Questions
The mud mixed with her blood, her heart slowed. Hitomi's senses failed her, she couldn't hear any thing, and everything became a blur. The last thing she remembered was Van, his worried eyes kept flashing in her mind.
*…*…*
Hitomi woke up to find herself lying in bed, she was so cold and sweat dampened her short hair. Her face was so pale, due to her massive blood lose. Nurses came in and out; a nurse who's nametag read Tara placed a tray with hospital food in front of her. Hitomi looked at the green Jell-O and spaghetti in front of her. She only felt nausea, she couldn't eat. How did she get there?
Her mother and father rushed in as they heard the news that their daughter had awakened. Hitomi smiled as she saw her parents ambush her with questions, on how she got the wound. She hadn't realized it but she was homesick, and did miss her family the time when she had been in Gaea. She couldn't answer the questions though; her family would never believe her.
He mind raced a million miles a second, Van had saved her by bringing her home. Or at least she thought so. Then Hitomi thought back to when she laid on the rubble of the fallen building, had Van really told her he loved her? Yet she had waited what felt like eternity to hear those words, but she wasn't able to say them back. What had come of Van? Had the worst happened? She began to panic, the worse could have happened; she had slipped into unconsciousness and the battle wasn't over yet.
Hitomi tried to position herself upon making herself more comfortable but ended up feeling a sharp pain in her ribs.
"Dear, you've broken two ribs and suffered a severe stab wound, please try to rest," her mother said as she grabbed hold of Hitomi's father and brother, dragging them out of the hospital room.
Her thoughts returned to Van, how long was she unconscious any ways? All these questions roamed her mind. All she wanted was that Van was okay.

All Van could do was pace back in forth in his chambers. The battle was over now that Selena found her way back, gaining power over Dilandau once again. The best scientists of Gaea were now working on separating Selena and Dilandau. That wasn't for Van to worry about anymore, now it was Hitomi that he worried about.
He remembered wishing to the gods that Hitomi would somehow be saved. Then the pillar of bluish light splashed down from the heavens enveloping Hitomi. All he could do was watch as a single tear fell from his eyes. Hitomi lifted away in the heat of the battle, but the troops were soon called off as he looked over and saw Selena leave the red guymelef visible weakened. All he could do at this point was pray that Hitomi was okay.
Van somehow knew that Hitomi was okay, but he couldn't believe until he saw her good and well again with his own two eyes. At that he heard a knocking at his chamber doors, opening it a nobleman came in. He had to go to another meeting with his counsel.
