Disclaimer: I'm really getting annoyed that I have to type this out. Look
to the first chapter.
A/N: A lot of peeps are really confused about what happened. Well, if you are, you should read like the entire chapter over. I don't want to sound mean but I laid it out to you so I think you should read it over. Plus, if you do, you can kinda get more intoned with the story and the details, like when you watch the Matrix the second time. Well, I think that this is really going to be my pride and joy of a story. When the school season starts again, then I think it will take a wee bit longer to get out more chapters but all in all, it will still be put out as fast as I humanly can. Well, here's the story.
--------------------------------------------------------
Chapter IX: Mended Hearts and Wounded Souls
--------------------------------------------------------
Life had been taken away from her body. She laid there, on the floor, her love's cold body resting against her. Two days had passed this way and she had barricaded the door. Everything had crashed down on her and her life ceased to exist. Every waning second seemed to drain out her sanity. She even started to have long conversations with him, even though he never responded. Her heart had shattered and beyond repair.
Her mother tried to come in and begged her to open the door but she refused. It was all repeating to her, the same thing that happened to Van. "I don't understand Van. Why doesn't anyone understand that I want to be with you?" she said as she stroked his frail black hair. She knew he was dead but it never hit her until now. His body would soon decay and she would have to bury him.
They had been transported back to Earth a few minutes after and she had landed in her room. For the two days, she had remained in the same spot, holding his corpse. "Someone help him please. Someone help us." she cried as she buried her face into his neck crying. He no longer smelled of he wonderful and fragrant fields, only of mildew and death. A hug came from behind her.
"Don't cry Hitomi. He's not truly gone to us." said a soft female voice. She turned around to a tall and elegant woman. Wearing a long black Grecian-style dress with golden chords, she had a circlet of braided gold adorning her head of long and wavy black hair. Deep and majestic burgundy eyes looked to her with the light of the stars twinkling in them.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" she asked. The woman knelt down to her and smiled. A large and intricate golden eye was set into her forehead and sparkled magically.
"I have come to help you and your love." she said with a smile. Hitomi hugged Van closer to her and looked to the stranger with fear.
"You are going to take him away from me aren't you?" she asked. The woman giggled and shook her head.
"I do separate you two, Fate commits that job. Lay him on the bed please. I can revive him." she said with perfect grace in her voice. Nodding, Hitomi did as she was told and looked to the woman.
Walking up to the bed, she looked to Van with affection. "Sym myn hoet niin dakalen Mondrael?" she asked in a foreign language. A single tear traced down her cheek, and she smiled. "Though I thought it would be so much longer." she continued in Gaean. She started to chant.
In katoe myn nakai... kit goen lanai mnt jym katle... I'm katoe im nakai...karel Escaflowne... God of the sky...
She knelt down and smiled. "Nakalani kal." she said. The woman lowered down and kissed him. Hitomi stood where she was in shock of what the woman was doing. Their bodies started to glow and a blinding red light started to emit from Van. Removing her hands from her eyes, Hitomi looked to them.
The woman had let go of the kiss and was sitting on the bed. Van was sitting up and looking at the woman. He looked like he knew her and he smiled to the woman happily. "Hintai kabun neskin tak?" he asked in a foreign language. He caressed her cheek and smiled.
"Jukai niintal eht tukuei?" she asked as she looked into his eyes. He nodded and smiled. Trying to kiss her, she turned and pushed Van away.
"Inhestia? Goet hetey?" he asked with concern. She shook her head and smiled.
"Laeost Mondrael. Kntala ciñasteñia es Arnin." she said sadly. He looked down and sighed.
"Gant ken luret hin mont Arnin." he said sadly. She kissed his cheek and smiled. Love shone from her kind eyes and she started to fade.
"Banstal Mondrael." she said and disappeared. Van blinked and looked around confused.
"Where in Gaea am I?" he asked. Looking to his hands, he noticed they were the normal tanned flesh that he was before. "And I'm back to normal. What's going on?" he asked. Looking to Hitomi, he smiled. He ran up and hugged her. "Hitomi I'm alive! I've missed you!" he said with a smile.
She gently pushed him away and looked to him puzzled. "Who is that girl?" she asked.
"Huh? I don't understand." he said.
"Don't lie to me Van. Who is she? Another one of your whores?" she asked angry.
He looked to her purely confused. "I really don't know who your talking about. I haven't seen another woman other than you since I was brought back alive." he said.
"You really don't remember, do you?" she asked. He shook his head. "Okay. I believe you Van."
His stomach grumbled and he laughed. "Is there anything to eat here? I'm dead famished." he said with a laugh. He looked her over and frowned. "You need to eat too Hitomi, you look so pale." he said.
She looked herself over and blushed. "Yeah, I guess so."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
She laid roses on the icy soil. Everyone had left the funeral to attend the wake but she didn't want to just sit and drink punch and cry. Crying was all that she did now. It was all she knew. It's like missing your right leg and you don't have anything to lean on. Nuriko Misami looked to her with a scowl. She had lost her son because he was worried about Hitomi's sudden absence from school. "It's all my fault. Why does fate destroy everyone I love." she said sadly.
Bending down, Hitomi shook with tears. Her hand brushed across the etched letters set into the smooth blend of marble and black granite. Love that was lost was set in stone.
Eriol Masami
Born: October 10 19...
Deceased: November 29 19...
A wonderful son and a cherished friend who will be forever loved and missed.
Stone... the haunting color of granite. The day was a cold gray and she hugged herself with sobs. Everything was a haunting shade of grays. Van was back at Gaea on his own business and her mother was having a second honeymoon with her father. Mamoru had Emily, a foreign exchange student from America and the were bonded to the hip. Even Nakami was with her new boyfriend Jason.
She slowly stood and looked around. All of the mourners were gone and she silently went off to her car. Sitting in the seat, the black dress gave her a drab feel on her skin, the way that you feel when cotton is rubbed on you too much. Her small cell phone sat in the glove compartment, the same phone that gave her the largest emotional crash she had.
It was the same day Van was brought back alive. Eriol had been driving to Hitomi's house to check up on her because she had shut herself off in her room. A drunken friend from school happened to drive behind him and rear ended his car. It lost control and spun off of the road and some fifty yards into a ditch. And he had died on his way to the hospital. Their friend, however, had run his car into a house and killed a nine-year-old girl as well. He had survived without a scratch and was caught and is in jail now, waiting for his trial.
Getting her senses together, Hitomi drove back to her house and walked into her empty house. Everyone was having fun and spending time with one another. She was left out of it all and it stung. It was just miserable in life and she missed having Eriol there when bad things had happened to her.
He was her only ray of happiness in her life and he did anything to please her. His short blue hair was always the point of her day. Whenever she wanted to, she would always give a playful tug on his bangs and he would freak. But his eyes were another story. They were a perfect gray, the only shad of ray she loved. They were deep and intense, yet they were increasingly shy. All she loved to do was to just stare into his eyes. Reassuring and mysterious, they were the most beautiful eyes she had ever been blessed to gaze upon. Now they were sealed off from her, his comforting being taken away from her.
"Hey Hitomi! Come over here!" he said cheerfully.
She smiled and ran up to him. He was by a large barn and he walked in.
"Stay there! It's a surprise!" he yelled from deep inside the barn. Shrugging, she sat on the log by the side of it. A small clopping of many feet came closer and a few soft words came from him and he walked out the large door. Trailing him was a large white and black spotted American Quarterhorse. It whinnied and snorted like it was only doing this because it would be fed after it all.
"Wow. It's beautiful Eriol!" she exclaimed. They both got on and rode around the soft countryside. She smiled and relished in the warm embrace he had on her. It was gentle and caring and she enjoyed it all.
"Eriol, I love you. Don't ever leave me okay?" she said with a sigh. A small kiss was placed on her cheek and he gave her a soft squeeze.
"I'll stay with you until the end of the Earth and beyond. As long as you need me, I'll be here for you." he said sincerely.
She took out the key from under the fish tank and looked to it meaningfully. It was the key to destruction, war, despair, and misfortunes. The key to eternal devotion. Just the feel of the brass key made her shake with nervousness. It was like quitting smoking and boxes of the best quality cigarettes are sitting right on your bed stand with a lighter. Biting her lip, she muttered, "This is the only way."
She walked over to her desk and stuck the key roughly into the slot and hesitated. Slowly turning it, the slow click of the lock rang into her ears and she pulled back the drawer anxiously. In there laid a solitary red box. The tin shone at her in defiance and magnificence. Reaching in, a cold chill swept up into her hand and iced her bones. It was the feel of power, mental power, the power of the stars in the sky.
Licking her lips, she quickly grabbed the box and slammed it onto the table quickly. Opening it, the long sheets of thick paper lay stacked. Pure evil to her. All they caused was misfortune and fighting. Whenever they were used for good, dire consequences were involved.
Her unsteady heart wasn't good for them, she was an undeserving card mistress and they hated her with a passion, using loopholes to create agonizing grief for her. Their true owner was who they were waiting for and this inferior woman's grandmother was a person oh so close to being able to wield the power.
She took them out and shuffled them. Each card dodging and weaving into their correct position. 'What will my destiny be? Will I ever be happy?' she asked the cards in her thoughts. Laying them out, she looked in confusion as the moon card was placed. It was as if it glowed and something stuck out from under it. "Huh? What's this?" she asked as she picked up the card.
A vision rattled inside of her. Van and another woman was wrapped up in thin covers, each crying out in soft pleasure. They clung to each other as he moved astride her, their bodies slick with sweat. The woman had ebony hair but her eyes were shut so she couldn't see. An intricate golden eye symbol was adorned on her forehead. Hitomi looked down to the cards in an open-mouthed shock. The two cards dropped together, snickering at her in her mind, The Moon and The Sun.
A/N: I have to say that I like this story and I'm really changing it all around. I have just taken off the big rant note at the end of this so if you really want it, feel free to e-mail me for it. Well, bye!
