Hi! Thanks everybody for reviewing and liking my story so far! I'm sorry to take so long to update, but, ya know, That's how life it's and I've been really sick lately.
So, directly from the hospital, here's chapter 4!
Now, tell ya before, tell ya now; this story gets really tricky!
Disclaimer: You can't deny what you never had. Hehehehe, anyone with a drop of common sense will laugh.

"I don't know if you have noticed; but you have 30 ft long wings at each side of yours; they surely work for something else that decoration. Now, mind ya if I hop on and finish this horrible trip?"
"Heck no! Grow your own wings; I'm not a flying taxi service!"

Talking to a princess-dragon seems quite hard a first glance, but it gets easier. We decided to simply walk to Tuonela; it might be strange, but it was good. Not really much hurry in getting there right then.
As it got later in the year. Just talking and discussing things as we walked through plains and hills. Walking slowly; enjoying every second. Eventually, we got further from Palas, further from the war, further from my home...
At my point of view, I always thought that I had lost much than I had won; Those afternoons in the golden plains, those nights sleeping under the stars while those hot summer days passed on; lazily going forward, never worrying about anything. Just... being.
Those days I will never forget. I'm very sorry I got so little of them. There's so many times you just wish your life would go on like before, but with the new things you got.
It gave me a new idea of my own life. I mean, I always thought royalty would a nice start for me in this world. Just sitting on a throne and sending armies and such things.
Hitomi was my new window.

We were crossing a wheat crop a couple of miles down from the east border as Hitomi stopped my train of thoughts with a heavy sniffling.
"Oh, don't be disgusting!" I cried annoyingly. "Why do you always have to do that?"
She looked at me menacingly and turned again.
"Shut up!" she said as she huffed at me. "I heard something..."
Now, that was just annoying, I had fallen tons of times that day and I couldn't keep up then, I sighed and let my mind slip.
"Don't you always do that? That's why we are here right now! You don't do more than--" I was interrupted as Hitomi gave a pitched squeak; she turned around and clawed madly in the long golden wheat. "Get it! Get it! It took my bag! Van! Get it!"
I turned around, not finding anything than the fact I was turning like an idiot. "Let it go, it's just a bag..."
She stopped and, as I recall, she gave me the deadliest look anybody had until then. "In that bag is the only thing I appreciate with all my soul." I froze, there's times when you can't realize the importance of the matter at hand; by her look, she needed that bag, very bad.
"Burn the crop! Do something!" I shouted as I tried to sight the direction the robber went off, looking everywhere, losing my mind slowly. "No, I might damage the bag..." a small twinge of frustration hanging to her elusive voice.
As I was about to give up, I saw a rippling in the wheat crop, as something put some distance between it and us. "Hitomi! There! There it is!"
Her head shot up and she trotted as fast as her legs could pull her, her harpooned tail making deep tracks where it smashed angrily. A frightening sight for me then, you don't really want to see mad dragons, especially when they lose something very important.
"Stop you piece of shit! Give me my bag back!" She shouted, an arrogant twinge in her voice as madness sipped into her brain of the now flapping her wings madly.
It was then I realized that she didn't know how to fly, it had been oblivious to my knowledge, since I was so clumsy... But I paid no heed as I saw her bloodshot green eyes. I felt sorry for whatever took her bag... But I felt sorrier for Hitomi.

It was dark, cold, wet, and an air of hatred filled the emptiness of the now enclosing forest. We left the plains and entered a bordering forest, Aboynay. The smooth ground turned into hills and a mountain could be sighed close by.
Every once and then I would hear mumbled curses from Hitomi as I would slip in the muddy patches. She wouldn't wait for me; suffocated by hatred and the pouring rain, she would now and then sniff the around, hoping to find a track left by the vandal.
We hit a cliff; stopping in our tracks just in time to evade the horrible drop. Under us, more forest could be seen, extending for what seemed endless miles. Huge trees stood tall before another ones, announcing the heart of the forest. And that pretty much means lost.
Her tail and wings were caked with mud and her claws were half as dirty. Sorrow and worry could be read in her features and green orbs... whatever it was in that bag, it was had to be really precious.
I sighed upwards, letting the crystalline water wash the mud in my face. It was cold and the moon couldn't be seen with all the darkened clouds hanging in the sky. Thunder clasped in the distance, announcing the ultimatum of the storm as the white flashes gave me a creepy shadow lurking around and Hitomi's reckless one.
"Hitomi... let you rest a while. The tracks are lost, and we are going to get sick..." I said as I dropped down hopelessly.
"No! I told you! If you can't keep up, go away, I don't need you." She snapped at me, bearing her fangs angrily. That sight infuriated me, a rage welled up inside of me as I snapped back.
"Hey, I'm doing you a favor! Stop being such a... bitch!" I babbled up enraged.
Her eyes became narrow slits as she gave me a death look; in an instant her tail was zooming up in my eyesight as I rolled to one side. The harpoon deep in the mossy ground.
"Stop it! You are going to kill me!" I yelled up, as she pulled her tail right up for another deadly strike. "Go away then, bastard!" She snapped at me, swishing her tail horizontally in a vain hope to decapitate me.
"Hitomi! Please, stop! You are going insane, will get your bag! Stop!" I whimpered as she still danced her harpoon back and forth, always fearing she would decide to burn me after a while.
"I don't want to hear you! Go away! I hate you; I should have stayed in the cave! Look now, I lost my bag I'm wet and all trails are lost! Go away! I don't want to see--" She stepped back a couple of feet, unaware of the landslide; I tried to warn her, but hatred kept my words inside. She kept saying things to me, making me more sure not to tell her the danger before her.
Then I saw regret in her eyes; she cut her words and bowed her head ashamed. "Van... I'm sorry, I didn't meant to be that--" She was asking forgiveness as she unsteadily backed up, closer to the edge. My smirk faded as I realized she would fall.
"Hitomi! Stop!" I shouted as tear started showing at the corners of my eyes.
Her haunches started sliding down as she clawed the ground, looking for foothold in the bare floor of the cliff. Her claws leaving deep trails of desperate urge to maintain her massive body in the leveling. She flapped her wings in no avail, mud splatting everywhere if not in the whole area, I ran to her, and pulled her arm with all my strength, being useless as for such.
She dangled from the edge, steady as she could be at all, as I pulled in her arm. "Stop, you are going to hurt yourself. Let me go, get my bag, is the only thing I ask you." She said with her tired breath, almost a whisper. If she hadn't been that tired, she wouldn't have any problem at all. If I had not say anything, we wouldn't have been there. If I had helped her when she said it, we would be soon resting in a faraway calm place.
"No! I won't leave you!" I said as more tears made their way down my face, mixing with the pouring rain which had no mercy for us. The ground became more muddy, and Hitomi started slipping again. "Ok, ok, I'm not going to ask you to fetch my bag..." she said as she went motionless. "Is an order!!! Get my fucking bag and make sure you rip that bastard's eyes out." She shouted, sending me sprawling to the floor.
"Hell, get it yourself if you going to act like that!" I said as I crossed my arms infront of my chest and sat infront of her.
"So much for the woeful and sorrowful moment, huh?!" she snorted as she rolled her eyes.
"Like you care, want more attention, princess?" I said sarcastically, as she glared at me.
"Oh, go fuck your--" the ground loosened and Hitomi lost her handing as. She gave me a sad look as I stood and ran for her. She lost all and plummeted to the darkness below, as I followed close by.

There, now, wasn't that stupid? Well, I don't care, after all, this is my fic =P Well, anyways, thanks for waiting, I got really sick with a tuberculosis case and I was being held captive in the hospital for a time being until my sickness wasn't so contagious.
So anyways, thanks for all the reviews, it makes me feel a lot better after all the shitty stuff, huh? Heheh, sorry for the baddey words, had to get them out.
Anyways, that's Hitomi's personality here, so don't sue me for that.
Well, just one more thing...
Thanks!!!!
