Van was laying in bed thinking about Hitomi.. He frowned. Merle was sitting next to him. She sighed softly as she saw him frown. "what is it King Van?"Merle asked him softly. Van jumped when he heard Merle's voice. "Oh..Nothing."he said softly. Merle sighed,"You are thinking about Hitomi aren't you?"she asked softly. Van nodded sadly," Yeah,"he said. "Me too,"Merle said quickly. I don't think she would even recognize me."she said rather proudly. Van nodded,"Nor do I. You have changed so much!"he said smiling at Merle. She had really changed, Her hair much longer and her body no longer a little girl's body. Her body was now a very pretty women's body. She and Allen were soon to be married. Van, however, was not so happy about that.

-----------------------

Hitomi woke up in a place that looked like she had been there,'Wait...Can it be?' She quickly sat up from the bed she was laying in. "So your awake."Came the voice of the person who was sitting next to her. "ALLEN!"Hitomi yelled. Allen wrapped his arms around Hitomi's neck. "Your back! What are you doing back? I thought you went home! Hitomi I have missed you so!" Hitomi smiled. "I have also missed you Allen!"she said smiling. He let go of her,"What happened to you? I found you laying outside of my door. You passed out."he said. Hitomi nodded,"The last thing I remember is getting home and falling asleep and then seeing my- MY VISION!"She yelled standing up. She quickly ran to the door,"Thanks Allen I'll see you later!"she said ran out the door. Allen smiled softly, "She never gives up does she?"he asked himself and laughed and stood up and walked out of the room.

------------------

Hitomi ranas fast as she could.Her legs looking like they didn't even touch the ground. She looked around. She came to a part that didn't look like she had been there. She saw something move. Hitomi quickly ran behind a tree. She saw the face of a person she thought to be dead. A person who use to be enemy. Her face went pale as a ghost. She looked at him slowly. "Floken...No..he is dead!"she said softly to her self. Floken tuned and looked at Hitomi. His eyes meet hers. She quickly turned away. As she was doing so she cut herself badly on the bush. She quickly ran past Floken hoping she was to fast for him. She ran and looked back at him. Her leg kept on bleeding but she didn't know about it.

---------------

Merle sat outside near where Hitomi was looking for them. Merle was playing with a small bow and arrow Allen made for her. She smiled when she thought about Allen and how they are in love. She had to smirk. She couldn't wait to tell Hitomi. Hitomi would probably have a heart attack.

Van sat near Merle. His sword at hand. He always played with his sword when he was bored. He looked up every now and then at Merle. He sighed softly.

Hitomi ran faster. She didn't see them anywhere. She fell to her knees and passed out on the ground. Her face hit the ground hard. She didn't move though. She was too sleepy to move. Her eyes closed and She just laid there not moving at all.

Merle walked a bit farther and saw Hitomi laying on the ground. She ran over to Her. "Hitomi! NO WAY!"She yelled and started jumping up and down. She looked down at her and saw her passed out. She laughed softly and started yelling,"VAN! Get your ass over here!"she yelled. When he didn't come right away, Merle screamed, "NOW!"

Van ran over to her,"Merle, what on Gaea are you yelling about!"he asked Merle not seeing Hitomi at first. "Van, before I tell you to look down, promsie not to get freaked out?"Van looked at Merle,"Um.. Sure.." He said shaking his head. "Van look down!"she said. Van did what he was told and looked down and saw Hitomi. Van eyes gren big, and then he knelt down beside her, Merle, what happened!" He asked her, trying to remain calm. Merle gave him a blank stare,"I killed her."she said sighing,"Does it look like I know! I just found her laying on the ground."she said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Van took a few breaths,"I'm sorry Merle."he said smiling softly over at her. He picked Hitomi up as if she was as light as a feather. "Lets go Merle."he said smoothly and started walking towards the castle.

Merle nodded quickly and ran after him. She studied the back of Hitomi and then looked down at her leg. "Van...You might want to see this."she said softly.

Van looked over at Hitom's leg and shook his head,"What does she do to hurt herself all the time?"he asked and picked up his pace.
