Chapter 3
Hitomi woke up and blinked a few times then squinted in against the bright light.
"....?!!...." she thought. She heard a voice say,
"Hitomi, it's all right dear just go back to sleep.." then someone put a oxygen mask shaped thing on her mouth. Her body tingled all of the sudden and then her world went black...
Hitomi woke up again this time in her bed. She slowly leaned up, in the back of her mind she knew something was different... she just couldn't place her finger on it. She stretched her upper body then her legs. She sighed and murmured,
" Ahh, that feels good....." Suddenly it dawned upon her... she faintly wiggled her toes.
"Oh my god!" she spoke aloud. Suddenly Van and Merle burst into the room asking in a frantic tone what was wrong and if she was all right. Hitomi, trembling reached out for Van's hand. He gently took hold and squeezed reassuringly.
"My legs" she said in awe "I can actually feel my legs!" She tried to get out of bed but, Van held her back.
"No" he said while restraining her, "you might not heal properly. Wait a few more days then we'll try to get you on your feet" he smiled.
A hooded figure stood in the shade of the Austrian castle, not wanting to be seen. Softly it spoke aloud, whispering to itself.
"Van.." the person said almost longingly, letting the name linger on it's tongue.
"You seem so... happy..."the figure chuckled, "we'll that's just too bad..." A smile crept a across the figures lips.
"I'm sure I could make the situation better..." the figure's smiled held for a second then was replaced by a scowl of complete contempt.
"You will pay for what you've done to me. You've shamed me for the last time... Van Fanel!"
Hitomi felt dirty, no, that isn't the right words I guess.... she thought to herself. I feel more... grimy, um, covered in a thickening layer of sweat. Hitomi cringed her nose and sat up.
"I want to take a shower!" she declared to no one in particular. Slowly she stood up using a near by table for support and walked into the bathroom also using furniture and other nearby objects for support. She turned on the water and waited for the shower nozzle to sputter for a moment then spray the water. She slipped underneath and sighed in relief as the water seemed to wash away all the dirt, troubles, and pain. She thought of staying in the water forever, but, alas her perfect moment was cut short and Hitomi cut off the water and dried herself off. Hitomi then slipped on a robe and walked out the door. Merle greeted her with a stare.
"Van-sama's not going to like to hear that you've been moving around without the help of other people!" Merle taunted.
"Let him" Hitomi said simply, not wanting to start a fight with the childish cat girl. Hitomi opened a closet door a few feet away and took out some clothes, then staggered her way back to the bathroom and got changed. After a moment or so she came out, fully dressed and tottered back to her bed. Merle eyed her for a moment then commented,
"finally I can breath... you have no idea how bad you stunk..." Hitomi's eyes widened and she retorted,
" It's too bad you shed, honestly you'd think an animal sleeps in that bed!" Merle glowered at her then picked up one of her pillows and threw it Hitomi. The pillow flew through the air then land *smack* in Hitomi's face. Her eyes were wide in surprise, then she picked up her pillow and threw the one that Merle had a early tossed at her then threw another in attempts of a surprise attack. Merle ducked the first one but, was caught off guard with the second. The first pillow flew promptly across the room and clean out the window. For a moment there room was silent and then a high scream was heard followed by loud group of people talking. Merle scampered to the edge of the window, peered out it for a second then giggled. Hitomi, on the edge of her seat, whispered, afraid of being heard, "what... happened?" Merle walked over to Hitomi and sat beside her.
"Well" Merle began "it just so happens that the moment that you decided to through that pillow out the window, one of the nobles decided to pull up in a carriage..." then she paused, "and the pillow just so happen to land on the top of the carriage. It created a giant hole and scared one of the ladies into fainting" Hitomi listened with wide eyes, and whispered a occasional "oh my gosh" under her breath. Softly she stood up and walked across the floor to the window. Then carefully leaned out the window, enough to see the damage that the simple pillow fight had done.
"Shit" Hitomi muttered, "We'll never hear the end of this!"
Hitomi walked through the castle silently sticking close to the walls for stealth and support. She had wanted to go outside for sometime now but she had usually been tiring fairly quickly. Luckily on her way through the castle she only passed a sparse number of nobles and even fewer guards. So that meant a easy escape for her. Hitomi walked outside and into the courtyard and stood next a giant bush/like wall. Closing her eyes she looked up to the sky and reveled in the feel of the breeze and sunlight. Suddenly a hand went over her mouth and pulled into the shrubbery behind her. Then everything went dark.
Merle walked into the room Hitomi and she was sharing.
"Hitomi-san, you wanna...?" Merle stopped short when she noticed Hitomi was obliviously not there.
"Hitomi?" she called franticly and scurried around the room.
Van charged and brought his sword up into a crescent arch, disarming the other man of his sword. Then sword flew out of the man's hands. Both men stopped and warily eyed each other. Van stuck out his hand and the other man shook it,
"good match" they both said in unison. Another man stepped out of the shadows, clapping,
"Van-sama, you've improved a lot since the war." Van tensed up at the sound of his voice, Allen's voice. Allen had always been a rival for him when during the war. He always seemed better at the sword and more successful with women. Not that Van was complaining though, Hitomi had the choice between him and Allen and she had obvious choose him.
"Thanks, you too" Van said in a low uncertain type voice.
Then he heard a noise like a pattering of feet, and then he heard
"Van-sama! Van-sama" He quickly turned around and saw that Merle was running to him at full speed. Then she stopped in front of his feet,
"Van-sama" she wheezed " Hitomi's…. Hitomi's gone!"
Van's eyes widened in surprise,
"Gone.. Gone?" he stuttered
Hitomi opened her eyes slowly; she took a moment to familiarize herself with her surroundings. She was in a dark room and there was a faint light to the corner of her eye. She turned her head a bit in attempts to get a look at the light but something was keeping her head from turning, actually something was keeping her whole body from moving. Hitomi tried to lift up her arms but a cool leather strap kept them firmly in place. Then she did the same with her legs but they were also strapped down. That's when she realized she was in a chair of some sorts. The air around her was moldy, humid, and wet, like she was in some underground place. Her clothes were already starting to stick to her body, and become tight, making her body feel sticky. Faintly Hitomi began to hear a noise, like someone walking down a hall outside the room toward her. Her pulse started to race and her mouth went dry, she writhed frantically in chair, hoping she could get out before her captor came back. The footsteps were getting closer, and closer then suddenly, they stopped. Hitomi lay as silently as she could, holding her breath, counting the seconds as she waited, for something to happen. She could hear faint breath to her right then a voice spoke,
"Hitomi, the dragon's love interest…" it was clearly masculine voice, with a faint hint of insanity. Hitomi's eyes widened, she new that voice, it was critically familiar.
"Dilandau…?" Hitomi whispered even unsure herself.
"Aww, you had to guess right away didn't you? Oh well, at least you know what name to scream when the time comes…."
"What?!"
A feather light touch caressed her cheek and continued down her face, neck, and stopped on her blouse, in the middle of the chest area. Her breath was becoming fast and her heart was beating frantically in her chest. The touch eventually enlarged to two hands as she felt each button being undone.
Then Hitomi screamed.
Hello Outside world!!
Well do you like it? I've gotten lots of e-mails lately asking for this chapter! I'm sooo happy! It's actually really nice to know people are reading this! So aside from that I've got some buisness to attend to
First of all (this stuff mainly pertains to the last part)
- Hitomi is in a dentist like chair, just minus the comfy cushins!
- I will not write Hentai fics so don't expect me to create tons of imagery in the next chapter on what does happen to Hitomi. I also will not write about sex, I will only imply it. But don't get your hopes up on Van and Hitomi hoping into bed any time soon. ;^ . ^
Thanks for reading!
