Summon: I'm hooked up with this fic.
T-chan: Ya sure got that right.
Umi: Ummm people, can we please continue?
Ascot: Yeah?
T-chan: I thought he was dead.
Summon: Playing.
Fuu kept silent but finally answered, "I'm sorry Ferio. I cannot tell you what's going on right now. I'm sorry I cannot tell you any reasons to support it. It's not time." Umi suddenly gave the letter to Fuu. "You can keep this," she said. Fuu looked at Umi. "It's yours. Not mine, Umi," said Fuu trying to hand back the note, "Ascot wanted you to have it." Umi shook her head and replied, "You're the woman he loves, Fuu, not me." At that, Umi pointed at the ring Fuu was wearing. "You see? It symbolizes his love for you," added Ferio dejected. Standing up and placing the broth on the table, he told them, "I'm off. Kenae wanted to meet me." He walked out the door leaving Umi and Fuu alone in the room.
"Who's Kenae?" asked Umi as she gave Fuu some soup. "Ferio's bride-to-be," answered the blonde girl plainly. Umi nearly dropped the soup from what she heard and asked, "Bride-to-be?! Aren't you going to do anything about it?!" Fuu shook her head. "Ferio lies to me and I think he's glad to be with her. Let's just leave them alone, okay?" mumbled Fuu and she took another sip of the soup. Umi stared at her friend. 'Poor Fuu,' she thought, 'but she does have Ascot. Well, had is more like it.'
Fuu's POV
'Should I tell her now?' I thought to myself as Umi gave me another spoonful of the warm broth. She is such a great friend. Caring, kind, friendly, helpful and not to say very attractive. No wonder Ascot fell in love with her. I looked at the letter lying on top of my sheets. 'Should I take it?' I asked myself, 'Ascot wanted Umi to have the letter but she doesn't want it.' Umi kept smiling at me. "Is there something wrong?" I asked her. She shook her head and responded, "No. It's just that the way Ascot talked about your love for each other in that letter makes me so… In love." I smiled at her. "Umi, there's something Ascot wants me to tell you. He said that—" A scream interrupted me. Umi got up and went outside my room, ordering me to stay. She took out her weapon and ran to the direction the scream was heard. I didn't listen to her. I stood up and got dressed. I took out my sword and followed Umi.
Umi's POV
"I hope Fuu isn't following me," I muttered to myself as I navigated through the castle hallway trying to find out the source of the cry. Fuu's my best-friend and so was Ascot. I just can't believe they're together and have their own baby. Who would've thought? I feel sorry for Fuu. Losing someone she loves. I know how it feels like. Especially since I lost my sisters at a young age.
FLASHBACK
"Umi!" yelled a voice to me. Total darkness surrounded me. I couldn't tell where the voice came from. "Come on Umi!" yelled a second voice. I retorted, "Where are you?!" Two blue-haired girls came out of the shadows. They were about five years older than me. "We've been looking for you Umi," said the first girl. The one next to her nodded and added, "Mom and Dad are so worried. Why did you go into this house Umi?" I didn't know what to do.
I was exploring an old, crumbling house when all of a sudden, the floor beneath my feet gave way. I fell down and must have passed out.
"Come on Umi," said the first girl, "We have to go home." As soon as she finished her sentence, the ceiling unexpectedly fell. The two girls screamed and the second one pushed me out of the way. I was enveloped in a cloud of debris and dust. Without warning, a block fell on me, taking away my consciousness.
END FLASHBACK
'Marina, Tashimi, I'm sorry,' I thought to myself as I remembered that day when they died. "Umi!" yelled a familiar voice behind me, cutting off my thoughts. I whisked around and saw Fuu. "I thought I told you to stay in your room!" I shouted as I ran to meet her. Fuu shook her head and reminded me, "We've been through so many things. How can I leave you all alone?" I smiled at her and we both continued sprinting to the source of the cry.
Normal Narration
Umi and Fuu ended up in Ascot's room. Hikaru was in the front door, face full of fear and shock. "What's wrong Hikaru?" asked Fuu. Hikaru turned to her and burst into tears. "Oh Fuu!" she sobbed, "I was walking and Ferio told me to give you a note. I continued walking and ended up here. I read the note and…" Hikaru couldn't hold back all her tears. She slumped on the floor and mourned on Umi's skirt. She handed Fuu a letter. It had teardrops on it and the handwriting showed that the person who wrote it must have been in deep sorrow as they wrote it. Fuu read the letter out loud:
Fuu,
Oh God Fuu. I'm sorry. I-I-I love you Fuu. I didn't mean to break your heart. I love you but I don't think it would work out. You live on Earth. I live here in Cefiro. Kenae was betrothed to me ever since we were young. She loved me although she knows I love you. I really do love you Fuu. I just didn't want to break your heart, but I guess I did. I'm sorry. Will you ever forgive me Fuu? I know that you won't but please try to. I know what I've done wrong and I blame no one but myself for all these stupid decisions I've made throughout my entire life. I sure that my biggest mistake was to let go of the one, dear woman I love. I know how Ascot feels now although it might not be about the same thing.
Maybe I did this out of jealousy. Jealous of you and Ascot. It seems as if he gave you more love than I can ever have for any woman. It's obvious that you love him and you just want me to die. I understand that since you told me so yourself. I don't blame you. I took your love for granted. I deserve all those things you told me. How I am such a liar and how I don't love you. You deserved better and that was Ascot.
There's only one solution to all this suffering I'm causing to me, Kenae, our friends, and most especially, you. I must go now. Don't go looking for me. I asked Clef to help me go. Good-bye forever, my one, true love.
Sorry for what I have done,
Ferio
Ferio signed the letter as neat as possible but still it showed that he was heavy-hearted and burdened with all the problems he was facing. Fuu noticed that he signed his name with blood. His blood. He had cut himself and used the red substance as ink. Fuu couldn't help herself but cry. Cry for Ferio and cry because she had lost two friends that day, both of them she holds very dear. Hikaru and Fuu both sobbed as they leaned themselves against the wall. Umi read the letter and shed a few tears. She came up to her friends and embraced them with the compassion and mercy that she had when she lost her sisters.
Summon: Finally. At least I found a way of adding that thing about Ferio.
A,U,T-chan: Yeah.

T-chan: Ya sure got that right.
