HITOMI GIRLDRAGONSLAYER: HITOMI'S REACTION

Hitomi looked up at Van as he sat down beside her. She studied him, as neither one struck up a conversation. He had changed since the start of the war. He was no more naïve in battle and war, he was now very much older, due to death and other sites which he had witnessed. His body was still lean, but the muscle definition was much more noticeable. She half-smiled, his hair was still unruly as ever. Van broke their companionable silence.

"I want you to know something, Hitomi" began Van.

<Zaibach's capital>

"Pressure levels are rising…everything is ready." Spoke a sorcerer.

"Hitomi…" began Folken.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111

"Hitomi," Van said, "I want you."

Hitomi's mouth dropped open. `Van wants me.'

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111

Dilandau felt caged. He needed air. He was tired of staying here, only with Jajuka, he need to get out, get anywhere but here, to many memories were stirring up, and he needed anything something, to help get control. He was in another stupid meeting, and he hated these meetings. Ignoring the protests and shouts from the generals and Jajuka, Dilandau left heading to the hanger where he got in his Alseides and left…not looking back. He was free.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111

Hitomi was in shock. Van wanted her. "Oh Van," she said sweetly.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111

"Pressure level decreasing, chaos level is slowly falling," yelled another sorcerer.

"Concentrate Eryia," whispered Folken.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111

"Hitomi, I want-I want your power!"

"What!" Hitomi said.

"I want you power, I want to know how to use it, to use it like you so I can destroy my enemies!"

A smack was heard.

Van held a hand to his cheek and it stung badly. He never knew Hitomi could hit that hard.

"All you want is my power?" Hitomi said shakily, wanting to die.

Tears began to cloud her vision. She had to go somewhere, get away from this nightmare of knowing Van didn't want her for just who she was, not what she could do.

"Hitomi!" Van called.

Hitomi did not hear him she was already running away. She had to leave quickly for she broke down all together. Tears started to fall.

<15 min later>

Hitomi came to a stop. She panted heavily, but she felt a bit better. She looked at her surroundings and saw she was on the outskirts of Asturia. She decided to explore the town.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111

Dilandau landed his guymelef in a patch of the Asturia forest. He climbed out breathing in the cool air. `Looks like it may rain soon' He decided to visit a familiar spot.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 11111111

<Hitomi's walk>

Hitomi has started to feel a bit better, but as she walked through this town she felt tears surface. She had to be in some kind of nightmare because all the people she passed were happy couples. She had never felt so lonely. She blushed as she watched them show their public affections to each other.

She decided she would be through with Van. All her hopes and dreams were finished with him. He was no better than Dornkirk, She was tired of this place and she wanted to go back home. She sighed, she had been walking for so long she had no idea were she was going.

She kept walking, not really having anyplace to be at, nor did she want to go back and face Van. As she passed a forest, she noticed a bridge overlooking part of Asturia's lake. She decided to go and sort out her thoughts and feelings there.

As Hitomi neared she saw another person was already leaning over one side of the bridge overlooking the water. She was even more shocked when the figure glanced over at her, since they had heard footsteps and called out a familiar name.

"Tara?"

Hitomi looked up and stared in wonder. Dilandau was right in front of her. He still had that haughty look only slightly displaced as the wind kept ruffling his hair.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111

"Pressure is rising higher and higher," a sorcerer cried.

"Now" whispered Folken. "Let us finish this, Eyria."

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 11111111

< On The bridge>

"Dilandau, what are you-

"I could ask you the same"

Hitomi blushed. `Is this real, or a dream' Dilandau moved closer. "Why are you here, why did you leave me?"

"I-They took me away." Answered Hitomi.

"Who took you away"?

"A sorcerer,"

"Oh" said Dilandau. His next reply shocked Hitomi to the core. "Now that I have you again, you are not to leave me alone, I do not care who wants you gone."

Hitomi closed her eyes briefly. She hated being called Tara. Her name was Hitomi. She had to let him know, tell him, that she wasn't who he may think she is.

"Dilandau," Hitomi started, "I'm not who you think-

Dilandau cut her off again. "It doesn't matter who you are, because we went over this already, you are mine."

Dilandau caught her lips in a passionate kiss. Hitomi lost herself in the pleasure in Dilandau's skilled lips. `This is definitely not a dream, this is real.'

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111

"I can see it…I can see my vision!" Dornkirk exclaimed.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 111111111

Van was in utter shock. One of his worst enemies was lip locked with a girl he cared for. A girl he protected with his life. He was heartbroken. He let his sword clatter to the ground.

Hitomi heard a clatter and broke the kiss. Turning, She became pale as she saw Van run away. `He saw me kiss him, oh my' She had caught his eye before he turned and ran. He looked mad. She started to run after him, but something was stopping her. Dilandau was holding her hand.

"Tara, Come back with me."

"I-I can't Dilandau"

"No, You just don't want to." Dilandau said angrily.

Hitomi was confused, She wanted to explain to Van but Dilandau seemed to need her. She thought about Dilandau and his messed up life, and then she thought about Van. Even though Van's life was messed up, she was still mad at him. `I'm over him, but still I want to explain to him…' she began arguing with her self.

"Please Tara."

Hitomi looked up at Dilandau, she saw a desparate yearning in his eyes.

"Tara, I-I want you, I need you, you Tara, just you."

Hitomi felt tears spring. She had longed to these words. Someone did not want her for a pawn or even because she had powers. Someone needed her, just her. Even if he didn't know who she really was, and maybe in time, she could break it to him and she could make him understand.

She than realized if she went with him her relationship with Van would be over. She would also never probably find a way home. She would also be on the enemy's side by choice. She knew whatever side she would choose would be final. She knew if she went with Dilandau he would never let her return.

Yet she wanted to help Van save Gaia. Could she still do it teamed with Dilandau? Teamed with someone who wanted her for her, and not with someone only with her for her powers.

"Tara, please, come with me." Dilandau tugged on her hand, gently intertwining it with his. Hitomi stared at Dilandau and than at their hands.

Hitomi made a decision. Whatever she decided right now could ultimately change the fate of Gaia…for good or bad.

"Dilandau," she began.
