A NEW BEGINNING

CHAP 7

Alongside a Friend *-Kirisawa Fuuko's Story-*

"Fuuko-sama!!!!!!!!!" A certain gorilla with a Mohawk was running towards a very irritated Fuuko Kirisawa who was just walking by his flower shop.

She heard his annoying voice perfectly even through her earphones though her CD player was on full blast. Ignoring the idiot, she kept on walking as if there was no one chasing her although by that time the ground was already shaking. He finally caught up, and stopped right in front of her.

"Fuuko-sama, your beloved pretty Domon-kun is here. ("PRETTY?? Yeah, right." Fuuko whispered to herself.) I see you skipped school today, just like me. How two people who are in love think alike, huh?" He said in his usual smiling tone.

Fuuko not changing her expression, took out the earphones from her ears, and said.

"What do you want, you jerk?" as she kicked him in the stomach that threw him to the other side of the street.

"If you got time to chase around me, why don't you go look for your madougu??" She yelled towards a Domon who was flying away by the second.

"I don't have time to be hanging around an idiot like you. I'm going. Ja, matane (kinda like..See ya!!)."

She walked away. There was something different about Fuuko. She was mad, but not just mad, she was really mad. She was pissed, as she would put it. But what was upsetting her so much?





As she walked by the school gates people were coming out. She stood about 10 meters away from the gate, until she spotted Yanagi.

"Hey Yanagi!" Fuuko yelled out, happy to see her friend unharmed.

She was worried about Yanagi non-stop, and she had not had the time to check up on her. She was hoping someone stayed behind to keep an eye on her.

"Hi, Fuuko-chan. You haven't been in school lately. Domon-kun, and Mikagami-senpai weren't there either though."

"Mi-chan wasn't there either? I know Domon wasn't, but I don't really care for that gorilla, so whatever."

"Yeah, he wasn't. Maybe he went to go look for his madougu."

"Maybe.." Fuuko said as she spaced out.

"Fuuko-chan? Is something wrong?" Yanagi asked looking concerned at her best friend.

"Yah, I'm fine. Don't worry about it. I just came here to tell you to look out this week while we're all away. That Yonekura-yarou might come, and get you."

"Thanks, but I think I'll be okay." Yanagi said smiling thankfully at Fuuko.

"Alright, well, I'll be on my way." Fuuko said as she walked away.

Fuuko's POV

I thought someone would stay behind with Yanagi, but I guess we all thought the same since we all left. Looks like Mi-chan's started looking for his madougu. I don't know about Koganei, or Domon. I'm not so worried about Koganei. He's smart, he'll find it. But Domon, he's dumber than a three- year-old kid. But it really isn't him I should be worried about. I need worry about myself, I have two more days to find the Fuujin. I've been searching in different places for it, like the school, where I first used it, the Hokage House. I even went to the place the Urautou Satsujin took place. It was kinda weird. They were re-building the doom, and they were taking down a weird statue that looked like Kukai. I knew Kukai rebuilt the doom after Recca, and Kurei destroyed it, but why were they rebuilding it again? I wonder why..ah, well. I need to worry about finding the Fuujin first. Think Fuuko, isn't there a place where you haven't been?? Wait..what about the forest that Raiha gave me the kaku of the Fuujin. That's it. Why didn't I think of going there?? I can't believe I haven't gone there!!

*********************************************************

"Man this place is creepy.." Fuuko said to herself as she entered the forest.

She remembered the first time she came here. She didn't know that lousy fortune-teller was Raiha. She thought it was one of the Ura-Uruha. When she found out it was Raiha, she remembers pounding him, and then she gave her the look. That cold deadly look that was so unexpected from the cheerful Raiha.

"Now, what do I do? How am I suppose to find the Fuujin?" Fuuko asked herself. There was nothing around except trees.

Trees, trees, trees. That's all there was in this place. Everything was still, and quiet. She walked around looking for any signs of her Fuujin. She searched the whole forest about twenty-zillion times, but she still found nothing. She sat down by a tree, and closed her eyes. Then she heard something familiar.

"hujin..Gos..sama"

The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite figure out, or make out what it was saying, or where she had heard it before. She followed the voice.

"Goshujin-sama."

She kept walking towards where the voice was coming from. She didn't realize this, but she was walking the opposite direction as the winds was blowing.

"Goshujin-sama!!"

She heard one last time until she found what was calling her. It was the Fuujin. The white tekkou with its 5 spare red balls, and the main ball, or kaku with the symbol "Fuu" meaning wind, all placed in their proper positions.

"So this was what was calling for me." Fuuko said to herself as she walked towards the Fuujin that was exerting an immense gust of wind.

She picked up the Fuujin, and placed it on her hand, feeling the warmth of the wind through her arm, then to her entire body. She missed that feeling. A normal life just wasn't her. Her body, her soul, her mind, everything that was her was asking for battle. She wanted, and needed fighting in her life, and she needed the Fuujin.

"Goshujin-sama, it's time you found me." The Fuujin said as he appeared in front of Fuuko, "I was afraid no one would find me."

"You worry too much. Of course I'll find you." Fuuko said giving her partner a playful smile.

****************************************************************

"Goshijin-sama, is something bothering you?" The Fuujin asked.

"No, it's not that. I was glad I found you, but I was thinking of the other madougu that I used. The Shinryo Shintou, the one Hisui gave me."

"You want to fight with it right?"

"It's not so much that I want to fight with the madougu, I want to fight with Hisui, and taking the Shinryo Shintou, is like taking Hisui with me." Fuuko said remembering how Hisui died trying to save her.

"Then let's go get it!!" The Fuujin said leading the way.

"Wait, Fuujin-chan, you know..where the Shinryo Shintou is?" Fuuko asked.

"Of course, I mean if the Shinryo Shintou is gonna be somewhere, it'll be somewhere that has meaning to the user, or in this case users." The Fuujin said facing a puzzled Fuuko.

"Since the Shinryo Shintou was used by two people, it could be anywhere, but there's one place that has a meaning to both the users. Where you two met."

"Fuuin no chi!! (The place where the Tendou Jikoku was. I dunno what it is in English.)" Fuuko exclaimed.

"Right." Fuujin-chan said looking satisfied.

"Let's go." Fuuko ran towards the Fuuin no chi.

*****************************************************************

They walked deeper into the forest that the Fuuin no chi was located it in. It was actually in the same forest as the one the Fuujin was in. They couldn't find the tree that was the entrance to the Fuuin no chi. They searched about a million trees when they finally found it. The entrance. There were rocks all over the place, and broken debris.

"We can't enter. The entrance is clogged up with all this debris, from when it collapsed." Fuuko said sadly.

Fuujin-chan didn't know what to say. Since it was a part of Fuuko it knew how much Fuuko wanted the Shinryo Shintou to be with her. He looked around to check if there really wasn't a way to get in. Then he saw two long silver things sticking out of the rocks somewhere.

"Goshujin-sama?" It called to its master.

"Yeah? What's up?" Fuuko asked.

"Isn't that the Shinryo Shintou?" He asked

It was the Shinryo Shintou. Both of them stuck in the rocks a little distance away.

Fuuko ran towards it afraid that she was just seeing things, and that it'll fade away if she didn't catch it.

She took out one of the Shinryo Shintou out of its hold in the rock, and grabbed the hilt. She commanded it to expand, and it did. It was the Shinryo Shintou, Hisui's partner, her soul. She found it. She can fight with it, take it with her, take Hisui with her, fight with Hisui.

"Thanks Hisui." Fuuko said as she looked onto the sky that was already dark.





AUTHOR'S NOTE: I really wasn't sure what to do with this chapter. You guys think it's alright? I was kinda out with ideas, but now that schools out, and finals are done I think I'll be back in gear soon, and out of my idea block. Christmas is on the way~so I wrote a one-shot Christmas fic that's already posted so check it out for me plz!! This chapter was a pretty short Chapter, but as I've said I was out of ideas, and I think the next chapter will be pretty short as well which is about Domon. The one after that will be about Recca which undoubtly will be long. Don't forget to review!!
