Three years since that fateful day.
Hitomi sat on the cold steel bleachers her feet planted firmly inches away from the maroon pavement. A color that reminded her of that horrible, wonderful dream three years ago. Who would have thought that time here on Earth stopped the second she was taken by fate. As if it had never happened to her in the first place, all of it a dream.
But seeing him, sitting on those rocks wings spread in all their glory, name slipping past her lips she knew better. She was just fine, though her soul ached for the awkward teenage king that stole her heart unexpectedly.
Her foot kicked at a loose rock in the dirt she watched as it skidded to a stop in the middle of a lane. She'd changed since then, both in body and mind and it made her wonder; just how much had Van changed in all these years. Sighing she stood glancing down the track she spent so much time on, graduating seemed to put everything in perspective for her. Well not everything, but most of her life was already laid out in front of her. She'd gotten into a rather prestigious school on a track scholarship, and with the right job, Hitomi was sure she could graduate in the four years or even less time.
Sighing she looked up at the sky her mind drifting once again back to Gaea. The final day beside the man who'd stolen her heart and she would never forgive for it. Words had fallen from her lips that she had no intention to say, terrible, ignorant words that didn't convey what she felt. But then again, she was only fifteen at the time. Of course it couldn't have been those three words she'd wanted to say, words her brain was screaming out but wouldn't form on her lips.
Hitomi stood, dusting off her backside quickly walking back towards the gate when his face flashed in front of her, his warm maroon eyes shining up at her when she spoke that last time. There was something in his smile, just before that magical light took her away. He knew Van could read her mind and he knew; the smile he returned to her said those words back.
Her head hung for a moment, now long hair falling around her cheeks covering her eyes a little. With a look of determination she turned around, looking at that 100 meter white line, taking a familiar stance she bent down concentrating hard. "GO!" Reverberated in her ears and Hitomi's feet lifted off the ground.
Hey, Velvet here. I'm going to say this is me playing about just for now, could be a running fiction. I don't have a beta, so if something doesn't make sense let me know.
Comment it and I'll post chapter two, it should be a wee bit longer. This is so short!
