Looking around, Evan grinned. They certainly had more possessions then they had thought, but most would not come with them. A computer, a sofa and some lamps would do them no good on Gaia. Besides the fact that the possessions looked poor, there was no electricity. And the couch was slightly smelly.

Walking down the hall, he knocked on the cute girl's door. She opened it an looked at him curiously. Her boyfriend walked up behind her, and gave Evan a sly look. Evan grinned, and put his arm around her waist and kissed her forehead.

Thanks for all the booze, babe. Seems me and Van are headed out, and you prolly won't see us ever again. With a grin he slid his hand off her waist, and pinched her ass. You better take care of her, she's definitely a keeper. If you don't I'll know and I will come back then!. See ya! He ran down the hall when she squealed, realizing he had pinched her.

Running through his door, Evan almost ran into Hitomi.

Ahhh, Miss Hitomi! Just said goodbye to the cutie down the hall. We need to leave before her boyfriend comes to give me his goodbyes. He grinned at her.

Hitomi smiled back and picked up her bag.

Oh hey, Van went to pick my mother up at the train station. She only had a few bags, but more then she could handle. He left before you got back earlier.

Good, good. Then we shall be on our way to meet them in the park then? He held out his arm for her to take.

Hitomi gave him a look of endearment and took his arm. Picking up all of their bags, they walked down the hall and out the front door towards the park.

Van smiled at his mother-in-law. She made him slightly uneasy, with her knowing eyes. Helping her with her three large bags, Van grinned. Hitomi had told him that her mom wasn't going to leave her beautiful kimono's behind, especially when she would be living in a court. Going up the stairs, they walked quickly towards the park

*

Van closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. He came home with his sword, and his bride. He carefully dropped the bags he held, put his knees into the soft dirt and ran his hands through the soft grass. The rains must have just gone through recently, and he felt the mud seep through his breeches, and he felt the drops of water on his fingers. Or maybe it had just been a particularly dewy night...

Eu faltei-o, Fanelia. He breathed deeply again. (I missed you, Fanelia)

Evan cast a sideways glance at his friend. What? What the hell did you just say?

Hitomi looked at Evan, then Van. Sighing she spoke. Van, não compreende que ainda. isto é estranha. Talvez crescerá nele, ou aprenderá. ... Matriz?
(Van, he doesn't understand it yet.. this is strange. Maybe it will grow on him, or he will learn. ... Mother?)

Hitomi's mother smiled at her.

I understand you perfectly dear. Perhaps...? She stood next to Evan, and put her hand on his head. Hitomi my dear, perhaps your stone could this?

Hitomi cocked her head to the side, and did as her mother said. Closing her eyes, she instead put one hand on his forehead, the other on his chest.

Evan, open your heart, and you will hear it. She pronunciated every syllable with perfection, to keep it clearly Japanese.

Evan licked his lips and closed his eyes. The area around Hitomi's hands soon glowed, but it wasn't from her. His body reacted from the task asked of it.

Grinning, Evan spoke. I think I have it.

Everyone smiled, and Van looked back towards the capital city of Fanelia. They were in the grasses beyond the entrance gate, and the King was now home.

OK so I feel that was short...but itsn't much longer than the others. No sense making you guys wait :D

Also, a note onthe language.. I was told the language Van spoke while on Earth was actually Portuguese, so i simply darted over to www.dictionary.com and made good use of the translator. If you know Portuguese, it might be slightly off of what i meant, as all translations would be :D I just felt putting that in there wasa fun little twist, but i didnt want it to hinder plot, so i made it show, and easily taken out. Hitomi's mom would understand casue of ~her~ mother, and why Hitomi can.. so I theorize :D (man running this through spell check sucked, i put it all in but realized my error when it got to that LOL)
*note, someone reviewed sayign it was a mix of japanese and poruguese. neat*

***btw! this isnt done yet!! :D***
