Thanks for the reviews everyone! I finally decided to update since I was inspired or actually I'm just mainly procrastinating at having to go to bed! I'd write individual responses to the reviews but ff doesn't like that so yeah! Not to mention whatever questions you have you just got to read and find out and if you still don't understand it then oh well!


Chapter Fifteen

Today was the day of the wedding and the time in between the day that Van had asked her to marry him and today had went by so fast since there where preparations and everything else that she had to do. As future queen, the advisers occasionally asked her to join them in court and see views of how the people on the Mystic Moon would do it which was difficult since she was never one for politics not to mention they lived in a whole different world then Gaea did back on the Mystic Moon. She was putting her wedding dress on when Merle knocked on the door and came in with out even waiting for Hitomi to tell her.

"Van-Sama's busy so I thought that I'd bother you." Merle said which made Hitomi look at Merle strangely. "He has to greet guests and other things…"

"Oh, I'm not sure how Fanelia's customs are." Hitomi admitted. "For weddings or much about any of the other things."

"You'll learn." Merle said yawning. "Not that hard once you catch on."

"Easy for you to say you've lived here your whole life."

"Most of it anyway. I was taken in by Van-Sama's parents when they found me." Merle corrected. "I was still very young back then, but I grown to like it here."

"Yes, I know what you mean. Fanelia, I like it better then Tokyo."

"Tokyo?" Merle asked curiously.

"The city I lived in back on the Mystic Moon." Hitomi answered. "It was always crowded there."

"Who would want to live in a place like that?" Merle asked and Hitomi laughed.

"The Mystic Moon is different then Gaea Merle." Merle didn't know exactly how different Earth was from here. With Earth's advanced technology it made things easier to live, but there where also the downsides at having an easier way of life. Gaea made Hitomi understand how much they took things for granted on Earth. 'Earth…' She thought. Once she was married to Van she would never go back there. Fanelia would be her home for now on and she would be Van's wife and Van's queen. That's what she always wanted right? Was to be married to Van? To be close to him? To be able to stay at his side for the rest of her life? Something kept nagging at her. That dream that she had, the dream of this world to where she was sent back to the Mystic Moon as soon as they where married. Why did it bother her? Was it just a dream? Or was it a vision? She didn't know what to think of it. It bothered her, why it bothered her she didn't know.

"What's wrong?" Merle asked. "You're not thinking of backing out are you?" Merle asked and Hitomi looked at her.

"No of course not." Hitomi answered.

"Good, if you do I'll do more to you then use you as a scratching post." Merle promised.

"You know that I would never do anything to hurt Van." Hitomi protested and watched as Merle gave her a weird look.

"Really? Do you know how much you hurt him when you left Hitomi?" Merle asked. "Do you have any idea how much? He didn't show it but I know Van-Sama. Even when the time when you left for the Mystic Moon while we where in Asturia Van-Sama was hurt." Merle said. "I don't want to see him like that again. After you left the last time, he buried his grief in work." Merle said. "Don't do that to him again."

"I wouldn't dream of it." Hitomi didn't bother to mention to tell Merle that it was Van who had made her leave in the end. Why didn't she tell him clearly that she wanted to stay?

"Just know that once you become queen I won't treat you any differently." Merle promised.

Hitomi made a face a Merle. "I wouldn't have it any other way Merle. Same to you to."

"Good…" Silence echoed through the room as both females looked at one another.

A woman came in at that moment. "Lady Hitomi, it's time." The woman said and Hitomi nodded and couldn't help but to feel a strange feeling in her heart. She hoped and prayed that this wouldn't be the same outcome as her dream. They where to be married at the same spot where Van was crowned king however instead of making it private like it normally was, Van had made the spot to where everyone could see them. Merle had left before her and was already waiting amongst the crowd. Hitomi smiled once she caught a glimpse at Van. He was all dressed up, out of his normal red shirt and beige pants. He wore a black outfit, similar to what he wore when he was crowned king, but different. She caught a glimpse of three familiar blondes in the crowds. Millerna, Prince Chid, and Allen. Dryden was there as well but looked out of place against his blonde haired wife and nephew. Van was actually smiling which made Hitomi blush. She hoped that her blushing wasn't noticeable since her veil was behind her head. She could have sworn that she caught glimpses of Varie and her husband, the former king of Fanelia; Folken, and the two cat sisters, Balgus, and her grandmother's spirits where there. How they knew that she and Van where being married, she didn't even bother to think about it. Maybe that's why Van was smiling? Hitomi didn't know and didn't care.

A heavy feeling haunted Hitomi's heart as she tried to keep to the long ceremony but the dream kept a heavy weight on her mind. It was almost over and after the kiss she would be swept back to Earth; the thought of this made her grip Van's hand tighter. Before she knew it, the ceremony was over and she and Van where kissing. The crowd cheered and she was still there. Thank the gods, it was only a dream after all, or so she hoped.


She and Van where married now and she kept close to him as much as she could. This time the wedding had been different from that in the dream, Millerna was talking to her but she couldn't keep her mind on the conversation.

"I'm sorry Millerna – Hime, I just can't seem to keep focus right now." Hitomi apologized after Millerna had asked her what was wrong.

"Yes, you're looking forward to tonight aren't you?" Millerna asked winking which made Hitomi blush fiercely having had missed the wink.

"Millerna Hime!" Hitomi said and Millerna laughed. "I was just joking, relax."

"Sorry, I just have my mind on something."

"Well I'm keeping you from your other guests, you should go meet them."

"Hai." Hitomi answered not caring. Music began to play and Van walked over to her and dragged her out to dance even though he knew that she didn't know the steps to the dances. She was going to kill him!

"What's wrong?" Van asked in a voice that was barely a whisper.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I keep thinking about…"

"That dream that you told me about?" Van asked with a raised eye brow.

"Hai!" Hitomi answered not wanting to look in his eyes as she answered.

"I won't let you go that easily; I've waited too long for you." Van promised.

"Van…" Was all that Hitomi could say and didn't even notice that the dance had ended.


After the party everyone retired to their rooms and Hitomi blushed as she and Van retired to theirs. "I won't make you do anything that you don't want to." Van promised as he shut the door behind them.

"Van, you won't." Hitomi promised. "You know that I came in to this marriage willingly Van Fanel." Van chucked. "Yes, and it seems as if I have a promise to keep." Van said somewhat childishly.

Hitomi looked at her husband curiously and felt as he picked her up and put her on the bed. He bent down to her neck and bit her which made Hitomi yelp a bit in surprise. "What…"

"I promised I would bite you on our wedding night." Van said and Hitomi could have hit him but Van caught her wrist before she could. "It's kind of like a mark." Van explained. "One of the king's of Fanelia started it as to mark their mate since the mark doesn't disappear they mate for life. I think it was one of the earliest ones who got the idea from the dragons."

"That's… "

"Yes well just to let you know it works both ways meaning that both have to mark one another." Van explained and Hitomi face faulted which made Van grin. "It's going to be an interesting night."

"If I decide to let you have an interesting night." Hitomi corrected Van who left out the detail about the marking.

"I thought you said that you would…"

"That was before you left out that little detail Van." Hitomi corrected Van enjoying watching his grin turn in to a frown. He was easily played with. Van sat on the side of the bed. "I'm just joking Van!" Hitomi said laughing which made Van just look at her with an unreadable expression. Hitomi sighed, it was going to be a longbut interestingnight.


There you go! The long awaited chapter. I don't know how much longer this will be because I'm running out of ideas. Well I have an idea but I think it would getboring after a while and I want to finish this fanfic while I still have a nack for writing it. I think I'll write maybe one or two more chapters to this and maybe a few more before that if I get inspired again. Maybe after I finish this one I can possibly write a sequal or if I don't then I'll have more time to work on the other what... four? Thanks again for all of the reviews. I'd think everyone individually but well ff doesn't like that and not to mention I think my hands would die. Ja ne for now.
