Last time: -
'This body,' motioning hers,' is not my actual body it is one that I made with my wishes. It is different in that it can take on any shape or form, and can read minds and become invisible. Oh and Allen? Merle thinks you should wash your hair because it stinks!!!!Quite right too' (That was to prove her mind reading skills).
One of vans chief advisors who had crept in said matter of factly' how can we believe that you are Hitomi if we cannot see your 'original body'?'
Hitomi looked up with sad green eyes.
'Allen could you come behind me and hold my upper left arm, Van could you hold my waist please!'
* * *
Hitomi grimaced, screwing her eyes closed. Both Allen and Van felt Hitomi grip their arms really hard and clenched their teeth. Hitomi braced herself for the pain and entered a familiar trance.
A few long seconds later Hitomi seemed to shrink in on herself. She became physically older in front of them. Her hair became dull, her face lost its shine and her body sagged letting Van and Allen take her weight.
But nothing bad had happened and the advisor who had spoken up before stepped forward as if to say something when Hitomi shuddered and a single tear ran down her cheek.
And before everyone in the room, Hitomi Kanzaki returned to her old beaten body. And the room became still and then full of gasps as the occupants saw the full extent of what Hitomi had been put through.
And the main thought from everyone was, 'how did she survive like this. How is she even alive today?'
You see Hitomi had had one of her emerald eyes brutally gouged out. The other scarred to blindness, the scar reaching down her cheek and past one temple into the hairline.
Her left arm was non-existent below he elbow and you could see burns and part of the bone on the right. It also seemed to be broken, seeing as it was bent the wrong way.
Her legs seemed to have been hamstringed so that she physically couldn't defend herself or go anywhere. She was paralysed.
The amount of knife wounds and bullet wounds were frightening and Millerna was fretting herself silly. Even Merle seemed to have shut up, whilst Van could only love his Hitomi more and more. To have put up with all this.
.And then he was angry. The veins standing out in his neck as to how much he had to restrain himself by reminding himself that Hitomi needed him more than he needed to hit something.
Finally only when Hitomi managed for a second to hold onto her fading consciousness and scream, did the group come to their senses and send for the best healers in the realm. Hitomi was confined to her room and she had many visitors who slept ate and lived in that room with her.
* * *
When, a week later only Van was in the room, he decided to have a talk to him beloved without anyone else listening in. and furthermore since she had been being treated for a week already she should be able to understand what he was saying.
As he walked over to her pallet where she lay in a fever, his words got choked in his throat when he saw how much pain she was in. her condition had brought back memories for all of her friends. Painful memories that needn't resurface, but which had anyway.
Van let out the breath he didn't know he had been holding and shed a tear when Hitomi seemed to wake up knowing that he was there.
'Van.' she rasped and he helped her to a drink of water before asking the one question he needed the answer to.
. 'Are you in a lot of pain, Hitomi?'
at this Hitomi laughed a cold mirthless laugh and answered in a chilling voice, 'pain is something you get used to after a while. It's the new pain that hurts, not the old.' And eyes (well technically eye) brimming with tears she lost consciousness.
And Van saw what she thought, had come to believe. She believed that he no longer loved her. And he cried, before going to kick the hell out of an advisor, or something.
