Hearts Reunited - Chapter 22 : True Love Purin-chan: Eh...I have nothing to say. Um, well, maybe something. Forgive the formatting u.u; I'm too lazy to change it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fuu watched in horror as the vampire bit Ferio. She was able to contain her scream though. What she couldn't handle was what came next. The vampire let go of Ferio, then ran her wrist across her mouth, cutting it. She then offered her blood to Ferio, which he drank. Fuu shrieked, immediately covering her mouth as she did so. The vampire looked up at her, shocked. Then a smirk appeared on her face. She blasted the wall away. Fuu had tried to cast a spell, but it was too late. She got caught in the blast and fell with her back against the opposite wall. Fuu coughed. Dust was getting in her eyes. She couldn't see anything. Fuu wiped her eyes with her shirt sleeve, and looked up to see Ferio bent over her. "Ferio!" He smiled a cold, vampirish (My own word ^_^) smile, exposing teeth that were a little sharper than a usual human's. He kneeled down so he could stare her in the eyes. Fuu tried to move, but she was paralyzed. Ferio moved his hand behind her neck, and pushed with two fingers so she would arch her neck. A tear ran down Fuu's cheek. He bared his newly grown fangs and lowered his face to her neck… "Ferio…" Ferio paused at the sound of Fuu’s whimper. She then hugged him and cried into his shoulder. "If being with you from now on means I must be a vampire, go ahead and bite me…" she sobbed. Ferio merely smiled and kissed her gently on the cheek, nuzzling his face into her golden hair. Behind them, the vampire scowled and disappeared into the night. "Ferio’s a WHAT?!" Umi and Hikaru shrieked in unison. "Umm…err…I’ll let him explain…" Fuu said, leaning her pounding head against his shoulder. "Why are you all so afraid? I’m only one-fourth a vampire right now," Ferio asked, a clueless expression on his face. Umi and Hikaru both turned chibi and ran around the room frantically. Fuu groaned into Ferio’s shoulder, then muttered, "Enough…I’m going to bed now…" "Need a partner?" Ferio asked with a wicked grin. Fuu blushed furiously, then replied, "No, umm…I’ll be…fine…" and left the room. Ferio sighed, then turned back to Umi and Hikaru to begin answering their questions. "Ferio…" "Yeah Fuu?" "…" "Are you still worried about me being part vampire?" "Why wouldn’t I be?!" "Fuu-chan…" "…" "I still love you, and that’s all that matters." Fuu tossed and turned in her bed as the images played over and over again in her mind. "…" "Do you not believe me?" "I wish I could…but let’s say that my woman’s intuition says you’re just trying to take advantage of me now…" "…" "I’m sorry…" Fuu’s sobbing could be heard throughout the hallways. Hikaru was using Lantis and Eagle as a shield from Ferio. Umi was hiding behind Ascot. "Vamp…vamp…vamp…" they both continuously whimpered. Ferio had a ticked off mark on his forehead. "Would you all just cut it out!!!" he yelled, a little harsher than he had intended it to be. Everyone moved behind Lantis. "Agh forget it…I’m gonna go check on Fuu…" Ferio muttered, walking towards her room. "VAMPIRE!!!!!" Fuu heard a knock on her door. "Who is it?" she asked, her voice muffled by the pillow she was crying into. "Ferio." "My Ferio or the vampire?" she asked, trying not to let her voice choke. "…Your Ferio." "Ok…come in," she said, sitting up in her bed and wiping away her tears. Ferio walked through the door. He didn’t smile in case his new fangs would scare her. "Ferio…" He walked over to the side of her bed and enveloped her in a tight embrace. "If you don’t want me anymore, I would understand. Just say so," he whispered into her right ear. Fuu muffled a sob arising within her throat, then shook her head. "I’m going to let you take me." "Fuu-chan…" "And do you want to know why I’m going to let you? It’s because I loved you, and I still do. That won’t ever change," she cried into his shirt, allowing the newly formed tears to fall. Ferio kissed her lightly on the top of her head, hugging her tighter all the while. "I love you too…" Meanwhile… Ascot, Umi, and Eagle were left in the dining room. Lantis and Hikaru had already retired to their room (~.^) Eagle eyed the two suspiciously before asking, "So are you two paired up or not?" Both faces turned a deep crimson before responding, "NO WE’RE NOT!" (Purin-chan: ::whispers something into Eagle’s ear:: Eagle: You think it’ll work? Purin-chan: Of course it’ll work ^_^) Eagle walked over and hugged Umi lightly from behind, causing her to blush harder. "Then you won’t mind if I take her myself now would you?" he asked Ascot playfully. "I…err…umm…" Ascot stuttered. (Purin-chan: Go for it Ascot ^_^!) "I…err…I love Umi…so…please release her," Ascot said to Eagle. Eagle let go of Umi with a chuckle. Ascot caught her before she fell to the ground blushing. "Umm…we’ll be leaving now…" Ascot said, carrying the still blushing Umi away. (Purin-chan: ::high-fives Eagle:: Yatta!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Purin-chan: And I’ll let your little minds imagine what happens after that ^_^. So how’d you like it? Good/annoying/bad? Review anyway! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyone wanna know what happened to Fuu and the vampire? Read on, but I’m warning you, it might be a little creepy ^_^;. That’s why I took it out of the fic and put it here. A priest on earth gave his prophecy around this time. "After seven full moons, a one-fourth vampire will have completely transformed into a vampire, and his first victim will be one of his own blood…" Meaning Ferio will have transformed into a 100% pure vampire and will feed on his and Fuu’s child first, turning the poor kid into a vampire. u.u;; Sorry, this idea just came up and bit me. No pun intended. Owari.
