Hey i'm sorry it took me so long to update a new chapter. I just started a
new job a week ago and school started. It's tough being a senior. It was
hard to find any time when all of this was going on at once. Anyways, i'm
really sorry about the long wait but i hope this chapter is worth it.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed.

Chapter Four: True Feelings Revealed
To recap Hitomi has discovered that she is the guardian of the four houses ofGaia (A/N: Remember the four spheres on the silver box???). The four houses are Fanelia, Fried, Asturia, and The Mystic Valley. She is in tune with the life rythms of Gaia, hence her ability to get visions. She can call on those rythms for power and guidance. So basicallyshe can manipulate any biological matter on Gaia. (A/N: this will make more sense in a later chapter).
For Van and Hitomi the three months of wedding planning went by in an instant. One minute the wedding was next month and before the young couple knew it the auspicious event was the next day. Van and Hitomi were at their seperate celebrations. Merle and Millerna threw hitomi a small bridal shower. The reason for the diminished size was because the only attendants were Hitomi, Millerna, Merle, Aries, and Celena.
Van's bacheor party however was nothing like a normal bachelor party. The Fanelian custom was for the groom to take part in a sword tournament with his guests. The reason Van takes is because whoever wins gets to give the bride-to-be a special kiss. It's basically meant to test how much the groom love the bride.
*bridal shower*
"Oh Merle, they're beautiful. Thank You"
Merle had given Hitomi whited high stemed boots.
"You can wear them under your dress"
"You were very thoughtful Merle (she picked up another box). This one is from Celena"
She opened to box and took out a beautiful blue dress. It was made of cotton so Hitomi could move better. The dress was form fitting and had 3/4 sleves with asmall trim of blue lace going around the back of the sleves.
"I made it myself. I thought you could wear it on your honeymoon and when you start to help Van run Fanelia youll be able to ove around easier."
"Thank You Celena. I'm so glad you were able to come."
*bachelor party*
Van had done pretty good in the tournament. Dryden had abstained saying swordplay was not his forte. Chid had obviously been training since the destiny wars. Still, Chid wasn't the one Van was worried about. It was Allen and as the heavenly knight stepped forward Van's heart sank. Of course Van's sword skills had improved in the past two years, but so had Allen's.
"I'll be sure to go easy on you Van."
"Then that'll mean I win faster Allen."
So it began. They parried and thrusted, to onlookers it looked more like a dance then a fight. Allen noted that Van's skill had greatly improved but for both men this was more than a game. It was the end of a rivalry that had been going on for over two years, and it was over a telepathic from the mystic moon. Now Van was going to win. Tomorrow he was going to marry Hitomi. Now all he had to do was prove his skill was equal to Allen's.
Of course Allen won in the end but only after a half hour duel. Both men were utterly exhausted. The only reason Van lost was because he was still not as advanced as Allen.
"To bad Van. I'll be sure to tell Hitomi...."
"Tell me what?"
"Why aren't you at the shower?"
"Van, do you know what time it is? We've been waiting for you guys at dinner for almost a half an hour. Getting back to my question, what are you going to tell me Allen?"
"Remember that tournament I told you about last night?"
"The one where whoever wins gets to kiss me."
"Yea, that one. Well, Allen won"
"Oh really"
Van nodded. Allen walked up to Hitomi and leaned down to kiss her. He didn't want Van to get the last laugh. Allen layed his mouth on Hitomi's, he tried to deepen the kiss but she refused to open her mouth. She let him kiss her for about five seconds before pulling away and going straight to Van.
"Well, How was it?"
Hitomi only shrugged her shoulders and gave Van a mischevious grin. She pulled on Van's shirt collar and gave him a passionate kiss. Far from minding he wrapped his arms around Hitomi's waist and pulled her closer. Hitomi thought her mouth would start to smoke from all the heat. When they broke the kiss the lovers looked into eachother's eyes and though simultaneously.
'I've never been so happy.'
"You kiss better Van."
Van smiled gave Hitomi a small peck and lifted her into his arms in one swift move. Pulling her close to him Van whispered in her ear.
"God I love you"
"You've made your point. You can put me down now."
"Nope. i'm taking you to dinner in style."
He unfurled his angelic wings and with a small squeal from Hitomi they flew off.
"Man, they've got it bad (A/N: Nod to Usher)"
"What do you mean Dryden?"
"Well all they do is spend time together. They're never seperated from eachother. I'll bet while you were kissing Hiotmi she was thinking about Van."
Allen sulked at what Dryden said. Once, it was Allen that was going to marry Hitomi. Although he did a good job of hiding it, Allen was jealous of Van. He only had one chance to get hitomi back and this time it would take drastic measures.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After a cendlelit dinner for two Van walked with Hitomi to their chambers. Van saw that Hiotmi was entering the room across from theirs.
"Where are you going?"
"To my room."
"But your room is here."
"I know, but for tonight it's here. It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding."
Van gave a sad grin and kissed Hitomi goodnight. For some reason that Van couldn't explain he had an ominous feeling that Hitomi was in danger. He ignored it and associated it with pre-wedding jitters. He pulled her into a loving embrace.
"Just think. By this time tomorrow you'll be Queen Hitomi Katrine de Fanel."
"I like the sound of that"
They had one last goodnight kiss before going their ways, for the last time.
"Aishiteru (sp?) Hitomi"
"Aishiteru Van"
That night Hiotmi was awakened to the feeling of being gagged. Her eyes snapped open to the sound of nothing but his underware on. He had placed a white hankerchief in her mouth and was now in the process of tying her wrists and ankels to the bed posts. Allen started to kiss his way up her arms. Hitomi could hear what Allen was thinking as if he was screaming it in her ear.
'If I get her pregnant Van will hate her and she'll have no choice but to marry me.'
Hitomi was crying out with all her mental capacity. 'Someone help me please.' Allen began to untie Hitomi's nightgown and as he slowly pulled it down her shoulders a loud rumbuling was heard outside her windows. The largest window by her bed opened up to reveal the head and shoulders of Escaflowne. The rumbuling must have woken Van because he came charging in through the door. He was disgusted by what he saw.
"Get off her you bastard!"
Allen realizing he was caught pulled out his dagger and began to laugh with a psychotic tone.
"If I can't have her. No one will!"
Suddenly escaflownes hand reached out and grabbed Allen. His dagger plunged into Hitomi's shoulder. She screamed through her gag. The dragon armor took Allen to the dungeon and sttod guard outside his window.
Van untied Hitomi and removed her gag. Allen had obviously tied her tight because their were bruises on her wrists and ankels. She was crying and Van held her mindful of the wound.
"I'm going to go get Millerna. I'll be right back."
"Van you don't need to do that."
"What are you talking about? The blade went right through your shoulder. It needs to be stiched up."
"Give me the pendant Van."
"Hitomi this is..."
"Van"
He looked at her and the way her eyes were saying 'trust me'. He went over to the dresserretrived the pink stone and returned to Hitomi's side. He put the pendant in her hand then gave it a small kiss.
"Now take the dagger out of my shoulder in one fast pull."
Van did as Hitomi said and as he lifted the dagger out of her shoulder Hitomi winced with pain. She put the pendant up to her mouth and blew on it. The stone began to take on a pink glow. She put the tip of the pendant in her wound and quickly removed it, placing her hand over her shoulder. When she finally moved her hand Van saw that their was a glowing pink handprint over the wound and as the handprint disappeared, so did Hitomi's wound. Van picked Hitomi up and carried her to their room. Laying her down gently in their bed he got in and held her close to him. He was glad to feel Hitomi snuggleing up closer to him.
~TBC~
Well their you have it. Chapter Four. Why did Allen go schizo? Does Midera have something to do with it???? Wait and see in the next chapter The Wedding. When an old friend comes to shed some light on the enemies darkened past.
