A pair of blue eyes were waching Hitomi and Van.
Merle kept a very close eye on Van ever since Hitomi
left to go home, but now with her back she knew that
Van wouldn't need her to watch over him.
'They look so happy together' Merle thought. Then
she took off to go back to the castle.
After their kiss, Hitomi took a step back to
look at Van more closely. He had grown taller, but had
she, his hair was a bit longer and as unrulely as ever,
he dressed little more like the king he was. He was
wearing a white silk shirt with the emblem of Fenelia
on it. She thought that he looked absolutly handsom.
Van was looking at Hitomi as closely as she was
looking at him. He noticed that her hair was now down
to her shoulders, she was taller, and she no longer
looked so boyish as she did when she was 15, she was no
longer a teenaged girl, she was a woman. 'Wow' he
thought.
"So are you just going to stare at me all day or
are you going to take me back to Fenelia with you?"
Hitomi said with a little humor in her voice. Van
snapped out of the trance she had him in.
"Oh, um.....sure" Hitomi giggled at him. He
may have grown up alittle but he had that part of him
that didn't knowhow to talk to women.
"What's so funny?" Van asked.
"It's just that you still don't feel confortable
talking to women. I thought that you would probably
become a ladies man. I guess that I was wrong."
Hitomi answered.
"You want to go to Fenelia now or do you want to
stay here and talk about how I'm not a ladies man."
Hitomi just looked at him and then answered in a
British accent, "Lead the way Your Highness." Van just
looked at her with a funny face and then they started to
walked back to Fenelia.
In the city everyone was hustling around in the
castle back in Fenelia. "What's going on?" Hitomi
asked Van.
"Oh... uh.... its my birthday in two days." he
said.
"Why didn't you tell me before? It's not like
I'm going to leave right away." she said. Van started
to say something when he was attacked from behind by
Merle.
"Lord Van I saw you and Hitomi earlier I thought
that you would never come back because you looked so
comfortable." It was obvious that Merle was happy that
Hitomi was back, but she didn't know for how long.
"So how long are you staying Hitomi?" Merle asked with
hope in her eyes. She knew that if Hitomi left again
Van would sink into another depression and she had to
prepare for that.
Hitomi looked into Van's eyes, then she turned
to Merle, "I don't think that I'm ever going to leave."
she said. Both Merle and Van seemed to have funny grins
on their faces. Hitomi just rolled her eyes as if to
say 'Ya whatever.'
"How about I show you to your room." Van said.
He was very happy that Hitomi said that she wasn't going
to leave. She just smiled at him and nodded her head.
Aftter Van showed Hitomi to her room he was
talking with his advisors. "Lord Van you need to
choose a bride soon." said one of his advisors, Gatti.
"I know Gatti." Van said in a very annoyed
voice. "Anyway, I already have an idea off who to ask
to be my bride."
"Is it Lady Hitomi? She is a very nice girl,
but she is not of royal blood. She is just a common
person and not a good canidate for the part as your
wife and queen of Fenelia."
Van's blood was boiling now. "Are you telling
me that I can't ask the woman that I love to marry me?!"
It took all of his willpower to not freakout and toss
the table accross the room. "I will ask who I want to
ask!" With that Van stormed out of the room and slammed
the door behind him.
"So Hitomi, what are you going to wear to the
party?" Merle asked Hitomi in a very sly manor. She was
very curious, as cats usually are.
The question took Hitomi by surprise, "Oh....
um...... I have nothing to wear acually."
Merle eyes beamed, "Hitomi can I design your
dress for the party? PLEASE!" Merle always wanted to
see if the dress that she had disigned would be good
or not and this was her chance.
Hitomi looked kind of surprised because this
used to be her rival and she didn't know wat Merle was
going to do but Hitomi knew it would break her heart
if she didn't say yes. "Sure Merle. That would be
very nice of you."
"I already know what the design for your dress
is going to be," Merle sequeled with delight.'Lord Van
is going to drop dead when he sees her.' she thought.
Merle kept a very close eye on Van ever since Hitomi
left to go home, but now with her back she knew that
Van wouldn't need her to watch over him.
