Emerald Tears


"Allen, I... I can't do this." Hitomi stuttered and tried to open the door. Allen stepped infront of her and blocked her way from the door. "No girl on Gaea ever refuses me. Why is there any differance with you? Hitomi?" He asked. He reached out and caressed her cheek. Hitomi felt such a longing for love. But she didn't want Allen's love. She wanted Van's, but she could never have it.

"Allen... " She sighed and leaned back into his arms. Allen's eyes showed concern for her. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered. "Hitomi, I'll love you forever, but it's up to you." Hitomi settled back into Allen's warm, comforting arms. She closed her eyes and felt Allen guide her back to the bed. She didn't care anymore. All she wanted was love.

Van had been walking down the hall. He shook his head as he felt the pain that Hitomi felt as she walked away. It was just like that day when she left. Only this time, it was Hitomi who walked away. A sob died in his throat. "Hitomi... why did you pick this time to come back? just when I was almost over you?" He walked down another corridor. He was almost out of Allen's castle when all of a sudden, he heard a small cry uttered from inside Allen's room. It was clearly Hitomi's. "Hitomi! She's in trouble!" Van slammed his body against Allen's door smashing it into the ground. He walked into Allen's room and gasped. Allen was sitting with his bare back to Van on his bed. He seemed to be passionatly kissing someone. That someone's head rested on Allen's shoulder. Van watched silently as Allen gently slid his fingers through Hitomi's brownish blond hair. Hitomi kissed him Allen gently pulled Hitomi's uniform down from her shoulders with his thumbs. Van's mouth opened in surprise.
"Hi.. Hit... Hitomi!" He yelled. Allen's head whipped around and he looked right at Van. "Van!" Allen uttered in surprise. Van looked at Hitomi and Allen. They were obviously in love. It was his fault that he interupted. A sad and hurt look spread over his face as he saw Hitomi fumble to button up her shirt. Van turned on his heel and walked out of the room. "I'm sorry to bother you, Hitomi." he said sadly and slammed the door. A frustrated tear ran down Hitomi's face. She buttoned up the rest of her shirt and ran towards the door. "Hitomi! where are you going?" Allen said with a pained voice. Hitomi whipped around and starred at Allen. This was a man that she didn't love, she had given him what was most precious to her. Her love. She allowed him to explore her body, and now, she had lost Van too. "Allen... " Hitomi said her bottom lip trembling. "I can't do this. I don't... I don't love you!" Hitomi yelled and ran out of the room after Van.
