The Scepter of the Dragons
Chapter 5: The Healing
By Coolchick1500
Hitomi put her arms around Van's neck, and she noted how much he'd changed. His muscles were bigger, and his chest more defined. His eyes looked brighter, and a deeper color red. His facial features hadn't changed much. His cheeks showed signs of stubble. His hair was as unruly as ever. "When you left two years ago, I thought I would never see you again" Van said.
"It was really hard for me to leave Gaea. I though about coming back so many times, but with track, and school, I could never figure out how to get back to you" Hitomi said.
"That doesn't matter, because now that you're back, I'm never letting you go" Van said.
Hitomi laid her head on Van's shoulder. Van closed his eyes, and took in the scent of her honey-colored hair. He took note that it was still very short. He also noted that she had grown a little. No major change. A few inches. She was still very skinny. "Merle and I are planning on leaving for Fanelia tomorrow. Are you coming along?" Van asked.
Why is he asking such a stupid question? Hitomi thought.
Van smiled while Hitomi blushed. Oops, I forgot he can hear my thoughts Hitomi thought.
Van smile grew. "Oh shut-up" Hitomi said.
"I didn't say anything" Van said.
Hitomi took her arms away from Van's chest and folded them across her chest.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what I did, but I'm sorry" Van said.
Van removed his arms from around her waist, and cupped her cheeks. "I just meant that because your family and friends were here, I didn't know if you were coming with me" Van reasoned.
Hitomi fought back a smile. Van suddenly planted a hard kiss on Hitomi's lips. She totally unexpected this, and almost lost her balance. Van grabbed her before she fell. Hitomi tried her best to keep her body rigid, but to no avail. Her knees started to buckled and Van felt it. Without ending the kiss, he picked Hitomi up and carried her to the bed. He laid her on the bed, and carefully got on top of her. Her wounded side was throbbing, but she ignored the pain. She didn't care about her side, or the throbbing pain. All she cared about in that moment, was being with Van. The lack of air caused them to end their first kiss. They were breathing hard. "How are we traveling to Fanelia?" Hitomi asked.
"Allen is being kind enough to let us borrow the Crusade and her crew" Van said.
Van saw sudden worry in Hitomi's emerald eyes. "What's wrong?" Van asked.
"I'm worried about my friends and family" Hitomi admitted. "Part of me wants to send them back as soon as possible, to keep them safe. The other part never wants to let them leave" Hitomi continued.
"It's your decision, I can't force you to go one way or another" Van said.
Hitomi smiled. That's one of the things she loved about Van. He didn't pressure her into any kind of decision. "I have to send them back. If nothing else to keep them safe from the dangers Gaea hides" Hitomi said.
She knew what dangers Gaea possessed. She had seen them first hand. She was determined not to allow her family and friends to see them. Van got off of Hitomi and sat at the edge of the bed. "Why don't I go get Yukari and Amano, and be off, since you won't allow me to stay with you today" Van said.
"You can have me all day tomorrow" Hitomi said.
"Good" Van said.
He got up, kissed Hitomi one last time before he left, and walked out of the room. About ten minutes later, Yukari and Amano walked into the room. "I hope we didn't disturb you two a while ago" Amano said.
Hitomi blushed. "You didn't" Hitomi said.
"I kinda think even if we had, you would tell us" Yukari said.
"Why do you say that?" Hitomi asked.
"Avoid from hurting our feelings" Yukari said.
"If you two were intruding, I would have told you to get out" Hitomi said.
"She's got a point" Amano said.
Hitomi yawned. It wasn't even noon, and she was exhausted. "Why don't we leave and you can get some sleep" Amano said.
"No, please stay" Hitomi pleaded.
She didn't want to be alone.
"You health comes first" Yukari said.
She and Amano left the room. She got out of bed, and walked over to the window. She coughed, and felt something run down the side of her mouth. She wiped it away, and looked at the fingers. Blood. It was blood. "How?" She asked.
She turned around to go see Millerna, but fell over half way to the door. Blood was dripping form her mouth, onto the floor. She wouldn't make it to Millerna in time.
Van! She screamed in her mind. It took several seconds for Van to reply.
What's wrong? Hitomi heard him ask.
I don't know. Blood is coming out of my mouth, and my side is hurting so badly Hitomi thought.
I'll be right there! Van screamed. His voice sounded confused and scared. Van ran up and bursted into Hitomi's room. He saw Hitomi laying on the floor, unconscious. He ran over to her. There was a small puddle of blood on the floor beneath her mouth. Van lifted Hitomi up, and carried her to the conference room.
"Where's Millerna?" Van asked.
"She should be in her room. Why?" Dani asked.
She was sitting at the table, playing with her laptop. "There's something wrong with Hitomi" Van said.
He ran up to Millerna's room. He opened the door, and ran into the room. "What is the meaning of this break-in?" Millerna demanded.
"Hitomi's bleeding from her mouth" Van said.
Van laid her down on Millerna's bed. "It means she's internally bleeding" Millerna said.
"Is there anything you can do?" Van asked.
"I'm afraid not" Millerna said.
Hitomi was having trouble breathing. She was taking short, rapid breaths.
"She'll die" Van said.
"I'm sorry. The only thing I can do is give her some medicine to calm her nerves" Millerna said.
Van took one of Hitomi's hands, and sat down next to her.
"Van, what's wrong with my daughter?" Hitomi father demanded, entering the room.
"Hitomi's bleeding internally. There's nothing Millerna can do. Hitomi's going to die" Van said.
"There has to be something that can save her!" Hitomi's mother screamed.
"There is" A voice said.
A bright light appeared in the room. Varie came out of the light. "Who are you?" Hitomi's father asked.
"It doesn't matter who she is. She's a Draconian. Which means she's dangerous" Hitomi's mother said.
"Enough!" Van's voice boomed. "If my mother can save Hitomi, what should it matter who or what she is" Van yelled.
"You're a Draconian?" Hitomi mother asked.
"Yes" Van replied.
"How did Hitomi get involved with a Draconian?" Hitomi's mother asked.
"I just asked myself how you daughter, who is very caring and understanding, can have parents with so much hatred" Van said.
Hitomi's parents walked out of the room. "Can you save Hitomi?" Van asked his mother.
"Yes. By healing her wound, the internal bleeding will stop" Varie said.
"How do we heal a wound that deep, so fast?" Van asked.
His mother smiled. "After everything you've seen, you mean to tell me you ask questions like that?" Varie asked.
Van smiled. "I can heal your lover's wound" Varie said.
Varie walked over to Hitomi, and placed both of her hands over Hitomi's wound. Within seconds Hitomi sat up, trying to catch her breath. She looked over and saw Van's mother.
"What happened?" Hitomi asked.
"Van will explain it to you. Everything is healed, and I do mean everything" Varie said.
She disappeared. Van came over to Hitomi and hugged her.
"Van, I have to breathe" Hitomi said, trying to squirm out of his grip.
"You had started to bleed internally and my mother saved you" Van said.
Hitomi got out of the bed and stretched. "Thank god" Hitomi said.
She and Van walked out of the room. Millerna just watched them leave. How rude. They leave without saying good-bye Millerna thought.
~Chapter 5 is out! I never expected to make it this far. I just wanna thank everyone who has supported me throughout the story so far. Like the last chapter, it was kinda dull. Sorry about that. The next chapter, which should be out by Saturday, has more action in it. And guess what the new enemies show themselves. About time, huh? The reason it's taking so long to get the chapters out now is because one of my friends read the chapter I have up now, and she said to try and make them more detailed and try to make them longer. That and I have major school projects due this week. And remember to please review. Even flames are accepted. Thanks for reading. CYA!~
~There was also a major spelling error with the Septor. Unfortunately, my computer thinks that this spelling is correct. But it isn't. The correct spelling is Scepter. From now on, you'll see this spelling for the word. Sorry for the spelling error.~
