Summary:
Hitomi and Van meet (In a bedroom, but they meet! DON'T GET ANY IDEAS!), Tyler is introduced in the story as a fighter himself, like Jin. Zatera and Merle seem to be in their own little world and everybody sees it but them.

Wanda finds a potion master…what is she planning to do?

"I think I'm right." Jin said looking at Zatera who was loooking in his money pouch.
"Right at what?" Merle asked. She wanted to become friends with these guys and be on a good note with them. She was doing a pretty good job actually…
"Did Zat lose a bet to you again?" Tyler said dropping a package in front of Jin.
"Yes he did." Jin squealed. It was one of the few times she did it but she had a reason behind it too. Zat put the money on the table, two beuds*. Zatera just mumbled under his breath as Jin picked them up and put them into her own money pouch.
"What was the bet of?" Tyler said, noticing that Jin seemed to want to get it out.
"That those two are 'close'. He thought that they were friends and I thought they were more." Zatera left to go itno his room for a moment. Allen at the moment was outside looking around, leaving Merle with the other three.
"Now that is VERY true." She said. She looked at the orange that was in the bowl. Tyler picked it up and threw it at her.
"Want it?"
"Thanks!" She took off the outer layer and started biting into it. Zatera came back in and put his hand in the bowl, finding nothing in it.
"Hey! Where's my orange?" He turned to see Merle biting out of it, but just stopped.
"He gave it to me." She said pointing at Tyler who was starting to kneel down by Jin. Jin was lying down on a cot. Her back needed tended to.
"I'll believe that…" Zatera said glaring at Tyler who sent him a smirk.
"I barely did anything!" Tyler squeaked up his voice again, causing a small laugh from Jin.
"Maybe but you still did!" 'There fighting this way over an orange…' Merle thought. Jin turned her head to see Merle looking back and forth at Tyler to Zatera who were glaring at each other. She grinned slightly.
"Got a question?" Merle looked over at her to see who she meant and saw Jin staring at her. She looked down embarrassed. She looked up again with rosy cheeks.
"Why are they fighting over an orange?" Zatera and Tyler looked shocked for a moment, and looked into the air in front of them trying to figure the answer out themselves, Jin however started laughing herself off the cot. Tyler, however, caught her before she could fall.
"Th-that is v-very tr-true…" Jin said laughing. Tyler and Zatera just glared at her more.

"Van?" Hitomi asked. She started to lift herself off the bed, but shook her head. She took her right hand over to her left shoulder and pinched it. "Ow!" She said.
"Hitomi, why did you do that?" Van said sitting on the other side of the bed.
"I wanted to see if it was-was a dream…" She said while blushing. This caused Van to get a grin on his face.
"Why would you be dreaming?" He asked. Hitomi looked up at him, blush gone with a question in her eyes. She smiled shyly.
"I-I missed you Van, and I was barely gone-gone a we-week…" She whispered lightly. Van had to strain to hear it. Hitomi flung herself onto Van's chest and hugged him as he did her. Hitomi felt a wave of drowsiness over take her and make her eyelids heavy. She unlocked Van from the death hug she was giving him and leaned into his chest. Her eyes, getting very heavy as she slowly fell asleep in his arms. She then did something that she would probably not remember the next morning.
"I love you, Van." She whispered as her sleep claimed her. Van just looked at her shocked. 'She-she probably di-didn't me-mean th-that…' His mind stuttered. He picked her up gently and put her into the bed. He looked at her as she looked like a portrait in the castle. In his mind, she was by far better than a portrait no problem. Van was about to leave the room when he heard Hitomi gasp. He turned around, wondering what was wrong he saw her turning in her bed, non-stop. 'She must be having a vision or a nightmare…' He thought. He walked over to her, he took his boots off for no reason that he could see, when he entered her room. His socks moving silently over to her bed he put his arm around her shoulder, an attempt to wake her up lightly. Hitomi's eyes snapped open as she jumped out of the bed. She turned her head to look at Van.
"V-Van…this is going to sound SO stupid." She said, she had tears in her eyes that were welling up.
"You can tell me Hitomi." He said. He didn't know whether it was him she was going to say something stupid about or anybody.
"I'm so tired Van…"
"Then you should get some rest."
"But every time I try a nightmare or vision come…"
"So what are you implying?"
"Can you stay near…to wake me up?" She asked. She sent her eyes downcast.
"Sure." He said and Hitomi smiled shyly up to him and he returned it.
"You can sit on the other side of the bed since there isn't a chair for you to sit on." Hitomi said pointing to the other side while lowering her head into the pillow. Van just shrugged and sat down Hitomi immediately fell asleep. When she started tossing and turning again, Van was immediately by her. As if by a force unseen, he started to feel drowsy himself.

Jin grinned slightly after she put her hand down and smiled to herself.
~*~
Van blinked, urging his eyes to stay open. He lightly fell into the bed. His eyes snapped open, now fully awake. He was about to get out of the bed when Hitomi backed into him, searching for his warmth. Van grinned slightly, enjoying what was going on. Hitomi oblivious to everything.

Wanda looked at the man who she had called for.
"You are the best in the land, are you not?" She asked him looking angry.
"Aye, my lady, I am." He answered, ignoring her angered look.
"Good, that is what I want…" She mused, and started thing to herself.
"What potion would you like me to do, my lady?" The man asked.
"Shut up! I will tell you when I'm ready…" She said she looked at her pen intently. She spent the last two days searching for just the right type of potion to use. She handed him the piece of parchment.
"Sir, can you do any of these?" She asked him. The man took the piece of paper and looked at it.
"Aye, I can do all of them except the bottom one for there is none, aye." He said to her. She looked at him with approval.
"Can you tell me the best to use? The strongest? The one that won't break?"
"Aye! No potion shan't have no way to break. All can break! But I must ask, who are you using it on my lady? Of his age?"
"Fifteen rotations."
"Aye, I have a spell then that won't break unless his true one has been found!" Wanda looked interested.
"But what if it was, what if his love was found?"
"Than it would work for a course of twelve hours and stop."
"Wonderful…start on it as soon as possible do you understand? The guard shall lead you to your chambers!"
"Aye, thank you my lady." He said. When the men left Wanda pulled a small picture of a man and girl out of the dwarae.
"I shall avenge you father." She whispered.
