Hitomi slumped down into her desk by the window. It has been a year and a half since she last seen Van and the others. She leaned her cheek in her palm and looked out the window, thinking to herself, "I wonder what Van is doing right now..."

[ the scene goes from Hitomi in her class room to Van's thrown room in Gaea]
----------

Van walked out of his room with his normal clothing on. His beige pants with the belt around his waist and his sword attached to it and Hitomi's pendant which he was never seen without. He continued down the hallway when Merle scamperd up and hugged him. ''Lord van ^.^" she smiled. "Good morning!:D Its time for breakfast!" Van looked at her in a twisted sort of way, "Im not hungrey." he said. Merle blinked and nudged him, grinning evily like she always, "=} Thinking about Hitomi again, Lord vanee...?" Van looked at her and shut his eyes for a bit and walked past her. Merle looked at his back and put her hands on her hips, "Humph..whats his problem?"

Hitomi slowly crossed a bridge. Her gym bag hanging off her shoulder with both of her hands holding on the strap. She stopped and turned toward the lake, she walked up to the edge of the bridge and leaned on the sides. Hitomi stared out at the lake for a few moments and sighed thinking to herself, "Why did I leave Gaea..I seemed so much happier there.." She closes her eyes and wishes she hadnt left. All of a sudden a beam of bright blue light strikes down on her, her eyes widen a bit as her pupils go small. "W-whats happening?" She exclaims. She began to rise from the ground and was pulled upwards to the sky, "Ahhhhhhh.." her scream echoing and trailing off as she rises up, the beam at the bottom rises up as well and it dissapears along with Hitomi.

[on Gaea]

The blue beam smashes down in the forest and she plungs into some big boulders and falls on her back, unconsious.

[still on Gaea]

Van's eyes widen as he pauses in the middle of the hallway he was walking down. The pendant starts glowing and snaps off his neck. He tries to grab it put the pendant starts moving away fast. Van dashes towards the pendant but it keeps on going faster, away from him. He follows the pendant. The pendant zooms out of the castle. "Wait!" he yelled. He ran into the stable and took out his favorite white horse, hopped on it and clicked his heel against the side of the horse and off they went. In the distance Van could still see the pendants pink glow. "Faster!" Van exclaimed. The pendant finally stops infront of the forest and Van pulled on the straps on the horse. "Whoa boy" he said to the hose. He got off and walked slowly towards the pendant. As he reached out his hand towards the pendant it starts off again and floats into the forest, Van following.

Finally the pendant stops in front of the clearing, this time Van jumped out and grabbed the pendant, falling down. He got up and shook his head. Then he looked up and saw Hitomi. His eyes widend and his mouth hung open. He froze, looking at her in disbelief. He ran towards her, "Hitomi!" he exclaimed. He looked at the blood running down Hitomis face and her bruises. He cringed and hugged her unconious body.
"Hitomi..."
