Oh oh oh! This chapter has alot more of F+F just as people wanted ^^
*------------------------------------------------------------*
The month flew by, which meant two more months till the wedding. The dread in the pit of Umi's stomach grew and it made her nervous and unstable when the concept of Kaigan came up.
Hikaru had tried to wipe the marriage off her mind completely, and it had worked, until she saw Fuu talk about what she should buy for Valentine's day:
"So many things!" Fuu had laughed. "What can I buy him???!!"
Hikaru had looked around. "Fuu, the people of Cephiro don't know what Valentine's Day is."
"I know, but I feel I should get him something!" Hikaru had heard Fuu argue.
Hikaru stretched and looked out of the window. Rain, AGAIN.
"DAMN!!" She swore, when she saw Tatra, Tarta and Kaigan walking towards the castle. They all looked up, and Hikaru ducked out of sight before they could see her.
Hikaru fumbled with her plait for a second, then stood up and ran down the hallway to Umi's room. She sat on the floor painting a china doll's face.
"Umi!!"
Umi beamed and pointed to the doll. "Isn't she kawaii? I made her from scratch!"
"Dolls can wait, ok?" Hikaru said hurriedly. "She is here."
Umi groaned, and without a word, they ran down the hallway.
*------------------------------------------------------*
As they reached the front door, the three Chisetan's stood looking around.
"Umi Hikaru!" Tatra grinned to them, her long hair drenched from the rain.
They both gave a half smile, and looked at eachother.
"Aaaaa, er what brings you here may we ask?......" Umi questioned.
"Ohhh!! Kaigan has come to see her beloved Ferio of course!" Tarta giggled.
Hikaru forced a smile. "Uh huh.... we'll..... lead you to him...."
*-------------------------------------------------------*
Holding the valentines gift gently in her hand, Fuu walked down to Ferio's room. She thought he would like it, sweets, cakes, emeralds. Anything for him.
She giggled excitedly, imagining the look on his face when he unwrapped the gift.
Knocking on his door, Fuu waited for a minute or two, then creaked the door open a crack, peeking inside.
To her horror, that Kaigan girl, was sitting on his bed with him, talking. Sitting very close together.......
"Oh Ferio, I just can't wait, it'll be so fun!!" Kaigan was giggling to him.
"Yeah...." Came his reply, like a bored murmur. "It will."
"Oh dear!!" She looked to the window. "Its hailing outside."
Ferio sharply turned to the window. "Darn......"
"Whats wrong?" Kaigan asked, looking worried. "You don't seem yourself...."
"Just....... nothing, I'm just tired...." He answered.
"Perhaps this'll cheer you up." Kaigan bent over and..... kissed him. Fuu held in a gasp. It wasn't just a peck on the lips, it was a real kiss. One like the ones Ferio had given herself.
Dropping the gift to the floor, Fuu fled up the hall, tears streaming down her face.
*------------------------------------------------------*
"Hey Fuu, good afternoon." Umi heard Fuu enter, not looking up.
A sob came from Fuu, and Umi spun round. "Fuu?!"
"So, thats what you were hiding Umi, I knew it." Fuu cried angrily, grabbing Umi by the shoulders.
"What???!!" Umi gasped, as Fuu shook her.
"About Kaigan, that stupid slag!" Fuu spat.
Umi prized Fuu's nails away from her skin, and grabbed her wrists. "Fuu." She grimaced, trying not to sound so mad. "First of all, Hikaru and I didn't want you to be upset since we're your best friends. And two, its not Ferio's fault."
Fuu's anger subsided, and she looked sad.
"Fuu, do you think he's as thrilled with this marriage as you are?? He doesn't want to be married."
Fuu burst into tears. She faced Umi. "Should I go talk to him?....."
Umi nodded. "Yes Fuu."
*-----------------------------------------------------*
"Come in." Ferio sat on his bed alone, as a knock sounded.
Fuu walked in quietly.
"Fuu!" Ferio got up nervously, and opened his arms for a hug. Fuu ignored it.
"Ferio.... why-why-" Fuu broke into tears again. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Ferio stood shocked, not knowing what to do. "Fuu- I."
"But why??"
"I didn't want you to be upset...." Ferio walked over to her and held her face with his hands.
She bit her lip, tears running down her cheeks.
Ferio lent down and kissed her gently. Fuu made no effort to carry on the kiss, and he gave up.
"I'm sorry Ferio." Fuu lent against his chest, crying.
He held her head, and hugged her. They stood silently, until Fuu looked up.
"Ferio..... how can I still love you?" Fuu asked quietly.
Ferio sighed. "Fuu.... I'll never stop loving you, because I don't love Kaigan."
To his surprise, Fuu leant up and kissed him on the lips.
