Summary: It's been 3 years since Hitomi went back home to earth and now she regrets he decision. Van is to marry in a month time; can the two part of the same soul finally be together?
Hitomi's Life
Hitomi was currently looking at the moon thinking of a raven haired King and the rest of the friends she had left on Gaea so long ago.
"Three years," she thought, her gaze lowering itself to the note pad she used as a diary, "it's been three years since I left. Three years and I still miss them about as much as if I had left them……him yesterday."
Hitomi Kanzaki was now eighteen years old; she was now considered a woman and had finish high school a week before. She had long ago begun to find an interest in books, mostly those that spoke of Kings and Queens. Her light chestnut hair was now down to her mid back, an inch past her shoulder blades, having giving up on the tomboy look but still being one of the fastest runners her high school had ever seen. She was actually the record holder of the fastest 100 meters dash in the entire country. She had grown a sudden passion for the arts, taking up drawing and painting very easily.
When she had come back and had woken up at the infirmary for the third time she did not tell Amano about Gaea and he did not ask about her pendant simply because she was not wearing it anymore. Amano had told her of his feeling and she had told him hers, Yukari had left them alone to sort out there feelings. Amano and Yukari were now currently dating and had been for the past three years.
"I wonder how Fanelia is doing now and if there still all friends?" she mused, "I hope they are."
Heavily sighing Hitomi took one last look at the moon before closing the blinds again wishing she knew were Gaea was situated.
The next day was a Saturday and Hitomi was calmly lounging on a chair in the garden getting a tan and thinking on how much her life had changed in the last three years. First with her trip to Gaea and then two years ago, her father was picking up her younger brother Mamoru from soccer practice when they were involved in a car crash; another car had run over the red light and had crash into them. Neither her brother nor father had survived the crash. Since then she and her mother lived alone in the same house filled with so many memory.
A noise was suddenly heard interrupting her thought and making her stand up straight in her chair. A joyous scream was heard from the house soon followed by the sight of Yukari and Amano.
"Hi Hitomi!" exclaimed the both of them in a perfect chorus. Yukari went and gave Hitomi a death grip hug before moving to let Amano do the same, just the gentler version.
"Hey guys what is with all the commotion?" asked Hitomi after she was release from the death grip hug of Yukari and the normal hug from Amano.
"Well Amano ask my hand in marriage yesterday," Yukari said brightly, her smile going from one ear to another.
"Oh my goodness that's just great," Hitomi said cheerfully giving her best friend a huge hug," What did you say?"
"I said yes of course," showing Hitomi her left hand, on her ring finger was a beautiful engagement ring. It was a single diamond cut in an oval surrounded by a small sapphire on each side. The whole was mounted on a white gold and gold band (A/N: If you do not think it's a beautiful engagement ring feel free to imagine your own.).
"I'm so happy for you guys!" she said standing up once again and giving each of them a big huge hug. She was not really surprise for Amano had asked her help in finding a ring for Yukari. The trio sat down and talked a little about some of the wedding arrangement, well Yukari talked, Hitomi listened and Amano looked scared out of his mind when she mentioned a valentine ceremony entirely in white and pink. After a few more ideas, each getting wilder and wilder, Yukari glimpse at her watch and realize what time it was. She quickly stood up.
"Oh man we're going to be late!" she exclaimed bending to give Hitomi one last hug. Amano did the same before both walked to the front door.
"Late for what?" asked Hitomi as she followed her friends to the front door.
"We're supposed to meet our parents at the restaurant in ten minutes. We haven't told them about the engagement yet," said Amano.
"Aye we wanted you to be the first to know and now we are so late," said Yukari pulling Amano out of the door before turning and waving at Hitomi who waved back.
"Bye. See you two later," she said before closing the door. Locking it she collapsed on the now close door and sighed a very sad sigh. A small smile slowly made its way to her face. The once sunny day having turned cloudy in both in her mind and in the outside, not quite raining but hiding the sun. Not that she was sad for her friends, she was sad for herself.
She made her way to her room and locked the door behind her in case her mom came earlier than she expected. She slowly made her way to her closet and took out a wooden box. She placed it on her desk and removed the lid revealing the clothing that Millerna had given her. Removing the articles of clothing she plunged her hand in the box and took out the section cuter to reveal a single feather of the purest white on top of a pure silk fabric the color of many shade of green mixing uniformly, from the colors of a field in summer to the color of the darkest pine. Smiling she place her hand on the feather her last link to Van every since there mental link broke off less than a year ago. With a last sigh she place everything back in there place before thinking back to her friends.
She was truly happy for her friends, really she was but she could not help but feel a twinge of jealousy towards there happiness. They were with the person they loved, they were going to get married, they were happy. She was starting to wonder if she could one day be this happy, so happy that she seemed to glow. She wandered if one day she could be happy…with Van.
