Chapter #4
At the end of the white light
Hitomi looked up. She was on her back in a meadow, the star's above her shown beautifully as the mystic moon hung in the sky. Hitomi reached over and felt her duffle bag, then she sat up and saw Dilandau at her feet.
"Dilandau!" She cried. Reaching over she felt his for head luckily he wasn't sick and didn't have a fever. She rolled him on his back. Her mouth hung open when she realized that almost all of his cuts were gone. The busied were completely gone, and only a few small cut's and scraps were on him. Dilandau's armor had been striped off by them (Van, Allen, and Gaddis) when they had beat him, so it only left him in his pale blue tank top and his black leather pants.
Hitomi reached out and brushed his hair out of his eye's. She for some reason had no fear of him now. Suddenly she felt so tired, she moved Dilandau's body the best she could over to a tree near by. Sitting crossed legged resting her back against the tree she rested Dilandau's head in her lap. Right before she went into a deep sleep she reached out and stroked his silver hair.
Dilandau sucked his breath in and held it. Her hand slowly gliding over his hair, if he died right now he would die a happy man. He had barley been concuss when she had come into his cell to help him, and had lost conciseness completely when they were transported from the Crusade to were ever they were now. But he had awoken to find himself being slowly lowered down onto her soft lap. Her breath was a slow deep one, she was in a deep sleep. He looked up into her face and just watched her for the longest time, memorizing her ever feature. To Dilandau she was more beautiful that a goddess when she slept. He wanted to touch the soft skin on her face to feel her hot breath. 'Why shouldn't I. I'm Dilandau Albatu leader of the Dragonslayer's I can do what ever I want.' He told himself mentally. He started to reach up but stopped. 'What if I wake her?' He thought. Slowly ever so slowly he reached up and touched her soft skin. It was warm and seemed to glow in the moon light. He touched her on the cheek and moved his hand and slid his hand thou her hair. He couldn't of been happier. Her hair was like satin, her skin was milky and soft. She was beautiful.
Hitomi was sleeping dreamlessly when she felt someone's hand touch her face and run there hand thou her hair. She grunted and opened her eye's.
"Dilandau?" Hitomi's voice was less than a whisper.
Jerking his hand back Dilandau sat up(rather fast) and claimed out of Hitomi's lap. He was about to stand up but his eye's locked with her emerald green ones. He was on his knee's about less than a foot away from her. Hitomi sat against the tree and looked at his beautiful red eye's. Dilandau wanted to say something but his voice caught in his thought. They each couldn't muster up the courage to say anything. They sat there in an odd silence.
There was a snap off to there left. A twig had snapped in two. Dilandau had shot up instinctively. He drew his hands up ready to fight. But instead of a man coming out into the clearing the shadow of a serpent head showed on the gowned.
"Dragon!" Dilandau yelled warning. He reached over and grabbed Hitomi by the arm and lifted her turned and begin to run.
"No Dilandau look!" Hitomi managed to get out.
Dilandau looked back and saw a small baby dragon. It's scales were a green brown that camiflashed it well. It had golden eyes and small horn's on it's head. It's leg's were only little less than a foot long and in all it was the size a medium sized dog. With a long tail that was about five feet long with two small blades near the end; one in front of the other.
"Oh it's so cute!" Hitomi said. Dilandau looked at her as if she was insane. (the people in Gaea don't think any kind of dragon is cute)
"It's a dragon it's not cute." He said.
"But it's just a baby." Hitomi responded using a cute baby voice thing. (you know the kind that females use when describing a baby or something just as adorable)
"Baby's grow up!" He yelled as Hitomi began to walk back towards the dragon. "Were do you think that your going? Get back here!" He yelled after her.
"Come here little guy." Hitomi had knelt down and held her arms out for the dragon to sniff. Slowly the little beast hobbled up on his little legs and reached it's head up stretching it's foot and a half long neck up to sniff Hitomi's hair.
Dilandau was staring at them both in a amazement. 'Now why do I like this girl again? She's trying to befriend a dragon for crying out loud!' He thought. Dilandau was snapped out of his thought's when she saw Hitomi walk over to her duffle bag that was still at the tree with the baby dragon at her heel's.
Dilandau walked back to the tree and leaned against it. Hitomi had took out some odd shaped thing's. She took out two small box's that were in a rectangle shape, and what looked like a thing brown bag of some sort. What ever the bag was made of it wasn't animal skin or cloth.
Hitomi looked up at Dilandau. "Do you want something to eat, I have a little food."
"Why are you being so kind to me." He said in a low voice.
"You probably deserve many thing's but what they did to you is wrong." Hitomi said.
Slowly Dilandau sat behind her.(away from the dragon) Hitomi took out some Tuna in a pouch (Authors note: God I love tuna in a pouch)and some manayse (how do you spell that?) along with another juice box. While she made sandwiches for both her and Dilandau she put some tuna on a small saucer for the dragon who sniffed at it for a while, but eventually began to eat.
Dilandau watched closely as she brought thing's out of her brown bag and had no idea on what they were. When Hitomi placed a sandwich in front of him he obviously knew what it was but had no idea about the small box. But watched Hitomi out of the corner of his eye. She took the straw out of it's wrapping and poked it in the silver circle thingy. He did the same. After figuring out how to drink from the god damned thing he realized that what ever was in the box was very good and drank the whole thing. (*he he* I like grape juice, what do you like?) Reaching in to the bag Hitomi pulled out her Swiss army knife and cut the top off of the third box that she had brought out. The dragon quickly drank this.
"What are we going to do now?" Hitomi said finally braking the silences.
"Were going to have to find out were we are first." He said, glancing at the dragon. "And we can't take that along!"
"Who say's?" Hitomi protested.
"Me"
"You don't own me."
"No but I'm stronger than you, so you'll do as I say!"
"You can't make me."
At this Dilandau was about to grab her arm, but quickly retreated when he was met by snarls, sharp little pointy claws, and snapping teeth. The little dragon had jumped onto Hitomi's lap and had sat down on her lap giving Dilandau death glares.
"Fine." Dilandau said acidly. "We'll take your new pet along!"
Dilandau sat on about five feet away from the tree and laid down to sleep. Hitomi was laying down too with the baby dragon laying right next to her spreading out it's wing's like a blanket for Hitomi.
Dilandau couldn't help but be envious. 'Stupid ass dragon.' He thought as he finally drifted off the sleep.
Authors note: Ok so what do you all think? I'm surprised this chap isn't a suspense one. Well people don't forget to read and review! = )
