One Day, I'll Take You With Me

Mystic mizu

It was no different from any other days she had, every single day, she open her eyes, try to go on with her life but he never left her mind- he never left her heart. She knows that he can feel what she feels, she chuckled when she realized that leaving her pendant to him was not a good idea. She's not so good when it comes to controlling her emotions, though she became pretty good in hiding them.

But tonight is different. Tonight, she'll enjoy this wonderful evening by sitting on the roof gazing at the twinkling stars and the full moon. She sighed as she stared at the bright moon shining down on her. She looked at the sky intently, hoping that she might have a quick look at the world she knew- the world that changed her life. The night breeze gently blew her hair. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the peaceful night.

'An angel, descending upon the grounds of a sinful land, brought peace and love.'

She smiled. 'Van Slanzar de Fanel, King of Fanelia, brother of the great Folken Lacour de Fanel. Son of the late Goau and Varie Fanel. Yes, that's a good story, now where does the stranger comes in?'

"When the King was lost and lonely-" She opened her eyes when she heard the familiar voice. "-the kind, beautiful stranger saved him from the darkness that lingers within him, and changed his life forever." There he is, standing right in front of her. His beautiful white wings spread, illuminating brighter than the moon, and the pendant that she gave him, almost two years ago sparkling like one of the stars in the sky.

With one deep breath, his wings gently pulled back into him. He smiled at her, she smiled back. She wasn't expecting his visit, but kind of used to it. He always come back at the right moment.

"Now your're writing story about us?" He sat beside her and held her hand.

"It is a school project, a final paper. I'll need a good story to graduate." She interlaced her fingers with his. He lifted her hand and laid a kiss on it.

"Finally." He said.

"What do you mean?" She chuckled.

"It won't be long, by the time you finish your studies, I'll be able to return to Gaea with you." She looked deep into his eyes and saw sadness in them.

"What's wrong Van?" She looked at him, trying to catch his eyes. He closed them and sighed.

"I'm getting tired Hitomi." She felt her heart almost stopped when she heard those words.

"Of us?" she asked.

"No." He quickly answered. He took hold of her shoulders and gently caressed them dwon to his arm and up again. "I'm getting tired of waking up and not seeing you next to me. I know you feel the same way. I want to take you back with me, but I can't."

"I know I'm being unreasonable, and sounding stupid because of asking so much from you, but miss you, I really really miss you Hitomi." His tight grip on her shoulders grew weaker and weaker, and it hurts to see him like this. She thought that she's doing a pretty good job in hiding away her feelings, but not from him, and what's worse, it gave him more remorse than the greif she's feeling when he was gone.

"I see you in my dreams, everynight. And everytime I draw near to hold you, I wake up, it kills me." She said. She cupped his face and slowly turning his head to hers. "I think of you every second of the day and miss you so much that it hurts. I want to come with you, but I can't leave just yet. There's a lot of things that I need to settle, especially with my family." She slowly wrapped her arms around him and whispered in his ears "I love you, and nothing will take me away from you. By the time you take me back to Gaea, I will never leave your side."

There was a long silence between the two of them.

"Remember what you told me before I left Gaea?" His head laid down on her lap as they both gazed at the moon.

"That we will be able to see each other whenever we want to?" Her fingers slowly brushing his hair away from his face.

"Yes." She smiled at him. "We do see each other, right?"

"Yes, in our dreams." He said.

"And we're doing good right?" she asked.

He chuckled."we're doing great."

He pushed himself up and sat beside her.

"If I am dreaming, that you are finally beside me, I just want to make use of every moment." He into her eyes and leaned forward. He cupped her face and slowly laid her on the cold metal roof. But the cold doesn't bother her, his warm body agaist hers gives her more warmth than she needs in this world. She caressed his back, feeling every inch of his muscular torso. His kiss was passionate, intimate, and strong. They've waited so long to kiss like this again.

He missed this, his hands gently sliding on her neck up to her smooth hair. Her sweet scent that he longed to smell and his smooth skin he longed to touch. Nothing can spoil this moment for them. He laid gentle kisses on her neck and whispered "I am definitely not dreaming." She chuckled.

"We can do this any time we want." He laid his forhead on hers.

"Everynight" he said.

"everynight."
