A/N: For all I care A/N means authors note and no one has told me otherwise.Warning: I made this PG-13 for a reason. This chapter goes into some detail about kissing so if you don't like that kind of stuff sorry. I might write a chapter just for those kind of people later. If they want me to that is. Well with that out of the way, please, feel free to read on!
Chapter Two
"How long can you stay?"
"Ahem..." Someone said to get their attention.
Van looked up and Hitomi released her grip while backing away a few steps.
'Dang it!' Van thought as he became very angry at whomever interrupted something he had been waiting to do for over 3 years. He looked at the person with a scowl on his face. The face Van gave the young man made him take a few steps back. Being one of the younger advisors, he was very frightened of the King. Even though they were about the same age, the young advisor had a very high regard for the King.
The young advisor knew of a seeress from the Mystic Moon, who stood by and helped the young King through the "War of Fate", but had no clue about their relationship. He had no idea that his King had fallen in love with the green eyed seeress. He also had no idea whatsoever that the woman standing next to his King happened to be the seeress.
Seeing the young man, and knowing he hadn't a clue what was going on, Van calmed down, though he was still angry at being interrupted so rudely.
"What is it Jasoun?" Van asked in a forceful voice, which not only startled Jasoun, but Hitomi as well.
"Sorry Your Highness, I didn't mean to interrupt anything." The young man said as he bowed down low. "I'm very sorry, but I just got word that Queen Melerna will be arriving tomorrow."
"To retrieve her husband to be most likely." Van added.
"Yes. She said something along the lines of 'He can't hide from me forever.' I have an idea of what that means." Jasoun said , while raising himself and chuckling a bit.
"Well, she got him to promise that he'd marry her. Wouldn't you think that that would be enough?" Van asked.
They were acting more like friends now instead of king and subject.
"Yeah, you would think. She already tamed him to the point where he proposed, which I heard he only did once before. Not to mention, I heard he, of all people, was rejected." Jasoun said.
"I take it your talking about Allen." Hitomi said. They both looked at her and needed yes. "Well, have you ever thought that her heart had already belonged to another?" Hitomi asked, glancing at Van and then turning her gaze back at Jasoun.
"It's possible, I guess, Miss." Jasoun stopped and stared at her, thinking, 'Why is she so confident on this matter?'
"May I ask..." Van started to question as he looked at Hitomi, bring Jasoun out of his thoughts. "...Did this person that heart belonged to happn to be closer to her age and the one who brought her there in the first place?" Van asked, very hopeful now, completely forgetting about Jasoun.
"That, and you also forgot better looking. Not to mention the one she saved from a dragon." Hitomi said while blushing. And, to make sure he knew who she was talking about, she added part of their first encounter in sarcastically.
"Oh, really?!" Van said, then stopped to think for a second. "Oh, wait. No, you're right." Van said jokingly.
"Wow. You actually agreed with me!" Hitomi said as she placed her hand over her heart as if she were about to have a heart attack. "That's a first." she said, placing her hands on her hips. "What happened to the pig- headed boy king I used to know?" she asked sarcastically.
Van crossed his arms and said, "He's grown up. What happened to the little girl that fainted every five minutes?" he asked.
Hitomi let her hands drop to her sides and said, "She, too, grew up." They smiled at one another.
"Am I missing something?" Jasoun asked.
"Oh, sorry Jasoun. This is Hitomi Kanzaki, Seeress from the Mystic Moon, who saved my life, and the lives of our friends. Not to mention saving the whole world, many times." Van said, raising his arm to point her out, and to also encourage her to come closer to him. She did as he wanted. She moved forward and curtsied. He took her hand and moved her closer to him.
"The Seeress from the war? Hitomi? Isn't that who Sir Allen proposed to?" Jasoun asked questions he could not hold in.
"Don't take this too offensively Jasoun, but, NO, YOU THINK!" Van said just a little annoyed at his questions and just wanted Jasoun to leave so that he could finish what he started before Jasoun arrived.
"What I think Van meant to say is... Yes, I am the 'Seeress' who helped him and stayed by his side during the fight against Zaibach. And, yes, Allen did ask me to marry him, but I think going home to the 'Mystic Moon' was a little bit too harsh of a NO!" Hitomi explained as she stood by Van's side.
Van stared at her. "Okay, Jasoun, you got your answers. Now go!" 'Oh, her lips are so perfect. I just want to kiss them. Is that so wrong?'
"Oh, I understand. Before I go, may I ask a question? Um, do you... You know... Like our king?" Jasoun asked, understanding the way Van was staring at Hitomi. She turned bright red at this point.
"Who? You mean Van?" she asked, looking at Van. Van couldn't take it anymore and took this opportunity to grab her. His lips locked with hers in a mutually passionate, breathtaking kiss. Time stood still for both of them at that moment, the world slipping away. Hitomi once again wrapped her arms around Van's neck, his arms sliding around her waist.
"I'll take that as a yes." Jasoun said as he smiled and walked off, leaving the two still locked in each other's arms, still kissing.(Ok this is were it gets good. Or for those who don't like 'mushy stuff' you can stop reading or skip ahead. I'll let you know were it ends with a *~* sign you can't miss it!)
'Oh he's kiss is so sweet!' Hitomi thought to herself as she moaned into his mouth.
'She like's this? Oh, man she's good. Well it's now or never...' Van thought and with that he slid his tounge across her lips. She gasped and Van seized the opportunity, letting his tounge explore her mouth.
After a few minutes they pulled away trying to catch their breath.
"That was my first kiss. I'm glad that it was also my first with you." Van said, still breathing hard and holding Hitomi tight.
" I'm glad that I was given the honor to be the first to kiss and be kissed by you, Van. That was the most amazing thing! You're wonderful Van." Hitomi said in a hypnotic tone.
"You're wonderful too, Hitomi." Van said as he kissed Hitomi again. This time even deeper. They played tounge tag and Van couldn't help but move his hands around on Hitomi's back. This action sent chills down Hitomi's spine which made her moan and encouraged Van even more, making him bolder.( A bolder Van?! Scary huh?)
They broke their 2nd kiss once again for air. (Hey there's something called breathing! Van and Hitomi don't seem to understand that concept very well!)
*~*
Hitomi laid her head on his chest and Van laid his head on hers.
"Hitomi?"
"Huh?"
"I don't want to let you go again!"
"You don't have to Van."
"You mean, you're here... I mean, how long can you stay?"
"For as long as you wish, Van."
"I wish you would stay here, with me, forever."
"Then forever it is Van."
'Defineitely heaven! The perfect paradise!' Van thought as he looked down at the one he loved. "Hitomi?" He asked.
No response.
"Hitomi?!"
No response.
