Torn
Chapter one
It's been three years since there departure of one another.
What happens when the one you love is so far away from you that you can hardly stand it? Knowing that it would be next to impossible to ever see one another again and having your soul cry out in pain at night while the world around you is sleeping.
Hitomi looked outside her window of her newly acquired apartment looking up at the sky filled with stars wondering about him.
"Van, why did you send me back when you knew I wanted to stay with you?" She said letting her head hang walking away from the window shutting it and closing the curtains.
"You know Hitomi it's not healthy to still be thinking about him you're just going to make your self sick." Came the voice of her room mate Yukari.
"Oh Yukari I didn't know you were still up? I'm sorry what did you say?" Hitomi said to her friend.
"Come on Hitomi you can't fool me you're thinking about that Van guy you went on and on about when you came home after you had disappeared." She said sitting next to Hitomi.
"I don't know Yukari I just feel like I was meant to be with him that's all." She said looking back at the window.
"Well you know Hitomi look at it this was if you two were really meant to be don't you think he would have been born here on earth and not that place you called Gaea." Yukari pointed out to her friend. "Think about it Hitomi there are a lot of great men out there I say stop living in a fantasy world and start living your life and find a guy before it passes you by." Yukari said then got up and headed for her room leaving Hitomi to think about what she just said to her.
Hitomi sat there thinking till her eyes wouldn't stay open any longer then sleep took her over.
The next day she spent running errands not to mention her track practice then her music lessons when she finally got home she was beat and fell down on to the couch and shut her eyes.
"Boy Hitomi I think you will sleep tonight by the look of you." Yukari said walking into the room. "Oh by the way I'm going out tonight so don't wait up k'" Yukari said making her way into the kitchen.
"You're going out tonight since when you never told me." Hitomi said almost fuming.
"Well it was kind of a last minute thing Amono is in town and he asked me to go to dinner with him." She said with a blush on her face.
"Well what am I suppose to do while you're out having fun?" Hitomi asked with a huff.
"Well you could do what you always do sit at the window and pine for a guy that you swear that you were destined to be with but can never be with." Yukari said walking into her room slipping on a simple wine colored dress.
Hitomi just glared at her as she continued to walk on by.
"Good night Hitomi see you when I get home." Yukari said then the door was shut Hitomi still having the same look on her face long after Yukari was gone.
Hitomi then walked over to the window just like every other night.
"Is Yukari right am I just fooling myself to hang on to a dream that one day I'll be with Van again to dream that one day he'll come back for me? Maybe I should go out there and meet some one?" She said sighing. "Maybe Van has found some one else too?"
"Oh Van give me some kind of sign that you haven't forgotten me." She said out loud then letting her tears fall on the window sill then letting sleep take her over.
The next day when she woke up her neck hurt and was stiff she got up and looked around Yukari wasn't there she looked at her watch realizing she was running late she quickly changed and ran out the door then down the street to a near by coffee shop.
"You're late Kanzaki." Said a voice behind a counter as Hitomi rushed through the door.
"No I'm not I got two minutes left." She said quickly getting her apron and clocking in.
"Your lucky there little girl I didn't want to write you up." The man said walking back behind a door to the kitchen.
Hitomi then let out a big breath then leaned against the counter.
"Well I guess this is your lucky day." A voice said. Hitomi looked up to see a tall man with black hair standing there.
"Yeah I guess so." Hitomi replied to him. "It there something I can get you?"
"I'll have a hot coffee." He said watching the girl in front of him struggle with the cup he couldn't help but smile at her.
"There you go sorry about that." Hitomi said sheepishly.
"Don't worry about it you know you remind me of some one. Any way my name is Darien." He said to her holding out his hand. Hitomi took it shaking it.
"My name is Hitomi." She said then a feeling hit her at the same time it hit him she quickly pulled her hand out of his.
"Well then have a nice day." She said leaving the counter Darien left the seen thinking about what had just happened.
"Who was that girl?" He said walking out the door with his coffee in hand.
After work Hitomi was walking down a crowded side walk when she passed two women one with aqua colored hair and one with blond when they passed each other the same feeling happened once again.
"Michelle did you feel that?" The woman said to her cousin.
"Yes Amara was it that girl?" Michelle replied.
They turned around a decided to follow her.
"Amara do you think that she could be her?" Michelle said softly.
"I don't know Michelle she doesn't look like her at all."
The next few days theses two followed her almost every where Hitomi went then one day while walling home from the coffee shop she walking into an ally and waited for them.
"What do you think your doing following me?" Hitomi said to them as the two turned the corner. "And don't play dumb with me you two have been following me for two days now so what do you want." Hitomi said waiting for an answer.
"We just thought that you might be some one we use to know that's all." Michelle spoke up.
"So you had to follow me for two days well am I who you thought I was or did you just waist your time?" Hitomi asked a little annoyed.
"We haven't decided yet." Amara said looking away from Hitomi.
"Well if you can't decide if I'm the girl you think I am I'm probably not her you think." Hitomi said. "Well this has been interesting and if you don't mind I need to get going I have a date tonight. She said with a smile.
"Really with who?" Amara asked.
"Well not that it's your business but with a guy named Darien." Hitomi said walking away.
Amara and Michelle looked at one another.
"So he thinks the same thing we do then?" Michelle said as they watched her walk away.
Later at Hitomi's apartment Yukari was watching Hitomi walk around like she was going some where she hadn't told her that she was going any where tonight.
"Hitomi what's going on you're acting like you got a date tonight or something but that can't be can it?" Yukari said teasing her.
"Well for your information I do have a date tonight." Hitomi said rubbing it into her friends face.
Yukari heard this and fell off of her chair she was sitting on.
"Are you serious?" Yukari said getting up off the floor.
Hitomi smiled at her friend she was quite a site there on the floor.
"Now if you're done down there I could use some help with my hair." Hitomi said helping Yukari off the floor.
"Sure Hitomi let me grab some things from my room." Yukari said then returned and started her hair.
After Hitomi's hair was done she walked into her closet and found a little black dress and slipped it on she then looked at her watch then looked at Yukari.
"Well I have 30 minutes to get to the restaurant." She said heading for the door.
"Wait one minute Hitomi you're meeting him there?" Yukari asked as Hitomi put her hand on the door handle to leave.
"Yeah I mean what if he turns out to be some crazy person I don't want him knowing where I live." Hitomi replied then out the door before Yukari could respond.
At the restaurant Darien was waiting for her he pulled out her chair then they ordered and talked for a bit not really about anything.
"So Darien I never did ask you hold old you were." She said looking into her glass of water.
"I'm twenty one and I guess I never asked you your age either." Darien replied to her.
"Oh well I'm eighteen I just got out of school a month ago." She said to him.
There food came then after that they left the restaurant Darien offered to walk Hitomi and she agreed then when they both got to Hitomi's apartment neither one knew what to say.
"So this is where you live." Darien said to her making her blush a little.
"Thank you for tonight Darien I had a really nice time." She said to him as she closed her eyes then she felt his lips touch hers then he pulled away and bid her good night.
"I hope I get to see you soon Hitomi." He said then walked away leaving her blushing and confused at what had just happened.
A week then went by and it seemed that Hitomi was falling for this Darien what did this mean for her feelings for the king she was in love with and longed to be with?
