Sorry for the incontinence If you didn't save this to your favorites. I decided to change the name since I felt like it fit the story better then "Two Worlds" Since they aren't on two worlds any more if you know what I mean. Return from the Mystic Moon sounds much more interesting. Also I changed my pen name to Darkia because I recently started to use the name in one of my other stories. Sorry once again. Oh yeah the rating has been pushed up to T for Teen because well…. They are an engaged couple as you know and well yeah…. I don't plan in to turning this in to a lemon or anything, but there may be hints at things in the future. Also Van's advisers are completely made up!

Wings To Fly
Hitomi was ordered to stay in bed for the rest of the week by the doctors and Van so that she could recover easier. She couldn't stand it much longer, and suddenly had the urge to run again like she had done back on Earth, but it hurt even went to get up to go do personal things that had to be done. Merle had locked herself up in her room for the good part of the week. Van had to have his advisers cancel the advent that was planned for tonight, she had protested it to Van that she could still go through with it and that was when he had ordered that she remained in bed. Hitomi didn't just want to sit here and think of how she had ruined everyone's life. She had ruined her family's life, her brother's, Yukari and Almando. (Haven't you noticed that everyone seems to put these two as a couple?) The young couple, her best friends had just engaged to get married, and then well she had died on the day that they where suppose to tell Yukari's parents. 'It's all my fault.' She thought to herself as she stared down through the window as she laid on her side. Van came to see her whenever he had the chance, and even during his meal breaks he would come and one of the maids would bring him something to eat, or at least Hitomi would make him eat after she asked them to bring something for the king.
She knew that she was suppose to stay in bed, but she just wanted to see if she could do it. 'I need to get up.' She thought to herself as she pushed herself out of bed. 'Rest isn't the only thing that you need in order to get better.' Hitomi thought as she remembered Doctor Millerna's orders on how she needed a lot of rest. 'I can't stand it any longer.' When she got up, she clutched hold of part of her back as she felt the pain. 'I can make it to at least the other room.' She thought as she looked to the patio that led in to the other room that Van had given her. Van had given her to what she would consider a whole house! Five rooms, one was her bedroom, a huge bathroom, a guess room, and she still couldn't figure out what to do with the other two rooms. Van had gone a little over board on when she had agreed that she would be staying, and now the rooms would be completely useless since she planned on moving in to Van's room after the wedding. Husbands and wives where suppose to share the same room after all. The thought of being Van's wife still made her blush brightly and terribly whenever she thought about it. She couldn't help it, she had dreamed of it for so long, and yet, it was finally happening. Though one thing disturbed her still, as long as she had known Van, they still haven't had their first kiss yet. Even for a tomb boy, it was important for her to get a first kiss from the man that they loved. Yukari and Almando had kissed many times, in public and most likely even more often in private. Then again, Hitomi hadn't even been shown in public that she was Van's girl, or now currently fiancé. She sighed once she got to her sitting room and collapsed on top of a near by couch, making sure that she didn't land on her back. "No wonder why Millerna won't let me up yet." Hitomi said out loud to herself as she laid there, now being too tired to move back in to the other room. She suddenly heard the door being slammed open in the next room, and sighed.
"Hitomi? Hitomi!" The king's voice called frantically as he looked around, the empty bedroom, knowing that she wasn't suppose to get out of bed.
"I'm in here!" Hitomi managed to yell loudly enough for the young king to hear and could hear his footsteps running toward her sitting room. She frowned when she looked up to see a very frantic king. "Thank the gods Hitomi, what where you thinking?" He asked as he stared at the young woman who was to be his queen.
"Sorry, I just wanted to prove that I could walk that's all. I'm not as weak as I look." Hitomi said calmly.
"When I didn't see you in there, I thought… I thought…" The young raven haired king started to say but instantly shut up as soon as he saw Hitomi slowly walking towards him. "Hush." Hitomi said softly once she got to him and placed a finger to his lip. "I'm here, I wasn't kidnapped again." Hitomi said half sarcastically and could see Van hold back his laughter.
"That's not what I meant. HITOMI!" Van shouted as he saw Hitomi suddenly start to fall to the floor but caught her half way. "You shouldn't be up." Van protested.
"I'm alright, we need to do this thing of yours tonight don't we? You did invite all of those guests." Hitomi said.
"They can wait until you're better." Van said as he gently picked the girl from the Mystic Moon up and placed her back on to the couch. "Everyone else can wait."
"I won't stand for a long time, I promise Van." Hitomi said not wanting to make the king look bad. "And I won't get out of bed tomorrow."
"If you act like that tonight, everyone will think what a weak queen I have chosen." Van said playfully.
"Van…" Was all that Hitomi could say before she caught hold of his eyes.
"Are you absolutely sure you want to go through with this Hitomi? You nearly collapsed on me earlier."
"I'll be fine, I just need to go slow. I don't want to make you look bad." Hitomi said. "And I want a reason for Merle to get out of her room as well. Did she not get ordered to go by you, your highness?" Hitomi asked and watched as Van frowned.
"Yes, she was." Van said. "But that was before all of this."
"Please let me do it. A queen should go through with whatever planned no matter what, unless if she's giving child birth of course, then the event can wait." Hitomi said blushing slightly at the fact of her being with Van's child. She could tell that the idea made Van blush as well. "We are going to have children aren't we?" Hitomi asked as she looked in to his eyes, locking hers with his.
"Yes, of course." Van said as he now felt the heat rise in to his face at the thought. "You still have an hour you know." Van said quietly. "I don't approve of it, and Millerna will kill me, but you insist… I don't approve of it, but…"
"DON'T YOU DARE LET HER VAN FANEL!" Came a booming voice from the Princess Millerna.
"Millerna…" Hitomi said and watched as the angry princess stormed in to the room. "You don't understand…"
"I PERFECTLY UNDERSTAND HITOMI KANZAKI!" Millerna shouted and Hitomi looked beyond Millerna and watched as the young knight she once fancied back away a few steps. "YOU WILL NOT GO TONIGHT!"
"BUT VAN Made…" Hitomi started to say but realized that it hurt to move as she suddenly stood up. "Made promises to people. My mother always told me that it was your obligation to keep the promise that you made. And it would look bad as him being the Fanellian King! YOU of all people should know how it is to make such engagements as these and then not being able to go through with them. I know from not experience, but from common sense that it will make the country, and the king look bad."
"I ordered you to stay in bed, and I can see how much it hurts you to stand as is. I'm sure the other doctors would agree in making you stay in bed!" Millerna hissed dangerously.
"I'm going, you can stand by me at all times if you want to keep an eye on me Millerna if you want." Hitomi insisted. "I'm not going to let Van break his promise on this one."
"Fine, but RIGHT afterwards, you have to be back in bed and will agree to be in bed until I tell you to, do you understand Hitomi?" Millerna asked strictly and watched as the future queen of Fanellia nodded. "Alright, now we need to get you ready." Millerna said and turned to Van. "Sorry to make your visit to your future bride short Van, but it starts once the sun had set and she needs to get ready."
"Alright." Van said hesitantly. "I want to speak with her alone for a moment if you don't mind." Van said somewhat embarrassed. "If you could wait outside these doors to Hitomi's room, I would like to be alone with her for a while. We need to talk about something…" Van said hesitantly not wanting to offend the young blonde princess.
"Understood, Allen, let's go. You'll call me when you're ready?" Millerna asked and watched as Hitomi sat back down, obviously not being able to stand much longer.
"Yes Millerna, I'll call, or will send Van." She said with a devilish grin.
"Alright, come Allen." The princess said once again and trailed off after the knight. "Yes your highness." Was all that Allen said as they left the room. It was then when Van waited to hear the bedroom door open and close before he sat down next to Hitomi. "I don't want you to do this, but I have something important to tell you." The young king said and watched as Hitomi watched him. "This…" He said as he pulled out a single red feather. "Is obviously a feather that looks something like one of the feathers from my wings, though the only difference is, is that this feather is red."
"Yes, it looks exactly like the one that I touched that day when you first showed them to me." Hitomi said and watched as Van's expression turn more serious then anything. "What about it?" The wind goddess asked.
"I found many of them around you the day that I found you Hitomi." Van said almost too silent for Hitomi to hear even though she was so close. "I didn't tell you sooner since there was so much madness going on and even now it still lingers." The madness that Van was referring to was the memories that Hitomi seemed to be missing. "I didn't want to upset you back then, by it since you had other things on your mind, but I was wondering if you…" Before he could finish his sentence, his fiancé took the feather and held it.
"It's soft, just like…" Hitomi started to say, but as she interrupted Van, she had an own interruption of her own, though of a different kind. She felt like she was floating in a sea of darkness, being held by someone else's will. She couldn't see their face, but she saw white angel wings, barely from the corner of her eyes as she tried to get even the slightest glimpse of the stranger.
"Do not fear me, Hitomi Kanzaki." The voice told her. "You are among friends, and always will be with the winged people for you will now be one with them." The voice told her as she floated there, feeling suddenly warm and calm, almost at peace. "Your life on Earth was short, but it is not yet time for you to fade away completely Lady Hitomi of the Mystic Moon." The voice continued as a hand suddenly went over the place where she was wounded, and it glowed a soft, warm glow. "You will be reborn as a child of Gaea, and be one of that young king's people." The voice told her. "He is coming with you, go to him." And with that the image started to fade away. "You have been given new powers, and strengths to protect your king and to protect our way of life." The voice said as it faded and then she could see Van, his arm stretched out to her. "Go to your king, and be one with him."
END OF VISION!
Hitomi gasped once she finally realized that she was once again in her quarters and was still holding the feather. "I did die Van." Hitomi said in shock. "I died and was born again here as my current self to be with you, that's what the vision means. It means that something was pulling everything together, but it was together with you."
"Hitomi…" Was all that Van could say almost too speechless to speak. "Look, look behind you." Van said as he stared at something that was obviously behind Hitomi and watched as she turned her head to the side and gasped.
"Wings Van! How…" It must have been that angel who saved her that gave her the wings. She assumed. Red wings, like the feather. "That would explain the feathers around me." Hitomi muttered and then gasped. "The presentation, how do I make them go back Van? I don't want people to know about this yet. It's bad enough that they don't like me because I'm from the Mystic Moon."
"Wish for them to go back Hitomi." Was all that Van said. "Simply wish for it." He smiled as she made them go back. "Good job." He said as he picked Hitomi up and started to carry her to her bedroom.
"What are you doing Van?" Hitomi asked as she blushed fiercely as she felt his warmth.
"Bringing you to your bedroom." Van answered. "I won't do anything, you should trust me on that one by now." Van said somewhat disappointed at his love's reaction.
"Sorry, it just takes some time getting use to." Hitomi said shyly.
"It's alright." Van said smiling as he placed Hitomi on the bed. "I'll go get Millerna." He started to walk toward the door, stopped and headed back toward Hitomi. "I almost forgot, we haven't kissed yet have we, milady?" Van asked strangely which made Hitomi's face flush brightly.
"No, no we haven't your highness." Hitomi said mocking Van and watched as he leaned in closer. She could have sworn that she never blushed as much once she felt Van's lips press against hers. She wanted to say that this was her first kiss, but that wasn't true, Allen had stolen that opportunity from Van two years ago on her first visit to Gaea. Van's kiss was different from Allen's however, it was more loving, and was better then Allen's in everyway. She could feel Van hesitantly break the kiss and then kissed her on the forehead. "I'm going to go get Millerna now." Van said, still having the thought of the kiss on his mind.
"Yes, I'll be here waiting like a good girl." Hitomi promised. "You know as well as I do that I can't get very far Van Fanel." Hitomi said with a child like giggle.
"You do that, Hitomi Kanzaki, see you tonight." Van said with a grin on his face, as he walked to the door. "Princess Millerna, she's all yours."
"Thank you your highness, now go get ready yourself." Millerna said smiling.
"Yes, thank you, take care of her please." Van said formally.
"That was the whole point of me staying now wasn't it?" Millerna said smiling.
"Yes, of course, excuse me princess." Van said bowing and then left. Allen and Millerna entered moments later.
"Now, what do you have to wear for such an occasion?" Millerna asked as she popped open Hitomi's cabinet. "I thought that one of the dresses in there should be good enough." Hitomi insisted and watched as Millerna just shook her head. "No, none of these will do. Allen, will you see if Hinata has that dress that his highness asked the seamstress to make?" She asked the knight who only raised an eye brow. "Do I have to order you on that Allen? I'm asking you nicely."
"Yes your highness, I'll go now." The knight said automatically and left the room.
"What dress? I didn't know anything about a dress." Hitomi said somewhat embarrassed.
"I helped the seamstress with the designs, I hope that it is to your liking." Millerna said with a strange smile. "I'm sure that his highness will love it. The color will look lovely on you."
