Chapter 12

That night Hitomi had trouble sleeping but manage, when she finally got to
sleep she had this strange dream. She was somewhere, somewhere like the
room she was in now but it wasn't this room. It was a bedroom much like the
one she was in but different. Then a man came in, of course she couldn't see
his face but he had something, that she couldn't see either.
"Give it to me!" he yelled at her.

"WHAT? What do you want?!" Hitomi had screamed back at him. But then she
woke up.

The rest of the night she sleep without dreams, which she decided was
better then having bad ones. "Ok, still another hour or two tell Van gets
up" she mumbled to herself. She once again had to get up and go and see
Melerna and the others. She didn't mind tho, they were her friends and she
would do anything for them. Hitomi finally reached there staying place, she
was about to go in when she saw Celena over on one of those big swings.
Hitomi decided to go over and see her instead. "Celena! Hi!" Hitomi jogged
over.

"Hitomi! Oh hi!"

"So how was your night here?" Hitomi asked siting next to her on the swing.

"Oh I really like it! Melerna liked it too! And Allen I bet he liked it
too." Celena's tone of voice went down and bit and Hitomi noticed.

"Did something happen?" Hitomi asked a little worried something had.

"Oh no" Celena said quickly so that Hitomi could let out sigh. "Ha, no
Allen's just I don't know I haven't seen him around, he went out late last
night and he 'I think' came back really late, and then he left again really
early this morning. The house keeper told me."

"Oh?" Hitomi hoped Allen was ok. She may love Van but she cared of Allen as
well, and they were great friends. "Well were do you think he went?" She
asked the yawning Celena.

"Who knows!" Celena said "Well if I know Allen he is probably off in the
woods practicing with his sword now"

"That sounds like him" Hitomi said in thought. "Want to go look for him?"
Hitomi asked her.

"Not yet, we should wait tell Melerna wakes up, we don't want to leave her
all alone." Celena reminded the other girl that she had other guests.

"Haha ok yeah, that silly old sleepy head!" Celena giggled with Hitomi at
the stupid and silly remark she had made.

"Well, how about this, you can go look for him and I'll stay here with
Melerna" Celena's face all of a sudden turned into a sly smile, then Hitomi
realized what she had said. "I mean I'll go look for him, because if he
found out that I let you go out around without someone, he'd KILL me!"
Celena giggled because she knew she was right.

"Ok then, you go look for him Hitomi, and I'll stay here with Melerna"
Hitomi still didn't know what to do.

"Well....I guess you'll be ok, sense he left you alone already" Hitomi
thought to herself out loud. "Ok, but don't Celena DON'T do anything, don't
get me in trouble!" Hitomi giggled and the last part with Celena laughing as
well. "Ok I'll be back soon probably" and with the yelling Celena in the
background Hitomi ran down the road. Hitomi soon ran into the woods ' Allen
where are you?' she thought to herself. 'Oh wait! GRR... I'm so stupid! I
can find him easily! Even without my pendent!' and with that Hitomi closed
her eyes and tried to picture the knight. "Ha! There you are" Hitomi said to
herself under her breath, for she had just saved a lot of time and energy.
Hitomi then entered a huge field but saw no one, she slowly walked into the
middle, she sat down right there. The grass was a little past her waist so
when she sat down all she could see was grass, unless she looked up then
there was sky. 'something's coming' her senses told her. She froze staying
totally still.

"Hitomi?" It was Allen he was looking down at the girl who he hadn't noticed
in the tall grass.

"Allen," Hitomi said with a sigh of relief.

"Hitomi? What are you doing out here?" Allen said putting his hand out to
help her up. Hitomi toke it and he helped her to her feet.

"Um.. Well Celena said that you came in late last night and left early this
morning, and well" Hitomi looked at the ground. "Well we were worried" Allen
looked shocked at first then smiled.

"Worried? Well lest I know some people care," he laughed to himself.
"How did you find m-" he stopped suddenly "stupid question." he said, he
knew how she had found him.

"Allen?" Allen turned and looked at the green eyed girl in front of him
"Allen is there something wrong?" Hitomi looked a little worried.

"Wrong? Oh no I just," he paused "I just needed some time to think."

"Oh," Hitomi said "Well that's ok, everyone needs a break from the world
sometimes to think things threw." she said with a smile. "I think we should
head back now don't you?" she asked him.

"Sure." he said. When they were leaving Hitomi stopped in her tracks.
"Hitomi? You all right?"

Allen asked her.

"Yeah I just and the strangest feeling that we're being watched" She said
not moving, still looking straight ahead, then she suddenly jerked her head
to the left. Allen did the same.

"Hitomi is there something there?" he asked her taking out his sword.

"HITOMI!? HITOMI!" there was a voice far off in the distance it was a
child's.

"That's Eliza!" Hitomi said. "ELIZA OVER HEAR!" all of a sudden a little
girl with a bright yellow dress with a white wool sweater over it with the
buttons left open came running towards her, from her left.

"HITOMI!" the little girl yelled still running towards her.

"Eliza hi!" Hitomi said when Eliza ran right into her arms to get a big hug,
witch she did. Allen was shocked, it was that little girl that had brought
him that note. He hadn't realized they were so close. He then put away his
sword. "Haha hi Eliza!" Hitomi said rocking the little girl back and forth
while still in there hug.

"hi Hitomi!" the little girl was giggling. "I saw you come in here and I
wanted to see you so I followed," Allen thought how cute they looked, the
little thing couldn't even reach her arms all the way around Hitomi. Her
hair was now in one braid in the back instead of two like he remembered.

"Eliza you met Allen right?" Hitomi asked her as she turned to face Allen
only to look back at the girl who nodded.

"Yes I met him yesterday, and he was really nice to me Hitomi!" the girl
looked like she was about to tell a long story the way she was wide eyed
and still nodding her head up and down.

"I'm not surprised," Hitomi said "Yes, Allen is very nice." Allen was now
blushing, even from such a small compliment. Eliza then got on her tippy
toes so that she could whisper in Hitomi's ear.

"Yeah, and I want to marry him!" she whispered in her ear. With the comment
Hitomi broke into laughter. "Don't tell." she warned Hitomi.

"Oh don't worry I wont tell!" Hitomi said between giggles, the little girl
was turning mad red now from blushing, but she didn't care. "Come Eliza walk
back with us." the little girl nodded as Hitomi toke her hand and they
started to walk then they stopped. Hitomi turned around and looked at Allen,
who was totally dumbfounded, he had just missed a total conversation and
didn't understand anything that had just happened. "Cough! Allen care to
join us?" Hitomi asked the wide eyed man.

"Sure." he smiled and laughed to himself at what had just happened.

"Allen you can hold Eliza's other hand," she winked at Eliza who had a big
smile on her face.

"Sure." Allen agreed. Eliza had her small little hand up in the air already.
He toke it and smiled down at the little girl. She had big blue eyes that
glistened. When they got back a half an hour had passed sense Hitomi left
the castle, she still had time left yet. When Celena looked down the road
for the hundredth time she saw Allen, Hitomi and a little girl laughing
like mad.

'That's that girl form yesterday!' Celena looked at her now comparing her
from the last time she saw her. 'Sooooooooo cute! She's still so cute!' she
decided. The little girl was skipping trying to keep up with Allen and
Hitomi's pace. "HI!" Celena ran up to them.

"Hey," Hitomi smiled at Celena. "Eliza you remember Celena don't you?" Hitomi
asked "Or did you meet her after?" Hitomi bent down to the little girls
height.

"Oh yes! I met her yesterday! She's Allen's sister, she is nice a pretty
too!" It was once again looked like Eliza was going to tell a story it made
Celena giggle and blush.

"Yes she is," Hitomi gladly added. Celena was a nice rosy color now.
"Oh, Eliza, tell your parents that we all said happy anniversary will you?"

"Ok!" she promised.

"Cool, today is your parents anniversary AND Van's birthday!" Celena added
to the conversation.

"Today is Van's birthday?" Eliza asked, she hadn't none it was his birthday.

"You didn't know Eliza?" Allen spoke up.

"Nope," she shook here head. "Hitomi" Eliza's big blue eyes made her way up
to Hitomi's who was still crouched down. "Hitomi can I come to the castle
around lunch time and meet you somewhere privet?" Hitomi look at her
strangely then with a smile.

"Sure why?" Hitomi asked.

"Ha, ha!" she giggled "why do you think I said privet silly?" she giggled
then stared running down the road. "Bye bye everyone!" and they all waved as
she ran home, or wherever she was going.

"So is everything alright?" Celena asked Allen.

"Huh? Oh ha yeah," Allen said with a big smile. "Everything is fine, thanks
for worrying though." he said.

"Allen why wouldn't we?" Hitomi asked him, looking up at him. Allen looked
down at her first happy then worried and scared. It wasn't him though, it
was Hitomi, her eyes suddenly wide scared and filling with tears almost.

"Hitomi?" Allen asked putting his hands on her shoulders.

"Allen," she breathed so quietly Allen barley heard "ELIZA! NO!!" she
screamed running off.

"Hitomi!?" Allen yelled after her, he then ran after her knowing he wouldn't
catch up with the girl but tried, whatever it was it was bad and it
concerned Eliza and he had come quite attached with the young girl and he
would do anything to help her.

"Where are you going?!" Celena yelled down the road at them. "Oh well I get
to stay here and stay with that old sleepy head Melerna," Celena said, being
stuck there was no fun, but someone had to do it.
