Chapter four:

Damn this is hard to write about but I shall press on! I really want to write this one!

I love Fuuko heaps but I get a bit bored with how quiet the FOR section is recently, so I'll just keep writing! Heh heh

Anyways here tis:

DISCLAIMER: Fuuko rocks Fuuko rocks and Mi-chan is so cool.. Oops, a disclaimer, I mean, I don't own NUFFIN and that pisses me off! :P hahahah

_______________

"EYAAAGGGHHHH" Domon screamed in terror as they dropped about 50 meters down. The girl's squealed and the other's watched patiently from the bottom.

Fuuko jumped off the ride happily, Yanagi followed her with a big grin. Domon crawled of the ride looking mortified.

Fuuko poked him.

"Oi, you were just as afraid last time. you should be used to it by now." She said. He groaned. He only went on because his Fuuko-darling went on, and that Recca teased him that he was afraid. Yanagi just giggled a little, it was funny seeing the big strong man afraid of amusement park rides.

Ganko held onto Fuuko's arm.

"Here have some fairy floss!"

Everyone seemed to be in such a good mood today she looked at Recca and Yanagi, they seemed so happy together. Kondo, Ganko and Domon were teasing each other again, Koganai was trying to explain to some kid that Kondo was the only toy of his kind and that he could not buy that in Japan, and she was happy knowing that everyone was having fun.

But there was on person missing.

Number two of the Hokage.

She remembered the thing Neon had said about Mikagami being number one or two on the team, she could not help but wonder if she could take Mikagami on. Oh well they had never found out, her Fuujin was running out of power with only one crystal left.

***someone explain that to me, I only saw four crystals on the fuujin in the anime and she uses four crystals on the fuujin and then at the end she says she's only got one left, but what crystal is that? The ONI NO TSUME or the KAZE crystal (which she does not have) or am I missing something??? Oh well I'm trying to keep it in context a little and in script and if she says she's only got one left then urm I'll buy it :P ***

She was known for her speed also, so maybe they would have been a good match if they had fought. She had offered to fight him in the house of mirrors but Kagero had stopped them at the time.

Sometimes with that arrogant attitude of him she really wanted to take him down, but right now she was more annoyed that he had not turned up.

She looked at Yanagi..... and then Recca.

Why was she so worried about if Mi-chan and Yanagi were a couple, she knew they probably were not, because of how Yanagi felt about Recca. Was it for her own sake she was really doing this?

She knew her attraction to Mi-chan was fact in her own mind, but that was all it was, was it not?

Fuuko frowned, all she knew was she did not want to see Recca get hurt over this, and she wanted to make sure Yanagi and Mi-chan were no a couple, who cared what the reasons were right??

"Fuuko-nechan? You said he was coming soon." Said Koganai who was anxious to see Mikagami. Koganai had not seen the Ice man in a while and looked forward to seeing him like he was his own brother. Fuuko just put her hands on her hips. She had organized this event and he had agreed to come yesterday.

Though she had remembered what Mi-chan had said.

***

"We'll talk later."

***

What was that about?

"That stupid jerk, he said he'd come by now." Fuuko said with hands on her hips. Recca rolled his eyes.

"I bet you he's not coming." He said. "Probably thinks he's above us still." He concluded. Everyone was a little surprised at his seriousness at that sentence. Fuuko could not help notice Yanagi as she crawled into a little silence.

Fuuko looked at Recca who seemed more serious now. My gosh! Did Recca suspect something of Mi-chan?

"Pardon me if I was in no hurry to arrive." Said a voice. Recca shot the speaker a dirty look. Perceptive Fuuko looked at the two worriedly. Recca then just put his hands on his hips.

"We all got here early to enjoy the whole day, and you get here late." Recca said a little annoyed, there had always been a little rivalry and tension between the two, even when they had resolved their issues back in the tournament. They would always be opposites.

"What are you talking about? I decided to spend time with you monkeys didn't I? You should be greatful." he returned sarcastically.

"It was Fuuko's idea, and she worked hard to get us all here, you could at least come here on time."

Fuuko paused heavily, that was an unusual comment.

"Recca, it's alright, I am just glad everyone is here today." Said Fuuko, she gave him a look that told him to drop it. Recca just sighed a smiled, Fuuko was right at least he did come.

"Bah, well, glad to see you're with us for a change." He said brotherly. Mikagami just smirked a little. His gave then moved over the group. It passed Yanagi for a moment and then stopped on Fuuko.

She felt the blood rush to her face for a moment. Ah! No way! How embarrassing, I am NOT blushing, she wanted to shout.

But no one commented on the color of her face, it probably was not noticeable. He walked over to her. She felt herself shrinking. But her to her surprise her walked right past her towards one of the rides. Everyone began to follow him, Koganai ran up to him and convinced him to go on a ride. Fuuko smiled as she looked everyone. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Fuuko put her hands on her hips with a smile but as she looked around she realized that she wasn't really THAT happy...... well not as happy as she thought she would be......

Why was she still not really happy. Something was missing from this outing. She recalled the way Mi-chan had looked at her for a moment and the way she felt. Why did he have that effect on her?

And what Recca had said about how he had stuck up for her. That had never really happened before. It was strange that he had done that now. Domon had not even played the whole Fuuko-darling game on her today, Yanagi was acting strangely, and Mi-chan.

Things weren't the same anymore.

Fuuko missed how natural things felt while they were all together before, during and a little after the tournament.

Suddenly she heard a voice calling her.

"Fuuko! Come on! Let's go on the roller coaster!" waved her ever childish friend Recca. Fuuko rolled her eyes and smiled. that idiot.

And next to him stood his princess. Fuuko could help but wonder what it would have been like to be the one who was standing next to Recca like that.

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

"Heh heh, I win again!"

"Dammit!"

"Fuuko, let me tell you something, if you beat me just once, I'll be happy to make you my princess and be your ninja."

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

.... Recca, it's too bad I never beat you.

She started to hurry over to them.

"Ok! Ok I'm coming!"

Fuuko stretched out as they all started to walk home Ganko held on her hand and Kondo rested on Ganko's head.

They arrived at the front of her house when they saw someone waiting there. Ganko looked a little surprised to see him, but happy none the less.

"Mikagami! What are you doing here?" asked Ganko. He did not answer her question and just looked at Fuuko. Fuuko felt how serious his gaze was and felt a little small.

What was he doing here? How did he even know where she lived?

"Ganko, could you go inside for a moment."

Ganko looked at the two of them and instantly smiled and she then ran inside dragging Kondo. Fuuko watched her walk in, she then gazed at Mikagami.

What was he doing here?

His stare fixed on her.

She regained her composure and put her hands on her hips and tried to look casual but she stopped on realization that Mikagami saw straight through her.

". what.... do you want..... Mi-chan." she said rather seriously though ending it with the nickname she had 'lovingly' given him. Only she called him that and he had become used to it after hearing it every now and then at school when she waved at him.

He started to walk over to her stealthily.

That serious gaze on his face.

What was it about him, that intimidated her.

I... I'm not afraid of you...... she had to remind herself. But suddenly that thought fell away as he approached her with such a serious look on his face...

"Kirisawa. It's time to talk."
