I was not going to be that mean and leave you all with the cliffhanger…. soooo here you are…
Can we be together?
Chapter 4Fuu opened the door of her apartement. She was carrying an unconcious Kenshin on her arms. She turned on all the lights and made sure no one was on her apartment. After making sure it was safe. Fuu put her son on his bed, got off his shoes and gave him a kiss on his forehead. He was alright. Fuu looked at him and then walked to the door of the small room. She saw at her house, a billion questions appearing inside her head. She started to tremble as she finally collpased. Crying silently she crawled on the floor next to the door.
Fuu remembered what happened. Kenshin cast a spell that made the woman go. The spell was so powerful that the little boy lost concious out of energy. Fuu was useless. More importanly, Kenshin had hurt someone because of her.. twice in a day. Fuu closed her eyes as the feeling hurt deep inside her heart. She didn't know what to do. She could have gone to her sister's house, or her parent's house… but she would only risk them. The woman was after Kenshin.
Fuu felt lonely, desperate and useless. If only she had her powers. If only "he" was there. "Ferio…" she whispered. "…oh Ferio. I need you so much…" she sobbed as the night covered the city of Tokyo.
Mr Hououji was surprised to hear the bell. It was, after all, two in the morning. It had to be important. He asked who was it. In response a man's voice came in asking for his younger daughter. Mr Hououji blinked. "Fuu?" he asked. Fuu's father opened the door to meet a young man. Maybe on his twenties dressed with funny clothes. But for his surprise, he looked so much like his grandson.
"She is not here." Mr Hououji said giving the stranger a cup of coffee. Ferio took it and smell it. It didn't smell that good so he put it on the table. Mr Hououji drank his coffee. Ferio looked disapointed. "So… where is she?" he asked. Mr Hououji rose his eyes. And met Ferio's. "Well… at her house." He said. "I can give you the adress, though I recommend you to wait till morning, she must be asleep." He said looking intently at Ferio. He had to be, he had to be the father of his grandson. The man his baby daughter was in love with, the one that got her heart, but he, her father had never seen before.
Ferio looked nervous. Why was Fuu on another house? Wasn't she supposed to be with her parents? At least he felt happy, happier than ever. She was on Earth. No matter if she was not in that house, she was there and he would see her shortly.
"I'd rather go and look for her. You know… I haven't seen her for five years." Ferio said. Fuu's father nodded. "Yes, certainly, but still, wondering at this time of the night is dangerous, and besides… I've told you.. she must be asleep. Also, you need to rest."
Fuu's father had heard from Fuu the story. Kenshin's father was not able to be by her side, just because. That was the first version of the story. When Kenshin was born and the blood of his grandson was extremly rare, and Fuu had asked him to do something about it at the hospital so no one would know. She had told that Ferio was a man from another world. A world where, apparently, Hikaru Shidou and Umi Ryusaki were. But she was stuck there.
He had to admit that at first he couldn't believe it. Not even with Kenshin's blood examples. Now….
"I insist sir." Ferio said too eager. "You have to understand… even if she is asleep, even if it's late, I must go." He said standing up. Fuu's father was about to say something when a woman's voice came from the kitchen's door.
"Then, it may be better for us to call her. So she can come, it'll be easier since we do not have a car and she does. She'll arrive sooner." The woman said. Fuu's mother. Ferio introduced himself and thanked the couple for everything.
Fuu was fast asleep when the phone rang. She was sleeping with Kenshin. Her arms wrapped around his little body. She was afraid something might happen. She opened her eyes and looked at the clock. 2:30 am. She robbed her eyes, when suddenly a struck of fear hit her. People didn't call at that time just because.
She stood up and got the phone. "Hououji…"
"Fuu?" a voice came from the phone. Fuu blinked.
"Mom?"
"I'm sorry I awoke you."
"It's alright. Is something the matter? It's too early."
"I need you to come here. Now."
Fuu looked at the phone.
"Mom…are you sure everything is alright?"
"Yes, yes do not worry. Just come here."
"Can't it wait till tomorrow…I… I can't leave Kenshin alone."
"Even better, bring him along." Fuu was confused.
"Okay…fine I'll be there in a couple of minutes."
"Great!"
"Bye bye" Mrs Hououji said as she hung up. Ferio looked confused at Fuu's mother… what did she mean by "bring him along"? and why hadn't she let him speak with her?
"It is not romantic!" Mrs Hououji told him.
Fuu drove cautiously. She was afraid another maniac would come out of nowhere to hurt her son. She didn't like the idea of going to her parents house, not in her actual condition. But her mother has always be rational and serious. It was a big deal if she called her at that time of the morning. She saw at the back seat. Kenshin was still asleep.
She parked the car in front of a big house. She stopped the engine and, making sure no one was there, she walked to the door carrying her son. To her surprise, her father was already waiting for her. He kissed her and took Kenshin off her.
"I'll take him to the leaving room. You better go to the kitchen." He said.
Fuu found all this strange, but obeyed. She kissed Kenshin on his cheek and went off to the kitchen. Her father looked at her and smiled.
Fuu entered the kitchen expecting to find her mother, but instead, there was a man. A shape she was all too familiar. Fuu's eyes widened as she got closer to see him. He was apparently trying to figure out how the oven worked when he turned to see her. Fuu's legs trembled and tears formed on her eyes. "Ferio…" she managed to say. Ferio looked at her with surprise and without saying a thing he embraced her.
Fuu felt his arms around her body. His breath over her head. His heart… it was not a dream. It was him. Fuu let her tears flow and hugged him back. Ferio smelled her hair. He felt like in heaven. He had wished for this for five years, and finally they were together. He thouhgt that, maybe, because of time, things may have felt akward, but it wasn't like that. It was exaclty as he remebered. So, without fear he rose her chin with his hand, he looked into her eyes. Her beautiful eyes and kissed her lips softly. A gift from the gods. She returned the kiss as he grabed her waist and drew her closer to his body.
Fuu got her arms around his neck as they deepen the kiss, as if no time had pass at all. As if it was just yesterday when they last kissed. All the passion they'd been keeping for five years. All their love transmited in one kiss. Fuu broke the kiss as she put her hand on his cheek and smiled. That day was the worst ever, but somehow, Ferio made it. And he was there for her, once again. Her support, her soulmate. And she would never be able to thank him enough.
Ferio brushed away some hair back to her ear, looking at her. "Fuu…" he said at last.
"Ferio, I was… I've missed you so much." She said hugging him again. Ferio hold her.
"I know… I've missed you to… like hell. But now we are together, that's what matters." Fuu nodded and smiled. "How?" she asked suddenly realizing he was there and not the other way around.
Ferio smiled. "We must thank Zazu, for his incredible brain." He said hugging her. Fuu smiled. Fuu rested her head on his chest when suddenly she realized of something. She got away form him. Ferio didn't know.
"What is it?" he said concerned. Fuu looked at him… how to tell him?
"Ferio… I need… I need you to come with me." She said taking his hand and dragging him to the leaving room.
Ferio walked behind Fuu wondering what was it? When they got to te leaving room he saw a figure of someone sleeping on the couch. The figure was that of a child. Fuu smiled and got near the boy. She carefully drove Ferio near her. Ferio didn't understand what was all about until he saw the boy.
There, lit by a fade light, lied a boy. A boy with green hair, a boy that resembled just to him. Ferio then got it. And looked at Fuu's eyes. Tears forming on his eyes. He looked at the boy again.
"He…he is our..?" he managed to ask. Fuu smiled and nodded gently.
"Our son…" he finished. He got on his knees right beside the couch. And gently touched the boy's cheek.
He turned to Fuu and hold her hand. "I am a father…" he said, a smile appearing on his face.
On the other side of the room. Fuu's parents watched the couple… at last her daughter would be happy. And they thanked whatever force made that wish come true.
