Allen Schezar stood in the small hanger of the Crusades with Van and a number of his crew. They were getting ready to rescue Hitomi and were attempting to sneak into Zaibach using a copy of one of Zaibach�s own cloaking devices. Their only problem was they didn�t know where Hitomi was being kept.
****Recently after Hitomi was captured****
Six soldiers escorted one female down a hallway. When they reached a large door the young blond was shoved through the doorway, with the sound of the said door slamming shut behind her. �What have I gotten myself into?� she said, completely unaware of the rooms other occupant.
�It would appear you were captured.� Hitomi was completely caught off guard by the answer and let out a small yelp. Suddenly the room was flooded with light and Hitomi looked over the man standing across the room. His black cloak made him look very intimidating and his face did nothing to help nor the fact that he was a good foot taller then her. Hitomi took notice of the strange tattoos on the strangers face. The purple tear drop made her wonder why�
�You must be Hitomi�Am I right?� Folken said interrupting her train of thought. �I�m Folken and I was hoping you could help me with a small problem I�ve been presented with.�
Hitomi was a bit thrown off by the question, which did nothing to help he nervousness, and stumbled back into the door. �W�What sort of problem?� Folken reached his left hand out towards her, then past her to the doorknob. Opening the door he gestured for her to follow.
�Please follow me and I will be happy to show you.� They walked down a poorly lit hallway for a bit, Folken in front of Hitomi. Folken finally broke the silence with a question. �Tell me, did you hear the rumors about Dilandau?�
�I�ve only heard one or two of them. I�m sure there is more than that. Why?�
�What have you heard?�
�Mostly that he killed himself�there were others, but those made no sense?�
�The extent of people�s imagination,� Folken said with a chuckle.
�Do you really find it funny?� Hitomi said with an odd look. �I may not have liked him, but it isn�t funny when anyone takes their own life� Am I to assume that he isn�t dead since you were laughing?�
�No he isn�t dead, but he isn�t really the way he used to be.� Folken replied, adding to Hitomi�s confusion. They stopped in front of a metal door, which Folken opened. Hitomi was shocked to find the room was really a large indoor garden with a small house on the far side of the large room. With all the plants it was difficult to tell it was a room at all.
/It must take up an entire level/ Hitomi thought.
�I take it you like it here?� Folken asked looking at the smile that formed on her face.
�It�s beautiful.�
�That�s good because this is where you will be staying for how ever long yo will be staying here.�
�Am I going to be staying here alone? I thought I was going to help you with a problem?�
�FOLKEN-SAN!� came a sudden voice from inside the house. Shortly after, a young blonde about Hitomi�s age came running out of the house wearing a simple blue summer dress. She had short hair and blue eyes that showed nothing but energy and innocents.
�Hello Celena,� Folken greeted the girl with a one-armed hug that she received gladly. Then Celena turned to Hitomi and gave her a huge smile.
