*Age 14, In the Forest*

Not having a clue who he was we got our weapons out. “Another enemy?” Miss Umi asked “Well, he looks human. But remember that crazy witch? We can’t let our guard down.” I told her. Just then Mokona jumped up to the tree branch were he was standing. “W-what is this thing?” He asked as Mokona bounced on his head making his messy hair even messier.

He had green hair and the most beautiful golden eyes, he carried a sword that was taller than him and was dressed in strange, what I guessed were Cephiran clothes. Miss Hikaru bravely stepped forward and introduced herself “My name is Hikaru. I’m from Tokyo.” “Toe-ki-yo? Never heard of that.” He replied. Miss Hikaru continued, “ We were summoned by Princess Emera……” Just then Miss Umi grabbed her “Miss Hikaru, we still know nothing at all about him. What if he has something to do with Zagato? If he found out we were summoned here by Princess Emeraude he would surly kill us.” I told her. “But Mokona.” Miss Hikaru replied looking puzzled “Mokona might be like that with everyone.” Miss Umi told her. “But he helped us.” Miss Hikaru told me. “We don’t know for sure why he helped us. That’s what we need to find out.” I decided to introduce myself.

“Hello my name is Fuu.” Miss Umi also introduced herself. “And I’m Umi.” I continued, “Please tell us what you name is.” “I’m Ferio. What are you doing wandering around the Forest of Silence? You can’t use magic here so if you ain’t a good swordsman, you ain’t getting out alive. Me? I’m on my way to Eterna.” ‘what he’s going to Eterna?!’ was all we could think. “Why are you going to Eterna?” Miss Umi asked. “To get the legendary mineral, Escudo.” He replied with a smile. ‘Maybe I could get him to escort us to the exit of this horrible forest.’ I thought before he jumped down.

“It’s Ferio isn’t it…..?” I asked. “Yes ma’am.” ‘HEY I’m 14!’ “And you are going to Eterna?” “Yes…” He replied looking at me kind of puzzled. “Then you know the way to Eterna?” “I just told you, you can’t use magic here, that includes magic compasses. Everyone knows you’ve gotta go through the Forest of Silence to get to Eterna. But ya gotta find the way out on your own. So, don’t look at me for help.” ‘He has no clue!’ I thought, then I continued “We know the way out.” (Chibi) “Ya know the way out? You’ve got to be dreamin’!” “What makes you think I’m asleep?” I asked smiling. “D’ya really know the way out?” He asked. “Yes but if you don’t believe me…” “Where is it?” “You want to know?” I asked smiling “If you’re tellin’ the truth.” “Well I suppose I could tell you, but on one condition.” “What?” “You must escort us to the exit.” I heard Miss Umi behind me say “Way ta go, Fuu!” So after considering it he finally agreed. “I wanna help Princess Emeraude.” He said before another monster loomed over us. “LETS GO!” Miss Hikaru said as Mokona’s jewel once again turned red.

Just then the monster that had been looming over us came down to attack. Miss Hikaru cut it’s let but it just healed. “Swords don’t work on that one!” Ferio yelled as he jumped up a tree. “Look out!” Miss Hikaru cried. “Ferio must have a plan.” I told her. It was headed right toward him I could feel my heart pounding ‘oh no!’ Just then it impaled itself on the branches of the tree as Ferio flipped out of the tree. “Boy I’m glad we hired Ferio.” Miss Umi said. Then the monster shot out a beam that was headed strait for me. ‘ I’m gonna die!’ was all I could think, my legs didn’t seem to hear my head telling them to run. Then I heard Ferio “Idiot! Don’t just stand there!!!” Just before it hit me he tackled me to the ground. I looked up at him, I think now I know why before my heart had skipped a beat it wasn’t that I was frightened it was because of Ferio. “Thank you so much. You saved my life. But I’ve never been called an idiot before.” I told him as I picked up my glasses, smiling genuinely. “Hey you’re cute you smile.” He said a couple inches from my face. He then stood up and offered to help me up. “You seemed kinda sneaky at first. But you’re pretty darn cute.” He said as he smiled at me. I felt my cheeks turn a deep shade of red. He helped me up Miss Umi and Miss Hikaru asked if I was okay.

We walked a little ways then Mokona stopped. “PUUPUU!” He said turning to Miss Hikaru and frowning (You know what I’m talking about>_~) “Mokona says we have to stop here because the sun is down and more monsters are out now.” “He said that all in just two syllables.” Miss Umi asked staring at Mokona. “Yup!” Miss Hikaru said turning to Miss Umi smiling. Mokona’s jewel turned red and a egg shaped little cabin like thing came out. “I believe Miss Presea was correct, Mokona has everything we could need.” I said. We all walked in and found one giant bed for three people. “Were will Ferio sleep?” Miss Hikaru asked. “That’s okay I’ll sleep out side.” Ferio said walking outside before Miss Hikaru could object. “Oh?” was all she said. “Fuu-chan can I take some food out to Ferio?” Miss Hikaru asked holding up a bowl of fruit and stuff she had found. “Well Miss Hikaru you are so kind I think you might invite him in so I’ll take it out.” I said taking the basket as Miss Umi and Miss Hikaru got in bed after putting on their pajamas. Before I left I heard Miss Umi whisper to Miss Hikaru “Don’t ya think Fuu and Ferio would make such a kawaii couple?” “Totally!” Miss Hikaru replied. I walked out the door feeling a blush come back to my cheeks.

I guess I might have really just wanted to see him and talk to him. I walked out and found him sitting at the base of a tall tree with a fire already going. “Um Ferio I brought you some food.” I told him trying to calm my heart down. He looked up at me and smiled. “Will you stay with me just a little bit I just don’t want to eat alone.” (No rude comment this time like in the anime Teehee) I didn’t think my heart could beat any faster but it did. “Um sure.” I stayed with him and we talked for hours about our selves and our families. He didn’t have any memories of his family. “Oh Ferio that’s so sad.” I said as I felt a tear roll down my cheek. “Fuu don’t cry it’s okay really I’m used to it.” He said wiping away my tears with his gloved thumb. *Ferio’s thoughts,* ‘she’s so sweet, she was kinda sneaky but now she’s so sweet. I think I might like her.’* We just stayed like that for a couple of seconds not wanting to move. ‘He’s so warm. Oh Ferio, what am I thinking, well I guess it is possible he is kinda nice and sweet and well yeah.’ Just then breaking the silence I asked him a question “Why are you looking for Escudo?” He told me the entire story (anime one) about how the princess had spared his life and all. “Wow really that’s so sweet.”

“Fuu are you okay?” Ferio asked me looking at me with his intense gold eyes. I was shivering because even thought he had made a fire I was still freezing. “What?” I asked at the time not knowing what else to say. “Fuu you’re shivering. Are you cold?” “Oh. Yeah.” I said looking at my shivering knees. Unexpectedly I felt strong arms encircle my arms. All I could do was close my eyes and inhale his sent. I felt so good to be so close to him, like I said before he felt so warm that I almost completely stopped shivering. “Ferio I would like to thank you again for saving my life today.” I said trying to think of something to break the silence. “Oh ah your welcome Fuu. But are you sure your warm enough?” He said looking at me with a concerned look on his face. “Um well Ferio you yourself look kind of cold.” I said looking at his now shivering arms. “I can go and get a blanket from the little cabin thing.” I asked standing up a little slowly not wanting to give up being in his arms. “Sure.” He said as I started walking off.

As I entered the cabin thing I saw a blanket on the floor. I grabbed it and tiptoed out again making sure not to wake up Miss Umi and Miss Hikaru. When I came out I saw Ferio look up at me and smile sweetly. I felt like my heart would burst. “Here I got a blanket. There was only one so while have to share.” I told him as I started to blush madly thinking about what I had just said. “Okay.” He said gesturing for me to come and sit down next to him. I willingly sat down and covered us with the blanket. Finally I felt sleepy and laid my head on his shoulder and felt him pull me in to a protective hug. I loved being in his arms so when he did this I didn’t do anything to stop him just close my eyes and go to sleep. *Ferio’s thoughts*, ‘She is so beautiful inside and out. Fuu. I can’t believe I’m so close to her.’ After watching Fuu for a short time sleep also came over Ferio and he fell asleep with his arms around me, and his head resting on mine.
