Yes she does...MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I will think of that...^_~ hehehehe....Here's my controlled chapter.

Lyra Eyota: B4 I reply, I want to say that, now can you see why van just might have a reason to go postal? *Sad smile * I'm glad you can't be mad at me. Thank you for your respect and not strangling me. I have a mix of the two methods. I plan SOME major plot points, not all of them. I end up have some creativity moments that way, but it's not too tedious. And it helps it from getting boring cause you don't know exactly how you are going to write. Note: This happened with this story. Not all the stories I write. I am very weird in writing, but I guess it's what people call being unique. I luv shoulder angel and shoulder devil. It gets pretty funny when people do that. ^_^ I saw it too. I luv that part. I said you would LIKE the ending. Remember that. I just had to make them say it. I wanted a good way for them to tell each other, not an accident. Not just out of the blue.

I can no longer torture you guys....Here ya go! One more thing, Haven't you guys even been curious as to stuff like: Who's Erica? Why did Sarah know that song? Where are the forest knights now? And just what else can Sarah do anyway? ^_^ That last one is something you guys should have been paying attention to. Hehehe...

Sarah *Beaming *: This chapter is called: Wings in the light or Sarah's finest hour. (The next to ending chapter! WOW!)

Recap: Sarah broke the code of forbidden tears, and cried over her fallen friend. (So sad! Didn't you people think that was sad?)

~@~@~@~@~

Van's POV

Van was stunned. It was like some one had pulled his heart out and he had just stood there. He felt empty. As if the world...was just a void of pain. Some times the worst pain is of tears that cannot fall, The kind that knows it is not enough to show the sorrow. Van screamed inwardly to wake up. It was a dream. It had to be.

*This is not real. It ISN'T real! She can't be... *

But his mind knew the truth. This was no dream. It was No nightmare. He would not awaken to see her face smiling at him. She was dead. Zaibach had managed to take everything from him. It had taken Balgus, Fanelia, His mother, his father, and His brother. And now the one he loved. Van could feel anger rise through him. He had heard of bind fury of warriors before, and even though he thought felt it, but he was wrong. He had never been so mad in his life. It coursed through him like the blood in his veins. Zaibach had now taken everything that he had ever cared for. It was the fault of these heartless soldiers that had caused all this. Van could only feel pain. (I must have been really depressed when I thought of this, but it makes sense for him to be this mad that she is dead. I mean Geez...poor guy. Sorry people...I am being I.C. though. I.C. = In character.) He would make Zaibach feel his pain for this. Zaibach would pay for Hitomi's suffering. He stood and walked away with eyes watching him.

(Van actually acts like that and you all know it! So don't get mad please! ^^U Remember 15? Yeah...the killing. He gets that mad. So....blame the makers! Yami: Ya know...That's so lame. Me: Grr...DIE!)

~@~@~@~@~

Sarah's POV

Sarah watched Van leave the room.

*What the?! *

Soldiers were coming at Van, but were stupid enough to get close. Van didn't have any problem greeting his new friends. His eyes were no longer calm and peaceful, but orbs of flame. Sarah called his name, but he didn't hear. She even tried to grab him, but it didn't work. (I can almost not bare to do this. I mean, I'm doing this to Van! Ack! *Rocks back and forth * It's all for a good reason. It's all for a purpose.)

*Van. Even through all this, I honestly can't blame you. I feel like doing that too. ARG! What should I do? This has got to be a nightmare! *

Sarah found herself walking back to the room where Van was held when they found him. Hitomi's figure was still lying on the ground.

"Why? Why did this happen? It can't end this way! I...what happened to love conquers all? I wish that I could do something. I wish that Hitomi could come back." (She just said the magic words! I wish! Wait...that's genies and fairy godparents. Oh well! I'll take it anyway!)

Sarah's thought's turned to Hitomi's pendant.

*What if it could intensify my healing? Or help me reach Hitomi? If only it were possible... *

Hitomi's pendant started to hum and then to glow. Sarah turned to it and watched it. It now was floating in mid air. Something was calling her. It was a voice. This is what it said:

"Wanderer of the forest, we have heard you wish for peace. We will give you our power. We can only give so much, for your request is great. And one warning is given. You have but one chance. Now go. Time is short young one."

Sarah understood what she had to do. She focused the energy in her hands again and the familiar blue glow appeared. She walked over to Hitomi and grasped the floating pendant in her hand. The gentle glow of pink left the pendant, but the blue glow of Sarah's hands turned a violet color. Sarah felt a new energy surge through her palms. She took a deep breath, propped Hitomi up and pressed her hands on the bloody wound. She felt a flash and her eyesight left her. She blacked out.

~@~@~@~@~

Sarah groaned. She began to awaken. She found herself in a land with people. Hundreds of people all walking in a thick line. It wasn't strait by any means. Some of them were laughing and others were crying. They were all walking to a meadow with hundreds of flowers. It was a place which seemed sad and scary and yet, peaceful and happy. Sarah scanned the strange crowd wondering where she was. Her eyes darted past an unmistakable figure. A green eyed girl. Sarah jumped up and nearly yelped in surprise. She raced toward the crowd. She shoved people out of her way. She didn't care about being polite now, she had to reach her!

"Hitomi!" Hitomi didn't answer.

Sarah finally caught up to the girl. She looked like she was in a trance. Sarah shook her in desperation. Hitomi looked like she had just woken up. Hitomi looked happy and then sad, as if realizing something.

"Sarah! You're here too? I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm happy to see you though."

"No Hitomi. I'm here to bring you back. Come on."

"Bring me back? But why?"

"Why?! What in Gaea do you mean why?!"

"This is eternal peace Sarah." Hitomi talked like she was brain washed.

" What?! Oh really? What about Van?" Sarah said with anger.

Hitomi looked hurt and Almost in pain.

"I thought so. Come on Hitomi! Come with me! You need to come back. Van needs you."

"Sarah...I don't have any strength left. I can't make it back." Hitomi looked at the ground and felt tears burning her eyes. She did want to go back more than anything. She felt Van needing her, but she tired to push it away so she wouldn't feel the pain.

"Then lean on me Hitomi. I'll drag you all the way if I have to." Sarah said jokingly (On that dragging part.) with a small smile.

Hitomi nodded and began to walk away from the crowd. The farther they got, the weaker Hitomi seemed. They saw a light up ahead and moved toward it. It was a gate to the land of the living. Hitomi could feel that Van was beyond there. As soon as she stepped toward it, she stumbled. Sarah took Hitomi's arm and let her lean on her as she promised. The gate never REALLY looked any closer, though Sarah could tell they were making progress. They walked in silent understanding of each other. (Ya know, gal pals. ^_^ Girl friends...And I don't mean Yuri. -_-')

When they had gotten close, Hitomi's legs gave way and she fell. Sarah didn't let this stop them though. Sarah immediately picked Hitomi up and started to carry her. If she could carry Van when he was unconscious, she could do this. Hitomi saw Sarah's determination and saw what a great friend Sarah had truly been. Sarah had guarded her like her own sister. Though Hitomi didn't know something else that Sarah had done for her. That was for Sarah to put aside her own feelings. Sarah kept moving and then they were almost to the gate, just one thing. The gate was over ten feet off the ground. They only way in, was up.

"Do you think you can fly up there with me in your arms?"

Sarah frowned and sadly shook her head. "No. I don't have the strength. I think it might be a little tricky to fly myself up there. I used a lot of energy coming here in the first place and after getting you...I don't think I have much left."

"Then what do we do?"

"You have to fly yourself up there."

"What?! But I'm too weak to walk. How can I fly?"

"Hitomi...I don't know...But you have to. I think you have more power than you realize. Your love for Van helped stop a war and now you're gonna give up because of a floating piece of wood?" Sarah spoke with truth because she truly believed that it could be done.

"But I..."

"Hitomi. I'll be there for you. I'll help you and I'll hold your hand. I have managed to help you this far and I can't let you give up now. But just cause I can't carry you doesn't mean I can't be there. I'll always be your friend Hitomi." (Repeat after me: Aww... Very good class! ^_^)

Hitomi nodded and began to stand. Sarah was with her to support her like she promised. Hitomi took a deep breath and spread her wings. Her back felt like it was on fire from the strength it didn't want to use. Hitomi stood tall and Sarah smiled at her friend and grabbed her hand. Sarah spread her wings and together the two angels rose upward.

*I'm coming Van! I'm coming. *

Just before the gate shut the two entered. It sealed behind them.

~@~@~@~@~

Hitomi and Sarah awoke to the Zaibach fortress. Hitomi's wounds instantly vanished and the bloodstains were gone. They got up and began to race to find Van. Who was currently busy but not by far. Most of the soldiers were getting smarter it seemed. Still a few dared to face the angered warrior. (I hate doing that to Van. Please don't kill me Van lovers. I bring this ending as a peace offering. I am of your clan.) Sarah dragged the girl through the rooms. Sarah could feel excitement of the fact that she had done it. Hitomi was okay. Van of course wasn't in on this little update on their situation and continued his revenge driven fury. Hitomi stepped into the room and saw Van. She could almost feel his sorrow. In fact, she did. She felt the same when she though she lost him. Hitomi did the one thing that turned the whole situation around.

"Van!"

Van was above them and he spun around as quickly as lightning to the sound.

*That voice. It can't be. *

Hitomi smiled wide. Van stared in disbelief. There she was. She was darn confusing! Wait! Hitomi's okay! Yippee! (No he didn't think that or say that. That's me in narration.)

"H-Hitomi? Are you really?"

Hitomi nodded and smiled wider. They were both crying tears of joy. Van burst his shirt and flew down to his beloved with his snow-white wings. They embraced. He could hold her again. His pain and anger vanished. His hard fiery eyes were now the gentle ruby orbs that they had always been when she was near or long ago when he was a child. The nightmare had become a beautiful dream. But it wasn't quite finished. There was one more thing. The leader of Zaibach!
