Chapter One: Wishing

'Why did it have to start raining now?' Hitomi Kanzaki thought to herself as she looked up at the dark clouds looming ever closer. She was really looking forward to track practice after hearing Mr. Troxel drone on and on for an hour about Newton's law of Motion. The sky had been threatening rain all day long, but none had come. It wasn't until the track team just started their warm-ups that the flash of lightning and the clash of thunder came, bringing a shower of tiny raindrops upon their backs.
"Everyone inside!" Yukari, the track team's captain called, "Practice is cancelled. I'll see you all next week."
Hitomi took one more look at the sky before opening her umbrella. She breathed a sigh, heaved her backpack onto her shoulders and began to walk home.
Now what am I supposed to do for the next two hours? she thought to herself.
'You could study for that math test you have tomorrow' said a nasty little voice inside her head.
Shut up
'Make me!'
Fine…And with that, Hitomi put on her headphones and turned her walkman on full blast.
'Unfair...'


"I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought you'd be here by now

There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home..."

'You miss him, admit it.' The little voice was back again.
I thought I told you to shut up.
'You can't shut me up. I AM what you are THINKING!'
Oh...right...
'Admit that you miss him. It's been over two years. It's ok to want to see him again. You're not doing anything wrong.'
I know...
'...so...'
Alright, I admit it...I miss him...a lot
'There. Feel better?'
Hitomi pulled her jacket closer around her as a cold breeze brushed past her.
Oh, Van. I miss you so much.

On another planet, a young man with raven black hair could bee seen lying in the grass, watching the Fanelian sky go from yellow to bright pink, crimson red and finally into inky blackness. Fanelian sunsets were always wonderful to watch, but he wished that he could share it with someone. He began to finger the pendent hanging around his neck as he thought of the one person he wanted to be with.
His dark red eyes filled with wonder as he thought about that girl from the Mystic Moon, who saved Gaia, the heroine of the Great War, and the woman he loved.
'Hitomi, please come back...soon'

Hitomi had been walking for about 20 minutes when she finally came up to her house. It was when she reached out to open the gate that it hit her.
'Something doesn't feel right' she said to herself.
*Flash*Hitomi felt a sharp pain in her chest. Flash. A single, white feather drifted slowly towards the ground and landed in a puddle of blood. The feather was glowing… (A/N: Yes, that was a vision.)
Hitomi inhaled sharply and blinked a fair few times. The rain had stopped but the sky was still as cloudy as ever. The gate she had reached for was now wide open.
'Did I just have a vision?' Hitomi pondered, 'The last time I had a vision, I was on Gaia. What does it mean?'
The feeling of uneasiness didn't leave her as she approached her front door, in fact, it got worse.
Hitomi went to put the key in the door when she noticed shards of broken glass littered the floor. The front door was already open. The uneasy feeling in her stomach quickly turned into panic when she took a step inside her once organized house. Drawers were open, papers littered the floor, every piece of furniture was out of place.
Hitomi's heart jumped as she heard the front door slam behind her. She turned around sharply to see a man in his late twenty's standing before her, eyes crazed and full of malice.
"Boo..." The man whispered.
Hitomi sensed that someone was behind her, but before she could turn around, the butt end of a gun hit her in the head and she fell into darkness...


A/N: That's it. That's the end of chapter one. Sorry it's short but I want to leave you in suspense. *grins devilishly* Review or I won't write anymore. Flames are welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I promise to answer all of them in my next chapter. I promise the next chapter will be better, and hopefully longer. This is just a test to see if my story is worth reading. Until next time,
See ya...
