I don't own Rayearth

I Guess I Need You

Fuu looked at the tattoo on her back and grazed her fingers over it unable to believe that she had really gone through with it but, she didn't regret it. She was slowly getting used to her new life. Every morning Hikaru and Umi would wake her up and train with her and she grew closer to them seeing them as being something like sisters. She realized that Ferio was trying to avoid her and it hurt that he did. She would find herself looking at him out of the corner of her eye whenever he was around and sometimes she thought that she saw him looking at her too, but convinced herself that she was imagining things.

Fuu woke up one morning and went outside for her training. She expected to find Hikaru and Umi there but this time Ferio was out there waiting for her.

"Um good morning." She said nervously.

"Morning. Well Hiakru and Umi told me that I should see how much you've improved so how about a friendly match." He grinned true Hikaru and Umi had mentioned that she had improved but he wanted to see for himself. He avoided her since she joined, partially because he didn't have much time to hang out with her and mostly because he wanted to protect himself. The last thing that he needed was to fall for someone but that was exactly what was slowly happening.

She nodded getting into a stance. Ferio told himself that he would take it easy on her how much could she have improved over a few days? He got into a stance and was surprised when Fuu made the first move and was able to get a kick on his stomach. Quickly getting over his surprise he tried to get a hit on her. Fuu sweat as she tried to block his moves. She absorbed the steps in her mind and save them to use later. Ferio was shocked when she used one of his own moves against him. He jumped back before she was able to land a hit on him.

'Ok so maybe she can improve a lot in a few days.' He thought to himself as he made a quick move against her legs effectively knocking her to the ground. He extended a hand to her and she grabbed it and pulled herself up.

"Well Fuu you're just full of surprises aren't you. I haven't had a workout like that in a while."

"Thank you but next time I will beat you." She warned him.

"Right Fuu. I guess that calling you a princess was offensive."

"Haha but after I tell them what happened that's what their going to start calling you." She said running towards the house.

"Hey that was mean!" He yelled running after her.

'Fuu do you even realize how much you're affecting me?' Ferio thought to himself as he playfully chased after her.

"Stop running around you're getting dirt all over the floor!" Caldina scolded them as Fuu and Ferio ran into the house.

"Oh I'm sorry." Fuu answered apologetically not noticing that Ferio used this as a chance to lunge after her.

"Ahh." She screamed when his arms got around her. She quickly extracted herself from his arms then continued running around the house.

"Ah young love such a beautiful thing." Ascot joked playfully watching them run around like errant children.

"Mom, Dad, Kuu, no, no come back please don't leave me here by myself." Fuu shot up tears streaming down her face. She placed her face in her hands and shook her head. After so long they just came back. She sobbed she missed them so much. She got up she needed to talk to someone, anyone. She walked into the room next to her and saw surprised to see Ferio still up with paper lying in front of him.

He looked up surprised to see her there crying. He pushed his papers aside and got up. He took her hand and sat her on the bed. He kneeled down next to her and brushed her tears from her face.

"Fuu sweetie what's wrong. Did something happen?"

"These nightmares of my family...they came back...after so long they came back." This only drew more tears from her. Ferio sat next to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Fuu it's ok. Come on talk to me tell me what's wrong."

"My family died a few years ago I never find out how and ever since then I've been having these awful dreams. I keep imagining different scenarios about how they died and I know that it wasn't peaceful. I just wish that I could get some closure, if I knew how they died then maybe these dreams would stop."

Ferio knew what she was going through he went through that before and he wanted to tell her that but something stopped him. Instead he rubbed her back whispering comforting words.

"Fuu listen to me your family is in a much better place than here. Wherever they are I know that they are watching over you. They miss you and they love you. And because of that they don't want you to be sad."

Fuu brushed her tears away and smiled at him.

"Thank you."

"Its ok it's going to take time to get used to it and you'll never really get over it but I'll be here to help you through it. Remember we're your family now." He couldn't help but stare into her amazing eyes. They always managed to trap him. He found his head moving towards hers but his mind yelled at him to stop, that she was vulnerable. He stopped and looked away trying not to show any emotions. Fuu felt a loss. She thought that he was really going to kiss her and she admitted to herself that she really wanted him to.

"Ferio can I stay here I really don't want to be by myself."

"Sure no problem." He got up and let her lay down then tucked the sheets around her.

"Good night Ferio." Her eyes followed him as he set up a bed on the floor.

"Night Fuu." He couldn't decided if this was his better judgment or whether it went against it but he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

Fuu felt her face become enflamed she closed her eyes and willed herself to go to sleep.

'Argh I wish I wasn't so shy. Ok this is it I'm going to tell him. Just not today...'

"Hello?" Fuu answered the phone that they gave her.

"Hey there Princess its me Umi. Well I can't come and pick you up, something came up that I have to deal with."

"Oh its alright I can just go and walk home."

"No its alright I sent Ferio to go pick you up."

"Excuse me?"

"Yea, as a favor kind of plus he's the one that's making me go he should be there real soon."

And sure enough she saw him pull up to the front of the school.

"Alright he's here Miss Umi bye."

"Bye Fuu."

Fuu trudged over to the car fearing a very uncomfortable ride. After that night she went to his room they had fallen back to their old routine of simply acknowledging that the other one was there.

"Hello Ferio."

"Hi."

"Thanks for picking me up."

"No problem, hey I have a really quick meeting that I need to go to you don't mind right?"

"No its alright."

They pulled up to a large black building and although she knew it was a corporate office it was somewhat looming and scary even. They rode the elevator up to the 12th floor and was met by a board room full of different business partners.

They all stood up when Ferio walked in and greeted him, they barely noticed Fuu walking behind him before she ducked away to the far end of the room.

"Alright everyone lets make this meeting short and sweet. Our sales figures for the new product seem to be dropping. After the assurance of many people in this room that it would be our most successful product. Now I hate liars and I know that half of you hate my guts, the feeling is mutual, but what I also know is that you work through it because I pay you well. So listen if you don't realize this our company's profits are dependent on the popularity of our products which you all oversee. So if no one is buying them that means no money for that extra operation for your underage mistress. Now who wants to tell me how to fix this?"

Fuu was slightly confused. She never saw this side of Ferio and she really didn't like it but then again who was she to really judge how he handled his company.

They all just stared up at him, Ferio could only sigh, it was a miracle that the company didn't go bankrupt already. He knew that they slightly resented him because he was much younger than them but he also had much more power than them. They all started to produce different reasons for the loss in profits but no one seem to really know what was going on. Fuu took off a folder front the table and glanced through the figures quickly, taking notes in her head of certain trends or things that they would probably not see from their perspective.

"Um Ferio." Fuu cut in before he was about to explode.

Fuu's voice was able to cut through his fit of anger and calmed him slightly. "Yes?"

"Well I think that I have an explanation." She stated softly.

"Ferio who is this? Couldn't you afford someone who didn't talk and got into men's business."

One of the men stated, Ferio shot him a glare.

"I would hate to remind you about that secretary that you hired who managed to steal millions before you started to suspect that there was a problem. Fuu please continue."

Fuu felt slightly relived surprised that he had defended her.

"Well the problem isn't just from one area I think that it stems from different regions of your corporation. First off you are appealing to the wrong group of people. From what I know your rival corporation has already secured the older upper class. And although your products may be superior what they have is customer loyalty, and the way to combat that is create your own generation of people loyal to this name. What I am saying is to go after the middle class and the younger people. This is an untapped source of guaranteed wealth. It is assumed that most teens do not have the capacity to purchase high end merchandise but the truth is that they have greater access to money. The design may also have to change too. Make it seem more consumer friendly. The design that the other company has is too classic, you can introduce and new style making it not only useful but appealing at the same time. Um well that's only some of the ideas that I had."

The board room looked at her shocked. The answers were so obvious but they could not figure them out.

Ferio smiled proudly, she had just revealed to him another reason why she was so amazing. "Well thank you Fuu I'll have people get to work on your suggestions. I guess that is all, you all can go home." The people started filtering out and this left Fuu and Ferio alone.

"Fuu that was very insightful. We could use people like you."

"Thank you Ferio, oh thanks for listening too I wasn't sure whether I should have said anything."

"No problem, they needed this, I think that they were getting too comfortable and assumed that no one could ever replace them. Whenever you have the need to say something then just say it."

Fuu felt comforted by Ferio's support. "I will."

"Oh no I'm starting to regret saying that." Ferio stated teasingly.

Fuu felt her heart sink but recognized an all familiar grin. "I save your company and you say something like that." She stated then walked toward the exit.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry slow down come on I'll take you to get some food." He said running after her.

"Why is it that I am always the one chasing after you?" He yelled after her.

"Ferio you're being too serious again come on it's a club its supposed to be fun." Umi said leading them into a crowded club.

"I honestly can't understand how you manage to drag me to these things all the time." He grumbled.

"Well I think that Fuu might have something to do with that. Doesn't she look great tonight?" Hikaru whispered leaving him and following Umi to the dance floor.

Ferio looked at Fuu from the corner of his eye. She did look great, different. She was wearing and sparkly green halter-top and unconsciously pulling down on her short black pleated skirt. She even wore contacts which only worked to enhance her beautiful eyes. He glared at all the other men in the club who were staring at her the same way that he was. He could tell that she felt slightly out of place and resisted as Umi and Hikaru tried to drag her to dance with them. He walked over to them.

"Hey you two me and Fuu will meet up with you later go have fun. You know where we'll be."

Umi grinned, "If you wanted to be alone with her that bad you could have just asked."

Ferio blushed hoping that the colored lights hid that. "Ascot can you please take your woman away from my sight."

Ascot came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Gladly." He said moving her away.

"I'll be right back I need to go the restroom." Hikaru said moving away from them. Ferio noted to himself that Hikaru went the opposite way to the bathroom when he knew that she knew where it was. Thinking nothing of it he took Fuu's hand and led her up a flight of stairs to a private booth and ordered them some drinks.

"Thanks for down there, I've never really been to one of these places." Fuu said playing with a straw wrapper.

"No problem I wanted someone to hang out with these places aren't really my scene." He answered, plus he really just wanted to have some time with her.

Fuu was happy to be just sitting there with him and talking. He also seemed to be in a much better mood than he had been for the past few days and that made her feel better.

"Hey Ferio!" Ferio groaned seeing one of his business partners coming up to their booth.

"Oh hey Mitsuey." He glared slightly seeing him take a seat next to Fuu sitting closer to her than he would have liked.

'Ferio why do you care she's not yours to get jealous over.' He told himself but growled as Mitsuey took her hand.

"Well who is this lovely lady. Such beautiful milky skin. I'm Mitsuey and let me guess your name is Angel." His hand rubbed up and down her arm.

Fuu got goose bumps trying not to inhale the smell of liquor coming from his breath.

"Hello Mr. Mitsuey my name is Fuu it's nice to meet you." She said politely despite her discomfort.

Ferio restraint finally broke when he saw his hand crawl up her leg. He pulled Fuu over to him and placed her in his lap wrapping his arms protectively around her.

"Mitsuey as you know my company's support is vital to the existence of your business and I would hate it if I would suddenly have to withdraw our support because you can't seem to keep your hands off of my girlfriend. She doesn't appreciate it and neither do I now if you would please leave you have ruined our evening." Ferio glared as he got up.

"Damn, sorry I didn't know she was yours." He said walking away.

Fuu sighed in relief but blushed finally realizing the intimate hold she was in with Ferio.

"Sorry that you had to meet such a horrible man. No amount of business is worth having to work with him. Are you alright?" He asked worried he knew that he should have let her go but he liked holding her that way and as far as he knew she didn't mind so much either.

"Yes I am thank you." She knew what she wanted to say next, she had planned it for a while waiting for the perfect time and here it was but couldn't tell if she could push her shyness down enough to say it.

'Fuu if you don't do it now you may end up losing your chance. Argh whatever here it goes.' She told herself needing to drum up some confidence. She turned around in Ferio's arms and straddled him as though she forgot she was wearing a short skirt. Ferio's heart pounded not understanding what she was doing.

Her arms wrapped around his neck and she stared into his eyes.

"Since I'm yours does that mean I can finally kiss you cause I've been wanting to do that for a while. Unless you really didn't mean what you said to Mitsuey."

Didn't mean what he said. Yeah right ever since that day he ran into her he wanted her and now she was finally asking to be his. When Mitsuey put the moves on her he found himself reaching for his gun.

Ferio's breath caught in his throat. Damn he thought that Fuu was the shy one.

"I...I mean.." Fuu smiled cutely. She knew that he wanted her too she knew ever since he saw that look in his eyes that he had that night she went up to his room. She brought her head closer to his and placed her lips on his. She could swear that she felt a surge of electricity at the moment that their lips met.

'God he's a good kisser.' She thought to herself as his lips moved against hers. His tongue prodded her lips for access and she opened them slightly and suppressed a moan when his tongue explored her mouth. A few seconds later they pulled away smiling.

"I've wanted to do that for a while too." Ferio admitted.

Her heart beat a little faster at his admission.

"Well then why don't we make up for lost time." Fuu said innocently as her fingers slid up to graze the scar on his cheek. Ferio could do nothing else but happily accept her suggestion.

"Ahh oh my goodness Ascot did you see that. I didn't know Fuu had it in her."

"Umi I don't think that we should be spying on them." Ascot said pulling her away.

"Hey this was my doing I think that I should be allowed to see the final product."

"Yea whatever you say besides we have ways that we can entertain ourselves right?" He drew her on his lap and kissed his way up her neck.

"Yes we do." She breathed.

Hikaru stood in a dark corner waiting patiently.

"Hika." She heard a voice behind her say. She turned around and launched herself on him wrapping her arms around him. He leaned down and kissed her hungrily he hadn't seen her for a week and now he realized that much time away from her was too long. Hikaru kissed him back understanding his urgency, she felt that same way too.

"God I missed you so much." He whispered into her ear.

Her arms wrapped around him tighter. "I missed you too. I was so worried after not hearing from you for a few days. I was scared that something happened to you."

"That won't happen there's no way that I am going to go and get myself killed now that I have you."

Hikaru got a worried expression on her face and he recognized it all too well. He weaved his hand into her hair, which comforted her slightly.

"Hey don't worry about that now ok all that matters is that we are together right now. Don't worry about tomorrow just live in now."

She smiled up at him appreciatively. She placed kisses against the corner of his mouth.

"I love you Hikaru."

"I love you Lantis."
