"Are you really sorry....?" she asked again, the teenage pyro closed his eyes and opened his mouth to reply.

"Raven...I am sorry...I want to say I don't know why I'm sorry, after all I hardly ever am, but I do know....I'm sorry because I....I love you and I don't want to hurt you..." The silver haired general looked away, actually fearing rejection from the black haired princess.

Dilandau started as a soft hand touched his own scarred cheek gently, turning his head back so that the two were eye to eye. They stood for what seemed like hours, neither knowing what to do; until Raven closed her eyes and leaned foreward, pressing her lips against Dilandau's own in a soft kiss.

The pyromaniac was shocked for only a second before he responded to the princess' kiss and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer and deepening the kiss. Just as the two began taking the rating up a bit, the door slammed open and in the doorway stood Folken.

"What the hell is going on here?" the strategoes stormed into the room and grabbed the back of Dilandau's shirt with his metal arm and threw the boy back onto his bed.

"A..ano..Onii-sama...we were only kissin--"

"You were not 'only kissing'! There was tongue involved!" The spiky haired man growled, then the black haired draconian's somewhat famous temper flared up and she whacked her older brother on the back of the head.

"How could you tell!? Come on you bakayaro, it was just one little passionate kiss!!"

"Oh so now it's passionate!?"

"What do you care!?"

As the shouting got louder, Dilandau's current headache grew worse. But luckily he was saved be the arrival of one hyperactive ball of fuzz that commonly went by the name Koneko. The small blonde nekojin plowed into Folken as she ran in, knocking him to the ground.

"Dammit Koneko!!" The small teen grinned and continued to sit on the oldest fanel's chest.

"Niao! Folken-sama, Dornkirk-sama wants to see you and Leon-kun about something!^^" With a grumble, Folken stood up, deposiying the neko on the ground as he did so, and left the room glaring at his sister and the pyro.

"We'll finish this later. I promise you that."

Koneko grinned as she watched the other two stick their tongues out at Folken in unison. "*snicker* Chesta-kun was right, you two are perfect for each other." The blonde stood and brushed herself off. "Well then, I'll leave you two alone." she shot a wink at Raven. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do." and left.

Raven smacked her forehead in annoyance at her friend's behavior and sat on the bed beside her pyromaniac. "Well, Koneko knows...and that means..."

"Soon we'll be 'the couple' throughout Zaibach." Dilandau ran a hand through his silver locks and sighed in frustration, that is until he found himself on his back with Raven grinning down at him.

"Luckily for us, Koneko'll make sure there are no interuptions. So I think we should take this time to......help me out here..."

"Make out like we just got let out of prison?"

"Exactly! ^^"

"Dornkirk-sama!You can't be serious!" Leon jumped up from his kneeling position on the metal floor and glared at the screen infront of him. Folken reached out and grabbed the back of the nekojin's long white coat.

"Calm yourself Leon." The blue haired man stepped foreward and pushed the other man back. "I find I must agree with Leon, Dornkirk-sama. This does seem over extreme."

"Extreme or not, you will obey my order. Is that understood?" The emporer's tone left no room for argument. Folken nodded slowly.

"Understood." The screen blanked out and The two men were left in the darkness. Leon glared at Folken coldly.

"You can't actually be serious about doing this to Raven-chan." the blue haired neko insisted, his protectiveness for the young draconian girl leaking out.

Folken avoided the nekojin's gaze. "I have my orders and I will follow them. You're dismissed Leon, go do your part. I'll be waiting." The strategos started towards the door, only to be blocked by the man.

"You cannot actually expect me to go along with this! I will not help you hurt Raven. Do you not even care about your younger sister?" Folken glared at the younger man.

"Leon, while your loyalty to my sister impresses me, You will follow your orders Leon. Or I will send Adelphos to do it for you." Leon let out a growl but nodded reluctantly.

" Understood..." With a hiss, the nekojin turned and left the room, Folken following after him and turning the opposite direction down the corridor.

Hitomi giggled quietly as she watched Merle and Gaddess argue over the last piece of mango in the bowl at breakfast.But then halfway between Merle pouncing across the table aiming her claws at Allen's second's throat, and Gaddess biting Merle(1); a cold chill passed through the psychic and reality ceased to exist.

Fog covered everything, Hitomi could barely see an inch infront of her. "Hello...? Is anybody here?"

Suddenly the fog cleared and in front of Hitomi stood a young woman. She had long wavy black hair that hung to her waist, pale skin, and dark crimson eyes. She was wearing a black tanktop that was covered with small rips, black leather pants, and black kung fu shoes. She held out a hand towards Hitomi.

Hitomi took a step foreward, closer to the girl. "W-who are you? What is it you want?" The girl turned and gestured to a scene in the distance.

Van was in a heated swordfight with the silver haired boy, Dilandau. Both were gasping for breath, drenched in sweat and blood, and moving at half their normal speeds.

Walking closer, Hitomi was soon side by side with the girl staring at the battle. "Is this what I'm here to see..?" She shook her head and reached out, grabbing Hitomi's hand and slashing down her palm, leaving a long bleeding gash. "What are you--?"

An identicle gash was made on the girl's hand. Suddenly Van was standing with them, his arm hanging limply by his side,bleeding. With no warning the girl leapt foreward wrapping her sliced and uninjured hand around the king's throat. Hitomi was froze to the spot and was unable to do anything but watch the teen she loved die.

As life finally left the young king's body, two snowy white feathered wings tinted black at the base and crimson at the tips burst out of the girl's back. Hitomi stared in shock as she watched the winged girl stroke Van's matted black hair, constantly looking at her mirror image's vacant crimson eyes.

"Hitomi? Hitomi, wake up...are you okay?"

The psychic opened her blurry green eyes and stared up at the worried faces of Allen Schezar and Van Fanel.

"Van...? Allen...? What happened...?" Sitting up slowly, she noticed she was in Van's room, i n his bed.

"Dunno," the often time stubborn king started, sitting next to her. "You just passed out at breakfast so we moved you in here. You okay?" Hitomi nodded slowly, deciding not to mention her vision just yet.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks, both of you. I'm a little tired now.. " Allen nodded and led Van out of the room, much to Van's dismay. After the two were gone, Hitomi let her smile drop and laid back against the pillows. 'That vision....so real....and that girl...who was she....? She looked just like Van....strange....'

Finally she drifted into an uneasy sleep, the vision constantly knawing away at the corners of her brain.
