A-chan: Itaiiiiiiiiiii!
Neways, hope you enjoy the next chappie!! JA Minna-san!!!
Hitomi sighed. She could feel Van's arm still gripping her waist in a small hug.
She smiled and opened her eyes slowly. The sunlight was bathing the tall lavendar
curtains making the room seem purple.
'The royal color I suppose.' Hitomi gave a small sigh again, 'I wonder what time
it is.'
Hitomi felt Van stirring and closed her eyes, pretending she was still asleep.
"Anno..." Van stretched, "I don't think I've ever slept that much, or that well." He
stared down at Hitomi's sleeping figure and gave a smile, sighing, "Hitomi-chan. Wake
up."
Hitomi gave a small yawn and turned onto her back, looking straight into Van's
eyes, "Ohayo Van-kun."
"Ohayo..." Van said, almost dreamily, "Did you sleep ok?"
"Great!" Hitomi smiled sitting up right, "I've never gotten such a peaceful night's
sleep in a long time."
"Good to hear." Van laid his head down on Hitomi's lap.
"Anno..." Hitomi blushed.
"Nani?"
"Uh... well." Hitomi squirmed trying to indicate she was a little uncomfortable
with Van's actions.
"Gomen nasai." Van sat up and moved to the edge of the bed, sitting with his
back to Hitomi, "I'm... I'm gonna get ready."
"H-hai."
Hitomi watched as Van slowly sulked his way into the bathroom. She felt bad for
rejecting him, but she knew that when someone is in a relationship, there's a time when
you just have to say no. She didn't want to rush being with Van. She had already tried to
rush with Allen when she had first came to Gaea, but Van was different, she wanted to be
with him forever.
Hitomi could hear something coming from the bathroom, so she walked over and
pressed her ear to the door. She could make out running water, and something else. She
leaned into the door more and tired to make out what else she could hear. Suddenly, the
door gave, and broke down, sending Hitomi onto the wet floor of the bathroom. She slid
into the wall on the other side.
"Hitomi?!" Van pulled a towel around his waist and turned off the shower.
"Anno..." Hitomi rubbed her butt, "Itai..."
"Hitomi, daijobu desu ka?" Van kneeled beside Hitomi.
Hitomi gave a small rub to her butt, "Daijobu. Really Van-kun." She blushed
slightly realizing how incredably near-naked Van was.
Van gave Hitomi an odd glare, "What were you doing anyways?"
"Anno..." Hitomi blushed even more, "I thought I heard something. A noise, or
something like you were hurt... I'm not too sure."
Van shook his head, "I'm alright. I was just taking a shower is all. You're hearing
things Hitomi-chan. Now go and wait in the bedroom. I'm almost finished, then you can
get ready ok?"
Hitomi gave a nod, "Hai."
Van sighed as Hitomi sat on the bed and he put the door back in place.
*
Hitomi gave a tired groan as she still waited for Van to finish, "How long does it
take for him to get ready anyways?"
Finally Van appeared out of the bathroom. He was so handsome. His hair looked
soft and silky, probably was. He wore a pair of tight black pants, a white button-up dress
shirt and a pair of black leather boots that were similiar to his usual boots.
"Woah..." Hitomi gapped at Van.
"Oi, Hitomi-chan!" Van waved his hand at Hitomi.
"H-hai?!" Hitomi snapped out of her trance.
"You can use the bathroom now." Van smiled, "Everything you need should
already be out. If you need anything I'll be here."
Hitomi blushed, "Anno..."
Van just shook his head and went to a large comfy chair near a window, opened a
book and began to read. Hitomi shrugged, and made her way into the bathroom.
The bathroom was nice. Not too expensive looking though. It was just the right
size, and not too decorative. It was nice to know that even rich and famous people still
perfered their bathrooms small and simple. At least in Fanelia.
Hitomi finished her shower and wrapped a warm towel around herself. She then
realized that she didn't have any clean clothes to change into. She opened the door
slowly, and looked at the chair for Van. She blinked a few times and giggled.
Hitomi slowly tip-toed over to Van's chair and kneeled beside him. She sighed
again, "Van looks twice as hunky when he's sleeping."
Van stirred, but Hitomi simply laid her head on the armrest. She knew that Van
ruled the entire kingdom on his own so, of course he'd get tired every once and awhile. It
was simply so cute to watch Van sleeping.
Hitomi's heart skipped a beat as she looked up to see Van's eyes opened and his
smile all looking apon her.
"What are you doing Hitomi-chan?" Van blinked his eyes slowly, "Do you need
anything?"
Hitomi froze, blushing into the many shades of red, "I... er... that is... I need a...
some..."
"Clothes?"
"H-h-hai!" Hitomi stood up, "If you could, that would be nice. Thanks!"
Hitomi ran to the bathroom and locked herself in, "Jeez... He must think I'm
weird now."
A small knock came at the door, "Oi, Hitomi-chan! I have your uniform all
washed. Do you want it?"
"Sure..." Hitomi opened the door slightly, "Thank you Van."
"No problem." Van smiled, "Besides, you look much cuter in your land's clothing
than Gaea's."
"Thank you Van." Hitomi blushed, "I'll be out soon."
Hitomi closed the door and hurriedly dressed. Her hair was still wet, so she
decided to tie it up into a ponytail. She checked her reflection a few times and smiled.
She knew that Van would be surprised to see her hair tied up.
As soon as Hitomi was about to go back into the room, she heard other voices
with Van.
"Van-sama, the time to choose your bride has come," one voice stated.
"You're already twenty sire, and the kingdom requires that a queen rule along
side you," another voice added.
"I know." Van sounded irratated, "I've already choosen."
"Who my Lord?" another voice asked impaitently, "WHO?!"
"Hitomi-san." Van sighed, "She's the only one I love."
"Sire!" the first voice boomed, "We need a princess, not some common woman."
"How can you call her common?" Van yelled, "She is Tsubasa no Kami. She
saved our country, our lives and gave us a future! As far as I'm concerned, she is a
princess! She comes from the Mystic Moon, why can't I marry her?"
"What would the kindom think my Lord?"
"I love my people." Van sighed, "But I love Hitomi. I love her more even than my
people. I would give up my title as king just to be with her."
"No Van!" Hitomi ran out of the bathroom and hugged Van, "Don't give up your
title for me."
Van was a bit surprised, but he hugged Hitomi back, "I love you that much
Hitomi. I would gladly, just to be with you."
The three men that had been talking with Van all nodded at each other.
"We can't stop you," one stated.
"You are the king," another smiled.
"And Kami-sama forgive us if we were to ruin your happiness Van-sama," the
last commented.
"Arigatou." Van nodded to the three and lifted Hitomi's chin, "So Hitomi?"
"Ask me Van..."
"Will you marry me and become my wife and queen of Fanelia?" Van smiled.
"Hai."
