I'm soooooooo sorry I didn't post this fanfic up sooner but I had lots of schoolwork and make-up tests. I'm sure many have been in my situation. Well, here's part three to my story and I hope you like it.
Oh, and before I forget, this story is called Amnesia, but pretty soon I'm going to call it something else. The story will go from Hitomi on Gaea with Amnesia, to something else that I won't say yet ^_~. Although Hitomi having amnesia is important to the story. I'm also not revealing anything about that ^_~.
Amnesia
By HitomiFanel (Those people at fanfiction.net changed my name man! It used to be Hitomi_Fanel)
The day had become seemingly dark as the sun hid itself behind the mountains that were behind Fanelia. Hitomi had run out of the castle, trying to find some way to make it Asturia, since she didn't know how to get there. She would have gone by foot, had she known.
No matter how many times she thought about it in her head, she still felt like she was leaving something important behind here and venturing into something she didn't really want to go through. As if she could sense that she was setting herself up for disappointment.
Either way, her mind was made up and she found a man who was riding to Asturia by carriage. He was very nice and he offered to take her for free. In no time at all, she would be back where she belonged, and when she got there, she would seek out a knight name Allen Schezar and make him explain things to her.
But the doubt still lingered...

Van was furious. There was just no other way of explaining it. Merle had lied to Hitomi, and out of jealousy! He had told her a year ago that he loved her, but not the way she wanted. His whole life she was just a little sister to him. But now because of her, Hitomi had fled Fanelia. He had gone after her, but to no avail. She was out of sight. He searched the Fanelian market but she was not there. Either that or she was hiding.
Van had gone back to the castle and demanded an explanation from Merle.
"Why the hell did you tell her you were my girlfriend?!" Van yelled angrily as he loomed over her. She was sitting on the bed in her room, cringing as he yelled.
"Because I love you!" Merle had yelled in defense. "I wanted her to think that we were together so she would stay away from you and I could try and win your heart!" Tears were now pouring down her face and she wiped them away angrily. She didn't want to seem weak and vulnerable right now. If she did, Van would have the advantage.
"You know I love you like a sister! You shouldn't have lied to her! She's here, confused, and you go and tell her things that aren't true!"
Merle stood up from the bed, finding some courage within herself. Only a handful of people were brave enough to stand up to Van, and she was one of them. No one in the royal court could do it, since he was king. "I'm sorry! Alright?! But I couldn't take it anymore! You loved Hitomi, even though you just met her and even now you love her, even though she chose to go back to the Mystic Moon! How are you even sure she loves you?!"
She had regretted the words the moment they came out of her mouth. She looked at him in apology and saw the hurt look on his face.
Van knew Merle was right. 'Hitomi came but doesn't even remember me. Maybe she came against her will. Now she has amnesia so she doesn't remember not wanting to come' Van thought in sadness.
Merle's face saddened along with Van's. "Van-sama...Gomen...Atashi--"
Van turned around. "Y-You're right. She probably came because she was forced to. Now she doesn't remember anything. So I'll look for her and let her go back to the Mystic Moon, if that's what she wants."
Van walked out of her room before Merle could protest...not that she would have. She doubled over and clutched herself tight as tears dripped from her face and fell onto the cold, cement floor.
"Gomen...Van-sama..."
^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~
It was morning by the time Hitomi and the man reached Fanelia. The sun shone brightly against the cool waves of the ocean as loud noises came from everywhere. Asturia, Hitomi noted, was larger than Fanelia, although she thought Fanelia was more beautiful and the people more friendly.
Hitomi walked through the main road, not sure of where to go. Everyone eyed her as she walked and Hitomi noticed that it was because of how she was dressed. A thought hit her. If she really was from Asturia, why did she dress differently from them?
"Hitomi!" a voice yelled from far away.
Hitomi, having heard that that was her name from Merle, turned around a saw a handsome young man in his early twenties running towards her. 'Maybe that's Allen Schezar' she thought when he reached her.
Allen pulled Hitomi into a friendly hug while Hitomi tensed up. "Are you Allen Schezar?" she asked.
Allen put her down softly, giving her a puzzled expression. "What do you mean? Of course I am. You already know me Hitomi."
Hitomi shook her head. "Gomennasai, I don't remember you. I just heard about you from Merle."
Allen's eyes widened. "Nani?!"
"Merle told me that I lived here in Asturia so I came." It was strange but even though Merle told her she was in love with this knight, Hitomi didn't feel anything but friendship for him. Could the cat-girl have been wrong?
Allen recovered from the shock and decided to take her back to the castle. There he would be free to explain a few things to her.
^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~
The castle was a huge place and Hitomi could tell that if she didn't stick by Allen, she would definitely get lost. Allen led her to a small room with a table and a few potted plants around in the corners of the room. It has a nice painting on the wall but other than that, it was bare.
Hitomi sat down at the table, and Allen sat across from her. He wasted no time either. He bluntly asked, "What's wrong Hitomi? What did Merle tell you?"
Hitomi clenched her hands together in her lap as she looked at them. "That I was a regular citizen here and that..." she paused and blushed. "I was in love with you."
Allen had had his head resting on his palm, but when she said that, his eyes widened in shock. "N-Nanda?! (this does mean "what", ne? I heard it translated as "what" but my dictionary doesn't have it as "What" The closest thing is "nandai" which is "difficult theme") But that's not true. You love Van."
Hitomi looked up at him. That was strange. Van had confessed that he loved her and she had gotten light and happy. Now Allen was saying something similar to that about her and Van. Was what Allen saying true? "How would you know?"
"Because you told me before you left for the Mystic Moon. Van loved you also. Only that neither of you told each other how the other felt before you left."
Hitomi didn't know what to say. She felt like those words were truer than the ones Merle had told her. But why would the cat-girl lie?
"What's wrong with you Hitomi? You said you didn't remember me. How could you not?"
Hitomi shook her head. "I don't remember anything. I don't know who I am, even though Merle told me, and I don't remember my past, and I don't remember anyone."
Allen smiled, determination shining in his eyes. "Well then, I'll tell you who you REALLY are."
"How can I believe you? Merle said things also but they turned out to be lies, according to what you say."
"I know, I know," Allen soothed. "But know that when people tell you things about your past, whether they tell the truth or not, if you feel it in your heart like that's the truth, then you will know." He smiled at her with kindness. "You always did have that gift to see things other people didn't."
Hitomi smiled back, although weakly, and Allen began to explain things to her. Everything he said seemed like a far away dream that she was trying to reach and she even closed her eyes to try and picture it happening in her head. Her heart told her that he was being truthful and she tried her best to remember everything clearly. Sometimes she WOULD see herself doing things he explained and she could actually call them memories because they were clear.
When he was done explaining, Hitomi felt more complete than when she had first arrived. She didn't feel completely whole, but she felt like she had found missing puzzle pieces to her soul. She smiled at Allen in gratitude. "Arigato, Allen-san. Now I know of all the events, although I don't remember them all."
"In time Hitomi. You'll remember in time. Just give it some time." He stood up from her chair. "Why don't you go rest? I'm sure you'll feel more refreshed, and maybe you'll even dream up a memory."
Hitomi nodded and Allen led her to a guest room.

Van had traveled all day and he brought along his most trusted soldier, Kamikaze. Kamikaze was a young man who served the royal family, as did his father and grandfather before him. He was a tall (6 feet), handsome 17 year-old, with thick brown hair that fell into his eyes and sparkling amethyst eyes. Many girls were in love with him but Kamikaze wasn't interested. All he wanted to do was his duty. He doubted that he would ever fall in love (^_~)
Finally, they arrived in Asturia and Van was taken directly to the castle. According to what Hitomi and Merle had told him, Hitomi should be here.
They stopped outside the palace doors and Van got out from his carriage and entered the palace. Kamikaze, meanwhile, went to take the horses to the stables so he could feed them.
As he entered, he heard a small sound that sounded like someone crying. Kamikaze pulled the horses with him as he searched for the sound. He peered over a pile of hay and saw a young girl crying. All he could see was that she had long, black hair that reached the floor and made pools of silk.
"Are you alright?" Kamikaze asked in his chivalrous voice. It was a man's duty not to let a young lady be sad like this. It was something he learned from his father.
The girl gasped lightly. She had her back to him but she stood up and turned around. Kamikaze saw that she was actually not as young as he thought. She looked around 16, her black hair reaching her knees, and she had soft blue, sapphire eyes. She was dressed funny, but Kamikaze decided it suited her. She was wearing a tight, thigh-length black dress, a white short sleeve shirt under, white pantyhose, and black, knee length tie up boots. "W-Who are you?" she asked as she wiped her tears.
"My name is Kamikaze, and I serve Van-sama. Who are you?"
"Jessica Loera desu."
Kamikaze proceeded to tie up the horses. "What are you doing here? Why were you crying?"
"I don't know what I'm doing here. One minute I'm in my house, and the next this bright, white light surrounded me and carried me away."
"White light?" Kamikaze questioned.
Jessica either didn't hear him, or she chose to ignore him. "I want to go home!" she cried before bursting into tears.
Kamikaze didn't know how to help her. She was lost, although how she got lost seemed a little strange. A light? Could it be the same one as...? He decided to take her to Van to make sure.
"Come on. I know someone who can help you."
Jessica followed him without asking questions.
^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~^_~
When Van asked for Allen, thinking, maybe even knowing that Hitomi was with him, the maid there directed him towards the room where Allen had been last. He was seated at the same table, looking pensive as he gazed out the large window.
"Allen," Van called softly as he stood under the doorframe.
Allen looked up at the sound of Van's voice. "Van, I'm glad you came. I should have known you would follow Hitomi here, seeing as how from what she said, she was in Fanelia."
"Where is she?" Van asked bluntly but softly.
"She's resting. I just told her the whole truth so don't worry. She knows almost everything. She evens says she remembers some things."
Van was relieved. He was glad he wouldn't have to do any explaining and that Hitomi wouldn't reject his explanations again. "Does she know about...?"
Allen knew what he was talking about. Fighting side by side with him gave him an advantage as to what Van wanted. He nodded. "Yes. She knows that what Merle said was a lie. She knows she's the one you love and I think I may have seen love for you in return. She feels it but she can't remember. You'll have to woo her again."
Van blushed but he tried to hide it by looking angry. "I don't do that sort of thing!" he yelled softly.
Allen chuckled. "Calm down. I know you don't. But that is how you almost lost her. You didn't show you cared when she was expecting it from you."
Van knew Allen was right. He hated it when he was right! If he had shown he cared before she left, she may never have left. They would be together right now and maybe he might be trying to propose at the moment.
Suddenly, Kamikaze walked through the door, followed by a girl with long black hair. She was shorter than him and dressed funny.
"Van-sama," Kamikaze said as he saluted. "I found this girl in the stables. From what she told me, I think she came the same way Hitomi-sama did two years ago."
Confusion shone on Van and Allen's faces. "You mean by the pillar?" Van questioned.
"Yes."
Allen and Van looked at the girl while she looked at Allen. She blushed.
"Do you have a pink necklace?" Van asked the girl.
The girl blinked and then nodded. She reached deep into her shirt and pulled out a large, pink heart-shaped necklace. There were some words engraved on it but some letters were dull and hard to read: T* *y he**t *ic*ea* I l**e yo*(Can anyone guess what the necklace says? If you can guess, than you'll know whom it was for and maybe you could make a theory as to what might have happened and such)
Van went over and fingered it delicately. It seemed a little old, but it couldn't have been older than Hitomi's by the look of the shine. Van looked up at the girl. "Where did you get this necklace?"
"My mom gave it to me. She said it used to belong to my dad."
Van began to think about possibilities. There was no doubt that this necklace was a piece of energist like Hitomi's, but how did this girl's dad get it? Could he have been from Gaea? Wait. Was this girl even from the Mystic Moon? Kamikaze said she could have come through a pillar of light just because she had the necklace but maybe she had always lived on Gaea. "Do you by any chance come from Earth?"
The girl nodded. That didn't make this easier. Back to question as to how her had had gotten it. Maybe she's here for a reason. Something is probably going to happen.
"The soldier said you could help me go home," the girl said.
Allen decided to speak this time. "Of course we can. But why don't you go and rest? You seemed a bit tired." He held out his hand and Jessica blushed, but she took it. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Jessica Loera."
Allen took her towards the guest quarters while Kamikaze frowned at their retreating forms. He ignored it though. He turned back to look at Van. "What shall we do about her Van-sama?"
Before Van had a chance to answer, explosions came from outside the palace. Van and Kamikaze ran outside to see what the commotion was. They stopped dead in their tracks and froze.
Oh no!
Zaibach guymelefs...
~**~
Weeeee~! I'm done with part 3! La la! Do you like it? I just want to say right now though that it's not Dornkirk or Folken who's controlling Zaibach again. If you want to know more about what's going on, please review and I'll tell you. The story is going to take a more interesting turn now. The story is still a big part on Hitomi's amnesia but it also has more conflicts from the other characters. What will happen now? If you want to know, please review!!!
