Then, Van got a quick glance down the beach, the other bandit was running down after them "Hitomi! RUN!" Van screamed at Hitomi So Hitomi ran as fast as she could down the beach in the obiste direction the bandit was coming from. Van had soon struggled Free and started running after Hitomi. His wings hurt but with all of his might he spead them out and started to fly. He soon cought up with Hitomi and then she tripped and fell down. Meanwhile the other two bandits where running after them. Van stopped and rolled her on her back. He put his arms on her back and she wrapped her arms around him too. He then again took off into the air.

When Hitomi woke up, al she could see was blue sky and the two moons. She moved a bit but a shot of pain raced up her leg. But then she know tested that Van was sleeping right beside her leaning on a fence post. Hitomi Tried to move again but it was too painful. So She just sat there looking up at the blue sky…

An hour later, Hitomi woke up from the movement of Van. He was awake. "Hitomi?" Van's soft voice called to her. Hitomi moved a bit but the pain was unbearable. "Don't move" he said again "It will hurt even more". Now Van was holding her lightly in his arms. Hitomi opened her eyes. There she saw Van looking down on her with his redish gold eyes…

Hitomi Fell asleep again and so did Van. Van woke up later on to see the 2 moons shining brightly in the dark. Van carefully stood up not to wake Hitomi and he lifted her up into his arms. "Van?" Hitomi said as she woke up. "I can walk my self" she said again opening her eyes. "It's ok, I can carry you" he said back and started to walk to a clearing on the forest. When they found a clearing Van layed Hitomi down beside a tree and went to go find firewood. In a few minutes he had come back with lots of firewood and soon a fire was lit and burning. Van then sat down beside Hitomi and she fell asleep beside him.
