Chapter 2: Once and Again
She was falling. There was something all to familiar about it. She remembered that it was dark, and she
was falling. Slipping from the crumbling edge....... plummeting to a death, that wasn't met. For it was Van
who saved her, revealing his angelic wings. The angel saved her. How could someone save her now? A she fell in
to the depths of the darkness, her last words were said "Van, I'll never forget you."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Feathers fell to the ground showering the Earth. Her eyes wide she wasn't falling. It suddenly wasn't
dark anymore, there was no darkness. It was silent, she could only stare at his eyes, his wings, his face. Was
he, her guardian angel? For trouble would awaken and he would be there to defend, to protect, to save her. Many
times he saved her from the brink of death, and all those times she failed to acknowledge her true feelings. How
long did it take to find out her heart was stolen by him, and still was. How long did it take to find out it was
he she loved. The king it was never the knight nor the friend. Deep in her heart she knew she loved him. Denial
was all it took. In her heart she knew she'd regret leaving that legendary place, in her heart she knew she
couldn't live without him. By leaving, she left a piece of herself behind hoping to find it once again, but
slowly that hope diminished. It was his embrace that scared her, she wouldn't have the death that was so long
awaited. He wouldn't let her die. Through all the time, darkness and space he traveled, to get there before his
beloved was away from his grasp, gone forever.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
He landed back on the balcony and quickly enfolded his wings into his back. As to make sure people
didn't see what he just did, what he was. Hitomi was still shaky from the near death experience. She missed
being held in Van's arms, his arms of security. It was he who made her survive, he who gave her the will to.
Survival was the key to the Great War. Yet they didn't know it was them who gave each other the will to survive.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
She could see the glowing pendant around his neck, the one she gave him before she left. The pendant
she gave him, so he wouldn't forget. He gave her a feather from his majestic wings. She cherished that feather
it was something she would never give up. It was her reminder to never forget her promise, to never forget Van
even when she was old.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They stood there starring in each other's eyes. The same auburn ones she's always seemed to find three
years ago The same eyes she'd blush over many times before. Those emerald eyes piercing his own once again, but
this time they were together. Those eyes he missed them, it never dawned on him that he'd miss her eyes until now,
having them stare into his very soul. Their eyes connected for what seemed like eternity. They were perfectly
comfortable being speechless, just being in each other's presence. That was al they wished for. To Once again see
each other, to once again see the one they loved more than anything in the universe. Their love never weakened.
It was true love.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As if on cue they both removed their gaze and blushed like mad. Their minds analyzing what to say, how
to start. There were so many things they wanted to say. Both didn't imagine that their reunion would be like this.
It was like they were strangers.
"Van?!" Hitomi asked, for it could be a dream note willing to come true.
"Yes Hitomi, it's me. Your not dreaming." Van replied. "For if this is a dream, I would never want to wake up."
"Van, I've missed you so much!" Hitomi exclaimed as she embraced him into a warm hug.
"I've missed you as well, Hitomi." Van said while reacting to her embrace.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They were together again. But soon their doubts took over. Van Kept reminding himself that Hitomi could
never be in love with him. He could feel the question waiting to escape from Hitomi and tear his heart to shreds.
For she could never be in love with the 'pig-headed' eight-teen year old king. It was the 'knight in shinning
armor', the knight of Austuria whom stole her heart. Or so he thought
Hitomi could already feel the pain of rejection. Van couldn't love her, she wasn't as elegant as any princess
in Gaea. She felt she didn't have the beauty and gracefulness that could surpass anyone of those princesses. She
couldn't win Van's heart. He probably had someone who stole his heart. She didn't know hoe true that was.... but it
wasn't just someone who stole his heart..... it was the savior of Gaea.... the girl from the Mystic Moon..... Hitomi
Kanzaki...... The only person that could ever steal his heart.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The day slowly descended in darkness. Hitomi and Van had a much needed conversation catching up on what
was happening in each others lives. Hitomi knew she should go home... that her family would worry... but she was
spending time with Van. For some reason having his presence seemed to fill the empty void, she had for so many
years. Her other half was with her again. Loving the feeling and wishing it would never go away.
As if it was the fairy tale of Cinderella, the clock struck 12:00 PM and once again the a pillar of bluish
shown upon them.
