Hitomi's competition
Chapter 4: There's more to the Knight...

The ball looked beutiful, it was filled with people.
Van looked around and didn't see Hitomi. He walked to her room. At the door he knocked. No one answered but he heard voices in side, Van walked in.

" Hitomi, it's fine" said Mearl annoyed..

" It's no tight enough" said Hitomi..

" Fine..ahh" Mearl tugged at the laces of her dress but she couldn't get it tight enough.. Mearl then noticed Van looking at them.. Hitomi's back was to him.She waved at Van to come over to her and she put her other finger up to her mouth to tell him to be quiet..

" Hitomi, I think I can get it this time" said Mearl. handing the laces to Van.. Van pulled at them and tied it neatly into a bow..

" Thanks Mearl, thats tight enough, so how do I lo.." Hitomi turned and stopped as she saw Van right behind her.. Hitomi blushed..

" I guess it was you who tied it.thank you Van" said Hitomi..Mearl smiled and pushed Van into Hitomi making them fall onto the ground. Van fell ontop of Hitomi.. Mearl dashed out laughing..

"Mearl'' screamed Hitomi..Hitomi turned her head to look right into Van's face. Her breath stopped. Van closed his eyes and leaned his head in. Hitomi closed her eyes. As Van's lips touched her's a knock at the door. Hitomi and Van snapped back into realitity. Van jumped off Hitomi and offered his hand to help her up.

" Well, looks like I disturbed something" said Kei leaning on the door way.

" kei, oh I..'' said Van.

" Van was helping me up nothing more than that" said Hitomi..eyeing Van.

" Okay..I came by to ask if I looked good in this dress" said Kei twirling around infront of them..

" You look great" said Hitomi..

" wonderfull" said Van..

" So do you two. I think that you shoulf have the first dance togather" said Kei.. Hitomi smiled at the thought of being the first one to dance with van at the ball..

" Oh I can't I told Yuka I would dance with her first" said Van.. Hitomi's smiled disappeared..

" Uh..thats alright" said Hitomi..

" LORD VAN" said Mearl walking in..

" Uh yes" said Van..

" You got some visitor's from Aztec" said Mearl. Kei flniched at the name.

" Where are they" asked Van.

Dalando watched from a corner of the room as Van, Mearl,Hitomi, and kei walk into the thrown room.

" Come on Kei, just go somewhere alone"..

Kei stopped at the door of the thrown room..

" I'll stay here along with Hitomi and Mearl '" said Kei..

Van walked over to his guests..

" I am Van King of Faniella why is it you come to see me" asked Van.

" We have not came here to see you, with all do respect we came back to take back our princess" said Hyami..

" Princess, I don't know of any princess but Princess Yuka, but she isn't from Aztec" said Van..

" No, Princess Yuka is not the one we are looking for. This girl has been hiding her idenety to you" said Mai-Lynn


" Well, then I would love to know who has been lying to me" said Van..

Kei grabbed her bracelet on her wrist.

" We do not know what she calls herself. But she has black hair and is a skilled fighter. We know she has foughten for you" said Hyami.

" Uh.. I have a knight who has black hair and she's.. " Van turned around and starred at kei in the door way..

Hyami and Mai-Lynn looked at the door way..

" Uhhh" kei turned around and ran ..

" Get her, we can't let her escape..Father wants her" said Mai-Lynn.. the solidars and Hyami ran after her..

" Hey wait a second" said.

" If you don't want a war king then let us have my sister" said Mai-lynn..

Van remained silent..

Kei ran to a window and kicked it open and jumped down onto the ground making her dress rip a little. Kei ran over to the stables and grabbed a horse. She jumped on and ran off into the forest.

Dalando got on his horse and followed....
