"WHAT!??!!" exclaimed both nobles.
The messenger cringed. He could practically hear his eardrums pulsing. "Yes my lord, sir. The Zaibok Empire has announced that they're declaring war against us." He repeated himself
"What is their reason?" asked the king
"They said that they're Princess Rikana isn't very pleased. She claims that we had destroyed her pride and humiliated her. Also that we had poisoned her step father King Solas."
"What does that princess think she's doing?! That's nonsense we did nothing to Ziaboks king." Exclaimed an PO'd Allen.
"ERR! That wench is just angry that I humiliated her." shouted Van. ~Flash back~
It was 3 months after Hitomi left and Van's advisers had returned. They were holding a ball for Van with all the eligible princesses on Gaea attending. The council had hoped that King Van would get over the idea of the lady from the mystic room returning. Van sat on a throne bored out of his mind, before he had to dance, with every woman at the ball. It was customary to do so. Now he was sitting bored out of his mind and drinking wine. Suddenly trumpets blared and in walked an announcer. "PRINCESS RIKANA OF ZAIBOK EMPIRE!!". In walked a women about the age of 20. She had brown hair twisted into a braided bun with 2 strands framing her face. She wore a beautiful light green gown and appeared to be very kind. However, appearances can be deceiving ne? Van stood up and bowed to the princess. He offered her a dance and she accepted. The 2 glided across the dance floor in a waltz. 'I wish Hitomi was here, I really miss her.. This is soooooo boring.' Was the thought that ran through the king's head. The princess was thinking.. 'The stupid fool. Ill make him mine and then ill avenge the death of my grandfather emperor Dorncurk. After we're married, I'll kill the foolish king and my stupid father as well. He was always too softhearted. It would have lead to his down fall anywayz. Might as well get it over for him.' She flashed Van a dazzling smile. When the waltz ended, she curtsied and Van bowed. They didn't dance again after that. Later that night when the ball was over, most of the guests were in bed. Some of the invited guests were staying at the castle. Princes Rikana was one of them. At midnight, she snuck to Van's room while he was out at a short meeting with the council. She stood in the shadowed corners and awaited the King of Fanelia. A minute later, the expected prince entered his room. He took of his shirt and wearily slipped into bed. He was staring at the ceiling when suddenly a figure emerged from the shadows and slipped into bed with him. Van was mad, he was really mad. Whom did this woman think she is slipping into his room and bed at night? He sat up in bed and glared at the intruder.
"Greetings Van Fanel." Purred the sedusive Rikana. 'I've got you now foolish boy. Your mine!' She scooted closer to Van and gave him her most dazzling smile. The smile she used to win the hearts of all men. "I've been thinking, my dear Van, after that dance we had at the ball, I haven't been able to get you out of my head. We need to get to know each other better."
"Princess, I-" Van was cut off.
"Shhhhh. no need to say a word. I know your used to this, you've never been in a situation like this, just relax." she put a finger to his lips and leaned up close about to kiss him.
Van didn't know what to do. He was horrified of the idea about being in bed with this crazy woman. He snatched her finger away and got out of bed, stood up and tried to not glare at her. "Princess I'm sorry but I don't feel for you. Now please get out of my bed and go reside in your own. I don't want to be rude but you shouldn't be in here. There is nothing between us. I already have a destined." His anger was slowly rising. Who did she think she was trying to replace his Hitomi. The lady in his bed didn't move. By now he was furious. He reached down and grabbed her wrists, glared at her and said, "Lady, might I suggest you get out of my bed?" he was trying to be polite but soon all that would disappear.
"But Lord Van, surly you cant mean that. I mean seriously, who do you think can be your destined except me? That whore of a seer from the mystic moon? Ha, she's probably in bed on Earth with another man at this very moment!" That was probably the biggest mistake that Princess Rikana could have made. She soon found herself yanked out of the bed by her wrists and throw out the door, landing on her bosum. Van stood in the doorway glaring daggers at her.
"Good night Princess, and farewell, I trust that you'll be gone tomorrow?" It was more like a command then a question. Van was ticked. Unfortunately for Rikana, several Nobles with their servants just happened to pass by at that very moment and witnessed the whole thing. Immediately they started to talk amongst themselves in loud whispers. Van slammed the door shut and sat on his bed thinking. Rikana got up from her position and stormed away. But not before hearing some of the spectators' conversations.
"Did you see that? Princess Rikana was trying to bed with King Van but was denied! I never thought that she of all people would have to act like a lowly commoner, but even worse a whore!"
"She tried to get Lord Van's affection! Everyone knows that he's still in love with the Lady Hitomi."
"She snuck into his room! How low and desperate can she get?" Rikana after hearing this was furious. As she stormed into her room she thought, 'Just you wait Van Fanel, I'll get you for this. You'll pay for not having me. You and that witch Hitomi! When I leave, its war. But first I have to take care of my father. He's not going to like going to war with Fanelia. The softhearted fool. Tomorrow we'll leave and ill slip some poison into his breakfast. (Some of the kings had been at the ball, King Solas was one of them.) The people of Zaibok will panic, there isn't an heir to the throne yet, so to calm them ill take over ~grins evilly~ Fanelia will feel my wrath for denying me as their Queen!' With that thought she slipped into bed and dreamt of destroying Fanelia.
Meanwhile Van was still sitting on his bed. What Rikana had said had hit him more than he thought. It hurt to think that Hitomi was with someone else on Earth. He realized that since she had left Gaea, they might start drifting apart. In fact they had drifted apart, and it had only been 6 months. He still loved her, but it was now a controlled love, a love that was a poor excuse for the feelings he had before for her. He had once had this uncontrollable feeling for her. Something he didn't understand. It had scared him. Later he found what that feeling was. And he embraced it with his beloved. But now it was different he hadn't seen her in a while and knew that somehow she had changed. Gone was the lady he was madly in love with. He could feel it through her pendent. He was scared now. He thought Hitomi was his 1 and only, but now he wasn't so sure. He was afraid that when she returned, they wouldn't have the same feelings for one another. He knew for a fact that he still somewhat felt the same for Hitomi, the Hitomi that hadn't gone back to the Mystic Moon, the Hitomi of the past. Van fell asleep to a dream that kept him twisting and turning all night.
~end flashback~
After the messenger left, Van and Allen were discussing what to do.
"Allen? Would you be my 2nd in command? I know that I can trust you. You're a skilled guymelif warrior, better than I am even. Your men don't have to fight in this war, but I'm asking YOU to help." Of all the warriors Van knew, Allen was the best of the best. He trusted him to aid his kingdom in their time of need.
"Of course Van, my men and I are at your service. We will do all we can to aid you and your kingdom." Allen was not going to leave his new companion to fight t his war alone. They would fight it, side by side.
~On Earth~ "THAT'S TERRIBLE!! Oh Sere I'm so sorry" Hitomi was horrified. How could some one do such a thing. Serena had just got through telling her about what happened to her parents. Now Serena was in her arms crying her eyes out while Hitomi was shedding her own. The 2 held each other for a while then broke apart and wiped their tears away.
"Tomi-chan? When exactly are we going to leave for Gaea and how?" Serena was curious of how this girl could travel o different world."
".." Hitomi hadn't thought about that. How were they going to get to Gaea? The last time Van had come to Earth and got her. Van wasn't going to come here she just knew it. She would use her pendent but she didn't have that either. She had given it to Van right before she left. All she had was a single white feather from Van's draconian wings. Then it struck her. She knew exactly how to get to Gaea, but first she would need to get her memories back. "We'll leave right after we find Sailor Moon! When I regain my memories then from the Silver Millennium, we'll be able to teleport to Gaea!!"
"oh? Heh, heh yeah maybe Sailor Moon can help us.." Serena wasn't ready to tell this girl her biggest secret. She didn't want to refresh her memories either because, that meant Tomi would remember the past as Sailor Charon and would have to fight to protect her. 'We're going to have to find another way to get to Gaea. I won't let Hitomi get hurt just for me like all my other friends. There has to be another way'
Hitomi could sense that Sere was hiding something, but decide to let the girl tell her when she was ready. "First we have to get to Juban. I heard that that's where Sailor Moon lives."
"Tomi-chan I don't-" Suddenly the bell for the next class rang, the 2 girls were already late and they scrambled up and ran to their next class. Serena never got to tell Hitomi that she didn't like her idea.
"Sorry Sere-chan but we're late! Tell me later!" They rushed into there next class, which was Pre-Cal.
