Chapter Fourteen
"Hitomi!" Van yelled getting out of his Gundam Allen and Amano ran over as well making there way to Hitomi's Gundam Van got the cockpit open Hitomi was on the floor. He picked her up and got her out.
"Hitomi are you hurt?" Van asked her he saw her smiling face.
"I'm fine Van…" She said as Van jumped down off on to the ground Hitomi still in his arms.
"Well if you're fine Hitomi you won't mind walking back." Amano said to her calling her bluff.
"Fine…" Hitomi said as Van put her down when he did her leg gave out and Van caught her before she hit the ground.
"Let me look at your leg." Amano said walking over to them he ran his hand over it then saw how much pain Hitomi was in he felt the break.
"It's just as I thought… Hitomi it's broken you need to stay off it or it may never heal." Amano explained. "We need to get you back so that I can properly set it." Amano said to her as Van picked her up everyone saw that Hitomi wasn't happy with this news.
"So how did you know that she was lying?" Allen asked Amano.
"I have learned with Hitomi when she says one thing it almost certainly means the opposite which if she's not careful it could cost her, her life one day." Amano explained to Allen.
Days later Hitomi was in her room not happy about being confined to her bed.
"I know you want to get up but Amano said at least four days in bed." Van said to her hiding his laughter. Hitomi sighed and was almost pouting that Van was keeping her in the bed.
"You know Hitomi your lucky that your even alive if Dilandau hadn't stepped in when he did we would all be dead every one is right Hitomi, you're pushing yourself to hard you need rest as much as the next person." Van said to her as Hitomi looked out the window thinking about what was being spoken to her.
"Van I know…. And I am tiered but…" She said dropping her head.
"Hitomi I understand more than you know." Van said sitting on the bed and lifting her chin and looking her in the eye he then slowly pulled her close and into a deep kiss. Hitomi melted into him and wanted him to stay with her but their children acquired his attention she knew that he hadn't spent that much time with them so she sent him off with a smile.
Sitting there alone in her room Hitomi began to think about the dream that she had been having she was the one who was to face Maj and she knew that a battle a final battle was coming but she looked at her current condition and was angered it would take months for her leg to heal so how was it that she was going to face him one on one.
"Maybe the dream is wrong it has to be…" Hitomi said to herself.
"Wrong about what Hitomi?" Allen said coming in to her room and seeing the look on her face he remembered this look from when she was a kid the first time she came to Gaea and she knew that trouble was coming.
"It's nothing Allen." Hitomi said to him trying to hide her fear and worry.
"I know you better than that you know Hitomi…" He spoke with a smile on his face then sitting on the bed.
"I'm just worried that if a battle should happen…" She said turning from him.
"Don't worry about it Hitomi we all will handle it… all you need to do is concentrate on getting better." He said to her placing a hand on her leg.
"That is easier said than done…" Hitomi said smiling at him for trying to cheer her up. "Thanks Allen…" Hitomi said putting her hand on his.
A week went by and Hitomi when no one was around would get up out of bed and work on her leg trying to speed up the process of it healing.
One night as she was getting ready for bed Van came in her room.
"Hitomi what are you doing?" He said as he walked in catching her out of bed. Hitomi was over by her window looking at the sky. And just as Van got to her a blast shattered the window knocking them to the floor. Hitomi looked around coughing.
"Van!" she yelled looking around but she couldn't see him any where then out of the smoke he walked over to her and picked her up.
"Hitomi are you alright?" Van asked then seeing her nod to him. They were about to leave the room when Van was knocked to the floor he felt the back of his head he was in a lot of pain when he looked up he saw Maj he had Hitomi by the throat against a wall. Van reached for his sword.
"Put her down!" Van demanded on him.
"Or what? The way I see it I'm holding all the cards." Maj spoke looking at Hitomi.
"Isn't that right Princess…." Maj said to her with a smile on his face.
Van watched Hitomi carefully then he saw he hand it had something in it.
"As always Maj you are so totally wrong!" Hitomi said bringing her hand up placing a dagger into his side causing him to drop her. Maj yelled in pain then pulled that dagger out now he would have to deal with Van who was now in front of Hitomi.
"This shall prove to be interesting seeing that you don't stand a chance against me Van…" Maj said to him now drawing his sword.
Allen and Dilandau were trying there hardest to get to Hitomi's room but the entire wing of the complex was under attack. The swords clashed with their enemy.
"This is pointless…" Dilandau said then lifted his hand. "I think I'll clear the way." He said blasting the men down so that he and Allen could get to Hitomi's room.
Out of a side hall Esther showed up in their path.
"Esther what are you doing here you should get to safety with the others." Dilandau questioned her.
"There is no time for that Maj is here and he's after my light I need to reclaim it from Hitomi before he…" She spoke when Allen interrupted her.
"Say no more… This way..!" Allen said kicking away some debris.
In Hitomi's room the battle was getting out of Van's hands Maj had now thrown him against a wall to where he was knocked out and Maj was about to strike him when Hitomi blocked the blow with her sword, Van had come too and saw the seen before him.
"Get away from him it's me you want!" Hitomi said standing on her leg. Van was shocked she had to be in pain.
"Hitomi no…" Van said trying to stand up. Hitomi looked back to see that he was hurt bad enough that he wasn't able to get up.
"Let's see how you are against me Princess seeing that you're injured." Maj mocked her he then lunged at her full force. Hitomi to even things out held her sword tightly and concentrated brining a light to the sword she held then she fought back with everything that she had.
"You're using the power of the light." Maj said to her.
"No this is my own power…" She said pushing him back then it was him against the wall Hitomi then turned her back and went to help Van just as she made her way to him Maj blasted her against the wall.
"Hitomi!" Van yelled trying to get to her but Maj got to her first.
"Now Hitomi I'll be taking that light." Maj said leaning himself down to kiss her lips, when out of no where a blue blast of energy knocked him away from her.
"Get away from my sister Maj!" Dilandau yelled at him standing in front of her as Allen and Esther made there way to her.
"Hold on Hitomi." Esther said as she took her hand the light then reentered Esther's body. Van finally got over to them.
"Is she alright?" Van asked Dilandau listening for the response.
"I think she will be fine." Esther said look up and over at where Dilandau.
Maj got up to see who it was that attacked him.
"Ah Dilandau… it's been awhile…" he said with a smirk wiping the blood from him mouth.
