The Continuation of Eternal Love


"Ukari, can you run up to my room to get my jacket?" Hitomi stood patiently near the doors of her school.

"Sure thing!" Her best friend ran upstairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In the land of Geah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Merle watched Van jealously. "Oh, what seems to be bothering you Lord Van?" She saw him staring at the pendant Hitomi had given to him before she left to go back to the mystic moon. They were in a forest, where his brother's grave stood.

"Grrr....I can't stand it! I have to see her again!!!" He yelled towards the sky.

"Oh, but it's only been 5 hours since she left. You need to see her again?" Merle was getting REALLY jealous. Even though Hitomi was gone, Kanzaki still got all the attention.

"That's it, I need to see her! I was so stupid, letting her go back!" He raised the draconian energy patch above his head.

"No! Lord Van, don't!" Merle cried as a blue beam began to flicker.

Just then, it shone all around him. Van closed his eyes and slowly lifted off. He began to ascend to earth, clutching the pendant tightly. When he was 2 meters off of the ground, Merle dashed to him.

"Lord Van!!!" She jumped and grabbed hold of Van's feet, going up with him.

Ukari opened Hitomi's dorm door and walked in, to see a 15 year old guy, and a freaky cat-girl. "AHhhh! What are you do- wait a minute.... Oh my GOSH!!! You're the one Hitomi, Amano, and I saw at the track, aren't you?" She cried.

"Uhh.....yeah....where's Hitomi?" The boy who had claimed to be Van of Fanelia looked around curiously.

"But, who is SHE?" Ukari pointed at Merle.

"Hey, don't make fun of me." Merle stuck her tongue out. :P "My name is Merle, and I"m Van's best friend."

"Uh....HITOMI!!!" Ukari ran down, grabbed Hitomi, ran back up, and shoved her friend inside.

Hitomi heard the door slam behind her and was left to stand, face to face with the love of her life. "VAN!!!!!!!" She cried and hugged Van tightly.

"Uhh...please...." Van was turning blue. "I can't breathe..." o.O

"Oh, sorry...heh..." Hitomi blushed but then noticed a cat's tail wagging behind him. "You have a tail now?" She yanked at it and Merle popped her head from behind Van. "WHAT!!!! MERLE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! I HATE HOW- Van dear, you can have a seat on my chair, AND AS FOR YOU MERLE, I WISH YOU CAN JUST STAY IN ONE SPOT FOR ONCE! Oh, Van, are you hungry?" After he shook his head, she continued. "YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO RUIN THINGS MERLE! WHY I OTTA!"

"Hitomi, Hitomi, calm down. She can stay here, and we'll go down together." Van stood and took Hitomi's face into his hands. "You look so beatiful..."

Hitomi blushed and took his hand, leading him out to Amano's dorm. "MERLE, YOU STAY HERE!"

"ok...." She cowarded to Hitomi's bed.

They walked down the hall and stopped a few doors later.

"Hitomi! What a lovely- who's this?" Amano stared at Van. "No way...you're-"

"Van of Fanelia, yes." The prince nodded.

Hitomi butted in the conversation. "Uhh, Amano? I was wondering if he could use some of your clothes. I don't think people here are gonna think Van's clothes are.....normal..." She looked from Van's red, ragged shirt to his slightly-tight, white pants, which were slightly ripped from battling.

"I-I guess so..." Amano left, and returned with some baggy jeans and a green t-shirt. "Here, these sre the only ones I never wear, so you can fit them." He handed them to Van, who looked them over wonderingly.

(oh, and if you want to know what he would look like in these clothes, e-mail me. ;) )

Fifteen minutes later, Van stepped out of the restroom, looking like a totally hot teenager.

"Wow...Van....you look....cute...." Hitomi was impressed, but Amano looked at Van with envy on his face.

Fannel and Kanzaki headed down to the school's main lobby, where girls were checking him out.

"How lucky she is..." Hitomi heard one of them say. To make the group of girls even more mad, she wrapped her arm around Van's neck and pulled him down into a deep kiss.

Van blushed and looked shocked, thinking, 'Wow, she's a good kisser..." He blushed deeper and closed his eyes.

Just then Ukari and Amano came down and stared at them with their jaws on the floor. "What the?!!" They said in unison.

Van and Hitomi broke apart and looked at Ukari, who was standing beside the completely shocked Amano. They turned calmly and headed out.

"Van..what are you doing here..I mean, I'm so happy to see you, but why did you come here?" Hitomi linked arms with him.

Fannel looked down, "I couldn't stay away. Besides, I have many servants to maintain Fanelia, so I wanted to come here. I missed you too much to stay away. I love you Hitomi...I do..and nothing can keep me away from you." He kissed her gently on the cheek.

"Aww...I love you aswell. But how are you going to stay here...unnoticed? What if one of my teachers..or my principal come in to my dorm and see you there?" Hitomi rested her head on his shoulder as they sat on a park bench.

"Why don't I become...a...what do you call it..? Oh yeah! A student?" He suggested.

"Hmm... that might work." Hitomi looked up to the sky. "I could sign you up and say that you are a friend coming for a temporary school transfer. I hope it'll work."

"So he's a friend of yours huh? What was his previous school?" The principal examined Van, eyeing him suspiciously.

"His name is Van Fannel. He..uh...came from Australia..yeah..and, so, you can't really get his school information...I tried...heh heh.." Hitomi giggled nervously. She looked into Van's eyes and saw the trust in them. This made her confident. "Please, he's not even going to be here long, maybe a month of a bit more...but certaintly not close to half a year. Just let him see the education system here. If he likes it, then perhaps you can ask him more questions. But please...let him stay...uh..uh...he has no where else...his parents are..are dead!" She broke down into fake tears, hoping it would convince the principal enough.

The older man removed his glasses and looked at Van with sympathy. Hitomi's plan seemed to do the trick. "Alright...we'll keep an eye on your prgress-"

"Oh thank you!!! Thank you so much!!" Hitomi jumped up and hugged the man, who was slightly taken aback. "You don't know how much this means to me..err.. I mean, him! He's so grateful!!"

"If that's so , why don't you let the young man say it himself." The principal shook Hitomi off and shook hands with Van.

"Thank you sir. I truely am grateful for your acceptance." Van took Hitomi by her hand and began to head out of the office.

"Ohh...Hitomi..I see you have a boyfriend. How sweet." The principal teased.

"Oh, Mr. Hajitoko. Please..." Hitomi blushed and walked out of the stuffy cubicle. "Well," She inhaled fresh air. "I'm glad that was over." She smiled at Van.

"Yeah..well...at least...now we can be together longer..." He stopped walking and turned to face Hitomi. "Oh..Hitomi...how could I have let this beautiful face of yours leave me? And your pure heart...oh.." He moaned lovingly, leaning towards her, his eyes closing.

Hitomi did the same and felt his lips touch hers. He then began kissing her with such an intensity, she thought she could melt in his arms just by the heat of his mouth. The sound of a distant whistle made Hitomi brake off with a start. "Oh no! The track meet!" She grabbed Van's hand and bounded off, towards the race track behind her school.
