No Longer Mine Chapter 4
Disclaimer: Look to chaps 1 and 2 --------------------------------
Well, sorry about the delay, not only did I have writers block but I was also struggling over lots of homework, a maths investigation, being ill and trying to write other fics at the same time. Nightmare-ish? You bet. Ok, well thanks for the reviews people! ^-^ The reviews are what I guess keeps the story from being carried on, or I'd think that no one would reading them, I'd lose interest and no story would be written. Ok I'll shut up and write now! R+R, onegai!!

"I'll try and send you home later ok?" Van mumbled, his face had gone back to they way it was, stony and hard. Hitomi nodded in agreement.but she had a feeling that she would be staying.a lot longer than she had expected.../i
Hitomi stood at the marble balcony, gazing at the lush forests of Fanelia, admiring the wildlife around her. The clear blue sky had not a trace of clouds, the sun shone brightly, beaming radiantly. The sound of horses galloping could be heard, Hitomi arched her head over the balcony looking out to see underneath. Little blotches were moving rapidly through the fortress. As they advanced closer Hitomi saw them a little better 'Knights arriving, their attire so familiar' She thought to herself. 'Of course, Asturian knights!' She mentally kicked herself for forgetting. The balcony was about seven storeys above the ground, looking down she saw a familiar flash of long blonde hair, blowing about in the wind. 'Allen?' She lifted herself onto the wall with no problem, to get a better look.
Someone was coming behind her, walking slowly, quietly, making minimum noise. Their arms moved up, raised to Hitomi's back...a strong push. Hitomi lost her balanced and fell, reaching out to grab hold of the stone pillar, but she could not, it was no longer in her reach.
"Arghhhhhhh......!!!!!!!!!!! Helllllpppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!" Hitomi had fallen, she had been pushed, the person who had pushed her...gone. Hitomi fell, further and further, praying to anyone that could hear her silently in her head.
'Please don't let me die, I don't want it to end like this. I understand I've done many wrongs in my life but I don't want it to end this way, I haven't lived life to the full yet, in fact if I died this way I'd never be able to say goodbye to the ones I love...' She squeezed her eyes shut as she fell, preparing to hit the ground. Opening her eyes, she had stopped falling, and ...she wasn't dead either. That didn't hurt and she didn't know the ground was that soft and tender to fall onto. Looking up she saw a pair of ocean blue eyes, she felt like she was swimming in them. A soft strand of blonde hair blew onto her face, snapping back to reality.
"Hitomi?! Are you alright?" Allen was looking at her, she was in his arms. He had caught her.
"Ah, oh...Allen, er, sorry?" Hitomi's cheeks flushed dark red. "Thank you for catching me, I hope I didn't hurt you."
"Not at all, my pleasure." Allen gave her one of his most dazzling smiles and her heart melted there and then. Peering behind him she saw a girl, about her age, with green eyes similar to her own, sparkling with anticipation. She noticed the girl had, slightly curly grey hair and her features, very oddly reminded her of Dilandau.
'Strangely enough, I'd probably be happy to see Dilandau right now actually,' Hitomi thought to herself, 'even Dilandau's face is more friendly than Van's at this moment.'
"You haven't met my sister have you Hitomi?" Allen smiled, pointing to the grey-haired girl behind him. "This is Selena, she's the same age as you."
"Oh, nice to meet you Selena, I've heard a bit about you." Hitomi put on a friendly smile, extending her hand for a shake. The girl looked blankly back at her, staring at her strange action. Feeling like an idiot Hitomi withdrew her hand again. "I forgot, you people don't shake. "
"Nice to meet you too Hitomi, I've heard a lot about you. Allen constantly talks about you." Selena laughed as she got playful nudges from her brother.
"Well, now that we're all acquainted with each other, does Van know you're here?" Hitomi asked, turning to Allen.
Van emerged from behind Allen, his rich shirt in shreds, his chest was practically bare. An undecipherable look upon his face; was it anger?
"Allen. Good to see you're here." Van smiled, his teeth gritted.
Hitomi glanced at Van nervously, what was the matter with him? Remembering she was still in Allen's arms, being cradled like a baby she jumped up awkwardly, apologising and thanking at the same time in a muddle.
"Well, Van, long time no see, how's life?" Allen laughed casually, "How come you didn't tell me Hitomi had come back. You little rogue, keeping Hitomi all to yourself.
Van's face visibly paled, one hand running through his slick black hair he avoided the subject.
As Van ushered Allen and the other knights into the Castle Hitomi stood dazed, it had just occurred to her. The look upon Van's face wasn't anger...it was jealousy. 'Why Van?" She wondered, like she would ever know.
A certain little cat girl sat on the rooftops of the Castle staring down at the broken Hitomi, "Oh Hitomi, if only you could have seen how Van flew down from the study tower to save you, if only. If only you'd have seen the look on his face...he really does care for you still..."
A/N: Well, what do you people think? Please read and review, I've been brain dead, I'll try and write the next chapter as soon as possible.
