Chapter 4

It was finally Monday night. Hitomi, Yukari and Amano took the long drive to

the airport. Now, they sat waiting for the call to board the plane. Hitomi

smiled while Yukari sat fidgeting nervously. Amano looked from

one girl to the other, not sure how to feel. He finally gathered in the silence

that he should feel mostly worry. He felt worried for his girlfriend because he

knew that she would worry for Hitomi and he also felt worry for Hitomi because

he was afraid that this was the wrong thing for her to do. Yukari couldn't hold

it back anymore. She let go of her bottled up emotions. A small tear fell from

her right eye, slowly rolling down her cheek. Amano leaned over and wiped the

tear from her face. He kissed her eye and whispered in her ear.

            "It will be okay Yuki, this is what she wants."

            Hitomi noticed her friend's sad look. She felt bad for leaving her feeling so

worried but she couldn't help it. She also was leaving Allen on a bad note. She

never bothered to call him to say goodbye. She turned to her friend and smiled.

She stood from her chair and embraced her in a warm hug.

            "Yukari, everything's going to be fine. Please don't cry? I know this is hard

but, it's what I need to do now. I know you are probably scared for me but, I've

been through a lot. I'm a big girl now. Please, just understand how I feel? I'm

sorry if you worry. I swear it though, I will keep in touch. Hey look at it this

way, you and Amano will have more time alone right? Alone time is really good

you know, helps a lot with certain relationship problems"

Yukari playfully reached up and slapped Hitomi. "That way you guys can have lots

of time to become closer. You have him to worry about, don't worry about me."

            Yukari tried to hide her sadness with a smile. She knew if Hitomi kept seeing

her sad, she would feel horrible. She let out a little giggle and said sorry for

seeming so upset. They both smiled and then there was an interruption. The sound

of Hitomi's flight number boomed over the loud speakers in the airport. It was

time for Hitomi to board. She felt a swarm of emotions spreading throughout

her body. She felt happy, nervous, sad and excited all at once. This was the

first time that Hitomi had ever flown since she was a little girl. Part of her

was afraid to fly alone but for some reason, she was willing to let go of that

for this Van guy. She just really hoped that she was doing the right thing. The

main part of her mind was telling her that she was but there was a tiny little

logical part of her mind that seemed to have Yukari's words  playing over and

over like a broken record. Hitomi chose to ignore that and picked up her purse

and carry on and got ready to go.                      Yukari and Amano stood up and began to walk

towards the gate where Hitomi would board. When they reached the gate, they all

said their final goodbyes. Hitomi sat her things down and gave both Yukari and

Amano huge hugs.  Afterward, she grabbed a hold of her carry on bag and boarded

her plane. She walked down the long isles of seats and found a place to sit. She

sat down and dug through her bag to find a book. The flight would take a few

hours so, she didn't want to suffer from pure boredom the whole way. She began

to read her favorite book. After reading for a while, she decided to stop. She

felt as if she were reading the words but, they weren't quite registering in her

mind. She was too anxious to see what Van would be like. She wondered many

things. She wondered how she  would feel when she finally laid eyes on him in

person. She wondered if he would be all rich and stuffy like most rich people

she had known. She wondered what it would be like to live in the mansion of a

super star. She even wondered how he would smell. She hadn't realized how long

she had been thinking until she looked at her watch. She thought to herself,

"wow, Hitomi think straight for a whole half hour? Is there something wrong with

me?" After thinking this, she decided to go back to her book. There wasn't much

time left and, if she kept thinking, she'd definitely drive herself crazy.

            The flight seemed pretty short to her. The next thing she knew, they were

landing in New York. She couldn't believe it, she had finally made it.

            After the plane had landed safely, she left and began looking for Van. In a

matter of seconds, they met. He walked up from behind her  and tapped her

shoulder lightly. Hitomi jumped. A vision of a dark haired, tanned skinned, and

maroon eyed god fell before her. She blinked, meeting his deep, solemn, eyes.

            "Excuse me Ms, are you Hitomi Kanzaki?"

            A smile tugged at the corners of her lips and she said, "Yes, yes I am."

             "I'm Van Fannel. Sorry if I frightened you, that wasn't my intention. I'm just

the type to run

up behind people first just incase it's not the right person and they realize

who I am before I can escape. You know what crazy girls are like I'm sure.

It's a pleasure to meet you Hitomi. I've been waiting for this."

            She smiled and blushed slightly. He seems so sweet

            He took her hand and they walked to where she could pick up her luggage. She

went to  take  her stuff but Van raced her to it  and picked it up before she

could. Hitomi wasn't sure what to do. She looked at him with confused eyes. She

felt rather awkward letting a super star carry her things. She felt that she

should have taken it herself. Van noticed the confused look in her eyes and

stopped abruptly.

"Hitomi, did you forget something back there?"

"No, I just well, I'll take those if you want me to?"

"No, you are my guest. I wanted to take these  for you."

Hitomi didn't object and just followed Van as he began to walk again. They

continued on their journey out of the airport. Hitomi couldn't believe her eyes.

Standing before her was, a beautiful limousine. Sure, she was rich but, she

never

got the chance to ride in one of these before. It was always just fancy cars.

She felt slightly thrilled like a child that gets to ride on a carousel, but

wanted to make sure it was Van's before she jumped to

conclusions. She hesitated but asked Van if it was his. He told her yes and they

got in. Hitomi couldn't help but be graceful. Van on the other hand, was acting

pretty normal. Weren't rich people supposed to be prissy?

            Soon Hitomi would learn just how not prissy Van really was.

Soon, she would learn many things about people as well as herself.
