Chapter 2

Hitomi and her mother and father were having tea and talking about her
studies when Hitomi remembered her mother said she had some news to tell her.

"So mom?" Hitomi started.

"Hello!? Anyone home!?" a voice came from the door. Hitomi new right away
who it was.

"BRO!" she ran to the door and hugged her brother, a little to tight for his
liking.

"Let go! Ahhhh sis! Leave me alone!" Hitomi let go laughing.

"Hey bro! What's new?" Hitomi said as he hung his coat up.

"Wow, either your taking the news really REALLY well or someone hit you WAY
to hard." with that said Hitomi's parents came up behind her.

"News?" she turned around to face her parents.

"Oops, I just remembered I was suppose to phone umm.... Dan so I better go do
that." Hitomi's brother tried to walk past them.

"Hold it right there mister!" his mother told him. "What did I tell you about
saying that!?"

"Not to mention it." he murdered under his breath.

"Right, now go to your room while we talk to Hitomi." His father told him off.

"Yeah whatever, good luck sis." he called back to his sister as he made his
way up the stairs to his room.

"Good luck?" she murdered to herself.

"Hitomi come into the living room, we need to talk." her mother put a arm
around her shoulders and led her into the room and sat on the coach with her.
Her father followed and sat next to Hitomi as well. She was in the middle.
"Hitomi? Your father and I have made a decision. Now think about it before
you react ok?" Hitomi nodded.

"You see Hitomi." her father started "We both know that well...." he trailed
off letting his wife take over.

"Well that you'll never fall in love." Both her parents knew about her trip
to Gaea. Hitomi didn't like were this conversation was going but listened
anyway. "So we decided that we would pick out a husband for you." Hitomi at
this point stop breathing and froze, but not for long.


"You...you mean like, like betrothed, you've betrothed me?!" Hitomi was now
standing. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!?!!!" she screamed at them.

"Hitomi!" her mother stood up and put her hands on her shoulders. "Hitomi you
know just as well as me that you will never ever love and marry, you no that!"
Hitomi had tears in her eyes.
But she nodded because she knew it was true. "Well? We didn't want you to be
alone forever so..........."

"So you, you sold my soul?" Hitomi lifted her eyes to meet her mothers.

"Is that how you see it?" her mother asked. "No dear, no, no, no." Hitomi
turned around started to walk away. "Think about it please." her mother asked
her.

"Do I have a choice?" Hitomi tried to smile but she just couldn't force it.
With that she ran to her room. When she went in she threw herself on her bed.
'Thank god my room's the same.' Hitomi decided it would be a waste of time
just lying there so she started to pack her things away. When she was packing
everything she found a piece of silk in her bag she opened it to look at a
snow white feather. "Van." she breathed as she held the feather to her cheek
to feel it's softness. "Van." she repeated.

'Hitomi? Are you home already?' a voice came in her mind.

"Oh Van!?" she had forgotten they could communicate for a second, what would
she tell him? Oh no.

'Hitomi, something's bothering you I can tell what is it?' Van was worried.
And she loved him for caring.

'Oh Van' she sulked. She didn't know what to do.

'Hitomi? Hitomi, what is it?' Van would do anything to get her to tell.

'I don't know what to do anymore Van.' Van was confused and he wished he
wasn't.

'I don't understand Hitomi.'

'Ok Van, you see my...my...' Hitomi knew she wasn't helping by stalling.

'Yes?' asking calmly, he knew something bad had happened.

'My parents they...' Hitomi felt more tears still coming.

'Are they ok?' Van asked her still calm but worried.

'Yeah, their fine but...they just gave some news to me that I didn't need.'
Hitomi shut her eyes trying not to cry.

'Is someone hurt?'

'No nothing like that.' Hitomi replied softly.

'Then what was the news about?' Van wished he was there to help her threw
this, even though he didn't know what it was yet.

'It was...was....was about me getting betrothed Van!' Hitomi told the last
part a little to fast and the voice was full of fear and she even knew it
herself. Van didn't reply. Hitomi knew he was hurting, she had to do
something. 'I don't want to Van.' she breathed so very quietly in her
thoughts, but he heard. He still didn't reply. Hitomi could feel his
emotions, anger, sadness, and he was scared. 'Van, please, please say
something. I need you.'

'Hitomi' Van stayed calm but Hitomi knew he was holding in his feelings.
'I...'

'Van, I'm....I'm scared Van. I don't want to.' Hitomi was now sitting on the
floor hugging her knee's like a little child would do. But she didn't care.

'Oh Hitomi.....' Van felt sorry for her also, she could feel it, but she
could also feel his anger. 'I guess you'll....you'll have to-'

"NO!" Hitomi said aloud, she didn't care how childish she was acting.

'But Hitomi think about it, if you no you'll never love again then...then...'

'No Van.' Hitomi said calmer then the first time. 'I can't.'

'Hitomi listen to me now ok?' Hitomi nodded and he somehow knew she did.
'It's ok if you marry, I wont mind' Hitomi was almost heart broken at this.
'You know you'll never love again right?'

'Yeah' Hitomi answered.

'Well as long as I know you'll never love anyone but me it doesn't matter
does it?'

'Van?' Hitomi was shocked.

'Right?' Van asked again.

'But, if I do, will you be ok?' She asked, still not wanting to go threw with
what was happening.

'I'll be fine, It may take sometime for me to get used to you being married
but as long as I know that you love me and only me then I'll be fine.
Anyway's remember I also have to marry someone I don't want to so, I guess
that makes us even.' Hitomi smiled but was sad at realizing the truth.
'But just the same I'll have to make sure he treats you right and that he's
nice and good looking, of course not as good looking as me.' Hitomi smiled
and giggled at him.

'What if he's not?' Hitomi asked she loved how Van always made her feel
better.

'I'll just have to hurt him really bad.' Hitomi pretended to shake her
finger at him.

'Tut tut tut! Not good Van!' Van smiled he was glad he made her feel better,
he just wished he could take his own advise. 'Anyway's how will you know all
this.'

'Oh I have connections.' Van pretended.

'Yeah all the way to the Mystic moon and back, oh wait! Ha you do, Me!'
Hitomi started to sulk again realizing what she had said.

'Yes Hitomi you, and only you.' Hitomi smiled.

'I guess I should tell my parents.'

'Yeah.' Van wished this never happened still. 'Hitomi?'

'Huh?' Hitomi wondered.

'You'll still talk to me right, even after your...' Van stopped he just
couldn't say it.

'Van....where did you ever get the idea I would stop talking to you, after
all like you said yourself I will always love YOU and ONLY you!' Van smiled
with a sigh of relief.

'Cya later Hitomi.'

'You too Van, love you.' They then broke the connection and Hitomi walked
down stairs. "Mom, Dad can we talk?" she asked her parents who were both
still on the couch talking.

"Of course dear." her mother said as Hitomi took a seat across from them.

"I've decided to," Hitomi froze, "I decided to well, to marry the man you
picked out." she watched as their faces lit up.

"Oh that's great dear." her mother hugged her. "Now come have some dinner."

"Sure." Hitomi smiled. 'That's it no more thinking about it anymore!' she
told herself. They all ate dinner and talked again like they had been before
until her brother came down.

"My times up an-" he froze "wow! This time I really am shocked! You heard
the news and-" he stopped again, "you did hear the news right? I'm not making
that mistake twice!" Hitomi nodded.

"Ok good! Let me start over, COUGH *clears throat* wow! This time I really
am shocked! You heard the news and your still happy! I mean I thought you
would have left already!" His father gave him a look but he just shrugged.
Hitomi smiled. She had to admit her brother still was a cutie.
"What?! You ate with out me? Gee, I thought family's were suppose to eat
together? Oh no! my picture of a happy family is now fading what ever will I
do?" her brother spit out while he covered his face as if he was sobbing.

"Ok what do you want?" his father asked now looking at the newspaper.

"20 bucks?"

"WH-!?!?!" before Mr. Kansaki could talk his son butted in.

"Me and Dan are going out tomorrow to the skate park and we are going to go
get our passes today, remember you told me to do something for tomoro-" It
was his turn to get cut off.

"We know." his father gave him a glare and he just went of to call Dan to
see if he was ready.

"Ok, what more have you got to tell me?" Hitomi asked while she fiddled with
the spoon in her tea.

"Well dear you see, we invited-"

"NO!" Hitomi stood up "You didn't! Oh no you did!" Hitomi sat back down and
put her head in her hands.

"Sorry dear but we did your right, we should have told you but," her mother
was rubbing her back with her closest arm.

"Don't." Hitomi said "save it, what's done is done it can't be helped. What
time is he coming tomorrow?"

"They dear, they" her mother corrected her.

"They?" Hitomi asked confused.

"His parents too." Hitomi sighed. Just great she thought to herself.

"I'm going to bed, I need the rest." 'do I ever! Maybe Van will talk to me-
no. I shouldn't bother him anymore. Poor Van, I wish I was with him instead.'
Hitomi though to herself as she walked to her room and put on her pajama's.
Her green pants again with a short loose t-shirt that was stripped with
grey, green, and navy. 'Sleep Hitomi you got a lot to do tomorrow, like what
you ask, well I gotta go shopping for a new dress that's something arg! Good night.
