Hitomi was in her room. She had a pillow up against her face; her face had streaks all over it. She had again been crying. Why won't he leave my head! Why won't he let me let him go? Why didn't he want me to stay? Hitomi choked on the last part. Tears again welled up in her eyes. She thought she could cry no more. She thought she had cried all that was possible. But she was proven wrong. The tears again spilled. Her eyes were red and her throat was sore. But worse of all, her heart ached. Her family and friends have been worried about her. It was only one week, and she was like this.

Mrs. Kanzaki had a strange feeling that something bad was going to happen. She looked around the room in which a large party was being held. It was in their new house. A medium sized mansion. This party was for Hitomi coming back safely. She looked around the room a noted that her daughter was not there. She put down her glass on the table where Yukari and Amono were sitting. Yukari already knew what the Hitomi's mother wanted to know.
"Hitomi went up stairs to freshen up Mrs. Kanzaki." Yukari whispered. She quickly thanked Yukari for the information and head up the stairs. She came to Hitomi's room and heard sniffling inside. Again? She thought. Who could do something like this? Mrs. Kanzaki lightly knocked on the door. She heard shuffling from inside Hitomi's room and then heard Hitomi hoarsely whisper.
"Wh-who's there?" She asked. Trying to hide the fact that she had just been crying.
"It's me Hitomi…may I come in?"
"M-mom?"
"Yes dear."
"Al-alright m-mom…c-come on-on I-I-in." She heard Hitomi collapse into crying again and went into the room lightly closing the door behind her with a small click.
"Hitomi darling…what's wrong? You know you can tell me anything!"
"I know mom it's just-" Hitomi stopped herself. She was going to say that you wouldn't believe me. Her mother put her left thumb to Hitomi's left temple.
"If I guess. Just a large guess…will you tell me the answer?" Hitomi nodded her head yes. Her mother thought for a moment then her eyes sparkled.
"Hitomi? Tell me about the planet named Gaea."

Van was practicing with his sword field in the middle of an open field. Everything about the field was gold. The old grass went from green to its color and the wheat, which bordered along the fence even. The leaves on the trees even had a yellowish tint to them. The advisors thought Van was perfectly happy now that cursed thing from the mystic blue moon is gone. He wouldn't have to worry about her well being. They thought Van had thought of her as a dumb girl…like they do. People thought she helped save Gaea? Ha! They thought. She's only getting credit because she was there with King Van. They never understood why Van abruptly disliked the idea of letting the public know this. But why not? She hadn't DONE anything to even help with the war. Van heard these things out of their mouths everyday. But he also heard them about a marriage proposal. Apparently he had to marry before he turned 18. He was still 15. He never understood why he should start looking now when he knew that he would find no one else. He let his go. He hated it. Why did he let her go? Not even he knows. Van kept on swishing the sword through the air when he heard the soft padding of feet behind him. He turned around and saw no other than Merle coming up to him.
"Lord Van! Lord Van! There you are! I was looking EVERYWHERE for you!" She said grinning. The grin changed to a frown when she noticed all she got from Van was a small curve of the lips then go back to their normal state. Merle looked at Van. She knew what he wanted…or at least needed so to speak. He wanted Hitomi. He has the pendant… Why doesn't he go? Merle thought thinking of her old rival. Once Hitomi left Van got more and more depressed. "Lord Van! Tell me what's wrong…please!" Merle pleaded with her old time friend. Van looked over to her and sighed in defeat. He put his sword away and fell into the grass with a thud. Merle walked over to him and sat down. "Well?" She asked. Van again sighed.
"Hitomi…" He whispered. Merle looked down at her paw like hands and then back to Van. It had been quite a while since she chased Van. Hitomi, she knew, is what he wanted. Merle let a small tear trickle down her face. Van was now like this all the time. Merle sometimes thought that he could now quickly get into an acting service from how well he fooled the advisors. Suddenly Van bolted up and took out his sword. Merle soon heard why. She heard the sound of horses coming near. She saw three fat, brown, (in her mind) spoiled horses with their owners on their backs. It took a while for her to realize that it was three of Van's advisor's. Van put his sword away and stared at the three old men.
"Yes?" He said in a monotone voice. The three advisors got of their horses and held on to their horse's reins. The oldest one, also the one in the middle stepped forward and bowed quickly then stood straight again.
"Lord Van." He said. Van slightly bowed his head.
"What do you want?" He asked. He was getting sick of his advisors following him when he wanted to be alone. At least Merle didn't ask the questions they did, and stayed silent when she thought he wanted it. His best friend and really the only friend he has unless you can count the advisors. Which you couldn't.
"Lord Van, sorry to bother you-" Again. Where is the again? Van wondered. He thought it really belonged there. "But we were wondering if you had come to the decision of your bride yet hhhhmmmm…" Merle rolled her eyes and clutched her stomach. This AGAIN?! Don't they have a life other than bothering Van?? Wait…bothering Van IS their life! ARGH! Merle felt sick…or at least that she had a headache. It got really annoying seeing the three old guys three teethy grins as if to lighten up the mood. IT didn't though. It just made her and Van sick.
"No." Van answered plainly. The three looked grim. The one on the right sighed.
"You majesty-" He began. He couldn't finish. He didn't know what to say! He sighed again. "We have much to talk about…in the castle. Only the elder advisors however-" He said waving his hand to the other two. "And maybe even Merle will understand once the meeting gets started."
"HEY! What are you implying about me?"
"That, with King Van's permission, you join the meeting." Merle's eyes popped. Join a meeting?…I'm never joined one of these meetings! Even if there will only be three advisors and Van…It still has to be important! Right? Van kept his reaction better hidden but was still surprised himself. He let out his breath.
"Alright, Merle will join…the meeting shall be held when?" He said. The advisors looked a little relieved.
"Strictly after you get back to the castle your highness…strictly after you get back to the castle!" Van nodded his head as the advisors got out of sight with their horses.
"I-I get to come to a-a MEETING?!…Oh great…" She said the last part sarcastically. Van stared at her.
"What?"
"I hear meetings are VERY boring."
