This story is in the Point of view of Van and Hitomi. This is a V/H but not at first it's an A/H (which I think is a horrible idea) but it works for this story.
I'm having problem remember chapter numbers so don't worry and don't worry about my spelling as it will never get any better.
True Destiny
Chapter 15
**Hitomi**
1.1 'I wonder if Merle has unfroze yet'
1.1.1 Van and me tried to be quiet as we headed to Folken's lab, but it was hard due to our behaviour. As we walked down the stairs I realised how much I truly loved Van, as I now saw his inner child something no one would ever see, but the only thing was that he seemed to be more childish then me. On our way we had ran in to Dryden, Millennia and Gaddes and we had the small problem of laughing every time they said Merle's name, but when it was Gaddes, Van had tried to play matchmaker again.
"Your evil, do you think your matchmaking plan will work?"
"Most likely not" as we drew closer to the lab of the one armed man
'Oh dear god wot a moron'
We almost ran in to Allen but luckily Van saw him first and pulled me in to the library
"Close"
"Yeah I really don't want to run in to him today"
"I could freeze him"
"No we'll be mean to blonde later ok?"
"Fine" we walked back out the library and cautiously went to the lab.
The plan was to freeze Folken without him knowing then dye his hair orange and wrap his cape around his legs; this was so when he moved he would fall flat on his face. As you can tell Van was the mastermind behind this plan, like all the others. Van opened the door enough so I could fit my hand through to freeze him
"Don't you dare?" Folken twisted around on his chair to face the door
"Do what dearest brother" Van opened the door fully and walked over to Folken with his I haven't done anything face on
"Freeze me and change my hair colour"
"Damn you Folken, for been so clever" I snapped back with
1.1.1.1 'Moron'
"Merle told him" Van lifted a small tuff of pink, burning it over a Bunsen burner
"I wouldn't do that brother"
"Why not"
"You'll burn your self"
"Will not"
'Stop this'
"Folken what is happened to us" as Folken started trying to explain I was drawn to some chemicals boiling away. I wasn't sure how or why but some how I started mixing other chemicals in to the mix
"Ouch"
The sound of a different voice brought me out of my trance, I looked over at Van to see him sucking his burnt finger
"Told you" Folken said in an I told you so kind of voice, then went back to telling me what was happening. I started selecting what I heard from Folken, like
"To Mature so power made you young in spirit" and the all famous
"It will last 24 hours"
That was when Van piped up with
"I think I have a meeting today I can't go like this"
"It doesn't matter Van, I tell the Alliance that you're not well ok?"
"Fine, Hitomi it's boring down here"
"Ok" with that I poured one more chemicals in to the mixture and followed Van out of the lab
"So what should we do"?
"Tie Merle and Gaddes to a tree so they can declare their undying love for one another"
"Your have thought about this a lot haven't you"
"What do you think I do during meeting? Think about war? Boring".
A loud boom echoed through the castle followed by something that felt like an earthquake
"What was that"?
"I don't know"
"Maybe it was those chemicals you were mixing" I could feel the colour drain from my face
"Oh dear let get out of here".
By lunchtime most of the castle staff had funny coloured hair, minus Gaddes who was now tied to a tree with Merle so they could talk, but I don't think they were that happy about being tied to a tree but we didn't care. We did have fun with Allen's hair, when I froze him we put his hair up in to Pig tails and gave him grey patches, then we head to my room to find something else to do. Van and me were both lying on my bed facing the ceiling
"What should we do now"?
"I don't know"
"I wonder how Folken is?"
"Well Hitomi when Folkie finds us we are no wait you are as good as dead"
"I was only making pretty colours". You know that saying if you speak of the devil the devil will appear, well it also works will Folken too amazingly
"Where is she?"
"Folken I can explain" Van had quickly put himself in between me and Folken
"Folken I'm really, really sorry" I said without smile, which was difficult as he was a funny sight, covered in black soot, his cape was burnt at the ends and his arm looked like charged metal and he was showing emotion which was the scary thing and his hair was covered in mold
"I'm really sorry, I'll repay you somehow"
"Van, she could have blown the castle up"
"She said she was very sorry Folkie" Folken looked at Van silences filled the room like the brothers were having some secret talk in which only they could hear.
"You dare ever marry her I kill your personally" with that Folken stormed out of the room slamming the door
"That was close, I've never seen or made Folkie that Mad"
"I know, Folkie?"
"Long story, so what do you want to do?" Van walked back out to the bed
"I don't know what do you want to do?"
"I want to leave this stupid castle"
"I know it's boring" that's when an idea hit both of us
"Let go in to town".
As we left my room and started out the castle we could hear Dryden, Millennia, Allen and Merle talking about our behaviour today
"Their most likely have fun Allen, they allowed fun once in a while"
"I don't care Dryden look what they did to my hair and to Folken's lab" we could hear Merle and Millennia laughing from inside the main hall. Van looked at me and whispered
"Do you think Allen will care about anything else other then his hair?"
"No" we both jumped an the sound of the new voice, turned to see a quite happy Gaddes looking at us as if we were children, wait we are!
"Get out of here you two before Allen finds you"
"So how is Merle?" asked Van with a goofy grin on his face
"Go now before I turn you in myself"
"Thanks Gaddes" I said while pulling Van to the main doors
"Go get drunk or something so you can blame your behaviour on the alcohol" I guess me and Van both like the idea of getting drunk as Van got an evil glint in his eyes
"God idea thanks Gaddy"
"OK" he replied scarily because of Van's smiling at him.
1.1.1.1.1 Next Day
Sunlight is the other painful thing about drinking way too much, other then the flashes of what you did and the pounding headache. I had tried to survey the room but Van's arm weren't going to let go. That was how I woken up in Van's arms, half naked and in his room. From what I could see we had drunk about 10 bottles of wine, as the bottle where all across the floor and the room it's self was some what trashed
'If any one walks in, how can I explain this to them'
My head was pounding and I fell completely sick when I moved my head. But the weird thing was the fact I kept humming a tune I had never heard before.
"Ouch"
"Ssshh, so your head hurts to" I whispered
"Sunlight" with that he pulled the covers over his head to hide from the light. I pulled the over my head too then rolled over so I was facing him. I quickly placed a kiss on the end of his nose and watched it wrinkle up
"I hate that as much as this hangover"
"Oh thanks," we whispered
"We have got to stop sleeping like this or people are going to label you something"
"No they will not as you're the only man I let sleep in the same bed as me"
"Lucky me, I would suggest breakfast in bed but when I think of food my stomach flips" I moved closer to him so that I could rest my pounding head on Van's chest. When I did I felt his fingers make small circle on my lower back relaxing me. I don't know why but I did, I started placing gentle kiss on Van's neck making him gently moan. After about 5 minutes of making out and some hand roaming it was Van who pulled away
"I'm sorry, can't do this, sorry" with that he pushed me off and rolled out of the bed, claming his pants and shirt while disappearing in to his bathroom. I was sure Van had wanted this, as when I started kissing him I felt so much want and need
'Damn his not getting out of this'
I climb out of the bed losing it warmth and got dress
"Van, what's wrong?" I watched the door leading to Van's bathroom slowly open and Van now fully dressed minus the grovels walk out
"What's wrong? You know I felt what you did, so why did you pull away?"
"Hitomi I love you"
"I know but why did you"
"It's because I love you" Van jumped in with
"I scary to death that I'm going to break my promise to you and get hurt. And I was because if we had made love, it would have meant our souls were join and because of your powers you would felt my physically pain, the same way we can feel each others emotion and I can't put you through that" that's when I realised that all he was doing was trying to protect me. I pulled him in to a hug letting my face hide in the folds of his red shirt
"I'm sorry to"
"For what" he whispered against my hair sending warm air across my neck causing me to shiver
"For pushing us further then we want"
"It's alright Angel, just caught in the moment" I pulled back and looked up in to his chocolaty eyes
"I'm also really sorry for"
"For what, oh deja vu"
"This" with that I tried to tickle Van's side, but he grabbed my hands quickly causing me to fall backwards pulling him down with me
"Ok Van once we get up here's our action plan 1) clean this room somewhat and 2) I'll turn every ones hair back to normal and you better see Dryden about the meeting you missed and then 3) meet me for lunch ok?"
"Ok mum" with that he kissed my nose like I always did to him
"You nose wrinkles up too," he said as he got up offering me a hand helping me up
"I'll see Dryden first I think"
"Van get back here" Van was gone by the time I had reached the door
"Men what is it about them and cleaning"
3 hours later
I had almost finishing un trashing Van's room. Every time I touched something like the deck of cards on the table, I would get small flashes of what we used them for and giggled at it.
"Finished" I started walking out the room when I noticed a piece of paper under Van's bed. As I bent down to get it a ball of pink fur tackled me to the floor
"Change my fur back now"
"Hi Merle"
"NOW"
"Ok, I was about to do it anyway". After changing merles hair back she told me in great detail what happened between her and Gaddes when we tie them to the tree
"Why are you still the dress you had on yesterday"
"Slept in Van's room haven't had time to change" giving her the outline
'Don't tell her about been drunk as she will hold you to it forever'
"Ok"
'God she believed you'.
She carried on talking about her and Gaddes all the way to my room
'Shut up shut up shut up'
She was on the 8th time round she had told me how her and Gaddes were dating etc, etc, etc. but all I could think about was the piece of paper
Why was I drawn to a piece of paper?'
Changing everyone's hair back took longer then I thought 2 hours longer I was starting to feel drained again. I went to Folken's lab to see what damage I had done
'What a mess'
Everything was burnt or wet, all the beakers and bottle of liquids smashed across the floor, table and chairs broken and burnt and fell apart when touched. I walked to the area which houses Folken's book, which were now all on the floor ruined and wet
'All folkie's books! Folkie?'
I thought back to when he stormed in to my room
'I could have killed him'
I felt guilt bubble up from inside me as I looked across the ruins of the lab
'What have I done? I could have killed him and the castle's staff'
My inner voice piped up with something
'Do your witchy thing called a spell'
"Repair spell" within my book of shadows was a spell to repair broken objects. I had read the spell that afternoon I was studying my book of shadows so it was etched on to my mind, as I spoke the word I felt my powers increase so much that my wings shot out sending blinding pain across my back. I swayed at the end of my the spell painfully opening my eyes to see Folken's lab all repaired.
"You didn't have to do that" I turned around slowly to see the shadow of Folken in the door was
"I wanted to" as I when I step forwards I felt myself fall, lucky for my Folken caught me
"Are you ok?"
"Just a bit dizzy casting that spell and all"
"You should have cast it, are you sure your ok?"
"Yeah" he step back, one of his arms still sitting on my shoulder, as I tried to move to fell again
"You're not going anywhere till you can walk or stand by your self" he helped me over to one of the newly repaired chairs
"I'll get you something to eat and drink, maybe it's low sugar levels"
"No food, I've got a hangover"
"That's why your dizzy, be back in a few minutes" with that he left me sitting on the chair
'What did he mean by that'
I gently laid my again pounding head against the surface top, the surface top wasn't even cold.
I didn't know how long I had been sitting there before I felt worry inside me
"Hitomi you ok?" fingers trailed between my wings
"Just dizzy" another voice filled the air "she cast some spell, that why her wings are out"
"You shouldn't have cast the spell angel"
"I know"
"She'll be fine in a few minutes. She's dizzy because of her hangover, she been fine after you and her both eat something"
"You know then"
"About you two getting drunk yes" all this sounded like someone had put cotton wool in both my ears, my vision became fuzzy and fuzzier until. I was standing in a field covered in feathers
"Hello Hitomi" I turned to see the angelic face of Isobel sitting under a tree. Which I was just out of the trees shadows
"Isobel?"
"Hitomi"
"Why do I feel like this?"
"Because your powers increased to fast for you body o handle as little Folken said you'll be find after a while and god eat something"
'Little Folken what planet has she been on'
"Thank Isobel"
"It's ok, very pretty ring?" Before I could say anything light poured in to my eyes as I awoke
"Hitomi are you ok?" I found my self on the floor with Van hovering over me
"Isobel says hi"
"Isobel, what? Oh right vision dream thing"
"Yeah"
"Where's Folken?"
"Talking to Dryden about how his lab was repaired and why you were out cold on the floor"
"Great"
"You really kept tripping over yourself a lot lately"
"I know two left feet and all" as Van helped me up a dizzy spell hit me making me fall in to his chest, I felt his arms wrap around me
"Hitomi, are you sure you alright?"
"I don't' feel to good" Van gently lifted me, so I was across his chest. My head was on his shoulder as he started to walk out the lab
"Your going back to your room till your better right and get over your hangover"
"Hmmh" I felt light-headed again everything sounded like an un-tuned radio. I was scared, as one I couldn't felt Van's emotions and two I felt incredible sick, everything in side my body felt like someone was pulling it.
Suddenly everything stopped I heard some thing like a whispered saying something a long the lines of your are now settled, I could feel Van's emotions again
"Van can you put me down"
"No way"
"I think my powers have settled" Van gently lowed my feet to the floor, but didn't let go until I playfully pushed him a way
"I know I can walk by myself now"
"But I enjoy carrying you are you going to take that away from me"
"Well lets see, yes I think I will"
"Meanie, anyway now that you think your better want to get something to eat"
"Ok, hay"
'My powers have completely settled wonder what I can do, no stop that Hitomi after yesterdays little thing'
Before we even set off to the dinning hall Van was called away to see the council of evil demons, which was the nickname he gave to them. As he left he gave me the I'm really sorry I'll make it up to you later look
"May be I should do some course work?"
For the last 8 months I had tried to blow off my course work, but what else could I do, as I had read most of the books in the library out of pure boredom and rearranged my room about 10 time, so all that was left was course work. I went back to my room and collected my bag and pulled my history book out finding the title of the work I was meant to have done
++The differences between medieval times and 2002++
'Luck or what'
How couldn't it be? I was on a planet which was nearly like the medieval, time minus the Gymelifs and the floating fortress and quite a few other things but other wise it was fine. As it was sunny I decided to do the work outside on the balcony. The air smelt like jasmine and roses when I opened the glass doors. I placed my schoolbooks and the book on Fanelia's history on the cast iron table
'Remember to leave out the dragons'
I told my seat and as I connected the pencil to the paper, what Isobel had said hit me
"What ring?"
I lifted both my hands in to view
"Oh my god" sitting there on my wedding finger was a silver band in a Celtic design. As I ran my other fingers across it a small vision hit me, it was of Van and me at an Altar. When it ended I just sat there looking at my hand
'I'm married to Van'
I was in shock,
'How could we do something that stupid?'
Then I realised the I was humming was the same one playing at the church that night that's why the tune was familiar
"I'm married" the word felt weird on my tongue.
'Is this what I want'
When I asked myself this my brain screamed NO, where my heart sounded like it was using a mega phone shouted YES. I was so in shock I never felt a new presents in my room
"Well, well, well what do we have here"
'Allen'
When I heard his voice, shot out of my trance and off the chair
"What do you want?" I turned 180 and faced him getting really to freeze him or throw him off the balcony if needs be
'Please powers work if I need you'
"To show you what Van's really like" he moved a section of his hair, which was covering his face to reveal his eye. Van must of been really angry at him to hit with all his strength as you couldn't see Allen's eyelashes or eye within it's blackness
"Well an eye for an eye"
"I see you got you little witches star back" my hand when up to my necklaces answering yes to his question
"So how did the little witch get kidnapped, by Dilandau or her own stupid fault"?
"Your little sister actually"
"Why you" before he could hit out at me another present entered the room and placed a sword under Allen's neck
"So merle was right! It was you who hit Hitomi" Gaddes voice floated out the room
"I think you better leave boss" Allen could see Gaddes from they current positions and gave him an evil which could of scary Dilly I mean Dilandau, they stood in silences for a few minutes before Allen tossed his hair and stormed out the room. Relief washed over me an I heard the door shut
"What was that about" Gaddes asked as he walked out of the room in to the sunlight
"He wanted to show me what Van did to him,"
"You ok?"
"Fine, thanks Gaddes for stopping him"
"It's fine, evil eye isn't it"
"Yeah, he must of really up set Van"
"I heard it was about you"
"Oh great, so how's Merle"
"She's fine, buying you a wedding dress I think"
"Great another pink dress"
"Before you ask Folken told me to watch you till Van got back form his Verbally killing for missing yesterdays meeting"
"More trouble I caused him"
"He doesn't mind, so what did you two get up to last night other that dye peoples hair different shades"
"Got very drunk which reminds me thanks for the stupid idea. Then married Van, had a drink contest and played strip poker that covers it I think"
"You and Van got"
"Yes please don't tell anyone I want to tell him my self"
"Secrets safe with me, what were you doing?"
"A paper on the differences between medieval times and the 21st century"
"What". I tried to explain what I was doing without any luck
"Ok it's a paper on the differences between the mystic moon and Geae"
"I understand now" I sat back down again to start writing my paper, as Gaddes sat in the balcony wall looking out in to the woods.
After 45 minutes I had mangered to write 3 pages and an amazing conclusion, but also doodled out of boredom flowers and snails across the page. Merle had kidnapped Gaddes and left me to my boring work as she called it about 10 minutes again. As I started to pack up two arms slide around my shoulders followed by a warm feeling
"Hello Van"
"Hi"
"So how was the meeting"?
"I was right they are demon's bent on world control"
"That good"
"Hmph" he gently kissed the nape of my neck before releasing my arms and moving his hands so he could massage my shoulders
"Better"
"Yes" all the writing I had done had cramped up my muscles
'Tell him about the ring'
1.1.2 "Van"
"Yeah"
"Want do you remember about last night"
"Not a lot" he started to massage my shoulder slightly harder, all the knots of stress slowly melted away
"Do you remember a church"?
"No why?" I raised my hand in to his line of view to show him the ring
"It's beautiful, it reminds my of a" Van hands slide of my shoulder, and silence filled the air
"Van" I twisted around on the chair to face him, his face didn't show anything it was like it was made from stone
"Van are you ok?" nothing
"Van, Van"
"I have to go"
I had expected Van to disappear in to the sunset the moment he said that he had to go, yet he didn't, all that happened was that his expression changed from stone to thought
"Van"
"But I can't leave can I?"
"What do you mean"?
He walked right up to the seat knelt down and kissed me, as we broke apart he answered my question
"Because if I leave this room I'll be walking out on my dream of being with you"
"Oh Van"
"I just wish that we weren't drunk at the time as I bet you look beautiful"
"Me too the drunk thing. Oh that's what that paper was"
"What paper?"
"This morning when I was hiding all the proof that shown we got incredible drunk I noticed a sheet of paper under your bed it must have been the"
"The wedding license" he said finishing my sentences
"You call that too" he shrugged off my comment.
"As I missed both breakfast and lunch and I bet you did too, so let go get some food"
'Why is food the only other think he thinks about'?
"Men"
"What"
"Nothing lets go"
We had head in to town to get food, as I couldn't face the castle staff again to day, Van had asked me to wait on the beach for him. As I looked out over the sea, the wind blow my hair across my face, I felt like a balloon caught in the wind been lifted from the ground. The sky and ocean were the same deep jewel blue, the soft plashing sound of the water against the rocks was a hypnotic sound like a heartbeat or the breathing of the planet yet it felt strangely familiar. I was immersed in the rhythm of the planet it seemed to be controlling me. As if the elements were one with me and under my control. I felt Geae's life pulse in me so strong, deep and vibrant yet I pain
1.2 'I wish I could help'
1.2.1 I felt word appear in my mind yet I had never heard or read them
"I call upon the forces of Geae's gods as I make this pledge" I could felt all the elements wrap around me like a blanket as if waiting for the rest of the pledge to this world
"A planet once at peace now torn by war, I swear upon my life I'll return you to peace by the powers of the moon and the Draconians I swear to you". I felt the element unwrap me from they tentacles and set me back on my feet
"Hitomi" a voice rung across the wind ripping all the elements away faster then they wanted, it felt like knifes across my skin yet they left no marks
"Hitomi" a hand moved in to my view I turn to face van
"Sorry, I spaced out I think"
"It's ok".
As we sat down on the sand the words I had spoke ran through my head
'I sweared my live to Geae'
1.2.2 I looked across the sea once again
"Are you sure you ok?"
"Fine" I could still feel the pulse of Geae's life within me
'How do I tell him'?
"What's wrong Hitomi? Your quiet most day but never around me or merle"
"It's nothing"
"You feel connect here don't you"
"Yes but how"
"I'm not that stupid, I know witch like areas with are peaceful and natural and that you can connect to the planet from those place, so I thought you would like it here"
"But how?"
"Isobel once told me"
1.3 'I would like it better if I hadn't swore my life to the planets peace'
"So when are you leaving an again Van?" his shock quickly filled me as I waited for an answer, I was still looking over at the ocean as I waited for an answer.
I felt Van's hand cup my chin and turn my face to face those liquid chocolate eyes
"I don't like it when I can't look in to those beautiful eyes when we talk" I could help but blush at the comment
"Or make you blush"
"Sorry got caught up again"
"I know it's beautiful but you more beautiful"
"Can you please stop avoiding the question"
"About 6"
I looked down at my watch
'3:30 that gives me 2 and a half hours to spend with my husband'
"So what do you want to do for the next 2 and a half hours"?
"Sit and eat with the most beautiful women on this planet"
"Oh god who are you? And what have you don't with the really Van Fanel?"
"Ha, ha very funny, it easy be romantic when I round you" he said pulling me in to his arms
"Hitomi when the war is over and every thing can we get married again?"
"Of course I would"
'If I'm still a live after the war'.
20 minutes later
I was wet and covered in sand and it was all Van's fault. As he was the one who had decide to take a walk down the beach and watch the sunset together. But of course the smart ass thought it would be funny to pick me up and throw me in to the water. Van was standing from the store laughing at the fact I was soak to the bone.
"I'm going to kill you Van"
"I'm sorry but I couldn't help it I think I'm still slightly childish"
I called on the force of water and made the waves smash in to some rock close to Van causing the spray to get him
"Got you I cried from my watery position I stumble on to the beach and sat down. Sand was sticking to the wettest of my clothes
"I hate sand"
"So do I" I looked over at Van who had now joined me
"Well if you hadn't go me wet"
"You wouldn't have got me wet, what time is it?" I looked down at my watch, which was starting to stream up
"Quarter to 5 I think"
"I think we should return to the castle soon and get out these wet clothes"
"Not yet" I kissed Van gently letting my fingers play with his wet hair. I felt his arms wrapped around my waist drawing closer to him
1.4 'I hate you oxygen'
We didn't pull far from each other as I could feel his breath against my skin
"I love you Angel"
"I love you too" the second time we kissed was full of passion and love, I felt Van's tongue run across my bottom lip asking for entrance to my mouth. Electric ran through my body as I granted it, Van gently pushed me back ward in to the sand, one of his hand was stroking length of my body as he gently kissed and nibbled the stop below my ear.
"Lord Van, Hitomi where are you?" Van gently pulled back after he heard the sound of Merle's voice
"I think someone is trying to tell us some thing?"
"Remind me to kill merle in later days"
"Ok".
If Merle had never cried our name when she did I believe we would have don't some both of use aren't ready for. Van helped me up off the sand wrapping his arm around me again and kissing my nose
"Do you two ever stop kissing" I turn to face a very happy merle getting her a secret look me and her had come up with that meant {like you wouldn't might}
"Question merle why are you so happy got in to the catnip again"
"God Hitomi I'm trying to be nice"
"Help me Van she been nice"
"Merle nice yeah right"
"I can be nice when I want to"
"Ha"
"Van I think she a dopple ganger"
"It would explain a few childhood things like that time she"
"You dare Lord Van"
"What don't you want Van telling me Merle"
"Nothing, I just wanted to be nice to my sister in law" both her hands flew up and covered her mouth as she had just blown the fact she knew about the about the webbing
"Gaddes told you"
"Kind of"
"Gaddes told her what"
"About the webbing"
"He knows how?"
I had tried to tell them how Gaddes knew about Van, and me but as soon as I finish telling them about what Allen had done all they wanted was blood
"I'll kill him"
"I've got him first"
"Van, Merle I'm fine see he didn't touch me"
"It doesn't matter Angel, he could hurt you"
"But I wasn't was I"
"I guess not"
"Can I still hurt him" said merle from her sit on the rocks sharping her nails"
"No Merle leave Allen alone and Van you need him in the battle after wards you can kill him ok?"
"Fine"
"Right I think we should go back to the castle "
"Ok" the Fanel sibling said in unison
'Well are they siblings? Who knows any more'
6:30pm
Van had left half an hour ago I could feel his emotions drifting slowing away from me. I had my balcony doors wide open as I could hear the sea travelling on the wind. I was sitting on the floor about three feet from the door, the words of my pledge rang through my eras every time a gust of wind slinked in to my room and over me.
"I have to stop this fighting". As I spoke what looked like a fire ember was blown in to my room, I didn't know what it was but is seemed to e calling my name, I slowly rose from my position and went over to pick it up. As I did a bright light shot of it as the light died down I could make the out line of a draconian women. Standing in the ember place was Isobel
"Hitomi it time to live up to your pledge"
"How"
"The powers of Atlantis need to be sealed and you are the key"
"I have to go to Zaibach don't I" all she did was nod sadly
"The gods have sent me to teleport you to Zaibach" I had to know what my future was
"Isobel, I have to know will I live through this"
"I don't know child. But what I do know is you found and married you soul mate Van releasing you full powers, worked out that Allen was linked to Celena who was linked to Dilandau who stabbed you and Allen was the man who would have killed you and proved you self to the gods by pledging you life to Geae"
"And now I have to save it"
"One thing Hitomi, be carefully"
"I will, Isobel?"
"Yes"
"If I don't make if can you keep a eye on Van"
"Of course I wouldn't want he joining the meadow lands at a young age and that goes double for you"
"I think I'm ready"
"I'll teleport you to where the fate machine thing is, the gods believe Dunkirk isn't there we hope! Good luck child" a white circle of light appeared around me as I felt the familiar white light surround me as I float upwards.
My feet landed on cold solid metal as the pillar of light disappear
"Zaibach" I could hardy see anything in front of me it was so dark I pray that someone wasn't in here watching me getting ready to struck, suddenly my pendent started to glow. I had hardly noticed my pentagram/pendent in the last few days but there was when Allen mentioned it. A light shot out of it and in to the machine, which harnessed the power of the Atlantis, the light my pendent had shot off melted through the glass and was causing some kind of chain reaction with in the sphere. I could feel so much power coming off the glass
"Well what do we have here the girl from the mystic moon" I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was
"I guess you know why I'm here"
"You can't win little girl"
'Dunkirk doesn't know anything about what he is doing'
1.4.1 "I'll die trying" I spun to face the old man who was hiding under machinery and hair
"And I'll take down Zaibach too"
"How do you plan to do that" I focused all my energy on the glass sphere crushing it.
Glass smashed and flew around me, as the power was release from the sphere. I turned to face the powers of Atlantis, it was a wall of pure green light. So much power was been forced off it. The energy was so great it tried to force me away, I tried sealing it from where I stood, but the wall bounced my powers off
'How do I seal this'?
"From within" the voice which spoke wasn't of my inner voice but of Isobel's
"For within what?" Suddenly I realised I had to seal the powers from within the pillar of pure energy
"I know what I have to do"
It's sheer power lifted me form the floor once I had fought my way in to the steam of light, I tried to seal it again, but nothing happened. The power was tearing at my body and clothes, I called upon my full power causing my wings to exposed from my back it felt blood slowly roll down my back.
Yet still the power didn't seal. Feather where been pulled from my wings and my whip wounds re appeared across my back as the magic that healed me was draining from my body. Blood poured down my legs and wings as my stab wounds slowly re opened and all the wounds I had received while on Geae as I floated in the air. As my blood fell to the floor I felt the powers give way slightly
"I'm sorry Van"
But I do own my characters

This story is in the Point of view of Van and Hitomi. This is a V/H but not at first it's an A/H (which I think is a horrible idea) but it works for this story.
I'm having problem remember chapter numbers so don't worry and don't worry about my spelling as it will never get any better.
True Destiny
Chapter 15
**Hitomi**
1.1 'I wonder if Merle has unfroze yet'
1.1.1 Van and me tried to be quiet as we headed to Folken's lab, but it was hard due to our behaviour. As we walked down the stairs I realised how much I truly loved Van, as I now saw his inner child something no one would ever see, but the only thing was that he seemed to be more childish then me. On our way we had ran in to Dryden, Millennia and Gaddes and we had the small problem of laughing every time they said Merle's name, but when it was Gaddes, Van had tried to play matchmaker again.
"Your evil, do you think your matchmaking plan will work?"
"Most likely not" as we drew closer to the lab of the one armed man
'Oh dear god wot a moron'
We almost ran in to Allen but luckily Van saw him first and pulled me in to the library
"Close"
"Yeah I really don't want to run in to him today"
"I could freeze him"
"No we'll be mean to blonde later ok?"
"Fine" we walked back out the library and cautiously went to the lab.
The plan was to freeze Folken without him knowing then dye his hair orange and wrap his cape around his legs; this was so when he moved he would fall flat on his face. As you can tell Van was the mastermind behind this plan, like all the others. Van opened the door enough so I could fit my hand through to freeze him
"Don't you dare?" Folken twisted around on his chair to face the door
"Do what dearest brother" Van opened the door fully and walked over to Folken with his I haven't done anything face on
"Freeze me and change my hair colour"
"Damn you Folken, for been so clever" I snapped back with
1.1.1.1 'Moron'
"Merle told him" Van lifted a small tuff of pink, burning it over a Bunsen burner
"I wouldn't do that brother"
"Why not"
"You'll burn your self"
"Will not"
'Stop this'
"Folken what is happened to us" as Folken started trying to explain I was drawn to some chemicals boiling away. I wasn't sure how or why but some how I started mixing other chemicals in to the mix
"Ouch"
The sound of a different voice brought me out of my trance, I looked over at Van to see him sucking his burnt finger
"Told you" Folken said in an I told you so kind of voice, then went back to telling me what was happening. I started selecting what I heard from Folken, like
"To Mature so power made you young in spirit" and the all famous
"It will last 24 hours"
That was when Van piped up with
"I think I have a meeting today I can't go like this"
"It doesn't matter Van, I tell the Alliance that you're not well ok?"
"Fine, Hitomi it's boring down here"
"Ok" with that I poured one more chemicals in to the mixture and followed Van out of the lab
"So what should we do"?
"Tie Merle and Gaddes to a tree so they can declare their undying love for one another"
"Your have thought about this a lot haven't you"
"What do you think I do during meeting? Think about war? Boring".
A loud boom echoed through the castle followed by something that felt like an earthquake
"What was that"?
"I don't know"
"Maybe it was those chemicals you were mixing" I could feel the colour drain from my face
"Oh dear let get out of here".
By lunchtime most of the castle staff had funny coloured hair, minus Gaddes who was now tied to a tree with Merle so they could talk, but I don't think they were that happy about being tied to a tree but we didn't care. We did have fun with Allen's hair, when I froze him we put his hair up in to Pig tails and gave him grey patches, then we head to my room to find something else to do. Van and me were both lying on my bed facing the ceiling
"What should we do now"?
"I don't know"
"I wonder how Folken is?"
"Well Hitomi when Folkie finds us we are no wait you are as good as dead"
"I was only making pretty colours". You know that saying if you speak of the devil the devil will appear, well it also works will Folken too amazingly
"Where is she?"
"Folken I can explain" Van had quickly put himself in between me and Folken
"Folken I'm really, really sorry" I said without smile, which was difficult as he was a funny sight, covered in black soot, his cape was burnt at the ends and his arm looked like charged metal and he was showing emotion which was the scary thing and his hair was covered in mold
"I'm really sorry, I'll repay you somehow"
"Van, she could have blown the castle up"
"She said she was very sorry Folkie" Folken looked at Van silences filled the room like the brothers were having some secret talk in which only they could hear.
"You dare ever marry her I kill your personally" with that Folken stormed out of the room slamming the door
"That was close, I've never seen or made Folkie that Mad"
"I know, Folkie?"
"Long story, so what do you want to do?" Van walked back out to the bed
"I don't know what do you want to do?"
"I want to leave this stupid castle"
"I know it's boring" that's when an idea hit both of us
"Let go in to town".
As we left my room and started out the castle we could hear Dryden, Millennia, Allen and Merle talking about our behaviour today
"Their most likely have fun Allen, they allowed fun once in a while"
"I don't care Dryden look what they did to my hair and to Folken's lab" we could hear Merle and Millennia laughing from inside the main hall. Van looked at me and whispered
"Do you think Allen will care about anything else other then his hair?"
"No" we both jumped an the sound of the new voice, turned to see a quite happy Gaddes looking at us as if we were children, wait we are!
"Get out of here you two before Allen finds you"
"So how is Merle?" asked Van with a goofy grin on his face
"Go now before I turn you in myself"
"Thanks Gaddes" I said while pulling Van to the main doors
"Go get drunk or something so you can blame your behaviour on the alcohol" I guess me and Van both like the idea of getting drunk as Van got an evil glint in his eyes
"God idea thanks Gaddy"
"OK" he replied scarily because of Van's smiling at him.
1.1.1.1.1 Next Day
Sunlight is the other painful thing about drinking way too much, other then the flashes of what you did and the pounding headache. I had tried to survey the room but Van's arm weren't going to let go. That was how I woken up in Van's arms, half naked and in his room. From what I could see we had drunk about 10 bottles of wine, as the bottle where all across the floor and the room it's self was some what trashed
'If any one walks in, how can I explain this to them'
My head was pounding and I fell completely sick when I moved my head. But the weird thing was the fact I kept humming a tune I had never heard before.
"Ouch"
"Ssshh, so your head hurts to" I whispered
"Sunlight" with that he pulled the covers over his head to hide from the light. I pulled the over my head too then rolled over so I was facing him. I quickly placed a kiss on the end of his nose and watched it wrinkle up
"I hate that as much as this hangover"
"Oh thanks," we whispered
"We have got to stop sleeping like this or people are going to label you something"
"No they will not as you're the only man I let sleep in the same bed as me"
"Lucky me, I would suggest breakfast in bed but when I think of food my stomach flips" I moved closer to him so that I could rest my pounding head on Van's chest. When I did I felt his fingers make small circle on my lower back relaxing me. I don't know why but I did, I started placing gentle kiss on Van's neck making him gently moan. After about 5 minutes of making out and some hand roaming it was Van who pulled away
"I'm sorry, can't do this, sorry" with that he pushed me off and rolled out of the bed, claming his pants and shirt while disappearing in to his bathroom. I was sure Van had wanted this, as when I started kissing him I felt so much want and need
'Damn his not getting out of this'
I climb out of the bed losing it warmth and got dress
"Van, what's wrong?" I watched the door leading to Van's bathroom slowly open and Van now fully dressed minus the grovels walk out
"What's wrong? You know I felt what you did, so why did you pull away?"
"Hitomi I love you"
"I know but why did you"
"It's because I love you" Van jumped in with
"I scary to death that I'm going to break my promise to you and get hurt. And I was because if we had made love, it would have meant our souls were join and because of your powers you would felt my physically pain, the same way we can feel each others emotion and I can't put you through that" that's when I realised that all he was doing was trying to protect me. I pulled him in to a hug letting my face hide in the folds of his red shirt
"I'm sorry to"
"For what" he whispered against my hair sending warm air across my neck causing me to shiver
"For pushing us further then we want"
"It's alright Angel, just caught in the moment" I pulled back and looked up in to his chocolaty eyes
"I'm also really sorry for"
"For what, oh deja vu"
"This" with that I tried to tickle Van's side, but he grabbed my hands quickly causing me to fall backwards pulling him down with me
"Ok Van once we get up here's our action plan 1) clean this room somewhat and 2) I'll turn every ones hair back to normal and you better see Dryden about the meeting you missed and then 3) meet me for lunch ok?"
"Ok mum" with that he kissed my nose like I always did to him
"You nose wrinkles up too," he said as he got up offering me a hand helping me up
"I'll see Dryden first I think"
"Van get back here" Van was gone by the time I had reached the door
"Men what is it about them and cleaning"
3 hours later
I had almost finishing un trashing Van's room. Every time I touched something like the deck of cards on the table, I would get small flashes of what we used them for and giggled at it.
"Finished" I started walking out the room when I noticed a piece of paper under Van's bed. As I bent down to get it a ball of pink fur tackled me to the floor
"Change my fur back now"
"Hi Merle"
"NOW"
"Ok, I was about to do it anyway". After changing merles hair back she told me in great detail what happened between her and Gaddes when we tie them to the tree
"Why are you still the dress you had on yesterday"
"Slept in Van's room haven't had time to change" giving her the outline
'Don't tell her about been drunk as she will hold you to it forever'
"Ok"
'God she believed you'.
She carried on talking about her and Gaddes all the way to my room
'Shut up shut up shut up'
She was on the 8th time round she had told me how her and Gaddes were dating etc, etc, etc. but all I could think about was the piece of paper
Why was I drawn to a piece of paper?'
Changing everyone's hair back took longer then I thought 2 hours longer I was starting to feel drained again. I went to Folken's lab to see what damage I had done
'What a mess'
Everything was burnt or wet, all the beakers and bottle of liquids smashed across the floor, table and chairs broken and burnt and fell apart when touched. I walked to the area which houses Folken's book, which were now all on the floor ruined and wet
'All folkie's books! Folkie?'
I thought back to when he stormed in to my room
'I could have killed him'
I felt guilt bubble up from inside me as I looked across the ruins of the lab
'What have I done? I could have killed him and the castle's staff'
My inner voice piped up with something
'Do your witchy thing called a spell'
"Repair spell" within my book of shadows was a spell to repair broken objects. I had read the spell that afternoon I was studying my book of shadows so it was etched on to my mind, as I spoke the word I felt my powers increase so much that my wings shot out sending blinding pain across my back. I swayed at the end of my the spell painfully opening my eyes to see Folken's lab all repaired.
"You didn't have to do that" I turned around slowly to see the shadow of Folken in the door was
"I wanted to" as I when I step forwards I felt myself fall, lucky for my Folken caught me
"Are you ok?"
"Just a bit dizzy casting that spell and all"
"You should have cast it, are you sure your ok?"
"Yeah" he step back, one of his arms still sitting on my shoulder, as I tried to move to fell again
"You're not going anywhere till you can walk or stand by your self" he helped me over to one of the newly repaired chairs
"I'll get you something to eat and drink, maybe it's low sugar levels"
"No food, I've got a hangover"
"That's why your dizzy, be back in a few minutes" with that he left me sitting on the chair
'What did he mean by that'
I gently laid my again pounding head against the surface top, the surface top wasn't even cold.
I didn't know how long I had been sitting there before I felt worry inside me
"Hitomi you ok?" fingers trailed between my wings
"Just dizzy" another voice filled the air "she cast some spell, that why her wings are out"
"You shouldn't have cast the spell angel"
"I know"
"She'll be fine in a few minutes. She's dizzy because of her hangover, she been fine after you and her both eat something"
"You know then"
"About you two getting drunk yes" all this sounded like someone had put cotton wool in both my ears, my vision became fuzzy and fuzzier until. I was standing in a field covered in feathers
"Hello Hitomi" I turned to see the angelic face of Isobel sitting under a tree. Which I was just out of the trees shadows
"Isobel?"
"Hitomi"
"Why do I feel like this?"
"Because your powers increased to fast for you body o handle as little Folken said you'll be find after a while and god eat something"
'Little Folken what planet has she been on'
"Thank Isobel"
"It's ok, very pretty ring?" Before I could say anything light poured in to my eyes as I awoke
"Hitomi are you ok?" I found my self on the floor with Van hovering over me
"Isobel says hi"
"Isobel, what? Oh right vision dream thing"
"Yeah"
"Where's Folken?"
"Talking to Dryden about how his lab was repaired and why you were out cold on the floor"
"Great"
"You really kept tripping over yourself a lot lately"
"I know two left feet and all" as Van helped me up a dizzy spell hit me making me fall in to his chest, I felt his arms wrap around me
"Hitomi, are you sure you alright?"
"I don't' feel to good" Van gently lifted me, so I was across his chest. My head was on his shoulder as he started to walk out the lab
"Your going back to your room till your better right and get over your hangover"
"Hmmh" I felt light-headed again everything sounded like an un-tuned radio. I was scared, as one I couldn't felt Van's emotions and two I felt incredible sick, everything in side my body felt like someone was pulling it.
Suddenly everything stopped I heard some thing like a whispered saying something a long the lines of your are now settled, I could feel Van's emotions again
"Van can you put me down"
"No way"
"I think my powers have settled" Van gently lowed my feet to the floor, but didn't let go until I playfully pushed him a way
"I know I can walk by myself now"
"But I enjoy carrying you are you going to take that away from me"
"Well lets see, yes I think I will"
"Meanie, anyway now that you think your better want to get something to eat"
"Ok, hay"
'My powers have completely settled wonder what I can do, no stop that Hitomi after yesterdays little thing'
Before we even set off to the dinning hall Van was called away to see the council of evil demons, which was the nickname he gave to them. As he left he gave me the I'm really sorry I'll make it up to you later look
"May be I should do some course work?"
For the last 8 months I had tried to blow off my course work, but what else could I do, as I had read most of the books in the library out of pure boredom and rearranged my room about 10 time, so all that was left was course work. I went back to my room and collected my bag and pulled my history book out finding the title of the work I was meant to have done
++The differences between medieval times and 2002++
'Luck or what'
How couldn't it be? I was on a planet which was nearly like the medieval, time minus the Gymelifs and the floating fortress and quite a few other things but other wise it was fine. As it was sunny I decided to do the work outside on the balcony. The air smelt like jasmine and roses when I opened the glass doors. I placed my schoolbooks and the book on Fanelia's history on the cast iron table
'Remember to leave out the dragons'
I told my seat and as I connected the pencil to the paper, what Isobel had said hit me
"What ring?"
I lifted both my hands in to view
"Oh my god" sitting there on my wedding finger was a silver band in a Celtic design. As I ran my other fingers across it a small vision hit me, it was of Van and me at an Altar. When it ended I just sat there looking at my hand
'I'm married to Van'
I was in shock,
'How could we do something that stupid?'
Then I realised the I was humming was the same one playing at the church that night that's why the tune was familiar
"I'm married" the word felt weird on my tongue.
'Is this what I want'
When I asked myself this my brain screamed NO, where my heart sounded like it was using a mega phone shouted YES. I was so in shock I never felt a new presents in my room
"Well, well, well what do we have here"
'Allen'
When I heard his voice, shot out of my trance and off the chair
"What do you want?" I turned 180 and faced him getting really to freeze him or throw him off the balcony if needs be
'Please powers work if I need you'
"To show you what Van's really like" he moved a section of his hair, which was covering his face to reveal his eye. Van must of been really angry at him to hit with all his strength as you couldn't see Allen's eyelashes or eye within it's blackness
"Well an eye for an eye"
"I see you got you little witches star back" my hand when up to my necklaces answering yes to his question
"So how did the little witch get kidnapped, by Dilandau or her own stupid fault"?
"Your little sister actually"
"Why you" before he could hit out at me another present entered the room and placed a sword under Allen's neck
"So merle was right! It was you who hit Hitomi" Gaddes voice floated out the room
"I think you better leave boss" Allen could see Gaddes from they current positions and gave him an evil which could of scary Dilly I mean Dilandau, they stood in silences for a few minutes before Allen tossed his hair and stormed out the room. Relief washed over me an I heard the door shut
"What was that about" Gaddes asked as he walked out of the room in to the sunlight
"He wanted to show me what Van did to him,"
"You ok?"
"Fine, thanks Gaddes for stopping him"
"It's fine, evil eye isn't it"
"Yeah, he must of really up set Van"
"I heard it was about you"
"Oh great, so how's Merle"
"She's fine, buying you a wedding dress I think"
"Great another pink dress"
"Before you ask Folken told me to watch you till Van got back form his Verbally killing for missing yesterdays meeting"
"More trouble I caused him"
"He doesn't mind, so what did you two get up to last night other that dye peoples hair different shades"
"Got very drunk which reminds me thanks for the stupid idea. Then married Van, had a drink contest and played strip poker that covers it I think"
"You and Van got"
"Yes please don't tell anyone I want to tell him my self"
"Secrets safe with me, what were you doing?"
"A paper on the differences between medieval times and the 21st century"
"What". I tried to explain what I was doing without any luck
"Ok it's a paper on the differences between the mystic moon and Geae"
"I understand now" I sat back down again to start writing my paper, as Gaddes sat in the balcony wall looking out in to the woods.
After 45 minutes I had mangered to write 3 pages and an amazing conclusion, but also doodled out of boredom flowers and snails across the page. Merle had kidnapped Gaddes and left me to my boring work as she called it about 10 minutes again. As I started to pack up two arms slide around my shoulders followed by a warm feeling
"Hello Van"
"Hi"
"So how was the meeting"?
"I was right they are demon's bent on world control"
"That good"
"Hmph" he gently kissed the nape of my neck before releasing my arms and moving his hands so he could massage my shoulders
"Better"
"Yes" all the writing I had done had cramped up my muscles
'Tell him about the ring'
1.1.2 "Van"
"Yeah"
"Want do you remember about last night"
"Not a lot" he started to massage my shoulder slightly harder, all the knots of stress slowly melted away
"Do you remember a church"?
"No why?" I raised my hand in to his line of view to show him the ring
"It's beautiful, it reminds my of a" Van hands slide of my shoulder, and silence filled the air
"Van" I twisted around on the chair to face him, his face didn't show anything it was like it was made from stone
"Van are you ok?" nothing
"Van, Van"
"I have to go"
I had expected Van to disappear in to the sunset the moment he said that he had to go, yet he didn't, all that happened was that his expression changed from stone to thought
"Van"
"But I can't leave can I?"
"What do you mean"?
He walked right up to the seat knelt down and kissed me, as we broke apart he answered my question
"Because if I leave this room I'll be walking out on my dream of being with you"
"Oh Van"
"I just wish that we weren't drunk at the time as I bet you look beautiful"
"Me too the drunk thing. Oh that's what that paper was"
"What paper?"
"This morning when I was hiding all the proof that shown we got incredible drunk I noticed a sheet of paper under your bed it must have been the"
"The wedding license" he said finishing my sentences
"You call that too" he shrugged off my comment.
"As I missed both breakfast and lunch and I bet you did too, so let go get some food"
'Why is food the only other think he thinks about'?
"Men"
"What"
"Nothing lets go"
We had head in to town to get food, as I couldn't face the castle staff again to day, Van had asked me to wait on the beach for him. As I looked out over the sea, the wind blow my hair across my face, I felt like a balloon caught in the wind been lifted from the ground. The sky and ocean were the same deep jewel blue, the soft plashing sound of the water against the rocks was a hypnotic sound like a heartbeat or the breathing of the planet yet it felt strangely familiar. I was immersed in the rhythm of the planet it seemed to be controlling me. As if the elements were one with me and under my control. I felt Geae's life pulse in me so strong, deep and vibrant yet I pain
1.2 'I wish I could help'
1.2.1 I felt word appear in my mind yet I had never heard or read them
"I call upon the forces of Geae's gods as I make this pledge" I could felt all the elements wrap around me like a blanket as if waiting for the rest of the pledge to this world
"A planet once at peace now torn by war, I swear upon my life I'll return you to peace by the powers of the moon and the Draconians I swear to you". I felt the element unwrap me from they tentacles and set me back on my feet
"Hitomi" a voice rung across the wind ripping all the elements away faster then they wanted, it felt like knifes across my skin yet they left no marks
"Hitomi" a hand moved in to my view I turn to face van
"Sorry, I spaced out I think"
"It's ok".
As we sat down on the sand the words I had spoke ran through my head
'I sweared my live to Geae'
1.2.2 I looked across the sea once again
"Are you sure you ok?"
"Fine" I could still feel the pulse of Geae's life within me
'How do I tell him'?
"What's wrong Hitomi? Your quiet most day but never around me or merle"
"It's nothing"
"You feel connect here don't you"
"Yes but how"
"I'm not that stupid, I know witch like areas with are peaceful and natural and that you can connect to the planet from those place, so I thought you would like it here"
"But how?"
"Isobel once told me"
1.3 'I would like it better if I hadn't swore my life to the planets peace'
"So when are you leaving an again Van?" his shock quickly filled me as I waited for an answer, I was still looking over at the ocean as I waited for an answer.
I felt Van's hand cup my chin and turn my face to face those liquid chocolate eyes
"I don't like it when I can't look in to those beautiful eyes when we talk" I could help but blush at the comment
"Or make you blush"
"Sorry got caught up again"
"I know it's beautiful but you more beautiful"
"Can you please stop avoiding the question"
"About 6"
I looked down at my watch
'3:30 that gives me 2 and a half hours to spend with my husband'
"So what do you want to do for the next 2 and a half hours"?
"Sit and eat with the most beautiful women on this planet"
"Oh god who are you? And what have you don't with the really Van Fanel?"
"Ha, ha very funny, it easy be romantic when I round you" he said pulling me in to his arms
"Hitomi when the war is over and every thing can we get married again?"
"Of course I would"
'If I'm still a live after the war'.
20 minutes later
I was wet and covered in sand and it was all Van's fault. As he was the one who had decide to take a walk down the beach and watch the sunset together. But of course the smart ass thought it would be funny to pick me up and throw me in to the water. Van was standing from the store laughing at the fact I was soak to the bone.
"I'm going to kill you Van"
"I'm sorry but I couldn't help it I think I'm still slightly childish"
I called on the force of water and made the waves smash in to some rock close to Van causing the spray to get him
"Got you I cried from my watery position I stumble on to the beach and sat down. Sand was sticking to the wettest of my clothes
"I hate sand"
"So do I" I looked over at Van who had now joined me
"Well if you hadn't go me wet"
"You wouldn't have got me wet, what time is it?" I looked down at my watch, which was starting to stream up
"Quarter to 5 I think"
"I think we should return to the castle soon and get out these wet clothes"
"Not yet" I kissed Van gently letting my fingers play with his wet hair. I felt his arms wrapped around my waist drawing closer to him
1.4 'I hate you oxygen'
We didn't pull far from each other as I could feel his breath against my skin
"I love you Angel"
"I love you too" the second time we kissed was full of passion and love, I felt Van's tongue run across my bottom lip asking for entrance to my mouth. Electric ran through my body as I granted it, Van gently pushed me back ward in to the sand, one of his hand was stroking length of my body as he gently kissed and nibbled the stop below my ear.
"Lord Van, Hitomi where are you?" Van gently pulled back after he heard the sound of Merle's voice
"I think someone is trying to tell us some thing?"
"Remind me to kill merle in later days"
"Ok".
If Merle had never cried our name when she did I believe we would have don't some both of use aren't ready for. Van helped me up off the sand wrapping his arm around me again and kissing my nose
"Do you two ever stop kissing" I turn to face a very happy merle getting her a secret look me and her had come up with that meant {like you wouldn't might}
"Question merle why are you so happy got in to the catnip again"
"God Hitomi I'm trying to be nice"
"Help me Van she been nice"
"Merle nice yeah right"
"I can be nice when I want to"
"Ha"
"Van I think she a dopple ganger"
"It would explain a few childhood things like that time she"
"You dare Lord Van"
"What don't you want Van telling me Merle"
"Nothing, I just wanted to be nice to my sister in law" both her hands flew up and covered her mouth as she had just blown the fact she knew about the about the webbing
"Gaddes told you"
"Kind of"
"Gaddes told her what"
"About the webbing"
"He knows how?"
I had tried to tell them how Gaddes knew about Van, and me but as soon as I finish telling them about what Allen had done all they wanted was blood
"I'll kill him"
"I've got him first"
"Van, Merle I'm fine see he didn't touch me"
"It doesn't matter Angel, he could hurt you"
"But I wasn't was I"
"I guess not"
"Can I still hurt him" said merle from her sit on the rocks sharping her nails"
"No Merle leave Allen alone and Van you need him in the battle after wards you can kill him ok?"
"Fine"
"Right I think we should go back to the castle "
"Ok" the Fanel sibling said in unison
'Well are they siblings? Who knows any more'
6:30pm
Van had left half an hour ago I could feel his emotions drifting slowing away from me. I had my balcony doors wide open as I could hear the sea travelling on the wind. I was sitting on the floor about three feet from the door, the words of my pledge rang through my eras every time a gust of wind slinked in to my room and over me.
"I have to stop this fighting". As I spoke what looked like a fire ember was blown in to my room, I didn't know what it was but is seemed to e calling my name, I slowly rose from my position and went over to pick it up. As I did a bright light shot of it as the light died down I could make the out line of a draconian women. Standing in the ember place was Isobel
"Hitomi it time to live up to your pledge"
"How"
"The powers of Atlantis need to be sealed and you are the key"
"I have to go to Zaibach don't I" all she did was nod sadly
"The gods have sent me to teleport you to Zaibach" I had to know what my future was
"Isobel, I have to know will I live through this"
"I don't know child. But what I do know is you found and married you soul mate Van releasing you full powers, worked out that Allen was linked to Celena who was linked to Dilandau who stabbed you and Allen was the man who would have killed you and proved you self to the gods by pledging you life to Geae"
"And now I have to save it"
"One thing Hitomi, be carefully"
"I will, Isobel?"
"Yes"
"If I don't make if can you keep a eye on Van"
"Of course I wouldn't want he joining the meadow lands at a young age and that goes double for you"
"I think I'm ready"
"I'll teleport you to where the fate machine thing is, the gods believe Dunkirk isn't there we hope! Good luck child" a white circle of light appeared around me as I felt the familiar white light surround me as I float upwards.
My feet landed on cold solid metal as the pillar of light disappear
"Zaibach" I could hardy see anything in front of me it was so dark I pray that someone wasn't in here watching me getting ready to struck, suddenly my pendent started to glow. I had hardly noticed my pentagram/pendent in the last few days but there was when Allen mentioned it. A light shot out of it and in to the machine, which harnessed the power of the Atlantis, the light my pendent had shot off melted through the glass and was causing some kind of chain reaction with in the sphere. I could feel so much power coming off the glass
"Well what do we have here the girl from the mystic moon" I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was
"I guess you know why I'm here"
"You can't win little girl"
'Dunkirk doesn't know anything about what he is doing'
1.4.1 "I'll die trying" I spun to face the old man who was hiding under machinery and hair
"And I'll take down Zaibach too"
"How do you plan to do that" I focused all my energy on the glass sphere crushing it.
Glass smashed and flew around me, as the power was release from the sphere. I turned to face the powers of Atlantis, it was a wall of pure green light. So much power was been forced off it. The energy was so great it tried to force me away, I tried sealing it from where I stood, but the wall bounced my powers off
'How do I seal this'?
"From within" the voice which spoke wasn't of my inner voice but of Isobel's
"For within what?" Suddenly I realised I had to seal the powers from within the pillar of pure energy
"I know what I have to do"
It's sheer power lifted me form the floor once I had fought my way in to the steam of light, I tried to seal it again, but nothing happened. The power was tearing at my body and clothes, I called upon my full power causing my wings to exposed from my back it felt blood slowly roll down my back.
Yet still the power didn't seal. Feather where been pulled from my wings and my whip wounds re appeared across my back as the magic that healed me was draining from my body. Blood poured down my legs and wings as my stab wounds slowly re opened and all the wounds I had received while on Geae as I floated in the air. As my blood fell to the floor I felt the powers give way slightly
"I'm sorry Van"
