Disclaimer: I do not own Fuu, Ferio, or any other Magic Knight Rayearth characters. Clamp does, and I greatly appreciate their series. I do own the format of this story, if not the story itself.
Note: I have not seen the entire Rayearth series. I hope to rectify that as soon as possible, but in the meantime you will have to make allowances both for poetic license and faulty memory. This was written because I just really love Fuu/Ferio, but I don't know them well enough yet to write an original story. Thus I am encapsulating their meeting, conflict, and emotions in poetry; anyway, that's the goal. I hope you enjoy it! BTW, the rhythm sounds better if you read it aloud. Just a thought.
He stood relaxed against the tree, ignoring their earnest debate
Unconcerned by her negative words affecting his imminent fate
He closed his amber eyes and leaned upon his giant sword
Awaiting the determination from the three young girls' discord
"I don't think he can be trusted," Fuu said with firm conviction.
"We have all we need to help ourselves, without this new addition.
I do not want to worry about whether he's true or not.
It only makes sense to do our best without perplexing the plot.
Miss Hikaru, I cannot stress enough the danger to our plans
By this uncouth, unsightly swordsman. Hm. Sans the man.
He may seem wise and forest-smart, but we can't take the chance."
She turned her head annoyed from his cocky, sneering stance.
Umi and Hikaru looked in shock at their friend's unusual speech.
Kind and gentle beyond words, what caused this sudden breach?
Could it be the green-haired forester was not all that he seemed?
' You're just overprotective, Fuu', optimistic Hikaru deemed.
"We need him," Umi whined high-pitched, "We can't fight these monsters alone.
And the more he helps the sooner we're done; the sooner I can go home."
"Don't worry so much, it'll be alright," Hikaru said in neon tones
Defeated by the majority, Fuu stifled her inner groans.
Ever watchful of their new companion along their journey's path
Observing Ferio closely caused a strange aftermath
Though repelled by his discourteous ways Fuu's logic hung suspended
And ever so slowly the distrustful knight the forester befriended.
Chased by his comments and pursued by his jeers
She tried to ignore his smirks and his leers (and secretly, her tears)
His unending criticism, his flickering valour,
The sudden smiles that would make her stammer
His irking remarks and his lurking traits
And his insensitive comments about her weight
He seemed to have found a weakness within.
But it was not just in her, to his chagrin
