Hitomi looked at Van, she could see the sadness in his eyes. His eyes looked sadder then normal, they looked like the time when he saw Hitomi and Allen kissing. She held her breath, and then let it out, making a little noise. She felt sorry for him. She looked away, and then at Myelin. She had a feeling that this women was not a very nice one at all. Hitomi watched the way this women gave Van looks. It made Hitomi's heart sink. She looked down, "Sorry, your highness, but if it wouldn't be to much trouble, I would like a bedroom. I am not feeling so well, and I think it would be better if I could lay down.."Hitomi murmured.
Van, now, his full attention on Hitomi. He gave a her a worried look, but nodded, "Sure, I'll show you to your-" He was cut off by Myelin. "No, Van, I shall show her, you haven't even started to eat, I'll take the young lady to her room."She purred. She grabbed Hitomi's arm and began to pull her out of the room. Knowing Van wouldn't stop her. Myelin gave Van a charming smile, "I'll be back later, dear!"She said and shut the door behind the two of them. Once a little down the hall, Myelin let go of Hitomi's arm, "You, you best stay away from him!"She hissed. "I know who you are, your Hitomi! The one he is always speaking of! You're her, and you came back to ruin my relationship with Van!"She said and got in Hitomi's face.
Hitomi began to back away from Myelin. "W-what! I came here because.. Because I just had to!"She defend herself. "And you have no right to say anything!"She yelled and took off. This women, Hitomi wanted to slowly strangle her and watch her die painfully. She stopped running once she couldn't see Myelin anymore. She leaned up against the wall and sighed. "Oh Van. .Why didn't you wait for me? Why did you have to marry her.."She whispered.
Soon, after Hitomi ran off, Myelin sent a maid after her to show her where her bedroom would be. Hitomi smiled at the maid and bowed as for a thank you. "Alright Miss, I shall bring up some clothes for you later on tonight."The maid said and smiled softly and closed the door behind her. Hitomi looked around the room, and smiled softly. The room was perfect, just like the one she remembered. It had a large bed right by a huge window, that was also a balcony. There was a small desk in the right hand corner. She smiled softly and then walked over to the bed and laid down. She looked around the room, "I'm so happy to be here.."She whispered under her breath and then stood up and walked around the room some more. She stopped when she was in front of a mirror and looked at her reflection. At that very moment, she hated her hair. She sighed, "Maybe Van liked the old Hitomi.."She whispered and then took her hair out of the pony tail and shook her head. She looked at herself again, and sighed, "I'm going to cut my hair off.. It looks horrible long."She whispered and then put her hair back in the pony tail and ran over to the desk and began to search around in the drawers, looking for scissors. She really was going to cut her hair.
A knock at the door, made Hitomi jump. "C-come in!"She yelled and then closed the desk drawer, finding no scissors.
The door opened with a 'creeeeek'. In stepped in the old Maid, carrying a couple of new dresses. "Here you go, ma'am."She said and laid the dress down on her bed. There is night gown in the pile too." Hitomi smiled and bowed again, "Thank you. And now, please call me Hitomi, and I have a question.. Do you by any chance happen to have scissors?" She asked.
The sound of a bird chippering woke Hitomi up. Hitomi groaned and sat up and then threw her feet over the side of the bed. The night gown she is wearing a salmon pink one, it was silk and touched her ankles. She has matching robe as well. As her bare feet touched the cold ground, she shivered. "God, I'm still freezing.."She muttered and then walked over to the desk. She sat down in the chair and ran a hand through her.. her no longer long hair, but, her short, hair. She looked at herself in the mirror and smile. "Now, this is MUCH better."She whispered. Her hair, is now about the length it was the first time she had met Van, a bit longer then that, but not much longer. Since dear Leah, (The old maid) offered to cut her hair, instead of her doing it herself, Hitomi took the offer in a second. She smiled again and then stood up.
Hitomi grabbed a dress. It was a green one, it went with her eyes. She quickly took of the nightgown and then slipped on the green, beautiful dress. She smoothed it out and then smiled and turned around in a circle. It was the most beautiful dress she had ever seen! It was very long, covered her feet, and in the sleeves it flared out and the dress came off the shoulders a bit. She put her hands on her hips and then nodded, as in nodding in approval.
Hitomi then quickly wet her finger and tried to flatten out the cow lick in her hair. She sighed and then fianlly gave up.. Oh well. She then opened the door and rushed out of the bedroom. She ran down the hallway and then turned and stopped once she was in front of the dinning room door. She took a deep breath and opened it. She saw Van siting at a far end of the table, and Myelin, siting at the other far end.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Van looked up from his plate once he heard the door open. He looked at the girl who stood in the door way. "Hit-hitomi?"He asked, a bit suprised when he saw her hair. She looked like the first day he met her! Well, expect for the dress. She looked great. He could feel a small blush creep across his cheeks, so, he looked down, back at his plate.
Myelin turned around, "Oh.. OH, look at your hair, it really suits you, you being such of a tomboy, you can hardly tell the differnce between you and a boy, besides, that your wearing a dress. I really think it suits you."She said and then chuckled at her little on insult.
Hitomi nodded, "Well, why thank you."She murmered and then walked over to the table. She pulled a chair out and sat down. She was one chair away from Van, and one away from Myelin. She sighed softly, she wasn't going to let Myelin bother her, well, at least, she would try.
