"Wh-who's that?" Quickly wiping away her tears, and hoping that her eyes didn't look too red, she looked up to see who it was; and drowned a sea of electric blue eyes.

"Who do I know with blue eyes?" Thought Hitomi (with the exception of Allen, of course) She pondered about it, still staring into those hypnotic blue eyes.

"Did I scare you? " Asked a friendly voice.

"Nah." Said Hitomi.

"My name's Duo Maxwell. What's your's?" He said, sitting down next to her.

"M-my name?" From this close distance, he looks SO cute! ohmegod-ohmego-ohmegod!!! NOW I'm tongue tied?! I didn't even have this problem in my languages exams!! So why now?! (takes a deep breath) Ok Hitomi, just tell him your name, and stay calm, cause that's all he asked for.

"My name's Hitomi. Hitomi Kanzaki."

"Hitomi, eh? It sounds really nice. And cute."

"Thanks." Said Hitomi, blushing slightly. Hey! Is HE the new student that everyone keeps talking about?

"Are you the new student that everyone keeps talking about?"

"Yeah, I'm new here, but I didn't know I was that famous!" He said jokingly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mean while, on Gaea.....~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hitomi!!! Please don't leave me again!!!!" He pleaded.

But to no avail. No matter what he tried to say or do, she didn't even notice that he was there. At first, she was just standing there, looking around, trying to find her bearings and to figure out where she was. Then she started to run, a slow, gentle run at first, then broke into an amazingly fast sprint. She was now running. Running, like her life depended on it. He followed her, but where was she going? It looked as if they were in a very dark, deserted place, where the only light came from above. Suddenly, as if by magic, they broke into a clearing of light; which gradually revealed a lush, green garden full of exotic flowers of every kind imaginable. Birds of paradise, Lilies, and Lotus flowers were all scattered all over this cryptic haven to name but a few. Still following close behind her, she gathered speed, running faster and further away from him by the minute. She came to a sudden holt, and he nearly bumped into her. It looked like she was waiting for someone. but who? Then it became clear to him. A very tall man with very long hair stepped out from the shadows nearby, and embraced her in a loving hug. Then they kissed. He tried in vain to shout, call and nudging her to try and get her attention, but nothing worked.

"WHY?! WHAT'S GOING ON???!!!???!!" He shouted, sitting bolt upright in bed. Sweat was dripping down all sides of his face.

"Lord Van! What's the matter?! Are you alright?! Speak to me!"

"Yes, I'm alright Merle, I just had a nightmare, that's all."

"Boy, it must have been a horrifying one, because you practically nearly woke everyone up in the palace!"

"Sorry Merle. It's just that, I - I had that same dream again, the one where I see Hitomi running away from me. I've had the same dream for weeks now. Merle, what is it supposed to mean? TELL ME!! PLEASE!!"

"I don't know lord Van! But please try to calm down and get some sleep. It probably just means that you're missing Hitomi a lot lately."

"Yeah, maybe you're right Merle; but I just have this sinking feeling that I'm losing her. I don't know how or why, but I feel as though I'm losing her, and if I don't do something soon, I might lose her - forever."

After a moment he calmed down, and the young king went back to sleep, and when he was sure that Merle had gone out of the room, he began to weep. Feelings of lost identity, and loneliness crept up onto him, and began a malicious attack on the now emotionally vulnerable king. But above all, his heart was mourning for a lost love....

Hehe! Thanx for reading and reviewing my story! ^_^ I hope you will continue to do so and to tell me what you think of it! Don't worry, the chapters WILL get longer; I've just a few things to sort out, and then it's all ready for posting! ^_~
