Chapter 4
In the Same Room…
Oh well, Hitomi thought, at least this guy's tidy and clean. Van and Hitomi walked back to their room and made themselves at home. The room had two beds, each against the opposite wall; in other words, the room is technically separated into two. On one side, Hitomi started stuffing her properties into the drawers. At least the room's not too shabby, she thought. However, she needed the cabinet at Van's side of the room with the lock to secure her girl necessities.
"Ummm…Van?" Hitomi attracted his attention while looking at her feet.
"Yeah?"
"Can you ummm…I WANT YOUR CABINET!" She spat it out.
"Whoa…chill! It's all yours," Van offered.
"Thanks…?" Hitomi mumbled.
On Van's side of the room, things look plain enough. There are just some things that could make a guy right at home…nothing special. But it doesn't look empty or old-fashioned; it just looked simple. However, a message on a poster that Van hung up was, "Sorry honey, wedding's off…dragon-slaying season is on," which made Hitomi laugh. Van noticed and grinned.
Now Van noticed Hitomi's side of the room. It was plain and simple, like his, but somehow generated elegance and comfort. His eyes came upon a poster saying, "A person's gotta do what a person's gotta do," with a picture of a commoner taking out the garbage, his wife nagging at him and kids screaming. He smiled…then laughed aloud. That felt strange, as he rarely laughed since the deaths of his mother, father, and brother, Varie, Goau, and Folken.
They secretly complimented each other for their arrangement of the room and began to chat together. Hitomi was however trying to discover what Van's last name is, but he refused to eve hint at it. "You've got your secrets and I've got mine. Now, maybe if you tell me yours, I might spill the beans," Van finally said. "No, because if I tell you, I'll have to go back to my country," Hitomi hinted even though she herself didn't realize. "Oh? So are you in trouble of any kind that I'd be able to help, like the incident with the soldier this morning?" Van teased jokingly. "Ummm…no thanks…"
"You know, you are interesting. I'm determined to find out just who you are, and when I find out, I'll tell you my secret," Van suggested.
"Ha! Good luck trying!" Hitomi retorted viciously with amusement in her eyes, even though she's still got her hat on.
"And that is why I'm lining up my bed to yours. Besides, I need a bigger-sized bed than that puny pathetic thing," Van said, frowning over his small bed.
It was true. The beds are perhaps a little shabby…well, actually a lot. But sharing a bed? Hitomi was horrified.
"But…but…" she stuttered. However, no words came out.
"I'm not changing my mind, boy. We good friends need to stick together. Besides, did those sisters of yours turn you into a sissy with their girly ways?" Van criticized humorously.
"A SISSY? You calling me a sissy?" Anger flared up from Hitomi's eyes like untamed fire and even Van saw this. He, however, wanted to play along.
"Yeah, so what if I called you a sissy, huh? Whatcha gonna do?" he smirked.
"Just…KILL YOU!" And with that, Hitomi jumped on Van, trying to wrestle him to the floor. Van fought back, not too hard to get bruises or scratches on his new, however strange friend.
Hitomi was worried even though she was having a fun time beating up Van. But of course he was just play-fighting…he's much too good for this. However, did Van discover of her being a girl?
