"Is it really you?" Her voice cracked slightly as she looked at the man standing before her. Slowly tears began to fill her eyes. This could not be real, not after all these years.
Van slowly approuched her bed just quickly enough to see the first tear fall from her beautiful eyes. "Please don't cry Hitomi!" His own voice cracked slightly as her looked at the most beautiful woman her had ever seen. Her beauty was not all in her looks but in the depth of her soul. Tears fell down Vans cheeks as he sat down softly at the foot of her bed. He was afraid to touch her. It was too good to be true that after all of these years that they would once again be reunited. He was afraid that if he reached for her that she would somehow disappear from his life and he would never be able to find her again. "I have waited so long for this day.... I just had to see you and---"
He was cut off as Hitomi jumped across the bed and threw her arms around his neck and buried her head in his chest. She just sat cried sliently for a few minutes trying to figure out if it was really possible. "H-how did you find me?" When she finally looked up to him, she met his eyes, searching for answers.
Van slowly reached into his shirt, pulling out the pendant that she had given him all those years ago. Hitomi could not help but let her tears fall freely again as he explained what had happened. "You pendant started glowing and I knew that something was happening in your life and I had to make sure you were okay." He reached up and touched her chin, moving it a bit so he could meet her eyes with his. "Are you okay?"
She was at a loss for words. Van, the man with whom she had been in love with for over 7 years had returned out of the blue into her bedroom at possibly one of the lowest points in her life just to ask her if she is okay and she suddenly could not find any of the right words to speak. She wanted to jump into his arms and tell him that she loved him and always had. She even could beg him to take her back to Gaea even if it meant being a maid or a servant. Anything to be near him but for some reason, she just could not say it. She knew deep down that if he did decline her that she could not handle that. And what if he was married or had a family, surely they would not take very kindly to a new girl hanging around the king. "I have been okay." Those words just slipped out in such a patheic manor that Van had no doubt that she was lying.
That was when Van leaned in and pulled Hitomi close into his chest like he had longed to for so long. He inhaled the sweet scent of her hair and carressed her back softly for a while before speaking once more. "Are you happy here Hitomi? If so, I will go and leave you alone forever but if you want, I would be honoured if you would come back to Gaea with me, even if it is just for a short while."
Her body shook gently in his arms as she looked him in the face. "Did you marry?" The question came out rather abruptly and it caught Van off gaurd.
He blushed slightly as he looked at her sheepihly "No."
"Why?" She had to get this answer before she jumped at his offer to return.
There was an incredibly long silence in the room as Van thought about the best answer to her question. When he answered he knew that this was the statement that would set the stage for the rest of their relationship and he only hoped that Hitomi understood what he meant. "I was never offered the one I wanted."
HItomis heart skipped a beat. There were no words to speak. She knew Van probably better then anyone besides Merle and he had just told her that he did care for her. Nothing she could think of to say would equal that so she placed her arms around his neck and closed that gap between them. Their lips met softly and the light kiss seemed to make them both beam as she pulled away to look at him "I would go anywhere with you."
Now it was Vans turn for emotion. He was a man now but he had spent a great deal of his life praying and wishing to here those words come out of her mouth to him. When she kissed him, he felt as though his whole life ahead of him became clear and with her by his side, he could do anything. "Does this mean you will come home with me?" He sounded as eager as a 6 year old getting ready to go to Disneyland.
She had to laugh. She nodded while wiping the tears from her eyes. She gathered a few things (i.e. clothing, tarot cards, her track uniform from college, a framed picture or Amano and Yukari and her class ring on a necklace chain, along with several other things) and left a letter for Yuakri on her counter. Once everything was packed in her bag she smiled to Van. "Lets go back!"
He smiles brightly as he grabbed her bags and scooped her up in his arms. "Lets go"
