Hidden Wings
Deadly Reunion
Van helped Hitomi back all the way to the campsite. Hitomi was really tired and when they got to the camp she realized she had a slight problem. Her clothes were totally wet, and she was too tired to go get her bag and search for some clean dry clothes, then find a place to change and change while freezing her ass off. She looked at Van. Van seemed to understand her crisis so he eased her down on a log that was near by and grabbed Hitomi's bag. Hitomi was starting to shiver at this point she looked at Van who was bringing her, her bag. When Van was close enough Hitomi reached for her bag with shaking hands. Van suddenly felt sorry that he pushed Hitomi in the lake, maybe if he hadn't she wouldn't be suffering. Van clothes were wet too but he didn't seem to mind. 'Damn draconian, how is it that I'm freezing to death and he just looks like he merely got cooled on a hot summer day.' Hitomi thought. Hitomi searched her bag for her necessary clothes and when she found them she frantically looked around for a secluded area to change. Van noticed her actions. "Er… Hitomi… what are you doing?" Hitomi looked up at him and barely whispered.
"I'm trying to spot a place to change." Van started to look around also, but he couldn't find any.
"Well…um… I guess you have to change here." Van said while turning red in the face. Hitomi eyes went wide after he said that, but it wasn't like she had much choice. It was either that she, change here or she can just get sick. Hitomi nodded but then she said
"Fine. I'll change here but you better turn around and if I see you even taking a glance at me while I'm changing, I'll make sure you regret it."
"Hey, you don't have to worry about that okay, what kind of man do you think I am?"
"I dunno." She replied as she shrugged her shoulders. Before Van could say anything to that she said. "Turn around now, I'm going to change." Van immediately obeyed. Hitomi slowly stood up and peeled off her wet clothes. When she was finished changing she said. " Okay I'm done." Van let out a breath of relief and turn around, he noticed Hitomi was still shivering.
"You better get into your sleeping bag, or else you might catch your death." Van replied. Hitomi would have said something but she was just too cold. So she only nodded. She slowly walked over to the sleeping area. Van followed. Hitomi looked at him.
"Aren't you going to change?" Van looked at her.
"What is it to you?"
"You might get sick, and you won't be able to lead the group."
"Well, maybe you or Elise will take over."
"Yeah but you might die."
"Since when were you so worried about my health condition?"
"It's nothing personal, but if you die then Fanelia would have no king."
"Folken could take over."
"But he and Merle would be mourning your death for months."
"It'll pass."
"Oh my god. What the hell is wrong with you, you haven't even lived your life to the fullest and you're already thinking about death."
"You always do." Hitomi stopped walking and looked at Van.
"Just because I think about death doesn't mean I want to actually go through with it."
(Morning)
Van had already had fresh, clean dry clothes on and was once more leading the group. Very once in awhile Elise would catch Hitomi nodding off. "Didn't you get enough sleep last night?" Hitomi looked at Elise and gave her a weak chuckle.
"Not really."
"Why not?"
"It's nothing important."
"Hitomi, did you have a vision?"
"No, Elise it's nothing like that, I was just having trouble sleeping."
"Okay but that better be it."
*~*~*~*~*~*
(To Mamoru and company)
Mamoru was the first up. He quickly got dressed and rushed out of the crusade quicker than you can say manIneedtocombmyhairandIneedtobrushmyteethandjustlookatmyface! (A/n: If you space it out you'll find out what I say in the morning when I look in the mirror.) The crisp air and the bright sun, that was just rising, greeted Mamoru. He looked at the forest. It was so lush and was almost the same green as his sister's eyes. Without thinking he raced past the forest into what use to be the country of Aklon. He could only see piece of what use to be buildings and moss and other plants growing over all of the wreckage. It almost seemed like it was a forbidden valley. Mamoru walked through it all until he reached probably the biggest piece of the debris there was. He unsheathed his sword and cut all the plants on a particular area. What he saw there was something that brought unshed tears to his eyes. The crest of Aklon.

(The Dark Fortress)
"Lord Alko?" Kiya weakly asked as she knocked on his door. She heard footsteps and her heart started to beat faster than ever.
"What is it now Kiya?!" He bellowed as he swung the door open.
"Um… Sir… It's about the prince and princess." Kiya just couldn't get over her fear.
"What about them, I hope you've brought me good news." His eyes were starting to give her a dangerous look.
"Yes Sir, the prince is now at whats left at Aklon and the princess is on her way there." This news had obviously pleased Alko very much.
"Good, now why don't you send our friend Kunta over there to greet them." Kiya immediately bowed and rushed off. The woman's violet eyes obviously showed fear of being near her lord but there was not much she could do, if she left her lord would have her killed.
*~*~*~*~*~*
(Back to Van and the others)
It was already midday by now when Hitomi realized something. She recognized this place. She looked at Elise to see if she recognized it too but Elise was busy doing something else. So against what her mind was shouting at her she took off in a different direction as fast as she could. Everyone noticed her actions the moment she did it. Van looked at Elise. "Why the hell did she do that?" Elise noticed where there were and she smiled.
"She didn't it because the quick way to Aklon is the path she took off in." Van looked at her. "Hitomi would always be playing far off from home and when it would get dark this path would always have fireflies buzzing around and it's the path she would always take. We later found out that this path led to Aklon much faster than the usual path." Elise added without thinking. Van understood and they all chased after Hitomi.
*~*~*~*~*~*
(Let's see what Hitomi's doing.)
Hitomi raced down the path. Aklon was just ahead and she wasn't going to stop at nothing to get there. Then she heard a sound she quickly slowed down. (A/n: so much for stopping at nothing.) Someone was playing the harp. She jumped off her horse and slowly approached the sound; she still had to be cautious. She reached a place where the trees were practically covered with moss and she saw someone there. He had his back turned to her but she was able to describe his features. He was very tall, and he had short light hair and somewhat long bangs. She really couldn't tell what color his hair was but it almost seemed like a snowy white color. He was wearing brown pants and a black jacket that the collar was pulled up high covering his some of his hair. She stealthily approached the person, the music was coming from him. But then he stopped playing. "Who's there." His back was still turned. "I said who's there." He repeated. Hitomi stood straight then drew her sword, which cause a whisper of danger to echo through the peaceful forest.
"Who do you think." Hitomi said in a deadly voice. The man turned around revealing the harp in his hand. It was a harp that was in a u shape and it was only 1ft tall and 1ft wide. Hitomi's eyes went to the man's face to be greeted by a shocked expression. She looked at his eyes to see they were lime green, like Mamoru's. No not like Mamoru, exactly Mamoru's. Hitomi lowered her sword.
"Hitomi?"
"Mamoru?" But that's all Hitomi got out because the next thing she knew a dart hit the vein in her neck.
"No! Hitomi!" Mamoru saw a movement in the tops of the trees. He quickly got his dagger and using all the muscles in his right arm and hand he threw it directly at the person. Then next thing he knew a body falls from the sky and on to the ground with Mamoru's dagger piercing his neck. Mamoru ignored the body and raced to his sister's side. "Hitomi, it's okay everything will be all right." He assured her as he gently pulled the dart out of her neck. Hitomi gave him a weak smile.
"I'm glad (cough) you're not…mad at me anymore …Mamoru." Then all went black.
Author's Note:
What was in that dart? Wouldn't you all want to know? Well ya gotta be patient and wait for the next chapter. Sorry if there's any mistakes. Gotta blaze, bye.
