(Love Is A Shooting Star)

Later in the day,Van and Hitomi are happily chasing after each other,a small gold ring
with a diamond rests on Hitomi's finger;her engagement ring from Van.
"Bet you can't catch me!"She taunts playfully,and runs off.
"Oh yeah,Miss Kanzaki?"Van says and runs after her,laughing the whole time.
Her ring glitters as she runs,laughing as well,playfully keeping away from Van.
Van smirks playfully and makes his wings come out,and he glides up to her,and picks her
up into his arms,making her cry out slightly.
Hitomi wraps her arms around his neck,"Hey,you cheater!"She giggles as he flys higher up off
the ground.He holds her tightly,not letting her fall,as he goes higher,the kingdom of
Fanelia passes below them.
They soar over the kingdom,enjoying the view of the land below,that they will rule together
soon.Hitomi gasps as they pass a small waterfall and lake.
Van smiles and turns around,and flys through the waterfall.
"Ahhh!!"Hitomi gasps at the slightly cold water,"Van,what are you doing?"
"Just thought you'd like to see the waterfall closer."He smiles at her.
"Oh you,we'll cath a cold this way!"Hitomi smiles at him,looking at him through drenched bangs.
Van spins a few times,making their clothes dry,and making Hitomi dizzy.
Her eyes a swirl for a second,"Whoa ... "
Van then lands in a nearby field,where they can enjoy the sun and dry off more.
Hitomi giggles and looks at him,as he sets her on her feet,"That was fun!"
"Glad you enjoyed it,darling."He runs a hand through her slightly damp hair.
Her eyes shine at his words,"Van ... you say such beautiful words."
"Only to you,my love."He looks into her eyes and taps her nose lovingly,smiling.
Hitomi smiles and hugs him,resting her head against his chest,loving the sound of his strong
heartbeat.Van's arms go around her as well,pulling her close to his body.
"Van ... what made you propose to me?"She asks out of wonder.
"Many reasons,Hitomi,the number one being,that I feel you are my destiny."
She looks up at his gentle eyes,seeing herself in them."Hontou?"
"Hontou,Hitomi."He smiles at her,and runs his hand over her cheek softly,bringing her face up
to meet his in a gentle kiss.
Hitomi closes her eyes and leans into it,her lips meet his softly.
They stay this way a moment,before pulling back to catch their breaths.
Hitomi smiles and runs her hand through his now dry hair,"Aishiteru,Van."
"Aishiteru,Hitomi,always."Van smiles and nearly gets lost in her eyes.
"Hitomi,will you miss your family at your home on the Mystic Moon?"He asks her.
She averts her gaze,her eyes waver slightly,"Hai,I will,but this is my home now,I can always
visit them,my destiny is you."She looks back up at him.
"Hontou?Oh,Hitomi."Van says with a tear-filled voice,tears of his love for her shine in his
deep brown eyes.
Hitomi gently wipes the tears that escape his eyes away.
"When should we get married,Van?"
"As soon as we can,I hope.How about late summer?"Van asks her.
"Sounds great!We can invite Merle,she can be my bridesmaid!"Hitomi says in excitement.
Van laughs softly,"I can't really picture her in a dress."
"Me either,but Merle is Merle,I guess."She smiles dreamily.
Van smiles and can already picture Hitomi in a wedding dress,walking up to him,smiling like
an angel.
The hentai part of his mind wavers to the night of the wedding,a sly,yet loving smile on his face.
"What are you thinking about,hentai boy?"Hitomi asks with narrow eyes.
"Oh ... n,nothing,Hitomi!"He stutters,holding his hands infront of him.
"Yeah,sure ..."She looks at him sternly,then bursts out laughing.
Van sweatdrops slightly,"What's so funny?"
"You thought I was being serious,did'nt you?"
"Well,yeah,kinda."He says to her.
"We'll come to that when it's time,you hentai."Hitomi giggles and kisses him briefly.
Van smiles at her,"You silly,silly girl."
She nods playfully,"Yep!"
Hitomi then runs off again,while he's distracted.
"Oi,look who's cheating now!"Van calls after her playfully.
She just giggles and keeps running,hoping he does'nt cheat and use his wings again.
Van runs after her,hot on her heels now,"I'll get you,Hitomi!"He laughs.
Hitomi giggles as she runs faster,being good in track and all.
But,Van is a little faster,since he trains more than she ever would,he speeds up and grabs
her by the waist gently,"Gotcha!"
She cries out in surprise,and she turns in his arms,just as they fall to the ground,Van looking
up at her from where he lays.
"Daijobu?"Hitomi asks him.
Daijobu,"Van let's her know he's fine.
Hitomi runs her hand through his hair,loving the way it feels in her hand.
Van looks up at his princess,loving the way the setting sun's rays cast a glow upon her.
"You are so angelic,Hitomi."He whispers,taking the hnd that has her engagement ring,and kisses
it softly.
"You are my Tenshi,Van Fanel."Hitomi smiles at him lovingly.
"And you are my Tenshi as well,Hitomi Kanzaki."
They close the small gap between them,and kiss softly,a small star shoots across the
early evening sky.
