Chapter Two

Will You Marry ME And The Red Vision

Hitomi just stood there not knowing what to say she loved Van she gave up apart of herself in order for him to live but why did she have these feelings for Allen suddenly.

Could it be that she still might love him as well? All these thoughts steamed through out her mind as she stood there in front of Allen.

"Hitomi let me take you back to your room and forget that this happened alright." Allen suggested to her and she shook he head in agreement. When they came to her room Van was there waiting for her.

"Van what are you doing here?" Hitomi asked him.

"Well I got done for the night and thought I would come bye and say good night." Van stated to her.

"Oh well thanks Van would you like to come in for a few minutes." She said to him hoping he would decline watching him stare Allen down.

"Well I have my rounds to make so I will take my leave from you Hitomi." Allen said walking away hoping he wouldn't get the truth out of her.

Hitomi opened her door then the two walked in the room.

"So why were you with Allen just now?" Van questioned her.

"Van he's my friend you were busy so he and I talked for a while in the gardens catching up with one another that's all Van." Hitomi said as she took off her shoes.

"Sorry Hitomi I should have known. It's just that you have a history with him." Van started and walked over to her putting his arms around her kissing the back of her neck.

"Van there is something I want to talk to you about." She said to him as her brought her around to face him they sat on the bed together.

"Well what is it Hitomi you know you can tell me anything." Van looked at her with a questioning look.

"Van before I came back here I was with another man he was the one that sent me here to help you his name is John I know he loved I was about ready to move on with him till he told me to come he was going to ask me to marry him I don't know if I would have excepted it fully because I was still in love with you." Hitomi stopped and looked out the window ready for him to explode but it didn't come.

"You know Hitomi that's why he sent you back here instead of asking you to marry him he knew that your whole heart couldn't love him he knew it was with some one else." Van said taking her hand she was shocked what happened to that hot tempered boy that she left ten years ago it was now obvious that he had grown up a lot.

"Hitomi would you do me the honor of becoming my queen?" Van asked her and awaited her answer.

"Van you know that I love you right? Well I do want to marry you but…." She stopped right there and thought to her self she had waited ten years to come back to him she so wanted him to ask her so why was she going to say no. "Van yes I will marry you." She then said with a smile he kissed her lips the kiss then turning into a more passionate kiss Van laying Hitomi down on to the bed. Van ended up spending the night that night.

Then next morning when Van opened his eyes he saw Hitomi lying next to him he then sat up looking at her and the events of last night. ("Why was she going to say no?") He thought to him self, he then got up going into her bath room meanwhile Hitomi opened her eyes to the sunlight illuminating into her room she looked to see that Van wasn't there.

"Was it a dream? I thought Van spent the night and we…" She got up putting on her robe and walked out onto the balcony. "Van asked me to marry him right or did I just dream that to?" She said with a sigh looking out into the gardens below.

Van came out of the bath room to find Hitomi not in the bed he saw the curtains blowing in the wind and went out side where he saw her standing he looked gorgeous with the sun light hitting her. He walked up behind her and slowly put his arms around her holding her close.

"Good morning my future queen did you sleep well." He said softly in her ear bringing a smile to her face as she closed her eyes.

"So it wasn't a dream was it?" She said turning to face him then kissing his lips.

Then it was time for Van to break the moment. "I'm sorry Hitomi nut I have to go now I have an important meeting with my counsel this morning." Van said to her calmly walking away and out the door. When he shut the door behind him there was Allen taking with Merle she had been looking for Van all morning.

"Lord Van! There you are what are you doing coming out of Hitomi's room?" Merle asked him while Allen had an idea.

Later that day Hitomi decided to take a long hot bath. She got into the tub and just when she was getting to a state of relaxation she was pulled down under the water. She held her breath then she saw blood all around her in the tub. What was going on was this a vision she thought to herself she struggled to get back to the surface just as she was about to reach the surface an image appeared to her the blood was flowing from it's body but she was unable to see who it was. She then got to the surface hoping that the blood would be gone when she saw that is was still there she screamed then she stood up as she stood up she felt herself passing out. Then the door flew open it was Allen.

"Hitomi are you alright! I heard you scream!" Allen said coming through the door he saw her standing there in the tub he saw her going down and rushed to her grabbing a towel to catch her in. he looked and all he saw around her was blood or what seemed to be blood, he checked her for wounds as best as he could.

"Hitomi are you alright are you hurt?" Allen tried to ask her while she was lying in his arms he then wrapped the towel around her more then picked her up and started to carry her out of the bath room when Van and Merle came running in the room.

"What happened Allen I heard Hitomi scream?!" Van said seeing Hitomi in Allen's arms then looking at the tub seeing the blood.

"Allen what happen? Is she alright?" Van asked with concern.

"I think she's fine from what I could tell." Allen replied to his question. "Van I don't think she should stay here any more." Allen said walking out of the bath room and into Hitomi's room laying her on the bed.

Van then ordered the bath room cleaned and Hitomi to be moved closer to him so he could keep a watch over her. Later in Van's room that connected to Hitomi's Allen, Van and Merle were discussing what had happened in Hitomi's bathing room.

"Could what had happened been a vision?" Van asked out loud wanting Allen's opinion.

"I don't understand it my self Van but I don't think it was one of her visions we have never been able to see them before." Allen said and Van was in agreement about that.

"But what if her giving up her Draconian soul to Lord Van affected her to now when she has visions they become almost real?" Merle thought out loud.

"Merle what are you talking about what do you mean she gave me her draconian soul?"

Van asked almost mad that this was kept from him.

"I thought you knew that's how you got better." Merle said to him then Van looked to Allen.

"Merle could you please leave I want to talk with Allen alone." Van said to her, he watched her leave the room then looked at Allen once more.

"How could you keep something like that form me Allen? You're supposed to be my friend." Van yelled at him.

"I was sure she would tell you Van." He said in his defense. "This explains a lot you know Van her connection to Gaea to Atlantis to you even. I sis tell you about her wings remember Van that should have told you that she was draconian like you." Allen also said in his defense.

Van thought about it for a minute. Allen was right he did mention her wings to him but he didn't out two and two together.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you Allen, could Merle be right about her Allen are her visions unstable now to where they more real to her?" Van said to him.

"It could be a possibility Van I hope were wrong though." He said to his worried friend.

"Allen it's getting late we should turn in and get some sleep." Van said to the knight.

"Perhaps your right Van I'll see you in the morning." He said as he started for the door.

"Oh Allen I want you to know I asked Hitomi to marry me and she said yes." Van said stopping Allen in his tracks as he was about to leave.

"Congratulations are in order then. But I'm sure it wasn't a straight forward yes was it Van? Good nigh your highness." Allen said then walked out the door.

"What was that about and how did he know?" Van said as he walked to his bed quite exhausted he lay down in his bed and was out like a light.
