(A/N This whole story is written around the time Hitomi comes back from earth after spazing out on Van and the others after that episode where the port gets nuked and Dilandau changes back from being Celena at the grave. So if you start reading it and think like " When the hell did this happen?" Now you know.
Any way, this is kind of a D/H fic, which to be honest is a bit stretched at the best of times. Most D/H fics surround Hitomi changing her mind and joining up with the Dragon slayers or they are just AU fics. So in the interests of trying to make Original fan fiction for the people, I am going to try taking a slightly different approach to the pair. I mean V/H is pretty much unstoppable and I agree with it, but… there's always room for something else. Well, I'll see what you make of it.)
Just By The Redundant Goddess…-{X Part I X}-
As the sun fell over the vast city of Palas, Hitomi Kanzaki found her self slowly walking back to her lodgings at the palace of the Astons after a thorough jog and sprint session. Dressed in her running gear, she felt the chill of the descending night air nip at her long naked legs. She let her hands gently rub her shoulders and felt her emerald eyes gaze upwards at the odd, yet now, oh so familiar two mooned sky.
After being drawn from the earth once more to the world known to Gaia, Hitomi couldn't help but think of her homeland. She had woken up in that school infirmary just like before. Like it was just a dream, only to repeat the day she left all over again. To run again, to see her friends Imano and Yukari, to almost get her first kiss…
She shook her head as she drifted into the shadows of a dark street that would lead her to a back entrance of the exotic palace that had become her home. The Princess and Knight of Calei, Allen Schezar preferred that she came in that way. Hitomi didn't particularly care, in fact she was happy to go in the back way, for she knew if she were to go in through the grand gates at the front she would have to announce who she was, even though the guards knew her well.
"Who goes there?" A guard would cry.
"Hitomi Kanzaki of the Mystic Moon." She would always say. Her voice devoid of any emotion.
The young green-eyed girl hated having to say that. To declare whom she was. People would stop and stare at her, whisper. Mutter about her being cursed or having evil demonic powers that would lead to their world's destruction. It was awful, because somewhere deep down inside her, some of what they said behind her back rang true.
Ever since she had come to Gaia, her strange gift, her power of foresight had caused nothing but pain and anguish to her and all those around her. Not too mention a war that had engulfed all of the countries of Gaia. It was her fault that all the blood had been shed. So why did she come back? Was it for Van and to help get vengeance for his gutted homeland? Or was it for Allen, her off and on husband to be. Hitomi couldn't really decide. All she knew was that people needed her. They needed her gift and she would let them use it, if only to try and repay all damage she had done.
The young girl's heavy thoughts weighed down her whole body, causing her to walk slower than before. As she was neared the back door that was shrouded in shadows, she couldn't have cared less. All she knew was she was yet again entering something that would only cause her and her new found friends nothing but pain.
And as she entered the shadows and prepared to enter the place that caused her mind such turmoil she did not notice a presence behind her. Hitomi hands didn't even reach the gate before a sharp pain hit her full force on the back of her head. All went black… perhaps she was going to go home.
(A/N: This part was a bit short, I'll agree, but the next part is a hulluva lot longer and 3vil. In fact this was going to be just a chapter story, but since it was getting really long, 7,000+ words, I thought I should break it up into bite size chunks for ya. Any hoo, if you liked this part and want to read some more, just give me a bell and I'll boost my efforts into getting the second part up and running! So feel free to review down below and tell me what you think. So until later *much later by the looks of things* PIES!)
