Love and Sadness

Hitomi slowly opens her eyes to a brightly shining sun and beautiful sounds of chirping birds. She got out of bed and went over to open her window. She grabbed her clothes and got changed, came out and brushed her hair. After she was finished, she went down stairs to get something to eat. Once she was half way to the school she met her friends. As they all walked to school, Hitomi just walked listening to her friend babbling about their boyfriends.

To Hitomi the day went very slowly. It was finally last class. ' History. Great the most boring class ever' she thought to herself. After listening for about an half hour, she started to drift to sleep. AS she slept, Hitomi had a very romantic vision.

'I seen to be in a field. Who's that? Oh my god, its Van. As Hitomi ran closer to Van she could see what he was wearing. His black as night baggy pants and a white clean dress shirt. He had a forest green belt like wrap around his waist. His black boots ran up his leg to his knees and attached to the top of each boots were knee pads. All she wanted to do was jump into his arms. When she got closer, Van jumped. Hitomi looked around to found him, worried he had left her. But the next thing she knew she was sorrowing high above the ground in Van's arms, his wings spread as far as they could go...'

" Hitomi. What is the causes for the attack on Pearl Harbor?" asked the history teacher.

Hitomi woke up not remembering where she was to, but looked out the window next to her thinking of Van.

"Hitomi, answer my question please," said the half annoyed teacher. Hitomi not knowing what was going on around her, continued to look out the window.

"I love you Van" stated Hitomi lovingly. Hitomi completely came back to reality when she heard her classmates laughing at her. Her face went as red as a apple as she sank down into her seat.

Van opened his eyes slowly and started to get up. He grabbed his clothes he was going to wear today and headed for the bathroom. He got dressed and started to wash his face. He had a feeling this is going to be a bad day. He walked out of his room and started down the hall. People from every direction was coming at him wanting information on want to do when the princess comes and weather they should put her in the queen's room considering she might be his new "wife". This really made Van mad because he was not marring anybody, but Hitomi. He turned to two high wooden doors and went inside of this study and slammed the door in their faces. All of the servants stood there surprised of what just happened. The king ever slammed the doors in peoples faces! That was improper for a king.

Van sat down at his desk and looked at Hitomi's picture. It was one that was taken about two months before ever came to Gaea. It was her at her Aunt's wedding and she was the maid of honor. Van was amazed about how she looked. She had a light green dress on and the top was tight to her body, but the bottom flowed out nicely. He loved the way she looked. He could only picture what she looked like now that she had grown up. He sat in his chair just staring at the picture when a knock came upon the door.

" I wish not to be disturbed" Yelled Van fro inside of his study.

" Van, its me Allan," Allan said in a serious voice.

Van sighed and told him to come in. Allan opened the door and slowly walked to te front of Van's desk. He looked at his sad face just staring at Hitomi's picture. He was going to say something, but decide not to.

" Van. There's another report of someone around the Zaibach Empire," Allan stated.

" We still haven't figured out who it is? We need to find out who it is. We need to see if they are a threat," Van said with concern and annoyance in his voice.

" I agree with you Van, but what are we going to do?" asked Allan.

"I don't know," said Van "Just give me some time and I will figure something out."

" If that is what you want Van. So far they have not be seen as a threat nor have they even done anything." Allan said while bowing. He straightened up and left the room.

Hitomi walked back home from school in a daze thinking about Van. This seems to be the only thing she was doing lately, but this daze was broken when Yukari came running up to her. " Hitomi are you ok?" " I need to go back Yukari" was the only thing that Hitomi said. Yukari just looked at her trying to figure out what the hell she was talking about. " Hitomi, what are you talking about?"

" Yukari I miss him. I miss Van. When I am with him I feel happy and safe. Here on Earth I feel out of place. School seems pointless. I want to be with him. I love him and he loves me. I need Van," Hitomi cried.

Later at her house, she walked to her room waiting for supper. She laid down on her bed to rest before she would be called to come down. She was asleep for about an half an hour when her mom came and woke her up. Supper went as usual, everyone talked about their day. When Hitomi was finished she put her dishes away and was about to go back upstairs her parents told her to sit back down. Hitomi looked at hem with a wondering and worried face afaird something had happened within their family. Then her mom talked first.

" Hitomi, Tory I have got some news. Your dad got a promotion today at work" said her mom.

"That's our dad," congratulated Tory.

" He is now the head of construction for a new company branch." continued her mom.

" New company branch? There is already a company branch in every major city of Japan.!" Stated Hitomi with a worried voice knowing what was coming next.

" You're right. My company is putting a new branch in LA, in the USA" Hitomi's dad said.

" Hitomi, we are moving," It was those unwanted words that came from her mother that really shocked Hitomi.
