The next two chapters are probably going to be filler, staring Ferio and Fuu. I'll go back to Hikaru and Umi in a couple of chapters, so don't worry. I don't own MKR.
Chapter 20
"Fuu! Fuu, wake up!" a voice called out.
Fuu squinted her eyes, trying to clear them. "Gin…" she started. As her eyes finally cleared, she saw Gin's big scared eyes staring at her, moist with unshed tears.
"Oh, Fuu!" Gin cried as she threw herself at the wind guardian.
"Gin…" Fuu comforted while trying to figure out where they are. But since it seemed to be night, all she could see was blackness.
Gin clutched onto Fuu, but stopped crying. She wiped her tears and looked up at Fuu. "Where are we?"
Not wanting to alarm the girl, Fuu put on a smile. "I'm not sure right now, but we'll be fine."
Gin nodded. "OK…" She sat on Fuu's lap and leaned into her, clutching onto her shirt.
Fuu left her arms around the girl as she tried to remember what happened. But her thoughts were cut short when a bright light hit her face.
"Ow…" she murmured, shielding her eyes from the light from the door. Blinking, she could see a figure that seemed about almost 6 foot and she was 90 percent sure it was a male.
"Who are you?" Fuu called out, a little wary.
The figure walked in, blocking the light. Fuu shut her eyes to get used to the sudden darkness then opened them again.
Standing in front of her was a boy about her age, maybe older, with shoulder length purple hair in a low ponytail & bright orange eyes. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a black t-shirt and black sneakers.
"My name is Hiroshi and I found you in the forest." He walked in and Fuu noticed he was carrying something. She automatically put Gin behind her and reached toward her weapon, only to find her glove gone!
"Where's my glove?" she asked, glaring at Hiroshi.
He ignored it and put what he was carrying down. "Don't worry, it's in a safe place." He smiled. "When you're ready to come out, just come on." He walked out, shutting the door.
The two girls sat in silence until Gin crawled over to what he put down. "It's sushi!" she exclaimed, reaching for a roll, but Fuu smacked her hand.
"No! We don't know if it's safe to eat or not." She took a deep breath. "I'll go." She took a tiny piece off of one and stuck it in her mouth.
Gin watched as she chewed the small piece up, waiting. Fuu swallowed and nodded. "It's fine."
Gin grinned and began to eat. Fuu laughed at her, but grabbed some as well.
When they finished, Fuu stood up. "Are you ready to go check this place out?"
Gin stood up and grabbed Fuu's hand. She just nodded, silently.
Fuu smiled. "All right." They walked out the door and looked around their surroundings.
At the moment, they seemed to be in a hallway. It was a normal hallway; carpet on the floor, pictures on the wall, that kind of stuff. But what interested Fuu was the fact that he had a dagger on the wall.
Reaching up to touch it, she jumped when Hiroshi shouted, "Don't touch that!"
Fuu bowed. "I am so sorry, Sir Hiroshi. Please forgive me."
Hiroshi glanced at the dagger, then at Fuu. "It's fine, Fuu. You don't have to bow or call me sir."
Fuu stood up, shocked. "How do you know me?"
Hiroshi began to walk back. "Lets just say I've been watching you."
Fuu exchanged glances with Gin and they hurried after him. He lead them into what seemed to be a living room.
"Come. Sit." He motioned as he sat in a chair. The two girls sat on the couch and sat 'properly.'
Hiroshi grinned. "We're so polite, aren't we?"
Gin giggled, but Fuu frowned. "It is always good to have good etiquette." She clasped her hands together on her lap and sat up straight.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Hiroshi making fun of her. Against her own instinct, she laughed.
"I guess it was kind of weird." she admitted, leaning back and crossing her legs. Gin copied her exactly, except her legs didn't reach the floor.
"Was the sushi good?" he asked.
"It was really good, Sir Hiroshi." Fuu started, but Hiroshi stopped her.
"Please, just Hiroshi. I'm no more important than you…" he paused. "Well, that's true since you are the Magic Knight of Wind & holder of the jewel of Kaze."
Fuu stared at him, feeling twitchy. "How did you know about the jewel?"
Hiroshi froze, eyes panicking. Fuu saw this and slowly began to scoot towards Gin. "Um…it was nice meeting you, but we must go." Fuu said as she grabbed Gin's hand and began to walk backwards to the door.
Hiroshi stood up, eyes blazing. "You will not leave until I get what I want." he said in a darker voice.
Fuu pushed Gin behind her and looked for something to defend with. "Who are you, really?"
Hiroshi laughed. "I'm actually Hiroshi, but I work for the other side." He called out a large gun and pointed it at the girls.
Fuu froze as Gin whimpered and Hiroshi cackled. "Not very brave now, are we, Miss Wind?"
Fuu glared at him. "At least let Gin go. She has nothing to do with this."
Hiroshi looked at the whimpering girl and sighed. "Fine, but only her."
Fuu bent down to Gin. "Gin, listen. I need you to do me a favor."
Gin shook her head. "No, Fuu. Come with me."
Fuu shook her own head. "I can't, but I need you to go to the village. Can you find your way?"
When Gin nodded, Fuu went on. "OK, find Prince Ferio & tell him I'm in trouble. You understand?"
Gin nodded her head slowly. "But what about you?" she asked.
"I'll be fine, but you need to go now."
Gin hesitated, then threw her arms around Fuu's shoulders. Fuu, surprised, hugged the girl back. When Gin pulled back, she whispered. "Be careful, big sister." She stood up and ran out the door.
Fuu watched her go, then stood up and faced Hiroshi. "OK, lets do this." she said seriously.
"Yes, lets." he answered.
Meanwhile, Gin was running through the woods, trying hard not to cry. She finally reached the village an hour later and collapsed on the ground.
"Gin!" a voice called out as Gin looked up in time to be hugged to death by her mother.
"Ugh, Momma. You're hurting me."
The mother stopped and wiped her eyes. "Sorry, sweetie. I was just worried." She stood up. "We both were."
Gin smiled, then gasped. "Where's Prince Ferio?"
The father answered that. "He went out with the other two to look for some food."
Gin nodded and ran off, ignoring the yells from her mother & father. She ran into the forest, shouting out. "Prince Ferio! Prince Ferio!"
When no one answered, she stopped & took a breather. "I have to help big sister!" she gasped out, then stood up and ran again.
After 10 minutes, she was lost and confused. "Prince Ferio…" her voice was hoarse from yelling.
She coughed and took one more step. Unfortunately, that step was a slippery step. She slid down, screaming at the top of her lungs as she hit bushes & trees.
She finally stopped by rolling onto her back and staring into the sky. "Ow…" she mumbled as she breathed hard.
"Gin?" a voice said.
The girl looked up to see three men. Her eyes landed on the one with green hair. "Prince Ferio!" she coughed.
He nodded as he bent down to help her up. "Yeah, what's wrong? And where's Fuu?"
Gin coughed again. "She's…in trouble…"
Ferio's heart almost stopped. "What do you mean?"
"Well, when we woke up, we were in a cell & this guy named Hiroshi took out this huge gun and said that Fuu had something he wanted." Gin finished, coughing some more.
Ferio helped her stand up. "Where is she?"
Gin pointed in the direction where she had ran from. "It took me an hour to get here."
Ferio turned to Ascot, who nodded. He created a flying monster that Ferio jumped on. But before he took off, Gin ran up to him. "Please take me! I want to help big sister."
Ferio frowned. "You might get hurt."
Gin began to try to crawl on. "I don't care. I want to help. Plus I can tell you where to go."
Ferio sighed. "Fine, but if your parents find out, I'm dead." He turned to the other two. "If they ask, say that she's in the woods playing."
Lantis nodded. "Sure. Be careful."
Ferio nodded. "I will." He kicked the monster in the side & both him and Gin flew off to save Fuu.
