Baden-Württemberg Airport - Germany- 06:34 AM - 11/05/2013

"I don't know why I agreed to this..." Mumbled Hitomi as she stared at Leifang, who was shamelessly flirting with a blond man. Although, that man kept staring at her and not Leifang.

A recap of what is happening. Leifang didn't want to stay in Germany for long, even if she shopped like an animal and flirted with a lot of cute guys, she thought that Baden-Württemberg was quite boring. So she had the brilliant idea, note sarcasm there, to travel to Tokyo.

"Japan?! Leifang, I can't! It's too far!" Hitomi yelled. Leifang scowled at her.

"Come on! I asked your parents and they said yes! They found someone to help your father, he's trusted, you know?" She said. It was Hitomi's turn to scowl, though Leifang noticed a small change. Her eyes weren't light blue anymore. They were slightly...crimson, which Leifang got scared of a bit.

"Why do you look so pale? Leifang, are you okay?" Hitomi asked, her eyes turning a darker shade, purple. Okay, the Chinese beauty was now freaked out.

"It's...nothing." She said. Hitomi, having her eyes now back into its normal colour, shrugged and gave her one last worried glance before she walked into the kitchenette.

"Hey! Don't think I forgot that Tokyo stuff! We are so going!" Leifang hollered, gaining back her attention.

"Agh! I thought you'd have forgotten!" Hitomi yelled back. Her Chinese friend laughed heartily and joined her into a cooking session.

Eventually, Leifang won the debate. And right now, they were at Baden-Württemberg Airport, waiting for the plane that would stop by China and would eventually come to Japan. Hitomi was holding on tightly to her bag, scared that someone would steal it. She held necessary things into it, such as her lucky red gloves, her clothes, shoes, soap, toothbrush and of course a picture of her and Hayate.

Her heart skipped a beat when she thought about it, and a smile made its way onto her delicate features. She could see him again! It was only an airport away.

She saw Leifang return to her with a deep frown. She almost laughed at the expression; the Chinese young woman looked like a little girl who didn't get the doll she wanted, and with Leifang, you could say that. She huffed when she saw Hitomi contain a grin.

"Why do you look so upset?" Hitomi asked, even if she knew already. Leifang yet let out another annoyed huff.

"He didn't even listen to me! He was always looking behind me and when I asked his number, guess what he asked me? He said,'hey, do you know that girl with the brown hair over there?' And pointed at you! I just told him I didn't know you and he just shrugged and left! It's unfair, how come you get all the cute guys? I mean..." Leifang continued to complain on how blind that guy was. Hitomi just smiled at her.

"Attention, please. All passengers for Air Tokyo must board immediately, I repeat, all passengers for Air Tokyo must board immediately." Said the voice in the microphone. Leifang squealed in delight and Hitomi just laughed at her excitement as her friend pulled her to the clerk. Once they checked in and Leifang almost tripped on her heels, they were finally in the plane. Leifang was gushing on how they might see old friends from the tournament. Hitomi just smiled softly at her and leaned back into her comfy seat. She felt her eyelids droop and she was soon lulled to sleep by the plane departure.

-Dream-

"Hitomi!" called a voice, both familar and unfamiliar. Hitomi spun around to meet a beautiful woman with brown hair similar to her, but her eyes were a white colour, just like her wings. Wings? Hitomi asked herself.

The woman smiled at her warmly and touched her cheek. Warmth spread from her cheek to the rest of her body. Hitomi allowed herself to smile back at her, her colourless eyes completely forgotten. The woman, who she assumed was an angel of some kind, let go of her cheek and started to float away.
"Wait..." Hitomi whispered loudly, then shouted,"wait!"

"We will see each other again, do not worry, child..." Her voice was fading in the sky. Hitomi started to run after her, but she kept fading, and fading...and fading...

-End Of Dream-
"Hitomi. Hitomi?" Leifang shook her gently from her slumber. Hitomi opened her eyes, only to be greeted with her friend's shriek.

"What? Lei, what is it?" She asked vehemently. Leifang pointed a shaking finger to her forehead.

"What is it? A pimple?" Hitomi tried to joke, but as soon as she saw Leifang's terrified look, she knew it was serious.

"Your eyes...They're not blue anymore!" She said and started to hyperventilate. Hitomi started to laugh. Of course! She knew it happened

.
"Oh! That? My eyes usually turn grey when I wake up! I knew it happened!" Hitomi said. Leifang didn't say anything, but did fish in her bag to find her compact. She opened it and Hitomi's eyes widened in horror.

Her eyes were completely colourless.

No blue. No light blue, not even grey but completely white! Her first thought was curiosity why were her eyes...? Then it was fear. Was this why Leifang looked so scared that other day?

"Leifang...I...what's going on?" Hitomi asked, her eyes brimming with tears. Leifang wrapped her arms around her.

"Can you see?" She asked.

"Yes, I'm not blind...Leifang do you believe all blind people do not have irises?" Hitomi asked curiously. The Tai Chi Quan Genius just shrugged.
"I'm just...how can your eyes have white irises?" She asked. Hitomi suddenly felt angry. That woman in her dreams must have been that presence! Even if a shiver of fear ran down her spine, she was furious. Her eyes were white because of that...angel!

"Oh my God, Hitomi! They turned red!" Leifang cried, horrified.

At that, Hitomi couldn't stop the tears that were leaking out of her eyes. Her eyes were now a deep shade of purple.

What am I? Who am I? What is going on?


Andra was watching Hitomi cry. She couldn't help but feel guilty, even if it wasn't her fault. 'That stupid curse-blessing thing is incredibly stupid! She's sensitive for Christ's sake!' She thought bitterly.

"Um, excuse me, ma'am?"

Andra tore her eyes away from the crying German girl and looked at the flight attendant in front of her.

"May I take care of your...um...sword?" The woman asked nervously. Andra blinked at her, while Bloody Lolita glowed red in protest. The Huntress caressed her like a cat and looked at the attendant.

"No." She answered flatly. With a nervous nod, the flight attendant left. 'Poor girl. She's probably bullied or something.' She thought, resting her eyes on the still weeping girl.

'Screw patience. I have to see her now!' She stood up, ready to reveal who she was, but stopped short when a violent shake made her stumble and fall hard on her seat.

By hearing the screams of the passengers, she knew exactly what was going on.

Demons.
