as I am overjoyed to meet them I doubt this is a normal house call.”

 

I smile. (You know the one that makes you think she is up to something but can't prove.) “You are so perspective Sister. You're right this isn't a normal house call I invited them to stay here because they have just arrived in Japan and I could never let them stay at a hotel. I thought it would be better for them to get used to Japan in a home with a few people you know than with complete strangers at a hotel.”

 

“Oh yes, we could never allow something like that! You are completely right Miss Fuu and I'm sure Mother and Father will agree.” She turns to the others as I readjust my glasses. [wasn't that what she did after finishing with Ferio that first time? lol] “You all must most assuredly stay here during your duration here in Japan we will not have it any other way.”

 

Just then a man and a woman walked into the room. The man had the same eyes and hair as me while the woman looked like an older version of Akina. I stand up and give a slight bow. “Hello Father, Mother I hope you have had a good day.”

 

“We have. Thank you Daughter now tell us who are our guests here.” I introduce everyone again and was about to explain that I had invited them to stay when Sister beat me to it. I was quite glad to allow Sister to take over though and I was not surprised when my parents agree that they could not allow everyone to stay at a hotel. [I thought since the rest of her family is so formal I figured her parents would be the same way. So that is why they call her Daughter not Fuu.]

 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ;<<Umi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ;>

 

Fuu and I were sitting in her room waiting for the others to arrive. It was almost midnight and I had called my parents not long after arriving at Fuu's to ask them if I could stay the night. We didn't want anyone in Fuu's family to hear our discussion so we had all planned to meet in Fuu's bedroom at midnight. The others didn't understand what we had meant at first so we had to show them the alarm clocks and show them what twelve o'clock would look like on the little digital machines.

 

I was just about to get up and start pacing when a light tap came from the door so instead of pacing I opted to hurriedly open the door. Everyone but Clef stood outside the door looking either bored (on Lantis's part) or anxious.

 

I glare at them. “Where is that Pervert Clef?” THUMP “OWW!” Clef had walked up as I asked that and hit me on the head with his staff.

 

“Shh...Miss Umi please be quiet we don't want to wake my family up.”

 

“It's his fault.” I point an accusatory finger at Clef. Still I do quiet down and trudge to Fuu's bed where I sit with my arms crossed. By the satisfied look on Clef's face I knew that my face must look like I had just eaten a lemon...whole.

 

“We must figure out where to look for Hikaru.” I believe that was the longest sentence Lantis has ever put together in front of anyone except Hikaru or Eagle.

 

“How are we supposed to do that? We don't know who took her or why.” I point out rather reasonably. [I'm not sure I would trust her opinion of reason. O_O Just a thought.]

 

“I may be able to help in this situation.” Rayearth spoke so softly I almost didn't hear him.

 

“WHAT!”

 

“Miss Umi, please not so loud.”

 

“Why didn't you say so to begin with?”

 

It was Celes who answered. “Because it is something you should have been able to figure out as a Magic Knight.”

 

“How does being a Magic Knight make a diff...” My eyes widen as I realize what they were talking about. I also notice that Fuu had figured it out by her face, just as I observed that none of the others had. “Oh, well you still could have said something.”

 

“I'm afraid I am still lost as I believe everyone else is,” comments an impatient [as always] Clef.

 

“It's really quite simple really. Magic Knights can call upon their Mashin and the Mashin in return can do the same. We just have Rayearth call out to Hikaru and ask her to tell us where she is being held and by whom.” I look at Clef as if he is a simpleton.

 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ;<<Hikaru>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>

 

“Everyone is probably so worried. I don't want anyone to worry about me.” I move over to the window. “Maybe I can find a way to escape.” Saying this I pull the curtains from the window and look out. [Chibi Hikaru time] There is no way even if I can open the window that I would be able to jump from here. It looks like the room I'm in is on the sixth floor.

 

Padding over to the door I turn the knob and it opens. “Err...You mean all I had to do was open the door?”

 

“Well if you mean all you had to do was open the door to come out of the room then yes but if you meant all you had to do was open the door to escape then no.” Hiroshi is leaning against the wall on the opposite side of the hall and he is smirking. “You aren't a prisoner to your room Hikaru but nor are you allowed to leave this house without me.”

 

I feel anger bubbling up inside of me like never before. “You can't keep me here and you can't make me help you destroy Cephiro!” Lunging past him I start to run but I'm worried because he is making no move to follow me. I can't hear any foot steps from behind me. The reason why he didn't bother becomes apparent as an arm shoots out from behind a corner and latches onto my waist.

 

“Now ya wouldn't be plannin' on run now would ya?” Raiku's sickly sweet voice reaches my ears and I feel like crying in frustration.

 

“Bring her here Raiku.”

 

“Sure thing master, come on ya little brat.” Raiku drags me back to where Hiroshi is still leaning against the wall and eyes flashing with amusement. Grasping me by the shoulders Raiku forces me to face Hiroshi.

 

“Hikaru, Hikaru what am I to do with you? I can't have you trying to run off you know.” He pushes himself away from the wall and he walks forward to kneel down. His fingers gently force my chin up so that I have to look him in the eyes. “Hikaru you mustn't try to escape again or I will be very angry with you and I will have to punish you. Now you don't want that do you?”

 

I refuse to answer him and I try to turn my face away but his fingers hold me steady. His eyes flicker with something sinister but it's gone in a flash so I couldn't identify it. My body starts to tremble as Hiroshi leans forward. No, he is going to kiss me again! Struggling does no good with Raiku holding onto my shoulders and Hiroshi right in front of me but something else does same me at least for the moment.

 

`Magic Knight!'

 

Hiroshi jerks to a standing position looking around.

 

“Rayearth, help please!” I call out in both my mind and aloud.

 

Hiroshi growls and a black mist rushes out of him completely enveloping the hall and ripping the communication between Rayearth and myself apart.

 

Falling to the floor from the sharp pain the sudden loss of Rayearth caused me. I feel like each breath is going to kill me.

 

“So your friends are looking for you.” Kneeling down in front of me again and forcing me to look up once more Hiroshi stares angrily at me. “Don't get too excited Hikaru they will never be able to find you and even if they did they would not leave this place alive.” With a bruising kiss he brings me to his chest before flinging me into Raiku. “Take her into her room and lock it on your way out I don't want this to happen again.” He turns and walks down the hall leaving me to Raiku's mercies. [Mercies? Raiku? Raiku doesn't have any mercy! Uh-oh poor Hikaru]

 

 

A/N: So Karu was that enough Hikaru POV's? Tee hee. Oh I've been thinking of doing another story because it keeps popping into my mind when I'm writing this one and I can't concentrate. Do you think I should? Before answering that I'll give you the summary.

 

Summary: Cephiro is ruled by the evil Princess Emeraude while Earth is experiencing the horror of Priest Zagato's rule. These two tyrants are working together to bring both worlds under their complete control; Princess Emeraude simply for the power and Zagato to win Emeraude's cold heart. There is a resistance in Cephiro that is working hard to prevent such a tragedy but in order for them to succeed they need to have people in both worlds helping. However, very few people can cross between worlds, they are called Daihoms. Daihoms have the ability to transfer themselves and others from world to world and that is exactly why Zagato and Emeraude are taking them and forcing their power from them. With the tyrants with almost all of the Daihoms the resistance must search for the only Daihoms powerful enough to move whole armies between the worlds; Shidou Hikaru, Ryuuzaki Umi, and Hououji Fuu. One slight problem they reside on Earth while the resistance is stuck on Cephiro.

 

Well that's the summary what do you think, should I right the story? If you think so, please tell me and if you could give me some ideas for a title that would be great, because I can't think of one. Oh and here is a small name glossary for the two new names in the story.

 

Hiroshi - Generous [Great name for him right? =^.^= lol]

Akina - Spring Flower
