Chapter Seven

The Connection Revealed

The next day John was walking down the hall thinking to himself on what he was going to do about telling Allen his connection in all this then he thought to himself how he would find and defeat this monster of a man that has been torching Hitomi and Allen for nights on end he wasn't looking to where he was going walked around a corn and smacked right into Van.

"Van I'm so sorry I wasn't looking where I was going please excuse me." John said to the king.

"Well John it's alright. John is there something wrong?" Van asked.

John looked away from him then was this his moment to come clean he thought.

"Van, can I speak with you? There is something that I need to tell you." He said unsure of how he would tell him. Knowing that Van didn't trust him completely as it was.

"Sure what is it John." Van said. "We can go into my study if you'd like."

They walked into Van's study.

"So what is it John?" Van questioned.

"You might not like what I have to say but I have to tell you." John stopped his words for a moment.

"John if this as to do with Hitomi's dreams she told me already and Allen informed me that it's you that has been protecting Hitomi in her dreams. Hitomi even knows his name now it's Mullo." Van told John

"Van that is part of what I have to say but the other part you might not like." John stopped and swallowed hard.

"Okay Van you were right about me and your right not to completely trust me I don't even trust myself. This man Mullo I want to finally tell you the truth about him I want to tell you my connection to him." John stopped once more. "Van Mullo is a full Draconian he was once a might lord who ruled over a part of Atlantis when the city was destroyed he fled her to Gaea taking his wife with him his human wife after settling down here to this world in which they created it wasn't long till his first son was born then when his son turned three his wife fled to earth taking his son with her because of his crazy ideas he was told that his son would one day destroy him so in return tried to kill him that son Van was me…" John finished then turned form Van.

"John…." Van said. "This monster is your father!" Van said as in sank in,

"He has planned all of this Van even down to causing your illness he knew that she would come to help you. Being liked to you and Hitomi through the mind I knew that you were ill and that Hitomi was the only one that could help you I sent her back here I had no idea what he had planned once she came back till it was to late he blocks my thoughts when he senses me getting to close." John said looking out Van's window.

"You have a pendant right then why didn't you use it to come here to help earlier?" Van asked feeling sorry for him in a way.

"The pendants don't work like that Van regardless of what you thing the pendants reacted to a persons feelings there desires and wishes. Do you honestly thing I gave a desire to destroy my own father I know I must me done but I don't want to do it. I used Hitomi's desire to be with you to return to this place I did have a desire to keep her safe at all cost that power is what made it easier to get here." John said to Van as he shifted turning around looking at Van face to face now.

Van walked over to him and put his hand on his shoulder.

"John I'm sorry I know how you feel believe me. Thank you for telling me all this I know it wasn't easy for you. From now on you have my complete trust." Van said to him and was bout to walk out the door when John spoke up yet again.

"Van wait I need to tell you about you role in all this." Van stopped dead in his tracks.

"My role what do you mean?" Van asked him.

"Before I do I need to ask you when the time comes will you help me kill my father?" John said with tears in his eyes along with determination.

"I will help you in any way I can now why does this involve me? I know Hitomi is one reason but the way you're talking." Van stopped.

"Yes you do play a big part in this Van but I never knew how I was going to tell you. My monster of a father is your mother's brother." John said to him looking Van in the eye once again.

"You mean we're cousins! I have family left…" Van trailed off thinking to himself.

"Van look at me and tell me we don't look similar the black hair even the eyes we're even built similar I think that's the only reason Hitomi went out with me at all I reminded her of you." John finished talking then Van looked at him he was right they did look similar why didn't he notice it before he thought.

Later that day Van was out side in the gardens with Hitomi he was talking to her about the conversation that he had with John Hitomi was shocked.

"Where is John now Van?" Hitomi asked worried about him.

"He's in his room he wanted to be alone for a while." Van said putting his head down on Hitomi's lap leaning against her stomach he closed his eyes he gave a sigh.

"Why can't we ever get a break Hitomi and be happy with out anything to worry about?"

Van said then he heard something it was faint against his ear. He got up and looked at Hitomi.

"Van what is it what's wrong?" she asked."

"What was that Hitomi?" He said worried.

"What was what Van?" She asked him looking at him strange.

"I heard something inside of you" van said the Hitomi laughed at him.

"Hey what's so funny?" He said with an upset face.

"Van you're silly all you heard was the baby." Se smiled at him then leaned over giving him a kiss.

"Really wow…?" Van said then lay back down in her lap closing his eyes in the warmness of the after noon.

("Oh Van I know one day hopefully all we will have to worry about is just being happy with our family were starting.")

Two months have past and Hitomi is starting to show with a little pug belly not too big.

Hitomi was walking around out side when she heard shouting going on it was in one of the training rooms it was Allen and John they were sword fighting she could see the rage in there eyes as they shouted back an forth clashing swords.

"Stop it right now your two!" She yelled at them. But they kept on going Van was told about the fight and headed to the training grounds as fast as he could.

"What could they possibly be fighting about?" Van said to himself as he ran as fast as he could. "If I don't hurry they might kill each other."

Hitomi picked up a sword on the wall and as the two swords were about to clash Hitomi's sword interrupted them.

"I told you to stop!!" She yelled again at them. The two men were still enraged at one another the two with drew then came back again Hitomi then graciously with her sword disarmed both men, but that did not stop them they continued to duke it out.

Hitomi then decided to try and break it up. She grabbed a hold of Allen and asked him to stop he didn't realize who it was it was then Van came in the room.

"Allen, John!!! Stop this at once!!" he saw Hitomi trying to break it up and then It happened John punched Allen sending both him and Hitomi smack into the wall.

"Hitomi!!!" Van yelled running over to her she had taken the brunt of it all.

"Hitomi are you all right?" Van asked her she opened he eyes she looked rather mad.

"Yes Van I'm fine." She said as she got up with Van's help. "Van wait right here for me please I want to say something to John alright see if Allen's alright." She said then Van bent down to see to Allen, Allen opened his eyes the two watched Hitomi as she limped over to where John was standing.

"She looks pretty mad doesn't she?" Allen said to Van.

"Hitomi I'm so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you." John said to her.

"What the hell is your problem?!!" Hitomi yelled at him then it came she punched him in the jaw leaving John screaming in pain and on the floor.

"There how does it feel!!? No to good huh!! Maybe next time you'll think twice before picking a fight." She turned then started to walk away then she felt weak for some reason some one was in her mind.

"Van!" John yelled to him. "Its him he's in her mind!" John caught her as Hitomi went down. Allen and Van both came running.

Once they got Hitomi to her room Millerna took a look at her.

In the hall John and Allen stood in silence.

"You know Allen I'm sorry I don't even remember what started the fight. You know he controls me to sometimes." John said to him.

Allen looked at him with surprise on his face.

"You know he's my father don't you? Even though I'm strong enough in the mind to ward him off sometimes he can over ride me if I'm not constantly on my guard."

John said with real sorrow in his voice.

"So he's in Hitomi's mind right now?" Allen asked.

"Yes and I don't know what he's doing I can't get in I've tried. He fed off of the anger Hitomi had toward at that time to get in then seal me out." John said hanging his head.

"Well if you can't get in what about Van?" Allen asked giving John an idea.

"You're right Van could do it with my help.

They walked through the doors.

"Van we have an idea" Allen said to his friend.
