Ok, I had this chapter written up before, just not typed. I didn't mean to just post that one chapter up, but I ran out of time so I could only post the one. That was not my original intention!!!!!!! Anyway, again, I do not own Magic Knight Rayearth. If I did, I wouldn't even have this on the site, it would not be found on the website you are on. It would be found in either a manga, or in an anime, or both! But certainly not here! But hopefully, you already knew that.

And I am sorry (well not really) that I left you off at such a cliffhanger. But I like to leave my chapters off like that. I do it all the time in 'Forever In Your Arms' so you can expect more chapters like that! (Why is it that I keep advertising 'Forever in Your Arms' in every fanfiction I write?) Ok, here's the story.

"Me save Ferio?" Fuu demanded worried. "Why? Is he in danger?" The look on her face was enough to break anyone's heart.

Caldina gave Fuu a sympathetic look with a smile. Then she assured her "Oh don't ya worry 'bout him. He's really missed ya Fu. It'll be nice ta see that boy smile again."

Fuu gave a relieved sigh. She was sure her heart had skipped a few beats during that extra-long minute. "You had me worried Caldina. Please don't say things like that."

"Come on." Lantis beckoned. "I think he's inside the palace."

"I know he's inside the palace. He neva comes outside anymore. Neva eva since you girls left." Caldina interjected. Then she and everyone else followed Lafarga inside.

Hikaru asked. "Has Ferio missed us that much? He doesn't seem the type to mope around like that."

Lantis replied. "He's different when you guys aren't around. That is, as long as I have known him. He's much less open. But this time it's been really bad. He had just stopped doing much of anything. I don't think he's spoken three sentences since you went back to your world."

"Yeah," Ascot agreed. "Clef and Presea are really worried about him."

"Puu!" Mokona came out of nowhere and jumped onto Umi's face. Umi was totally taken by surprise. She ran around in circles in super-deformed mode for a few minutes until she finally yanked Mokona off her head.

"Mokona!" Hikaru cried out happily. Mokona jumped over into Hikaru's arms. "How have you been Mokona?"

"Nothing can depress that thing!" Caldina laughed. "It neva changes it's mood at all, at least not that I've seen!"

"Pupu puu pupu pu?" Mokona asked.

"It asked us where we are going." Hikaru explained to everyone else.

"A year later and she can still understand it while it is still gibberish to me." Umi thought aloud.

"We're going to see Ferio Mokona." Hikaru informed it. Mokona jumped out of Hikaru's hold and hopped a bit down the hallway.

"Pupuu pu pu!" Mokona yelled.

"He knows where Ferio is!!" Hikaru exclaimed and followed after Mokona. The others chased after Hikaru.

"I thought the game 'Follow the Mokona' ended after we found the last mashin!" Complained Umi. "But I guess not!"

"That thing is fast!" Ascot added.

They chased Mokona through different halls (Umi swore that they had been down the same hallway at least three times) and rooms. The pursuers began to wonder if even Mokona knew where it was going! But Hikaru kept insisting that Mokona had never led them wrong before, and she trusted it. And her fathe was well put because all of the sudden Mokona stopped without warning.

"Puu pu!" Mokona declared proudly.

They were in a hallway that Fuu immediately recognized. It was a extremely long hallway with lots of windows on one side and a wall on the other. Outside the windows was the landscape of Cephiro, which looked quite beautiful. But the landscape had not been such a nice sight the last time she had been there. There had been thunder and rain and lightening. The landscape was barren and dark. It was the hallway where she had first been alone with Ferio after she had found out that he was actually Emeraude's brother.

Ferio was now the one staring out the window with an emotionless look on his face. His eyes showed no reaction to what he was looking at, if anything. It almost seemed like he was in deep thought, but his face was too blank to tell. His back was to the group, although he must have known they were behind him from all the noise the group had made running after Mokona.

"Ferio?" Lafarga asked.

Ferio didn't answer, or even turn. He didn't even blink.

"Ferio," Lantis tried. "Someone's here to see you."

"Hm" Ferio grunted in acknowledgement. He still didn't move at all.

"Come on Ferio! Ain't you gonna at least look ah us?" Caldina demanded.

Ferio didn't move and continued to stare out the window.

"See, this is how he has been since you guys left." Ascot quietly explained to the Magic Knights.

"Really rude." Caldina put in.

Ferio still didn't move or show any reaction that he heard them. He continued to stare, either out the window or into space. It was hard to tell.

"Maybe you should say something to him." Lantis told Fuu. "I've got a feeling that you're the one he is missing."

Fuu nodded and walked a few steps away from the group and towards Ferio. "Um, Ferio?" She began quietly.

Ferio's head whipped around at the sound of her voice. His face was full of surprise and disbelief. He ran over to her and trapped her in his arms. He had a huge smile on his face, which he buried in her hair to try and hide the tears that began to fall from his closed eyes.

"Fuu, you're really here." Ferio told her softly. "You're really here!"

"Yes." Fuu answered and let him hold her.

"I let you leave, I didn't want to. Don't go away again."

"I won't." Fuu assured him and brought her arms around his waist. "Don't worry."

Sorry it took so long!! It took me a while to type it because I had to change some things. Then the internet at my school wasn't working and Verizon was trying to fix it but not doing a very good job. Anyway, it's done! I will start to work on chapter 3 right away. (which by the way I have not finished writing, so expect some major catastrophe in the near future) Wish me luck!

Later: Wouldn't you know it? The computer lab said that my 3 1/2 floppy wasn't formatted!!! But here I am now at my house and it comes up just fine! The school computers must have something against me!! But I had no idea this chapter was so short! Only three pages it is on my computer. Sorry! I will try to make the chapters longer (and more exciting) in the near future. If the computers don't kill me first!!
