Hitomi and Van- Fateful Destiny
Chapter 6: The interrupted dream
come true( Hitomi and Van's Wedding!)
* One month later*
In Hitomi's room....
Hitomi was
sitting in a guest room, her room until her and Van were officially married.
Merle had bounced into their room early in the morning a few days ago, when her
and Van weren't even awake yet, saying that for the next 2 days, Hitomi and Van
weren't allowed to be sleeping in the same room. Now, it was her wedding day.
She was up at the crack of dawn, just out on the guest room balcony watching the
dark skies enjoying the fresh, cool air. Merle then bound into the room.
"Hitomi! I can't believe it!
Today is the day! I never thought I would see the day when Van would actually
marry someone!" Merle laughed quietly.
"Merle, I can hardly believe it
myself... it seems like it was just yesterday I met him..." Hitomi went off
into her own little world, remember that day when she was running on the track.
A boy had appeared out of nowhere claiming a dragon was on it's way. Then, being
whisked off into a world she never knew existed. Falling in love, now getting
married. She come back to the real world when a very angry Merle was threatening
to claw her face up.
"Come on Hitomi! We don't have
all day to get you ready! Hurry up! Take a bath!" Merle ordered, pointing
Hitomi over to a corner of the room that had been set up earlier, a large
bath tub with a screen put in front. Hitomi chuckled slightly, then after
shooing Merle out, she relaxed into the warm water, only to stiffen slightly at
the sound of her bedroom door being opened.
"Here's your towels
Hitomi." Merle said, leaving. Hitomi breathed a sigh of relief that it
wasn't Van. After feeling clean, she took the towels Merle had brought in, and
dried herself, then wrapping a towel around herself she opened the door a crack
to see Merle waiting outside the door.
"Are you done your bath?"
Merle asked.
"Yes, could you help me with
everything else?" Hitomi asked.
"Duh! Of course! Why else do
you think I'd be waiting out here!" Merle agreed, walking back into
Hitomi's room.
A few hours later, Hitomi was
dressed in her white wedding gown, looking every bit the Queen Van saw in her.
Hitomi was so surprised that she barely recognized herself. She was wearing a
pure white satin off-the-shoulder style wedding gown, the top part of it hugged
her chest and torso tightly, then became poofy at the bottom. For her otherwise
bare neck, she wore the pendant Van gave back to her, and with her light brown
hair, Merle had put it up into an elegant bun, with a few curly tendrils of hair
hanging down at the sides of her head, then to finish it off, she was holding a
bouquet with deep red roses. She looked beautiful. However, Merle hadn't
finished yet! Hitomi was trying to sit still as Merle was adding just a bit of
makeup to give Hitomi a healthy glow. Finally glancing at the clock, Hitomi and
Merle realized they had only an hour left. (The wedding was supposed to start at
11:00am, do the math... correct! It is now 10:00am!)
"Oh Merle! Thanks for
everything!" Hitomi almost started crying but Merle held up a hand.
"Hitomi, you can't go crying
yet! Sure, the makeup is waterproof, but no one likes a bride with red eyes and
nose! Besides, you're supposed to cry AFTER you actually get married."
Merle smiled, trying to calm Hitomi down.
"Oh crap...I have to get
ready!" Merle immediately ran to her room telling Hitomi to stay where she
was, for if Van saw her, it was supposedly bad luck.
Meanwhile... back in Van's room....
Van was getting
dressed with the help of Allen and Dryden. Millerna would've helped Hitomi, but
after she and Dryden got re-married, they had a baby, so Millerna had to look
after that.
"Van, stop pacing around!
Stand still! We have to fix your suit!" Allen was getting rather annoyed
with Van, as he couldn't stay still for more than 2
seconds.
" You expect me to be so calm
at a time like this?! You must be kidding Allen!" Van looked at Allen as if
he was a mad man, but finally went back to stand in front of the mirror, as
Allen and Dryden continued to fiddle with his cape and suit. Van was thinking of
how much he just wanted the ceremony to be over so he could hold Hitomi in his
arms again, and be proud to call her Hitomi Fanel, or Queen Hitomi Fanel...
Queen of Fanelia... endless titles flew in his mind then finally he realized
that Allen and Dryden were telling him they were done.
The last hour and the rest of
ceremony was a blur to Hitomi and Van, as they suddenly found themselves about
to say their vows to each other.
"I Van Slanzar de Fanel King of
Fanelia, take you Hitomi Kanzaki to be my wife, and Queen of Fanelia. Everything
I have, my life, my love I give to you. In times of need, I will be there, in
times of happiness I'll be there to share your joy. I will always be there for
you forever." Van said his vow slipping the ring on Hitomi's finger,
looking at her with love in his eyes, he totally forgot everyone else was there
watching.
"I Hitomi Maaya Kanzaki Seer of
the Mystic Moon, take you Van Fanel to be my husband. All I own, my life my love
I give to you. In your times of sadness, I'll be there to comfort you, in your
times of joy, I'll be there to share it with you. I will be with you
forever." Hitomi said her vow, also slipping a ring onto Van's finger
looking into Van's eyes with her own full of love, only for him. The priest said
a few words after they had finished their vows.
"And I now pronounce you King
and Queen of Fanelia, husband and wife." The priest put Van's crown on his
head, and Hitomi's crown on hers. Then, smiling at the two who were dying to her
the last words, added: "You may now kiss the bride."
As Hitomi and Van kissed
passionately in front of everyone, a deafening cheer erupted from the crowd in
the chapel. They did it, Van and Hitomi had Finally gotten married. Van was now
carrying Hitomi outside, while still kissing her. When they were out in the
sunshine, they broke the kiss for air, laughing and smiling at each other, the
cheers of everyone still going on, church bells ringing merrily.
Just then, they noticed a large
shadow over pass them, but it wasn't a cloud. It was a giant air ship! =( A girl
came out of the ship with an army of soldiers, with such light blonde hair, it
looked white. The girl had bright, blazing blue eyes, they could be mistaken for
the blue methane in a flame. Hitomi immediately remembered her as the girl from
her vision.
"V-Van... she-she's..."
Hitomi trembled whispering.
Putting Hitomi behind him placing
himself between the rude girl and Hitomi, he quietly asked, "What? Who is
she?" Van tried to keep Hitomi calm by using his gently, quiet voice.
Hitomi gulped. "She's....going
to try to...kill us. She's after the two Escaflownes." Van's eyes widened. Crap...Well.
I'm getting to the bottom of this.
Speaking with total authority, (Or
rather his arrogant voice! LOL) Van looked at dilandau girl and asked, "Who
are you? Why are you here?" his eyes looking like a live fire.
The girl answered, "Hasn't your
little queen told you yet? If not then I am Takita. I want the Escaflowne, so
hand it over or say buh bye to Fanelia, it's people and it's queen!" Takita
laughed crazily. Van growled and held his sword at his side. He knew he couldn't
just rush into this, there was too much at risk. He needed to get to Escaflowne.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Allen, the Crusade crew-members, and
the castle samurai awaiting Van's signal to fight.
"Now!" Van yelled, and ran
with Hitomi to the hangar where Escaflowne sat regally. Takita tried to chase
after them, but Allen stepped in the way.
"Going somewhere?" Allen
asked in his chivalrous tone, striking her sword with his. Allen decided to take
her, since he was one of the best swordsmen on Gaea, and would have a hard time
trying to lose him. Van, Hitomi....be careful. He thought.
