The Trail

Chapter 7

"Lankanotvitch; will be in charge of your training." the man says to her.

"Why not just tell me your name. I don't care about the program." I spat back at him.

"Well my name is Xavier, Dr. X. Xavier. I'm in charge of your transportation and health care."

"So you can drop me off at the shopping center? I have plans for today." She's says.

*Sighs* "I'm sorry but no; it will take some time to arrive at your new home."

I look at him. He was crazy there was no way I was going to stay. "I have somewhere to stay; and I don't want anything to do with this place or program or you!"

"Your parents ha-"

"Parents; huh, parents the man isn't my father and my so called mother; I don't even know her anymore" The man sighs again.

"Very well; why didn't you tell me from the start? Let's see how about the when the fighting start."

"When she got remarried; why do you care?"

"Because I need to understand your mental state"

"Ask the hospital" I fires back

"I did however to have an accurate assessment; I need to run my own test." The Doc says

"Great." Everything changed at that moment; my eyes felt heavy and the people and place around seemed to have become frozen in place.

It started to fade away and my eyes opened to see a room I didn't recognize. Oh right I'm in Van's room; it must have been a dream but why would I dream about the first ride to base? I felt Van shift a little in his sleep so I shifted as well and closed my eyes. I'm content enough with this. I don't want to ever leave again.

I let sleep take over me once again.

Bang bang bang "I'm coming" I head towards the door and opened it; there stood two police officers.

"Can I help you?"

"We're looking for Mrs. Kanzaki."

"My mother is sleeping right know. Could I be of assistance?"

"May we come in?"

"Oh; um of course." I lead the two police officers into the living room. "Would you like some tea?" I hear movement coming from the hall; not to long after a voice followed reaching us in the living room.

"Hitomi do we have guest?"

"Yes mom; why don't you come into the living room." My mother walked into the living room with a smile on her face.

"Hello officers. How can we be of help?"

"Mrs. Kanzaki; please have a seat. " My mother sat down on the couch to the left of the one the officers were on; I sat down beside her. "We're sorry; truly we are. This morning on highway 16 there was an accident; two were killed. Unfortunately it was your husband and a young boy."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing...my brother and father were...dead. I could feel the tears beginning to form in my eyes as the information sank in. I didn't fully understand but the questions I wanted to ask wouldn't come out. I felt an arm go around my shoulders pulling me into a hug.

"It's alright hun, everything will be okay."

"Please tell me it is a lie; please. It's been two months, two m-" the tears started coming down harder than before.

"I know, I know. I wish it was a lie; I wish it was." I cried for what seemed like hours; however that was the last time my mother was around she changed.

Days pasted as I planned the funeral; it was to be held two weeks from the crash. I stopped going to the track; and rarely saw my mother. It had been three day's since the crash when I got the invitation.

You're invited to

The Wedding of

Mrs. Kanzaki

Kazuo

On xx/xx/xxxx

When I read the date on the invite I was mad. I calling out to her to verify

"Mom!"

"What is it dear?" my mother answers.

"What is this?" After she couldn't give me a straight answer I remained silent; she then asked me to be one of her bridesmaids. I walked away and throw out the invitation.

"Hitomi?"

"I have plans that day. Not to mention we're practically broke." I added.

"No we aren't I made sure there was money left over."

"The funeral" I went to my room and grabbed a bag and throw some clothes in it. I called Yukari too let her know that she would be staying at her place; Yukari agreed and the two of us meet up outside the shopping district near our school.

Once at Yukari's house; I broke out into tears again. I just couldn't believe my mother; Mrs. Kanzaki called for quite some time but I never once answered her calls, I was still too upset. When the time came for the funeral; my mother was nowhere to be seen.

For three weeks I lived with Yukari; when I finally returned home my mother was with a strange guy. Amano and Yukari came as back up; this was the day the fighting started and I began to wish I could be back in Fanelia where I believed was my home.

"Hitomi? Hitomi? You okay?" my eyes fluttered open and I saw Van with a rather worried expression on his face. My hand went up to his face and I smiled.

"I'm fine Van." I sat up and kissed him. The feeling of butterflies captivated my body, Van pulled away and replayed

"Good I don't like seeing you upset." He pulled me back into his arms.
