PART ONE:

HITOMI, GIRL DRAGONSLAYER: HITOMI BEGINS TO UNDERSTAND FATE ALTERATIONS

Dilandau woke up more depressed than ever. He turned and saw Tara asleep and then decided to get up. He took off his armor and shirt, only leaving him clad in black leather pants and a violet undershirt. As he laid his shirt down he retrieved something out of his breast pocket and then left the room. He wandered down the corridor lost in thought. He then found himself arriving at the balcony. He leaned on the banister and opened his hand to stare at the crush rose he had from two months earlier, when he had been mourning the death of one of his `Slayers…Bione.

"They were all stupid…weaklings, useless," he muttered as he twisted the stem of the rose. He then released the rose and felt tears stream down his check. "I'm alone" He was alone again…He hated being alone, he was always alone. His legs gave out and he collapsed on the deck. He knew Tara was still alive…but she did not make up for his other `Slayers…but she was all he had left. He felt a familiar memory surface again.

Hitomi waking up looked down to see what could have woken her up. She noticed her pendant was glowing, and felt herself being thrown into another vision.

<Memory>

Hitomi could see a little girl no more than eight, crying. She was in some kind of a prison and she was alone. She watched as the cried, and then stared calling out for Allen.

`Allen, Hitomi thought, oh my, this is his sister Celena.'

Hitomi watched as a door opened and a tall man came in. As he got closer to the little girl, Hitomi could see that it was a dog man. He was holding a plate of food and offering it to a little girl. He then tried to comfort her, telling her she was not alone anymore. He asked her his name and she tearfully replied, "Celena" he than said his name was Jajuka.

<Memory end>

As soon as it had happened…the vision stopped.

Hitomi shook her head…what was happening and why was she seeing this. Hitomi decided to go find Dilandau.

Since she had not changed from the night before, Hitomi hastily freshened up her appearance and left the room.

<In Folken's room>

"I had no idea," replied a stunned Folken.

"Well, now you know," said the robed man. "Where can I find the girl?"

"You're taking the girl…why?"

"That is the girl from the mystic moon, if you have not known by now, she is no longer needed and would only get in the way. She must go back to her original part for Dornkirk's higher purposes."

"Dilandau will not approve"

"Dilandau will have no choice…now, where can I find her"

"I do not know, she should be around here somewhere, she was not in battle just like you requested."

"Good, than searching should not take that long."

Folken studied the sorcerer before him. `So the Tara, is really Hitomi' he mused. `What purpose did she have hear, I wonder, It seems she was here for his benefit…not for Dornkirk's. I guess all will be revealed in time.'

Folken watched the man as he strode out. Trying to figure out a sorcerer was much to complicated.

<20 min later>

Hitomi was out of breath. She had finally found him. She searched room after room, only to locate him here, where she first met him…on a balcony. He seemed to be in the same curled up position a lot lately.

"Dilandau" she whispered.

Dilandau lifted up his head as Tara whispered his name. "Tara" he said his voice breaking.

Hitomi half ran to him. And wrapped her arms around him. She would never understand this man. One minute he would gladly love to kill everyone, and the next he was inconsolable. She closed her eyes and felt him slowly relaxing. But their tender moment was short lived.

When Hitomi opened her eyes she saw as soliders surrounding her. Dilandau seemed to sense her tension because when he saw their predicament he instantly attacked. Hitomi did not wait and begin immediately to help Dilandau. They both struggled, seemingly to win at first, but soldiers continued to pour in. Dilandau soon felt his arms being grabbed, as Hitomi was done in the same fashion. The soldiers started dragging them in to different directions. At that moment another memory struck Dilandau, and Hitomi saw it to.

<Memory>

Hitomi saw that girl again, this time being dragged away. She watched as the soliders took her, while she was crying the name "Jajuka"

She also saw the dog man, at first fighting, trying to reach her, they held him down, but he broke free running after the girl until a solider knocked him out. She watched as they left him there bleeding.

<Memory stopped> (A/N: I don't think I really need that but…you never know…:)

Then it stopped.

They both tried to brake free…but they couldn't, they called each others name and they were pulled further away, but still it was to no avail. At that moment, when Hitomi was beginning to become a blur in his vision, he became someone else, …a battle seem to wage inside him, he fought breaking free, not wanting to be alone again, but before he could move, he felt his vision going black, and a scream of "Jajuka" was heard from him.

Hitomi heard the scream, though she could not make out the words. Tears welled up in her eyes and she felt her self being taken farther and father away. Finally she lost consciousness.

When Hitomi woke up she was back on a table. She lifted herself up and saw it was the same table; she had been on when she arrived. When she looked around she stared into the gray eyes of a man robed in black.

"You have a lot of questions, I believe," he said. "You will know the answers in due time, but first let me tell you a story."

Dilandau found himself alone in a room, where only a table and chair sat. He sat on the chair and noticed a bottle of wine and a glass. He poured himself a drink, and after taking a couple sips he let it all out.

"Alone," he muttered. "I'm always alone, all my Dragon Slayers are gone…" he threw the bottle of wine at the wall.

A voice broke the strained silence.

"You are not alone any more Lord Dilandau."

A/N: This segment will have two parts…I thought it would be easier this away instead of combining them both.
