Hitomi stretched quickly and moved on.  She had made it out of the forest. A farmer and his wife gave her a ride out of Fanelia.  Hitomi had no idea were she was, she just kept walking until the road had stopped; but continued until she had reached another forest. She still kept walking.  Dusk was starting to set in. 

Hitomi hurried on. She started to run, she could barely stop herself before she had almost fallen over the edge.  Hitomi gasped, the forest ended. It seemed there was a valley and from there was mountains.  Hitomi smiled. It was a perfect hiding place.  But her smiled quickly turned into a frown.  She did not have enough food with her all she had left was a slice of bread and water.  'Great, I guess I couldn't just magically wish there was a store somewhere in the mountain.'  Hitomi sighed; all she wanted was a place to sleep. She would worry about food later.

Hitomi slowly climbed down to the valley.  Her foot slipped a couple of times but she quickly regained her footing.  She saw a ledge and decided it was a safe place to jump down from.  She jumped on it, but it gave away and soon she was falling. Hitomi screamed and then she saw no more.

******************************************************************************************************************************

Slowly a figure in emerged. He gently picked up the unconscious woman and wrapped her in his billowing black cloak.  He then climbed up from the ravine to his abode.

******************************************************************************************************************************

"Lord Van, we cannot find her anywhere."

"Yes my lord no one has any idea were she is."

Van listened to his advisors babble on about not being able to find Hitomi.  Van smirked, so she was playing hard to get. 

"Don't worry I will find her."

"But-"

"Tell my people the wedding is on hold, arrange for a regiment of my men to come with me, Now leave me."

The advisors quickly hurried out the room.  Merle then came out from her hiding place from the roof of the counsel room.

"I don't see why you want to find her so bad, when you have me" Merle bounded on to his lap pouting.

"Jealous?" Van said letting his hands run over her body.  He then whispered softly on her lips, "If she didn't posses great power I would not bother with her."

Merle's met his lips in a passionate kiss.  "Well until you find her you can bother with me instead."

******************************************************************************************************************************

Hitomi suddenly sat up in a panic.  Everything was so dark. Thousands of questions swarmed threw her head.  She tried to sit up but felt nauseated.  She lay back down and instantly went back to sleep.

******************************************************************************************************************************

The figure in black silently loomed over the sleeping girl.  He lightly reached out to touch her cheek but drew his hand back.  He stalked out of the room into another one. 

******************************************************************************************************************************

Hitomi woke again.  She groaned her muscles felt stiff and sore. She slowly sat her up. Nausea overwhelmed her, she tried to fight it, and she slowly attempted to stand up. It was to much for her, she plopped right back down.

"I see you're awake" a dark, velvety voice spoke. It was deep and rolling, musical in the most sensuous way. 

"Wh-Where am I?"

"Your at my home until you recover." The figure walked to her bed.  Hitomi saw that even his face was masked.  He was tall, and Hitomi saw muscles rippling threw a black cloak like shirt.  He gently bent over and started tending to her injuries. 

"Ouch! Watch were you put that stuff, are you trying to kill someone or something?"

"Sorry"

 Mahogany eyes stared straight at her.  "What is your name?"

"Hitomi. Hitomi Kanzaki" Hitomi saw those beautiful eyes widen. They struck a familiar chord within her…she had seen those eyes somewhere before. If her head would stop pounding maybe she could remember.

******************************************************************************************************************************

The figure's mind was reeling in shock.  Hitomi…Hitomi was here, this beautiful woman was Hitomi, he remembered back, he recalled a slim, girl with a boyish hair cut.  Now she was a woman with all the right curves and shoulder length hair.  'What the heck' 'Wait a minute…if she's here, why isn't Van with her?' 'Aren't they married?'

"Do you have a husband or a lover of some kind?"

"No, I'm not married or I don't have a guy or anything like that."

"Oh"

"You want to know why don't you?"

"No, I was just wondering what a beautiful woman like you was doing all alone."

"Well, the guy I was going to married…he cheated on me."

'Van cheated on her, this beautiful woman…I think he needs his brain examined'  "Van cheated on you."

"Why is that so hard to believe?  Yes, the bastard did…. on a stupid cat girl…" Hitomi softly related the story to him…as tears started to gather in her emerald eyes.  Hitomi did her best to blink them away…. then a thought struck Hitomi 'Why am I telling him all this…but its like I can trust him, naturally…weird.'

The figure seethed with anger on the inside as he heard the story. He saw the tears that looked like liquid diamonds gather in her eyes. 'God, what was the matter with Van, he let this beautiful woman slip through this fingers'

"I'm sorry, I think Van has problems, you're a very beautiful woman, there is no need to shed tears for him it was his mistake not yours."

******************************************************************************************************************************

'O MI GOD he called me a beautiful woman! A beautiful woman!' Hitomi thought excitedly.  'Calm down, calm down, uck I'm making to big a deal over what he just called me…'I'm not even over Van…. well…maybe I am…' she study the profile of the masked stranger…'I wonder why he wears a mask…maybe he has a deformity or something. But I wish I could see his face…he has such beautiful eyes.'

"I will leave you to rest.'  With that the stranger departed the room.

******************************************************************************************************************************

"Where are you Hitomi…. don't you know I'm coming for you" Van smirked (well doesn't it remind of you somebody familiar ~_@) Van walked back through the forest to his castle.

******************************************************************************************************************************

Hitomi's health slowly improved.  Her bruises and cuts had nicely healed.  She also was able to get up and walk around.  She walked around her room. She was curious about this man. Who was he…what did the rest of this place look like? But then she sat down again, 'Well it couldn't hurt,' she reasoned. Hitomi stood up again, this time Hitomi was going to explore.  She got up and walked to the door, opened it and started down the long, dark, hallway.

Welll…that was part TWO! Hope you enjoy it…. hehehehe…you'll soon find out who's gonna capture Hitomi heart…. till next time
