Author's Note: Look! Look! The fourth's chapter! So so so sorry!!! *bows repeatedly* My teachers gave me so much homework, I didn't have time to write up another chapter, plus, I had a major case writter's block!! No fair! No really, I did... well, whether you believe me or not, here's the next chapter for you! ^^ Enjoy!
It was night-time. The stars shown brightly in the sky where the Mystic Moon hung. Van sat in his room, deep in thought.
"Another vision.... How did touching this cause such a horrible one?" he thought.
Flashback:
Hitomi's fingers brushed against the chain and instantly fainted. He caught her before she hit the ground and started calling out her name without any success. He lifted the chain to his face to get a closer look, but Hitomi started squirming.
"Hitomi?" Van asked and she let out a scream. He placed his hands on her shoulders, shaking her a bit. "Hitomi! Hitomi!"
Her eyes suddenly opened, filled with shock.
End Flashback
"I'll have to ask the council about this next time. Maybe they'll know."
With that, he climbed into his bed and fell asleep, faster than ever.
Hitomi opened her eyes. Pitch black, everything was pitch black. It felt like she was falling, but couldn't tell for sure.
"What? Another vision again?" she thought to herself. She tried to call Van's name, but nothing escaped her lips. A pair of red eyes stared at her from somewhere in the dark. Just then, she felt like she had just hit the ground, hard.
A bright light shined onto her face, waking her and forcing her to shield her eyes with her hands to block out the light. She looked around, but did not know where she was at all. She layed in a soft, light pink king sized bed in a huge room that she did not recognize either. From far in the distance, she could hear a muffled conversation.
"Is she alright?" came a high-pitched voice.
"Merle?" Hitomi thought.
"I think so. She hasn't waken up yet." Hitomi recognized the second voice as Van's. This time, she decided to wait a little bit longer.
"What happened to her?" Merle asked. Silence.
"I'll tell you later, ok?" Van replied.
She tried to force herself to sit up and get out of bed once again, but this time, a little bit slower, but in the process, she used up all of her energy and fell back onto the bed and closed her eyes from the exhaustion.
Hitomi opened her eyes to find herself running through a dark alley, someone was chasing after her. She took a quick glance around her shoulder. A tall hooded figure chased her, but didn't slow down, no matter what Hitomi did to try to loose him.
"No matter where you go, I will find you and get you."
She stopped suddenly, a wall towering over her head. She spun around, the figure slowly started making his way to her. An evil laugh escaped his lips.
"You are a very useful tool," he said to her. "Come with me peacefully or else."
"I'm going no where with you!" she screamed out. "And I'm not a tool either!"
He rushed at her. Hitomi let out an ear piercing scream, but covered her mouth with his hands. She tried to fight back, and luckily, she didn't blacked out... yet.
"With the help of your power, I will rule this world and soon, the Mystic Moon!" An evil smile crossed his lips. Hitomi suddenly went light-headed and blacked out.
Hitomi poped up in her bed, sweat all over her face and the blanket and pillows from her bed thrown all over the place. The clock on her nightstand said 4:43.
"Oh, gosh...," she sighed and got out of bed and picked up the blanker and pillows and went to the bathroom to wash her face.
"This is getting to weird. Why now? I haven't had a vision for about three years." She brought a dripping wet cloth to her face. "Only a few months left until I graduate. I hope this doesn't affect my grades in any way."
Hitomi slumped back towards her bed and practically fell on it and that's how her brother found her the next morning.
"Hitomi!" called her younger brother. "Hey, Hitomi! You have a phone call," he said, shaking her awake.
"What?" she said, waking up slowly.
"You have a phone call," he repeated and handed her the cordless phone and left.
"Oh thanks. Hello?" she said, still slumped in her bed.
"So you're finally awake, huh?" It was Yukari. "Amano and I are going to the mall today. You want to come?"
"I don't know... I don't feel so good right now...."
"Oh, come on! You'll feel better! Besides, you'll need this break before you have to take all those entrance exams." (AN. They ARE in Japan, ok?)
"Ok, fine. What time?"
"Well, let's see... it's 11:15 right now...."
"What?? 11:15?!!" she said, sitting up in her bed.
"Yes, Sleeping Beauty! 11:15. We're going around 2, ok? We'll come over there then."
"Ok, bye."
"Bye."
They hung up the phone.
"That vision must have really taken a lot out of me..." she said to herself and got out of her bed and walked to the bathroom to wash and change.
"Yes, this is very interesting...," said Hiroku, Minister of History, an old man with a long grey beard. He had been on the council way before the Zaibach attack. "Legends has it that this disappeared when Queen Varie went into the forest. We'll have to look this up."
"Keep me informed," Van said. "Is there any other business?"
Takino spoke up.
"Yes, about the ball."
Van had forgotten about that and he hoped they had too, but obviously not. He slumped in his chair once again.
"What about it?"
"Have you thought of a date when it will be held?" he questioned.
"No... look, why don't you do it and give me a report about why the date that you chose is a good time, and I'll see if it's a good or not, ok?" he said, controlling his anger, a peircing stare, daring him to disagree. "Is there anything else?"
He looked around.
"Then this will conclude the meeting," he said and got up to leave. He stepped out the door.
"Good, no Merle this time. I need to go and stretch my wings." he said to himself, rubbing his back a bit.
Hitomi looked at the clock. 1:49. She a pair of khaki pants with a baby blue t-shirt.
"God, I hope HE isn't coming... I forgot to ask Yukari about that."
Hitomi heard a knock at the door and went to open it. Once again, there stood Yukari, but this time, Saiken wasn't in the car. A wave of relief washed over Hitomi.
"Mom, I'm going!" Hitomi called into the kitchen.
"Have a good time, honey!" her mom answered.
With that, they went to Amano's car.
An hour later, they were still walking around the mall, going in and out of different ones everytime they saw something that caught their eyes.
"Oh! You guys want to stop and get something to eat?" Yukari asked.
"Sure!" agreed Hitomi. "I didn't eat breakfast this time," she thought to herself.
"Ok."
They got their food and went to sit down. Hitomi suddenly saw something that caught her eye. It was Saiken.
"What is he doing here?" she thought to herself, glaring at him as he came into the door.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you. Saiken was the one that planned this," Yukari said.
Hitomi turned to Yukari, somewhat shocked with an unbelieving expression on her face.
"Mind if I sit here?"
Hitomi turned and looked at him.
"Sure," she said, controlling her urge to just get up and leave. She moved in (AN. They're sitting in one of those chairs that makes a half-circle).
Hitomi not noticing his movements, was shocked when he planted a peck on her cheeks.
"Oh my god! He really think that we're going out now!" she said to herself in her mind. "What did I do to lead him onto this?"
Sorry, had to cut it short. ^^; I had to post up something because... it'll be a long while until I can post up another thing. It's Spring Break for me and I don't even have time to do much of anything! Arg!!! Well, keep the reviews coming and I'll try to update as much as I can ok?? Thankies!!
Oh! I promise the next chapter will be better and somewhat longer (if possible).
