This is the continued story of Van and Hitomi starting the day following their battle with Alizon in the Priestess Temple from the legendary Atlantis. On Gaea all seems peaceful but things are not always as they seem.
Awaking to the warmth of the sun on her face Hitomi slowly sits up looking at the bandages on her hands her heart is filled with questions and worry "What has happened to me I don't understand this strange power that threatened to destroy all I hold dear" thinking back to the events of last evening she recalls feeling a presence in the temple with her encouraging her to follow her heart the voice telling her "You can stop this Hitomi, the past must not be repeated"
Flashback…
"I won't let you kill him" her hear beat quickening as a bright light surrounds her.
"You bitch! I'll destroy you" he sent a light toward her that seemed to bounce off the energy that surrounded her. She never felt fear.
End Flashback…
Her eyes wide with horror "Did he say that" she thought hard to recall the words she heard as she channeled her energy toward Alizon.
"Your awake" "Are you feeling better?" Her thoughts were interrupted as van entered the room carrying a tray "I brought you some food you should eat to regain your strength"
"Great I'm starving" she smiles brightly as he sits on the bed next to her placing the tray on a small table by the bed. She begins to eat of the least foreign looking morsel on the tray as something accrues to her "Van this is not the room I was in yesterday" she says looking into his eyes.
"This is my room Hitomi" van says with a slight blush "I wanted you near me always, but you can have any room you like"
"I like your room" she wraps her arms around his waist hugging him tightly. "I love you so much van" her thoughts still troubled "Van, what do you know about the temple we were in?"
"Only the legends, I never put much merit in them" he held her closely "The legends tell of a priestess that was chosen from childhood because of her special abilities, its said that she was the power behind the Zone of absolute fate. The people of Atlantis fought for her power as if she was more weapon than a person in the end she sealed herself in the temple." He paused "No one knows for sure if she was destroyed with Atlantis or if she was protected by the temple" Hitomi listened closely "I first started to believe the legend when I saw a Draconian women image in Freid when the Duke showed us the sword"
"I saw that too Van a power filled the room that was frightening" "I have a feeling she was not destroyed with Atlantis" she paused "I believe she was protected by the temple"
"We will go back as soon as you are well, but for now I want you to rest Hitomi" he said firmly "We will find the answers together"
"Yes Van" she whispered with a smile returning to his warm embrace.
In Austiria…
"Celena the healer is here to see you, Are you feeling any better?" Allen whispered as he gently held her hand. She had not been the same since leaving Fanalia and he was more than a little worried about her.
"No Allen, I don't feel better" she strained to keep the tears from falling as she changed the subject "What happened last night Allen? Why did we change course before heading home" her eyes curious
"Hitomi was kidnapped, we went to help van rescue her?" his eyes suddenly turning dark with sadness.
"Kidnapped…by who…who would…" her words stuck in her throat as it dawned on her she knew exactly who did it. "Is…is he dead?" she closed her eyes waiting for the answer.
"Is who dead?" being pulled from his thoughts.
"A-Alizon, is he dead? She asked again trying to keep her voice steady.
"Yes he is" he said slightly confused he didn't know they had even met.
"Who killed him?" she asked dryly glancing out her window "Van?"
"No, why all these questions Celena?"
"Damn it" she thought, making her voice calm "I just want to know" "Who did it?"
Still confused at the point he answered her slowly "H-Hitomi, I'm not sure how but she destroyed him before he could kill Van"
"Thank you Allen, will you show the healer in please"
He nodded as he went to call the healer deciding he would question her further when she felt better he opened the door motioning for the healer to enter. Entering swiftly he motioned for Allen to leave the room. "Lets see young lady what has made you so pale" he opened his bag looking for just the right instrument.
"I already know what's wrong" she said with an unusually cold voice "I'm with child" the healers eye went wide.
"With child? How long ago did you- He asked with concern she was not married after all.
"Two days" she said shortly.
"That's too soon to know for sure you…"
"I Know!" she snapped, "I can already feel it, sense him you could say" with a slight smirk.
"Who is the father he…" he attempted but was again cut off.
The healer started to protest, but the cold almost blood thirsty look in her eyes changed his mind "I can take you to the monks they can help you through this, but don't you even want to tell your brother" he urged
"No he must never know, you find an excuse for my absents" she turned her eyes to him and glared "Its in your best interest if he stays in the dark …" her word interrupted as she gasped in pain.
Frantic the doctor held her down as to his astonishment her
stomach was growing "By the Gods?" he gapped in horror as she settled and now
looked every bit five months pregnant
"T-This can't be what Demon has done this to you?" he stared at her his eyes wide. Before he could continue a sharp pain invaded his mind as she spoke without words "The same one that will destroy you if you don't follow my order!"
To be continued…
This chapter was revised to give you an idea where I'm going with this. As for the rating you will see a reason for it in later chapters I've never been one to just through people in the sack it should have something leading to it other than pure lust…well I won't go that far, but I'd like you to have a plot surrounding the sex scenes I just like it that way.
P.s. Please Review I can always use advises, encouragement, and critiques as always flames welcome. Be rough I can take it.
