"Van!!!" Hitomi screamed, out,
clutching her glowing pendant to her chest. "Van!!! Oh Van...where are
you?"
Another flash of a vision struck
Hitomi, and again she saw Van..lying in a pool of blood,his blood.
No..no..no
If I'm gone when you wake
up, please dont cry...
"VAN!!!!!!!!" She cried out.
"VAN WHERE CAN YOU BE??"
No..no..no...Van!!!
And if I'm gone when you wake
up, it's not goodbye...
"Hitomi.." The voice was weak,
but she heard it. Looking around wildly she caught sight of a red piece..a
rag of red. She scampered over to it, ignoring her pains and bruises.
"Van!" She gasped, looking down
from where she stood. Van lay there, his shirt ragged and dirty, and torn.
His raven black hair hung in different places, and he looked compeltely
exhausted, like just a gust of wind could blow the life from him. "Van..what's
going on?"
Van coughed and choked, struggling
to talk as he did. Liquid spurted out of his mouth as he did, dark liquid.
Dark...maroon liquid.
"No!" She gasped again.
No..no..no..
Don't look back at this time
as a time of heartbreak and distress...
The image...Van in a pool of
blood...
"NO!!!!!!" She screamed.
"ALLEN!! MILERNA!! MERLE!!! SOMEONE!!!" She scremed again, jumping
from where she stood next to Van, cradeling his head in her arms. "Van..."
She said in a quiet voice. "What happened?" Suddenly, Van's head hung limply,
finally given away from the exhaution of spitting out blood. Frantically,
she grabbed his wrist, and breathed a sigh of relief as she found a pulse.
"Hitomi?" A blond head appeared
from no where.
"Allen!" She cried. "You have
to help me! Van..Van he might.." SHe struggled to find the words, but couldn't.
Allen however understood, and ran off to fetch the others.
Hitomi sat there alone,fighting
to stop her tears, and hugged Van's limp frail body to her's, hoping for
the world that he would live.
Don't leave me...
A few hours later, Hitomi sat
outside, looking through a window at the sight in front of her. The damaged
body, the broken one.
No..no..no..
I'll be with you...
"Please don't go Van.." She whispered,
tears in her voice. "You can't lrave me...not now, not ever..."
No..no..no
Don't cry;I'm with you, Don't
cry; I'm by your side..
"No." She cried silently. "No,
you're not. You have to get better, you have to live..or else you'll never
be by my side.."
Inside the room, from the window
she was looking through, Van struggled, a painful frown on his face.
Milerna looked at his racing
pulse, and looked at the man beside her.
"Is he...?"
"No." She gulped, setting his
wrist back down. "No. He's not going to make it."
He's not going to make it...
Hitomi's eyes shot open, and
she gazed into the darkness in horror.
He's not going to make it...
"Van..." She whispered. "Good
bye.."
Don't cry Hitomi..
The voice spoke out to her from
no where. Van's voice.
"I won't." She whispered, trying
her best not to..
Hitomi, my body may be gone,
but I'm still with you..
"Van.." She choked.
My place may be gone, but
I'll still be with you forever..
"I..I.." She sobbed, forgetting
her promise not to cry.
Don't cry Hitomi...
I'll be there, I'll be here
to comfort you at all times...
"You..." She brushed her tears
from her face.
I don't want you to cry and
weep..
I may be sleeping an endless
sleep..
But in your heart you have
all our good times..
Hitomi swallowed, and smiled
in spite of herself as she remembered her endless fights with Van, as she
coaxed him tp be less serious, and away and away, the frown that etched
his face slowly faded...
So if I'm gone when you wake
up, it's not good bye..
"It's not good bye.."
So if I'm gone when you wake
up, please don't cry..
"I won't..."
Don't back at this time as
a time of heartbreak and distress...
"I won't..."
Remember me..remember me..
"I will...forever..."
Cause I'll be with you in
your dreams..
"Van..." She choked out, hugging
her knees to her chest.
Don't worry Hitomi. I'll see
you again.
The voice faded away, leaving
Hitomi by herself.
"Don't leave me.." She cried
softly. "Don't..."
The day of thh funeral was a
sad one, and Hitomi often had to make herself stop crying.
"I loe you Van..." She whispered
softly, as she stood in front of his grave.
I do too...I promise you I'll
never leave you..
He'll never elave me.. She
thought back to her old books, about how old spirits, dead ones that never
passed one..because of what they did...they stayed behind..to stay..
He'll never leave me... if
he never elaves me..he'll never be happy...I want him to be happy..it makes
me happy if he's happy...
She looked up, her face shining
with invisible tears.
"I don't need promises Van.."
She called out. A pause then..
Thank you Hitomi...
"I don't need promises..." She
whispered again, then looked back at his grave. "And I don't..."
