Wish Six

The air in her apartment felt, heavy. It had been almost three months since she'd come to university and already she felt like she was drowning. Hitomi was smart that was a fact, going over notes from classes and acing tests with apparent ease. But it was like her consciousness was filling with water slowly and she couldn't do anything to stop the drenching pour.

Looking up from the monstrous pile of papers and books that surrounded her on the bed she didn't know what she was going to doing. Up until now there was an endless gallant parade through the steps of schooling something she'd strived to finish all the while thinking of her future. What was her future, what was it she wanted to do in the first place?

The swift feeling of confusion swept over her as she began to let her mind wander and drift back in time. Stepping away from her small prison of assignments she threw open the window allowing a breeze to sweep in. That smell. Fields, fresh cut clover, Van. His name entered her consciousness immediately tears began to form. Van, her Van. A lazy idea fluttered into her head, one that seemed to have a sense of urgency at the same time. Glancing over at a clock on the night stand, class started soon. She had time.

Sitting at the cluttered surface of her desk, with one sweeping motion of her arm she cleared the surface and yanked open the side drawer pausing for a moment. Green eyes studied the deck apathetically at first then more seriously. The blue and gold symbol on the back reminded her, you shouldn't tempt fate. Her hands snatched them up quickly before she could change her mind laying them all out in Celtic fashion face down.

Her hand automatically went to place turning the card over, Serpent. Tears welled in her eyes. Van. Quickly turning over all the other cards she began to read her fortune. A great journey, wishes fulfilled but a warning a hasty decision, greed, thoughtless behavior, the individual acts of an impulsive fashion.

She felt her chest tighten suddenly was she going to go back? Could she? For real this time, not just a dream that always ended with that sinking feeling of abandonment? What if it was wrong? Is that what it all means? Biting her bottom lip she looked back to her bed, the looming amounts of papers and books, her eyes focused on the last card, future outcome, Lovers.

---------

Hitomi found it strange in some way. How one dream and one reading changed her mind so quickly. It was an immediate decision. She'd packed her two boxes of belongings and bag of cloths, made an international phone call then dropped a paper off at the school, a resignation form.

She stood in the air port waiting through the huge line of people while they brushed past her in the cramped airport. There was something different this time. A light flutter in her chest while she concentrated hard, so hard she thought she'd burst right on the spot. There was a brush of another consciousness somewhere and her green eyes snapped open seeing a feather fall beside her ever so slowly. " I will make it back this time." She whispered under her breath. " I swear it."

If you read this.

Review it please.

Hello Kittens,

This was just sooo short!! Ugh, I was having troubles with writing it out actually; I just want to get to the really good parts ASAP. Yes this is the end for Wish, but not to worry it will continue.

I'm not sure if I should do a split off from this or not about Van. I was thinking about it and if I do that'll be three different stories for this series. Van's would be longer chapters and a shorter story of the time they've spent apart.

I don't want to give anything away.

I feel so cramped writing about Hitomi's life while she's on Earth. For some reason parts of this have turned out a bit darker then I thought they would too, it scares me. But yes I will have the sequil to this up eventually lol

I hate to put a time on things because of schooling but things are cooling down and I have a month break between semesters :D

Thank you all so much for reading!!!
