A/N: Hello everyone! Sorry for the long wait. I had tons of exams this week and then me being sick, yeah. But, I shall try to write my chapters faster from now on! Sorry for the long wait again. And thanks for the correction on a review. Myelin and Van aren't married yet. So. Yeah.

"Myelin, you had no right to act that way."Van said. Hitomi had left the table soon after she had finished, she wanted to go take a walk in the gardens. "She is my guest, and you should treat her with respect!"He said and crossed his arms over his chest and sighed. He leaned back in his chair a bit.

"Oh Van. I'm sorry for being, um, 'rude'. But, I was only speaking my mind, my love."She said and gave him a innocent smile. "And I told she looked nice, so, I wasn't all being rude."

Van sighed again. "Just treat her with respect from now on. Understood?"He asked, very firmly.

Myelin sighed, "Aw Van, you take the fun out of everything."Myelin said but nodded. "Understood." She said and then watched him. Van stood up and then looked at her, "I'm going to go show Hitomi around. I'll be back soon."He said and then walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. He shook his head and then continued on walking.

"One day, Van, you are going to be mine. I'll make you love me."Myelin whispered and let a small, bit quiet evil smirk spread across her lips.

Hitomi watched the trees sway in the wind and sighed softly. "Maybe I should tell Van how I feel about him, before he goes off and marries, that, that cow of women."She muttered and then rolled her eyes. She knew she was being immature, but, right now, she didn't really care. All she cared about was getting Van away from the women. She crossed her arms over her stomach and sighed again.

Van smiled as he saw her standing out there in the field. He slowly began to walk over to her and then once he was directly behind her, he put something around her neck.

Hitomi quickly turned around as she felt Van behind her. She looked down at the necklace he put around her neck. It was her pendent. She looked up and smiled. "I guess I need this back now that I'm back here."She said and sighed softly. "It's feels so good to be back, Van, I missed you so much."She said. She could feel her face turn a shade of pink and she quickly looked down, feeling a bit stupid for blushing.

Van couldn't help but smile again. He looked at her, "I've missed you too Hitomi. And I am glad you are back."He said and then he sighed. "Tomi, I'm sorry about Myelin. Sorry that she happens to be so rude to you."He muttered and then shook his head, and then ran a gloved hand through his jet black hair.

Hitomi looked at him and then shook her head and shrugged. "It's alright."She said and then gave him a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine. If it's a fight she wants, it's a fight she'll get."Hitomi said with a small laugh and then looked around. Why did it feel so, so, awkward talking to him? She didn't understand why. She looked at him, and watched him for a moment. He looked so grown up. Not like a teenager, but, grown up. She smiled softly. They both had grown up a lot. It made her sad, because maybe that meant the feelings they once had for each other had disappeared as the grew up. She tried not to think about that. She prayed that he still felt for her the way that she felt for him. She looked at him, and then took a deep breath. "Van.. I-"She was cut off when she heard someone yell, "LORD VAN!"

Merle soon came running over to him and hugged him. "Lord Van, I've been looking for you everywhere!"She said and kissed(licked) him on the cheek. She then turned around and saw Hitomi. "HITOMI!"She yelled and threw her arms around her, and knocked her to the ground.

Van watched the two and he smiled. It was nice all of them being together again. But the only thing that was in the way, ruining things just happened to be, Myelin.

Hitomi smiled. "Merle. It's good to see you."She said and she started to stand up. Wow. Had Merle changed. She looked like a young lady, not a little girl. She had now the figure of a women. I guess after 4 years, that will do it to you. She had grown taller. Her hair longer, it went down to the middle of her back, but, she wore the same ratty outfit. Hitomi smiled again, she sure had grown into a beautiful young women. "I've missed you, cat napper."She said with a small grin.

Merle smiled and then nodded, "I've missed you too! It's so great seeing you. I hope this time you'll stay. Because last time you left, Van was so sad. He could barely live without you."She said and looked at Van, whom was blushing.

"Merle.."Van muttered and then looked down.

Hitomi laughed and smiled. He looked so cute when he was blushing. Aw.
