Chapter 8: Revealed Emotions
Hitomi had so many questions to ask her now "experienced" friend. They walked around the castle quietly discussing what Yukari had just done with Allen. They felt like they were in high school all over again.
"So, what was it like?" Hitomi eagerly asked. Yukari blushed.
"Well, at first it really hurt but after that, all I can say is that it was the best thing ever! I've never experienced something so incredible." Hitomi's eyes widened. She wondered when would it be her first time? She still felt that Van didn't love her because of her dreams and what that gypsy had told her. What if he never felt the same way for her from the start? Doubts flooded her mind.
Merle was walking around the castle looking for Hitomi or Yukari. She didn't really enjoy talking to Millerna, mainly because Millerna was too "royal" and proper, not the type to go out and have fun like Hitomi and her friend. Merle soon found herself getting frustrated looking for the two. When she came across Allen in the hallway and asked if he had seen either of the girls. He began to blush at the mention of Yukari's name. He had never felt this way about any woman before. Everything about her made him lust for her. Just thinking about her made him feel like he needed her.
"So, have you seen them?" Merle impatiently asked Allen.
"Oh, um, no Merle, sorry, I have not seen either of them today except for when you were outside earlier." Merle knew he was lying to her; she had a sixth sense about things like that. Also not only did Merle already know what Allen and Yukari had done together, but she could see right through Allen.
"Sure Allen, I bet you haven't seen Yukari." Merle replied sarcastically. Allen noticed the look on her face and knew that he couldn't lie any more; she knew.
"You know?" Allen asked, baffled at the fact that rumours began and spread extremely fast. She simply nodded with a smirk across her face. "But how?" he asked.
"Oh, well, me and Hitomi were looking for Yukari and one of the maids said she saw her go into your room, so we peeked in and saw you two laying naked in bed together." Allen had never felt more embarrassed in all his life.
"Merle, please don't tell anyone of it okay." Merle just stood there and thought about it. Should I keep it to myself? She wondered. She knew she could easily turn Allen into her servant with this sort of information, but she didn't want to be mean.
"Don't worry, I wont say anything Allen. But you should find Hitomi and Yukari and tell them not to say a word." Merle said as she walked passed Allen. Shit! His mind screamed and went began to desperately search for the two young women. He had to find them before they told anyone. After a long and tiring search, he finally found them. He placed his hand on Yukari's shoulder, making her jump slightly. She was startled and quickly turned and looked at Allen. She couldn't stop the red colour from creeping to her checks.
"Um, Yukari and Hitomi, I need to ask you a favour. Please don't speak a word of what happened this afternoon to anyone."
"Oh, that's okay Allen, I would never tell anyone." Hitomi answered with a little giggle.
"Don't worry Allen, I wont speak a word of it." Yukari said as she stared deep into his deep blue eyes. She couldn't hide her feelings for him any longer. Ever since their little meeting that afternoon she longed to do it again. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and forced his lips to hers. Their lips locked together in a passionate kiss.
Hitomi turned around and walked away from the two lovers. There was no way she could part the two. It's impossible to separate two people in love. She thought to herself as she walked away. She wondered if she would ever have that sort of relationship with Van.
Later that evening, Hitomi sat alone in her bedroom staring up at the night sky. Even though she knew that her dream of Van not loving her anymore was not true, she still had a feeling lingering deep down inside that he didn't love her. Someone, please give me a sign that we're meant to be! She begged silently as she gazed up at the star covered sky.
Van stood at the entrance to her room admiring how beautiful she had become in juts six years. She may have changed physically but he could never mistake her emerald eyes for another. All he wanted was her and now. He felt that if he couldn't have her, his life would be meaningless. So with all the courage he could muster, Van slowly made his way over towards Hitomi.
Hitomi heard someone in her room. She instantly turned around to see Van. She blushed as he smiled at her. He's changed so much, she thought, and for the better. . . she found herself lost in the warmth of his brown eyes. As she gazed deeply into them, all memories of her dream and what that gypsy had told her disappeared. You build your own destiny, she told herself. I won't let that future come true… She wasn't going to let anything stop her from having Van. She had waited too long and wasn't about to lose him.
She stood up and slowly approached him. They embraced. Hitomi smiled to herself. He does feel the same way… Their eyes locked together in what seem like an endless gaze. Their lust for each other slowly grew to the point where it seemed uncontrollable. They first exchanged small kisses which then developed into long and deep passionate ones. Slowly they made their way to Hitomi's bed, their lips never parting.

With shaky hands he pulled the strings loose from her gown, it slipped elegantly from her shoulders and fell to the floor with a whisper. Her breath caught in her throat as the chilly night air blew through the opened window, brushing against her bare skin.
Vans eyes widened as the firelight flickered a pale gold against her skin. He had never seen any thing so beautiful before in his life. With eager fingers Van pulled free of his breeches and tunic, revealing his muscular chest. "I love you…" He whispered, brushing her long locks from her curvy shoulders.
Hitomi shivered as a fire like feeling ran threw her body as Van's strong hands cupped her shoulders and pulled her against his warm body. Their lips met in a soft embrace. Neither one sure of where to start, they climbed into the bed together.
Hitomi laid down on the soft sheets, her glorious hair spread out over the pillow. "Are you sure?" he asked holding her tightly in his arms.
Her mouth curved into a smiled and she pushed his back against the bed. With swiftness Van never new she possessed, Hitomi straddled him. She bent her head close to his and took possession of his lips. Her mouth parted with a soft moan letting Van's tongue explore her soft mouth. His hand instinctively wrapped around her small waist and rolled her under him. She wrapped her long legs around his waist and he thrusted in to her. Pain rushed through her abdomen and she bit down on her lip, holding back her scream. She now understood the pain Yukari had tried to explain to her earlier. Van resisted the temptation to go further in to her. "Are you alright?" He whispered his voice husky with lust.
She mumbled something against his neck and urged him on. With another quick thrust the pain vanished into something more. Hitomi cried out clenching the bed cover with a fist. He withdrew fully and thrusted hard into her sheath. A wave of unbelievable pleasure coursed through her body and his.
They clung to each other longing for release but wanting the feeling of fullness to last forever. Van's thrusts grew stronger and quicker as there bodies slicked together with perpetration. Hitomi cried out, as her body was shaken with a giant wave of pleaser. Her nails dug into his back as the wave subsided into a tingle. She hugged him close as he pumped into her. His body tensed and he let out a low animal like moan. "Are you okay?" Van mumbled rolling off of her.
"I'm fine" Hitomi whispered as he pulled her into his arms.

Siren paced back and forth in her bedroom chambers. How am I going to find this book and pendent? She wondered. Suddenly it hit her; she had the perfect plan to get them. She walked over to her vanity and picked up her black and gold hand mirror. She concentrated hard on it as colours in it began to swirl and change. The colours finally took on the form of a man wearing a hooded black cloak that hide his face.
"You called my queen," he spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes Jijico, I want you to send out your Shape-Shifters to find this book and pendent." she ordered the man she called Jijico. An image of the book and pendent appeared before him in his mirror.
"As you wish your highness," he said as his image disappeared in Siren's mirror. She walked out of her room and on to a large balcony. She looked out onto the dark deserted land before her. She smiled with satisfaction. It wont be long till I have my love, Van Slanzar de Fanel all to myself. She thought with an evil grin.
The man Jijico, turned away from the mirror and grinned. He walked down a long corridor till he came to a large gathering hall. The room was poorly lit and all that could be seen were the outlines of beings wearing black hooded cloaks. Jijico walked up to the podium and the room fell silent.
"Shifters," he began. "Your new orders are to find this pendent." he held his arm high above his head and an image of the pendent appeared as did an image of the book. "And this book!" the beings looked on at them in awe. The two images then disappeared. "Now go!" he commanded. The beings slowly made their way out of the hall and as they did, they began to change their shape.
