*Home Is Where The Heart Is*

Chapter one

Hitomi just opened the door to her apartment and kicked off her shoes, and
flopped on the couch. "Van?" she said staring at the celing.

'Hitomi?' Van's voice replied in her head. It had been six years sense she
left Gaea and everyday she regretted it more.

'Hi Van.' she smiled closing her eyes to picture him. 'How was your day?'

'Would have been better if you were here.' Hitomi giggled.

'Don't try to butter me up.' Hitomi knew that Van knew she was having a bad
day.

'So when are you leaving?' Van asked.

'In about an hour.' Hitomi replied. She got up and started to change into
something more comfy. Witch was lose green pajama pants and a grey tank
top. 'Anyway's how was your day?'

'Ok I suppose, Allen and Celena are coming for a visit soon.' Van tolled
her as she pored some orange juice for herself. She took a sip.

'Oh really? That's good, lest you'll have some company. Tell them I said
hi.' Hitomi thought about that for a moment realizing there wasn't much
sense of him doing that. Allen knew they could 'talk' to each other but it
would be kind of weird for him to probably tell Van to say hi back.

'Ha, ok sure.' Van could read Hitomi's thoughts sense she was sending them
to him really. 'Anyway you go get ready, your parents are probably waiting
already.' Hitomi laughed.

'Yeah ok, I'll talk to you when I get there.' Hitomi thought back. With that
they said there goodbyes and stopped communicating. Hitomi then found her
self a snack, ate it put a pair of jeans on with a t-shirt that was white
that had some kind of sign on it. She pulled her long hair into a lose pony
tail and then haled on a jean jacket and grabbed her bags and suitcases
then went to get a cab. When she reached the airport and had gotten checked
in and was getting on the plain she suddenly couldn't wait to get home. It
was her mother that had called inviting her home for a few weeks. Her mother
had tolled her that she had some news to give her. He mother didn't sound
excited about that news but she didn't sound sad. That's what Hitomi
couldn't understand. But she didn't think very much of it, all Hitomi could
think of was seeing her family again. Hitomi had moved to do her University
corses and only got home on special occasions.

She rarely got to see them, but luckily for her she had these next few weeks
off. She also couldn't wait to see Yukari and Amono. Her friends she also
longed to see, Yukari and Amono were still dating and Hitomi knew they were
the perfect pair.

Hitomi now sitting in her seat staring down. She also knew that Van and
her were the prefect pair. It made her want to cry to know that the only
person she would ever love she couldn't be with. She knew she would never
love anyone else.

"Excuse me?" A voice brought her back to reality.

"Huh?" Hitomi looked up.

"Do you mind if we gave you another seat? A little girl wants her mother to
sit by her and her mother had this seat next to you" It was the stewardess.

"Oh of course not, go right ahead" Hitomi smiled. She grabbed her bag that
she was carrying with her and got up and followed the stewardess to her
other seat. Hitomi sat in her new set and put her bag under the seat ahead
of her until after take off. Hitomi shoved a piece of gum in her mouth to
help her ears from popping, when she realized the man next to her was
staring at her. He looked around Hitomi's age and had brown hair and brown
eyes that matched. "Oh I'm sorry would you like some?" she smiled.

"Oh no thank you." the man blushed a little. "Paro, Paro King." He
introduced himself.

" Hitomi Kansaki. Nice to meat you Paro." she put out her hand to shake his
which was already out. "So where are you headed Paro?" Hitomi asked him.

"Oh Tokyo, and you?" Paro smiled, he just couldn't seem to take his eyes
away from her, she was beautiful. No she was more then beautiful. Whatever
that happened to be. But her eyes, that's what he loved her eyes. They were
like emeralds, glistening with the light reflecting in them.

"Oh, I'm going to Tokyo too" Hitomi felt nervous all of a sudden. The way he
was looking at her, she now wished she never moved. "So um...why are you
going to Tokyo?" Hitomi managed to say.

"Oh I'm going to see my family they live there, and you?" Hitomi didn't want
to answer.

"I'm going to see my family as well." He smiled as he thought of what they
had in common. They then noticed that they were about to take off.

"Better put on your seat belt." he told her as she did it up as soon as he
finished. She was almost scared he would try to do it up for her. She was
then afraid she may have done it up to fast and made him think she was
nervous. Then she realized that she WAS nervous.

"Are you ok?" he asked her, "you look nervous, Oh let me guess you've never
flown before and your nervous? Oh well don't worry it's not bad." Hitomi
didn't want to lie but she also didn't want to tell him that it wasn't her
first time flying and that she wasn't afraid. It was HIM that made her
nervous.

"Oh ok." that was the last thing she said before she shut her eyes and
rested her head against her seat. She hoped he would stop talking, and he
did for the moment.

'Hitomi?' Hitomi was relieved it was Van. 'Something wrong?'

'Ha, no.' she smiled thinking back to him.

'Then why were you nervous?' Van sounded worried.

'Oh some guy sitting next to me is doing it.' she was so glad Van was
talking. 'Don't worry he isn't hurting me or anything, anyway I know your
busy so get back to work!' Hitomi told him off sarcastically.

'Haha sure' Van laughed and they then stopped talking. Hitomi smiled and
opened her eyes. Paro was looking out the window.

'Good I may be able to reach my bag with out him noticing' but she was
pretty sure she wouldn't but went for it anyway. She had it in her hand and
was about to open in on her lap when he turned and faced her with that big
grin.

"Oh so your not sleeping." he was glad of this fact and she could tell.

"Oh no." is all she said as she regretted opening her eyes altogether. She
then turned her thoughts back to her bag she opened it and took out a lap
top sense she was aloud to now, the plain was no longer taking off. She
flipped the lap top open and then placed some ear phones on her ears as she
pressed play for some music to play. Maybe he would leave her alone if she
was busy, she thought to herself. She opened a file and started typing.
Paro leaned over a bit to see what she was typing.

'An assignment' he discovered was what she was writing. "Oh an assignment,
what on?" wishing she never heard him she did. Hitomi didn't want to be rude
so she haled her earphones down so that they were hanging off her neck. She
then answered.

"Oh it's just a assignment for my English class that's all." she frowned to
herself in her mind as he replied the reply she definitely didn't want.

"Oh let me help, I'm an expert in English all straight A's. Don't mean to
brag." he smiled at her almost knowing that he put her on the spot.

'NO! NO! NO! HE IS NOT HELPING! Please don't help! Think Hitomi get yourself
out of this! Oh got it!' Hitomi had an idea. "Oh sorry, but if my teacher
found out that someone helped she'd-" she got cut off.

"How would you teacher ever find out? Come on like she is gonna find out
someone helped you on a plane." Hitomi had to come up with something fast,
which she did. She could easily tell this guy liked her so she would use it
as an advantage.

"Yes Paro, it is not likely but she has her way with getting at you finding
out your secrets you no, like teachers do." Paro nodded in agreement.

"Yes but I'm sure she wouldn't mind even if she did find out right?" he
asked her. A little upset that he couldn't help so far.

"Wrong." Hitomi told him "she would get very upset, and I mean VERY upset!
And you wouldn't want me getting in trouble would you?" Hitomi gave him the
cutest saddest face he had ever seen, she had him good. 'Got'em' Hitomi told
herself.

"No, your right I would never want that." Hitomi all of a sudden became
nervous again. "I like you to much, I would never want harm to come to
you." this was something Hitomi never expected.

'FOR GODS SAKE! YOU JUST MET ME!' Hitomi stared back at him nervousness
making her eyes wide. 'Think!' she told herself "oh how sweet." she smiled
a fake smile that she hoped looked real. She could read the now sad
expression on his face. Hitomi pretended not to see it and went back to
typing, and also turned her music on REALLY loud. She glanced over at Paro
once, he was reading, Hitomi was feeling guilty about what she did. Hitomi
was now finished her assignment when someone taped her shoulder.

"Excuse me can you please turn of your lap top we're landing now." it was
the stewardess. Hitomi didn't realize how fast the time past.

"Of course." Hitomi smiled. She suddenly regretted putting it away.

"You were on it the whole way, you didn't even eat." Paro smiled at her.

"Ha, well I know mom will have a big dinner for when I return, and I wanted
to finish that assignment so I didn't have to do it while I was home."
Hitomi haled out the lose pony tail she had in to hold her brown hair back
and ran her hand threw her hair. It felt good to let it hang loosely.

"Well that was a smart thing to do." he grinned at her. They both then felt
a bump and realized that the plane had landed. It finally came to a stop
and Hitomi grabbed her bag and began to walk. She was glad to be home she
couldn't wait to see everyone. She was walking threw the airport after
receiving her bags when she felt that someone was following her, she just
kept walking she had a feeling she knew who it was.

"Taxi!" she called as she waved a taxi down. Then a yellow car pulled over.
A man came out and started to put her things in the trunk.

"Hitomi!" a voice called. She knew who it was a screwed up her face, but
smiled when she turned around.

"Yes? Oh Paro is there something you wanted?" she asked as the taxi driver
got in the car.

"Um.....yeah Hitomi um...." Paro scratched the back of his neck, suddenly
interested by his shoes."Umm....I was wondering if you would like to go out
sometime?"

"As a date?" Hitomi asked as she opened the car door to lean her arm on it.
She felt bad because she knew he liked her and he was really nice and sweet
but she couldn't, no, it wasn't that she couldn't it was that she wouldn't
she loved Van and even though it wasn't fair they had to be apart she never
once regretted loving him.

"Yeah." he smiled, but suddenly frowned when he noticed Hitomi looking at
the ground. "Hitomi?" he asked as he took a step forward.

"I'm sorry." she studdered "I can't." Hitomi looked up.

'She looks like she's going to cry' Paro suddenly pitied her. "Someone else
right?" he tried to smile "don't worry, I should have none a beautiful girl
like you wouldn't be free." she just smiled a simple small smile and got
into the care.

"I'm so sorry Paro" she said threw the open window.

"May be if I'm lucky I'll see you again ok? Cya Hitomi." and with that Paro
walked off, but he couldn't shake this feeling that she was special, and
not just because he liked her. Hitomi couldn't help but feel bad for him.
She then told the driver where to go and he drove off. Hitomi tried to think
of better things like seeing her family. She shut her eyes and smiled she
couldn't wait.

"Here you go miss." the taxi pulled over and Hitomi stepped out. The man
got her bags and laid them next to her, she paid him and he drove off.

"Home." she breathed as she walked to the front door. She knocked on the
door to surprise whoever opened it.

"Hello?" her mother said as she opened the door, as she looked at Hitomi
tears came to her eyes. "HITOMI!" she pulled Hitomi into her arms and Hitomi
hugged her back she heard her dad coming and she hugged him too.
