Meeting and Breakfast

"Where is he?" One of Van's advisors asked. "It seems like we have been waiting here forever."

"I know but he is coming. I told one of the servants to go wake him and he probably had to wash up." Merle said. They had been waiting for Van for what seemed like forever. "And remember what I told you."

"Yes we know Lady Merle we totally agree with you. We will tell Lord Van…" Another one of the advisors said.

But was interrupted by Van walking in and said, "What do you have to tell me?" And he sat down in his royal seat.

"Your majesty. We have a couple things to discuss with you. One of them being that last night's ball was great. Everyone enjoyed it and we would like to have another ball tonight. "Advisor said.

"I think that is a great idea. Yes another ball we will have tonight. Is that all." Van said and was about to get up.

"There is also one another reason." Van sat back down in his chair. "We found a document today that says that are you are to get engaged by a date that your parents have picked." Advisor 2 said.

"WHAT? Are you joking?" Van said standing up out of his chair.

"Van sit down. There not joking you have to get married soon." Merle said.

"When is the date to be engaged?" Van asked sitting down.

"You are to pick someone buy tonight." Advisor 1 said.

"WHAT?!? I CAN'T! I can't find someone in less then a day." Van said. Van's thoughts though were, 'Merle. Merle set this up. Well I'm just going to play with her a little. And then tonight Hitomi and I will be able to be together'

"My lord we have a deal for you. We would like if you would at least buy tonight pick a girl that you may fall in love with. You don't need to be engaged yet but we want you to court a woman." Advisor 5 said.

"Yes like to be engaged to be engaged." Merle said.

"But just engaged would be better if you can do that Lord Van." Advisor 4 said.

"Whatever." Van said and then he left. When he got out the door he smirked not only about how he would be with Hitomi forever but also the look on Merles face.

Merle was totally confused. 'I thought Van and Hitomi liked each other but the way Van just acted it seems like he doesn't. Maybe this isn't going to work' Merle thought.

In the dinner hall Hitomi walked in and mostly everyone was gone. There were just a couple servants. 'I guess I'm eating alone' Hitomi thought and pouted a little. Then she went and sat down by the chair she always sat on. A servant came and asked her what she wanted and Hitomi said, "Um… Can I have French toast?"

"Yes my lady. It will be ready soon." The servant girl said and then left.

Hitomi sat alone again. Then Hitomi started thinking, 'Wow. Van's chair looks really comfy I wonder what it feels like to sit in it. Umm…' Hitomi looked around. 'Well no one is around so I can always see.' Hitomi stood up from her chair looked around again and still no one was around and then moved to Van's chair and sat down. 'Wow. This is really comfy.'

Hitomi then started to think about Van and them being together and getting married that she didn't even notice someone come up behind her. The person came up to Hitomi and went "BOO!" which brought her out of her daze and screamed quietly and she jumped up and out of Van's chair. Then Hitomi turned to the person and it was Van and he was laughing his ass off. "That wasn't funny." Hitomi said. "Really scared me."

"Aww… I'm sorry baby I just couldn't resist." Van said while he stopped laughing.

"Well you're still mean." Hitomi said started to go back to her chair.

"No don't go. You can still sit here. I know you were enjoying yourself. So sit." Van said pushing Hitomi to sit on his chair. "And also it will be a sorry for scaring you."

"Okay." Hitomi said and sat down on Van's chair again. "It's really comfy. You're really lucky the chair I sit on isn't as nice as this."

"Well soon you will have one. It will be right beside me and you will be my queen." Van said while standing beside the chair and then leaned down and kissed her when he was done talking. Hitomi smiled.

"You're so sweet." Hitomi said. Van then sat down on Hitomi's chair. "So what was your meeting about?" Hitomi asked.

"Oh about the ball last night. It was such a hit last night that were having another one tonight." Van said but was also thinking, 'and also it's the night I'm going to ask you to marry me.'

"That is cool." Hitomi said and then the servant came with lost of French toast and put it on the table. She looked and Van and Hitomi strange and then she left. "Wow that is more French toast then what I ordered." Hitomi said.

"I went into the kitchen before I came out here and asked for them to make some for me to." Van said.

"Oh okay." Hitomi said and then Van and she started eating.

They ate all the French toast and talked while they ate.

When they were done Hitomi said, "Want to go for a walk. I want to try and stay away from everyone because then I'll have to go get ready and I want to spend time with you."

"Sure." Van said and laughed a little.

Van and Hitomi went to the garden. On there way there they almost got caught by Merle and Brady but they managed to lose them.

Hitomi was sitting on the grass. They were far away from the castle so nobody could see them. Van had went to do something and said for her to stay there so she was. When he came back he had bouquet of flowers. "Oh Van there gorgeous." Hitomi said and kissed him on the lips. They ended up making out.

In the bushes about a couple feet away there was a man in black and he was watching them and said to himself, "Tonight will be the night you will be mine and you wont get away from me this time." Then he left.
