A/N: Ok I lied. It took me longer to write chapter 6 then I thought. I'm really sorry for taking so long!

Chapter 6 Dreaming of you

It's been a week since Hitomis parents had stripped her bare of her happiness. She was going to her old school again but none of it mattered to her. Nothing mattered because she wasn't with Van. She barely got any sleep at all and when she did, her mind plagued her with thoughts of Van and what he must be doing right now.

It was Friday. One whole week since she'd been taken from her new home. Her parents were having a BBQ with their old friends tomorrow to celebrate being back home but Hitomi didn't have anything to celebrate. Sitting in her room she stares dully at the pictures of Van that she had hung up on her walls. They were her only happiness left. Seeing his face even if was drawn on a piece of paper made her feel warm inside.

Feeling like sleep was the only answer to her sadness, she crawls into bed and tries to sleep away her depression forever. After about an hour of tossing and turning, Hitomi finally drops into a fitful sleep and is instantly surrounded by people. Her glowing self glides through the throng of people recognizing them as her parents' friends. She looks around and sees that she was in her parents' backyard and that this was the BBQ planned for tomorrow. Why the hell was she dreaming about this!? She notices she was carrying her sport duffle bag and wondered what it was for when screaming is heard.

Everyone was looking at the sky and she turns to see what everyone was afraid about but she could only see a black splotch because of the suns glares. It made her vision spotted and she couldn't see what was happening. Rough hands push her down and her dads voice yells, "Stay away from her demon!" What demon was he talking about?

BRRRRIIINNNG. Hitomi jerks awake as her alarm goes off signaling it was time to get up for school. Wait a minute. It was Saturday! Dammit. She forgot to turn the alarm off for the weekend. Hitomi groans and falls back into her bed trying to remember the dream she had. It had seemed almost real but she just couldn't get herself to remember.

Sighing she turns on her side not wanting to get up. Her parents' dinner would start at 3 pm and Hitomi didn't want to go help with the preparations. It was her parents' stupid dinner. Not hers. Lying in bed a while longer she sighs again and thinks about Van.

Meanwhile, a week earlier, Van comes into art class to see that Hitomis seat was empty. That was odd. He thinks as he sits. She was never late. He waits impatiently for her to come but when the bell rings and she still doesn't come he gets worried and stands to leave class. Ignoring the teachers' protests he stalks out the door and heads for Hitomis house. Something didn't seem right and he had a sickening feeling in his stomach.

Upon reaching her house his worst fears become reality. The house was bare and a For Sale sign was pinned up out front on a post. 'No! How could this happen?' He thinks as he sits down on the front lawn to think things through. He probably sat there all day before a faraway voice pieces through his mind. 'VAN! Van help me!' It screamed and he stood up instantly looking around. It had been Hitomis voice and she was in danger but he couldn't see her.

He searches the area until night falls and he comes up empty handed and totally confused. He had heard her voice but she is nowhere to be found. He scratches his head and stops. His head. Did the voice come from inside his head? He scoffs at the nonsense in that thought and decides to sleep on it and then in the morning he would keep searching for her.

When morning came and he still couldn't find her, by the end of the day he was willing to believe her voice had sounded in his head. It was late Saturday night when he came to the conclusion that her parents must've moved away with her but why would she let them take her? Hadn't she said she'd never leave him? Maybe she had changed her mind about him after all. Maybe she couldn't take being punished because of him. He could understand but it still hurt.

That must've been what it was. He tries to hide the hurt that that thought caused him and he instead sought out his brother and spared with him all night to forget about Hitomi.

By Wednesday however Hitomi still hadn't left Vans mind and he was too tired to spar with Folken anymore. The taunts at school had little if any effect on him but he was constantly singled out by large groups of guys and beaten the shit out of. Without Hitomi, he just didn't care anymore and let them have their way. What was the point in fighting anyways? He asked himself every time they would approach him.

Deciding that something worst must've happened to Hitomi to make her move away from him. He wanted to believe that she had gotten ambushed and they forced her to move but his self esteem had dropped levels these last couple of days and he told himself that she realized how stupid she had been to fall in love with a demon slash angel being.

Wednesday night found Van mopping in the small living room. Folken walks in and sighs as he sees his brother acting so childish. "Van, you either have to get over this girl or you must go after her." Folken states. Van looks up at his brother with a lost look on his face. "She probably doesn't want me to go after her. She probably left on her own free will." Van says sadly. Folken growls and walks over to Van and punches him in the arm. "Why are you being so stupid? Can't you see that if she didn't like you she would've stopped hanging out with you long before this happened?" Folken yells at his younger brother as realization dawns on him.

"You love her don't you." Folken says simply. It wasn't a question, more like stating a simple fact. Van looks up sharply and stands finally knowing what to do. What Folken had said made sense. "Yes." Van says with determination in his eyes. The scar over his left eye having just healed enough for him to finally see with both eyes again. "Then go to her you dumbass." Folken says before leaving the room.

'Yes…I do love her. I've always loved her from the first day I saw her with her vampire shirt on.' Van thinks as he rushes out the door and stands outside suddenly not knowing where to go. He thinks through all the conversations he had had with Hitomi when they first got together and he centers on one in particular.

She was telling him about her old town named Shasta and how she hadn't had any friends where she lived. She had explained how her house had been really big, like a mansion, and how it had stood out from the rest because it was red with a pointed green roof. He also recalled her saying that the drive here was boring because they just stayed on the same road the whole way.

That was all the information he needed as he takes his jacket and shirt off and wills his two angelic wings to appear. They burst from his back and his lunges into the air flying full speed towards the Dask mountains following the winding road towards his destination. Hitomi.

"Hitomi! Get down here now and help bring the food out on the tables for our guests! They will be arriving soon!" Her moms screeches pierce through Hitomis dreams as she sits up quickly realizing she had actually fallen back to sleep. 'Dammit I don't want to help her out!' Hitomis mind screams. Hitomi grumbles as she dresses in a pair of tight blue shorts and a matching blue tank top. It was a lot warmer in Shasta then Lico but she missed the cool, crisp air of the mountains.

After getting dressed she notices her sports duffel bag was still out from her unpacking. An idea suddenly struck her. She would run away. While her parents were distracted with their stupid BBQ, she would sneak out and take a bus to the other side of town where they wouldn't find her, and then she'd find some way back to Lico. Jittery with renewed excitement, Hitomi rapidly pulls shirts and pants off their hangers and flings them into the duffel bag.

Adding shoes and under garments she was just able to fit her sketch pad and all the drawings of Van into the now bulging bag. She smiles triumphantly down at her bag and hides it in the closet until the right moment comes when she'll make her escape.

Heading down the stairs to the kitchen, Hitomi smiles for the first time in a week. A couple hours later the BBQ was in full swing and Hitomi was fidgeting violently. She wanted to leave but something told her to stay awhile longer. She had been thinking of coming out here before she left to tell her parents that she just couldn't stay with them any long and that she was leaving. After all, she was almost 18 now and she would soon be an adult.

Nodding her head she went inside and ran up the stair to her now bare room. Grabbing her duffel bag just instinctively feels behind her head for the white feather and its presence calms her. Heading down stairs she walks outside and heads towards her parents. As she walks someone screams and she looks to see people shielding their eyes and pointing up at something in the sky.

Turning around she blinks trying to see what it was when suddenly someone pushes her to the ground and her father yells, "Stay away from her you demon." The words echo in Hitomis mind as those same words come back to her from the dream she had last night. It was coming true! Hitomi struggles to her feet as looks up to see Van flying down towards her. His eyes were focused on her alone and she felt her heart leap at the site of him flying so gracefully through the air.

"Stay away from him Hitomi!" She could hear her father yelling but she ignored him. Her eyes were locked on two deep red orbs and she kneels to pick up the duffel bag that she now knew the real reason why she had packed it. A rough hand grabs her shoulder and she breaks its hold on hers as she starts sprinting across the yard. Her parents were screaming behind her to stop but she didn't listen.

Van comes nearer and Hitomi slings the duffle around her shoulder and runs into Vans strong arms as he skims the bottom low enough for her grasp hold of his muscular body and then with one great flap of his wings he rises into the air and leaves Hitomis home behind forever.

Hitomi stops writing and sighs happily as she closes her book that she had just finished writing. She looks at the cover and smiles. It was called The Two-Faced Beings.

A/N: Well what do you guys think? Sorry it's so short. Did the ending make sense? I got the idea from The Outsiders. That's a good book by the way. Do you want me to do a sequel? I think I might. I really like this story but I wanted to end it that way. Review and tell me if I should post a sequel. I'll probably write one anyways but I'll post it if I know people are still interested enough to keep reading! Thanks and review!
