Hearts Reunited - Chapter 20: Kouu

Purin-chan: I almost forgot!!!!!!! If anyone wants to write a lemon part for Fuu and 
Ferio for this ficcie, I’d be happy to put a link to it! ^_^. Um, no I’m not going to kill 
everyone with this new plot e_e;;;. That would be…bad. I’m just gonna “do” 
something to a couple. You’ll see ^^;. Oh and can we suppose that Hikaru-tachi got 
their magic powers back when they came back to Cephiro? I forgot to get Clef to give 
them their magic again. The title SHOULD mean Rain e_e;;;.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fuu walked around the kitchen cooking breakfast, Ferio right behind her like a loyal 
dog.
“Down boy,” she said turning around to him.
Ferio barked and sat down playfully, causing Fuu to giggle.
(I’m a bit reluctant to start that plot just now. Let the cute mush continue *-*)

“I wonder what’s taking Fuu so long in there,” Umi said.
“Well he is in there with her,” Eagle commented.
“Eagle, his name is Ferio,” Hikaru said, latched onto Lantis’s arm.
“Hey I’m still learning names. And what’s yours?” Eagle asked Ascot.
“Ascot,”
“Muscat?”
“A-S-C-O-T!!!”
Umi and Hikaru giggled.
Fuu came out of the kitchen with breakfast, and Ferio who was acting like a cat now.
“Fuu…what’s wrong with Ferio…” Umi asked.
Fuu set down the food. “Ask him.”
Ferio purred and rubbed against Fuu’s legs, causing her to blush.
“Oh I see,” Umi said, smirking at Fuu.
“Ferio please go to your seat and stop acting like this,” Fuu said trying to stop 
blushing.
Ferio stood up. “Hai!” He walked over to his seat and sat down. Fuu sat down beside 
him.
“So what were you two doing last night?” Umi asked with a devious look.
Fuu’s face turned crimson and she hid behind Ferio.
“You all already know what we were doing last night,” Ferio said. Fuu slapped him 
gently on the back. “What I was just telling them the truth!” he told her playfully.
Everyone else had already dropped their forks/chopsticks, except Hikaru who was still 
oblivious to the entire matter.
“Oh just eat Fuu-chan. Can’t have you getting thin in your state,” Ferio winked at her 
as she got in her chair again. She shoved him off his chair.
“Fuu…are you…” Umi began.
“No I’m not,” Fuu replied.
“Ok. You’re about five years too young anyway,” Umi said starting to eat her 
breakfast.
“So what did Fuu-chan and Ferio do last night?” Hikaru asked.
“Nothing,” everyone else replied simultaneously. 

It was raining outside.
Lantis, Ascot, and Fuu all refused to go out in the rain. They stood on the patio 
watching the others play in the rain.
“Fuu-chan!!! It’s not that bad!!!” Hikaru yelled.
“You could catch a cold,” Fuu yelled back. As if on cue, Umi sneezed. “See?”
“Aww…how ‘bout you Lanti-poo?” Hikaru asked. (hey that rhymes ^_^;)
Lantis shook his head.
“Before you ask, I’m not going out there either,” Ascot said, crossing his arms.
Hikaru shrugged. A game of tag started, Eagle was it. He tagged Hikaru, who tagged 
Ferio, who tagged Umi, who tagged Hikaru, who tagged Eagle… This went on until 
they got tired and lay on their backs, letting the rain fall down on their faces.
“Hey Lantis, if this is the reverse side of Cephiro, how come they have rain here?” 
Eagle asked.
“Not everything is the exact same as the real Cephiro,” Lantis said.
“Sou kaa,” Hikaru said sitting up to stare at the scenery. It all looked like Cephiro, but 
then again it didn’t look like Cephiro. It was hard to explain.
Umi sneezed again.
“I knew someone would catch a cold,” Fuu said, sighing. “Umi-san, I can’t cure illness 
with my magic remember?”
“That’s ok Fuu. It’ll go away by itself,” Umi said, going inside.
Hikaru, Ferio, and Eagle all walked onto the patio where they dried themselves off.
Hikaru jumped into Lantis’s arms. “Can you carry me back? I’m tired,” Hikaru said. 
Lantis nodded and walked back inside the castle with her.
“Those two are such a sweet item,” Umi said, walking past them on her way back 
out. She had changed into some dry clothes.
“Umi-san, you should be resting,” Fuu scolded.
“Well I…err…” Umi sweatdropped. She had only come back out because she was afraid 
of missing something.
Ferio sighed. “I’m bored again,” he said.
That caused everyone else to sigh.

Lantis set Hikaru down on a chair. She was still soaking wet.
“Are you going to change?” he asked her, walking to the door.
Hikaru gave a weak yes. She was falling asleep.
“Hikaru…” He walked over to her. “Why do you make me do these things?” He got a 
pair of dry clothes from her closet and set them down on the bed next to the chair. 
“Hikaru…can you wake up and do this yourself?” he asked her. Hikaru shook her head 
no. Lantis sighed. He took her scarf (or whatever that bow thingie is) off and 
unbuttoned her shirt. Then he turned around. “I’m not helping you anymore…” he said. 
She leaned her head against his back. He sighed and turned around to help her with 
the rest. Lantis helped take her wet shirt off and put on the dry one. He continued by 
taking her skirt off and putting some shorts on her. Then he lay her down on her bed.
“Arigatou, Lanti-poo,” she said. He bent over and kissed her gently on the forehead, 
then left the room, only to be greeted by Umi.
“And what were you doing with Hikaru that entire time?” she asked him with a sly 
look.
“Putting her to bed,” he said, walking past her. He ran into Eagle around the corner.
“And what else?” Eagle asked, smiling.
“Nothing.” Lantis walked by him too.
Ascot was third in line, but he didn’t say anything. Umi ran up and slapped him over 
the head.
“You can’t handle doing things like this can you,” she muttered. Then she turned to 
Lantis. “Is it really nothing? I just checked on Hikaru and found that she had somehow 
changed,” Umi said, devious look appearing back on her face.
Lantis walked by her without saying a word. Halfway down the hall, he heard Umi 
scream something like, “He saw Hikaru naked!!!”. Lantis sweatdropped and walked into 
his room where he sat down on a chair. Two very familiar items were on the table. He 
picked them up and stared at them for a while. Lantis put one on, and took the other 
with him as he walked back towards Hikaru’s room.
(You gotta guess what it is ^_^)

Fuu was walking down the hallway, dragging Ferio who was latched onto her leg and 
wouldn’t let go.
“Ferio, this is overdoing it...” she said, stopping to look down at him.
“But I love you too much to let you go,” he said back with huge puppy dog eyes.
“Did that one night do this to you?” she asked him, putting her hands on her hips. She 
rarely ever did that.
He nodded.
“Then we’re never doing that again,” she said, trying to shake Ferio off her. He 
whined and retreated hesitantly to his room after a while. Fuu sighed. She didn’t want 
to be mean with Ferio, but he was overdoing the love thing. She entered her room, 
the room where it had taken place last night. Fuu laid down on her bed and stared at 
the ceiling. His words kept playing in her mind over and over again.
“I will never stop loving you...”

Meanwhile…
Ferio opened the window. He loved how the breeze flowed around the room. It 
reminded him of her, it felt like her, but he got depressed thinking about her. He didn’t 
know why, she had a good enough reason to scold him like that. Ferio sat down on 
his chair and stared at the mirror.
“Fuu-chan...”
The mirror shattered into pieces.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Purin-chan: And the plot begins! Ohohohoho! e_e; I’m ok. Well anyway, this fic should 
get mushier after this plot is over (note I said should. If it doesn’t, you know that I 
accidentally changed something).

When I found him, all lonely and depressed.
I was not honest with him, he was not my first.
But I will take him, as cruel as I am.
And he will leave his other, pained and cursed.

Dunno where that came from e_e;. Just appeared in my mind. But it explains a little of 
what’s coming. (Thinks: I can’t write serious poems -_-;;; *reads all her poems she 
wrote in fourth grade* My teacher had said I could’ve become a poet for these.)
