Van continued to stare at the half sleeping Hitomi and he looked up nervously and thought, "No..I will wait for the right moment.."
------
The next morning Hitomi found herself in her room. She sat up and looked around.
no one was there. She pushed the covers off and put slippers on. "I wonder where everyone is." she thought. Then came a knock at the door and
it slowly opened. A maid came in with a couple of others. "Lady Hitomi?" Hitomi looked at them puzzled a bit, "Yes?" the maids smiled, "The king would like you to get dressed
very nicely." the maid was carrying different dresses and the other maids has make up, lotion, jewls, accesories, etc. Hitomi cluelessly nodded. "Okay"
-----
Van was planning a Fanelia ball. He gave messengers invitations to be sent to every house in Fanelia.
Van sat down and wondered if he wad doing the right thing. He didnt want to do it for himself, he wanted Hitomi to be happy here. He didnt want her to leave. That is why Van was
planning on the ball. He fiddled around with a pen for awhile then Merle came in. "Van-sama!!" she yelled in his ear. He blinked and looked at her, "What?"
"oh Van-sama! you should see Hitomi san!! she looks so..different..and so pretty!!" Merle said with glee then ran out.
Van smiled.
Hitomi gazed into the mirror, "Is this really me?" she looked at her hands which were covered in white silk gloves.
She then looked in the mirror again. Her hair had small beads in it with clips and glitter stuff and she had a emerald tiara resting on her head.
she had a choke necklace on with a small green bead hanging down. Her dress was the best part. It was a teal green color with white beaded laces
hear and there. Eeverytime she moved her gown would glitter. Merle looked in awe as Hitomis twinkley dress reflected in her eyes.
Merle held her paws together, "Oh Hitomi you look so pretty!" she said getting a bit jealous but still very very happy for her.
Hitomi smiled. "Do you think everyone will like it Merle? I feel so..over dressed." Merle shook her head, "You should see some of the ladies in the ladies court! o_O Whoa!
they where dresses like your whereing now, everyday!" Hitomi smiled in releif and nodded. Hitomi walked towards to door but Merle ran in front, "What are you doing Hitomi? Dont you know anything? you have to wait in here
until the ball starts! =^_^=" merle chirped and walked out. Hitomi blinked and sat on the bed. "I have to wait..? oO"
-----
Van refused to get dressed in a tux. "o_O I refuse!" Van ran out of the servants cooradors and ran into his room and locked it.
He liked his red vest, his pants and black boots. Why would he want to change them? Van shurgged and laid on his king sized bed.Thinking
what Hitomi is going to look like when she enters the ball room.
----
Hitomi sighed in boredom. She got up and opened the door. She did not want to stay in a room until the ball started.
Hitomi slowly walked down the lonely hallways when she had a vision.
--vision---
Folken stood there, emotionless as Dilandou stood at his side whipping Van with a whip and laughing insanly.
Folken then pushed Dilandou aside. "My turn." He then took out a huge sword (like the one Balgus took out in episode one)
--end of vision--
Hitomi let out a faint cry, "Van!" she fell on her knees. "Should I warn Van? But I cant..I cant let my visions ruin the ball he has prepared for me..I'll tell him about it afterwards." Hitomi nodded.
Just then horns blew. It was time for the starting of the ball.
Hitomi stood up and brushed herself off, took a deep breathe and continued down the hallway.
----
Van sat in the head chair in front of all the dancers and the food tables which were at the back.
Dancers danced elegantly as Van watched wondering when Hitomi would arrive.
----
Hitomi quickly ran up to the enterance of the ball. The guard looked at her and blew the horn very loudly. He then took a deep breathe and yelled.
"The Lady Hitomi has arrived!!" the music stopped and so did the dancers staring at Hitomi.
Hitomi with bug eyes slowly walked down a long red carpet that led to where Van was. She felt very nervous.
Van stared at her. Her beauty overwhelmed him as he tightly held the edges of the thrown seat. Hitomi looked around at everyone staring at her. o__o Hitomi finally
stopped and a guard seated her in a small seat next to Van. Van just kept on staring in awe. "Wow.." he thought to himself. Hitomi gulped, "V-van?" she asked
nervously and her words stuttered a bit. "Yes?" he kept staring at her. "Why are they still looking at me? =\" Van blinked and turned to everyone, "huh? O-oh! Continue."
then the music started up again and they all began dancing. Merle dashed through the dancing people, almost being stepped on. She sat on the other chair next to Van.
"Sorry Im late!" merle purred. A handsome, tall man walked up to where Hitomi was seated and held out his hand.
Hitomi blinked. "Please have this dance with me Lady Hitomi!" he smiled cheerfully. Hitomi looked at Van and nervously took the mans hand and she was pulled out of her chair onto the dance floor.
the man put his hand on her waste and he put his hand in Hitomis hand and he lead her how to dance. Van wasnt to pleased but showed no sign of anger or jealousy. He had a reputation to keep ya know.
The song finally ended and Hitomi held her head a bit dizzy. "Thank you Lady Hitomi." The man kissed her hand and walkd away. As soon as he did she saw Van standing in front of her. He held out his hand to her and smiled.
Hitomi looked at it and a big smile of relief crossed her face. She took it gentley and as she did a slow song went on. She blushed a bit and Van put his hand on her waist and a hand in her hand.
Hitomi smiled at him as they started twirling and dancing slowly on the dance floor. "Hitomi theres something Ive been meaning to ask you. " Van said with a half smile. Hitomi just layed her head on his shoulder, "Later on" she muffled in his shoulder.
Van smiled at her as they continued to dance.
----
outside the kingdom stood an angery, impatient Dilandou. "Whats taking him so long, hasnt he got that bitch yet? (refering to hitomi)" he stomped his foot.
