Chapter Two

Chapter Two

Fuu dropped her books on desk and sat in her seat. She rubbed her eyes and blinked.

She didn't pay attention to the chatter of her female class mates. They were talking about boys. Amazing how some of Tokyo's smartest girls get boy obsessed as soon as they hit high school. And just their luck, boys were in their high school.

Fuu covered her mouth to shush a yawn. She felt like sleeping in class.

The teacher was late. Gave Fuu a few minutes to try and wake her mind up a bit.

The girl's giggles made Fuu want to turn around and tell them to be quiet. They were smart young ladies, they did not need to be getting all giddy of a bunch of boys.

One of her friends kept saying her name. "Fuu." She said again.

Fuu finally looked up from her note book where she had been carefully writing Ferio's name with her best pen.

She looked up to see one of the boys smiling down at her. "Fuu, I was wondering if you would like to get some ice cream with me after school."

She blinked. He was nice... But he wasn't Ferio. But Ferio wasn't here. She would never see him again. Why did she act like she had a boyfriend or something?

"Because I love him." She whispered so softly that no one could make out what she said.

"What?" The boy said looking worried.

"I am sorry but I can not." Fuu replied as she went back to writing Ferio's name.

The boy looked shocked. Dumbfounded. Fuu had turned him down.

"Why not? Do you have a boyfriend?" The guy probed.

Fuu looked up. "I-" she stared.

But just then their teacher walked into the room and everyone hurried to their seats.

Fuu sighed with relief. Maybe, just maybe, there would come a day when she could say yes. But now was not the time. She still hoped she would see Ferio again.

She tried her best to listen. And she actually felt quiet certain that she took down the correct information. She also spent time pondering her feelings. And hoping maybe there would come a day when she and Ferio would be together forever.

Once school was over for the day, Fuu was ready for a nap. But before she left she looked out the window at Tokyo towers. It was strange being so close to it.

"I want Ferio and I to be together again some day", she whispered to no one.

But those words were true, and from deep within her heart and soul. She poured everything into those words.

As she went to leave the school building she ran into the boy from before.

"Hey, I'm Tomoe." He said.

Fuu held out a hand to shake his, but he turned her down.

"Why did you embarrass me in front of everyone?" He said.

Fuu blinked. "I am sorry." She said before walking past him.

She wasn't in the mood. She felt tired, and lonely... And here Tomoe was trying to be her friend. But she kept walking. She didn't feel like talking to anyone besides Ferio.

When Fuu got home she found an police car at her house.

She covered her mouth with her free hand. A police officer walked over to her.

"Are you Miss Fuu Hououji?" He asked.

Fuu nodded quickly.

"You mother has fallen terrible ill with the flu, along with your father and sister Kuu."

"And Suu-chan, what about her?" Fuu said very worried.

"She for some reason, is fine." The officer replied.

Fuu let out a sigh. At least Suu was fine, getting the Flu at such a young age is torture to both the baby, and the people living with it.

"Do you have any relatives?"

Fuu shook her head. "No."

"I suppose then, if you're alright, we will leave her with you."

Fuu gulped. She couldn't refuse. Suu was her own flesh and blood.

"Um yes I can take care of her." Fuu said trying to convince herself of it.

As Fuu spoke with the police officer, it started to rain. There was a bright flash of golden light. Fuu blinked. There was no thunder.

Very odd..... She thought to herself.
