Love Concurs all Demons by Firebird Phoenix
The morning sun cast it's heavenly rays upon the sleeping city, blissfully unaware of the monsters that walk its streets under the safety of the night. Hitomi stood upon a roof top watching the sun raise, filled with sorrow that her true love couldn't be here too enjoy this moment with her. A light breeze blew past Hitomi ever so gently, it's warmth almost made her forget she was a vampire. She could hear the birds singing in the distance, a herd of deer grazing in some unknown field in the eastern forest, it's oak and pine trees were tall and strong with moss two feet long hanging off the branches. Her thoughts drifted back to her sleeping love, all the wonderful times they had together laughing, enjoying each others company.
'Merle, Allen, Millerna, and Dryden all of my wonderful friends here on Gaea not to mention my family and friends back on earth, Mom, Dad, and my annoying Brother all sitting back on earth worried to death I'm sure. Not knowing if I'm ok, hurt, or even dead. But I am dead I don't breath, eat, or have a pulse, all because of one man who seems determined for me to join him. But why; What makes me so different that I have to be the one who joins him, there are other girls in the world who are better then I more beautiful and smarter, why am I so different? Xerxes is a stalker who just wont give up. But what of Allen I have to think of a way to get him out of Xerxes's control, but Xerxes is so strong what am I to do?' The day slowly turned to night and Van was now able to come out.
"Hitomi have you been here all day?" asked Van sitting down next to her on the roof.
"Yea I have, I've been trying to figure out a way to defeat Xerxes and get Allen back, but I'm sad to say I haven't thought of any." Hitomi started to breakdown and cry.
"Why did this have to happen to me Van? What did I ever do to deserve this? Did I destroy some civilisation in a past life or what?" Van hugged Hitomi close to his heart trying to comfort her.
"That is it I've had enough of Xerxes and his join me ways we are hunting him down and killing him tonight." Said Van clenching his fist. He helped Hitomi to her feet and they started their search. They began searching the forests for some signs of him, searching for hours feasting on dear to subsidise their hunger, stopping for a rest just outside the old castle of Freid.
"Lets face it Van, Xerxes has a floating ship, How are we going to find a floating ship?" asked Hitomi getting sceptical if they will ever find Xerxes ship.
"Maybe we'll get lucky and his ship will appear above us?" said Van trying to keep his spirits up.
"Or we could follow one of his minions." Said Hitomi watching a group of five walked through the ruins of Freid, a sixth soon joined them he was tall and with blond hair it was there old friend Allen.
"Allen." Hitomi whispered. Hitomi started to grow angry watching Allen doing Xerxes dirty work, his puppet.
"I'm going to free Allen." Said Hitomi in a cold and heartless voice.
"How, Hitomi?" asked Van perplexed.
"I'm going to look into Allen's mind and break Xerxes control." Said Hitomi looking at Van's pale undead body, looking at him brought tears to Hitomi's eyes. She never wanted this she should have never come here looking for her pendant; she could have easily lived in the darkness, she could have continued to drink blood from the blood bank. But no because of her selfishness Van was damned to be a slave of the night for all eternity, she could take her being damned but Van. Not Van he meant everything to her how could she do this to him, he put up a front that he's glad she came. He even told her so but she had to wonder was he really glad she came or was it all just an act, what would happen if there was no way to turn them back to human, would he despise her, try to kill her she just had to wonder. She will never be rid of the guilt for Van being turned into a vampire, but she was gong to make everything right and defeat Xerxes and some how find a way to turn them back into humans.
*~~~*
Hitomi and Van quietly crept down to the camp were the soldiers slept, luckily Allen slept outside under the stars. Hitomi reached into Allen's mind and made sure he wasn't going to wake up, Van picked up Allen with his vampire strength, swung him over his shoulder and the two crept back out of the camp. The two cursed lovers ran though the night forest until they felt it was safe enough from the other soldiers.
"Quickly Van, tie his hands he will soon wake up and he is still under Xerxes control." Van tied Allen's hands for a split second he stopped and forgot why he was doing it and almost let him go. Hitomi put her icy hand on her loves shoulder understanding Van's hesitation if she didn't know beter she too would have stopped and let Allen go.
"He my look like our friend Van but his mind is not." Said Hitomi sounding warm and compassionate.
"Yea I know Hitomi, it's just hard to believe that this is real and not some horrible nightmare." Said Van his voice shallow and cold.
"I know Van, I know." Were Hitomi's only words of comfort, she went through this time as well it would pass soon enough.
"Alright, I'm going into Allen's mind now. It will be easier then to do it when he's awake." Said Hitomi taking a sitting position.
"Ok. Be careful." Hitomi nodded. Hitomi went deep into Allen's mind hopefully to return their beloved friend back to his senses. Hitomi appeared in a dark endless void with no beginning and no end as she began to walk about, images of Allen's life started to take form in large bubbles, Hitomi watched as Allen grew up, feel in love and meet her. In the corner of her eye she noticed something out of place, only seeing it because the light from the memories was imitating the edges, it was a large hole Hitomi couldn't see the botem but could hear someone breathing. Going against her better judgement Hitomi jumped into the hole, falling for what seemed like forever, she hit the botem, it was large filled with other memories one was how Xerxes captured him.
Flashback:
Allen was riding through the countryside all the searches for Van had come up empty, he decided to take matters into his own hands and find Van himself, night and day he search but found nothing but he wasn't going to give up he will find Van. And besides if he returned without him Merle would turn him into a scratching post. Allen was resting by a crystal clear lake the birds were singing and the wind was playing with leafs, the sun had set and the stars were starting to come out. A figure had come out of the bushes and began she talk with Allen.
"Good evening Sir." Said Xerxes, wearing a long black cape reaching past his knees, wearing black pants and shirt underneath.
"Good evening." Said Allen, taking note of the man's odd paleness and his hypnotic eyes.
"What brings you so far from civilisation sir?" asked Xerxes trying to gain Allen's trust hopefully to drink his blood. Thinking of the blood, this human was taking for granted made Xerxes's mouth drool.
"I'm searching for someone." Said Allen testing this man's reaction to see if he knew anything about Van's disappearance.
"Oh dear, will I for one have not seen anyone besides yourself sir." Said Xerxes in a calm and chilling voice.
"I see. Well I think you for your time but I must take my leave of you, to continue searching for my friend." Said Allen giving him a slight bow in respect, before Allen could leave into the safety of the forest Xerxes stopped and asked him in a hypnotic voice.
"Who are you searching for?" asked Xerxes in a low voice. As if in a sleep deprived state Allen answers in a bland voice.
"King Van of Fanelia." A twisted and sly smile grew on Xerxes lips. More sinister plans filled his mind this just killing this human.
'With Van and Hitomi as my prisoners, I can use this human if Hitomi or Van try and do anything stupid.'
"Now lesson up human, you are mine, you do what I want when I want understood?" said Xerxes in his chilling cold voice.
"Yes master." Said Allen in an emotionless bland voice.
End Flashback:
The bubble containing the memory began to rise up out of the hole Hitomi just jumped in moments ago.
"So that's how it happened, this nightmare for Allen was started because of Van and I no wonder he would attack us who could blame him." Real human tears started to trickle down Hitomi's cheeks; she fell to her knees holding her icy arms and cried, but she heard the rattling of chains coming from somewhere in the darkness. The light from another bubble gave some light to the pitch black; it illuminated a figure chained to the ground. Going on her gut instinct she ran over to the figure who ever it may be and began pulling on the chains hopefully to free the individual but to avail the chains wouldn't budge. Now frantic to release whom ever is trapped she unknowingly yanked her pendant off her neck and raised it above her head as if to strike something. Suddenly the pendant blasted a brilliant while light, which illuminated the entire void banishing all the darkness. Now transformed into the legendary Draconian sword able to defeat any evil, unable to see anything else Hitomi struck the chains binding the stranger, thus releasing another blast of light so powerful it pushed her back. Ones the light died Hitomi stood in a beautiful field.
"This field fells filmier like I've seen it before but where? Of course! I saw this place in a vision, this is where Allen last saw his little sister." Said Hitomi aloud not expecting anyone to hear her.
"Thank you Hitomi." she spun around apon hear her name Allen was standing behind her.
'He must have been the figure chained down.' Said thought.
"You saved my from that nightmare Hitomi, and I can never repay you for that." Said Allen his eyes now filled with emotions so many; it was hard to tell.
"I didn't do it for payment Allen. I did because you are my friend." Said Hitomi defending her self from the idea that she wants payment.
"You always did have a kind heart Hitomi, it's a true shame I never won It." said Allen with a hit of sorrow in his voice.
*~~~*
Hitomi woke up with Van keeling over her concern in his eyes; Hitomi smiled up at him.
"I did it I freed Allen." Said Hitomi with great pride, which she should have not anybody could over come the human mind and bring back her friend. Hitomi looked down and the sword she used to break Allen's chains was in her hand its blade was a crystal red and its handle was pure gold.
'With this sword I shall defeat Xerxes with the help of my friends.' Thought Hitomi smiling at the tool that would bring the downfall of the vampire Xerxes. After a brief welcome back Van, Hitomi, and Allen set off to destroy Xerxes.
*~~~*
Resting along side a lake for a short time Hitomi was sitting upon a rock with her bear foot in the unusually worm water.
"You are vary lucky Van." Said Allen turning to face him.
"Why is that Allen?" asked Van curious on how he how is considered lucky.
"You have won Hitomi's heart, a feet not easily done my friend." Said Allen in an almost jealous voice.
"It wasn't a race Allen, Hitomi and I were meant for each other," said Van lightly mad that Allen would think of Hitomi loving Van like some great feet.
"I know that know, I feel almost foolish to have ever quart her." Said Allen honesty ringing in the young Knight of Heaven's voice.
"It was foolish, Hitomi is amazing woman anyone would have tried to win her heart." Van spoke with passion and care even thought Allen was a ladies man he was still Van's friend and that meant something.
"Yes, you are right my friend. But lets not focus on the past and it sorrows we must find Xerxes and destroy him before it is to late." Allen spoke rising himself up and mounting his horse. Van looked up at his friend with respect and honour.
"Hitomi, we should get going." Called Van to one true love, the light that keeps him from the dark, the warmth he feels just thinking of her.
*~~~*
The three riders continued to look for the demon Xerxes, the sun would rise in two hours Van and Hitomi were started to worry the were out on the edge of a merciless desert, little shade would be found along the scattered tree which form the forest line. Out of pure luck Xerxes ship was hiding behind one of the sand dunes, thinking it was too good to be true Allen, Hitomi, and Van slowly crept up upon the ship. The hole on which the ship rested with in was quite deep and it would be difficult to get in unnoticed. They fell back to think of a plan on which to get in and kill Xerxes.
"Do you hear that?" asked Hitomi and her super sensitive hearing.
"It sounds like sand shifting." Said Van trying to identify the odd sound. Hitomi walked up to the top of the sand dune careful not to be seen. Surprise and worry painted on Hitomi face.
"We have got to move this ship is taking off!" yelled Hitomi down to her friend and lover, Van and Allen quickly rushed up to Hitomi and saw it for them selves. The ship was slowly beginning to lift up. The three were panicking who knows when they would get another chance like this. With either genus or stupidity Allen just abroad threw the door to let the mobile suits out following his lead Van and Hitomi followed, they all expected to be rushed by soldiers but none were in the bay in fact everything was quiet deathly quite. Neither Van nor Hitomi could hear anything sounding alive they began to slowly walk threw hall and looking threw the room no one was found which was puzzling, who was fly the ship? Suddenly Allen found one room pitch dark and it stank like something rotting, covering his mouth he looked inside laying there in plies there the missing men drained of all there blood. Allen told Van not to let Hitomi see this disgust Allen shut the door and they continued searching for Xerxes. Entering the living room the found Xerxes staring into the fire with only dimly lit candles giving them light.
"So you've come to destroy me have you? Is this the thanks you give me for giving you the gift of immortality?" said Xerxes throwing class of wine into the fire causing it to grow more intensely.
"You cursed me Xerxes becoming a vampire is not nor ever will be a gift." Spat Hitomi at the vermin Xerxes. Xerxes turned to look at them he wore black pants tucked into tall back boots, with a blood red shirt, and a blue vest. He picked up his sword sitting in the mantle of the fireplace.
"I hope you are prepared to die." Spoke Xerxes with such an evil voice it could wither a flower.
"We shall see who dies tonight Xerxes." All three charged Xerxes using his super speed he dodged all three attacks, Xerxes moved behind Allen and tried to square him threw the stomach but Allen was able to move in time but was stuck in the leg rendering him unable to walk let alone fight. Van and Hitomi fought side by side as Xerxes was starting to weaken and pushed back he grabbed Hitomi's sword ones pendant and threw it across the room with out her noticing. Hitomi suddenly become disgusted with her self when she realised what she had become Van was continuing the attack but Hitomi had stopped. Xerxes pushed Van back against the wall.
"Why did I ever turn you Hitomi? You've rejected me sense day one you should be punished. But along as you have your true love with you, nothing I give you would truly to the damage I want. I know." Said Xerxes a wicked smile growing on his lips.
"I release you Van you are no longer a vampire." Van skin changed back to it normal living shade and all the powers going along with being a vampire were gone. Xerxes smiled baring his fangs and began to laugh in triumph.
"How will your love survive this Hitomi? As he ages you will remain ageless; when he dies you will remain. Can you live with that? Surely when he grows older he will begin to curse you and hate you for being ageless then we shall see what will become of the happy couple." Xerxes laughed evilly as the impacted of it all set in, Hitomi's legs became weak and she slowly descended to the ground her gentle soul being crushed. Van watched as his loves soul slowly died and he wouldn't have it, he couldn't live with out her, he lost her ones he wont lose her again. Van noticed something in the corner of his eye, threw one of the small holes in the boarded up windows a small beam of sunlight was shinning threw with all it's might. Thinking with his heart and not his head Van charged at Xerxes with no weapons who was to besy laughing to noticed him coming Van tackled Xerxes pushed Xerxes and himself out one of the boarded window into the warmth of the morning sun. Xerxes screamed in pain as his skin was being burn up by the sun, he watch as his body was turned to dust thus being the end the vampire Xerxes.
*~~~*
When Hitomi saw Van go threw the window her heart took over and she forgot that he was a Draconian she raced after her love jumping into the sunlight, burning her skin she still perused Van. Hitomi caught up with Van quickly and moved so that her body would take the full force of the impact.
Van felt Hitomi burning skin on his he opened his eyes and seen the face of his one true love looking back at him, his wings burst threw his shirt letting feathers rain down from the sky. The two lovers safely landed on the ground and Van franticly started to look for a place for Hitomi to hide but there was nothing Van began to cry rivers of tears as he watched his one true love die. Tears fell on Hitomi's facing looking like she too was crying human tears.
"Van." Spoke Hitomi quietly Van looked down at her, her body wasn't burning anymore but slowly disappearing.
"No Hitomi, please don't go.. I can't live lose you forever." Said Van between sobs; Van eyes were blood shot from his crying.
"It's ok Van it doesn't hurt anymore." Said Hitomi weakly, disappearing more and more with every passing minuet.
"Van promise me.... Promise you will fall in love again." Said Hitomi almost unable to say the words.
"No I will never love again, you are my one true love." said Van shaking his head.
"I want you to be happy." Hitomi managed to chock out.
"I will love again Hitomi I promise." Said Van looking away for only a moment. Hitomi smiled happily.
"I..love..you." were Hitomi's last words before to faded completely. Van clenched his fists and pounding on the sand lifting his hand up to the sky Van screamed in agony and pain.
"WHICH EVER GOD IS UP THERE BRING HER BACK! OR YOU WILL HAVE ME AS AN ENEMY FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE!" Van yelled to the heavens, nothing happened in a moment of grief Van found a small knife behind his back he raised it above his chest with intentions to stab himself. Van couldn't live without the chance to see Hitomi, hear her laugh, smell her hair look into her bright green eyes. But before Van could stab himself he heard Hitomi voice.
"Don't you keep your promises Van, you promised me you would fall in love again not kill your self. And they say women are drama queens." With tears in his eyes Van watched as Hitomi began to come back first he could see right threw her then she became solid with the right skin color she was alive again. Van embarrassed her in his arms planing to never let her go.
"You..... came..... back." Was all Van managed to say. He looked her in the eyes and felt her check making sure she was there.
"He said it wasn't my time I've have more to do and I think you had something to do with it, I came back as a human but I still have the powers of a vampire except the ageless part." Said Hitomi with tears forming in her eyes.
"I wouldn't care if you came back as a ghost as long as you came back." Said Van whom was then taken in by the most personate kiss of all time and all races.
*~~~*
Not long after Van and Hitomi got married the wedding was the largest Gaea had ever seen even Hitomi's family and friends were there, after Hitomi had explained all about Gaea, the war, and how she and Van meant and Xerxes. Hitomi's father had questioned Van extensively to make sure that this man was right for his little girl. After the wedding and it was time to go home Hitomi's mother wouldn't leave so Her mother, father and brat brother moved to Gaea and lives not far from Hitomi and Van. Soon Hitomi and Van was blessed with two children a boy named Falken with Hitomi hair color but Van hair stile and Hitomi's green eyes and a girl named Emoko with Van's hair color but Hitomi hair stile and Van's red eyes.

Xerxes is a stalker who just wont give up. But what of Allen I have to think of a way to get him out of Xerxes's control, but Xerxes is so strong what am I to do?' The day slowly turned to night and Van was now able to come out.
"Hitomi have you been here all day?" asked Van sitting down next to her on the roof.
"Yea I have, I've been trying to figure out a way to defeat Xerxes and get Allen back, but I'm sad to say I haven't thought of any." Hitomi started to breakdown and cry.

"Allen." Hitomi whispered. Hitomi started to grow angry watching Allen doing Xerxes dirty work, his puppet.
"I'm going to free Allen." Said Hitomi in a cold and heartless voice.
"How, Hitomi?" asked Van perplexed.
"I'm going to look into Allen's mind and break Xerxes control." Said Hitomi looking at Van's pale undead body, looking at him brought tears to Hitomi's eyes. She never wanted this she should have never come here looking for her pendant; she could have easily lived in the darkness, she could have continued to drink blood from the blood bank.

She will never be rid of the guilt for Van being turned into a vampire, but she was gong to make everything right and defeat Xerxes and some how find a way to turn them back into humans.

Hitomi and Van quietly crept down to the camp were the soldiers slept, luckily Allen slept outside under the stars. Hitomi reached into Allen's mind and made sure he wasn't going to wake up, Van picked up Allen with his vampire strength, swung him over his shoulder and the two crept back out of the camp. The two cursed lovers ran though the night forest until they felt it was safe enough from the other soldiers.
"Quickly Van, tie his hands he will soon wake up and he is still under Xerxes control." Van tied Allen's hands for a split second he stopped and forgot why he was doing it and almost let him go. Hitomi put her icy hand on her loves shoulder understanding Van's hesitation if she didn't know beter she too would have stopped and let Allen go.
"He my look like our friend Van but his mind is not." Said Hitomi sounding warm and compassionate.
"Yea I know Hitomi, it's just hard to believe that this is real and not some horrible nightmare." Said Van his voice shallow and cold.
"I know Van, I know." Were Hitomi's only words of comfort, she went through this time as well it would pass soon enough.
"Alright, I'm going into Allen's mind now. It will be easier then to do it when he's awake." Said Hitomi taking a sitting position.
"Ok. Be careful." Hitomi nodded. Hitomi went deep into Allen's mind hopefully to return their beloved friend back to his senses. Hitomi appeared in a dark endless void with no beginning and no end as she began to walk about, images of Allen's life started to take form in large bubbles, Hitomi watched as Allen grew up, feel in love and meet her. In the corner of her eye she noticed something out of place, only seeing it because the light from the memories was imitating the edges, it was a large hole Hitomi couldn't see the botem but could hear someone breathing. Going against her better judgement Hitomi jumped into the hole, falling for what seemed like forever, she hit the botem, it was large filled with other memories one was how Xerxes captured him.

"I'm searching for someone." Said Allen testing this man's reaction to see if he knew anything about Van's disappearance.
"Oh dear, will I for one have not seen anyone besides yourself sir." Said Xerxes in a calm and chilling voice.
"I see. Well I think you for your time but I must take my leave of you, to continue searching for my friend." Said Allen giving him a slight bow in respect, before Allen could leave into the safety of the forest Xerxes stopped and asked him in a hypnotic voice.

"Now lesson up human, you are mine, you do what I want when I want understood?" said Xerxes in his chilling cold voice.
"Yes master." Said Allen in an emotionless bland voice.
End Flashback:
The bubble containing the memory began to rise up out of the hole Hitomi just jumped in moments ago.
"So that's how it happened, this nightmare for Allen was started because of Van and I no wonder he would attack us who could blame him." Real human tears started to trickle down Hitomi's cheeks; she fell to her knees holding her icy arms and cried, but she heard the rattling of chains coming from somewhere in the darkness. The light from another bubble gave some light to the pitch black; it illuminated a figure chained to the ground. Going on her gut instinct she ran over to the figure who ever it may be and began pulling on the chains hopefully to free the individual but to avail the chains wouldn't budge. Now frantic to release whom ever is trapped she unknowingly yanked her pendant off her neck and raised it above her head as if to strike something. Suddenly the pendant blasted a brilliant while light, which illuminated the entire void banishing all the darkness. Now transformed into the legendary Draconian sword able to defeat any evil, unable to see anything else Hitomi struck the chains binding the stranger, thus releasing another blast of light so powerful it pushed her back. Ones the light died Hitomi stood in a beautiful field.
"This field fells filmier like I've seen it before but where? Of course! I saw this place in a vision, this is where Allen last saw his little sister." Said Hitomi aloud not expecting anyone to hear her.
"Thank you Hitomi." she spun around apon hear her name Allen was standing behind her.
'He must have been the figure chained down.' Said thought.
"You saved my from that nightmare Hitomi, and I can never repay you for that." Said Allen his eyes now filled with emotions so many; it was hard to tell.
"I didn't do it for payment Allen. I did because you are my friend." Said Hitomi defending her self from the idea that she wants payment.
"You always did have a kind heart Hitomi, it's a true shame I never won It." said Allen with a hit of sorrow in his voice.
*~~~*
Hitomi woke up with Van keeling over her concern in his eyes; Hitomi smiled up at him.
"I did it I freed Allen." Said Hitomi with great pride, which she should have not anybody could over come the human mind and bring back her friend. Hitomi looked down and the sword she used to break Allen's chains was in her hand its blade was a crystal red and its handle was pure gold.
'With this sword I shall defeat Xerxes with the help of my friends.' Thought Hitomi smiling at the tool that would bring the downfall of the vampire Xerxes. After a brief welcome back Van, Hitomi, and Allen set off to destroy Xerxes.
*~~~*
Resting along side a lake for a short time Hitomi was sitting upon a rock with her bear foot in the unusually worm water.
"You are vary lucky Van." Said Allen turning to face him.
"Why is that Allen?" asked Van curious on how he how is considered lucky.
"You have won Hitomi's heart, a feet not easily done my friend." Said Allen in an almost jealous voice.
"It wasn't a race Allen, Hitomi and I were meant for each other," said Van lightly mad that Allen would think of Hitomi loving Van like some great feet.
"I know that know, I feel almost foolish to have ever quart her." Said Allen honesty ringing in the young Knight of Heaven's voice.
"It was foolish, Hitomi is amazing woman anyone would have tried to win her heart." Van spoke with passion and care even thought Allen was a ladies man he was still Van's friend and that meant something.
"Yes, you are right my friend. But lets not focus on the past and it sorrows we must find Xerxes and destroy him before it is to late." Allen spoke rising himself up and mounting his horse. Van looked up at his friend with respect and honour.
"Hitomi, we should get going." Called Van to one true love, the light that keeps him from the dark, the warmth he feels just thinking of her.

The three riders continued to look for the demon Xerxes, the sun would rise in two hours Van and Hitomi were started to worry the were out on the edge of a merciless desert, little shade would be found along the scattered tree which form the forest line. Out of pure luck Xerxes ship was hiding behind one of the sand dunes, thinking it was too good to be true Allen, Hitomi, and Van slowly crept up upon the ship. The hole on which the ship rested with in was quite deep and it would be difficult to get in unnoticed. They fell back to think of a plan on which to get in and kill Xerxes.
"Do you hear that?" asked Hitomi and her super sensitive hearing.
"It sounds like sand shifting." Said Van trying to identify the odd sound. Hitomi walked up to the top of the sand dune careful not to be seen. Surprise and worry painted on Hitomi face.
"We have got to move this ship is taking off!" yelled Hitomi down to her friend and lover, Van and Allen quickly rushed up to Hitomi and saw it for them selves. The ship was slowly beginning to lift up. The three were panicking who knows when they would get another chance like this. With either genus or stupidity Allen just abroad threw the door to let the mobile suits out following his lead Van and Hitomi followed, they all expected to be rushed by soldiers but none were in the bay in fact everything was quiet deathly quite. Neither Van nor Hitomi could hear anything sounding alive they began to slowly walk threw hall and looking threw the room no one was found which was puzzling, who was fly the ship? Suddenly Allen found one room pitch dark and it stank like something rotting, covering his mouth he looked inside laying there in plies there the missing men drained of all there blood. Allen told Van not to let Hitomi see this disgust Allen shut the door and they continued searching for Xerxes. Entering the living room the found Xerxes staring into the fire with only dimly lit candles giving them light.
"So you've come to destroy me have you? Is this the thanks you give me for giving you the gift of immortality?" said Xerxes throwing class of wine into the fire causing it to grow more intensely.
"You cursed me Xerxes becoming a vampire is not nor ever will be a gift." Spat Hitomi at the vermin Xerxes. Xerxes turned to look at them he wore black pants tucked into tall back boots, with a blood red shirt, and a blue vest. He picked up his sword sitting in the mantle of the fireplace.
"I hope you are prepared to die." Spoke Xerxes with such an evil voice it could wither a flower.
"We shall see who dies tonight Xerxes." All three charged Xerxes using his super speed he dodged all three attacks, Xerxes moved behind Allen and tried to square him threw the stomach but Allen was able to move in time but was stuck in the leg rendering him unable to walk let alone fight. Van and Hitomi fought side by side as Xerxes was starting to weaken and pushed back he grabbed Hitomi's sword ones pendant and threw it across the room with out her noticing. Hitomi suddenly become disgusted with her self when she realised what she had become Van was continuing the attack but Hitomi had stopped. Xerxes pushed Van back against the wall.
"Why did I ever turn you Hitomi? You've rejected me sense day one you should be punished. But along as you have your true love with you, nothing I give you would truly to the damage I want. I know." Said Xerxes a wicked smile growing on his lips.
"I release you Van you are no longer a vampire." Van skin changed back to it normal living shade and all the powers going along with being a vampire were gone. Xerxes smiled baring his fangs and began to laugh in triumph.
"How will your love survive this Hitomi? As he ages you will remain ageless; when he dies you will remain. Can you live with that? Surely when he grows older he will begin to curse you and hate you for being ageless then we shall see what will become of the happy couple." Xerxes laughed evilly as the impacted of it all set in, Hitomi's legs became weak and she slowly descended to the ground her gentle soul being crushed. Van watched as his loves soul slowly died and he wouldn't have it, he couldn't live with out her, he lost her ones he wont lose her again. Van noticed something in the corner of his eye, threw one of the small holes in the boarded up windows a small beam of sunlight was shinning threw with all it's might. Thinking with his heart and not his head Van charged at Xerxes with no weapons who was to besy laughing to noticed him coming Van tackled Xerxes pushed Xerxes and himself out one of the boarded window into the warmth of the morning sun. Xerxes screamed in pain as his skin was being burn up by the sun, he watch as his body was turned to dust thus being the end the vampire Xerxes.
*~~~*
When Hitomi saw Van go threw the window her heart took over and she forgot that he was a Draconian she raced after her love jumping into the sunlight, burning her skin she still perused Van. Hitomi caught up with Van quickly and moved so that her body would take the full force of the impact.
Van felt Hitomi burning skin on his he opened his eyes and seen the face of his one true love looking back at him, his wings burst threw his shirt letting feathers rain down from the sky. The two lovers safely landed on the ground and Van franticly started to look for a place for Hitomi to hide but there was nothing Van began to cry rivers of tears as he watched his one true love die. Tears fell on Hitomi's facing looking like she too was crying human tears.
"Van." Spoke Hitomi quietly Van looked down at her, her body wasn't burning anymore but slowly disappearing.
"No Hitomi, please don't go.. I can't live lose you forever." Said Van between sobs; Van eyes were blood shot from his crying.
"It's ok Van it doesn't hurt anymore." Said Hitomi weakly, disappearing more and more with every passing minuet.
"Van promise me.... Promise you will fall in love again." Said Hitomi almost unable to say the words.
"No I will never love again, you are my one true love." said Van shaking his head.
"I want you to be happy." Hitomi managed to chock out.
"I will love again Hitomi I promise." Said Van looking away for only a moment. Hitomi smiled happily.
"I..love..you." were Hitomi's last words before to faded completely. Van clenched his fists and pounding on the sand lifting his hand up to the sky Van screamed in agony and pain.
"WHICH EVER GOD IS UP THERE BRING HER BACK! OR YOU WILL HAVE ME AS AN ENEMY FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE!" Van yelled to the heavens, nothing happened in a moment of grief Van found a small knife behind his back he raised it above his chest with intentions to stab himself. Van couldn't live without the chance to see Hitomi, hear her laugh, smell her hair look into her bright green eyes. But before Van could stab himself he heard Hitomi voice.
"Don't you keep your promises Van, you promised me you would fall in love again not kill your self. And they say women are drama queens." With tears in his eyes Van watched as Hitomi began to come back first he could see right threw her then she became solid with the right skin color she was alive again. Van embarrassed her in his arms planing to never let her go.
"You..... came..... back." Was all Van managed to say. He looked her in the eyes and felt her check making sure she was there.
"He said it wasn't my time I've have more to do and I think you had something to do with it, I came back as a human but I still have the powers of a vampire except the ageless part." Said Hitomi with tears forming in her eyes.
"I wouldn't care if you came back as a ghost as long as you came back." Said Van whom was then taken in by the most personate kiss of all time and all races.
