~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Van had cleared everyone out of the room so he be alone with Hitomi when she woke. Hands clenching and unclenching as he thought of different ways to torture the man who threatened his happiness. Hitomi had been out for ten minutes leaving him time for true realization to hit.
Hitomi woke with a groan and sat staring at the same wall he was staring at.
"He..."
"I know. I felt him take her but, I couldn't wake up fast enough. It was too hard." She said, closing her eyes. She could feel his anger raising just by the deep breaths he was taking. She was so concentrated on them that she didn't notice him get up and walk across the room. The only thing that brought her to her senses was the sickening crack she heard moments after his departure.
She stood and slowly approached her fuming husband. He stood with his fist still held firmly against the wall. It scared her to see him like this. Not because she feared him but, she feared what he would put himself through.
"Van, Van please stop. Don't..."
"He took her Hitomi! He came in here and took her away just like she was nothing!" He yelled, ready to hit the wall again. She quickly grabbed his hands and held them tightly.
"Please don't do this now. I need you Van please, don't do this to yourself. You're scaring me." She said. He looked up at her then pulled her close.
"I'm sorry I..."
"Don't be sorry, I know how you feel. I know that if we're going to find Faith then we have to be strong. We won't find her if we sit here blaming ourselves. I know that now." She said.
"You're right." He said. The door cracked open and Merle, Millerna and Chid walked in.
"You aren't planning on doing this alone are you?" Millerna asked. Van and Hitomi looked over at them to see that they had a determined look.
"Let us help you. I care about Faith too and I want to help lord Van." Merle said, walking toward them.
"We are you're friends you know. We'll help you in anyway." Chid said.
"Thank you so much." Hitomi said, wiping a tear from her eye.

AN: Oh my, sorry this is so short but, I had a lot of stuff happen today that really needed my attention and there's three parties going at the same time on my road which is quite usual. I couldn't concentrate today. I wanted 2 post something though. I'll post a longer chapter tomorrow when I feel a little better and drunk people aren't banging on my door. (Brother's friends). Sorry again, really I am. Promise it'll be longer tomorrow. ^__^
