Chapter 13: Goodbyes
It had been a week since Lady Zyron's revelations. Hitomi was still unsure but she decided she had nothing to lose, plus Jasper thought that it was extremely cool. Hitomi was sitting in her new quarters (AN; a future queen can't live with the servants. It's not proper) just reflecting on how fast things can change when there was a knock on the door and in came Van.
"Oh Lord Van what can I do for you?" asked Hitomi.
Van just stared at her. He felt so deeply for her but he knew it would never be. He had a responsibility to his people and she was leaving him to go and rule a far away country. He looked deep into her sparkling eyes and without a single rational thought in his head; he walked straight up to her, took her in his arms and kissed her. He felt her stiffen but then gradually melt into the kiss. It was like he was coming home. He had never felt such emotions in his life and it pained him to know that this would probably be the first and last time.
Hitomi looked up at him and just knew what he was feeling. She was feeling it too. With unspoken, mutual consent, Hitomi led Van to the bed where she proceeded to gently peel away his clothes. Their eyes never left each other. When Van was completely naked, he took Hitomi in his arms and gently laid her on the bed.
*********************************************
They lay in silence side by side just feeling each other. That was an experience neither would forget easily. Van finally spoke.
"So how was it for you?"
Hitomi looked up at him. She stared straight into his eyes and then burst out laughing.
"Hey what? What's so funny?" Van put a look on his face.
"I've just had the most mind blowing experience of my life and you ask how it was for me? You're supposed to say something romantic like 'your eyes are as big as the sun'." replied Hitomi.
"I don't actually think that's romantic. If someone said that to me, I'd be offended." said Van.
"You know what I mean." Hitomi pulled a face at him.
"Seriously Hitomi, I want you to know how special this was for me. I know you're leaving but we still have tonight so let's make the most of it."
They remained lying there side by side and fell into a deep sleep.
**********************************************
Hitomi and Jasper were ready to leave and were standing outside a very lavish carriage, with the crest of Nasaina on it, waiting to say their goodbyes.
First came Allen, "Hey Jasper. I'm gone miss you. I guess now you can really become a general hey."
"Thank you Allen. I'll miss you too but I would have become a General anyway." replied Jasper.
Allen swiftly moved onto Hitomi. He saw the look on her face and could tell she was angry at him so he just muttered a faint goodbye and sped off.
Chris hugged both Jasper and Hitomi and wished them great luck for the future.
Merle enveloped Jasper in a big hug and when she came to Hitomi she was almost in tears.
"Hey Tomi. I'm gonna miss you so much. I don't why you had to go and become a princess on me but I guess I'll have to live with it just as long as you promise to come back for my wedding. After all I can't get married without a maid of honour."
"Oh Merle, Id be delighted. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Goodbye."
Lady Zyron, Jasper and lastly Hitomi got into the carriage. She had looked around for Van but he never came. She didn't get to say goodbye.
********************************************
Van stood at the window, watching the carriage slowly drive away. A solitary tear ran down his cheek.
So what do you think? I'm getting mixed feelings about Lady Z so I'm gonna clear things up a bit. She is definitely good just doing her job. R&R.
