All that was sacred to us
Sacred to us
See the signs
The covenant has been broken

Leaving us with no shoulder...with no shoulder

It had been three long years since she had returned to Gaea. Three long torturous years of pain, heartache, and suffering. All that she loved was gone. Her family, friends, and the one she loved most in the world had betrayed her.
Sad green eyes looked across the cold stone of the dark and damp room at the bottom of the castle of Fanelia. No light penetrated the thick granite walls nor the solid brown door made of some strong Gaean wood. A soft sigh escaped her lips. Long hair the color of golden sand cascaded down her shoulders and hung around her waist. A thin white tunic hung loosly around her body and tanned leather pants encased her shapley legs. Neither did much good to protect her from the cold and moisture of the small prison.
-Flashback-
A delicate hand opened the door to the room where soft feminine giggles and moans could be heard. A frown crossed the face of 19 year old Hitomi as she pushed apart the intricatly carved doors to the room of her love, Van Fanel, the king of Fanelia and the man to whom she was currently engaged.
Peering into the room she gasped at what she saw. Van was currently tracing the curves of the nude form of another woman. His shirt was loosened and his hair disheveled. Rage filled Hitomi's body and she burst through the doors, attracting the attention of the man she was to be married to in a weeks time. "What the hell are you doing?! I thought you loved me! Not some slut from the side of some road! You and I WERE to be married a week from today and now I find you getting ready to fuck some whore selling her body to you! Van, how could you?"
Her voice broke and tears fell from her eyes as she dashed out of the room, Van following behind her. He grabbed onto her arm and violently spun her around to face him. "Hitomi," He said softly "Please don't run, I didnt mean to hurt you."
She brought her eyes to face his. An angry glint in their pained depths. "How can you say that? Seeing you with that woman hurt me more than anything in the world. And I thought you were being true to you're word, that you loved me with your heart and soul. I guess I was wrong."
Then it all seemed to happen so fast. He went into a rage. First chenching his fists to his sides, then letting one fly, impacting on her left cheek. The sound of flesh against flesh filled the corrodor and the clatter of shattering porcelain echoed in Van's ears. As he looked down on her and the shards of the figure a sudden panic overtook him. Taking a heavy marble figurine in his arms, he let it fly through the air and collide with the dazed girl, thus sending her into unconciousness.
-End Flashback-
That had been a few weeks ago. The purple and blue bruises on her body having disappeared and cuts healed. As far as she knew, noone knew where she was. Only Van had come down to bring her a few scraps of food each day. She had become terribly thin and her once tanned skin was becoming paler from the darkness. 'Is anyone asking about me,' She mentally asked herself. 'Or has that asshole Van made up some story about my absence?'

Who's got my back now?
When we all have left is deceptive
So disconnected
So what is the truth now?

A sudden rumbling filled the palace and Hitomi's head. 'Whats going on? Another attack?' She remembered the group of rebel Zaibach Dragonslayers, their leader being the infamous Dilandau Albatou. They had been causing problems for over a year now, hoarding weapons won from plundering neighboring countries. Dilandau's hatred of Van had not decreased at all over the years, only become stronger as each attempt of his to capture Fanelia had failed due to her intervention. But there would be none of that this time.
She could hear the battle being raged around her, even in the hall where this room lay. Running to the door, she began pounding on it, hoping someone outside would notice her efforts. She was tired and weak from hunger but she put all of her force behing each blow to the door. A loud crack on the door mad her jump back, startled. With a second blow, a figure emerged from the illuminated corrodor, casting light onto her body which was sprawled across the damp floor.
She recognized the figure immediatly as Dilandau, but didnt offer any protest as he stepped further into the room to see her. He gasped as his eyes looked over her body. "No wonder everyone though she was dead, just look where that scum put her!" He exclaimed, rather enraged. He finally looked into her eyes to see their color was dimmed and seemigly lifeless.
"Dilandau," she spoke weakly "Please help me."
He lifted her up gently in his arms and hugged her to his chest. His crimson eyes glowing warmly at her as he held her. "Don't worry, Hitomi, I'm here to rescue you." He held the one thing he loved most, the only thing he truly loved, and ran out of the room with her.
As Dilandau ran through the throne room he was confronted by a battered Van. "And where do you think you're taking her? Hitomi belongs to me and noone else. I love her and I will never let her go!" With that he drew forth his sword, the emblem of Fanelia gleaming brilliantly and the cold blade danced in anticipation of blood.
Setting his love down softly behind him, he drew out an elegent sword with his own symbol adorned on the hilt. "You let her go the moment you locked her away in that shit hole store room. I dont know what else you did to her before that I don't know about yet, but you lost her. If you loved her you wouldn't have thrown her out like a ripped fabric. I have found her and I will take her with me. I love her and there is nothing you can do to change that!" He yelled as Van charged at him.
Hitomi was shocked at his confession of his love. Noone had ever truly shown her love until he had. Her parents had left her on her own and her friends ignored her, so she had come to Gaea to be with Van. She had thought he had loved her as she loved him, but that had all been false as she realized when he was making love to another woman. It seemed now that Dilandau was the only one who really loved her, and for the first time, it dawned on her that she loved him as well. She always had. Even when thay had been fighting in the Destiny Wars she had longed for him, but pushed that feeling away and kept herself close to Van. For the first time she admitted to herself that she loved him, that she wanted to be with him.

We pick up the broken pieces
Of our lives
Giving ourselves to each other...ourselves to each other

The battle was over and Van lay defeated on the floor. Dilandau sheithed his sword and walked back over to her, kneeling next to her to make sure she was alright. "Hitomi," he whispered to her alone "I've loved you for years, since you came from the Mystic Moon to Gaea. Mabey if I had admitted it sooner then this would not have happened to you. I'm sorry, my love." He lifted her up into his arms and embraced her.
"Dilandau, There is nothing you could have done about this happening. there is no way you would have known. I love you too, with all of my heart. Noone has ever truly loved me before, even when I thought they did." She looked up into the crimson depths and saw the joy within them. Without another word, he pressed his lips against hers in a tender kiss.
When they broke apart he spoke "Hitomi, I don't want to loose you like that bastard did. Will you come with me? back to my home, and be mine?"
She smiled for the first time she had in a long time. Cuddling up to his chest as he started to walk again she was actually happy. Happy that she had found someone that loved her and she loved in return.
