How far can you go?

Mystic mizu

"But still I wait for him, even though I'm in pain"

She took a deep breath; her heart is pounding fast,

Ok, this is it…

She usually holds her pendant before the race, but now, she left it to someone so that he, will always remember her, even if they are in great distance..

"Hitomi! Give your best shot!" Yukari's always there to cheer her.

She's happy for her; Amano and she are doing so well.

I wish he was here to cheer me…

"On your mark..."

It's been seven months…it feels like its been 3 years…

"Set…"

It's really weird…not even a vision of him. Has he forgotten me?

"GO!"

STUPID JERK!

That thought really pissed off her didn't it? By now she's the lead in the race, giving her best, well; she's just really irritated that's why she ran so fast. This always makes her feel better. Running fast, just running every time she feels alone or forgotten.

"They're almost at the finish line, Kanzaki's on the lead…and…she won!"

Although the announcer's voice can be heard all over the tracking field, all that she can hear is those irritating-nerve-popping thoughts.

"STAY IN THAT STUPID WORLD YOU JERK!"

What do you know…after running a race, she still have the energy to shout that loud. After realizing that she's in the middle of a crowd and everyone is staring at her as if their look says "weird",

"First place, Kanzaki Hitomi!"

Yeah, like I have the courage to stand in front of these people and receive that trophy after looking like a big dope…oh c'mon!

As if she has a choice, of the embarrassment, she took the trophy and smiled at the cameras.

"What happened! And who's the stupid jerk?" Yukari's left eyebrow rose.

"No one, sigh, no one at all."

"Kanzaki, don't tell me you already approved going out with Minomoto?"

Actually, Hitomi's is completely okay with Amano and Yukari's relationship. In fact, they walk home together every afternoon.

"No way! She dumped five guys in a row. I think she's entering the convent"

"Hey Yukari…"

"You've been really distracted lately Hitomi. What's wrong?" What do you expect? Yukari's her best friend, she's concerned.

"…I forgot! I have something to do; I have to run some errands for my mom…"

"Hitomi…"

"See ya!" again she's avoiding the topic, even though she wants to open her troubles to her best friend, she can't, simply because Yukari and Amano doesn't know about Gaia yet. She always avoids the topic and always makes excuses to walk away from the scene.

"She ran off again"

"I think we should let her fix her own problem. She doesn't want us to interfere; maybe we just have to let her be."

"No way, what's the use of being best friend if she doesn't tell me her problems?"

"Well, Maybe some secrets are supposed to be remained secret" Amano put his arms around Yukari.

"We just have to give her more time."

As usual, she doing her I'm-running-to-be-happy routine again, tears are being carried away by the wind, but not her pain.

Stupid jerk! Don't even bother too show you face again!

She reaches the beach; she stands by the shore and watches the sunset.

Same as Austiria…

"IDIOT! "Tears don't stop flowing out.

"You're hopeless as ever."

As if this will bring him back to me…I'm nuts…

It's already dark when she decided to go home, and as usual her mother will always shout…

"Hitomi, Your bath is ready"

Lying in her bed and staring at the ceiling, thoughts started to change …

He's probably busy about Fanelia, but its really strange that no matter how much I try to wait for him; I just miss him so much. Has he forgotten about me? I thought I can do this…but this is too much. I hate this…but still I wait for him, even though I'm in pain. No matter how much I hold back my tears, I just…I just cant…I miss him way too much.

She closed her eyes and embraced her wet pillow.

I'm the one who's hopeless…

When she opened her eyes, she's in an unknown room with an open window. Outside the window, her eyes were astonished when she saw the blue moon again, the earth.

"What the…"

A glowing white feather flew down on her hand.

"No way…"

"You're still surprised? It's not like you've never been here before."

A man in the dark with white wings went forward to him

It's him, no doubt about it.

"Is this a vision? Or a dream"

'"no, this is your wish"

"Van I…"

"Look outside, that's Fanelia. We rebuild it, every one in Fanelia"

"It's beautiful; it's the same as the first time I went here."

"It's almost complete…"

"Almost?"

"It has her place, her people, her king; all she needs is a queen."

"Van, I"

"Still, I need for you to come back to the mystic moon."

Hitomi looked down and clenched her fist…

"I need for you to wait…" he held his hand and knelt down

"He-hey…" Hitomi was shocked.

"Stand up will you…"

"I, Van Fanel, King of Fanelia, ask thy fair lady, to accept me as his…husband"

Hitomi blushed. Tears fell out and looked away.

"What's wrong with you? You ask me for marriage and you want me to wait for you again?"

Who wouldn't be furious? After waiting for 7 months, asked for marriage and wait again.

What the heck are you thinking?

"I need for you to wait, because I am not the only one who cares about you. You have your friends and your family back at your home. They worry about you as much as you worry about me. "

He wraps his arms around her.

"I'll come to you, if the time is right."

"I understand, I'm sorry." She rests her head on his warm chest.

I wish we could stay like this forever, but…

Her vision started to fade…

I have to go back…

Waking up with a terrible head ache from last night, she pushed her self up and sat.

A dream…

She combs her hair with her fingers…

No…a fantasy.

She smiled, and when she's about to stand she felt something in her hand. And when she looked at it she is dazzled to find that what she's holding is a white glowing feather.

What the…

A cold draft filled her room, and flapping of wings is heard. A shadow passed by the window, and by that she knew who that was.

Van…

She ran to the window, she smiled knowing that an angel always looks after her. As white feather sways down leaving the trail of an angel, she whispered,

"I will wait…"
