Chapter Ten

Hitomi's wings return

The air ship took off and every one was excited to be going to Astoria but none as please as Allen for this was his home land he would once again see his sister Celena who was being cared for by the eldest daughter of Astoria princess Aries.

On the second night and eerie feeling came across the ship and a dens fog entered the sky.

"Commander this isn't normal." Kiyo said to Allen as Allen gazed around.

"Your right this isn't normal." Allen repeated to they crew.

The sky was now black and every one was on alert then they all heard screaming come from Aiko's room Van and Hitomi rushed in her room along with Allen and a few other crew members.

"Aiko what's going on are you okay!" Van said opening the door.

"I saw a man wearing a black robe and his face was covered." Aiko said trying to calm down.

"But sweetie there's no one here are you sure you saw some one? Are you sure that it wasn't a bad dream?" Hitomi said to her daughter trying to calm her sitting bye her side.

"No I saw him I really did." Aiko was calmer now but still insisting on seeing the man.

The airship began to shake at that time Allen then decided to return to the head of the ship to see what was going on.

Van went with him leaving Falcon and Aiko with Hitomi.

When Van and Allen reached the front of the ship they saw a storm like they had never seen before they agreed that maybe they should try and land till the storm passed. It was then every light was blown out by some kind of wind that rushed through the entire ship.

Van and Allen heard screams they knew who it was Hitomi Aiko and Falcon they did there best to get back to them in the dark when they got there Hitomi and Aiko were gone.

"Falcon what happened where are they?" Van asked his son.

"It was a man and he took Aiko momma went after him." Falcon told his father.

Hitomi had chased Mullo to the bow of the ship.

"Give her back to me please! Mullo put her down." Hitomi pleaded with him.

Aiko was unconscious in his arms and Hitomi was at his mercy. The lightning crashed behind then the rain stared to poor Mullo has no where to go and he couldn't teleport with another person he would have to fly he chose then to spread his wings and he turned his back to leap off the bow Hitomi jumped on his back.

"No I won't let you take her!" Hitomi screamed Van and Allen reached the bow of the ship and witnessed the whole thing. Hitomi lunged at Mullo as he was about to take off sending all three over the edge of the bow Mullo flew away while he could.

Van and Allen ran to the edge neither one could see them. Van spread his wings and was going to go after them when Allen stopped him.

"Van you can't the storm you know your wings cant handle this weather I know you want to try and save them Van but if you don't come back your son will be all alone do you really want to put that on him as it was put on to you!!" Allen yelled at him Van hung his head and turned from the bow then fell to his knees crying.

Meanwhile while Hitomi and Aiko were falling Hitomi had grabbed Aiko and held her in her arms and closed her eyes.

"I will not let my daughter die." She said then concentrated on the task at hand a light came from with in her dissipating the storm entirely leaving Van and Allen speech less as to what was going on the sun began to shine since morning was now upon them then out of no where Hitomi's wings sprouted out just in time to save Aiko and her self then with her wins she flew back up to the airship.

"Momma… I thought we were going to die." Aiko said with tears streaming down her face.

"I would never let anything happen to you my never fading flower." Hitomi said as they neared the airship.

"Momma you have wings like daddy does why haven't you ever showed them to Falcon and I before now?" Aiko asked her mother.

"I thought my wings were gone for good that's why." Hitomi felt her wings starting to give out they were so close she reached for the edge of the bow.

"Aiko hold on tight to me!" Hitomi yelled at her daughter.

Van and Allen were looking around them.

"How could a storm just vanish like that?" Van said to Allen then Allen saw a hand grab the bow.

"Van look!" He yelled pointing at the hand that appeared.

"Hitomi is that you!?" He asked yelling as they both rushed over to her.

They saw Hitomi her wings were still out and drooping she looked exhausted.

They pulled her up along with Aiko. Hitomi then passed out in Vans arms.

"Momma, is she alright daddy?" Aiko questioned with tears.

"She'll be fine Aiko don't worry." Van said smiling at his daughter but gave Allen a concerned look while picking her up to rest in their room.

Allen walked in to their room a half hour later to see if she was a wake get but there was no change.

"Still no change?" Allen said walking in.

"No not yet Allen this has me worried." Van said to his friend.

"We're coming into Astoria with in the hour I thought I would let you know that. I'll leave you alone now." Allen said and was about to walk out the door when Van spoke to him.

"Allen do you think she's okay?" Van asked his. Allen smiled as his hand was on the door knob.

"I'm sure she's fine Van she's a fighter you of all people should know that by now it would take more than this to take her from you." He stated then left the room.

Two hours later Hitomi had been moved into more comfortable sleeping arrangements for they were now in Astoria Allen went to see his sister while Van waited news about Hitomi's condition.

"Van she's just fine she's just over exerted her self that's all she should wake up by morning I promise." Millerna said smiling at her friend. They then hear the children running in the halls playing with one another.

"Well they seem to get along well." Millerna said referring to her son and daughter playing with Van's children.

"Yes it seems that they do." Van said then laughed a little.

Millerna was already thinking what cute couples her son Aramis and Van's daughter Aiko would make not to mention Falcon and her daughter Christine. Van could tell what she was thinking but said nothing to her.

The next day approached and Hitomi did wake up as Millerna had said she would and joined every one in the activities Millerna and Dryden had planed for them.
