Fuu and Ferio made it to Fuu's apartment without much trouble. Once they were inside Fuu took her jacket from Ferio and put it away, then sat her bag on her table.
"I'm glad we made it here without anyone noticing your clothing." Fuu sighed. Ferio was looking around. All this was so new to him.
"Nice place." Part of him wanted to go around and look at all the things in the room.
"Thanks. It's nothing like what they have in Cephiro I'm sure." She smiled. Ferio turned to Fuu and went towards her and pulled her into his embrace. Fuu blushed at his sudden action.
"Ferio." She put her arms around him and hugged him tightly. They stood there for a few moments then Fuu remembered she wanted to find out how he got to her world. Fuu pulled away from him a little faster than she intended.
"Fuu what's wrong?"
"You still need to tell me how you were able to get here?" Just as Ferio was about to speak Fuu's house phone rang.
"Let me get that." Fuu moved away from Ferio. Ferio wondered where that ringing sound was coming from. Fuu picked up the phone.
"Hello, Hououji residence,"
"Hello, Fuu it's Hikaru."
"Oh, Ms. Hikaru. I'm surprised you didn't call my cell phone."
"I did, but I didn't get an answer so I called your house phone. Anyways I have something I need to tell you." Fuu looked at Ferio who was standing next to her looking at the phone with a curious look on his face.
'I need to tell you something too.' She thought while looking at Ferio.
"Go ahead I'm listening."
"Alright. I don't know if you'll believe me, but Lantis is here in Tokyo." Fuu's eyes went wide. She couldn't believe that Ferio wasn't the only one that had come to Tokyo. She wondered if there was anyone else. It went silent so Hikaru decided to continue speaking.
"I found him at the park standing under a tree." Fuu pulled herself out of her thoughts.
"Did he explain how he got here?"
"Yeah, but I thought I should tell you that Ferio is here as well. Lantis said they were both supposed to be transported to the same spot, but when Lantis got here Ferio was nowhere in sight."
"Well, you don't have to worry Ferio's safe and sound with me." Ferio looked at Fuu with an eyebrow up at the mention of his name.
"Oh good. I'm so glad to hear that."
"Maybe you two should head over here so we can all talk about this."
"That sounds like a good idea. We will head right over. Oh and maybe you should call Umi and let her know."
"Yes, I'll give her a call as soon as I get off the phone with you."
"See you soon then."
"Bye." Fuu hung the phone up, but just as she did it rang again.
"Hello, Hououji residence."
"FUU HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS!" Umi yelled into the phone so loud that Fuu had to hold it away from her ear. After Umi was done she brought the phone back to her ear.
"No, I haven't. I Just got home not that long ago."
"Well turn on your TV and watch it. There's something you have to see."
"Okay." Fuu went over to her TV and turned it on. It was already on the news channel. To Fuu's surprise, there was Ferio on the TV jumping and dodging cars. Fuu's eyes went wide again. Ferio came up next to her and poked at the weird device showing him. Ferio wanted to ask Fuu how it showed him when this had already happened but thought it wasn't a good time.
"Oh no."
"The video doesn't show his face, but I know him anywhere. That's Ferio." Fuu put a hand on her forehead. Why didn't she think that someone would have a camera and take a video of what happened?
"I don't know how the hell he got here, but we need to go look for him right away." Fuu took her hand away from her forehead and sighed.
"No need to do that, he's with me."
"WHAT! He's been with you this whole time and you didn't tell me."
"Actually I was just about to call you and let you know when you called. I've only been home for about ten minutes and I had no idea that someone recorded Ferio." Umi went silent for a few moments, then soon spoke again.
"Ohhh it all makes sense now. Then that's the reason your home even though you should still be at work and why in the video Ferio ran off into the alley. I was thinking the area looked really familiar."
"Yes, your right."
"Well, how the hell did this happen?"
"Come over to my apartment and will all talk about it. Also, Hikaru and Lantis are on their way."
"WHAT! LANTIS IS HERE TOO!" once again Fuu had to pull the phone away from her ear. After Umi was done she brought it back to her ear.
"Yes Umi and from what I can tell sounds like Lantis and Ferio are the only ones. Just come over and it will all be figured out."
"Fine. I'll be there in a few." Umi hung up without a goodbye. Fuu sighed and hung up the phone. She looked back to the TV as the newscaster was talking. Fuu really hoped that no one would be able to recognize Ferio. Though she knew she would have to take him out to get some clothes at some point. Fuu turned off the TV.
"What a day this turned out to be." She said out loud quietly. She then looked over to Ferio who was looking at the TV trying to figure it out as best as he could. Fuu had to laugh at how cute he was being, but soon blushed. Everything had happened so fast that she didn't have much time to really think everything through. Ferio was here in her world. The moment she dreamed about had finally come true, but for some reason, she was feeling nervous and unsure of what to do. Ferio put a hand on her shoulder and that shook her out of her thoughts.
"Fuu you alright? you're being very quiet." Fuu quickly put on a smile as to not worry Ferio.
"Yes, I'm just fine. Hikaru, Umi, and Lantis are coming over so we can talk about all this. I think I'll go make some tea for everyone." Fuu moved away from Ferio making his hand fall from her shoulder. Ferio just followed her. When Fuu got to the kitchen she started taking things out to make tea. Ferio came up behind her.
"Please Ferio have a seat this won't take too long." Ferio nodded then sat in a chair at the table.
"So I take it Lantis was found?"
"Yeah, Hikaru found him at the park standing under a tree."
"Lucky him. At least he wasn't attacked by metal monsters." Fuu couldn't help but laugh at Ferio's description of "Cars".
"Hey, it's not funny. I could have been killed." Ferio said with a pout.
"I'm sorry. It's just they aren't metal monsters, they are called cars. That's one of the ways we get around."
"So that's why people were riding around in them." Fuu smiled at him then went back to what she was doing. She was going to have to teach Ferio a lot of things about her world. Just as Fuu was finished making the tea there was a knock at her door. Fuu went to get it and when she opened the door Umi was on the other side.
"Hello, Ms. Umi."
"So where is He?"
"Ferio's in the kitchen, sitting at the table. Hikaru and Lantis haven't gotten here yet." Just as Fuu had said that Hikaru and Lantis showed up behind Umi.
"We're here," Hikaru said in a happy voice.
"Come in everyone and make yourself's at home," Fuu said moving out of the way and everyone came in, then she shut the door behind them.
"Let's all go to the kitchen. I have tea and snacks for everyone." Everyone nodded and headed for the kitchen then sat at the table.
"Hey everyone." Ferio said. Umi sat a bag in front of Ferio.
"Here are some clothes for you to change into." Umi sat back in her chair and crossed her arms over her chest. "Alright, you two start talking." Ferio took the bag and set it on the floor beside his chair. Both Lantis and Ferio Nodded and began talking. They talked about how things were going on in Cephiro and of course about the portal that clef created. Also how they were going to be in their world for a month. Ferio left out the part about the council wanting him to marry and the deal he made. He wanted to talk to Fuu about it before the other two knew. Especially Umi.
"So you two are stuck here for a month? Wow." Said Umi.
"I know, isn't it great!" Hikaru hugged Lantis' arm and he smiled down at her. Fuu laughed at how cute Hikaru was being. Umi sighed.
"So what are we going to do with them? I'm not sure your brothers will be too thrilled about Lantis staying at your place. Even if two of them don't live at home anymore." Said Umi.
"I'm sure my big brother won't mind. I'll just tell him he's a friend from out of town and needs a place to stay for a month." Umi scowled.
"Yeah that's all well and good Hikaru, but what's going to happen when your brother finds out your more than friends? I don't think he's going to be so happy." Hikaru blushed and looked down at the table.
"Guess I'll just have to take that chance." Said Hikaru. Umi knew there was no way to change Hikaru's mind, so she looked over to Fuu.
"So I take it Ferio's going to stay here with you then?"
"Yes of course. I have an extra room so it's really not a problem." Umi nodded.
"I gave him a pair of omi's clothes, but I'll need them back at some point."
"Don't worry I'll go ahead and take him clothes shopping then give you back omi's clothes as soon as possible."
"Just try to keep him out of traffic." Umi laughed.
"I don't think you have to worry about that happening again." Fuu laughed and Ferio gave them both a confused look.
"Let's also hope nobody recognizes him. The last thing we need is him ending up in jail," said Umi. Umi stood up from her seat. "Will since everything seems to be settled I'm going to get going," said Umi. Everyone else stood up as well.
"Thanks for coming over. I guess now all we need to do is wait a month and just take things one day at a time." Said Fuu. Fuu walked everyone to the door with Ferio behind her.
"I'll call you later Fuu." Said Hikaru with a smile.
"Try to stay out of trouble Ferio." Said, Lantis.
"Stay out of trouble yourself." Ferio said in a joking manner. Hikaru and Lantis left out the door first, followed by Umi. Ferio put a hand on her shoulder before she was completely out the door.
"Umi, Clef wanted me to tell you, hello and he hopes you're doing well." Ferio made up the last part but thought it couldn't hurt. Umi smiled warmly.
"When you see him again tell him that I'm doing very good and I hope the same for him." Ferio nodded and took his hand from Umi's shoulder. "See you two later."
"Goodbye Umi." Said Fuu as she shut the door. Fuu sighed. She looked at Ferio and he looked back at her. 'I have a feeling it's going to be an interesting month.' She thought to herself before smiling at Ferio.
