Van took a deep breath and stepped away from the bodies of the dragonslayers. Just then, the cold body in his arms began shivering violently.
"Van! Please! Stop them! they're hurting me! Please! Save me Van! NOOO!" Hitomi screamed her arms snaking around Van's neck and holding on tight. Van pulled her face close to his, with concern etched on his face, and rested her head on his shoulders. "Don't worry Hitomi, you'll be alright now."
Van brought her back to his castle and laid her on his bed and drew the covers around her. Hitomi's face had returned back to it's normal rosy color, and she sighed contently. Van knelt next to her bed, and closed his eyes, listening to her soft, even, shallow breathing. He reached forward and touched her soft face, running his fingers down her cheeks.
"Hitomi, I love you so much you have no idea. I thought I almost lost you I..." A tear ran down Van's face. "But you won't ever care will you? You don't love me the way I do." He stood up and walked out of the room, and he closed the door softly behind him. Tears ran silently down his face.
"why.. just why." Van asked bitterly. He had walked out into the fields again, and sat down in the middle of the green grass. The skies were a light blue, with soft looking clouds drifting in the late afternoon sky.
"just how," Van asked himself... "How did I fall in love with you Hitomi?" He looked up and saw two doves circling the sky. They were beautiful, spreading their wings, flying one after the other, caring for each other.
"Why couldn't we be like that, so carefree, so in love." Van thought silently.
A light breeze brushed by the plains, and riffled through Van's dark hair.
He thought back to all those times, when he and Hitomi talked. About everything, they were so close. But after he told her, how he felt. It seemed different.
Remember when, we never needed each other.
the best of friends, like sister and brother.
we understood, we'd never be, alone.
Van walked alone through the solitary forest, enjoying the peacefulness. He was deep in thought. He never noticed when the night came. "It's just a feeling that came, I'm not even sure if I wanted to feel this way. Hitomi, If only I could have you beside me forever. I would give up..." Tears shimmered in Van's eyes again. "I would give up everything. I would die for you."
Those days are gone, now I want you so much.
the night is long, and I need your touch,
Don't know what to say, never meant to feel this way don't want to be, alone tonight.
Van strolled out of the forest, finding his path under the bright moon, hung in the velvet sky. The stars shimmered like diamonds, embedded in the heavens. "Why is it that I can't stop thinking about you Hitomi?"
Van sat down near the side of the road. "How did it happen, when did it happen. What can I do?" Van asked, anguish filling his voice. He buried his head in his hands, repeating her name. "Hitomi.. Hitomi..."
What can I do, to make you mine?
fallen so hard, so fast, this time.
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you.
Van walked briskly back to the castle to check on Hitomi. By the time he got back, he saw Hitomi sitting on a rocking chair, wearing a nightrobe. She rocked slowly back and forth, looking out the window, as if in deep thought.
Van walked forward, concerned. "Hitomi, are you alright?" She didn't answer. "Hitomi.." Van put one hand on her shoulder, and she spun around and slapped Van on the face. "Pig! Get away from me! Leave me alone!" Hitomi screeched in an angry, and frightened voice. Van took a step back, confusion in his face. He looked in her emerald eyes, and they were glassy, as if she was dreaming.
"Hitomi! It's Van!" Hitomi stood up angry and backed into the wall. "Leave me alone! Don't you dare touch me again! Please... Please!" Her lip trembled and she fell to the ground in a dead faint. Van lept forward and gathered her up in his arms. "Hitomi! Snap out of it!" Finally, she opened her eyes. Van smiled. They were cleared, she was finally awake. "Van! Where am I!" Hitomi said staring into his eyes.
"You're back in my room Hitomi. Don't worry, you're safe now." Hitomi stood up shakily. "It was horrible Van. Just horrible." Van stood up looking at her. "Oh God..." Van thought, looking at Hitomi. "She's so beautiful. I just want to hold her close to me, and caress her face, and tell her how much I love her. But I can't... I just can't."
