Chapter 1- What Do I Do?

Hitomi's POV

" But we can see each other anytime right? So long as our thoughts reach each other"

Yes, I remember it so clearly, my tears, his warmth. Van means everything to me. He is my world. It pained me so much that I had to leave him. To be so far away from him, right when I realized I love him. And he sent me back. But, those words meant everything to me. He saved my heart from being broken by saying that.

I wonder how he is doing?

Its been two years since I've heard from him.

Two years since I've come back to earth.

Two years since I saw his face. His beautiful brown eyes, his black silky hair. And those wings, his pure white wings. I miss him.

I miss Van.

Normal POV

It has been two years since Hitomi returned to earth and everything was perfectly normal. In those two years she finally graduating high school and is on her last week of school. Yukari and Amano became a couple due to Hitomi confessing to her friend about the truth.

"Hitomi, what are you going to do after grad?" asked Yukari while walking home with her. She got no answer. She noticed that Hitomi was staring at something. Why is this girl staring at the ocean?

"Hitomi?"

No answer.

"HITOMI!!!" Yukari screamed for the final time.

"Huh what? Ah sorry Yukari, I was just..." and Hitomi stopped midway. She didn't know what to say. Her mind if so full of Van she doesn't know what to say.

"Hitomi...your thinking of someone aren't you?" said Yukari sitting on the railing, " Hitomi talk to me, I'm your best friend and it feels like we've just meant. You don't have to tell me everything but just tell me something, your spacing out alot." she said looking at the girl with a worried look.

Hitomi looked into the horizon and narrowed her eyes. Never in her life have she felt so alone. She felt...incomplete. "Yukari, if Amano-senpai lived in America and you miss him dearly, what would you do?" she asked.

"Hmm, I would go see him." she answer straightforward. Hitomi eyes widen and looked at her friend.

" You heard me, I would definitely see him. Come on Hitomi, if you loved someone so much you wouldn't let anything ruin it would you?"

"Ah..." Hitomi couldn't say anything. She just stood there quietly letting tears fall down her cheeks. Yukari got up and hugged her. "You need to follow what your heart tells you Hitomi. If you love this person whoever he is, then go to him." Hitomi nodded and continued crying a bit longer.

Later Hitomi didn't reach home till around 6pm and ate her dinner and went to her room. She lay on the bed and stared at nothing. Should I really go back? How would Van react if he saw me? AAAh I don't know what to do!! But, I love him...and he still loves me right?


Gaea

"Van-sama, what are you thinking about?" purred Merle popping her head in front of him.

"Hmmm" was all he said.

"VAN-SAMA!!!" screamed Merle pulling his cheeks.

"ITAI MERLE!!!!" Van shouted rubbing his cheeks, "What the hell was that for?!"

"You were thinking of Hitomi weren't you?" she said looking at him. He partly gasped and looked away trying to avoid Merle's eyes. He looked into the distance and flashbacks of Hitomi popped into his mind. He too, was yearning for her. It's been long since he's seen her. He misses her stubbornness, her strong will, everything. Hitomi, what are you doing now? Are you happy? Are you sad? Do you even remember me? His heart felt a pang as he thought of that last question. Has Hitomi really forgotten about him? Should Van move on?


"Hitomi?" asked middle-aged women poking her head threw the girl's door. Hitomi looked up and turned around. "Mom? What's the matter?" she asked sitting up.

"I should be the one asking you dear. You seem so down." her mother asked sitting beside her. Right away Hitomi started crying and lay on her mother's lap.

"Mom, I don't know what to do..."

"Hitomi, if you love that boy then you should be with him." her mother said stroking her hair. " Your an adult now and your graduating high school, follow your heart and make your own decisions. Just know that your mother always going to back you up."

"But mom, I don't have my pendant, I gave it to Van." she said still sobbing.

"So? That doesn't stop you from getting to him does it? Love will always find a way Hitomi, you just need to believe." Hitomi perked up and smiled. "Your right mom, but are you sure about this?" she said rubbing her eyes.

"Huh? Why wouldn't I? As long as you invite me to the wedding and have children I'll be fine" Mrs. Kanzaki said holding up a peace sign. Hitomi sweet dropped and wonder if that really is her mother.

Next day everything seemed perfectly normal. She went to school, laughed with her friends, and went to track practise. Yukari said that she was walking home with Amano and apologized to Hitomi. But, Hitomi said she was staying back awhile anyways. The short haired brunette ran about 10 laps and stop to take a rest. There, she sat staring at the sky. Then it finally registered in her mind that she was indeed graduating. And she would be free to do whatever she wants. Would she get on with life and become a normal person? Or find a way to get back to Gaea, the world her love lives in?

Gaea

Van was outside practising his sword and stopped for a rest. He sat by a near by tree and stared up at the sky. Even in Gaea the sun was too setting. He closed his eyes remembering the moments he embrace Hitomi, telling her that he would never let her go again. He realizes that he did let her go. What if Hitomi thinks that I don't love her? What if Hitomi was expecting me to come get her? And I disappointed her? Questions kept running through his mind. But then the three words flashed into his mind.

" I Love You Van."

Those words somehow put at ease. But not for long.


Both lovers watched the sun set and they had the very same thought on their mind.

"I Want To See You."


Hitomi stood up and dusted her shorts. She picked up her bag and stared up at the sky then straight in front of her. Standing there, stood a boy with black hair, smiling at her. She blinked once and only realized it was an illusion. Her heart sank as she dropped her bag and covered her eyes.

"No...I must be seeing things...Van couldn't be here. It's just my mind playing tricks on me." Suddenly tears started flowing from her eyes. Hitomi has never felt this way before. Was it loneliness? Was it Pain? It could be anything but one thing she knew she need.

"Van...I can't stand it no more...Come get me Van...Come rescue me from this place...VAN I NEED YOU RIGHT NOW VAN!!! VAN!!" As she screamed and non-stop tears flowed down her rosy cheeks a flash of light engulfed her whole being. Next thing she knew she was sitting on grass. She gasped as she hurried to her feet. She noticed lights coming from somewhere and as she drew closer her eyes widen. There, standing on the edge of a cliff was Fanelia.

"I'm...Back...I'm back in Gaea...In Fanelia!!!" she said smiling.

Van and Merle were both sitting on the roof top of one of the windmills when Merle ears shot up and she stood on all fours. Van opened one of his eyes and looked at her. "What the matter Merle?" he questioned sitting up and looking at the direction she looking at. That one sentence she said made Van jumped up and jump off the roof and started running.

" I can smell Hitomi's scent, in the forest."
