'Where am I?' She asked hoarsely. She looked around her; there was just
darkness, nothing.
She realized that she wasn't wearing anything, no clothes of any kind. She looked around again, making sure there weren't any people looking.
But how can that be? She was nowhere, but at the same time somewhere.
There was a strange weak white light emanating from her body. There was some kind of strange black symbol on her forehead as well, something she had never seen before in the waking hours. She looked at her hands, trying to understand everything.
Where was she? How did she get there?
She tried to think of what the answers to those questions could be, but she couldn't think of anything. She didn't remember, she didn't know. She couldn't remember anything, not even her life, if she had even had one.
Was she dead?
The question hit her, it horrified her. If she was dead, where was she then? It didn't look like heaven, or hell. Or maybe, the place she was in was where people go when they don't believe in either heaven or hell. Was that even possible?
'Hello,' a voice suddenly cut through the deafening silence of the black abyss. She spun around, it was another girl.
The other girl seemed older, 16 maybe 17, she didn't know. The girl had short brown hair, kind of like hers, but totally different in some way. The other girl was naked as well, with the same weak white glow about her body. The other girl didn't seem to mind, or care.
'Who are you?!' She (the first girl) asked, anger growing inside her.
'I am Kanzaki Hitomi, and you are?' The girl, Hitomi said.
'I'm Heartwing.'
Hitomi woke up with a start. She was sweating like a pig. That dream. she knew that dream. She had had it many times before. Every time it was the same, the same person, the same name. What was it trying to tell her?
Von sat up next to her. 'What's wrong sweetie?' He asked her, resting his hands on her shoulders.
'I had that dream again.' Hitomi replied hoarsely.
Von shook his head. 'Don't worry; it's just a dream, probably brought on by stress or something. Don't worry about it.' Von tried to reassure his loving wife.
'But what if it's not *just* a dream Von? What if it has real meaning, like my visions during the war?' Hitomi asked him, looking at Von sadly.
Von nuzzled her shoulder. 'Everything will be fine, we can talk about this more in the morning. Just go back to sleep, you need it, for the baby.' Hitomi rested her head on Von's chest, falling asleep once again.
Heartwing sat up quickly, she was trembling and sweating. She couldn't stop shaking. Heartwing wrapped her arms around herself, trying to stop the shaking.
She had had that dream before, but this time it seemed even more horrible than the last. She hated having the dream; it made her despise having to go to bed at night. The dream was just another reason for her to hate life. Like everything else.
Heartwing was still panting; her pupils were also still dilated. Heartwing took a few deep breaths.
'I need to calm down. I have a big day tomorrow, we have guests coming.' Heartwing told herself, lying back down on the bed. She closed her eyes, trying to go back to sleep.
There was a loud knock on the door. Heartwing sat straight up in her bed. She looked out the window.
The sun was shining brightly through the drawn curtains. She squinted at the light.
'Aaah, the light, it burns!' Heartwing said, rather sarcastically really, as she covered her eyes.
Someone entered the room noisily, closing the door behind them. Heartwing buried herself under the covers of her bed.
'Oh come on! We've let you sleep in long enough! You need to get up, the guests are coming soon!' The male voice told her angrily as her pulled the covers off of Heartwing.
Heartwing turned her back to the man, and the sunlight as she cringed in pain. She moaned. The man shook her violently.
'Come on, get up!' He told her again.
Heartwing reached for a pillow and whacked the man in the head. The man stumbled back, but grabbed the pillow quickly and hit her in the head.
'I don't have time for your games this morning! Your Grandfather will get very angry if you're not down there to greet the guests with the rest of us!' The man told her angrily.
Heartwing moaned. 'No, go away!' She told him weakly.
The man groaned angrily, he walked over to the curtains and opened them all the way. Heartwing moaned loudly in pain.
'The light, it burns!' Heartwing cried out, covering her eyes. The man sighed heavily, shaking his head.
'Come on, get dressed.' He ordered her.
'No way, I'm NOT putting on one of those stupid dresses!' Heartwing retorted angrily, remembering the last time she wore one of those. things.
'Oh come on, I thought you looked really cute in that dress.' The man said, looking at Heartwing thoughtfully.
'Screw you Bit!' Heartwing yelled at him, throwing a pillow at him. He blocked it, laughing.
'Well, if you don't want to dress yourself, I can dress you myself.' Bit smiled at her, laughing.
'Fine, just get out and I'll put on the stupid dress!' Heartwing practically yelled at Bit, making some of the servants walking nearby stop. Bit left, shaking his head and laughing at Heartwing.
Heartwing stood up and walked to her closet. She opened it up, disgustedly looking through the closet; it was full of dresses, and only dresses. Heartwing sighed. She hated dresses, how come no one could understand that? It was so simple.
There was a knock at the door. 'What is it?!' She asked angrily.
'What's taking so long? Hurry up!' Bit replied.
'I think I'll just take my time then!' Heartwing replied angrily, shaking her head and pulling out a dress that looked at least half decent to her.
Heartwing laid the dress on the bed. She started to pull her shirt over her head, she was braless that day, she didn't like sleeping in one.
The door suddenly opened, it was Bit. 'I just thought that I--' He stopped. He stared at Heartwing, as Heartwing stared right back at him.
'Whoa, Heartwing.' Bit said, staring not at her face, but just below that. Heartwing covered herself, screaming.
'BIT, GET OUT OF MY ROOM BEFORE I TEAR YOUR HEAD OFF!!' She screamed angrily at him.
Bit backed up, closing the door behind him. When he was out in the hallway, he leaned against the door, sighing.
'Whoa, she looks good.' He said to himself, getting that dreamy anime look on his face.
Heartwing blushed a brilliant shade of red. She shook it away, getting back to the task at hand, trying to put on the only dress that seemed remotely nice looking.
The dress was a dark, almost midnight blue color. There was a collar that was snug around her neck that had some gold encrusted in a design (like the design on the collar of Dilandau's armor) that was pretty nice looking, at least to Heartwing. The dress didn't have any sleeves, and the gloves looked just like normal short gloves. The gloves were the same color of the dress, and the edged that met Heartwing's skin was gold as well.
To finish it all off, the dress had matching blue high heeled shoes. Heartwing hated high heels, but she knew she had to wear them because she knew her Grandfather, and maybe even Bit would be looking to make sure that she was wearing the appropriate apparel. They would also be looking to make sure she was wearing the appropriate things because they had already caught her wearing sneaker under her dress.
Heartwing looked to her full mirror. She brushed her hair flat, and then she ran her fingers through it, making her hear look ruffled up, but still very nice. She leaned close to the mirror, and inspected her face, making sure there was no "dirt" on her face.
She smiled at herself in the mirror, concluding that she was ready. She turned around swiftly, letting her dress twirl around her body a bit. She smiled, satisfied and walked to the door.
'What took you so long?' Bit asked angrily turning to see Heartwing. He stopped dead in his tracks, looking over Heartwing's body.
'What are you looking at?' She asked him angrily. Bit's mouth was wide open and moving, but nothing was coming out.
'Well.?' Heartwing asked him again.
'I-I. it's time to go. The guests will be arriving soon. Come on.' Bit finally regained his sanity.
Whoa, she looks hot in that dress! Why did she have to pick *that* one? Bit thought, stealing a quick glance at Heartwing.
'What's wrong with you?' Heartwing asked him she was really angry, but only showed agitation in her voice.
'N-Nothing's wrong...' Bit replied, straightening up his stance a little bit more.
'Oh really.?' Heartwing glanced at him with just one eye. She chuckled lightly at him, shaking her head. 'I see.' She said skeptically, cocking her head to the side.

AN: I just started writing this story. I was getting pretty bored of writing my other stories (My Little Spy, Sailor Earth Is Back, and And Better than Ever! Etc...).
This is the result of that boredom. I just kinda started writing this story, no planning was involved or anything. Just a loose story line, and what characters were going to be paired up, if any.
I hope it seems at least a little interesting so far. I have no idea where it's gonna go, so I'm open to any ideas. ^_^
Please R&R!!
