Heavens Not Enough

Prologue

Hitomi smiled from ear to ear at the sound of Allen's voice, calling out her name. She turned to see tha tall blonde knight standing infront of her, his normal regal mask on his face. She could only count on one hand the amount of times she had seen the man smile, but still, over the last two months she had become quiet fond of him.

"Allen!" she cried and jogged forward stopping infront of his frame. He looked down at her with a gentle look on his face. His hand reached forward and touched her shoulder as the sky opened above them standing on the bridge. The rain came down relentlessly as he looked down at her, his blue eyes meeting her brown. Heat raced up her neck as she gazed at him.

"Hitomi. I want you to be my wife." his words cut across her whole being, stilling her racing heart. Her hair plastered to her face as she looked into his face, a serious frown there. Her heart began to beat again, in its rythmatic pace. Her eyes never parted his, even when he leaned down and captured her lips with his. They were small, thin and wet and hitomi blushed at her first kiss. He pulled away and gazed down at her, a small smile on his lips.

Turning to her right she saw a figure standing there, in the rain with them, a sad expression on his face. Her heart lurched at that look. She couldnt understand it. She reached out to him as he began to turn away but she felt the hand on her shoulder tighten, Allen calling her name. She paused and looked up at him.

"hitimoi?" he asked her again, awaiting her reply to his request. Although she looked into his pale blue eyes all she could think of was Van's retreating form. She smilled sadly at him, accepting his request for marrige. She was in love with him after all... right?

A whole week had passed and she had seen no sign of Van. He was avoiding her, she was sure of it. Sighing again she looked over herself in the full mirror. She was wearing a long white dress, many layers of frabric all covered in many frills. She smilled at herself. She was pleased, even though she thought it looked a little fruffy. She twirled the skirt in her hands slightly, feeling the heavy fabric pull her down. A small tiara littered with blue diamonds adorned her hair. A matching blue necklace and braclets. The blue didnt really suit her but it was at Allen's request that she wore it, and she did gladly. The door to the room bust open, admitting a flustered Merlerna.

"Hitomi! Come on! If you don't hurry yourown wedding!" grabbing at her arm she pulled her out of the room, her heels clicking along the marble floor of the palace. She watched the blonde hair woman pull her along and wondered how she was feeling about all of this. I twas no secret, after all, that she was madly in love with Allen, and now here she was, stealing him away from her. Somewhere she felt guilty that Merlerna was missing out.

To her left, as she was pulled to an abrupt stop at the doors to the courtyard, she saw a figure clad in his usual red top and beige pants, sword firmly attacted. She frown at the glare he was giving her. Their eyes met, brown for brown and she felt her heart freeze. He sneered with a humph and pushed away from the wall and into the courtyard.

"Right, you remember to walk slowly, hold yourself up right.... there are lots of nobles here to watch...Hitomi!" Hitmoi snapped her attention back to her bridesmaid. With a groan of frustration Merlerna opened her mouth to go over everything again but stopped, a panicked look on her face as the music started to play. Turning abruptly she walked out, her footsteps all in sequence, she seemed to float down the aisle and Hitomi wondered if it she be Merelerna's day, not hers. Merlena reached the point where she stood and shot a glare at Hitomi, who hadn't started moving. Snapping back to reality she began to walk down the aisle.

She couldn't help but count the many times she missed a beat, nearly tripping on the long trail of her skirt. Still she plastered a smile on her face as she looked at the many faces watching her make her way. Her eyes landed on Allen's and immediately looked to the gorund. Standing just to Allen's right was Van and he didn't look pleased. But when did he ever? She thought snidly. She stopped standing infront of Allen and wished that he would smile, that he would break down those defences, just for one day. Their special day.

She heard the voice of the head priest as he began the ceremony. Her eyes were dragged from Allen's face and into Van's intense ones. Her heart began to beat irratically at his look. Suddenly she felt loss, all alone, and like she was doing the wrong thing. A vision hit her suddenly rendering her body stiff with its intensity. She saw the city burning, people screaming out in pain, all because of her marrige to Allen. She saw Merlerna dead, Merle was dead too and Van was still fighting, saving her from the enemy. A scream tore from her mouth which started the crowd.

She fell to her knees her hands shaking with the effort to stop the tears, Van rushed forwrad, crouched infront her her, worry all over his face.

"...I will kill everyone..." her voice shook with fear. Van's eyes widened at her statement. Hitomi began shaking her head over and over again. A pink glow started from within her bossom, where her pendant lay.

"I won't let it happen. I won't let you die because of me." suddenly a pillar of blue light engulfed her being and she felt lighter as she began assending into the air. She looked at Allen, shock marred his face. She could here a man shouting her name to her right. Looking she saw Van stand up tall reaching up for her, his hand nearly touching her own. She felt her heart break at loosing them all so soon, but she knew it was for the best, for the safety of all Gaea. The light sped up and she was whisked away into the night, Van's voice following her with so much pain in that one word.

"HITOMI!!!!"
