3/4/4 Figure I'll fix this before I write the next chapter
Prologue She was in a train station, and looked up at her father's watch. Tick tick ti-ck. It stopped, she looked up at him, he didn't move. Her vision moved across from her, where a boy in strange robes watched her. His hair was dark and untamed and he was giving her the most peculiar look. "Who are you" her little voice asked. The ticking was heard again, and her parents pulled her to get on the train, the boy gone.
Twelve Years Later
Hitomi started to run, one step at a time. Amano. She adored everything about him. One more step. Her pendant sung to the left. One more step. There was a flash of blinding light. Infront of her a boy raised a sword. She tried to stop but ran into the light. The last thing she saw was Amano he reached out his hand for her but missed allowing her to only grab her pendant.
She never knew what to expect until she landed. She looked around, surrounded by trees and shrubs. She stood up and saw several pairs of red eyes glowing in front of her; she started to run away. They were behind her, moving ever closer, if only she knew what 'they' were. She passed by a pond and caught not only her own reflection but theirs in it's ever placid waters. They were the horrid creatures she only read about, ones with fangs, claws and what's worse inhuman powers. She kept running determined to escape them. She closed her eyes for a second praying for release, and when they opened she was at the face of a gorge. The rock wall spiraled far above her. She realized then she was trapped between them and a cliff. She turned to face her assailants, backing up until she was firmly placed flat against the wall. They stalked up to her debating on her fate.
"So what do you think we should do with her, you know Lord Dilandau could use another servant."- figure 1.
"Na, she's too cute, he'd rip her to shreds, you know we could give her to the dragon clan, their leader was said to become king today.... It would be in our best interest to give her to him."- figure 2.
"Perfect. Lord Van will love her."- figure 1. With that the two leapt at her and knocked her out. When she awoke she was wrapped in cloth, firm but soft. It was rocking back and forth as if it were moving, she struggled but it was to tightly bound around her. She sat for what seemed like an eternity not realizing she drifted off into slumber until woken again by a very painful blow. Her captives dropped her. The rug started moving, rolling until she was in was rolled out. She stood up determined not to be caught unaware and swayed until she fell over. It was then a bronze face stood over her, it's fangs withdrew, she screamed. She turned to flee but he was already infront of her, grabbing hold of her arms. She pleaded her case.
"Please let me go, please....where am I.... Who are you.....What are you..."-Hitomi.
"None of that matters, as for letting you go, well........ actually I've had a boring day, festivals are quite boring if your not allowed to do anything fun. Tell you what if you can be me in a sparing match I'll let you go, free and unharmed, if not you stay with me forever and keep me entertained, deal?"-Van. He held out his hand. She thought of the possibilities. There was no way she could escape, and she did take several self-defense courses, hesitantly she shook it.
"Fine."-Hitomi. She stood up and got into fighter stance, it was either win, or die trying.

She was breathing hard her breath ragged but at least she'd won. She stood up over him and nodded before turning to run. He could only smirk at her retreating figure, she actually beat him, a truly impressive feat. He was shocked she was such a skilled fighter. He truly admired the way her body reacted when he tried to overpower her though brute force, she fell and had him trip over her shoulder. It was at this point that they started pining one another. His body reacted as he remembered the feel of her against him. Her soft flesh against his tight muscles, hardened from years of training. He sighed. He was angry that he let her go, and yet he knew that they would meet again. He just didn't know how soon. She took off from what looked like a great palace into the forest, afraid on whether the dark-haired "king" would keep his word, and the over-bearing possibilities of other monsters catching her. After seemingly hours of running she approached a village, she paid no heed and kept running, only to cash straight into a tall figure. A young woman with a worried look on her face. "Excuse me miss did you happen to see two children, a young boy and a younger girl?"- woman now in tears.
"No I-m sorry I didn-t do you need any help?"- Hitomi.
"Yes... I ... I ... the Dragon Clan has taken hold of them and, since their leader was crowned today, I think he's going make them into vampires. Oh what am I going to do, I can't live without them."- woman into near hysterics. Hitomi thought awhile until her mind came up with the only answer she could think of. "I think there is something I can do just wait out of the forest, you'll know by nighttime if I was successful"-Hitomi. 'I don't want to go back but I have a better chance than young children, I just hope he hasn't gotten to them yet. Please let them be safe'
"Thank you so much I owe you my life"- woman.
"You owe me nothing I must go now"-Hitomi. And with that the young maiden walked to her new captor. As she entered the castle gates she was met by two youths who were obviously frightened and the hansom man she battled for her freedom. They were sitting down and shaking as he paced back and forth. His attention turned on her gazing at her intently but also keeping a close eye on the kids. She swallowed her fear and began her argument refusing to take no for an answer.
"I have come for those children."-Hitomi.
"What makes you think I'll give them up?"- Van, amazed at this female's audacity.
"I offer myself willingly in their place, you can do with me as you like as long as you don't hurt them, and swear to me they will brought back to their home unharmed in anyway."-Hitomi. He faded out and in one swift movement had her neck arched his mouth just inches away. The smell of fear, from the children drew him wild with hunger and he could barely contain himself. "What keeps me from agreeing with you, then killing them?"- Van in a gruff voice. She was so sure of herself and he was truly amazed. She had over came her fear to save two innocent lives, usually people feared him but for some reason not her, her fear was gone, only the strong need to save the children, why he wondered.
"Your oath to me, I will do whatever you ask just let them go, and let me take them home."- Hitomi. He debated with himself and came up with a final solution. "You trust me?"- Van.
"Yes I believe you'll keep your word, for I will keep mine."-Hitomi. He released her and stalked back to the children and sat among them. "Fine, you have till sunset, be back or their village will suffer and all of that nice stuff."-Van acting as if the subject bore him.
She nodded took the kids and ran, determined not to let anyone suffer because of her deal. Just when she was out of sight a shadow appeared.
"Your keeping her, why? Although I do find it a little amusing that she needlessly gave up her freedom. I mean after your decree no children where fed upon."- Shadow.
"Quiet Merle, there is something about this one that leads me to believe that she is more than she seems and I intend to find out what."
Moreo
"Emperor Dilandau what are your plans concerning Fanelia"-Folken "Relax Folken, actually I hope to forge an alliance between us, my spies tell me that the Zaibach sorcerers and dopplegangers plans to lead an offensive to concur Austeria, that is something I cannot allow so do tell your brother hello for me"- Dilandau wolfishly, - "After all our alliance starts with the friendship of it's leaders, oh and tell Merle I'd just love to see her"
"You bastard"- Folken "Careful, just because I took you in from exile does not mean I don't command respect, even from you."-Dilandau "As you wish, may I ask a question?"-Folken "If you leave me in peace afterwards"-Dilandau "Why are you so interested in my sister"-Folken. He shivered as the demon before him grinned, looking if possible more evil than before.
"Lets just say she and I have unfinished business, now go"-Dilandau. Folken walked out of the room while the blood thirsty lord stroked a scar on his left shoulder, a smile touching his features.
"My little cat princess, when it comes to you, I'll do anything, even deal with your brothers. After all you were the one who choose me to be your mate, not the other way around."
