Chapter 3: Friends Are Everywhere

"Oh my gosh…Hitomi!"
Van looked from girl to girl. Running a hand through his untidy hair he tried to sort out the strange events that had happened today.
"You…guys know each other?"
Millerna was just about to answer when another girl pushed her way to the door.
Dark red hair and wild brown eyes, the girl seemed to be about Hitomi's age, twenty , more or less she should've been described as a woman and not as a girl. Roughly brushing a wild strand of her hair behind an ear the woman gave a small pout, her hands placed firmly on her hips glaring at both Millerna and Van not noticing the mute woman for the moment.
"What is the meaning of this? Here I am, being left out on something important!"
Her wild brown eyes drifted upwards suddenly meeting Hitomi's bright green ones. A gasp and if it hadn't been for Millerna stopping Yukari from momentarily falling backwards she would have hit the floor.
"Oh my lord…Hitomi!"
Letting out an exasperated sigh Van ran another hand through his unruly locks. He really didn't like to be kept out of things.
"Look, let's go inside…because, is it me or does it seem as if we've been standing here for a few hours,"
Millerna immediately nodded, pushing the shock away temporarily before a slender hand shot out to grasp Hitomi's wrist and pulled her roughly into the spacious apartment. She had almost shut the door when Van stuck a foot between the door and the doorframe. Wincing Van retracted his foot.
"So sorry Van! I forgot you were there!" Millerna said, a hand pressed lightly against her mouth
'That makes me feel so much better' Van bitterly thought before slipping inside with a grunt.
When the door was finally closed, things became a little bit chaotic.
"Where the hell were you, man!"
A man in his early twenties glanced at Van from the couch. His hair lazily dancing into his eyes and his eyes were a startling bright green.
"So you finally decided to come home?"
"C'mon guys, give him a break, look what he brought with him!"
Two men had entered the conversation. One from the bathroom, whose long hair reached his waist, stark blonde and sea blue eyes. The other from the kitchen, his long dark hair was tied back and he had small golden rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.
The man on the couch was just about to say something when another person came into the living room. It was starting to get a bit…how should it be said…crowded.
Hair dyed light pink and grey blue eyes; she seemed to be about nineteen. With cattish features the girl turned towards the man on the couch who, in turn was cowering with fear.
"That's it Mamoru!"
"What are you talking about!" The man who was currently being called Mamoru, the couch potato stared at her, feigning surprise.
If looks could kill…Mamoru would be dead by now.
The pink haired woman proceeded to approach the coach potato, her eyes throwing daggers.
"You know what I mean," She snarled.
Mamoru gave a nervous laugh and edged away from her on the couch.
"C'mon, Merle…it was only a chocolate…"
"A chocolate! A chocolate! That 'chocolate' was the chocolate that had the strawberry filling…the last one…"
The other two men looked at each other.
"Should we interrupt, Dryden?" asked the blonde man
"No actually…I don't think we should Allen," replied the other
Yukari and Millerna stared at the two men incredulously and Hitomi tried her best to stifle a laugh.
Van cocked an eyebrow, "What are you two? B1 and B2!"
The two men who were called Dryden and Allen looked at each other, each having the same exact smirks.
"Are you thinking what I am Dryden,"
"I think I am Allen,"
The two women, excluding Merle and Hitomi, burst out in laughter. Even Van had a grin on his face.
Merle suddenly gave a gasp. The pink haired girl had been brought out of her anger when she had heard the laughter. And what she saw astonished her. Raising a quivering finger Merle took in a shuddering breath.
"Van…are you actually…grinning…"
Mamoru stared at him. Allen stared at him. Dryden stared at him. Yukari and Millerna were speechless which happened rarely. Van only gave them a strange look.
"Aren't I allowed to?"
Yukari coughed, the red haired maiden turned away, her eyes locking instantly on Hitomi.
"Hitomi…it's been so long…"
Millerna grabbed the emerald eyed mute and gave her a warm smile.
"Shush Yukari, I'm sure Hitomi would love to meet others before explaining!"
Hitomi nodded dumbly and letting the more-than-happy Millerna drag her around, she complied.
"Well, you know Van of course…well…hopefully," Millerna gave a brief smile to the raven haired man,
"And me and Yukari, you must have remembered!" The blonde haired woman dragged her up to the long brown haired man,
"This is Dryden Fassa, Dryden, Hitomi,"
Dryden gave a half smile and gave a bow, "A pleasure to meet you,"
Millerna scowled at him who, in response, he smiled amused, a rather playful glint in his eyes. Moving on, she pulled Hitomi towards Allen.
"Hitomi, this is Allen Schezer,"
Hitomi nodded towards him and Allen flashed a charming smile. Van frowned, slightly unhappy,knowing the man's ways and for some strange reason, he didn't want Hitomi to be involved with a man like him. If it had been any other woman he wouldn't have given a damn. When the two girls reached Merle, the welcome from her wasn't as friendly as others.
"This is Hitomi, Merle, Merle is Van's…very distant cousin,"
Merle stared at said girl and blinked, "Right," was her dry reply
Millerna tilted her head closer towards Hitomi's and whispering, she assured her there was more to Merle than her tough attitude.
Finally, they came to the last person whom Hitomi had to meet.
Millerna gave a soft smile towards Mamoru. "And this, is Mamoru, Mamoru this is Hitomi,"
Mamoru finally scooped up all the energy he had and stood up from the couch. His full height contrasting against Hitomi, about a head taller than her, Mamoru ruffled his own brownish blonde hair.
"Hey!"
Slightly older and bright green eyes that could almost out shine Hitomi's own, Millerna suddenly saw a startling similarity between the two.
Mamoru held out his hand, a crooked smile donning his features.
"As Millerna said…I'm Mamoru, welcome to our humble abode,"
Hitomi hesitated but, with one look at his crooked smile, she couldn't help but feel as if she could trust him. With a fragile trust, Hitomi slipped her hand into Mamoru's, and they shook their hands. A sudden strange tug at the back of both their minds shocked them. It was as if they knew each other, but at the same time, didn't.
Millerna was concerned. She stared at her old friend's face. It was strange for Hitomi not to have said anything. Why wasn't she talking? It scared her slightly, what had happened to Hitomi when she was gone?

I say this was a bit short. I was going to do a bit more but I can't be bothered to. But anywho, sorry for the long wait and…i think I just might have to put this story on hold but that doesn't I mean I'll forget it. I'll just continue this after I finish my other story.
Anywho, Elarai!
