"Van.is.is that you?" Hitomi said, Van embraced her, Hitomi stiffened a bit
shocked he hugged her. "I knew it was you Hitomi, you've changed so much"
he said letting her go with a light shade of pink on his cheeks,
fortunately it was dark out so she couldn't see that he was blushing
"You've changed a lot too" Hitomi said quietly. "I should get you back to
the castle, you look like you need rest.and a lot of food" he said smiling
"Do you mind?" Van said "Mind wh**" Hitomi didn't even get a chance to
finish, Van picked her up and sat on the horse with no difficulty "That."
Van said "No.not at all" Hitomi said blushing "We should hurry, my generals
are probably worrying about where I am" Van said and Hitomi nodded.
While they were riding Hitomi reluctantly leaned her head on Van's chest. Van smiled when she finally did.
They reached the castle and entered from the back, Van didn't want to make any noise while he went threw the town so he decided not to. Van had noticed Hitomi fell asleep in his arms and he smiled. He entered the castle with Hitomi in his arms, he decided he would put her in the room next to his, that way it would be easier to help he if she needed it and plus he just wanted to be as close to Hitomi as he could. He laid her down on the bed and tucked the covers around her, he stayed a minute just to stare at her face, she was very beautiful to him at least, and he didn't care what everyone else thought. 'I can't wait to stuff her up' he thought with a big smile, Van noticed ever since Hitomi came back that he's been smiling a lot. Van left to let her rest while he retired to his room to get some sleep.
As Van walked down the halls to breakfast he had the biggest smile on his face, he said good morning to every person he walked by, the maids were very surprised at his sudden mood change and smiled back
When he sat down for breakfast everyone in the room had indeed noticed his mood change. "Lord Van where were you last night? I was looking all over for you" General Dunwal said "I was out" Van said smiling "I believe he found a woman last night and that she is indeed in the castle, it is obvious why he is smiling" one of the generals said to Dunwal "I don't believe you" General Dunwal said to the other general "It is true, I saw the king with the woman, she is also very beautiful, but by the looks of her clothing I believe she is a prostitute" the general said. Van stood up hitting his fist against the table making everything move and everyone shut up, Van was very angry that his own generals and advisors thought he went out to bring back a prostitute and pay her to have a "good time" as they put it. "Yes I did find a woman but I did not hurt her or do anything of that sort, I am treating her with the respect she deserves and all of you should do the same!" he shouted then left to go check on Hitomi.
When he got to her room he knocked on the door to see if she awake "Come in" Van heard her say, Van walked in noticing Hitomi observing the room "Did you rest well?" Van asked "Oh.Van.No! Don't look at me!" she yelled running to her bed and hiding under the sheets. Van was totally confused what was wrong with her? "What is it Hitomi? Or you sick or something?" Van asked concerned "No, I'm not sick.I'm, just ugly and skinny, I don't want you to look at me" Hitomi said "What the hell? Your not ugly, your very beautiful and well.I just gotta fatten you up that's all" Van said smiling "What do you care, go to your wife or go do work or something" Hitomi said "My wife?" Van said laughing "I don't have a wife and I don't wanna do work.screw work" he said laughing still, Hitomi started laughing too. "Now c'mon get out from under those covers and I'll show you around the castle" Van said walking over to Hitomi's bed "No" Hitomi said "Too bad" Van said grabbing the bed sheets away from her, she screamed and Van laughed, Hitomi put her face in her hands to hide her face from Van "C'mon Hitomi I think your pretty" Van said blushing a bit. Hitomi removed her hands from her face "Really?" she said "Yes, of course I do" Van said still blushing, Hitomi smiled "Awww thank you" she said hugging Van "C'mon let's go fatten you up" Van said smiling.
*** It's been a week since Hitomi's been on Gaea she's been recovering but she still needed to eat more.
While Van was in his study with Hitomi staring in awe with all the books he had, a messenger boy came running in "Lord Van" the boy said trying to catch his breath "Can I help you?" Van said looking at him "This was sent to you from Katscar" the boy said handing Van the note and leaving.
Dear Lord Van Slanzar de Fanel
Our city known as Katscar has been almost destroyed by an unknown enemy. Your friend Merle asked if you would come and bring her back to Fanelia, also it would be very helpful if you supply us with food and shelter as well as clothing. Thank you for your time Sincerely, Kantar; the city elder
Van put down the note, he wanted to bring Merle back to Fanelia personally but he didn't want to leave Hitomi.
"Hitomi?"
"Yes Van?" Hitomi said starting to read a book.
"Is it ok if I leave for a couple of weeks and bring Merle here, back to Fanelia?" Van asked scared a bit of her response
"Of course it's ok! I wanted to see Merle anywayz and besides, I'm a big girl I can take care of myself" Hitomi said smiling Van smiled too "Ok then I will leave in the morning" Van said walking out of the room "Where are you going?" Hitomi asked, Van's head popped threw the door "I'm going to go pack and tell my generals that I will be leaving" he said "Oh ok.is it ok if I can read some of your book?" Hitomi asked "Of course it's ok, and feel free to walk around the castle, you can go anywhere you like you know" Van said smiling then left.
It was morning and Van wanted to say goodbye to Hitomi but she was still sleeping and he didn't want to wake her up from her beauty sleep. Van smiled.again.
Hitomi woke up seeing Van on his horse leaving the castle, she frowned, she wanted him to say goodbye to her, but she quickly wiped it off her face since she remembered Van said she could go anywhere in the castle. She got up, got washed and dressed. As soon as she was about to leave there was a knock at the door "Come in" Hitomi said while she was brushing her now long hair that went to her shoulders. A maid entered with delicious food "The king ordered me to bring food for you and that if you needed anything just ask" the woman said "Oh.thank you very much" Hitomi said smiling, the woman curtsied and left closing the door. Hitomi stuffed herself with all the delicious food she got.
*** It's been 2 weeks and Van finally made it to Katscar, his jaw dropped when he saw how the town was. The buildings and houses were burnt to the ground and the cat-people were living on the streets, there were some dead bodies still lying on the streets and in between the houses.
"Lord Van!" he heard someone yell out, he turned around seeing Merle run up to him crying, Merle hugged him "What happened?" Van asked "It was horrible Lord Van there were these black guymelefs and fire came out of them and they burned everything, killing mostly everyone, men, women and children" Merle trying to hold back a sob but didn't succeed "What did they want?" Van asked, Merle held the pendant in her hand/paw and looked at it "Is Hitomi back?" Merle asked, Van nodded "I don't understand Merle, what did they want?" Van asked concerned, Merle lifted the pendant to Van's face "There was a man in a golden guymelef and he was asking for the pendant saying he needed it for some prophecy" Merle said starting to cry again "C'mon let's go back home" Van said.
*** Van arrived back at the castle 2 weeks later with Merle. It was the middle of the day and Merle wasn't tired she was very excited to see Hitomi,
Merle ran into the castle yelling Hitomi's name, Van ran in after her "Merle! Shut up she could be sleeping" Van said running after her "So?" Merle said looking into every room.
Hitomi heard someone calling her name, she put down the book she was reading and walked out of Van's study looking down the hall to see a cat- woman running towards her calling her name and waving her hands in the air and Van yelling at her to shut up while he chased her.
Then it clicked "Merle!" Hitomi screamed and hugged her friend that was once her foe 3 years ago. "Oh Merle I missed you!" Hitomi said still hugging Merle "Oh! I missed you too Hitomi!" Merle said and looked at Hitomi to see how much she changed "Wow! Your really pretty Hitomi, you don't even need makeup unlike me" Merle said smiling, Hitomi blushed "Thank you, your really pretty too" Hitomi said hugging Merle again.
Van was practically drooling he was staring at Hitomi this whole time, she was absolutely exquisite to him, she was wearing her black tank top which Van noticed right away was too small for her upper area and her jeans were tight, nice and tight Van liked that a lot, but her eyes they were just sparkling with happiness. Merle grinned, she noticed Van staring at Hitomi "So Lord Van, Hitomi looks really sexy today huh?" Hitomi blushed putting her hands to her cheeks, Van's face was completely red "Uh.ye- excuse me" Van said running down the hall to his room. Merle almost fell to the floor laughing, she was laughing so hard she started to cry, "You should have seen your guys' faces." Merle stopped talking since she started laughing again "Merle! I can't believe you said that!" Hitomi screeched, "Well, it's pretty obvious he likes you, did you see the way he looked at you it was like he has never even seen food before!" Merle said and started to laugh again. Hitomi just started blushing again "I'm going to go check on Van" Hitomi said leaving Merle there "Watch out! He might jump on you and rape you knowing his hormones." Merle said bursting out in laughter again "Urgh!" Hitomi just screamed and ran away from Merle looking for Van.
Van was in his room sprawled out on his bed "Shit! I can't believe Merle said that, ugh! Now I can't show my face around her.Hitomi's gonna think I'm some pervert or something" Van said closing his eyes and sounding hopeless. Then there was a knock at the door, Van got off his bed with his eyes still closed and opened the door "What do you want?" Van said, Hitomi gave him a weird look "Well? What do you want?" Van asked getting pissed "Uh.I just wanted to see how you were doing." Hitomi said a little scared, Van's eyes snapped open "Hitomi! Shit.I.I didn't know it was you, I am so sorry, wanna come in? No.ok.you see I thought you were one of my generals" "It's ok" Hitomi said smiling.
They started to walk down the hall "So, where's Merle?" Van asked Oh.I left her in the hall since she kept on embarrassing me and laughing like a lunatic" Hitomi said "Good" Van said and laughed.
They walked around the castle talking and joking, they past by a male servant who looked at Hitomi up and down and noticed every detail on her body, he was looking at her like a piece of meat. Van noticed this and so did Hitomi who was blushing "And what do you think your looking at? Get back to work" Van said a little angry, the male servant went quickly back to work.
"Ooooooh it's the great protector of love" Merle said as she walked up to Van and Hitomi. Hitomi blushed "Merle would you quit that" Van said "Quit what?" Merle said innocently "Urgh nevermind." Van said annoyed "Hmmmm.Hitomi do you have any other clothes other then those?" Merle asked "No" Hitomi said "Good it really looks like you could use some new clothes, I mean look at your shirt it's too small for your upper area, right Van?" Merle said grinning, Van started to blush and so did Hitomi. "Ugh! Let's go" Hitomi said grabbing Merle's hand/paw and leaving Van standing there.
Hitomi and Merle made it to the handmaidens, they were measuring Hitomi from top to bottom "You know lady Hitomi we are very happy that you are here" one of the handmaidens said "Oh.why." Hitomi said a bit confused. "Well, you see Hitomi" Merle cut in "When you were gone on the Mystic Moon, all this time Lord Van was very sad and he was always in his room just thinking about you.we haven't even seen him smile in years but now that you are here we noticed he smiles all the time.he loves you a lot you know" Merle said seriously, Hitomi just stared at Merle 'He loves me?' Hitomi thought "C'mon Hitomi just tell him you love him because I know you do, you two feel the same thing for each other" Merle said, "I.I.I don't know, should I? Or should I wait? Are you sure he feels the same way? I'm not sure.doesn't he have to marry a princess?" "Hitomi!" Merle yelled for Hitomi to shut up, then an evil grin crept up on Merle's lips "Why are you looking at me like that?" Hitomi said a bit scared "I have the perfect plan!" Merle said "What?" Hitomi said confused "Come with me" Merle said grabbing Hitomi's hand and leaving the room. While they were talking the handmaidens had started to make Hitomi's dresses.
"I'm not doing that Merle" Hitomi said crossing her arms over her chest "Why not? Lord Van will totally go crazy, then he will grab you drag you to his room tell you he loves you then you two will make love, get married, have kids and live happily ever after" Merle said smiling "I'm still mad at you for telling the handmaidens to make the neckline low and to make my dresses tight, I don't want to get Van's attention" Hitomi said "Yes you do, you do want Van to look at you" Merle said winking "Shut up Merle" Hitomi said looking away from Merle "Well, can you at least wear one of the dresses?" Merle asked, Hitomi stood there and thought for a while "Fine. Only one though" Hitomi said looking at Merle "Yes! Alrighty then.hmmm I'm hungry I think it's dinner cause I smell something really good" Merle said, Hitomi laughed.
While they were riding Hitomi reluctantly leaned her head on Van's chest. Van smiled when she finally did.
They reached the castle and entered from the back, Van didn't want to make any noise while he went threw the town so he decided not to. Van had noticed Hitomi fell asleep in his arms and he smiled.
