"So" Continued Duo "Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"Yeah; I have a little brother called Haiiren, he's sweet most of the time, although he can be annoying sometimes, but I just have to live with it I guess."

"Wow. Most guys I know in America hate their sisters and vice versa! So how old is he?"

"Only 5. He'll be 6 next month."

"So, what about you? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"Nope! Just little old me!" He said jokingly.

Just then, Amano and Yukari came into view, and signalled to Duo to stay quiet. So he and Hitomi just kept on talking, Hitomi totally unaware that Yukari was standing RIGHT behind her, ready to pounce.

"BOO!" Said Yukari, showing off the triumphant smile as she managed to scare the hell out of her best friend.

"Hey! What the you do that for?!"

"Hi-to-mi" Said Yukari in a sing-song tone. "Are you trying to chat this guy up?" she whispered in her friend's ear, with a big grin on her face.

"Yukari!" (This is outrage! I can't even talk to a guy without Yukari thinking that I'm trying to pull him!)

" You still haven't answered my question, Hitomi " she teased.

"No I'm not; and for you're information, it's none of your business what I do."

"Oooohhh! Handbags!"

"Yukari, can't you see that Hitomi's embarrassed already?" Amano pointed out.

"Yeah, but I'm trying to see if she fancies him; seeing as every other girl in our school does." She said in a hushed
tone.

"Lord Van! Time to wake up!" shouted a boisterous Merle.

(sighs) "Oh Lord Van, when will you be happy again?"

With a trail of pure white feathers trailing aimlessly behind him, the troubled angel flew to a place not too far away from the kingdom, and landed gracefully on the ground. He sat down, enjoying his own company and the silence of the open land; lush green grass covering the entire land as far as the eye could see. Trees swayed in the wind, as if to mock his misery. Flowers danced with the wind in perfect harmony. Although the young king looked peaceful, his heart was far from it; the shade of the grass reminded him of Hitomi's sparkling bright green eyes, her cheeky but sweet nature; the colour of the valley that wrapped it's protective arms around Fanelia, was the same colour as her sandy brown hair. Everywhere he went, at anything he looked at, he was reminded of her. He was longing for her company again. No, not her company; he was longing for her love.

'I love you'

It was the last thing she said to him just before she left Gaea for Earth, and it was the last time he ever heard her voice. Everything was so peaceful here; everyone is so happy now that Fanelia is near restoration from the great war 3 years ago. Everything was more or less back to normal; everything, but his heart, which refused to let memories of his loved one be buried or lost. Dreams were plagued by her; and she also invaded his thoughts in his waking hours, too.

"Hitomi, I miss you so much."

Then he looked up at the sky, as if asking for some guidance on the matter, but nothing came. No one answered him, and no one could help him to ease his pain and longing but her. Then he looked down at the pretty yellow flowers that sprung up from the ground here and there. A silent tear tearing it's way down his cheek, fighting for it's own path, and hung on to his chin, not wanting to let go; but then gave way to the wind, and crash-landed into the grass below, shattering into tiny droplets.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Hitomi looks out of her bedroom window, into the indigo night sky, praying to the stars who don't seem to care about her sadness. She breathes a deep, sad sigh. It's been 3 years that passed since the two last met; 3, long, painful years. Hitomi will be 19 soon. As she scans the houses opposite, something white catches her eye. She reached out to catch it; and watched, as a long, white feather gracefully descended into the palm of her hand. More painful memories came flooding back to her mind, like moonbeams hitting her mind. Listening to the new Faith Hill song, the words shot at her heart like a driven sword of pain.


'In my dreams I always see you soar above the sky.
In my heart there'll always be a place for you
for all my life.
I'll keep a part of you with me...

And everywhere I am, there you'll be.'


Just as her emotions have gripped her, tears were ready to fall; and break the barrier of confidence which had kept her calm and strong for so long - all of a sudden, something glistened in the park nearby. A sparkle. Or was it just the moon playing tricks on her? Either way, she was sure that she saw something in the park just then. Another sparkle. Then, suddenly, there was a sparkling light, radiating from somewhere from within the park. It seemed to be some sort of barrier or portal, but whatever it was, something was coming from the other side. A woman. She was quite tall, with long, dark flowing hair which reflected the moonlight. Hitomi couldn't tell what she was wearing in the dim lighting; but it was some kind of long gown with a cloak. The portal vanished in the instant that the woman had stepped through. What was she doing?? Doesn't she know how dangerous it is to be out at this time of night - in a park? Judging from the way she moved and looked at the surroundings around her, Hitomi could tell that this mysterious woman wasn't from Earth.


So who is she?
