Author's Notes: I am Houoji, the alter ego of Lizziechan. Like Nova is the dark side of the perky Hikaru, I am the more serious side of Lizziechan. My fics will be on animes other than CCS, like Magic Knight Rayearth, Inuyasha, and Juline, which, next to CCS, are my fave mangas. This fic is a Fuu and Ferio fic, aren't they cute? Yeah, well, I'm following the manga series, so if anyone who watches the anime sees something different, it's because I'm following the manga's story, not the anime's. Well, read and review, and thanks.
Chapter 1: Thrill of the Hunt
Fuu Houoji pulled back the string of her bow, then quickly released. A wounded roar, and she knew that the arrow had found its mark. A monster appeared from behind a thick clove of trees, her arrow deeply buried in its shoulder. The monster looked like a large boar, with thick green fur and flickering red eyes. It grunted, stumbled forward, then fell feavily to the forest floor, its crimson blood staining Cephiro's earth.
Fuu lowered the bow. Exterminating the monsters running wild throughout the world of Cephiro had been more difficult than it looked. There had been many different monsters, and not all were weak to wind magic. That was hard, since wind magic was all Fuu knew. Her fellow Magic Knights, Umi and Hikaru, were in other areas of the world, as were any other warriors that could help her. So Fuu was on her own.
She loved to hunt. Fuu supposed it wasn't surprising, seeing as how she'd spent many days in the wilderness of Cephiro, relying on no one and nothing but her wits, weapons, and of course, magic. Something in her stomach fluttered whenever she saw a monster. It was a wonderful feeling.
She suddenly heard movement behind her and whirled around, an arrow already notched in her bow. Her emerald eyes narrowed as she searched for an intruder. Nothing but silence, and someone tackled her from behind.
Fuu let out a surprised cry and saw her bow fly through the air and land a few feet away from her. Someone grabbed her wrists as she struggled, and she felt her magic surge through her. Fuu uttered a spell.
"BINDING WINDS!!"
"WAHH!" said a familiar voice. Startled, Fuu sat up and came face to face with a pair of familiar amber eyes.
"F-Ferio…!" she gasped in surprise. The green-haired warrior smiled back at her.
"Hey, Fuu," he greeted. "Mind putting me down?"
"Oh!" Blushing, Fuu waved a hand, and the winds holding Ferio in the air dissipated.
"AGH!" Ferio yelled.
"Ohh!" Fuu gasped.
Ferio landed right on top of the Wind Knight. "Oof!" Ferio grunted. He opened his eyes and looked down at the golden-haired girl. "Uh, heh heh…hey, Fuu…"
Fuu blushed redder than before. For a few moments, the two lay there, and Fuu asked in a whisper, "Ferio, would you…would you please get off me?"
Ferio blinked. "Uh, huh?! OH! Yeah, sure!" He scrambled off the girl and sweatdropped, laughing sheepishly. "I'm sorry…" he muttered. He looked away, a gentle blush coming to his face.
Fuu smiled shyly, then grabbed her bow. "Uh…what are you doing here?" she asked. "I thought you'd be somewhere else, hunting for other monsters."
Ferio smiled. "Yeah, well, the Forest of Silence is all clear. Not a single monster, so I thought I'd come and help you out…" He looked away and blushed again.
Fuu giggled, and Ferio started. "What are you laughing about?" he asked suspiciously.
Fuu shook her head, still giggling. "N-nothing," she said.
Ferio's eyes narrowed. "Fuu…are you laughing at me?" he demanded.
"N-no…"
Ferio smirked. Then, without another warning, he pulled the girl into his arms. Fuu let out a surprised cry and looked up at him, blushing again.
Ferio smiled down at her. She was so cute when she blushed. "Who's blushing now?" he whispered.
"I--"
A loud crack startled the two, and they turned their heads. A tree fell, and Ferio unsheathed his blade, stepping in front of Fuu. "Stay back!" he ordered. "I know what this monster is…"
A loud squawk, and something huge rose in the sky, enveloping the forest in shadow. Fuu gasped at the magnitude of the creature. It looked like a giant eagle, with four wings and six eyes. Red dripped from its lips, and something fell in front of Ferio. Fuu gasped when she saw that it was a leg. A monster leg.
"That's disgusting…" she murmured, a hand covering her mouth.
"It regenerates unless its head is chopped off," Ferio muttered. "To do that, you've gotta get up on its back, and I don't want you doing that."
"Ferio, I'm a Magic Knight. I can do this."
"Yeah, but I don't want you to."
Fuu let out an exasperated sigh and touched Ferio's shoulder. "I don't want you being hurt," she whispered.
Ferio melted at her touch. "Fuu…"
A loud squawk, and the bird spied its prey. It dived.
Fuu saw the monster coming towards them at an amazing speed over Ferio's shoulder. "Ferio, look out!" she yelled, grabbing his shirt and pulling him down to the ground. The two toppled to the ground, the bird missing them by mere inches. Fuu scrambled to her feet, and summoned her bastard sword, a large blade taller than she was. Magic surged through her, and a new spell formed in her mind.
"BLADED WINDS!!!"
The winds came to her command, blowing the girl's hair into disarray. The monster shrieked in pain as the winds attacked it, tearing through flesh and bone. The monster faltered, flying close to the ground, and Fuu jumped.
She landed on the flying creature's back, and it shrieked in protest. Fuu rose to her feet with difficulty and plunged her sword through the back of the monster's neck. Grunting, she sliced off the monster's head.
The creature flapped its wings one last time, then crashed into a tree. Fuu yelled, thrown off, her sword coming back into her jewel-glove. "AHHHH!"
She shut her eyes. 'I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna--'
She heard a grunt and opened her eyes. Ferio looked down at her with a smile. "Not bad, Wind Knight," he said, placing her down to the floor. "Are you alright?" his smiled turned into one of concern. "Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine," Fuu said softly, brushing off feathers in her hair. She smiled up at him. "I'm not hurt--"
She stopped when she felt Ferio's lips against hers. Fuu closed her eyes, enjoying the kiss. Something in her stomach fluttered whenever Ferio kissed her.
It was a wonderful feeling.
