Chapter 4-We Finally Meet
Sunlight flowed through an open window. Morning had come. The group of four was waking up. They slept in a spare classroom at the school. There was not furniture. Therefore, there was plenty of space to find a place to rest their head.
The young girl Sakura took in the view from the window. "Wow, the view here is really beautiful"
"Yes, it is a beautiful city. A real pleasant place to live in" said Fai, "Not to mention, this school"
"It is amazing to think that the Kurogane and Fai for this world started it. Education must have been important to them," said Shauron
"That might be true. I wonder what they were like," said Fai
"That is not why are we are here for. Have you forgotten? Finding the feather is the main goal. We cannot waste time searching about these people were"
"You are not even interest about the other Kurgie," asked Fai
"No" Kurogane said
"Not even a little" Fai further inquired with his finger and thumb a centimeter apart
"Not even a little" repeated Mokana as he hopped on Kurogane's head
"Not if have nothing to do with the feather, now get off"
There was a small knock on the door. Eagle and Lantis entered the room. "Good Morning "said Eagle
"Moring" Fai, Sakura, and Shauron greeted
"I hope you all had pleasant night sleep. Despite you had to sleep in vacant classroom"
"Oh no, it was fine. We understand that it could cause a situation," said Shauron
"You are not expecting us to stay in this room the whole time" Kurogane spoke
"Of course not" said Eagle, "We actually came here to let you know. That today merchants come and conduct business in the market square. If there as any strange activity, they would hear about it. We are more then happy to introduce you. This will also provide a chance to explain to everyone why you are here. In addition, have them know that you are not the real Fai and Kurogane back from the death or the you are trying to trick them"
"Still, understand that not everyone would going to be understanding," said Lantis
"We know see someone that suppose to dead, alive again, could cause a commotion" said Shauron
"Still, sooner or later someone is going to find out about us," said Kurogane
"That is why we feel can that it is best to get it clear up as soon as possible" replied Lantis
Several miles away, Fiona was skipping down the stairs. As Kasey, slowly came down came behind her. "Don't be so down, it is a beautiful morning. Besides, it is only two weeks," Fiona, said with a simile
"You do not have to remind me," groaned Kasey, "Besides, that not what is on my mind"
"Oh, what is it" Fiona asked curiously
"None of your business"
"Oh, come on. Kasey" Fiona beckons in a childish tone as she tugged on Kasey's arm, "we should not keep secrets for each other. We are like sisters"
"Even sisters do not tell each everything. There might be secrets that you are keeping from me"
"If I told you a secret of mine, you tell me yours"
"Fine" Kasey sighed
"Alright, here is my secret," whispered Fiona, "I have a crush on Domeki"
Domeki was a fellow schoolmate of theirs. He started attending the school, when his family moved to Lore three years ago. He was a very skilled archer. Therefore, he was taking the warrior courses. Kasey would be more associated with him. Fiona, for the first time that she laid eyes on him, she fell in love with him.
"That no really a secret"
"What" Fiona exclaimed
"I was there when it all began of it all" said Kasey, "I do not know why you feel that you should keep it a secret. You should at least try to get a date with him"
"But there is an age difference between us"
"Only by two years"
They continue to the kitchen. Kasey went to see what Caldina was cooking for breakfast. There is some porridge cooking in a large pot simmering. A honey aroma fills the air. Kasey was to eat. Fiona stood in the center of the room. She stared at outside through the window. She was in deep thought.
"I wonder, if he would approve," said Fiona to herself. However, it was loud enough that Kasey heard her.
"Who," Kasey asked
"My father," Fiona told her "I mean, not just on a young man I want to be with. Would he think that I was taking my life in a direction that is good?"
"He would want you to be happy. If you remember, I had the strict father"
"That is because you tend to be mischievous," said Caldina as she came out of the pantry
"I was not that bad. Besides I grew up since then" Kasey protested
"Is that why you are grounded" Caldina laughed
Kasey scratched the back of her head. Caldina gave each a bowl of porridge. Both sat at the table. Just then, Kasey remembers something that she had to do. However, she could not.
"Fiona, could you do me a favor. I took my sword to the blacksmith. Would mine pick it for me? It is the one the Domeki's family own"
"Sure"
About an hour later, Fiona was heading towards the blacksmith shop. She was going over what to say if she came across Domeki. She did not want to come off as a too hyperactive. She would act refine and intelligence.
She stood peering in the window of the shop. She squeals when she saw Domeki working behind the counter. After collected herself, she enter the store. "Oh, it is you, Fiona. What brings you here?"
"Hi, Domeki" she said shyly, "Oh, I am here to pick up Kasey's sword"
"Why doesn't she come and pick herself?" he asked
"That is a long story"
"She got in trouble again, huh"
"Basically"
He just shrugged. Then, he brought Kasey's sword. Fiona took the sword. She did not leave. After taking a deep breath, she asked him.
"Would like to get together at sometime"
"Sure, would tomorrow afternoon be alright"
"Yes, I will meet in the market square"
Fiona exited the store. Once the door closed, she jumped up and down. She went into a death spent. Kasey would be so excited about this news. However, Fiona was not watching where was going, because she knocked right in a person. She drop Kasey's sword.
"Oh, I so sorry sir" she apologize
"You need to careful," the man said as he picks up the sword off the ground
"I know, when I get excited I am not aware of my surroundings" Fiona replied. When she went to take the sword from him, her eyes widen. "Master Kurogane" she said in a whisper, but it was loud enough for him to hear.
"About that" he began
"Oh, Kurgie, did someone recognizes you", said a blond hair at came up behind him. Tears slowly came down her cheeks. Both of her hand went over her gapping mouth.
"Dad" she whispered
This took both men by surprise and the rest of the group. They did not except this. Base off the information they got form Eagle and Lantis to them. It was thought that everyone was going to be surprise to see the. However, to hear someone calling one of them their father, never cross their minds.
Lantis and Eagle came over to the group. Fiona ran over to them. "Master Eagle, why do look like them. Why does the one look like my father?" she sobbed. He wrapped her in his arms.
"Might be we should have told them first," he said to Lantis
"Who is she" asked Shauron
"Her name is Fiona. She is the daughter of the Fai of this world"
"What, Fai had a kid" said Mokana
"Not him, the other one" shouted Kurogane
Fai approached Fiona. He extended his hand towards her. "I am very sorry for your lose. He must have loved you very much. My intends were not to bring such painful memories"
"Do not worry," said Fiona, she shook his hand. "All of the memories just came flowing back so quickly. It is not your fault. It is a pleasure to meet you, Fai"
