~ Chapter 1: the Guest and Request  
  
I ran and caught up with my friends and fellow knights, exhaust evident.  
  
"Do you any of you know what he wants?" I asked, I was trying to catch my breath but was failing miserably. I stared at Fuu and Hikaru waiting for answers. Both shook their heads, I sighed 'This better be something really good Clef'  
  
"We know Guru Clef wanted to see us and that's about it, right?" Hikaru and I nodded. "He has to have a reasonable answer then," She smiled, I glared at the hallway that led to his study. Hikaru and Fuu stared at me, even though I wasn't looking at them I knew.  
  
"What!?" I snapped both shuddered "sorry," I muttered, Hikaru jumped and gave me quick hug.  
  
"You look ready to kill him!" She laughed in a sing song voice. I stared at her, and gently pat her on the head.  
  
"I was in the middle of a fencing match and suddenly I have his voice in my head, not only making me lose the fight and my concentration but it hurt!" To show my pain I slowly started to rub my head, as if trying to get rid of a headache.  
  
"Well we better hurry we don't want to suffer the wrath of a angry Clef." Fuu said cheerfully and headed in the direction of Clef's study, I followed slowly thinking how could Ascot take being around the 747 year old man every day as his apprentice , and soon found myself running to catch up with them.  
  
~  
  
"About time," I secretly stuck my tongue out at the short man in front of me and earned a chuckle from the man in the shadows yet to show himself. Clef continued to pace his eyes oddly never left me. "I'd like you to meet a old friend of mine Albus Dumbledore." The man in the shadows stepped out and I could see him fully. He had a long silver like beard that flowed to the floor and half moon glasses but what confused me the most was he wore a purple robe with stars and moons embroidered onto it and I knew that wasn't something common in the real world.  
  
"It is a honor to meet you legendary Magic Knights, I come in need of assistance." I , Fuu, and Hikaru stared at the elderly man in front of us.  
  
"What do you need Dumbledore-san?" Fuu like always took charge of the situation. He smiled at her.  
  
"Before we go any farther, you should know I am a headmaster at a school in Britain, We teach our students Magic," I gaped, magic did he just say magic. This was too much , magic in the real world the world I grew up and lived in until a year ago. I blinked and continued to stare not believing it.  
  
"So you're saying that there is a magical world, in the real world. How come we never heard of it before?" Dumbledore smiled at me, and for some reason with that comforting smile I felt safe.  
  
"You could say we've kept ourselves very well hidden from muggles, non- magical folk, and if it weren't for the princesses wish to send you here when you were 14 , I dare say you still wouldn't know about us." I took this all in.  
  
"Okay so there's two worlds. The non-magical one and then the magical one right?" He nodded staring at me through his half moon glasses, "So again why do you need our help?" His kind smile became a frown, one filled with sadness, hate and worry.  
  
"You must understand 16 years ago there was a dark wizard reigning, his name was Voldemort, his goal was to destroy all the muggles so that only pureblooded wizards survived but yet the wizards that wouldn't join him even if they were pure he would still kill. Now one night he murdered a family , the Potters. The family consisted of James Potter, Lily Potter, and their one year old son Harry. Voldemort tried to convince the Potters to join him but they refused and he killed both Lily and James, but when he tried to kill Harry his spell backfired and hit him, he was destroyed for the time being while the boy was left with only a scar on his forehead." I instinctively put my hand up to my throat. How could someone kill so many innocent people like that and for what.  
  
For power, why was it that everyone fought for power , why couldn't the world be in peace. I soft tear ran down my cheek.  
  
"My task is I'd like you three to accompany me to the school for the year to watch over the boy who lived," I saw my friends eyes fill with tears, they had to leave their lovers.  
  
"Just as three?" Hikaru asked softly, I watched her.  
  
"Actually no," he turned to Clef "I was hoping you Clef could come with us to take over the position of Defense against the Dark Arts?" Clef stared at his friend.  
  
"I couldn't Albus, without me and the knights the people of Cephiro would worry and in this world worry can lead to war!" I thought about what he said.  
  
"They'll have two very good swordsmen to protect them and Ascot--" "Ascot if I go he must come with me , besides he is advanced when coming to monsters , I am only good with spells." I glared at him for interrupting me.  
  
"Very well your apprentice can come as well." I knew Clef was thinking about it , thinking about it very hard as well.  
  
"Fine I agree to come, but if I hear about one major event happen here I will instantly leave and I don't know if I'll come back." Dumbledore nodded "I suggest you two say goodbye to Lantis and Ferio. I must go tell Presea to make you, and Ascot wands, and then I must see Ascot." I watched as he finished his sentence and left to do what he said he was going to do.

I walked the empty halls, I was excited yet not, the prospect of another war and being part of this war saddened me. I had seen too many people die because of fighting.  
  
"Umi are you okay?" I recognized the voice immediately, turning around, I stared at Clef straight in the eyes, I noticed how quickly I could drown in his dark midnight blue eyes, 'stop it Umi'  
  
"Yes I'm fine Clef," I knew he didn't believe me, I started to walk away but was stopped, I stared down at his hand and felt my cheeks tint.  
  
"No you're not, please tell me what's wrong Umi!" I felt them, the droplets of water come to my eyes. My feet sagged beneath me. Falling to the ground I lay at his height for once.  
  
"I don't want to fight anymore Clef, and yet we're leaving to protect a boy who is endangered by a powerful man who wants him dead! There will probably be a war and I've seen too many people die because of war. I don't want to see anymore of it." I cried leaning against his chest, I could feel the wetness on his robes where my tears fell. He wrapped his arm around me and gently tried to calm me down.  
  
"I feel the same way Umi. Believe me, when you've lived 747 years you see many deaths even those you never wish to see," I looked up at him but he evaded my eyes.  
  
"Don't the people live as long as you though?" I asked through tears. He rose his head and stared at the ceiling of the palace.  
  
"Some decide to and some don't, I have never allowed my will to want to die because I was afraid, I didn't have a successor, I was afraid the people would be frightened without a master mage to protect them in times of need, but now that Ascot is soon to be done his apprenticeship I may--" "No Clef you can't die!" I screamed.  
  
"You should get packed were leaving after dinner." He was avoiding my eyes again, I stood shaking and headed in the direction of my room.  
  
~  
  
I reached for the trunk I had found in my room as I had walked in. It was a sea blue color that I had instantly adored, and on the top left corner the initials 'U.R' were printed in bold silver. I traced the letters with my right hand, it had been so long since I had last been in the real world, I had to admit I forgot what it was like. I tugged at the jewel glove, Dumbledore had told us that if we wanted we were allowed to come to practice our fighting skills at night and so I had to do something I hadn't done in awhile, take them off.  
  
I stared at my free hands, they were pale. Looking around I realized something , I have no idea as to what to pack, and as if on cue a knock was heard on my door.  
  
"Come in," I continued to think as the guest walked in "Oh Dumbledore-san.. You may be what I need, um what am I supposed to pack?" He laughed at my confused look, pouting I looked away from him.  
  
"I'm sorry Miss. Ryuuzaki for laughing, for what you need to pack you already have everything," He gestured to my trunk, turning around to it I noticed that it was now full, turning back to the headmaster , I stared the question of how it got full on the tip of my tongue .  
  
"If you are wondering how everything got here , I brought it and Supposedly Clef just transported all the items you'll be needing to your trunk but I didn't buy you a dress robe." I watched as he walked to my wardrobe "Which dress is your favorite?" I stood beside him and looked at the array of dresses that I had. I spotted my favorite near the back. Reaching for it , I pulled it out and laid it on the bed for him. Smiling he walked towards it and brought out what I guessed as his wand.  
  
"ornatus," I stared as the dress undid all it's stitches and remade itself in the form of a formfitting robe, Dumbledore picked it up and nodded "You have good taste Miss. Ryuuzaki many man will be jealous of your partner if you wear this to the ball," He had a mysterious grin on his face.  
  
"A ball.. Oh Dumbledore-san you must invite Lantis and Ferio to come for Hikaru and Fuu's sake. I know they will not enjoy themselves because if they go with someone else they'll feel like they've betrayed the ones they love but I know that they would not want to miss out on a ball!" Dumbledore put his finger to his lip to silence me.  
  
"I've already done so, I'm not some heartless man," I shook my head violently.  
  
"And I do not think you are heartless because the moment I met you I felt safe." I smiled at the elderly man and he smiled back.  
  
'Umi please make your way to the dinning hall and bring Albus with you.' Clef's voice rang in my head, I told Dumbledore my instructions and together we headed to the dinning hall to meet the others.  
  
~  
  
"OK one at a time I will call you forth and give you your wands and explain to you what I used to make them, you first Fuu." Fuu walked towards Presea. I watched from beside Dumbledore as Presea brought her hands together only to slowly pull them apart. As she did so a blast of wind flew from her hands and we all watched as a wand materialized, The wood was dark but near the tip four green tiny circles appeared and Windam's seal lay directly in the middle of them.  
  
"Made of the Oak tree from the real world 11 inches , the core is made with a feather from each of the runes god Windam's four wings, this wand was destined for the Magic Knight of Wind and she alone," Fuu took the wand from Presea and stared at it, green sparks emitted from the tip. "Hikaru,"  
  
Once again Presea repeated the process of bringing her hands together and slowly pulling them apart but instead of wind , a surge of fire came from her hands until a dark brown red wand appeared. It had like Fuu's wand four red tiny circles and in the middle the seal of Rayearth lay.  
  
"Made of the Sakura tree from the real world 10 inches, the core is made with a fiery hair of the mane of the runes god Rayearth's Mane, this wand was destined for the Magic Knight of Fire and she alone." Red sparks came from the wand as Hikaru held it. Presea looked at me and without being called I stepped forward.  
  
She repeated the process once again but this time like a white water rapid a stream of water emerged from her hands and finally like all of the other times a pale brown wand appeared. It too had four tiny circles but this time they were blue and Selece's seal stood in the middle.  
  
"Made of the Willow tree from the real world 12 inches, the core is made with a scale of the runes god Selece's tail, this wand was destined for the Magic Knight of Water and she alone," I took it and blue sparks came, smiling I stepped back.  
  
Ascot stepped forward but instead of doing what she had done for us, she drew a triangle in the air and then a circle and as she finished the circle a faint gold outlined appeared reaching into the circle she pulled her arm out to reveal a gold brown wand. She spoke out loud that it had been made with the help of Ascot's friend as their thank you for his friendship and allowing them to be seen as good and not evil.  
  
"Clef," The room stayed quiet , I looked around and noticed for the first time that Clef wasn't part of the group, Where is he? Went through my mind.  
  
"Presea you should know that I do not need a wand made for me if I already have one," Everyone including myself turned to face the new voice, my eyes went wide there standing in front of me was Clef but it wasn't Clef. He-- He had grown. Instead of the Small ten year old looking boy he now looked like he was four years my senior, his white robes had turned to those of black and his voice was deeper, I hated to admit it but he looked handsome. I fought the urge to blush at my thought.  
  
"I see everyone is ready, Lantis, Ferio please take care of Cephiro while we are gone, everyone form a circle." We followed his instruction, I watched as my friends said goodbye to their loved one, and felt a pang of loneliness inside my heart.  
  
"Back to the real world," I muttered before we teleported away from Cephiro back to the real world , the world we all had left behind.

Chapter 2: the Sorting and Dreams  
  
With a small pop the three of us arrived. I took in our surroundings, which wasn't a lot. A solid oak door stood towering in front of us, while stairs in all directions were taking control of the back, and side. I turned my attention to Dumbledore who was talking to Clef, probably about his job. I smiled, Clef a teacher, I had always wondered why he never opened a school for those worthy of magic but weren't sure how to control it. My attention was turned towards the door, as I heard a voice coming from it.  
  
"As you may already tell, Professor Dumbledore is not here. His reasons are that we shall be having three exchange students coming to join us this year from Japan," I heard the whispers and turned to look at my friends. They too had heard the whispers and the strict voice and were waiting eagerly for the woman to continue "Whatever house they are put in , I hope you shall treat them with respect and welcome them warmly." The doors opened , jumping back from them a little , I noticed it was Dumbledore pushing them open.  
  
I watched as he strode in, with a small smile and whispered something into the lady's ear, the woman nodded curtly.  
  
I watched as Clef and Ascot soon followed Dumbledore and made their way to what I guessed as the Staff Table. I watched as Clef made a chair with his wand for Ascot to sit beside this really, really tall man and then moved along the row stopping until he sat down in a chair beside this man with straight shoulder length black hair.  
  
"I will call out your name and you will come to the stool to be sorted," I quickly looked back at the other woman, I had completely forgotten about her. "Hikaru Shidou." I watched quietly as Hikaru made her way to the stool. I could tell she was nervous and there was still a hint of sadness, because of leaving Lantis, but she still shone as brightly as the sun, innocent as ever.  
  
After she had been sitting on the small stool for over 5 minutes, the hat finally decided where to put her.  
  
"Gryffindor!" I smiled Dumbledore had told us that was the house that the boy we were supposed to protect was in, at least one of us was in his house. I scanned over the heads of the gryffindors searching for his. Surprisingly it wasn't that hard as he and his friends, Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger I think were their names, were staring at me eyes filled with as much curiosity as myself. We both realized the other was staring and quickly turned the other way.  
  
I looked across the rest of the room, at the Slytherins , Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws. I then turned my attention to the staff.  
  
Ascot and the tall man were talking animatedly, about what I guessed as Creatures and how there given a bad name because they're misunderstood. My eyes skipped over all the other professors until they landed on Clef and the Black haired man. They were having what looked like a polite conversation, and when the other man said something that looked insulting, I was amazed to see Clef keep his cool and not whack the guy on the head like he would've done to me, I instinctively rose my hand to my head.  
  
"Gryffindor!" I was shook out of my thoughts and watched Fuu walk towards the same table Hikaru had, surprised that I hadn't noticed her not beside me.  
  
"Umi Ryuuzaki!" I urged my feet on, and tried to ignore the stares. I finally made my way to the small stool and sat down.  
  
'Well if it isn't the Magic Knight of Water.' A kind yet somewhat sarcastic voice rang in my ears.  
  
"Um how do you know about me?" my voice ever so quiet afraid everyone would hear me, the voice chuckled in my mind.  
  
'I can read your thoughts, and the thought that shines the brightest is the one that tells me you are a Magic Knight.' I felt my mouth fall to the shape of a 'O' and continued to listen.  
  
'hmm you're defiantly not a Hufflepuff, you're smart but not smart enough to be a Ravenclaw-' "Hey!" I yelled this time mentally "I am too smart!" I heard that same chuckle.  
  
'So that leaves either Slytherin or Gryffindor, hmm I believe I will put you in,' the voice paused for affect, I guessed 'Evil Hat' I thought quickly before my thoughts were drowned out.  
  
"Slytherin!!"  
  
My eyes went wide. No! no! no! no! Why wasn't I with my friends? Why'd I have to be different? I slowly made my way to the cheering table. I seated myself beside a random person. My eyes went straight away to meet Hikaru's and Fuu's, both were giving me a sympathetic smile. I turned my head to look at Dumbledore only to meet Clef's intense gaze. Just with his eyes I could tell he was asking me if I was alright. I nodded slowly then turned my attention to Dumbledore.  
  
"Welcome once again to another year at Hogwarts! Before we start the feast please let me introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, Professor Yoshida and his apprentice Professor Seibutsu. I also have a few start of term rules to be set out. First of all first years and Transfer Students should know that the forest surrounding the school is forbidden and second, our Caretaker Mr. Filch has asked me, like he does every year that there is no spell casting in the corridors between classes. With that said let the feast begin!" He finished with a smile.  
  
All of a sudden I was surrounded by food and half of it I didn't recognize! I quickly grabbed the only thing editable that looked familiar and poured myself a guess of this orange liquid that I hoped was orange juice. Taking a sip from my drink while staring wistfully at the ceiling , I suddenly tasted something odd. Realizing it was my drink I instantly spit it out back into golden goblet awaiting it.  
  
"You act as if you've never tasted pumpkin juice before." I looked up to face a girl with Ebony hair and violet eyes. She smiled a well not a smile but half of one. A smirk if you'd like.  
  
"I didn't know they made juice with pumpkins," I wiped the side of my mouth with a napkin.  
  
"You're Umi Ryuuzaki right?" I looked up at her while pouring myself a glass of water.  
  
"Hai." She looked at me in a confused way, I looked back equally confused then realized what the problem was.  
  
"Gomen! Hai means-" "Yes in Japanese, right?" I turned to the intruder , only to meet once again a pair of startling eyes , this time though instead of eyes of deep blue , I stared into silver orbs. I felt my cheeks flame.  
  
"Hai!" It was the only thing I could think of saying at the time. The ebony haired girl gave a low laugh, drawing my attention away from the silver eyes of the intruder.  
  
"Draco , I never knew you spoke Japanese!" The intruder 'Draco' it seemed barely breathed before his voice drawled out a response.  
  
"Shows what you know Zabini," I looked at the two, were they friends? Or at least more then mere acquaintances, if only a tiny bit.  
  
"Hmph well anyway before I was we were rudely interrupted , I was about to introduce myself. Blaise Zabini." Pointing a delicate finger at the 'Draco' person she continued "and this is Draco Malfoy. Welcome to Slytherin." I could hear the sarcasm in her voice and had decided that the Slytherins must really feel proud about their sarcasm.  
  
"But I believe our new classmate wishes to be a brave Gryff." I turned to glare at him, how dare he! Was it not allowed to be sad or upset that you weren't with your friends? That you'd probably be considered a snob, like you were before you met them!  
  
"Malfoy-san , just because I wish I was with my friends does not mean I wish I was some 'brave Gryff' as you put it. And I will not allow you to insult my friends behind their back because then they have no way to protect themselves!" The two people stared at me before looking away.  
  
"You really should be a Gryffindor not a Slytherin." It was Blaise this time, "I mean those two can't be 'that' special," Well they are, I looked away.  
  
"I would sacrifice myself for my friends." I heard a low chuckle.  
  
"Then you are idiot." I once again found myself glaring daggers into Malfoy's head.  
  
"Draccccooo!!" I winced at the high pitched screech. I watched as a brunette came waltzing up to where we were and seated herself beside Malfoy. Poor Malfoy was forced to listen to the high pitched girl for the rest of the meal. Turning back to my dessert, that by the way had appeared mere seconds ago, I let out a yawn. I was tired.  
  
Looking back at Malfoy I once again pitied him, but I had a awning suspicion he wasn't even listening to what she was saying.  
  
"Pansy Parkinson, almost everyone even the Slytherins hate her. She's got a face the shape of a pugs and a wrong obsession with Draco. Her only friends Bulstrode but I doubt she even has a civil conversation with her, she's the female version of 'both' Crabbe and Goyle." I just nodded not really understanding the point but I knew one thing. I didn't like this Pansy person at all.  
  
~  
  
"serpens. I'd remember that word Ryuuzaki it's the only thing that'll let you in the common room," I nodded as I followed Blaise into the Slytherin Common room.  
  
When I was fully in I finally got to take a look around. It was dank and somewhat lonely looking but as I looked at the fire burning in the corner, I felt some warmth come from the room. It's stone walls and floors were cold to touch yet the coldness was refreshing. I followed Blaise and sat down into a nice chair and pulled out my wand.  
  
I was still mesmerized by how Presea had made it. I was also curious how she had received Selece's scale for the core but didn't mouth my curiosity.  
  
"That's a nice wand, did you get it from Ollivanders?" I looked up and stared at the girl beside me.  
  
"Iie, a friend made it." Blaise looked taken aback but a slowly a grin replaced her look of astonishment.  
  
"I'm assuming Iie means no. Custom made Wow!" I made a small sound to show I was listening to her.  
  
"I'm really tired , I think I go to sleep okay?" The other girl shrugged. Raising from my seat I headed towards the girls dorm, my eyes felt heavy and I needed to sleep. I walked into the girls dormitory and headed towards the bed with my trunk resting peacefully in front of it. Slowly opening the trunk I pulled out the blue silk that was my nightdress and slowly undressed. As I was finishing sliding the dress over my head I felt a major blast of being light headed. I tucked myself into the bed and as soon as I lay my head onto the pillow I was asleep.  
  
~  
  
I stood in the middle of a circle, half the circle was made of people I wasn't able to tell if they were men or women, wearing dark black robes, silver masks covered half their face. Each man or woman had their wand readied. They were surrounding a man who didn't wear a mask. The man had no really defining features except for one, his eyes were blood red and they seemed to be glowing, his black hair lay limp against his back. He looked maybe thirty but I could tell he was much wiser.  
  
The other half were not afraid to show who they were. I saw the boy who lived and his friends, Malfoy and Blaise, Dumbledore and the rest of the staff. Ascot was there too but for some reason my eyes searched for a pair of familiar blue. I had found the eyes I was looking for but his attention was securely on the opponents ahead of him. I saw my friends gowned in their armor, swords in place. Fuu without her glasses wearing a green skirt that was easy to move in with a green corset of some sort, and she also was adorned with green shoulder pads and resting atop her neck was a pendent in the form of the sun. I looked at Hikaru, who was gowned in almost the exact same outfit yet hers was the red that made the flames, ribbon dangling from her arms her sword in hand. I scanned the crowd for myself but the man with the red eyes spoke.  
  
"Just give me the seer , Dumbledore and no one will get hurt." I looked around, a seer? Isn't that someone who can foretell the future? I once again looked for the seer and myself.  
  
"I'm sorry Tom but I can't just give you Miss. Ryuuzaki," my name echoed in my head continuously, looking down I gasped at the dress I wore. Looking quickly into the crowd nobody seemed to notice I had moved. I looked back down. The dress I wore was white silk but the night sky created a blue hue to appear. The sleeves fell slightly off my shoulders. The material met in the center where a blue ornament was placed in the middle shown the most beautiful sapphire I've ever seen. The dress flew to my feet and I noticed I had no shoes on. Bringing my hand to my face I felt earrings fall from my earlobes, the earrings were like those dreamcatchers you buy. I felt a headdress as well but wasn't able to see any detail.  
  
"Very well, I'll make her come by destroying what's most valuable to her!" A maniacal smile formed on the mans lips, my head shot up and went directly to my friends, but his wand wasn't pointing at my friends , it was pointed at.  
  
"Clef!!"  
  
~  
  
I shot like a bullet from my resting position, my head felt dizzy. That nightmare was too real. Rising I headed towards the bathroom and took a nice long cold shower.  
  
'Umi meet us in the dungeons,' Clef's voice rang throughout my head as I dried my hair.  
  
"Clef--" I whispered his name. That dream had tossed my feelings for him around.  
  
'Very well, I'll make her come by destroying what's most valuable to her!'  
  
The man's words rang in my head over and over again. I didn't like 'like' Clef did I? We were just friends right? I walked out of the bathroom thinking these questions over, catching a glance at the clock I choked.  
  
"4 am!! Ohh this better be important Clef, how can I love a early riser!! How!" Grabbing my jewel glove from my trunk just in case I ran down the stairs down into the common room. I reached my hand to pull the stone door open.  
  
"And where may I ask are you going at such a early time?" A voice drawled from behind a chair.  
  
"Why should it matter to you Malfoy-san?" I yelled over my shoulder before exiting, barely hearing his reply.  
  
"It doesn't."  
  
~  
  
Author Notes: Don't hate me, I have a reason for putting Umi in Slytherin. Hee hee what does Clef want with the girls? What does Umi's dream mean?  
  
Stay tuned to find out!!
