Kissing a Stranger
Serena slowly blinks and began to wake up. She sat up, expecting to feel the stinging pain of her injuries but was surprised to find that the wounds were gone. She glanced around and found Hitomi clinging to the blond man and crying, the other stranger kneeling next to her, and a strange cattish human peering at her, while licking her paws/hands. "wha.?"
Hitomi stopped crying at the sound of Sere's voice, happy to know that she was alive. She broke away from Allen and ran to her friend, hugging her and crying into her shoulder. "Sere-chan.. I .. I'm sooo sorrrrryy." She sobbed.
Van watched also happy that the girl was ok.'Thank heavens!. but was that the right thing to do? I could've just made the biggest mistake in my life! But. I had to see she could be the one for me.' He cleared his throat to get their attention. "ahem.."
All eyes turned to Van. Hitomi got off of Sere and kneeled next to her. Van stood up and offered the blond beauty his hand. "I'm Van Fanel. and you are Miss?"
"Serena Tsukino, but you can call me Sere-chan if you wish." Sere took his hand and he helped her up, while Hitomi helped herself up.
Hitomi glanced at Allen and their eyes met. You could tell they were thinking the same exact thing. 'They'll make a perfect couple.match making time.'
Meryl stood by, feeling lonely. 'Its not fair! I'm the only one who hasn't found my mate yet. Lord Van obviously has that blond girl and Hitomi has Allen. Being a kid sucks.'
The five walked to Van's castle, four of them answering a certain blonds questions, except for the one about why she wasn't injured anymore. Van was the only one who knew the answer and he seemed to not want to share. Every on was curious about the small pendent that had a silver light pulsating with the rhythm of Serena's heart.
~That night~
Diner was about to begin and Sere and Hitomi were in their own rooms that Van had given them. Each were dawned in a beautiful gown. Sere's was moonlight white and Hitomi's was a very light pink.
Soon after Hitomi finished touching herself up, she left for the dining hall. Waiting at the end of the stairs, in front of the door to the room was Allen. The two stood for a moment, just gazing at each other, then walked into the dining room together. Allen escorted Hitomi to the seat next to him, which was on the left side of the end of the table, the Kings seat. He kindly asked the original occupant to let Lady Hitomi to sit there. At first the occupant, who was a council member was hesitant but after realizing the Lady was Lady Hitomi, he gladly moved over. All the council was at the table, chatting with each other and hoping that maybe Hitomi had come to take the Kings hand in marriage. As Hitomi looked around, she realized that only two people had not yet arrived. The King, and Serena.
Serena was in her room, ready to go and sitting on her bed, waiting for her escort to dinner like she had been told to do. Soon a small knock was heard and she opened the door to Van in an outfit much like Edmonds, except his was white and silver.(spry cant spell his name. His suit looks like Diamonds ok.))
"Lady Sere, are you ready for diner?" Van politely asked. 'OMG! She's beautiful. like an angel.. a goddess'.
Serena had been thinking about what had happened to her ever since she woke up. Moreover, she was curious about the pendent. She had also noticed that her broach was gone. 'oh no. how am I supposed to release Hitomi's memories now? What happened to me? Why do I feel as if I'm connected to that boy?' It was time for her to find out the truth. "Lord Van.please tell me what happened?"
Van sighed. He was hoping he wouldn't have to answer the question but then again it was just hoping. He wasn't sure if the girl would like what the answer was going to be. "I've bonded you with Escaflowne and its energist. and that-that crystal you had.so.. in other words, unless something happens to that crystal or Escaflowne. your immortal. like me"(Van had bonded with Escaflowne already) Silence was the only reply he got.
Serena was shocked. 'Bonded with that energist, machine, and the silver crystal? Where is that crystal anyhow. and what is this pendent?'
"I-I'm sorry, but it was the only way for you to live!" Van was afraid that this girl was mad at him. Finally, she answered him.
"It's alright, just surprising. what is this pendent anyway?" Serena really didn't know what to feel. In away, it was a good thing. yet also bad. This was because either way she would have been immortal anyhow, being reborn every time she died. Now that she was bonded with some thing (and someone, though she doesn't know it) there was a chance she could be killed once and for all. If that happened then Crystal Tokyo would never come to exist! She held up the pendent for Van to see, wanting an explanation for it.
"I think its another form of that crystal, because the original had shattered. Therefore, in other words, instead of being bonded with the crystal it's the pendent now. So. shall we go?" Van offered her his arm.
Serena nodded and took his arm, they walked down the halls in silence, and an occasional blush could be seen on each of their faces, signifying they were thinking of a certain someone. When they were at the bottom of the stairs, Van turned to Serena. He couldn't help it anymore. it was killing him, he wanted to get lost in the Sere's eyes, drown in a kiss shared by each other. He was in love and hardly even knew her. Guess there is such a thing as Love at First Sight. He gently lifted her chin up and passionately kissed her, clutching her tightly against him.
Sere didn't know what to do! She was shocked and angry that he had kissed her without any warning, and they were practically strangers to, yet she also wanted to respond to that kiss. To taste his sweet essence. Soon she found that her body was in control, not her mind. Moreover, her body was enjoying this kiss and was responding back with its own burning passion. Soon her mind gave in, thinking 'I think I'm in love with a stranger.'
The two broke apart panting, gazing into each other's eyes. Suddenly Van looked away. "I'm sorry." He mentally slapped himself. 'What were you thinking?! Now she'll hate you forever. Your such a jerk.'
"Don't ever do that again!" Sere hisses as she slapped Van even though her mind was having different ideas. She was blushing like mad. 'Ohh maybe he would be my boyfriend. He's so sweet in a way.'
Van was hurt. 'Doesn't she know that I'm in love with her and I don't even know her?' Didn't she feel anything from that kiss? My love, emotion.passion? "I- I'm sorry but I- IjustwanttobewithyouandIcouldnthelpit! PleasegivemeanotherchancebecuaseIloveyouandIhopeyoufeelthesamewayaboutme! Wejustneedsometime!" he said in a rush.
Sere nodded, understanding every word of it, even if the words were jumbled together. "I can't deny that I think I love you, but I don't know what to think anymore"
Van smiled and offered his arm again, which Sere took, soon the 2 entered the dining room and everybody present stood and bowed to the king, though everybody was shocked to see this young women with him. Van led Sere to the seat on the right of his. And introduced her to the council. 'I hope I'm not rushing this.' "Ladies and Gentlemen this is Serena Tsukino. my future queen if she'll accept."
Two thoughts went through Serena's, Allen's, Hitomi's and Meryl's head. 'Is this his way of proposing and isn't He rushing things a bit?'
Well there was only one way for Van's audience to respond to that statement. PANDEMONIUM!!
TBC Hee hee want to know how Sere will react? Well you'll have to wait till the next chappy!
