His body felt heavy, the soft murmurs of voices were close, he could also feel the presence of another. Tiredly he slowly maneuvered around finding his company in silence as he sat up abruptly.

Three sorcerers, Chesta and Folken. He could still sense a deep pain with in his chest, a heart trenching emotion as though any minute now he would find himself rolling over and dying. The feeling was enough to make someone go mad.

Raising his free hand, he placed it over his heart and gasping to himself as he felt the beating of another heart. Two heartbeats? Panic shrouded Chesta's form as he rushed to his masters side, Dilandau met his worried slayers eyes. What was happening?

Again he had felt it, the low thudding of another heart beside his own as if someone else was sharing his body with him. Suddenly the slow thudding stopped as if it had secede to begin with, and a new feeling of horror rose to Dilandau's pale demeanor. He could feel his eyes starting to roll into the back of his head and his body beginning to convulse. What was happening to him?

**~**~**

Vaguely he could hear voices in panic, movement all around him and then, a feeling of complete warmth. A warmth that spread over his entire body, a warmth that came from the middle of his chest. Suddenly he felt something hard pushing into him, he tried to regain consciousness, but something was slowing his movement.

Now he felt it again, the same thrust, the same as before but something was different. The second thudding in his chest returned and a feeling of utter pain shot through him. An aguish so great, that only death could ease the pain.

His blurry eyes began to take focus, someone was hovering over him. Someone oddly familiar…

A gasp swiftly came over him and there he was plain as day, Van.

**~**~**

The sight of him made Dilandau's heart raced in his chest, he struggled to gain control, wondering why his body was not responding to his wishes. It was if he were paralyzed or something and what the hell was Van doing here?!

He closed his eyes immediately regaining control of his body and lunging forward to strike Van down.

However when he did realize who he was strangling confusion fled to his face and a very horrified Chesta was begging him to come to his senses.

**~**~**

Folken had sent him to his room. Of all the nerve, Dilandau was ready to strike out at the next moving object. Unfortunately that was the uneasy slayer who had stepped in to check with his master.

"Chesta.. Get. Out. Of. HERE!" Dilandau roared.

Chesta gulped but stayed instead of doing what he was told. At this Dilandau began to laugh, and laugh insanely. The mere sight of his master going crazy drove the young slayer from the room. Then and only then Dilandau began to question his own sanity,

"What the hell is going on..?" He murmured to himself.

"I would also like to know, Dilandau." Came a voice from behind the confused general.

"Folken." The albino growled. "Get the hell out of here."

The blue haired man chuckled and seated himself at a near by table. Dilandau watched as the older man poured a glass of vino for himself and raised his glass to him in a toast.

He took a sip of the red liquid and returned his gaze towards the young general. His eyes turned cold as he threw the glass at the albino across from him,

"What is the meaning of this, Dilandau? Capturing the enemy and then sleeping with them? Is this some kind of new hobby for you? Will you be sleeping with my brother next?!" He watched the anger rise and fall in the eyes of boy across from him. "You have better have a good explanation for this."

Dilandau sat in complete silence. His eyes just as emotionless as his facial figure. Folken then got up and walked towards the door, he stopped before he left completely.

"Dilandau I will be expecting a full explanation for this by the end of today." With that he left the albino to his thoughts.

It was a long and tiring process, but she finally had a heartbeat. At this Van was both physically and mentally tired, but he finally had her back.

**~**~**

Now he watched over her once again; Millerna had said that she was stable and quiet possibly would wake within the day. This was both pleasing and agonizing. What if her heart stopped again? What then? Sighing Van sat cross-legged next to her futon.

**~**~**

He remembered getting up and moving next to her, but when he woke up he was laying next to her and she was awake. Her dead lifeless eyes no longer staring off into the distance, but now drearily glistening with life. She gave him a weak smile and a small hi.

Van smiled back, finally he had his Hitomi back. His Hitomi.. Sitting up straight he gently pulled Hitomi towards him, he could tell the movement had hurt her as she visibly cringed. But his being this close to her seemed to calm and silence her hissing breath. Tenderly he cupped her cheek in his hands and placed a delicate kiss on her forehead.

"Never again will I let anything happen to you.." Van silently whispered.

Many hours had the young general took to consider what explanation he could give to Folken. It had been completely mind bending to think of such an excuse to give to his Lord.

Pacing, Dilandau had thought that possibly if he told Folken what real purpose he wanted with the girl, then just maybe, just maybe he could…

Wait, what was he thinking!? He couldn't go after her, damn that woman! Turning his brain to mush, making him want her. No way in hell was he going to put himself at anymore risk for that vixen. However that night, Dilandau found himself marching up to Folken and demanding the use of his men in another capturing. Dilandau would not take no for an answer, he was going to have that woman if it killed him.

Nevertheless Folken obliged the crazed albino in his mission and left the love sick general to his planning.

(AN: Duh, dun, DUN! Uh-oh, Dilly's gunna do something stupid.. Well I gotta tell ya I'm sorry this took so long and I personally was forcing myself to get it done. However I will be leaving on the 19th, (this Friday) I'll be away for about 2 weeks. During this time I would like to inform you that I've figured out how to end this ever ending story. Personally the idea came from a friend of mine, who doesn't like the anime itself, but her idea was.. Well excellent and the next chapter of "Captured" Will be its last. I'll be writing all this week and if possibly I'll try and get it out before I go. If not then you'll get it when I return. Arg.. So umm.. Yeah and um.. That's all.)
