Well this is the third chapter. Please R&R when you're done. Thankies!
The Brave Knight
Hitomi's eyes fluttered open and she sat up. To her surprise she was lying on Van's gigantic bed. After she fell asleep he must have brought her in. When thinking about this she blushed a little. She was snapped out of her dream when she heard many voices outside her door. "I wonder what's going on"? She quickly got out of bed and walked over to the dresser where her clothes were lying. She grabbed them and put them on. She was afraid someone would come in and see her so she hid behind another huge dresser which she guessed held Van's armor.
Once she was finished dressing Hitomi walked over to the giant doors and opened them. Outside were many maids going about and cleaning. One of the maids stopped in front of her and stared. Then she quickly walked off. "Hmm...I guess no one knows I'm here yet". She walked down the hallway and then she heard someone calling her name.
"Hitomi..Hitomi is that you. I can't believe it" Hitomi turned around and saw Merle running towards her. When she got to her she hugged her tightly and then pulled back. "Oh Merle it's so good to see you. Wow it looks like you've grown up" Merle blushed a little. "Well you've grown too. Come on let's go get breakfast, Van's waiting for us" she said pulling Hitomi to the breakfast room.
Hitomi had so many questions to ask, but she would save it for later when she would finally get to see Van alone. Merle finally let go of her hand when they got to a huge room with a large table in the center. Van was sitting on the very end talking with some of the maids that he had invited to eat with him. When he heard them come in he looked up and smiled. "Well hello Hitomi, Merle please come sit down".
Merle walked over and sat two seats next to Van. Hitomi walked over and sat down next to him. She smiled. Then the servants came in and brought a ton of food on the table. She was so hungry that she forgot about everything and started eating. Van laughed a little and started to eat as well.
When they were finally finished eating Van excused his maids and Merle. She knew that they needed to talk. They hadn't seen each other in 5 years. Hitomi was about to get up when Van said something. "Excuse me Hitomi would you like to go on a horse ride through the Fanailan forest with me"? Hitomi smiled at him. "That would be great". He got up and she followed.
**********Stables**********
Van stopped at the stables. "Well you can pick any horse you like. But I would suggest Windy". Hitomi looked to where Van was pointing. There stood the most beautiful white horse. Her mane and tail was almost a silver color and she looked fit for a princess. Hitomi walked over to her and Van followed. "Oh Van she's beautiful. I want to ride her". Van opened the stables and brought Windy over to Hitomi. She patted her head and the horse neighed. Hitomi couldn't help but laugh. "I really couldn't decide to name her Hitomi or Windy" he said.
Hitomi turned around and looked at him. "Why"? "Well you see if you look at her eyes you'll find that their green. So I was going to call her Hitomi. But when I finally rode her I found out that she could ride like the wind. So I asked Merle what I should name her. She suggested Windy so now that's her name". Hitomi smiled. "I think she's beautiful, where did you get her" she asked.
"Hold on I'll tell you when we get going". He walked over to a wall in her stable and grabbed a beautiful white blanket and saddle. When he was done putting it on Windy he went to get his horse. He walked over to a black stallion. "Hello Knight". He patted his head and took him out of the stables. He already had his saddle on so he walked over to Hitomi with him. "Well let's go. Um..do you now how to ride a horse" asked Van. "Oh.. yeah, I went to a ranch one time and I learned how to". Van mounted his horse and Hitomi did the same. "Well let's get going" said Van.
They were soon on the trail and talking. "So Hitomi how's everything in your life"? "Well not so good. It was going good when I started college. But then I kept thinking about you and I really couldn't consintrate on anything. I really mist you Van" she said blushing. Van blushed a little too. "Well how's your life going Van"? "Well Fanaila's almost rebuilt. But like you I really didn't want to do anything much. But that does remind me of something. Fanaila's grand ball is coming up and I was wondering if uh..you..would like to come with me" he said blushing? "Sure Van but where would I get a dress"? "Oh don't worry about that. You can have one made at the seamstrist when we get back".
There was a little bit of silence between them. All you could hear was the horse's trot. Then Hitomi finally spoke. "So you never told me how you got Windy" she asked? "Well it's actually really interesting. I was out riding Knight for a little bit. When I heard something back in the trees. So I stopped Knight and went to see what is was, and when I looked I found Windy eating grass in a meadow. When I first looked at her I thought she was very beautiful so I immediately wanted to buy her. So I walked up to the horse and there was someone standing behind her. When I asked her if she owned the horse she asked me if I would like to buy her. So of course I said yes. Then she asked me who I was and I told her Van Fanel.
Then she just handed me the reins and told me I could have her. I offered her the money for the horse but she wouldn't take it. So I just took her, but before I left she said thank you. I didn't ask her what because I knew she wouldn't tell me. And I've been raising her ever since".
"Well I know one thing, you raised her very well" she said. "Thank you. Oh I almost forgot to tell you. Allen is coming tomorrow". Hitomi smiled. "I can't wait to see him". Then they just stopped talking. They were just in joying each others company, glad that they had each other there with them. Hitomi took this time kinda to examine him. He still had his long messy hair. It was about the same length. And he still had the tan pants and red shirt. But there was something different about him. He had gotten more muscular and to Hitomi he had gotten VERY sexy.
He wasn't the scrony little teenager he once was. Van looked over at her. She was just staring at him. She gasped and turned around. Van blushed a little. "Well Hitomi were back". She looked around surprised that she had been talking with him so long that she didn't notice they had turned around and headed back to the castle.
Van slid off Knight and went to help Hitomi. Once she was down he called one of his servants to take the horses. "Make sure they get brushed and fed". The servant nodded and walked off. "Well I'll show you to your room.
Van walked down the huge hallway. Then he stopped and Hitomi bumped into him. "Oh sorry Van I didn't see you". "Well there's the seemstrist. All you have to do is walk down the hall and you're here. There almost always there so you can go anytime to get the measurements". Van started walking down the hall until he came to the two famialar doors. He opened them and told Hitomi to come in. He quickly lighted all of the candells so they could actually see. (Just to let you know, for those who are wondering. It IS night)
"But Van this is your room". But Van started saying something. "I know, but see if you go through that door that leads to the bathroom. You'll find a second pair of doors. If you go through those you'll find your room. "O thank you Van. I is it okay if I take a bath in the morning. I'm really tired"? "That's fine I'm going to take one now. In the morning I'm going to have to get up early so I can meet Allen".
"Thank you Van. Good night" then she gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Then she ran towards her room. Van touched his cheek and blushed. He wanted to tell her how much he loved her. But he knew that the perfect time would be to tell her at the ball. Which was in one week. He sighed and walked over to the doors and opened them. "Well better go take a bath".
********Morning********
Hitomi sat up in bed. She pushed the covers off and ran into the bathroom. She couldn't wait until she met Allen. "I knew I would get up late". She looked around and was astonished at what she saw. Last night she was so tired that she hadn't noticed the bathtub. It was huge, almost like a swimming pool. "Well Van sure does live in lucsury. She quickly took off her clothes and walked over to the edge. She couldn't resist what she was about to do. She got on top and jumped right into the middle. She came up laughing. She went under to see how deep it was. She guessed it was about eight feet down. She swam over a little and then she found out that she could stand. Then she quickly washed and jumped out to put her clothes on. When she was down she tried to dry her hair a little but she was just to nerve is.
Hitomi ran down the hallway. Not looking where she was going she ran into Van. "Oh Hitomi there you are. Allen's here, he's outside". But as soon as she heard him say where Allen was she was running down stairs with Van on her trail. She started down a huge staircase but she was going to fast and started to slip. She was about to fall and trip when Van put his arm around her waist and pulled her back. "Whoa Hitomi slow down your going to get yourself hurt". Hitomi looked up at him. "Thank you Van". She tried to pull away put Van held on to her. She looked into his eyes. He looked so caring. He started to lean forward to kiss her but someone cleared their voice and Hitomi stood straight up. It was Allen. "Well it's nice to see you too Hitomi" said Allen cheerfully.
She ran down to him and Van stood there a little frustrated. Allen new he was there. Van sighed, he knew Allen would be making wise cracks as soon as he could. Hitomi ran into Allen's arms. He hugged her tightly then pulling back. "Now that's more like it" he stopped staring at her. "Well it looks like you've grown up a lot". She blushed a little and lightly hit him on the shoulder.
It was true, with all her curves no man could resist her. "What do you think Van" said Allen almost laughing. Van turned red. But Allen spoke before Van could say anything. Van knew that was the beginning. But Allen would stop after a day or sow.
"Hitomi would you like to come and see the air cruiser" (However you spell it) said Allen. Hitomi nodded and ran off in the direction of the air cruiser. (Don't ask me how she knows where the cruiser is)
Hitomi, Van, and Allen walked out on to the grass where the cruiser was. Hitomi explored it while Van and Allen talked. They both stopped when they heard a scream come for inside the cruiser. They both ran inside and went down a hallway. There was a door open so they new she was in there. But little did they know that Hitomi was standing there with a large bucket of water. She found it and a lot of others in the room so she guessed if she used one it wouldn't hurt. Van and Allen rounded the corner and stopped right in front of the door. Hitomi through the ice cold water all over Van and Allen but mostly Van because he was in front. They both just stood there while Hitomi laughed her head off. She pushed past them and ran outside the cruiser. "Van she's your response ability go get her and bring her back. We've got to drown her in water just as she did us. Remember your doing this for all men power. Now move out sargent" said Allen in a army voice. Van laughed. "Sir yes sir"
he said running off after her.
Hitomi was hiding behind a tree breathing heavily. Van knew she was there. He could kinda since her. He slowly walked up behind the tree and sneaked around it. Then he jumped around the tree and grabbed her shoulders. "Looks I've got you know speedy" he was going to say more but Hitomi leaned forward and kissed him. Van was a little surprised and he pulled back. Her eyes were sparking. Then he leaned forward and kissed her even deeper. A wave of pleasure was sent down both their bodies. Hitomi put her hands around his neck. And he put his on her shoulders and slowly moved them down to her hips. She moved her arms to his back pressed them together even more. Van's thought he heard something up in the tree. He looked up and nearly fell down. Then he stepped back and laughed. "What's so funny". But Van continued to laugh. Then Hitomi looked up. There was Allen with two buckets of water. Then he poured them on Hitomi. Van laughed even harder. And Allen nearly fell from the tree.
Hitomi blew her wet bangs out of her face. "Now you're really going to get it". And they were off chasing each other. Not even thinking about who was watching them.
Authors note: Well it's not too romantic. But I promise the next one will be VERY romantic. Well please review and tell me what you thought about it.
