Ferio sat on the couch looking at the orb, but after some time he put it back in his pocket and leaned back looking at the ceiling. He didn't know when but somehow he had fallen asleep and the sound of the doorbell woke him up. He stood up quickly and headed for the front door grabbing the note Fuu left on his way. When he opened it there stood a smiling Hikaru and a serious-looking Lantis.
"Hey, Ferio. We made it. You ready to go?" Said Hikaru.
"Yeah." Hikaru looked at the clothes he was wearing.
"Have to say those clothes look good on you." Then she looked at his feet and noticed that he was wearing his boots from his prince outfit. "Hmm but those boots don't really go with them."
"Yeah I know, but it's all I have. There was no footwear in the bag with the clothes."
"Guess it can't be helped. Well, let's get going."
"Oh, can you tell me what this paper says?" Ferio handed it to Hikaru. She took it and looked it over.
"It just says -I'm going into work early, here's some breakfast hope you like it. See you when I get home, Fuu-"
"Oh heh." He rubbed the back of his head. Hikaru handed the paper back to Ferio and he folded it then put it in his pocket.
"Oh by the way I was able to get a hold of Fuu and let her know that you're hanging out with us. She told us to have fun." Said Hikaru smiling.
"That's good." Ferio smiled back.
"Alright let's go, there's a certain food I want you two to try," Hikaru said while grabbing Ferio's arm and pulling him through the doorway. Hikaru had a key for Fuu's apartment so she locked up behind them and off to the city they went. They walked around Tokyo a bit and Ferio was mesmerized by everything. He asked Hikaru so many questions and she happily answered them. Hikaru didn't want to show him everything though so he and Fuu could share some of it together. Then she stopped them in front of a raman shop.
"I know you two are just going to LOVE this!" Hikaru said excitedly. Ferio and Lantis looked to each other then Hikaru grabbed Lantis's arm and dragged him inside with Ferio following behind them. Hikaru decided to order for them seeing as they couldn't read the menu and didn't know what any of the foods were. She ended up buying them all pork raman. Ferio had a bit of trouble with using the chopsticks but Hikaru helped him out and he was able to use them enough to eat. Hikaru looked at them eagerly waiting to see what they thought of the raman.
"Wow, Hikaru you weren't kidding this food is amazing." Said Ferio as he went to eat more. Hikaru smiled big. Then she looked at Lantis. He gave Hikaru a gentle smile.
"Yes it's very good," said Lantis.
"Yay! I knew you guys would love it." Hikaru jumped a little in her seat and pecked Lantis on the cheek. Ferio smiled at them and he swore he saw a little pink on Lantis's cheeks but he wasn't sure. Seeing them made him happy but also just a bit sad.
'I hope Fuu wants to talk. I really miss her, even more than when I was in Cephiro' Ferio looked into his raman and swirled it around with his chopsticks. Hikaru's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"So Ferio you having a good time?" Hikaru asked. Ferio looked up at her and smiled.
"Yeah, thanks for taking me out." He smiled at her once more.
"Oh, I'm glad. Though I'm sure you would rather be spending time with Fuu. She does tend to work a lot."
"That's okay, I'm sure we'll have time to spend together later."
"I'm sure your right. I mean she does have to take you out to get clothes." Hikaru giggled.
"Heh yeah." Ferio didn't want to worry Hikaru about what was going on between Fuu and him so he was glad she didn't figure out he was a little down. They all talked and finished their raman. They did a couple more things in the city then took Ferio back to Fuu's place. Hikaru needed to get back to the dojo so she told Ferio to tell Fuu, hello and she and Lantis waved goodbye. Hikaru unlocked the door before she left. Ferio grabbed the doorknob and took a deep breath in then let it out. He opened the door and went in. He shut the door then looked around the room seeing if Fuu was around but he didn't see her anywhere. He thought maybe she hadn't got back yet but then he noticed her jacket and purse hanging up. Ferio went to her bedroom door and knocked lightly. There was no answer so he decided to say something.
"Hey, Fuu just want to let you know I made it back." Ferio waited for a few moments then finally Fuu opened the door but only a crack.
"Welcome back. Sorry but I'm really tired from work so I'm going to go to bed."
"Oh um okay. Well, goodnight then."
"Goodnight." Fuu gave him a small smile, then shut the door. Ferio lowered his head, then headed to his room.
