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 17

**Hitomi**

I opened my eyes to find my self looking upon the Fanelia, the last time I saw it, it was in burnt ruins, but now it was returned to it's former emerald green, trees and houses had all returned I could see the green floors and flags of the castle witch shore in the light of the setting sun, my feet fell on the glass as I walked towards the town, I let my heart lead my through the town. Questions ran through my mind like had he re married or fallen in love again, I was hoping that Van would know who I was the moment we saw one another. Yet I knew it was a long shot as now I was fuller in figure and had longer hair and I was in completely control of all my powers. Yet the connection between van and me was the most powerful. I whispered a spell, which changed my clothes to a pure white dress like the one I had wore the night we got drunk. The one he said he loved me in. when I arrived at the castle I was hoping that my dress wasn't covered in dirty. I used the teleportation spell to get me inside the castle as the number of soldiers where impossible to get pass.

I found my self standing in a room which smelt of Van it was intoxicating, the room was one of the largest I had even been in. it was painted green which had gold leaves on it, everything in the room match or complemented the colour scheme, over the fire place stood a large painting of a female angel. I quietly walked across the lust green carpet towards the door, which I carefully opened and closed, as I left not wanting to get an arrested. I followed my heart through the thousands of twisting hallways until I came to a large door; from behind it I could hear music, laughter and talking. I used my powers to open the door slightly so I could look inside

"You should go in you know" the voice in the hall made me jump slowly I spun a round to almost come face to face with

"Folken"

"Hello Hitomi" I throw my arms around his neck

"It's good to see you again, how did you know it was me?" I removed my arms as he spoke

"Lucky guess and only you would hug me"

"Folken has Van ever"

"Never his loved and will love only you"

"Thank you Folken, want to come in with me"

"No balls aren't my thin, so I'm heading down to my lab"

"Ok, see you later"

"Ok see you then".

His eyes where the same liquid chocolate which seduced me in the first place. Within minutes of entering the hall the connection re formed hitting me with a blast of emotion directly at my heart, reminding me what Van felt like. I watched as his eye met my and one word escaped his lips

"How?"

I slowly walked down the stairs trying no to trip over my large bare feet and it didn't help with all Van's confusion. I felt thousands of eyes land n me as my feet touched the cold marble floor. I looked in to the crowed of silent people and spotted an evil grin appearing on the face of one cat woman, merle knew exactly who I as and mouthed

"We've missed you".

I could hear whispers been exchanged as I walk through the crowd towards Van, who hadn't moved since my entrance. I stood within feet of him

"Hello Van" I felt more shock and confusion fill him as I spoke

"How?"

"You made a wish from the heart and so the gods granted it, but it told longer then normal"

His hand when up to his neck and wrapped around the pentagram

"You kept my pentagram" Van nodded before turning cold towards me

"How do I know your really who you say you are, because as you can see them are a lot of Hitomi look a likes around here"

"You can feel what I felt and how many look a likes would know who dilly was"

"That's easy it's Dilandau" I heard one of the look a likes reply

'Was I cloned when I was dead'?

"Shut up would you this s between me and Van" I saw a smuck appear on his face and the feeling of realization slightly fill him, yet unsure ness still dominated his heart.

"That me nothing to me as have had tricks like this played on my before" I could feel pain run through my like cold water he had been hurt to man times by to many fakes and by me, for leaving him with a broken heart

"I'm sorry that I hurt you as well van by leaving you, but if my word and feelings aren't enough prove I'll have to prove it some other way" I let my eye lids close and the imagine of wind ran in my brain. I could feel my bones moving slightly making room for my wings, as they released themselves through my back I heard the crowd gasp for air. I noticed Van's eyes had softened when mine re meet his. Feathers fell between us like the first time I saw his wings

2Angel" was the only word he whispered as he closed the space between us and wrapped his arms around me

"I can't believe it's you" I felt all the walls around his heart fall and warmth filled me as he held on to me

"Go I've missed you Van" I let my wings melt away covering us with feather

"Well look what the rats dragged in" I lifted my head from Van's chest to face the cat

"Hello fur ball"

"I see you couldn't kept away"

"Never" merle jumped in to my arms to hug me pulling me away from Van

"It's good to have you back Hitomi, but you could have washed before you came here"

"Watch it Merle I freeze you again," I could tell that Van was smiling at us ever thou had my back to him.

I felt a chain been placed around my neck and fingers trail down my back. My hands touched the pentagram and remember what it meant to the both of us

"Want the matching book," he whispered against my ear

"Sure", with that I kissed his nose and giggled at the results.

The whole group was together, me Van, Merle, Gaddes, millennia and Dryden. We were travelling through the wood behind the castle, Van hadn't let go of my hand since he had returned from getting the energis for Escaflowne, I looked and Van he had changed much only really in height and build, his hair was still in all direction and his eyes had stayed the same, his personally was slight different more powerful but still so kind. We where all catching up on what I had missed, I felt Van thumb trace over the wedding ring I still had on

"You still wear it," he whispered across my eye

"Couldn't take it off" I felt his finger tied slight.

We carried on deeper in to the woods, the light had disappeared almost completely yet the full moon lit the way just enough to see, I could no longer hear the music from the castle as it was been blocked by the tree. Everything on Geae was getting back to normal by the sounds of the stories I was been told, new loves and children on the way, everyone was happy.

We stopped at a lake in the middle was a small island, the way the moon light shore on to the water made the sleeping giant look like a ghostly imagine. I could feel my book slowly regain its life force. Around the back of Escaflowne was a shallow area of water as I looked down I could see that me and Van were stood on a high bed of sand, but a foot to the sides was about a 10 foot drop.

The ends of my dress started getting heavy as it soaked up the water. I watched as Van placed the energis back in to the gymelef's gem and heard the gently heartbeat sound it made. As the chest place moved down my book flew at me

"Hello book" the book gently bopped in mid air at me, begging to be opened once again, I took the pendent off and placed it in the lock, in a blinding white light my book of shadows life returned in full force. I heard the chest plate of Escaflowne rise as Van removed the energis, I could once again feel all the powers of the draconians run through my veins

"Hitomi are you ok?" I felt van's arm on my shoulder

"Fine", all the way back to the castle I held the book close to my chest, as we saw the castle no music played on the wind,

"I guess the balls finished". As we got closer to the castle I noticed 5 very old almost dead men watching us approach the castle

"Lord Van what did you think you were doing leaving the ball like that?"

'Clones have to be'

As I look at all the men I couldn't see a differences between them. One of the old men's eyes washed over mine a Van's locked hand; I could just feel dirty forming from his look then spoke up with

"Lord Van who is this wench"

'Bye bye'

I waved my right hand throwing him foot backwards in to the wall using my powers,

"I have a name you know"

"Still evil as ever I see" Van said as I cast the spell to change his hair colour.



As we walked through the castle the group got smaller and smaller till it was just me and Van, who was leading me toward the back of the castle. As I walked through the glass double doors I came across a garden full f white roses. I let my book of shadows drop to the floor, as Van spoke

"I knew that you loved white roses so had garden make full of them" I air smelt of white musk as I looked in to the garden it was just so unbelievable

"You never gave up on me returning did you"?

"Never" I felt his arms wrap around me from behind, all the roses glow whiter because of the moon, I tried to walk in to the garden by Van wasn't going to let go, but I didn't really care. We just stood they watching the fireflies circled the water which ran in the garden, making the whole place magical

"So do you like it" I twisted in his arms, to kiss him, I felt him draw my closer as we kissed my fingers tangled in his hair

"I love it Van"

"Remind me to do things like this for you all the time if that's my reward"

"That wasn't your reward, that was because I missed kissing you and been near you and touching you"

I stood in his arms hoping that this was some evil dream or trick done by the gods

"So what is reward then"

"For the rest of your life you will have to wake up next to me"

"Isn't that a punishment?"

"Why you" Van gently kissed me again stopping pushing him away

"I'm never going to win any fights with you again am I?"

"Never Angel"

Next Day

I woke up in the green room I was the other night I could see sunlight under the heavy curtains, Van's breath ran across my back as he held me, thought of what had happened in this room after the garden where fresh in my mind. We had proved our love to one another more then once. As I laid there I realized that this was my place in life as Van's wife and the queen of the Draconians and of Fanelia, with the powers of great witches behind me, a smile traced across my face.

I carefully got out the bed trying to not wake Van up, and I pulled on his dressing grown which was on the floor by the bed, the weigh of the grown almost pulled me over as I walked out on to the balcony through the curtains. I waited for my eyes I adjust to the sunlight before walking to the rail. The air was so fresh and clean it made my skin goose bump, I looked across the land and decide

"I'm home, I'm finally home".

/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/

As the angel stood upon the balcony of the king's chamber, she never noticed the two people watching her from the shadows of the trees

"They finally found one another"

"It's about time don't you say"

"The spell brought her back to him this time2

"You know that your powers are increasing, and to cast a spell like that must have used a lot of magical energy Folken"

"It did but it was worth it to see them together again, don't you say Isobel"

"Completely"
