Folken and Usagi were in a ravine with a small stream to the left. Both had been drifting in and out of consciousness for several hours. Somewhere around 4 o'clock it began to rain. It was light at first with huge droplets that began to fall more often over the next few minutes.
"Unggggggg.. What the hell?" Folken rolled over onto his side and struggled to sit up.
He blinked a few times to clear his vision and got it to focus. As he sat up and groaned again he spotted Usagi. She was lying closer to the water than he was. Her body was entirely limp and she was back in the clothes she had been wearing on Gaia that had been provided by Millerna. The rain was starting to come down harder and it alerted Folken to the need to find shelter.
He quickly checked Usagi for any wounds and then carefully wrapped her up in his cloak. Leaving his shirt around his waist, Folken gently enfolded her in his arms, extended his ash grey wings, and took off into the air. Just as he flew up the ravine began to fill with water extremely quickly.
The sky was filled with gray storm clouds that were crackling with thunder and lightning. Folken stayed as low to the ground as he dared. There was nothing immediately nearby that could serve as shelter so he headed in the direction that seemed to have a less cloudy sky. The landscape was pretty devoid of any structures and they seemed to be in slightly wooded grassland.
Folken sighed and began to contemplate his current situation. He was in an unfamiliar world and his only means of getting home seemed to rest in the woman in his arms. She was sleeping soundly but shivering a bit. Folken brought her closer to his body to share warmth and she snuggled closer to his. He decided to build a fire as soon as he found a suitable resting place for the two of them.
Just as the storm was about to catch up with him and really soak the two, Folken spotted a dead tree that was hollowed out. 'It's better than nothing.' He managed to wedge Usagi into it and fold up his wings before the rain got too heavy. 'So much for a fire. How am I supposed to keep her warm now?'
Usagi began shivering intensely and Folken had no ideas yet. Knowing it was against his better judgment, he wrapped his cloak around both of them and shared his body heat with her. After about fifteen minutes the shivering had subsided and Usagi remained sleeping. Knowing that after the rain stopped he would have to look for food, Folken tried his best to get as much sleep as he could.

"H-Hitomi? Is that really you?" Van's heart was screaming at him. In his mind the words 'please be her' echoed through it.
Hitomi heard her name and turned towards the voice that was always in her thoughts. 'Could it really be him?!?'
"Van!!!!" Hitomi's eyes were brimming with tears as she ran to him and hugged him.
Van was caught off guard by the force she put into the hug. He stood for a moment, not believing that she could really be back, and then he hugged her as well. The scent of her hair was so intoxicating he could barely stand it. Van was reminded of the few times when he had held her in his arms and wished he could do more. With those happy memories came the painful ones as well. He felt a pang of jealousy when he recalled the time he had seen her with Allen.
"Hitomi, I'm so glad you're back. I've missed you so much."
Van slowly lifted her off his chest, savoring the feeling of her skin against his bare chest, and tilted her head upward so they were staring eye to eye. With a swift move of his hand he wiped the tears away from Hitomi's eyes and smiled at his love. She sniffled a bit and smiled back at him with a smile that could melt any heart.
"Hitomi, there's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time. I don't know if I'll ever get another chance like this so please, come with me."
Van unfurled his wings and extended his hand to Hitomi. She never ceased to be amazed by the beauty of those wings Van had. It almost seemed like a dream to both of them. They had wanted to be with each other for so long and this moment was like a dream come true. She took his hand and they began to float into the air. Once they were up above the treetops Van held Hitomi in his arms and looked at her beautiful face.
"I don't really know how to say this but, well, here goes nothing." He left a dramatic pause just to collect his own thoughts and let Hitomi's mind wonder what he was about to say. Taking a deep breath, Van let out what he had been holding in for three long years. "Will you stay here Hitomi? With me? Now that you're back I don't want to loose you again. I-" He stopped to take a breath and compose himself.
"You what, Van?"
He looked up at Hitomi with the most confidence in his eyes she had seen in them in a long time. Van stared her right in the eyes and said what he had been waiting to say since he had first met her.
"I love you."
*Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy. All you Van/Hitomi fans should be really happy about right now. I know this is a short chapter but I couldn't think of a better place to end it. Just for a heads up, I'm telling you readers now that I'm going to write a Folken fic after I finish this one. Heck I might even start it a bit before I finish this one. I've got too many ideas and I don't want to lose them.
