Where to go

"We're moving," Hitomi yelled, "We can't. I love it here. In addition I'm almost finished school. I only six months left."

"Honey, I know you are upset, but there's nothing we can do about it. Your dad's new job amazing amount of money and we need it. We need it even more if you want to go to university."

" But what if I don't want to go to university? How do you know what I want. Just please stop guessing," Hitomi cried as she ran to her room. When she got there she slammed the door and cried.

After about an half an hour her crying semi stopped, but when her mom's words came back to her she only cried more. She got off her bed and walked to her desk where a picture of her and her mom standing proud. She remembered that day. Her and her mom beat her father and brother to the top of a hill. Usually looking at this picture happy memories came, but now it was nothing, nothing anger. She throw the picture with all the energy she had at the wall and watched it shatter into pieces. Right now all she wanted to do was to get rid of her anger. Hitomi started to get so upset that anything close by was thrown around the room.

When Hitomi was finished her fit she was sitting in a corner crying yet again. An image of Van came to her and questions like " am I going to be able to see them again?" and " how will I get there?" These questions just made thing worse for her. She decided that she had to phone Yukari. As she sat there listening to the rings to through, Hitomi tried to calm down. Finally after a few rings a voice could be heard on the other end.

" Hello" answered Yukari.

" Yukari, we need to talk" sniffed Hitomi

"Hitomi are you ok? What's wrong?"

" My dad has a new job and I happy for him, but because of it we are ... moving."

" What? You can! What about school and track? There's only 6 months left!"

" I know. I don't want to go" After a long talk with Yukari, Hitomi hung up and sat in a corner when a vision came to her.

She was in Altantis were she read off a stone wall years before. Then she is transported to what looked like a lab. There was many people standing around talking. " New information has been found. The only spot that people could come back here from Earth is the shrine of dragons." one stated. "So what you are saying is that if we seal the shrine of dragons then the girl Kanzaki well not be able to come to this world and mess up the plans again?" The answer to that was yes. Hitomi felt her heart go to her throat. She wanted to cry, but to shocked to do so. If she moves, she will have to connections to Van, but even worst, these people where going to seal it so she could not come back at all.

When Hitomi was back in reality, she decided to go for a walk. Before she left she had a strange feeling that she had to bring some extra clothes with her. Not knowing why, but she did it anyways. She grabbed her stuff and started to walk. She walked for about an half an hour not knowing where she was going but when she looked up she realize she was at track. She walked over to a bench and sat down. As she was there she started to recall memories . The first one was of meeting Allan...

' An owl flew in and started to peck at this moleman's head. Then he came in. " It's you again. You weren't satisfied with stealing, now you attack a powerless women. Un forgivable." Allan punches moleman and knocks him out. " Are you ok, miss? Why are you here? Do you do you have a reason? Anything wrong?" Hitomi jumps into his arms crying.

Hitomi could remember what Allan looked like standing proud with his sword at his side. . She wondered what happened between Allan and the Princess. With that thought she returned to the memory of first meeting her...

' A girl hitomi's age came riding down on a brown horse. She hopped off and talks to Allan for a bit. Then she turned to me. "Well then, shall we go" Millerna said, " You there, why don't you carry Allan's baggage?"

Hitomi laughed at the thought. She found it funny that years ago Millerna thought she was a maid. She remembered Millerna talking about her visit to Fanila and how she had seen Van and his brother...

"Oh Van. I miss you so much. I still can remember the day we meet." ...

' A pillar of light appeared out of nowhere. Suddenly she ran into a young boy. " Who are you? Where am I?" yelled Van.

"On Van..."Suddenly she could hear a voice. It was his voice. She got up and started for the shrine. Ever since she got back she had a feeling like she had to come here. When she was there she sat down on the cold wet ground. She was looking around when she noticed a piece of metal. As she picked it up she realize it was a piece of Van's amour from where the dragon ripped it off. It sirprised her that it was still here.

" My love, Why... Why can't I be with you. I love you so much. Please come and bring me back."

As Hitomi sat and cried she heard someone coming. When she looked up she seen that it was Yukari. She looked at Yukari's face only to see a wondering, saddened face. She contiued to walk towards her and hugged Hitomi.

"Come on Hitomi, lets go home."

When they got to Hitomi's house, she went steaight to sleep. Yukari laid Hitomi's still packed bag down and went home. As Hitomi slept she heard her grandmother taking to her. She was telling her to go and find Van. Hitom I got up as fast as she could and packing more stuff knowing she will not come back. She ran down stairs and written her mother a note explaining where she was going. She put it on the table and ran out the door. Hitomi ran all the way to the shrine and when she go there she was out of breath.

" Van I wish to be with you. Please come and get me." she wished towards the sky, bu tnothing happened. " Please send me back."

She kept trying, but every time nothing happened. Hitomi got mad and frustrated. She wanted Van to be there and comfort her. After 30 minutes of wishing she was being lifted up in the air.
