Hearts Reunited - Chapter 18: Cephiro no Ura

Purin-chan: ; _ ; I hope I spelled that right. You'll find out why that's the title if you read :B
(©SNIA) (That is really really annoying isn't it -_-; We all know it's copyrighted by her by now
so I'll stop that). So we'll finish the author's blab and get on to the fic e_E;.

Disclaimer: I'll give you three guesses, if you don't get it on the first try I'll send Nova to
haunt you forever ^^;. Wait that didn't make sense now did it? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group stared with open mouths at what they saw.
It looked exactly like the castle in Cephiro.
"But how can that be? We're not in Cephiro," Ferio asked.
They walked inside and checked the rooms.
"Exactly," Umi reported.
"Same here," Hikaru said.
"Just like the castle in Cephiro," Ascot added.
"I still don't get it," Ferio repeated.
"I might," Lantis said walking up. Everyone else looked over at him questioningly.
"This castle looks exactly like Cephiro's castle right?" Lantis questioned.
"And your point is?" Ferio asked.
"I'm supposing no one else noticed that the rest of the land here looks exactly like Cephiro."
Everyone else shook their heads.
"Do you remember that Cephiro had two sides to it?"
Again with the head shaking.
Lantis sweatdropped and cleared his throat. "Well it does. This just happens to be the reverse side
of Cephiro where Debonair was."
"I thought it disappeared along with Debonair though," Ferio replied, confused.
Lantis shook his head. "Apparently not."
"So can we go back to Cephiro?" Hikaru asked.
"No. Unfortunately it's a one-way route through the clouds, unless of course, you have the proof
of the pillar, which happens to be gone now," Lantis said.
"Well this is good enough isn't it? At least there aren't any vampires here or any other of those
things," Eagle commented.
"I guess so," Umi said sighing.
[Insert loud stomach growling here]
Everyone sweatdropped.
"When was the last time we ate..." Hikaru began.
"Five hours before the wedding," Umi answered.
"A year ago for me," Eagle said.
The sweatdrops grew larger.
"Can anyone cook here?" Umi finally screamed.

"Hikaru-san, could you hand me that salt shaker over there?" Fuu asked.
"This one?" Hikaru held up a bottle.
"No that's the pepper, the other one," Fuu said.
Hikaru handed her the salt.
"Is the food gonna be ready anytime soon Fuu-chan?" Ferio asked peeking through the doorway.
"Give me five more minutes," she replied.
Umi was busy making one of her homemade cakes.
"I didn't know you could make cakes Umi-chan!" Hikaru said peeking over her shoulder.
"Wanna help?" Umi asked, licking the icing off her forefinger.
"Ok!" Umi handed her the red icing. (squeeze tube thingie, whatever it's called)

Fuu brought the bowl of curry (Japanese) and another bowl of rice out to the table.
"Gomennasai, but this was the quickest thing I could make," Fuu said placing it in the center.
"Don't worry, it'll pass," Ferio said, pulling her down for a quick kiss.
Lantis coughed while Ascot covered his eyes, leaving a small gap inbetween his fingers to peek
through.
"Please don't do that when my Hika-chan isn't here," Lantis said.
"Hey hey! I can't help it!" Ferio replied, giving Fuu a wink. She blushed in response.
"I'll be back with the cake, and Umi-san and Hikaru-san," Fuu went back to the kitchen.

"Are you almost done?" Fuu asked walking towards the two. Umi threw her a tube of green frosting
without turning around.
"Yeah, almost," Umi said. Hikaru had reddish pink frosting on her fingers, which she was licking
off every five seconds. You could tell where she had messed up since Umi was going over the spots.

Umi came out with the cake a minute later.
"You boys had better have saved us some of that curry!" Umi said crossly. She set the cake down
beside the curry pot, which was still half full.

"What's this?" Ferio asked, poking at one of the purple frosting parts.
"Ask Hikaru. I just tried to fix it up," Umi muttered.
"Well I was trying to get it to look like one of the animals I saw earlier," Hikaru said.
"Umm...right..." Ferio ate it anyway.
"Your homemade cakes are really good Umi," Ascot complimented.
"Arigatou, Ascot," Umi smiled at him, causing his face to turn pink.
Lantis didn't touch his piece.
"Why don't you eat your cake Lanti-poo?" Hikaru asked him.
"Umm...well..." Lantis started.
Hikaru shoved the fork with cake on it into his mouth.
"It's good isn't it?" she asked him, smiling.
He took the fork out of his mouth and nodded slightly. Hikaru sat back down in her chair, satisfied.
"Lantis doesn't really like sweets," Eagle whispered in Hikaru's ear.
"Oh, I didn't know that," she whispered back.
On the other side of the table, Ferio whispered something into Fuu's ear which caused her face to
go a deep crimson shade. She covered her face with her hands as he laughed. Ferio dragged her out
of the room.
Everyone else stared after the two.
"Are they..." Eagle began.
"Going to..." Umi continued.
"Fuu-chan?" Hikaru wondered aloud.
Ascot choked on the icing. Lantis fell asleep in his chair, ignoring the entire situation.
They heard a door open and close a few seconds later, a bedroom door.
