I woke up during the night…to make sure I was not dreaming. I looked at my angel sleeping nestled in my arms and I know that everything was, as it seemed to be. I see the sun rising, so I hold Hitomi tighter…just a few more hours of sleep before our day will be very busy. Just a few more hours to cherish this memory of sanity, I closed my eyes, thanking Celena for all that she showed me. She gave her life so that I could stay here with the one I love…she died in the last fight with Zaibach with Jajuka. They were lovers in every scence of the word. They were the only ones I knew that truly loved each other. I let my drift and slowly relax again; inhaling the scent of the one I loved. Sleep claimed me again.
*********************************************************************************************************
Hitomi woke to someone kissing her. She slowly opened her eyes, and looked into the beautiful red orbs of Dilandau's eyes. "Morning, its time to get up…we have to face Van and the whole cursed other people." Hitomi grinned and got up out of bed. Dilandau had already dressed and was heading out the door. After he left Hitomi, got dressed and headed out, in search of the dining hall where everyone else was eating. She looked and saw Dilandau and the other Dragonslayers already eating. Slowly slipping in place, the servants placed before her plates of food. Hitomi looked out of the corner of her eye, and felt her heart swell with adoration. Dilandau was at the head of the table, explaining something to one of the 'Slayers. He looked so much like a warrior, with his red and black uniform, accenting his muscles. The golden diadem that he wore, showing he was of royalty. He truly was a handsome man.
After eating, Hitomi went back to the room she had shared with Dilandau to get ready for the meeting with Van and the whole gang. She heard Dilandau come in…and the next thing he had grabbed her from behind. Hitomi let out a little shriek.
Dilandau laughed. He kissed her neck, sending shivers all down her spine. "Ready to go, he said."
"As I'm ever going to be"
"Then, get ready to face hell's master"
Hitomi laughed, as she knew he referring to Van. So she swatted at his arm, reminding him to be nice. He went back on the Vione, and we loaded back onto his guymelef. Hitomi loved riding with Dilandau. She could not wait until he taught her how to pilot it. She saw the palace of Palos, and gasped in awe at how big it was.
"Impressive isn't it." Dilandau said in my ear.
"Yeah."
We landed in the courtyard by the other guymelefs. We got out of the Alseides and Dilandau took my hand and lead me through the Palace to the counsel room.
************************************************************************************************************
I see Hitomi looking at these surroundings in totally amazement. The palace really was a beautiful place. 'To bad about the people inside the palace' I smirk slightly…I really would love to kick Van's butt. If does think of chewing me out, I will put my foot up his butt, I lead Hitomi to the counsel room, only letting go of her hand to open the door. I smirked again, not surprised in the least…there was everyone, Van his wife, Merle, Allen and his crew…yup everyone was here. I can't wait to hear what Van has to say to me.
******************************************************************************************************
"HITOMI!" Merle shouted as she bounded across the room. "Merle!" Hitomi said embracing her back. "Long time no see"
"You're telling me Hitomi"
"Welcome back Hitomi" the graceful voice uttered. "Millerna, nice to see you again."
Hitomi said greetings back to everyone she remembered, mole man, Allen and his crew, and some of the counsel members she knew. She watched as Van sat in stony silence. She felt Dilandau go stiff by her side. Not wanting things to get ugly Hitomi offered a suggestion.
"Well, I'll let you boys go ahead and talk, so since me and Merle have some catching up to do, we'll leave you guys alone."
"That's right," said Merle "We have tons of catching up to do." Her and Hitomi started to walk to the door.
"Yes, well I'll joined you guys then" said Millerna. All three women made there way out the door.
******************************************************************************************************
I almost laughed at the stunt Hitomi pulled. I wish she would have stayed so she could see me beat up Van. I see Van's angry eyes, and wanting to be agitating…I start to taut at him…hoping he'll take bait.
"Well…seems like you have a lot to say to me doesn't it Van"
"Funny didn't know cat got your tongue…though you use participate in that activity with Merle all the time"
I see Van getting red with rage…wanting to anger him further, I decide to taunt some more. I look over and see Allen shaking his head, I am tempted to roll my eyes. Allen and his mature chivalry ways, I decide to egg Van further on.
MEANWHILE**********************************************************************
"So how's it going with you and Allen."? Hitomi said.
"That's like asking me, how's it going with you and Van." Merle replied.
Hitomi giggled. "Come on Merle, if he hasn't noticed you by now, you need to take some drastic action."
"And you have something in mind"
"Yeah I do"
"What is it then Hitomi" Merle and Hitomi looked up in surprise. They had forgotten that Millerna was listening. "You know" they both replied in unison.
"Well its only obvious"
"YOU KNOW" Merle shouted. Millerna laughed.
"I can help you guys if you let me in on you plan."
"HOW CAN YOU KNOW?"
"Merle calm down and give it a rest. Actually you do where your heart on your sleeve…if you get my drift." said Hitomi.
"I DO NOT!" replied Merle indignantly.
Hitomi looked at Millerna. She knew it wasn't Millerna's fault Van loved her, or that she loved him back…she loved Dilandau now, and it was time to let by -gones be by-gones
"Well" Hitomi whispered. "I was thinking we could pull this off."
