Chapter 15

I Love You to the Very End

5 years after Fuu departed from Japan, she has been a successful woman. She wrote a book about her life, and it became a best seller in Japan and the U.S. Back in Japan, Ferio had found a new girlfriend, named Yoko. It was only a way to hide his sadness that he wouldn't see Fuu for a long time. Sano, still in a coma has been getting weaker and weaker, his mother and father have been at his side everyday, hoping that one day he will awaken.

"Hon, I'm back from China!" Yoko yelled, she slipped her slippers of and ran inside with her bags. She walked into the bedroom with a smile on, to find Ferio asleep, as usual. Ferio was now 23, taking the "family business" as a lawyer; he is one of the finest lawyers in Japan. He still resides in Hokkaido, where he bought his house right before he found out about Fuu leaving to the U.S. He hoped one day that Fuu would come back, but the hope was fading away.

Ferio awoke and looked forward, with his chin to his neck.

He smiled, "Yoko, you're back! I missed you!" Ferio cheered happily as he got off the bed, baring his muscular arms and stomach, he walked up to Yoko and hugged her. He smelt Yoko's hair, and it reminded him of Fuu. He shook the thought out of his head, and kissed Yoko.

"Why are you just in your boxers, it's already 12, you've been sleeping in too much." Yoko said as she put the bags on the side of the bed and walked out of the room.

"Get a shirt on and come to the kitchen, I have lots of food and souvenirs. Ferio stood at the door, examining his sexy girlfriend. She had beautiful silky black hair, curvaceous hips which were hugged by Yoko's tight jeans, and a face of an angel.

"What are you staring at, come over here silly." Yoko giggled; she took out several things from the bag and set them on the table.

"Ooh, Chinese food, yes!" Ferio said with his eyes glued to rice dumplings and moon cakes. Yoko opened the boxes, picked one, and put it into Ferio's mouth. Ferio smiled and kissed her playfully. He got up and kissed her, walking to the bedroom at the same time. Yoko broke the kiss and giggled, "I knew you would want to the second I came back." Ferio slammed the door closed, hearing giggles and moans from behind the door.

All the way in the New York City Fuu walked out of her apartment complex with a few paparazzi hiding behind bushes. Fuu moved to The Big Apple after her big break, The Cherry Blossom Tree, which is based on all the things she had gone through, in Hokkaido, in Korea, and in the U.S. She lives with Makino & her publicist/friend, Lynne. Fuu has also become very fluent in English, but with a hint of that Japanese accent. Makino and Lynne followed from behind, with Soo Nam (the kitty) following behind, they finally caught up to her.

"Why are you going so fast, you even forgot your bags." Makino muttered handing her suitcase and Chanel bag.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so excited to go back to Japan and see Ferio and Sano!" Fuu cheered, still the little kid she is, even at 22.

"Why did you have to drag us along with you? I need to know again." Lynne repeated, for the fifth time.

Fuu sighed, "Because, I need another inspiration for my next book, I told you a hundred times Lynne!" Fuu called a taxi and it immediately stopped for them, they put their suitcases in the back and got in the car.

"International Airport, please." Lynne ordered the driver, but in a nice way.

Makino and Lynne face Fuu, and listed the things they needed.

Tickets- check

Passport- check

Make-up- check

Cell phones- check

Clothes- check

"Ok, good, we have everything, now let's go to Japan, Yeah!" Makino cheered as the rest of the girls followed with a "woooh!" and a "yay!"

----The Next Day----

"Oh my gosh, after so many hours, were here!" Fuu yelled stretching and jumping up and down. People from time to time would notice her, some even came up for an autograph, and others just pointed her out to his or her friends or family.

"Wow, Japan's air smells so good!" Lynne said taking a deep breath.

"Gosh, the last time I was at this airport was 5 years ago," Fuu muttered to herself as she turned around and looked at the airplane from afar. Makino got a cab and she and Lynne got in, not noticing Fuu.

"Oh…" Makino said to herself, forgetting something. Makino stuck her head out the window, "Fuu! What the heck are you doing, let's go!" Fuu turned around with a gasp and quickly ran to the cab and put her stuff in.

"Let's go visit my boyfriend!" Fuu suggested, then giving the address to the driver. Ferio had given Fuu her address over the phone a few years back, and that was the last time they talked, ever since Fuu has been so busy and all. Makino and Lynne giggled in their little corner.

"I wouldn't really call him your boyfriend anymore, Fuu. You haven't talked in 3 years." Makino pointed out, as Fuu sighed and looked out the window. She hasn't looked out a window and thought for a long time. A tear fell down her face, and she quickly wiped it away. Makino examined her, and leaned forward a bit to see Fuu's face.

"Are you okay, Fuu?" Lynne asked in a worried tone. Fuu sniffled and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Ferio's Home

"Hon, I'm going to go out to get a couple groceries, real quick, will you be okay?" Yoko yelled from the door as she picked up her purse. All the way from the couch Ferio yelled, "Yeah! I'll be fine, but why do you always have to treat e like a baby?" Ferio complained, knowing the answer she would give.

Ferio mouthed the words the same time Yoko said it. "Because you're my baby." Ferio heard the door slam and he just laid down on the couch watching TV.

30 minutes later, outside their driveway the cab pulled over and Fuu, Makino, and Lynne got out. Lynne took her sunglasses off to examine the enormous house.

"Wow, your boyfriend must be rich." Lynne said closing the door.

"Here's the money, thank you." Makino thanked the cab and it left.

"Oh my gosh, Makino, I don't know what to do, how am I supposed to go knock on that door out of nowhere! For all we know, he could be married with a kid already… I can't do this!" Fuu roved on and on hugging Makino and Lynne.

"Don't worry, we'll go with you." Lynne said, taking her hand and dragging her to the front door.

"Now… ring the doorbell." Makino guided her hand, she took her index finger, and pushed it on the doorbell.

"Oh no, I'm going to run away!" Fuu yelled turning around, but Lynne and Makino held her back and turned her around as the door opened.

Oh my gosh, I can't do this anymore, oh my god! He looks so sophisticated! Fuu yelled in her mind, no one talked, Ferio stood there, wide eyed.

"Ferio, it's me!" Fuu yelled, with tears in her eyes, as she hugged Ferio. Ferio still stood there, frozen.

Fuu, your back… Ferio thought, as he slowly lifted his arms, and hugged her tight. Fuu cried and sobbed loudly.

"I missed you." Fuu said, looking into his eyes, she gave a worried look on her face, Ferio was looking behind her, and she turned around. Yoko stood behind Lynne and Makino, her jaw dropped, and the groceries fell to the ground.

"Who are you?" Yoko yelled pushing Lynne and Makino out of the way, and stomped up to Fuu. Soo Nam jumped out of the way, quietly hissing at Yoko.

"I'm Ferio's girlfriend, aren't I?" Fuu turned around, and Ferio had nothing to say. He looked down, and saw Soo Nam. What the… Soo Nam gave a meow and wagged her tail.

"Who's this girl Ferio?" Fuu yelled, her eyes tearing up.

"Oh, you bitch!" Yoko pulled Fuu's hair and she lost balance.

"Let go of me, you!" Fuu yelled kicking Yoko's stomach.

"Oh god! Stop it you two!" Makino yelled breaking them up. Lynne stood there, not knowing what was happening, but she guessed the obvious.

"Ferio, how could you!" Fuu and Yoko said at the same time. Ferio stood there, sweating, and tried to look away, but there was nothing else to look at.

"I thought, you said you love me." Fuu said, as a tear raced down her cheek. She shook her head in pity, and ran off.

"Fuu, wait!" Lynne called running after her. Makino looked at Ferio, disgusted.

"You know, everyday, she would talk about you? She even dedicated her book to you! And you go and get with another girl! How dare you!" Makino walked up to him, and slapped his face and stomped away.

"Yoko, I can-" Yoko screamed in frustration and slapped him.

"So this is the girl your friends said you loved, huh! I thought all that was over, but you still love her don't you…?" Yoko said calming down, she walked inside the house, shoving Ferio out of the way. Ferio fell to the ground and sat next to the wall.

"Fuu, I'm sorry…" Ferio watched Fuu stomp up the hill, where sanbanchijin is. He looked inside the house, and went in.

Fuu stomped up the hill, with mixed emotions. How could he do this?

"Fuu! Stop!" Lynne called, tiring out, she fell on the grass and sat down. "Settle… down!" She yelled, panting.

"We should let her be, let's leave her alone." Makino suggested, sitting next to her as they watched Fuu scream and yell.

"Sanbanchijin, you were supposed to protect us!" Fuu yelled, kicking it's stump and shaking the branches. She pounded on it, and cried, she gave up and slid down to the ground. Fuu looked to her left, and something was inscribed on the wall.

Ferio&Fuu

4ever

Fuu stared at it, and put her palm on it, next to it was a date; it was just a few days ago that he wrote it. Fuu's heart said to go back, and apologize. But she was to stubborn to go, and that was when Soo Nam trotted up to her, giving her a wide eyed adorable kitty look.

"Gosh, Soo Nam, you're getting to old to be giving me advice…" Fuu said crossing her arms and looking up at the sky. She felt in her pocket, and the sanbanchijin figurine was there, where she kept it. Soo Nam walked up to her and rubbed her head on her leg.

"Ohh! I know what you're tying to do! Well I'm not going back there, risking my hair getting pulled out!" Fuu crossed her arms, "Hmph!" Soo Nam did her usual, cute eyes thing, and Fuu gave up.

"Fine! But if my hair gets pulled out, I'm shaving your fur." Fuu yelled as she got up and walked back towards the house, as Soo Nam ran away in fear. Fuu passed Makino and Lynne, without even looking at them.

"Wait, Fuu, where are you going?" Lynne asked getting up, but Makino stopped her once again.

"This is between her, and her boyfriend." Makino warned, "But I need to see what's going to happen, c'mon!" Makino got up and they both giggled and followed behind Fuu.

"Do you love this girl, Ferio?" Yoko yelled, neighbors were looking out there windows, some were even shoving there ear to the screen of there window. Fuu was about to barge in, when she heard the commotion going on inside, she hid at the side of the door, trying not to be seen.

"I- do love her…" Ferio finally confessed, after 3 years of being together. Yoko stood there, with a blank expression on her face, as a tear starting racing down, and then dropped onto her shirt.

"All this time, I was just a temporary replacement…" Yoko said, as she wiped the tears from her face, and then walked into her room. Ferio stood there, his eyes shut trying to hold back the tears. He heard Yoko yelling out how stupid she was to love Ferio, and how wasteful it was to lose her virginity to him. Fuu raised an eyebrow, What? VIRGINITY… You lost it… to Ferio?

Yoko came out of the room with her bags and a suitcases, I'll come back for my other stuff next week, I love you very much Ferio. I hope you will be happy with Fuu, I- I'm…" Yoko's voice trailed off, she was trying to hold her tears back. Within a moment she walked up to him, and kissed him for the last time.

"Goodbye, Ferio." Yoko said as she got her cell phone out to order a taxi.

"He watched her walk out of the house, and the door slam shut.

Fuu had a faint gasp as Yoko looked at her after she had shut the door. But instead of slapping her, Yoko just smiled, and she caressed Fuu's cheek with her palm.

"You're lucky, I guess it was never meant to be. Take care of him, okay?" Yoko's voice was shaky, as her tears starting coming out again. She looked out, as the taxi pulled over at the driveway, and she walked. Fuu watched her put her things in the trunk.

"Y-Yoko! It's Yoko right? I promise, I'll take care of him" Fuu said, Yoko smiled.

"You really are a nice girl, take care, Fuu." Fuu nodded her head as Yoko got in the cab, and left.

Fuu looked at the door, wanting to go in so bad, she ran desperately inside, and stopped. Ferio sat on the ground, with tears in his eyes. Fuu felt her pocket again, and took out the figurine and held it out.

"Look, I kept it safe." Fuu said as she cried and ran to him.

"I missed you so much Ferio." Fuu said as she hugged him. Ferio hugged her back.

"I missed you too. I'm sorry Fuu, I destroyed our relationship." Ferio said in a guilty tone.

"No! You didn't hon, I'm not mad." Fuu looked at him, and they kissed, they both stood up, still kissing, as Makino, Lynne, and Soo Nam watched from the front door.

"Let's give them some privacy." Lynne suggested, as she slowly closed the door. The two love birds, were still kissing, you could here them breathing loud. They both sweated as Ferio slammed her onto the wall, and Fuu moaned as he sucked on her neck, and they stopped real quickly, to look at each other.

"Do you want to do this?" Ferio asked, still breathing heavily with sweat on his forehead.

"Oh, I've been waiting my whole life for this!" Fuu giggled and they kissed again, as Ferio lifted her up and took her to the room, and slammed the door.

After the steamy hour Fuu flipped from Ferio's chest to the bed, covering her breast. She turned to her side and looked at Ferio, with a smile.

"I love you." Fuu said, kissing his soft and warm lips.

"Fuu, I want to give you something. He opened the side table drawer, opened a box, which hap another back, and opened that box and took the smaller one out. He turned to his side to show the box to her. Fuu gasped, knowing what was coming next.

"Fuu, will you marry me?" Ferio opened the box, containing a beautiful golden ring. In the middle, was a pink colored jewel, with one cherry blossom shaped leaf, which was made up of diamonds on each corner.

"Oh my god, Ferio!" Fuu yelled covering her mouth in great shock.

"I bought it the week after you left, knowing it would be awhile before you came back, I kept it." Ferio smiled as a happy tear fell down Fuu's face.

"Yes, I will marry you!" Fuu yelled as she put her clothes on and jumped on him.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Fuu yelled happily as she hugged him.

"I love you to the very end, Fuu." Ferio whispered into her ear.

"I love you to the very end also, Ferio." Fuu also whispered into his ear.

In the hospital, Kayeda was asleep on the chair, as Sano's head started to move.

"Hn, Soo Nam… I love you…" Kayeda suddenly woke up, hearing the words that were coming out of his mouth. Sano was pail and skinny, he has been in a coma for 5 years. Sano's eyes opened slowly, his sight was hazy, but it came clear, the first thing he saw was his mom, who looked older since she last saw her.

"Mom, why do you look, so old?" Kayeda cried, and yelled for the nurse.

"Sano, you've been in a coma for 5 years." Kayeda said to him, the nurse came into the room, and she gasped.

"Oh, your son Mrs. Nakashima, he's awake!" The nurse said in shock.

"5 years?" Sano was so surprised, it felt only like a second in darkness before his eyes opened.

"Yes, your father's at work, we have to call him." Kayeda said taking her cell phone out.

"Wait, mom, where's Fuu?" Sano asked, desperately. Kayeda looked down, not wanting Sano to know.

"She moved to America the day you tried to kill yourself." Kayeda said, and Sano gasped. He remembered everything that happened, and that was why he was in a coma.

"I'm sorry mom. I must have made your life hell!" Sano said with tears.

"No, it's alright."

Later, Kayeda told Sano that Fuu had written a best seller in America and Japan. And Sano smiled, happy for her. And he overheard some nurses talking.

"Did you hear, I heard that author, Fuu, came to Japan, she's in Hokkaido right now!" Sano gasped, and slowly took out the IV in his arm.

"Wait, Sano, where are you going?" Kayeda yelled from the door as Sano put the clothes on he was wearing before.

He took a cab, and gave the driver the address.

Ferio and Fuu walked to sanbanchijin, where Lynne and Makino were playing with Soo Nam.

"You guys made up?" Makino asked eagerly. Fuu and Ferio looked at each other and smiled.

"I guess that's a yes." Lynne signaled, as a car pulled over. It was Sano, and he got out and tried ti run up the hill.

"Fuu, Ferio!" Sano called, panting. Fuu turned around, and gasped.

"Sano! What happened toy you, you're so skinny!" Fuu yelled running up to him and hugging him.

"I didn't even get to say goodbye." Ferio walked up to them.

"Sano, you're alive!" Ferio said, leaving Fuu in a confused state.

"What, what do you mean?" Fuu asked, as Makino, Lynne, and Soo Nam walked up to them.

"I-I was in a coma until 30 minutes ago." Sano said, as Fuu gasped and covered her mouth in shock.

"Oh my gosh, I didn't even know!" Fuu said as she embraced Sano.

"I'm fine now." Sano reassured Fuu, and they all laughed. Ferio and Fuu looked at each other. Fuu gave the signal for Ferio to announce the big news.

"Ok you guys, for our whole lives, both of us have always wanted this. In two years of planning, we will get married!" Ferio said as they all gasped and hugged them, with Soo Nam and Sano's shoulder.

"Hey little girl, you look familiar." Sano said, petting her as Soo Nam licked his cheek.

"So, what are we waiting for, we better start planning and organizing!" Makino yelled in Japanese, and then said it to Lynne in English.

"Yeah!" They all said, throwing their hands up.

"To life and love you guys!" Sano cheered as they all laughed and huddled together.

"Ferio, I want you to be the best man." Ferio pointed out.

"And Makino, I want you to be my matron of honor." Fuu said, as Lynne frowned hearing the word matron of honor. "And you Lynne, you can be the wedding planner," Fuu added, Lynne then smiled, knowing the obvious since she was Fuu's publicist.

"I really trust in all of you guys." Ferio added. "And you, my little cat, will be the flower kitten!" Fuu said to Soo Nam as she purred and licked Fuu's face.

"YAY!" They all yelled and laughed as they walked to sanbanchijin to catch up.

--Two Years Later--

"Oh my gosh, after all that planning, the day is finally here!" Fuu yelled as she got off the bed and stretched. Ferio had stayed at Sano's house, since it was bad luck to see the groom before the wedding.

"Fuu, let's go! The make-up artist and photographer are here!" Makino called from downstairs. Fuu got her slippers on.

"Okay, I'll be there in just a sec!"

Makino, Lynne, Emeruade, Hikaru, and Umi had already gotten their hair and make up done. There bride's maids dresses were gorgeous, it was made up of a beautiful white corset with a hazy pink ribbon around the bust. And a gorgeous cherry blossom colored dress, with pearl necklaces.

Sano, Eagle, Kon, Lantis, and Ascot had just arrived, to escort their partners to the wedding in the entourage limousine. (Pairs are in order Sano & Makino, Lynne & Eagle, Kon & Emeruade, Hikaru & Lantis, and Umi & Ascot.)

After a grueling hair do and make-up session Fuu came out of the room, as beautiful as ever. Her hair was curled back, with pink barrettes shaped as cherry blossom leaves. He dress was gorgeous; it was a white corset, with a pink bead design that had wavy lines going down from the top. The dress was white with a pretty pink beaded design at the hem. She had light pink pearls on, and diamond earrings that looked like a flower blooming with jade crystals as the leaves.

"Ok everyone, let's get to sanbanchijin!" Fuu cheered putting her glass pumps on. Everyone cheered as the whole entourage got in the limo and drove away.

At the tree the tables were set in the back, and all the guests were sitting in the chars, which were covered by a white cloth and then a pink see through cloth over it. The alter was set up in front of sanbanchijin, it had a big arch with pink and white roses growing on it. It was a beautiful day for a wedding, and even sanbanchijin looked happy. Ferio was waiting with the rest of the people who were invited to the ceremony. The priest came up to him.

"Nervous?" He asked. They both laughed.

"Yeah, I've been waiting my whole life for this." Ferio said to him, with inspiring eyes.

"They're here!" A women called, as the limo stopped from outside. The next hour, the ceremony started. Mika Nakashima performed her song, Sakurairo Mau Koro, as the entourage walked up the isle arm in arm. And at the very moment, Fuu walked up the isle, with Uncle Kenji and Aunt Mako, and her parents there in spirit. When she got up to the face of the alter, Fuu thanked her uncle and aunt, and kissed them on the cheek, and joined Ferio, with the entourage at each side.

After everything else, the priest asked for them to say there vows.

"Fuu, I loved you the first day we met, at this same exact place 20 years ago. I never thought we would have to go through so much, and I know Soo Nam is happy for us, in her new form." Soo Nam purred, holding the tiny cherry blossom petal basket. "I will help you, through richer and poorer, and I love you to the very end." Ferio said, trying to hold back his tears, but Fuu just let it all out, and they were happy tears, this time. Fuu sniffled.

"Ferio, I loved you since the first day we met, right here. I'm so sorry I had to put you through hell these past years, and we've come a long way, still strong and happy. I love you to the very end." The guests clapped as the groom and the bride cried, and smiled at each other.

"Now, Fuu, do you take Ferio, as your husband, forever?" The priest asked her. Fuu nodded. "Yes, I do."

"And Ferio, do you take, Fuu, to be your lawfully wedded wife, forever?"

"Yes, I do." The guests were touched by the great deal of happiness, and some even cried, including Aunt Mako, who was so happy for her niece she cried all over Uncle Kenji.

"By the country of Japan, and Hokkaido, I now pronounce you, Husband, & Wife. You may kiss the bride." Ferio took Fuu in her arms as they kissed each other, passionately. Everyone clapped, and gave them a standing ovation. After the kiss the two smiled at everyone, and thanked them.

"Thank you everyone, you've been so great!" Fuu announced to the entourage as they took a drink of wine.

"Yeah!" Kon cheered. They all laughed in happiness.

"And I have a surprise for you two." Lynne said taking out two tickets from her bag.

"For your honeymoon, you guys are going to Milan, Italy!" Lynne announced as they all screamed and gasped.

"Oh my god, Lynne, you're the best!" Fuu and Ferio said, staring at the tickets. They both hugged Lynne, and after the reception, Fuu and Ferio went back to the house.

"So, Ferio, I want us to have a kid." Fuu said, as she took off her dress, to reveal a sexy lingerie, and stood up, to model for Ferio.

"Oh yeah baby!" Ferio, said, as they both laughed and slammed the door shut till laughing and kissed.
