A/N: Sorry this took so long. I just hate to type, go figure. Anyway, this isn't as long as some of my other chapters. Writer's block sucks. Anyway, just read and review.
Chapter 13
Allen stood at the window of his room, watching Van and Hitomi running in the rain. Both were soaking wet and laughing. Allen's heart broke when he saw Van pick up Hitomi, kiss her dead on the lips, and spin her around. Hitomi's laughter rang throughout the courtyard. They ran inside, Hitomi wrapped tightly in Van's arms. Allen was about to look away when he saw a figure move out of Van's private gardens.
"Who would be spying on Van and Hitomi?* He hurried outside and followed the figure. When he got closer Allen saw it was one of Van's personal guards. *He's headed for Mias' chambers, but why would a guard be seeing Van's head advisor?*
As Allen neared the room he put his ear to the door. He could barley make out what was said.
Mias: So what did you see?
Guard: The king and girl together in his private gardens.
Mias: Were they...?
Guard: Yes, the king seems very attached to this girl.
Mias: Like her or not Que he can not marry her! Fanalia must fall! We have to prevent a marriage between them and get rid of the girl.
Que (aka the Guard): The troops are almost ready. Their training is around 80% complete.
Mias: Good. Leave now, but keep and eye on the king and girl. Don't let him propose at any cost, understand?
Que: Yes.
Allen moved away from the door only to run into another guard. The man raised the blunt end of his sword and hit Allen over the back of the head. The last thing he heard was someone's cruel and hideous laughter. He slipped into darkness, not knowing what was to come.
Elsewhere
Van and Hitomi walked through the castle halls hand in hand. Servants smiled at seeing their king so lighthearted. They whispered among the rooms about a suspected marriage and how thing would change if the king did marry.
"Van, isn't the sunset beautiful with the rain falling?"
They stopped at a window to look at the scene in front of them.
"Very. I never would have taken the time to look at the setting sun before you came back. Now I can see beauty where ever I look. But you , you are more Beautiful than anything Gaea could ever produce."
Hitomi wrapped her arms around Van's back and lay her head on his chest. She smiled when she felt him lightly kiss the top of her head and hold her.
"I wish things could always be like this." Hitomi whispered.
Van looked down at her. "They cam..." She looked up at him and knew what he meant. "Hitomi...will"
"Your Majesty!" (Damn! Talk about bad timing!)
Van and Hitomi looked over to see Que running towards them. "What is it?"
"Your advisors wish to see you."
"Now!?" Que nodded.
"Hitomi please excuse me. I'll go see what they want and then come find you, so we can finish what we were talking about." She smiled and nodded.
"I'll be in my chambers."
With a quick goodbye Van left leaving Que watching Hitomi VERY closely.
"Would her lady mind if I escorted her back to her room?" He offered his arm.
"Of course not, I would enjoy the company." She took his arm and walked down the hall.
A/N: Alright since I cut it short I'll give you all a peak at the next chapter.
Hitomi tried the doorknob but it was locked. She looked over her shoulder to see Que advancing towards her.
"Why Que?"
He grabbed her wrists and pined her to the door. He leaned in , "I won't let you interfere with my plans. Van can't have you."
Well?? What do you think? I know, sap, but what can you do? Review and tell me if you want the next chapter! I'll try to make them longer!
