I don't own Flame of Recca... durrr!
Another thing, for best and more emotional time while reading this, I
suggest you download or get the song by Michelle Branch called "Set Me
Free" for this chapter. When given the cue, play the song as you read
through the part where the song is suppose to be playing. I was playing the
song while writing this so trust me; you'll feel it more if you get the
song. There are different songs on different chapters but not all of them
have songs... just a few. Alrighty, enjoi!!!! ^____^

Chapter I: No Need For Yearning! But I Feel Something Missing.
"Hi-yah!" the small knives had struck deep into the tree trunks as the figure that have thrown them moves from tree to tree. Only the shadow can be seen, the figure moves so fast. How long has this been going on? Two... three hours? A soft crunching noise was heard as the figure landed soft on the ground. The hot sunrays soon struck the figure, revealing her soft violet hair flapping within the breeze of the quiet wind blowing. Her sweat trickled from her forehead down to her eyes, causing her to wince from the stinging pain.
'No pain, no gain is what I say,' She silently thought to herself. "Argh...." she muttered as the blinding sun rays struck her in the eye as soon as she opened them.
Fuuko closed her eyes to stop the sunrays from blinding her. It was hot; the sun was up... a good day for training. She breathed serenely, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer to her.
"What are you doing here anyway?" she asked, not even bothering to open her eyes to acknowledge the figure's existence.
"I was just watching. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"
"Don't be a smart-ass. You know what I mean."
There was a long silence... then a boyish chuckle was heard. "You're so suspicious Fuuko-sama. You haven't changed."
"Well..." after a while, a playful smile curled up on the corners of her tiny, pink lips "... you've saved me before but how would I know when you're going to take your toll on me? I have to be on my guard ne, Raiha- kun?"
It's been like that these past few days... Fuuko trained long and hard while Raiha hid somewhere, watching but end up getting caught by Fuuko anyway. 'It's been like this... and it is pretty nice to have a companion,' Fuuko thought, 'Why not? It's better than being alone... well, I could always train with Recca-kun or Domon-kun but those two are so loud... it's better when Raiha-kun is the one watching. You know that you have a companion but he's so quiet that you could keep your focus and be on your best concentration.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---
Fuuko started heading off after that training in the forest. The loud hustling and bustling of the cars and the chattering of the people she passed by gave her a headache and made her even tired than she actually was.
"Fuuko-chan!!" She heard her name being called from a distance then fast approaching footsteps was heard. She turned her head wearily to where it was coming from to spot Domon, Recca and Yanagi heading towards her.
"Fuuko-chan, sweetheart, where have you been?! My heart aches when you're not around and you know that!" Domon struck a funny pose then jumped on Fuuko making 'chuu-chuu' sounds with his lips.
"Agh, get offa me! I'm all sweaty and sticky." Fuuko pushed Domon off her as she dusted off her dirty looking shirt.
"Been training some more?" Recca grinned.
"Hella yeah! You betcha I was training." She raised her fist, a sudden rush of energy overflowing in her. "Heh, I'm still working on beating you, Recca-kun! Don't think I have forgotten!" she grinned in somewhat a tomboyish way.
"Haha, you could work as much as you can't but you'll never beat me!"
"Oh, you wanna bet?" the two started chasing each other around as Recca mocked Fuuko, making funny faces and smart-ass comebacks.
"Look at those two go at it." Yanagi commented with a sweat drop.
"Haha, I guess those two will never change." Domon agreed, scratching the back of his head with a warm smile painted on his face.
After a while, the four started walking together to head home. Recca and Domon were talking about some show they both saw last night and how 'cool' it was and stuff. Fuuko just shook her head and grinned for she has no idea what the hell the two were babbling about. Fuuko's gaze lowered getting a glimpse of Recca's hand reaching Yanagi's, causing her to turn to face him, her cheeks turning rosier than usual. The two smiled warmly between each other and suddenly there was warmth and tranquility in the atmosphere around them as their hands linked together as though becoming one with one another. Fuuko stared blankly at their intertwined fingers as Domon gave her a light pat on the shoulder, waking her up to reality.
"Hey, you okay, Fuuko-sweetheart?"
"Y-yeah..." she stared at him blankly for a while then raised an eyebrow ".... and don't call me that." she added, whapping him on the back of the head.
'Wow,' she silently thought to herself as the walk continued. 'I haven't really thought about that....' she blushed some, '...sort of thing before. Man, why can't I have that too?' her eyes then shifted to Domon who was laughing at something Recca was saying. 'Domon-kun is a nice guy and all.... Why can't I just have romantic feelings for him? He'll risk his life for me.... He's there no matter what... not to mention, I've known him for a long time and he knows me well. But... I can't put my finger on it... it's like no matter what I do, no matter how I try, I really just like him as a friend.' She then shook her head, smiling to herself, 'these silly thoughts... I swear, I need to stop watching those romance movies with my mom late at night... Now I'm starting to be all mushy and stuff.' she shuddered at the thought. 'Come on, after all, I'm Fuuko. I don't need any saving, I'm the one that does that.'
But Raiha saved her before. She never wanted to acknowledge that. Not that she didn't appreciate it... it's just she'd rather not feel weak.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
No matter how she toss and turn, roll and twirl, she could not sleep. With her hair covering half her face, Fuuko's eyes were open wide. Staring at the dark, empty space in front of her. She allowed her eyes to fall half- closed.
"Gah!!! I can't sleep!" She shut her eyes tight, hugging her soft pillow tightly. "Hrm! I hate this!" She twirled to the side and kept her eyes shut tightly for a while then opened them to see the familiar surroundings of her room. Her alarm clocked blinked for it was not set yet. "It flashed 12:00 over and over and over again. Her hand softly landed on the alarm clock, tracing its buttons lightly with her fingertips. She finally felt the button she was certain the one she was searching for and lightly pressed it.
"And that was 'A Thousand Miles' by Vanessa Carlton. Next was requested by Arisa, a song by Michelle Branch called 'Set Me Free'" A nice guitar beat started. Fuuko kept her hand on the button as she stared at the clock.
-Can't you see, there's a feeling that's come over me. Close my eyes-
Fuuko's lazy looking eyelids closed in a relaxed manner.
-You're the only one that leaves me completely breathless. No need to wonder why... Sometimes a gift like this, you can't deny...
A sudden knot builds up in Fuuko's throat, causing pain to cross her features.
-Oh... Cause I... I wanted to fly so you gave me your wings...-
All of a suddenly, the motionless Fuuko came to life as she layed her back flat against her bed and stretched her arms out to the level of her shoulders. In her mind, she envisioned herself falling... the breeze of wind rushing against her face, ruffling, toying with her hair... Feelings the cool sensation the wind was causing to her pale skin. The curtains of her room fluffed out as soft chilly air entered her open window soon filling her room as if creating her imagination into a reality.
-And time... held its breath so I could.... See, yeah.... And you set me free...-
All of a sudden, her fall stopped. Time completely stood still. She could see the sakura petals stopped before landing on the grass-filled earth below. Her eyes scanned the place she saw in her mind. The water from the fountain stopped and remained still, some of its droplets still in the air. Then her eyes caught a glimpse of a shadowed figure from below. Both of the figure's hands were up.... Up and... reaching for her...? Then her eyes flung open and the familiar empty space in front of her came back. Everything was normal. Her room was still her room... She shook her head and taps the off button for the radio on her alarm clock harshly. 'It's those movies, I swear...' she frowned to herself. 'Man, I really need to stop watching those movies...' She then shook her head, pulling her blanket up, covering herself completely.
