Chapter Four

The Confrontation

Van and Allen knocked then entered Hitomi's room.

"Van, Allen what's wrong?" Hitomi said as the two men walked in the room.

"Hitomi where is Merle?" Van asked.

"She went down stairs to raid the kitchen seeing that it's late and the cooks are probably gone why?" Hitomi asked kind of puzzled.

"I want you to do something. Allen told me something happened the other night and I want you to." Van paused at his words and looked at Allen.

"You want me to go into his mind don't you?" She said getting the two to stare at her.

"Van I have only done that with you I don't even remember how to do it." She said turning away from both of them.

"Hitomi do you remember anything from the other night do you remember me kissing you?" Hitomi froze at his words and that sick feeling she felt the yesterday had returned.

"It wasn't a dream then?" She said softly.

"So you remember then?" Van said to her.

"Everything was a fog and it was like…" She stalled.

"It was like you were watching and you could do nothing to stop it." Allen said then she turned to the two of them.

"That's right. Allen it happened to you to didn't it?" She said to the two men standing in her room.

"Something or some one is playing with are minds but who would do it?" Hitomi said.

"Hitomi you're the only one that can try and figure this out." Van said to her.

"Van I know but I'm afraid of what might happen if I do." Hitomi said hanging her head.

"Hitomi I know you're scared but we need to fight this and you're the only one that knows how." Allen said grabbing his head screaming in pain. Van caught him before he hit his knees. This was all Hitomi needed to see who ever this was, was torturing Allen but why, why were they doing this to them both. She knew how to suppress what was happening to her but Allen had no clue on how to do so he had hid himself away for two day's because of what he's done and he thought he was loosing his mind. Van looked at Hitomi pleading with her Allen had become like his best friend and Allen was her friend as well she couldn't leave him like this.

She walked over to them both and knelt down she put her hand on Allen's head calming him immediately she closed her eyes van knew what she was doing for she had gone into his mind and pulled him back before he also just remembered that she almost didn't make it back.

Inside Allen's mind Hitomi walked down a long path till she came across a dark figure with no face it was being hid from her by a hood of some kind.

"I know you you're the figure I saw in my vision who are you and why are you doing this to us?" Hitomi demanded.

"Do not demand things from me girl from the mystic moon!" The figure said to her.

"You see you can not be Van's wife I will not allow it by your death or another way it will not happen." He said to her.

"So you thought that if Allen and I got together Van would get upset and dismiss us both well you are mistaken." Hitomi yelled at the man.

"I can not let you and Van be together and produce and heir." The man said.

"What is your problem?" Hitomi yelled at him. "What do you want from us?"

"I can see that I can not fool you Hitomi. What I really want is obvious I want you and I will have you any way I can even if I end up using some one else." He finally said.

"It is a prophecy that a girl form the earth would come to Gaea and that girl would come three time with in ten years time that girl would end up being that last draconian with royal blood and that my dear is you yes you gave up the soul of that draconian blood but you still are." The man said to her.

"Get out of Allen's mind." Hitomi shouted.

"And what if I don't I kid of like it here" He challenged her. This made her mad she started to glow in Allen's mind and out as well which worried Van.

"What is this I didn't know she had such power." The man sated then backed away from her. Hitomi then some how released a white light from with in her body blinding the man while she was at it she put up walls in case he tried to come back into Allen's mind again when the light was gone so was the man in black and Allen's mind was clear now she then opened her eyes and was back in her room Van wondering what happened in there.

Van took Allen to his room to rest he was exhausted.

"Is he going to be alright Hitomi?" Van asked her.

"He'll be fine now who ever was attacking Allen won't be back I made sure of that."

She said walking out of Allen's room and into her own almost mad.

"So Hitomi what did you find out in there?" Van asked her walking in to her room.

"Well I didn't find out who he was but he knew a lot about me and he knew that you were draconian as well as me he also told me that I was the last remaining draconian with royal blood and that I was to be his wife not yours he also said that he would have me even if he had to use some one else in order to get me." She said this with anger in her voice and she drew he hands into fists. "How dare he hurt one of my friends to get to me like this!" Van had never seen her this mad before and it worried him she had the look of revenge in her eyes that he thought he would never see.

"I'm sorry Van it's just that I'm tired of people getting hurt because of me." She said hanging her head in defeat.

Van put his arms around her and embraced her as she let the tears steam into his shirt she had cried herself to sleep in his arms he lifted her up and he placed her into her bed he pulled the covers up then left for his room by the conjoined doors.

The remainder of the week flew by with no more episodes and in no time it was time for the wedding every one had been waiting for the guest had all arrived and the ceremony was about to commence.

Hitomi walked down the isle Van waiting for her at the alter they finally said I do kissed and yes the wedding went off with out a hitch which was surprising seeing as Van had more guard posted and on patrol they had expected some to go wrong or some one to show up.

At the reception every one was dancing except the bride and groom who had gone to there room while no one was looking …..

A few days went bye and no sign that any one was going to come between Hitomi and Van. A month had gone bye still no sign of the man who said Hitomi would be his.

Hitomi was in her room waiting for Van when she heard a noise on the balcony she went to see what it was when she walked out some one grabbed her then took her some place where she didn't know she was then injected with a needle things went black then she woke up there was a man there he had a black hood on.

"There it's done I told you that you would be mine one way or another didn't I." He said with a laugh then left the room where she was Hitomi then stood up not feeling so well she staggered up and walked out of the room herself she realized that she was in the castle; Allen came along and saw her.

"Hitomi!" He yelled and went to her side. What happened?" He questioned her.

Tears came streaming down her face and she sobbed Allen knew something bad had happened to her.

"Allen it was him he, he..." Hitomi stopped Allen picked her up and ran to Van and Hitomi's room. The door flung open Van was sitting there waiting for Hitomi he thought she just stepped out for some air he saw her in Allen's arms and he ran to them both.

"Allen what happened?" Van asked.

"That man was here Van!" The rage in Allen's Eyes said it all Van took Hitomi and put he one the bed the anger also building up with in him.

Allen then was headed out the door and was gone before Van could say anything.

Allen ran through the halls of the castle looking for that man that was in his head he then out of the corner of his eye spotted a figure in black it was him the man who invaded his mind and possessed him making him try and take advantage of Hitomi like that Allen would make him pay. Allen then caught the man by the back of the hood as he was sneaking around the castle Allen through him against the wall and held him against the wall bye the shirt front.

"You will pay you bastured! How dare you assault a lady in that manner!" Allen yelled at the man. All the man did was laugh at him. The man disappeared from his clothing as if he wasn't even there. Van came running around the corner sword drawn.

"Allen where is he?" Van asked as he saw Allen holding a piece of clothing.

"He was never here Van he used a puppet." Allen said angry throwing the garment to the ground. This meant that this guy was still out there some where.

"Van you left Hitomi alone?" Allen said to the king.

"Millerna is with her right now I asked her to look at her." Van said as he and Allen walked back to Hitomi's room not wanting to hear what Millerna was going to say to them.
