"It's that girl!" The woman whispered pulling the scissors back.
"Van, please don't die! I love you!" The voice broke down in sobs. The woman pulled the scissors back into her robe. "He is loved after all." the woman whispered as Van
collasped onto the ground.
Van opened his eyes slowly, feeling a trickle of cold sweat drip down from his brow. He was lying in a bed, in a room. "Van! You're awake!"
Van twisted his head sideways and saw Hitomi holding his shaking hand gently in hers. He tried to sit up.
"No Van! Don't try to sit up. Just rest." Hitomi whispered gently, rubbing her fingers repeatedly across his knuckles.
"Hitomi... " Van smiled weakly, his eyes showing gratitude. Hitomi gazed into his eyes and saw that the crazed look was gone.
"Van.." She thought, gazing at his strong face, as he settled down to sleep again, nestling contently into his pillow. "You're finally back. but what was wrong with you before? Why did you try to kill Allen?"
"He's so beautiful..." Hitomi thought fondly, studying his chieseled features. Those thick, dark eyebrows, long lashes, ruffled ebony hair, and soft, pouting lips.
Hitomi closed her eyes and took a deep breath through her nostrils. "The smell of the fields... Van's smell. That's it! That's the answer I've been searching for!" her mouth curved into a smile. "I love Van!" images of Van flashed through her head.
Suddenly, She felt soft, warm fingers link through hers. Her eyes flew open. Van was deep in the world of dreams, a brief smile forming on his lips.
Hitomi grinned. "How cute.." She thought. "He's muttering in his sleep."
"Hitomi... I.. love you.. more... than anything..." Van muttered out of the corner of his mouth. He nestled into his pillow, holding Hitomi's hand.
"Van.." Hitomi blushed gazing softly at him. She felt a burst of warmth she had never felt before.
She leaned forward and placed a whisper of a kiss on the corner of Van's mouth. She squeezed Van's hand tighter, as she leaned into his arms. She felt him embrace her softly.
"Hitomi.." Van sighed contently, tightening his arms around her. He was still dreaming.
"Van... I love you so much." Hitomi whispered fondly, nestling her face into his neck, her eyes closing as she drifted off to sleep.
There they lay there, two lovers, both in dreams, captured in total bliss.
-Van's dream-
Hitomi gently parted Van's ebony bangs from his forehead, kissing him softly. Van returned the kiss, smoothing his fingers through her hair.
"Hitomi... he muttered wrapping his arms tightly around her."
"Oh Van... I love you so much." Hitomi whispered nestling her cheek into his neck.
Van cradled her cheek softly, feeling the soft caress of her lips on his neck.
"I wish I could stay here with you forever, Hitomi."
Hitomi ran her fingers through his hair, murmuring contently. "forever... " Hitomi whispered in his ear.
"Hitomi... I.." Hitomi pulled back, looking into his eyes. "Yes?"
"I.." Van stuttered. "What's wrong with me?" He thought, gazing back into those emerald eyes. "Why can't I say it?"
"I... I-I.. lov-"
All of a sudden, with a flash of white, Hitomi was in his arms no more.
"Hitomi?" Van asked whirling around frantically.
Feathers drifted lightly down to the ground, contrasting against the blue azure sky, that matched his eyes.
Blond hair blew softly in the breeze. Allen held Hitomi tightly in his arms, his wings bringing them up slowly into the sky.
"Hitomi!" Van yelled desperately, staring up at the winged man. "Allen! Let her go!"
Allen shook his head, brilliant blond locks shaking in the wind. "You'll never get her back. She's mine, and always will be."
With that, Allen flew off, with Hitomi still in his arms.
"NO! I won't let you take her away from me! Not again! never!" Van screamed launching himself into the air. "Crack..." All Van felt was excruciating pain in his upper back.
"Hitomi.." Van yelled frantically, falling to the ground, feathers drifting all around him, as he watched Allen take the girl he loved away.
