Chapter Seven

I'll Be There

After hurriedly telling their close friends in Cephiro, Fuu and Ferio returned home. Ferio was happy to be home where he could spend his time with the one he loved....

____________________________________

A week later Fuu and Ferio had their own apartment.

Fuu stood in the pretty much empty apartment. There were a few boxes, a bed, and already no space!

"It's not much," Ferio said as he rapped his arms around her waist.

"But it's all ours." Fuu finished.

Ferio nuzzled her. "And we're all *alone*."

Fuu giggled.

Here we are, just the two of us

Far away from the crazy rush

Fuu reached behind her and ran her hand down his cheek.

"I'm sorry Ferio," Fuu said suddenly.

Ferio let go and turned her around so he could face her. "Why?"

"I'm sorry I doubted you for even a second. I thought that perhaps you had really known Acura and that she really was having your child." Fuu said as she bowed her head.

"That wasn't your fault, and you have nothing to be sorry for now, ya hear?" Ferio said as he tilted her chine up.

Fuu smiled but her eyes still glistened with un-shed tears.

The sound of thunder interrupted Fuu's next thought. Soon pouring rain was hitting their few windows, sounding almost like pebbles on glass.

And while the storm is raging

It's safe and warm inside

Ferio smiled as he watched her watching the rain. "Fuu, everything you do leaves me in awe."

Fuu laughed. "Oh Ferio, you always have the right words."

Ferio smiled, "sometimes I don't have any more words, so I have to do this..."

He grabbed her and kissed her softly yet passionately.

Close the door and forget about time

Ease the river runnin' through your mind

Another crack of thunder echoed, but neither of them paid it any attention. When Fuu finally broke the kiss the lights in the apartment were flickering.

Fuu and Ferio looked up at the light, suddenly it went out leaving them both in the dark. Ferio managed to find Fuu's lips.

"I would prefer not standing in the middle of a dark room." Fuu mumbled.

Ferio laughed and took a step backwards. He had tripped and fell onto their bed. He grabbed her hand and pulled her down beside him.

Lay your body next to me

Let your secrets all be mine

"Ferio, can I tell you a secret?" Fuu asked.

He kissed her hand. "Hmm yes Fuu?"

"I've been dreaming about this since I first met you..." Fuu replied.

Ferio grinned, "me too... Always knew there'd come a day when you were mine."

Take my hand and believe me

That love will guide us through

"Thank you for believing in me." Ferio said softly as he pulled her close.

She sighed. "I did it because it was the only thing I knew *to* do."

Ferio ran his fingers through her golden hair. She leaned in as he stroked her.

"I love you," Ferio whispered.

"Every time you speak, it's like a wind's song." Fuu replied softly.

Anytime that you need me

Girl I'll be there for you

He kissed her forehead. "I'll always be there for you. Even if I can't always be holding you, or talking to you. Know that I'm there for you in my heart and in yours."

Fuu was inches from his face. "I know that."

Ferio laughed. "I know..."

While the world is going crazy

While the sky is falling down

"But I mean every word of it Fuu-chan. Every single word." Ferio said before kissing her.

Fuu rapped her arms around him and buried her face in his chest.

One thing you can depend on

I will always be around

Though the storm raged on, Fuu and Ferio felt safer than ever in each other's arms.

"The safest place I know is in your arms." Ferio whispered to Fuu.

Fuu looked up at him. "Exactly what I was thinking."

Ferio laughed and kissed her lightly.

While the rain outside is pouring

I will make the sun shine through

While the world is going crazy

You can count on me

Cause I'll be loving you

Cause I'll be loving you

Fuu's fingers entwined with Ferio. Ferio ran a thumb over the back of Fuu's hand while she traced the scar on his cheek with her free finger.

"You know Ferio-chan, I could spend forever here with you, forever in this moment." Fuu whispered.

"They why don't we?" Ferio replied playfully.

"Forever lost in ourselves, in our love." Fuu whispered.

"Sounds like heaven to me." Ferio replied.

I turned on the news today

But I don't wanna hear a word they say

Outside the world is breakin' down

But we don't have a clue

"But sooner it will no longer be just you and I. Soon it will be the three of us." Fuu said with a grin.

Ferio nodded. "You're right!"

"Then it can be the three of us living in our own little world ne koi?"

"Mmm exactly koi..." Ferio said before planting another kiss on her sweet lips.

Like a scream in an empty room

It's gettin harder just to find the truth

Let's forget it 'till the night is through

It's all about me and you

Fuu sat up and grinned. "But for now, it is just you and I."

Ferio wiggled his eye brows. "Yes, just you and alone... In bed... In the dark..."

We can make our own heaven

It's not so hard to find

Cause girl I will protect you

Until the end of time

"It's heaven every time I look into your eyes Fuu-chan. An absolute heaven. And every time you skin brushes mine... It's undescribable, that's what it is." Ferio said as he slowly lay Fuu down on the bed.

"I see beyond heaven in your eyes." Fuu replied.

"And when I touch you?"

She kissed him. "There are no words." She said softly.

It doesn't really matter

If you win, lose or draw

I will be your shelter

I will catch you when you fall

All you do is just trust in me

I will keep you satisfied

Close your eyes and enjoy the ride

"You're the most beautiful woman I know."

"You say that often." Fuu pointed out.

"Does it have any less of an effect on you?" Ferio countered.

Fuu grinned. "No. It still makes my heart skip a beat every time you say it."

"Ya think if I said it fast enough you'd have some sort of a heart attack?" Ferio joked.

She laughed and pinched his nose. "You're a stinker!"

He laughed and started tickling her.

"Oh!" She yelped. "So you want to play dirty huh."

She tickled him back but he won as she couldn't take it any longer and laughed like a child.

While the world is going crazy

(crazy)

While the sky is falling down

(falling down)

One thing you can depend on

I will always be around

(I'll be right there for ya baby)

While the rain outside is pouring

(pouring down)

I will make the sun shine through

"Ok, enough tickling." Ferio said as he kissed her neck. "We're done tickling."

Just then the lights came back on.

"Gah! Just when I wanted the lights *off*." Ferio grumbled.

Fuu laughed. "Well then dearest, why don't you turn them off again?"

Ferio smiled. "That would be a good idea..."

He turned off the light and climbed back in bed with his wife; Fuu.

While the world is going crazy

You can count on me

(you can count on me girl)

Cause I'll be loving you

(cause I'll be loving you)

(cause I'll be loving you)

I'll be loving you

All you do is call

I will catch you if you fall...
