Emerald Tears
"Van, I need you..." She whispered. She felt a sense of longing for that Angel. She could hear the rhythmic beat of the water beating down in the rocks below. She could feel her heart beating to the very same beat. All of a sudden, she understood. "Maybe things were meant to be this way..." Then she turned and walked in search a light.
Hitomi walked to school slowly, her head still filled with visions from the night before. She walked into the schoolyard with an aching heart.
"Hitomi!" a voice called behind her. She turned around and her eyes narrowed. It was Yukari. Yukari looked at Hitomi with such apoligetic eyes that Hitomi sat down and motioned Yukari to sit beside her. "Hitomi I..." Yukari's eyes went downcast then went back to meeting Hitomi's eyes. "About yesterday..." This is when Hitomi snapped. "I don't need you to explain! I know exactly what happened! I was there you know!" Hitomi yelled causing the whole school yard to look at them. Tears slipped out of Yukari's brown eyes. "I... look Hitomi! I know I should of told you that Amano had returned, but I love Amano so much! I should of told you that too. All I can say is that i'm sorry! You're my best friend Hitomi!"
Yukari pleaded. "Look Yukari, I really don't care about what happened anymore. It's true you should of told me, but it's my fault that I didn't notice earlier. How could I have not noticed you loved Amano? because i'm selfish. That's why. You're my very best friend and I didn't know. I'm sorry." Hitomi said tears coming out of her own eyes. Yukari leaned forward and gave Hitomi a hug. "So your not mad at me?" She said. Hitomi's shoulders went cold and she slumped backwards. She stood up and frowned. "I really don't know yet." She turned and sprinted out of the doorway leaving Yukari sitting alone. Hitomi walked back to where she was previously sitting the night before and sat down. She sighed. "How could I not notice? My own best friend, loved the one I love. And he loved her back. All this time, I was pretending. That he cared about me. But how..."
"Hitomi!" a male voice called. At the sound of this voice, Hitomi turned around and gasped. It was Amano. Tears filled Hitomi's eyes again. "No, Hitomi please don't cry. Listen to me." He said in the same pleading tone Yukari had. "What is there to listen to?" Hitomi said coldly and walked by Amano. Amano grabbed her hand and spun her towards him. "Listen!" he said. "Hitomi, i'm sorry you had to see what happened yesterday. I didn't tell you i returned. But I love Yukari now. I can't deny it any longer." Tears poured down Hitomi's face. She shook her hand out of his and pressed it over her ears. "I don't want to hear it anymore! Stop it!" Suddenly, her pendant began glowing. Amano gasped as his seagreen eyes sweeped across the heavens. A pillar of light flashed out of the heavens and carried Hitomi up into the sky. Amano was left screaming "Hitomi! Hitomi..."
