Hiotmi eventually got used to having Chesta around. He taught her how to boost her power and
taught her how to fight on the side. She was actaully getting pretty good at it. Although he wouldn't
replace her father she and Chesta went on good terms. They had their differences , but they were able
to make it look convincing that they were had a good realtionship. Which is mainly why they tried to
stay on one to keep up appearances. They didn't mention Zaibach to anyone and things went to
normal as best they could. But that didn't mean that Hitomi would forget who he was. But really what
was she going to do. Not to mention the thought crossed her mind that if anything went wrong
Chesta had orders to kill her family. So she played nice and continued with her lessons , fighting and
psychic. But one day Chesta was talking to her mother.
"Chesta who is this letter from?"
"Oh no , it must be from my brother Jijuka." " I'm sorry , about that. I'll talk to him about it."
"It says here that he can't find a place to live. What does he mean by that?"
"Oh he's been trying to find a place to live for a while , I guess he still hasn't found one."
Hiotmi was in shock. Jijuka was another one of Delandel's men. Oh no , how many people from
Zaibach was she going to encounter?
"Well do you know where he is? I'm sure we have room here for him."
"Well I could ask him if you wanted me to. But he might be a bit of a handful you see. And Hitomi
might not be ready for such a big adjustment. I mean I don't think I have the heart to tell her that wer'e
, well , engaged." if you can actually die of shock which thank goodness that's pretty hard , Hitomi
would be dead. *Engaged!!!* that was the biggest shock of her life. Well the second biggest. The
visions and Gaiea were the first. Later on that night after they were done with practice. Hitomi asked a
very important question.
"Chesta , why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you what?"
"I heard you and my mother last night. You and my mom are engaged. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I did tell you in a way. Do you remember when I mentioned 'deception'?''
"THAT'S what you meant. I thought you meant living here under some false reason , like one of my
mom's friends mentioned you or something." "I didn't think you meant something personal , do you
realize what will happen when you go back to Gaiea?"
"Uh . . . "
"You are going back eventually , aren't you?" she asked with worry.
"Oh , yes , eventually I will be going back to the Gaiea. And you will of course come along for the ride ,
isn't that the way people put it here?" he asked. He had mastered talking to adults but when it came to
talking in kid lingo , like any other adult it had some things to be desired.
"What do you mean by that? I thought you were here to train me for the purpose of making Van mad
and having him do something stupid. Or a take-over if the Mystic Moon. Which wouldn't have been a
good idea." Chesta smiled. Hitomi couldn't think why but then she realized her mistake. Why wasn't
she more careful with her language?
"So even though everyone here calls it Earth you still consider it the Mystic Moon." "One could be as
curious to wonder as to how your friends react to the terminology." "Or ,' he said a little slyly almost,'
mabey you feel comfortable around me enough to say such things." he smiled.
"Well one could assume one would be used to you by now. I can't go cringing every time I get around
you guys now can I?"
"Guys?"
"It's a term."
"You speak in plural."
Hitomi gave him an annoyed look did he really think she was that stupid? A look of realization just at
that moment dawned on him.
"Oh you mean Jijuka."
"Yes what is he doing here? Where is he?"
"Well as for what he's doing here , he's here to watch you as well as I am. But. ---------"
"But?" Hitomi asked worried.
"As for where he is your guess is as good as mine."
"You don't know where he is?"
"No , but we can find him."
"We? What we?" Hitomi asked panicky. Chesta smiled again , this time the kind that says ' well you kn
ow how it is.'
"Consider it part of your training." "We have to find Jijuka before he gets out of hand. He is one of our
Lord Delandel's most loyal men. So he could be a bit dangerous." Hitomi rolled her eyes at the ceiling
and gave a tired sigh.
"We'll start out in the morning. What time is it?" Chesta looked at his watch. Hitomi's mother bought it
for him.
"11:30." he said calmly. "Why?"
" See you at 5:30."
"P.M!?" he hoped it wouldn't be that late.
"No, a.m."
"Oh. Goodnight Hitomi.''
"Goodnight Chesta." she said annoyingly. She was not a happy camper.
