This story puts together my two fave things: Fuu and Ferio
romance, and a boyzone song heh heh It's an alternate reality
sort of thing set in the mediaeval time period. I've been wanting
to do a song fic with this song, but ya know it took me a while
to get up to it...
The song belongs to boyzone, or at least this version visit their
website at: http://www.boyzone.co.uk
Dedicated to Jamuna I know you would have liked the, story mixing
one of your fave songs with a romance story like this. So this
one's for you my dear friend, in your memory ne?
Fuu sighed as she ran a comb through her curly blonde hair. She
winced as the comb snagged slightly in her hair.
"Don't look like your life is about to come to a painful
end." Fuu's older sister Kuu said as she stepped into the
room.
Kuu's dress was a blue green one that swept the floor. It was
fancy and frilly with long sleeves.
"But it is Kuu, it is." Fuu wined.
Fuu threw her gold comb down on the dark wooden dresser table.
Kuu laughed and shook her brown locks. "Fuu, don't be so
childish! You're 14, it's time to get married and take on
responsibilities."
Fuu folded her arms over her chest. "I don't want to be give
away like a prized ring!" Fuu said angrily.
"But once you meet your prince you'll be happy. He can make
you happy and you can have anything you want. Don't make this
hard on you, or him." Kuu said.
"I don't want to meet any prince." Fuu said sternly.
"I don't want to marry someone just because my parents
picked him out. I want to marry for love. That love I've been
searching for." Fuu said passionately.
"Well that's all fine and dandy if you're living in a fairy
tale dear, but this isn't one."
Fuu turned away.
"You'll grow to love him. He has the most amazing eyes,
they're-"
Fuu covered her ears. "No, no, no! I don't want to hear a
word of it!" Fuu cried.
"Oh Fuu, you can't deny who you are! You're a princess and
you'll marry whomever our parents chose."
"Get out of my room and leave me be." Fuu said softly.
Kuu shrugged. "Enjoy your last half hour of being a
child."
And with that she turned and left.
Fuu stood up and looked at her profile in the mirror. She wore a
more simple dress, less frilly than her sisters. Hers was sheer
and silky with layers of light greens and white. It had split
sleeves, like many pieces of fabric, that only attached at the
shoulder, not at the wrists.
She stepped out onto a balcony and leaned against the railing.
She used a ringer to edge up her glasses and then she placed her
arms folded in front of her.
She was so busy looking across the court yard that she did not
see the golden eyes riveted to her. The owner of the eyes
couldn't help but stare.
The girl had a sophisticated yet cute look to her. She looked
over the yard as if she were looking for someone or something.
He just couldn't tear his eyes away. "Dear maiden, may I
have your name?" He called out.
Her dazzling green eyes fell down and fell into his eyes. They
were both lost for a moment as the looked into each other's eyes.
"Fuu," She said finally.
"Fuu," he repeated. "A beautiful name."
"And yours?" She replied with a smiled.
"Ferio," he said with a slight bow.
"And what might such a handsome prince be doing here tonight
in a court yard?" Fuu questioned. "You should be at the
ball, am I right?"
"Well, ya know, this whole ball thing is gonna bite big
time. Princes and Princesses meeting their betrothed while their
parents celebrate." Ferio said as he shook his head.
"A ball to celebrate the loss of freedom. We do not
celebrate the loss of a war. It is such an utterly disgusting
thing to celebrate." Fuu replied with a mixture of passion
anger, and sorrow.
"Tonight I meet my betrothed princess. I don't know a thing
about her, beyond the fact that in a month I will become her
husband. And that she could not be even half as beautiful as you
are." Ferio said.
Fuu sighed.
"Why don't you come down here miss Fuu, join me for a
walk," Ferio suggested.
"I-I can't." Fuu said sadly.
Ferio's heart sank, and she could see it in his eyes.
"Oh what the hay, this is my time, I should spend it however
I see fit." And with that she grabbed onto the trellis on
the side of her room and started to climb down.
It wasn't a long climb, nor was it long before she was almost
down.
Looking for you, lost in my emptiness
When the night makes me weary, cold and lonely
Looking for ecstasy to make me live again
Ferio put his hands on Fuu's hips and guided her down the rest of
the way. She turned around and came face to face with Ferio. Her
heart stopped and a small squeak escaped her lips.
The sliver light of the moon seemed to make her skin glow. And
her eyes... Her eyes seamed to penetrate something inside him.
They knocked down his supports and made his everything come
crashing down leaving only his heart.
She wanted nothing more than for him to hold her. He made her
feel safe and protected. And she felt like she could trust him
with her very life with ease.
He reached out and gently caressed the side of her face. She
placed her hand over his.
A supernatural feeling when you hold me
Every time you're here beside me,
There is thunder there is lighting
He couldn't wait any longer, he pressed his lips to hers, kissing
her ever so softly. She trembled at his touch, but dared not pull
away. Through the kiss she opened up her heat to him and felt his
heart do the same. Just as she had always wanted it to.
I feel the earth move and it's a different story
All the power, the heaven and the glory
When they finally parted lips Fuu blushed.
"So, how about that walk?"
Fuu nodded and fallowed him down the moonlit path.
"It's so romantic." Fuu cooed.
The two of them walked along silently.
"I wish you were the one I was supposed to marry," Fuu
said wishfully.
"I'd love to marry you. You seam smart yet fun, like you
enjoy life to the fullest. And you're *very* beautiful."
It's almost like a mystical experience
To feel I'm born again when you come near me
Tears filled Fuu's eyes. "I want to get to know you, to love
you, and I can not."
To reach the stars above me the minute that you love me
He used his thumbs to brush her tears away. "Aww now
sweetie, don' you cry." Ferio said soothingly.
"I knew this night would be awful. Only pain could come from
this night and it's killing me." Fuu said with a sniff.
Ferio smiled. "But we have this moment."
Oh it's like a mystical experience
It's almost like a mystical experience
To rise with every step as you come near me
Fuu smiled and nodded, causing her golden locks to bounce. Her
eyes then fell upon the lake. The lake was bathed in a silvery
glow. Her mouth opened in sheer aw. Ferio took this appurtenant
to kiss her sweet lips once more.
And when I'm closer to ya you kisses hallelujah
Take me to a mystical experience
"Run away with me," Feiro pleaded.
Fuu knew she couldn't say no. It would be an adventure, and surly
the time of her life.
"Yes!" She replied as she smiled widely.
Ferio pulled Fuu into a warm embrace before grabbing her hand and
pulling her back up the path. Fuu held her shirt off the ground
so she wouldn't get it too dirty, after all, it was one of her
favorite dresses.
"We'll get a little house," Ferio called over his
shoulder. "We'll disappear among the normal folk, just you
and I!"
Fuu giggled, "oh Ferio, it sounds lovely!"
Fuu was full of energy, important decisions being made spur of
the moment. Dreams of love and happiness guiding them.
Their feet pounded on the dirt trail almost the same pace as
their wild heart beats.
A hot blush crept up Fuu's face. She was running off wit ha guy
she didn't know... And yet she did know him. It felt as if she
had always known him.
suddenly someone caught her other wrist. She and Ferio came to a
stop.
"Kuu!" Ferio exclaimed.
"Mother is upset, the ball has started and you're missing.
And you're prince is here, or so I heard. Isn't that
exciting?"
Fuu glared at her older sister. "You have a sick idea of
exciting."
Kuu laughed and grabbed Fuu's arm.
Ferio bowed his head.
"I wouldn't worry you two, you'll see each other at the
ball." Kuu said with a smiled.
Kuu had to practically drag Fuu all the way back and into the
castle. Fuu's feet just didn't seam to want to go. Once inside
the castle, Fuu was sent to stand beside her mother's throne.
Ferio too was in the ball room, he was among the many people in
the room. His mother was telling him something, but he didn't
hear a word of it. he was too busy looking for his koi, Fuu.
Won't you please hurry back
Now that I need you so
To drive away all my sorry and to guide me
Bring the sound of your happiness into my loneliness
And exercise all the demons that live inside me
Life without you's like a stranger
Full of shadows, full of danger
People from all over filled the ball room. Fuu had only bitter
thoughts of the night now. That is until she spotted the green
haired, golden eyed prince, Ferio.
He stood scanning the crowd until his eyes locked with hers. A
smile spread across his face, one which she reflected.
"Ferio," she whispered.
Ferio moved towards her.
When you're with me the world is full of passion
And when you touch me, a magical reaction
Fuu stepped down the red carpet covered stairs.
IT's almost like a mystical experience
To feel I'm born again when you come near me
Ferio pulled her into his arms.
"Fuu, meet your betrothed, Prince Ferio." Fuu's mother
said with a smile.
Fuu's eyes widened. "Ferio?"
Her mother nodded.
Fuu and Ferio started at each other. Fuu traced the scar on
Ferio's cheek.
"I love you," Ferio said. "I want to marry you,
because I love you."
Tears filled Fuu's eyes. "I love you too. Unmei wa
Utsukushiku (fate is so beautiful)."
To reach the stars above me the minute that you love me
Oh it's like a mystical experience
To rise with every step as you come near me
Ferio pulled Fuu out onto the dance floor ready to dance the
night away. To them it felt as if they were the only ones that
existed, and lucky for them, and their parents, they were madly
in love.
"Kore wa koi(this is love)... I'm in love," Fuu said as
she giggled.
Ferio kissed her hand. She shook her head. She cupped his face in
her hands and kissed him on the lips.
And when I'm closer to ya your kisses hallelujah
Take me to a mystical experience
Fuu and Ferio lived happily ever after, they did run off
together, and disappear among the normal folk. They lived quit
contently as Kuu's husband ruled over the kingdom.
And so ends the tale *bows*
