Angel of Dreams
Chapter 1: Unwanted Love
Hitomi gazed at the full-length mirror before her. Her reflection wavered and she saw the face on an angel, her angel, Van. She shook her head and his image disappeared from her view. She pulled the wedding veil over her face, but she saw his face whispering, "Hitomi..." She sighed and looked at her wedding dress. It was made of white silk and was truly beautiful with the pearls and white sequins that covered the bodice making it shimmer.
It had been three years since she had left Gaea and returned to her home, the Mystic Moon. 'Funny how I never call it Earth anymore.' She thought. When she had arrived home for the second time, she had awoken in that familiar hospital room again, with bandages wrapped around her head. When she opened her eyes, she was staring into the face of her all-but-forgotten first love, Amano.
"A-Amono?"
"Stay in bed Hitomi, you got a nasty bruise from returning from wherever it is that you went."
"Amano... I missed you..." Which was a half lie. True she had missed Amano for quite some time after landing on Gaea, the world with two moons in the sky. But then she had fallen, fallen in love with Van.
"I missed you too..." He replied kissing her on the cheek as her face turned a bright crimson.
It had progressed from there. Hitomi and Amano had gone on many dates, but her inward love for Van remained. She was able to talk to Van through her mind, some reaction of the pendant she supposed. But one day about a year ago, there had been no reply from Van, and Hitomi had never felt so alone.
'Well fine, if he doesn't want to talk to me, I won't ever speak to him again!' She had tried to forget about Van, and to concentrate on Amano, but it was so hard to let go. Everywhere she went, everything she did reminded her some way of him. 'Is this love?' She wondered. 'Not being able to let go of someone, even if they hurt you?'
Hitomi's parents raved about what a fine boy Amano was, and her brother thought that Amano was cool. One day, Amano had proposed to her. She had not known what to do, she was dumbfounded. This was the second marriage proposal directed at her in less than three years... 'What do I have to lose, it's not like I'll ever see him again...' She argued with herself. Hope still lingered but none-the-less, she had said, "Yes."
Now, as she sat in the bride's dressing room on her wedding day, she wasn't sure she had made the right decision. She sighed as she brushed her shoulder length chestnut hair.
"Hitomi?" Asked the familiar voice of her best friend Yukari.
"Oh. Hey Yukari."
"What's wrong Hitomi?" Her best friend asked with concern.
"Nothing."
"Don't give me that Hitomi Kanzaki! I've been your best friend forever, I know when something's bugging you."
"I'm just not sure...
"About what?"
"If this marriage is the right thing to do..."
"Oh c'mon Hitomi, Amano's a great guy, you're lucky to have him..." Hitomi was too absorbed in her won thoughts to notice the sad look that spread across Yukari's face as she reassured her.
"I guess you're right."
Hitomi looked at her watch, "Oh gosh, it's starting!" Hitomi exclaimed, trying not to trip over her dress as she ran out the door.
"You're my very best friend Hitomi, and I want you to be happy." She whispered after her friend had exited. 'Even if I'm not...' She silently added to herself.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
As Hitomi entered the room, the talk and laughter ceased, and the organ music echoed throughout the small church.
There were whispers of, "Isn't she lovely?" and "Amano's a lucky man!" As she made her way down the aisle.
It seemed like she had walked for an eternity, when she finally made it to Amano and the elderly minister. Amano was wearing the same suit he had worn on that night. The night when a boy fell from the sky and slew that awful dragon. The night when she had been sent away with that boy to Gaea. A beautiful world embraced by the heavens, loved by the land, and cradled by the sea.
She went hurling back to reality when Amano said, "I do."
The minister continued with Hitomi's vows, but when she was supposed to say her, "I do" a flurry of feathers fell from the sky.
The guests wondered at the pearly white feathers as Hitomi whispered, "He's calling me..."
"Who's calling you?" Amano asked.
Before she could give him her answer the minister said, "Surely this is a sigh from the angels of heaven that this union is a good one, Now Miss Hitomi, your 'I do...'"
"I don't." Hitomi replied.
"What?!" The minister and Amano exclaimed as the guests murmured about her unexpected response.
"I don't think this marriage is right for you, or me, or... Yukari..." Hitomi said pointing at her sobbing friend.
"... Amano, you and Yukari belong together, because Yukari... well she loves you Amano..."
"Yukari?" Amano asked in surprise.
"Oh Amano!" Yukari cried out as she jumped into his arms.
"But what about you Hitomi?" Yukari asked through happy tears.
"Oh, don't worry, someone's waiting for me..." Hitomi replied as she was bathed in blue light and disappeared.
The guests looked upward in shock, it wasn't every day that the bride vanished through the ceiling. While they were gaping, Amano and Yukari kissed to seal their everlasting love.
