Forever With You
Chapter One
It had been an
entire year since the Magic Knights had returned to their homes
in Tokyo after their second visit. They were still friends but
now that they were in high school they rarely saw each other.
"Fuu dear, can you fill the bottle again?" Mrs. Hououji
asked sweetly.
Fuu nodded wearily and trudged to the kitchen with bottle in
hand. She groaned softly as her new baby sister, Suu, let out
another ear piercing cry.
Fuu rinsed out the baby bottle without even looking at what she
was doing. It had become so much of a routine anymore that it
took very little thought. Her elder sister Kuu walked into the
room.
"Would you please hand me the formula Kuu?" Fuu asked
as she dried her hands on a dish towel.
Kuu went into the refrigerator and got out the orange juice. Fuu
blinked with puzzlement.
"Kuu, the formula please." Fuu said impatiently, unlike
her.
"Fuu-chan!" Her mother called. "where's that
bottle?"
Fuu took a deep breathe. And then another one. "Just a
moment mother!"
She then stomped past Kuu and grabbed the formula. And then she
stomped past her sister again.
She finished preparing the bottle. As she went past Kuu, Kuu
removed ear plugs from her ears.
"How was your day Fuu-chan?" Kuu said with a bright
smile.
Fuu gritted her teeth as she ignored her sister and walked right
past her.
Kuu blinked wondering what she had done wrong.
"I apologize for taking as long as I did." Fuu said as
she handed the bottle to her mother.
"It's ok," her mother replied with a sigh.
Fuu took a glance at the screaming baby. She was adorable, when
she wasn't screaming her lungs out. She had curly blonde hair,
and brown eyes.
Fuu picked up her note books from off the coffee table.
"You should go to bed Fuu dearest. You have a Chemistry
lecture tomorrow. And you want to be as rested as you can."
Said Mrs. Hououji.
Fuu sighed. "As if Dear Suu will allow anyone in the house a
decent nights sleep."
Her mother smiled. "She's only a baby. She will get better
as time goes by."
"Yes, all things get better with time." Kuu said as she
entered the room with her ear plugs in her hand.
'Not all things.... I do not miss Ferio any less. I thought
time would heal my wound. But it did not. Though I have stopped
crying....'
"Fuu-chan," Kuu said as she tapped her on the shoulder.
"Yes Kuu?" Fuu replied.
"Good luck. Mr. Merony is a VERY boring
lecturer." Kuu said.
Little Suu let out a loud cry. Fuu winced while Kuu put her ear
plugs back in.
Fuu headed to her room. She dressed quickly as she worried about
the lecture the next day. High school was hard, even for her.
She laid down in her bed and took another glance over at her
school books. They would be there in the morning. And she had
done all her home work. She was a prepared for this lecture as
she could be. She just hoped she would take the right notes. It's
no good if you don't get the point that the teacher is trying to
get across.
She sighed. Maybe she should think of something less nerve
racking... Ferio was the first thing that came to mind.
"Oh Ferio. Are you thinking of me? I'd like to believe you
are. Maybe part of your nightly routine is to think of me. Maybe.
Maybe after a long day you remember me and smile." Fuu
whispered.
She then leaned over and turned off her bed room light. She
closed her eyes thinking of Ferio. She sifted though memories of
him. Every memory was like a treasure to her.
Her peace didn't last long. Suu soon started wailing once more.
And her cries lasted long into the night. Fuu and the rest of the
family finally were able to sleep around three in the morning.
Fuu made a mental note to buy herself some ear plugs.
