Oh Hitomi ~ part 5

A/N: Ok...Merle needs to remember how to cancel the marriage, before a stinkn' -BEEP- of a princess who is to marry Van marries him. What does the prophecy that she holds on her shoulders possibly mean?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the main hall…
"Princess Gabriella, here to see king Van of the proposal agreement! Does the majesty except?" Could be heard in the hall.

"He does!" Van yelled back. He ran into the main hall with Hitomi beside him. 'I don't want this to happen! I don't want this to happen!' Hitomi whined in her head. Van was thinking the exact same thing; he though was doing a better job of hiding it. Van quickly let go of Hitomi's hand. He apologized and said she had to wait here. She quickly said that it was alright and that she would rather be here then over there anyway. Van quietly agreed as he head up to his throne.

"You may lead her in!" He said. It oddly echoed around the hall. Two guards opened up the doors and immediately a princess walked in. She seemed like she was trying to keep from screaming.

"Your highness!" She squealed. It looked as though everything she was worried about vanished when she looked at Van. Hitomi felt her temperature rise. 'Why is that bitch squealing?!' she wondered. Merle came out of her room to see what all of the commotion was about. "Oh my God!" she whispered, 'Van is supposed to marry…THAT?!' She thought the last part.

"Van…I am very pleased about coming here!" Said Gabriella. She had wavy brown hair that went to her knees. She was wearing a light blue dress that went to her ankles. Merle went to stand by Hitomi just in time to hear Hitomi whisper, "You would be!" Merle shook her head in agreement.

"How true!" Merle said.

"Huh?! Oh Merle! I…didn't see you there!"

"It's all right…did I miss anything?"

"Only when the brat came into the castle!" Hitomi saw Gabriella start to look at Van in a different way. She liked what he looked like apparently. Both girls snickered. Van motioned for one of the guards to take her to her room.

"God…" Hitomi said.

"What? I mean if you're talking about what she's like, I can al-"

"No not that!"

"Then what?!"

"She seems to think Van has 'already' had a 'good time' with her!" Merle turned her head to see exactly what Hitomi meant. Her mouth dropped. Gabriella was already looking around the castle like she wanted it changed as soon as possible. Then something else caught Merle's eye. Gabriella was holding papers that the two haven't noticed before. Merle said that she would get a closer look to Hitomi and started to follow along with the guard and princess. Bitch, in her opinion. Gabriella opened the hand with all of the papers and they went flying with the wind. She and the guard started going around catching them while Merle grabbed three pages. She put them behind her back and scrambled back into Main hall where Hitomi was still waiting.

~~~~~ Main Hall ~~~~~

"Merle! What did you see?" Hitomi whispered. She didn't want anybody to think they did something rude to the princess. She'd rather have them being suspicious. Easier to deal with if you already know an excuse for why you were whispering.

"Hitomi! I thought you knew me better!" Merle said jokingly. Then she whispered back, "It's not what I saw that counts, it's what I got!" Hitomi grinned.

"Let's go into…we can't go into my room can we?" Said Hitomi.

"Why not?"

"Because, it's so close to Van's that well…" Merle shook her head understanding. Ever since Falcon destroyed the last kingdom, everybody was a little jumpy. Really, how could you not be? If they went to Hitomi's room, the guards could very easily think that they were master disguise artists spying on them.

"The horse stalls should be empty, come on!" Merle turned on her heel and went down a different hall with Hitomi behind her gaining speed. When they got to the stalls, Merle took out the three sheets of parchment that she grabbed. She handed them to Hitomi. She gasped.
