What was that!
It came from over ther...
" AAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A Dark figure marched around the figure and floated off into the winds of the pitch black forest.
Hitomi gasped. She had just seen something horrible in a premonition.
" What's wrong Hitomi?" Van asked
" Um nothing..I just..never mind"
" O..kay"
Hitomi shook her head. What was that vision all about? Who was that wierd thing? Her suspicions
had been right. She had come back to Gaia for a reason. A new threat. A new adventure.

The next day approached swiftly and before Van knew it, Merle was back.
" YOHOO! I'M BACK!!" She screamed.
Merle ran towards Van and hugged him tight. Merle and her newly wed had come back from their
honeymoon. Hitomi just entered the hallway and Merle flung her arms around her aswell.
" Your back Hitomi! Oh this has been awhile since I last saw you!"
Hitomi smiled weakly trying to breath.
" Here's my husband, Marcus. Marcus this is Hitomi and Van"
Marcus came out of the shadows. He was also a cat and looked very nervous. He had dark grey and
white fur and looked very grand although he did seem like the shy type.
" Hi!" he squeeked and shook hands with Hitomi and Van.
" Well gotta go! I've got some stuff to do so bye!"
Merle walked away with Marcus. Hand in Hand. They were such a cute couple. Van smiled and
whispered to Hitomi, saying,
" They're perfect for each other". She nodded. They were so cute.
" So what do you want to do Hitomi?" Van asked smiling.
" Well I don't know"
" There's a place that need help at the moment and as a knight I have to be there. Do you
want to come Hitomi?"
" Sure! you know I like helping!"
They walked out smiling, holding hands and feeling content. Maybe they were a pretty cute
couple too.

***********************************************************************************************
" Okay! We're here! This is Rainbow waterfall!"
Van pulled back a few bushes and Hitomi gasped. That was the most beautiful place she had ever
seen. It had a spectacular waterfall in the center that was sparkling with bright colours in
the glistening light of the day. It had a little town on the left and a big forest on the right.
The veiw was breath taking from up on the hill and Hitomi could see no problem in this area.
" It's something else isn't it?" Van muttered in awe.
Hitomi couldn't speak. It was so wonderful! So pretty. She had never seen so many trees just
blooming with different coloured blossoms before. Van grinned. He knew she liked it.
" Er.. Van, why are we here? It's perfect" Hitomi asked puzzled.
" Oh! right. The waterfall here hasn't been working it's medical powers lately. You
see Rainbow Waterfall is famous for it's healing waters. Lately strange things have been
happening in Gaia and people have gone missing. Things have gone wrong. People all over Gaia
come to get healed here and imagine when the water didn't work and just became normal water.
People were angry because if no medicines worked they came here as a last resort and when it
didn't work, lost ones...passed away. The waterfall even with it's power, can't raise the dead"
Van bowed his head. The fear he had, had been true. Hitomi didn't come back because of all the
love, she had been needed ,so she came. How about if she was no longer needed? Would she leave
him in heartache? Would they have to be seperated all over again? Van shook his head. He
shouldn't think negative thoughts anyway. He smiled again and led Hitomi down the path. Van
tripped and Hitomi laughed. Thoroughly amused by his clumsiness. Well people couldn't always
change! Van was still determined AND clumsy. She helped him up and grinned untill he fell over
again, this time she fell with him and they both cried with laughter.
When they finally got down they had both fallen down at least three times each and had laughed
at every fall.
" Sir Van! We are so glad to meet you!" some villagers cried.
There seemed to be about five of them, all beaming with praise. It seemed like they were
desperate for them to come. Hitomi smiled brightly and the leader exclaimed
" And who might the little lady be?"
" She is my..er..assistant Hitomi"
" Hello Hitomi " they chorused. The way they did that was a bit spooky. When they started to
show them the way to the waterfall Hitomi teased Van by saying
" Assistant? I'm your assistant am I now Lord Van?"
" I didn't know what else to say!" She just laughed at him, grinning.
***********************************************************************************************
***********************************************************************************************
" So Lord Van, will you help us?"
" It is my duty Codagon. Of course I will" Van replied.
" And will you too my lady?" Codagon asked beaming at Hitomi.
" Er.. Yeah, sure! I mean.. Of course!"
Hitomi blushed. She was not used to this at all!
" Well that would be even better! I will see you a bit later!"
Then Codagon left them with the others.
" Codagon wants you two to help him sort out the mystery of Sonte missing and the waterfall"
Penant, Codagon's Deputy announced.
" Van, I'll go see about this missing Sonte while you see about the waterfall" Hitomi suggested.
Van didn't know. It could be dangerous and he CERTAINLY didn't want anything bad to happen to
Hitomi.
" Are you sure Hitomi? " he asked concerned. She nodded and soon they were off.
***********************************************************************************************
***********************************************************************************************
" Omary? Omary!!"
Oh no! She couldn't find her helper Omary. An uneasiness took over Hitomi. She no longer felt
safe and started to panic. She marched on awhile trying to keep cool.
Suddenly a very strange light blinded her eyes and a voice spoke three words, which were,
" Hitomi, you're back".
A figure came out of the light. Hitomi screamed. She had now just fainted.
