*In my care*

"Wake up, Hitomi"
Hitomi groggily opened her eyes and her sight focused she let out a groan and rubbed the places were Dilandau poke the needle in her. She was met by big blue orbs glimmering at her like sapphires and she jumped in surprise. She let out a cry as her sore body was stiff and moving wasn't the smartest thing to do in her condition. "Ow" she whimpered and look up only to be greeted by the short man that had taken care of her for the past two days.
"He's not really short, he as tall as I am maybe taller by an inch or so" she thought to herself as the boy looked at her puzzled. "How do you feel today" he ask shyly and Hitomi gave him a so-so gesture and he nodded in reply "I made more of the medicine for you, you look fine now but it's better to be safe than sorry" he told her and gave her the bowl. Hitomi made a face at it; she didn't like the taste of it "You have to drink, you want to be strong again so you can see you're friend" he urged and Haltom ears perked up.
"That's right. I have to stay strong, until Van comes for me" she thought to herself determined. She took the bowl and forcefully drank down the salty remedy. She stick out her tongue, which slightly amused Chesta. Chesta took out bandages from his uniform and lie them on the ground "Miss, I have to change your dressings" he said and saw her slightly colored. "Your wounds may get infected," he explain blushing himself at the thought. He saw her nod and took off her uniform blazer and blouse. He wince at the sight of the scars she had on her back some were still fresh "bastards" he thought to himself angrily. He begin to clean the wounds being gentle as he possibly could.
His eye's went to one particular scar he cringe at it, it was clearly embedded across her back as he traced it gently with is fingers without thinking. "Is it that bad?" Hitomi ask and sense the boy jump out in surprise "Y-Yes it is, sorry" he replied embarrass. As he begin to wrap the dressing he heard her sniffling "Hitomi?" he ask.
The honey colored girl wipe her face and smile at him "It's nothing" she lied Chesta wasn't buying it unfortunately. "I won't mind" he assured and she shook her head "What good would it do for my situation" she countered "It's not going to make the situation better" she began and felt warm arms around her and her head fell on his chest.
"You're wrong; crying is sometimes the best thing to do in a situation, I won't mind" he said to her quietly. Hitomi felt the tears threatening to spill; god she went through so much. Endless torture and pain poisoned and being half-dead she wanted to break down and cry but it only attract those damn interrogators that always hover over her like a piece of meat.
"They're not awake, it's the middle of the night. No one will hear....except me" Chesta spoke. Hitomi began to shake as all of the emotions she had begin to emerge "Why should you care; you are the enemy" she choked out. Chesta's eyes saddened at this; he really wanted to help this girl, even f it meant at the expense of his own life "It doesn't matter, the sooner I die the sooner I'll be at peace at least she has someone to go back to" he thought to himself. Hitomi noticed the boy was so silent she felt a very melancholy aura around him much more miserable than her own.
"I should leave you alone now" he said solemnly and abruptly stood up he began to exist the cell but stop while Hitomi gave him a confused look.
"You're right Hitomi, enemies shouldn't become friends; it'll only make things more complicated" he spoke before leaving the cell. Hitomi turned away with mixed emotions she understood what he meant but at the same time she felt guilty and sad by what he told her. "I guess....I'm just lonely" she spoke aloud and Chesta stop.
"You feel lonely all the time, don't you, scared even" she ask to Chesta. Chesta snorted at this "So what? It doesn't really matter if you're isolated you only get betrayed and shattered in the end" he replied harshly.
"But, you don't want to be alone, that's the thing you fear most, is it not?"
"What would you know?!" he snapped and Hitomi just look at him with gentle eyes "You're taking care of me" she simply replied. "So what?" he replied, his back facing against her. He heard shuffling and assume that she positioning herself to sit more comfortably.
"You could have left me to die; but you didn't. So why? Why did you save me?"
"You pleaded me to and you ask? That's very rude" he retorted. "Before that, you were the one who bandaged me before, weren't you?" This stop Chesta as he thoughts immediately went back to his slaughtered family and how he couldn't help them. "I have my reasons" he finally spoke.
"Cry"
"Nani?" he replied turning to face her and saw her pull her knees up to her chest with blazer covering her top "You said yourself sometimes crying is the best situation" she pointed out. Chesta smiled at this amused "I've forgotten how to cry" he simply replied "I'll bring your food later get some rest; you'll need your strength" he said with sympathy and left Hitomi alone to think to herself.
Hitomi heard him walk until the scuffling of the boots faded away and she crouched into a little ball swaying slowly back and forth. "I'm am idiot; there's goes the one person who would even think about helping me escape" she thought to herself and let a sad smile show "He was a very nice person too" she thought to herself. She closed her eyes "Van" she whispered hoping she can reach him somehow but after fifteen minutes she dozed into a sleep.
************************************************
Van yawn sleepily and rubbed his eye's in irritation "Van-sama, get some sleep" Merle pleaded and he shook his head. "Not until Gaddess comes back" he reply and was accompanied by another yawn.
"You tired"
"I'm not tired Merle" he whine with his eyes drooping and pinch his cheek to keep himself awake but it ended with vain results. "Damn it" he cursed and look at his sword her mouth turned into a sneer as he remember that traitor throwing him it "He's not my brother, he died" he thought to himself gripping the sword tightly.
"Van-sama" Merle begin to whine "Arrrgh, fine I'll go to sleep" he snapped and laid on the prison beds "Happy?!" he ask sarcastically and Merle meowed in reply. Van look at the ceiling until his eyelids got heavy and he slept in a heavy sleep "Finally" Merle said and nestle on the ground curling like a feline "Hitomi, you better be alive; You're making Van-sama suffer" she snarled before dozing off herself.
Van found himself running in a dark void he was panting heavily; his chest threatening to explode "HITOMI!!" he called out but heard nothing but his echo. He ran what it seem like hours calling her out. His legs finally gave out and he fell on his knees gasping for breath. His eyes widen as he saw Hitomi right below him trapped on the other side of the obsidian glass. "Hitomi!?" he called out and the girl look up "Van!??" she replied outreaching her hand to him. Van tried to reach but the mirrored surface was solid he growled at this and with all his strength begin punching the glass and with good reason; Hitomi was struggling under their to breathe, it look like she was drowning.
Van punch the glass surface harder and harder; not caring that his hands were turning raw with a angry cry he punched through, and the glass shattered as his hand entered water and grasped Hitomi's. He pulled her out and rubbed her back while she cough out water. "Daijobu" he ask frantically and she nodded in reply. Van sighed in relief and embraced her, which took Hitomi by total surprised.
"I've been so worried" he confessed to her He look at her with concern "What did they do to you?" he demanded and saw her turn away. He grabbed her shoulders "Hitomi, what did they do to you?" he repeated, his amber eyes glowing intensely.
"They interrogated me" she answer and saw his eyes widen in fear and suspicion "How did they--" he stop he couldn't finish the questions; he didn't want his assumptions to be correct. "They whipped me and--" she stop and continue again she would be strong to say it.
"They tortured me" she finished and lifted up her uniform sleeve showing him the swollen spot where Dilandau had shoved the poison needle through her. "Oh god, Hitomi, forgive me--I'm so sorry it's all my fault--if I hadn't left you then this wouldn't have happen" he choke out trembling violently. "Van, it's no one's fault; it just happen" she assured to him. Van embraced her again more tightly this time "Please, stay strong Hitomi, please, stay alive until I come for you" he pleaded. "Van...I am but sometimes--"
"NO! PLEASE JUST STAY ALIVE!!"
"Van?"
"I won't let anyone else suffer for my cause, my problems, my sufferings, I won't let any more of my friends die! So I ask you; stay strong, until I come for you"
Hitomi eyes began to water and she nodded "I will Van; until you come for me" she replied hugging back. She look at him and smiled "He looks so much like a child" she thought to herself; if a girl wasn't careful, she could end up falling for a guy like him. "I won't die, I have you to keep me strong "she reassured to him. "Hitomi, thank you; for all the times you saved my life; when we first met, when I first battled the enemy and when that albino attacked me" he spoke to her.
"What are friends for, Van?" she said. "Someone's watching over you, aren't they" he ask and Hitomi found herself blushing as her thoughts went to the short soldier "yes" she simply answered. All of the sudden Van felt a strong force pulling him away from Hitomi "what the" he exclaimed.
"It's ok; we're just waking up" Hitomi spoke "I don't want to wake up; I want to make sure you're all right" Van whined and Hitomi smiled at this "We'll meet again, in our dreams; you reached out to me, you'll be able to do so again"
With that said Van allowed himself to be pulled away from her much to his reluctance and found himself back in the cell. He stretch his limbs and look at the cell door; Gaddess still hadn't return talking to Allen. He look at Merle who was sleeping peacefully and he stared at the wall "I come for you" he thought to himself.
*********************************************************************
Chesta let the wind blow through his hair as he leaned against the railing outside of the Vione looking down from the heavens to the earth. "Just sprout wings and fly away; just like a draconian" he thought to himself as he remembered the stories of the cursed people of Atlantis. He sighed at this. Personally he didn't really see what was so bad about the draconian why did so many people loathe them?
"People always hate things people that they can't control...."
A sad look swept through his eye's "Alone; I've been alone all my life" he spoke to himself and closed his eye's he tried to cry, many times. But the tears wouldn't come out no matter how hard he tried, it was true, what he had said to her; he had forgotten how to cry it didn't matter he was still alone like he had always been it wouldn't matter if he just let himself fall off the battleship.
"What's stopping me?"
Hitomi then flash through his mind and he stop "Huh?" he exclaimed and more images flash before him of her and how he first saw her; bleeding in a pool of blood, dying. He back away from the railing and shook his head and look at the sky and a cynical smile showed "You're a strange one fate; fine I'll watch over her until she returns to where she belongs and leaves me" he felt a sudden pang in his heart saying it, it was too long since he had someone to talk to "What does it matter? We're enemies, I just showed a weakness...."
"But...it's nice to talk to someone after all this time"
He returned inside the vione "I better bring her breakfast" he thought and went to the pantry; stealing a few loaves of bread. He walked to the cell and much to his surprise she was still awake "I thought I told you to sleep" he demanded.
"I did, I just woke up" she reply and chesta open the cell "That's nice to hear" he spoke and handed her a loaf "Eat" he stated. "I'm not--" She began "Eat, you'll need all your strength to survive" he cut her offand sat by her. Hitomi began taking small bites into it forcefully swallowing it down.
"I had a dream, about my friend"
"What was it?'
"I-nothing" She answered back and Chesta just shrugged his shoulders. He then felt something heavy on his chest and look down finding Hitomi burying her face in him. "W-what's wrong?" he ask and heard sobs coming from her "You're crying" he trailed off and his eye's soften slightly as he embraced the girl with one arm as her sobs grew a little louder and she was holding on to him.
"I'll watch over you, until you return to where you belong" he thought to himself as the girl continue to cry on him.
