A/N: Woot! Two reviews! Hey, that's pretty good for it only being the second day! XD I promise, I'll try to make the chapters longer! Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Hitomi walked around the village, she saw some people look at her strangely. She could careless right now. She walked fast, and then sighed once she got to the gates that opened to the castle. Two guards stood in front of it, they gave Hitomi a weird look. "What business do you have here?"One asked. Hitomi looked around, and then at the man that asked her the question, "I'm here to see Van.. I mean, King Van."She said firmly. Oh boy, if they didn't let her in, she would give them a piece of her mind, maybe not even just a piece, she would give them the whole thing! The guard didn't open the gate, or he didn't even make move, telling her, she wasn't going in. "Unless you have King Van's permission to get inside, then you aren't getting in." Hitomi clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. "You.. You'd better let me in!"She yelled and then walked up to the guard and stood on her tippy toes so she could get right in his face. "LET ME IN NOW!" The guard looked at her, he shook his head. "No, lady, you aren't getting in."He said and gave her a small push. Hitomi stumbled back, and she then grabbed a rock that was on the ground and chucked it at his head, "LET ME IN!" The guard moved his head right before the rock hit him. "Please, leave now."He said and then whispered something into the other guards ear. The guard nodded and took off. Hitomi started to follow after the guard, maybe leading to another entrance into the castle, but then, the guard caught by her arm, "No, I don't think so. Your staying right here."He said and then threw against the gate. Hitomi winced as she hit the gate. "Oww.."She whispered and then closed her eyes.

As the guard ran, he entered through a door. (Duh.) He ran down the hall and then stopped and knocked on the King's door. "Sire!"He yelled. This is were the king spent most of his time, so, he thought he would be in there. Soon, the door handle clicked, and then door began to open. There, standing in the door way, was none other, then Van. Nothing about Van changed. He had grown taller, but, besides that, it looked like the same old Van. "Sire."The guard said and then bowed and then stood up. "We have a girl causing us some trouble down at the gate, she says that she has come to see you. Mind if come take a look at her?"He asked. Van gave the guard a nod. "Alright, I'll be right there."He said and then walked back into his room. He looked at the cat lady siting on the couch, he sighed, "Merle, I'll be right back, there is someone at the gate, giving the guard's some trouble."He said to then turned on his heels and shut the door behind him, following the guard. Merle sighed, "Hurry back, Lord Van!"She yelled through the closed door. Van walked down the hall way, and then he opened the front castle doors and walked outside, where it had started to rain. He could only see the back of the girl, he then, started to walk down the pavement to gate. The guard following closely behind him.

Hitomi looked at the guard, "Why won't you just let me in!"She hissed and then looked up at the sky, watching some of the rain drops fall and hit the ground.

The guard sighed, "Because, we don't know who you are, and we don't now if you would do anything to harm King Van. Are you really that stupid?"He muttered and then looked at her, "We have King Van coming down himself to see if you are telling us the truth."

Hitomi let a small gasp. Oh my God! I don't what to say to him! I didn't even think about that this was going to happen! Oh God! Okay, Hitomi, calm down. Take deep breaths. She told herself. She closed her eyes tight and then opened them, and began to wait for Van to come and see her.

Van stopped at the gate, "So, you are the one who have been causing my guards so much trouble, eh?"He asked the girl and then sighed. What could she possibly have done to make the guards come and tattle on her. He thought to himself. He looked at girl. "Turn around, so I can see your face."He said to her.

"Um.. I'm not sure you want to."Hitomi said, and then closed her eyes tight.

"Please! I just need to know who you are. Tell me your name, and turn around."Van ordered.

"Fine.. As you wish, your highness."Hitomi whispered and then slowly, she turned on her heels and faced Van. Even though bars stood between the two, Van knew who that was from the very moment she turned. "Hello."Hitomi said then gave him a small smile

Van mouthed dropped. "Hitomi.."
