Oh Hitomi ~ 9
By *~A White Rose Petal~*
Disclaimer: I don't own anything and never did except the plot, Gabriella and her parents, and Phillip?!?!
A/N: Thank You SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOO MUCH for the reviews! Oh Hitomi ~ 10 MIGHT come out before Christmas but ::shrug:: I can't be to sure… To the REAL A/N: What's Van doing in Hitomi's room? Gabriella wonders… Will the queen of Graos be found? Where? (SORRY! I forgot to put this in OH Hitomi ~ 8!!) The advisors wonder where the green shirt is…hhhhhhmmmmmmm…hehe! To the story!
I thought that the song below kind of went with VOE… From Van's POV and what he thinks of Hitomi!
______________________________________________________________
You are my fire,
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that away
But our two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
I want it that way
Chorus:
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothing but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way
Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's late
But I want it that way
Chorus
Now I can see we've fallen apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know
That deep down inside of me'
You are my fire
The one desire
You are, you are, you are
Don't wanna hear you say…
Ain't nothing but a heartache
Ain't nothing but a mistake
I wanna hear you say
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that away
Chorus

"What do you want from me kitty girl? I don't have the time!" Gabriella complained. Merle was watching her contently. A small dangerous (for Gabriella anyway) grin was placed on Merle's lips.
"::fake shock:: What are you talking about Gabriella? What would I do with a tough princess like you?" 'I make myself sick!'
"Wh-what do you mean 'tough' Merrill?" A vein popped on Merle's forehead.
"Um…"
"Well?"
"I-I…" 'I hate it when I can't lie properly!'
"You saw me practicing my moves this morning didn't you?"
"Um…yeah…" 'HAHAHAHA That's good!'
"Pretty good weren't they?"
"Yea-"
"You know I'm probably the strongest princess to grace Gaea?"
"Right…"
"I'll show this planet how truly strong I am, physical and mentally!"
"Of course you will!" 'You've GOT to be kidding me!'
"You know Merle…"
"What?"
"Do you want to be my new hand maiden?" Merle's eyes bulged.
"Uh…"
"Wonderful! You can start…Now!"
"Hey! I don't want to be your hand maiden!"
"I need a new one!"
"Get another one!"
"I'm sure my Van-nee would be happy if you were my hand maiden!"
"Do I get paid?"
"Of course not!"
"Then what do I get for my assistance?"
"You get one of the largest honors anybody can get!"
"Oh really?"
"Yes!"
"What is it?"
"What is what?"
"The honor?"
"Oh that!"
"Well…"
"Is it really that hard to see?" Merle just put a pondering pose on to get her moving quicker.
"Believe it or not…no clue…"
"Oh! Merrill I'm surprised!" 'You would be!'
"Really?"
"Yes! ::sigh:: You get to be in my presence!"
"Sorry, but if that was the reason I became your hand maiden--It would have to save Gaea."

"Oh Dear!" Said a feminine voice. "I must be lost!" She took out a piece of paper but it didn't do that much good. It was to dark to read.
"Damn it!" She said out loud. She started fumbling around her pockets for something to light the narrow hallway she was in. She pulled out a match and made it light. She looked around the hall and found a torch she pulled it out of it's socket from the rock. She felt some water on her head and looked up. The walkway was actually part of the cave. Just drilled through. She then found where she wanted to be. She slowly opened the wooden door and stepped inside. She turned around and found it. A small bottle of blood. In this room, it was filled with royal's blood. She found a certain bottle slowly on the top shelf. A small box that was labeled Fanailia. She looked through the bottles carefully reading the names. She then came to the bottle that she needed. It was labeled Falcon.

"Where is my wife!" The king of Graos yelled.
"S-Sire c-calm d-down…" Said a young man. His hair was medium length and brown.
"Phillip…Maybe YOU don't understand! We're going to be late to the Fanel's if my wife is not found!"
"I know you are worried about your wife sir-"
"And her daughter can't know she's missing!"
"I know your highness!"
"If anybody overhears us…I don't want to think about it!"
"Why not your highness? Others could help us find her!"
"Because if we do, we will be shunned for losing a royal! It doesn't make any difference what station you're in!"
"Is that all sire?"
"No, one last reason is because, everything we say is more confidential than what ANYBODY ever said in this castle!"
"But why your highness?"
"If everything doesn't work all right, I assure you, that you will see, Phillip?"
"Yes?"
"You may go."
"Thank you your majesty!" The king just shrugged as Phillip went out the door.

"Van!" Hitomi said. She and Van were walking down the hall. He had his arms around her waist and both were laughing and on the look out for anybody who might not enjoy this as much as them. Hitomi changed into a small blue dress that stopped right above her knees.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Said a voice. Van and Hitomi froze. Not that either of them really minded…
"Damn, not her!" Van mumbled. Gabriella was right behind them. Van slowly let go of Hitomi's waist and was still close enough to hear her moan.
"Gabriella…what do you want?"
"Oh Van-nee ::giggle:: I wanted to know when supper is! I know I have a flat stomach and that it looks like I can't eat a darn thing…Maid?" Van and Hitomi just looked puzzled.
"M-maid?" Van stuttered.
"Well yeah! The maid, right by you?" Van and Hitomi looked at each other. Than back at each other. Hitomi just shrugged.
"Yes Gabriella?" She said.
"My room is like SO dirty! Could you clean it?" Hitomi narrowed her eyes but Gabriella didn't notice.
"Sorry Gabriella but-"
"She still has to finish my room!" Van cut in. Hitomi already lied enough to Gabriella for him and Merle both. He might as well do it for her.
"Ya-yeah!"
"Oh-all right…So when is supper?"
"Um…Probably in an hour or two…"Van said slowly. He was wondering himself.
"Oh…why can't it come faster than that?" Gabriella complained. She turned around and left Van and Hitomi alone again.

"I'm back!" Said the queen of Graos. She had a bit of dirt on her left cheek but took no notice of it.
"Darling! You're back!" Said the plump king. "Um, honey?"
"Yes?"
"You have some dirt on your cheek…"
"I do?"
"Well yes? Would I lie to you?"
"I guess not…just a moment…" She put her hand up to her cheek and felt for the dirt. When she found it she flicked the small fleck off.
"Wonderful Darling! Now to our child's wedding!"
"Yes-WHAT?!"
"The wedding! Isn't that why we're leaving?"
"NO! We're going there to see if we like Van as our son-in-law!" The king chuckled.
"I'm sure he loves our dear Gabriella, she probably worked on him some so he's perfect when we see him!"
'Work?' Thought the queen, 'That girl hasn't done a chore in all her life!'
The two slowly walked out of the castle to where the carraige awaited them to take them to Fanailia.

"There!" Said Hitomi. She put the last thing of Van's in it's place.
"You really didn't need to c-clean my r-room H-Hitomi!"
"It's all right! I wanted to keep my hands a little busy I suppose…" A strange silence crept around the room. Hitomi sat down on her bed and looked Van in the eye.
"Van?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you love me?"
"How can you ask that Hitomi? Of course I do! Um…why I-I mean um…damn it!"
"It's all right Van! I already know what you're asking!" Van blushed.
"Well?" He said.
"I suppose I-it was just a nightmare that I had last night…Today I was wondering if it was a nightmare or a vision…"
"Hitomi, what did you see?"
"Well," She began, "First, I saw Gabriella, she was in this one strange room…There was another woman in there. She seemed to-to do potions, magic, things like that you know? Anyway, Gabriella said that there were two girls interfering with her plans and there was a solution that would take care of both. I couldn't hear what the other woman said after that…But I do know that she said something because Gabriella shook her head yes and answered, 'Of course he'll love me even more with the potion on me! It'll just help him love me more."

Van and Hitomi walk into the hall together with linked hands. Because it was time for dinner they both had to get dressed up in proper clothes because of their 'guest'.
"Splendid!" Gabriella said. "I'm starving!"
"No kidding?" Hitomi mumbled. She didn't know why but saying that just felt right.
"V-Van?" One of his advisor's called from the hall. He and Hitomi let go of each other's hands.
"Yes?" He asked. He walked up to his advisor. But to his surprise, his advisor looked more confused than what he did!
"Um…Sire?"
"Yes?" Hitomi walked up by him.
"Where's the green shirt?" Van blushed and Hitomi just smiled.
