I hate you … my love

Chapter 2: Targets!

"Kamatary! May I ask were the hell have you been all day?" - Kamatary ran to her husband and kissed him full on the lips.

"Shopping my darling, shopping!" - she turned around and her beautiful long black hair flew in the air.

"Shopping? And why haven't you told me a word about it? I was worried! God, do you ever think before acting?" - she sat on the edge of the bed and looked deep into his eyes smiling.

"Sergio you are so predictable! I'm not a child you know! I can take care of myself! Besides, I was with Yuki!" - he walked over to her and leaned forward to kiss her.

"Next time say something will you? After all I'm your husband and I care about you!" - she put her arms around his neck, slightly cherishing his short brown hair.

"I love you!" - they kissed and soon they laid their backs one the bed.

«*«*»*»

"Are you ok Yuki?" - Van asked as he helped her getting into her room.

"Sure! Thanks Van! I just fell a little dizzy for having walked all afternoon! I'm ok, don't worry!" - they smiled to each other as Van carried her to the bed.

"Next time take a carriage Ok? After all, you're almost having the baby! You don't want to push it to hard now do you?" - Vad laughed a little.

"You almost look like if you were the father Van!" - they both stopped smiling, that brought so many sad memories to them.

"Don't worry Yuki! We'll find out what happened to your husband! You can be sure of that." - he walked to the door.

"Thanks Van! I'm sure you'd make a wonderful father!" - he smiled and left the room, closing the door behind him.

"Sure! A wonderful father!" - he sighed as he walked over to his chambers.

"VAN!" - Chris jumped over him, almost making him fall.

"Chris? What the HELL is the matter with you? Are you crazy?" - he yelled, after he caught up his balance.

"Van I've got a big problem!" - Van looked suspiciously at her.

"What is it his time?" - he asked, obviously pissed off.

"I accidentally …" - she stopped and Van could see that she had made something very bad. - "… Burned your new outfit!"

"YOU DID WHAT?" - the entire hell fell apart with his scream.

"Sorry!" - she said as she made a puffy face.

"What the hell am I suppose to wear tonight? What were you thinking about when you decide to make firework around my room?" - he asked furiously.

"Well, I think I don't have an answer to your question, because I really don't know how the hell I burned your outfit, considering that I only noticed it when it was already half destroyed."

Van sighed heavily.

"At least, I didn't burn your entire wardrobe!" - Van sweatdroped.

"Giz! Am I not lucky?" - he started walking like a zombie to his room, muttering some stuffs that Chris couldn't quite understand.

«*«*»*»

"These are you're targets!" - Luktor gave her some photos in hand. - "The first one is the King of Fanelia, Van Fanel, considered one of the best swordsman Gaea has ever seen! The second is called Zardus, the king's cousin! The third is Zardus sister and consequently Van is her cousin too, her name's Ureshiu!" - he made a small pause as he sat at his desk. - "Next you have Yuki, Van is her cousin too. And last of them all is the mighty Kamatary, knowned as the best swordswomen that has ever lived! None of them should be underestimated. They are all very skilled! You have to eliminate them all! One by one. Understand?" - she nodded coldly. - "Good! Tonight they'll have a ball, a mask ball. It's the perfect way of you knowing your targets, so that will be easier to kill them after you know them. Maybe you could make friendship with them, that way they would suffer even more when they notice that they are being murdered by one of their friends. Isn't it lovely?" - he laughed like a maniac (which is exactly what he is!). He stopped laughing abruptly. - "Now leave. Get a horse and ride to Fanelia, it should be easy to enter the Palace with all those guests, they won't notice one more. GO!" - she bowed and left. Her cloak and her long black hair flew in the hair, as she ran down the hallway, with the photos on her left hand.

«*«*»*»

"Oh Van!" - someone called from outside his bedroom's door.

"Yes?" - he asked rolling his eyes.

"May I come in?"

"Sure!" - he said as he got up from the bed.

"What are you still doing in here? All your guest have already arrived!" - Chris said as she walked close to him. - "Hey, you look gorgeous on that outfit! And the mask sure gives you some sort of charm!" - he smiled at her and offered her an arm.

"Shall we go Milady?" - she nodded and they both walked to the ballroom.

They were both using normal clothes and than a mask. But most of the persons, who had come, brought some sort of fantasy on. Like in Halloween or Carnival.

"Mommy!" - a four-years-old girl ran to Chris and grabbed her dress as soon as she got to her. A five-years-old boy was right behind her. - "Mommy, Donovan is chasing me all over the place!" - the girl said as she started crying.

"It isn't true mommy! Father asked me to take care of her! I'm just trying to get her away from trouble!" - the little boy said, almost starting to cry too.

Chris let go of Van's arm and got on one knee, starting to calm down her little babies.

"Don't cry Minnie! Donovan is only trying to help you! You're still too young to be alone in a great palace like this!" - the little girl nodded and than she grabbed her brother's hand and they started walking along with Van and Chris to the ballroom.

"You sure know how to deal with them!" - Van said smiling.

"Of course! Their my children!" - the guards opened the huge doors, so that they could enter the enormous ballroom. Everyone turned to see the king arriving.

Chris and her kids walked by to where Sano was, chatting with some of his friends.

Soon all the guest returned to their dancing and Van sighed in relief. How he hated when everybody stared whenever he entered some place. Sometimes he hated to be a king.

«*«*»*»

Lune was chasing after the little Mena.

Lune was a five-years-old boy, with brown hair and honey-colour eyes. He was the only son of Hitomi and Zardus.

Mena was a three-years-old cat-girl. The eldest of Merle's daughters. She had blue hair and was a kitty in all aspects.

"Mena, don't ran while looking behind, you can hit on someone!"

"I'm not like you! I know were I'm going!" - as soon as she finished saying this, she fell backwards, after hitting something.

"Yeah right!" - Lune said with a big grin placed on his face. He helped Mena up and she hurried up on saying sorry to whomever she had hit against.

"I'm very sorry lady!" - the kind lady just smiled at her. Then she leaned to the little kitty.

"You're Merle's daughter aren't you?" - the girl nodded and smiled. - "You look so mush like her! Although anyone could figure out that Seico is your father! Am I not right?" - the girl nodded once more. Than the lady got up.

"How do you know my mommy and daddy?" - she asked as any normal kid would.

"From around! Now go play with your friend and be careful not to fall again!" -the girl and the boy nodded and started running again, among the amount of people that filled the room.

The women looked around, and stopped when she found Kamatary. She was happily chatting with Hitomi and Celena. Anger started flowing in her eyes.

"God what a mess!" - she turned around as she heard a somewhat familiar voice. - "I ruined my dress already! And the night as just begun!" - Chris walked by Memientes, with her dress all soaked with juice. She was getting some for her children, when little Mena hit against her and she turned it all over her dress.

Chris looked back, to the strange women with a black dress and a golden mask. She walked back at her.

"Don't I know you from somewhere?" - she asked, as the women looked her in the eye.

Memientes smiled a little. - "I don't think so Milady!" - Chris made a inquiring face and kept going to her chambers to change the dress.

"Hey Baby, want me to clean that for you!" - a drunk man asked as Chris passed in front of him. The other drunk men laughed along.

"What if … I showed you a finger …" - and she showed it actually. - "… and called out my husband? Then we would see who would need to be cleaned!" - all the men stared at her amazed.

«That women sure has some guts!» - Memientes thought to herself as she turned away again.

She got out from the ballroom and went to the gardens. She sat down on the grass, sighing and starting to cry. - "Hume … Maboroshi … I couldn't protect you … and know I'll have to kill them all!" - she cried out, with her head on her legs.

"Lady?" - he looked up and saw a little blonde boy, about six-years-old, looking down at her with hope in his eyes. - "It's really you lady! You got here just like you wanted!" - the boy jumped on to her and hugged her, crying out with happiness.

"Mussume! I Never thought I would find you here my darling!" - the boy stopped crying and looked up at her.

"Why didn't you go to Palass as soon as you got back? I was worried because you didn't appear last night." - she looked at him sadly.

"Something happened … but now I'm here and I'm glade you're ok!" - she hugged him tight against her.

"It's good to finally see you in flesh! You're even more beautiful alive that in my mind!" - she smiled at him, as in thanks for his kindness.

"How are Hume and Maboroshi?" - she got sad once more and Mussume noticed it. - "What happened?" - she smiled at him, not to make him worry about something that as nothing to do with him.

"Nothing! Everything is ok! One of this days I'll take them to Palass so that you can meet them." - the boy nodded and they both got up. - "I must go now! Take care of yourself!" - he nodded once more, and watched her leave the castle.

Than he ran inside, close to his mother and father. - Mommy, mommy!" - he called out as he pushed his mother's skirt.

Mirana looked down at her little boy. - "What is it darling?"

"Mommy, I saw the lady of my dreams! She was at the gardens and was real! I told you she was real!" - Mirana looked astonished at her little boy.

"You mean that lady who asked you about how were things doing in Fanelia?" - he nodded and Mirana started running o her husband.

Lady? Shouldn't he know her name? The answer is no! Memientes used to appear to Mussume as a dream every night, on the last three years. He told everything to his mother and father, but they thought she was like and imaginary friend who only appeared in dreams.

And don't give me that look, just because now everyone has their own kids. Kids are so cute! I love children. Besides they won't play a major part of the story. Well maybe Maboroshi and Hume will, but they are the only ones.

See you people!

OH! I forgot something! About Kamatary and Sergio! Well it's kind of confusing and I pretend on doing a chapter about it. The stuff is that, after two years away from Gaea, Kamatary returned, but she was already married to Sergio, and the strangest thing was that she didn't even remember that she was engaged to Van.

Merle, Chris and Van itself, were the only ones who knew they were engaged. When Van saw Kamatary and Sergio he decided not even to talk about it.

Kamatary hasn't talk about it since then. It's almost as she had forget that her and Van has ever had any kind of relationship.

With the time, Van learned to live seeing her in the arms of another, bur only with the help of Chris and Merle.

Not that he is happy, but when you really love someone you want the best for that person, even if that includes your sadness.

So sweet!

Anyway, that will be explained when the time comes!

See you!
