1 Demons and Angels
Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne or the characters. I only own the characters I create and the attitudes I give the Escaflowne characters, which I don't own.
A/N: Oh and please don't steal my ideas. Another thing is this stuff is off the top of my head so if it's like someone else's it's more then likely a coincidence and freaky! Someone that thinks like me is really scary!
Alternate Universe:
Hitomi Kanzaki is half demon, half human. She is the princess of all demons, fire, and friend to dragons.
Van is half draconian (angels said to be cursed). He is the King of Fanellia, draconians, and friend to dragons.
1.1 Chapter One
1.1.1 "The journey begins"
In a dark and red throne room there sits the teenage princess of demons. Hitomi sits lazily on her throne apparently bored. Her advisors are sitting along the rectangular table on the floor below Hitomi's slightly elevated throne.
'Bored, bored, bored...'
"Princess." One of the advisors spoke up breaking Hitomi away from her thoughts of, well, boredom.
"Yes?" Hitomi asked casually.
"You have cleaned the castle spotless, and believe it or not, the maids are complaining. You have been cooking wonderful meals and the cooks are getting jealous of your talents. You have also taken care of all affairs, and so on and so forth, as proof of your boredom..."
"Your point is?" Hitomi asked a bit curious as to what he was getting at.
"Well, it seems there is nothing more for you to do and you seem unhappy." The young advisor started again.
'My friend, Moraf, you're reading me like a book. Are my feelings so obvious?' Hitomi thought to herself as her advisor, friend, continued.
"May I suggest a vacation to the surface world? Mingle with humans for a while." The young advisor commented.
"Really? And why do you suggest this? Do you have some other motive?" Hitomi asked with a skeptic tone, though she really liked the idea she wasn't sure about it.
"Well... my vacation has happened to come up and I will be leaving tomorrow, so I will be able to accompany you. Just two friends on summer break! Not only will you be able to get away for a while and do something other then sit around, but the others can't object on any solid grounds for you will have an escort." The young man said in a friendly tone.
"But the Princess ca..."
"That's a great idea Moraf! We leave just before dawn! NO BUTS ABOUT IT! If you need me, contact my pendant or send Sarona. If anyone can find me, she can. Jedaso is the only one I want staying here to take care of affairs, and if you do, inform me first. Okay?" Hitomi interrupted the old advisor.
"Okay." Both Moraf and Jedaso said at the same time. They might have been the two youngest advisors, (both 17), but they were her most trust.
"Great. You're dismissed. Everyone except Moraf and Jedaso, leave." Hitomi said. The advisors just looked at her. "When I say leave, I mean it. NOW!" Everyone, except Moraf and Jedaso, left as commanded.
"Now that they're gone, can we talk like normal?" Jedaso asked.
"Good idea." Hitomi said cheerfully as she jumped down from her throne and right into a seat at the head of the table, where Jedaso sat on her right and Moraf on her left. "You don't mind staying here all alone, do you?" Hitomi asked Jedaso in a playful, child-like manner.
"A little bit, but I know you don't trust the others as much as you do Moraf and I. Since he's going with you, I'll have to hold down the fort." Jedaso said sincerely, but playfully.
"Thanks." Hitomi said as she pecked him on the cheek. "You both are the best friends a girl could have." She said as she pecked Moraf on the cheek and ran off towards her room. She stopped at the door. "I'm going to bed now. I'll see you both in the morning. Sleep well, both of you. Especially you Moraf, I am not going to be dragging you around half asleep! Good night my friends." With that, Hitomi left to go to her room.
Moraf and Jedaso placed their hands on their cheeks where she had kissed them and looked at one another.
"I like being her friend!" Moraf exclaimed to break the silence.
"So do I! You lucky little brat! You get to take her out for who knows how long. A month? I wish I were you." Jedaso said with a hint of jealousy.
"Actually, a month and a week. But who's counting. Not to mention, you're not me, so there." Moraf exclaimed and stuck out his tongue. Both took their hands away from their cheeks. "Besides, a month after we get back, you're vacation time begins. By that time she'll be bored again. She will want to go somewhere, and she will need another escort. Get the picture?" Moraf added.
"I get it. You know, normally I hate going on vacations, but she makes them enjoyable. I remember last time I was dying to come home, then she took me to a party and they invited us to another one the next day, and the day after that. By the time those were over, I didn't want to come back! She can make everyone around her happy, if she cares to." Jedaso reminisced.
"We are so lucky to have a friend like her. Sure, she acts mean to outsiders, so she keeps her reputation, but everyone here knows the real Hitomi. We demons all know the Hitomi we love. The only person with human blood we can love." Moraf commented.
"Love is an emotion we demons aren't supposed to have, but thanks to Hitomi, we do feel love and we are glad to be able to. Right?" Jedaso asked.
"Right! Let's go to bed. It's been a long day." Moraf answered.
"For the next month and a week, you'll find yourself having a lot of long days!" Jedaso stated.
"I bet." Moraf said as he patted his friend on the shoulder and stared to walk off to bed.
"Moraf?" Jedaso said as he stopped walking in the opposite direction to his room.
"Be careful and take good care of the Princess. Protect her." Jedaso said with a concerned and serious look on his face.
"I'll protect her with my life!" Moraf said with solemnly.
Jedaso nodded and they both went on their ways.
________________________________
"We're all packed and ready to go!" Moraf yelled from the carriage to Hitomi's balcony.
"Do you need me to open the portal to the surface world or can you take care of it?" Hitomi yelled back as she looked in the mirror. She was wearing a long, flowing red dress. It had long sleeves with slits on the shoulders, revealing her birthmark on her right shoulder, a flame. Her red headband and high heels went quite well with her outfit. Everything went well with her green-eyes and sandy-blonde hair.
"Way ahead of you Hitomi... I mean, Princess Hitomi!" yelled Moraf, correcting himself as he yelled to her once more. "You wanted to leave before dawn, didn't you?" Moraf asked.
"Coming!" Hitomi said as she jumped from the balcony.
"Hitomi?! What are you doing?!" Moraf yelled as he prepared to run and catch her.
She landed with amazing grace. Landing on both feet, one in front of the other, making her seem as if she could fly.
"You looked scared. What's wrong, my friend?" Hitomi asked Moraf.
"Please, don't do that. I worry about you!" Moraf said sincerely.
"But I like jumping around and on roof tops. It's fun and good exercise. If I ever get into a fight, I'll need to be able to know how to use my agility in all kinds of situations." Hitomi said, giving her excuses.
"Okay. Just, be careful. You are our beloved Princess after all, and everyone would kill me if anything ever happened to you." Moraf explained.
"Point taken." Hitomi responded with a cheerful smile. "Let's go. We're going to have so much fun! See you later Jedaso!" Hitomi said as she hugged Jedaso and kissed his cheek.
"We're expecting you to keep everyone in line Jedaso and, keep out of trouble." Moraf yelled from the carriage as he waved.
"See you soon Jedaso. If you need me, you know how to contact me!" Hitomi said as she waved. Moraf closed the carriage door and they both stuck their heads out of the window.
"Bye! See you soon!" Hitomi yelled, while hanging out of the window.
"Princess, that's not very lady-like!" one of the elder advisors yelled. When Hitomi heard this, she pulled back into the carriage and sat down.
"Onward." Moraf said to the driver. He was still hanging out the window and waving.
The driver shook and the reins and cracked his whip, which made Hitomi shudder, and they were off through the red, glowing portal in front of them.
' Those poor horses, must he use the whip?' Hitomi thought.
The carriage was soon zooming through a red tunnel, lights flashing and passing by in the opposite direction. Before long they appeared on a small road in a forest.
"Beautiful. The trees are so green, and beautiful." Hitomi said while looking out the window, admiring the scenery.
"Yes, but their not quite as beautiful of a green as your eyes." Moraf said softly. "For your eyes are jewels that glow with life." Moraf added.
These words made Hitomi's cheeks very warm. "That's a very sweet thing to say Moraf. Thank you."
"You're welcome, Princess Hit..."
"Just Hitomi, Moraf. From now on, its just Hitomi." Hitomi corrected, cutting Moraf off. "On this vacation, we're just going to go as friends. Not as Princess and advisor. Got it?"
Moraf nodded. "I understand Hitomi, my friend."
"Great! Plus, no one where we're going knows who I really am, hopefully. No humans have ever seen me, and have known my name. I mean, they knew my name, they just didn't know me, and I wasn't going around telling everyone my name." Hitomi commented.
"What name did you tell them then?" Moraf asked.
"I never gave them a name. I refused to give them a name of any kind, so they called me 'Green Eyes'. Green-eyed and red-eyed humans seem to be uncommon."
"That's because they are. Only a few demons, draconians, and maybe one or two humans have red eyes. And green eyes seem to be even more uncommon among all three." Moraf said.
"Why?" Hitomi asked, very confused.
'Why are my green eyes so uncommon?' Hitomi asked herself in her mind.
"Because, it's said that people with green eyes can..." Moraf trailed off, rethinking his decision of whether or not he should tell her.
"Can what, Moraf?" Hitomi asked, now right up in his face.
"Nothing. Forget it." Moraf said.
"Don't lie to me Moraf!" Hitomi said in a firm voice as she placed her finger under his chin and pulled his face over to look into her eyes.
"It's said that people with green eyes can... They can..." Moraf stuttered.
"They can what?!" Hitomi asked in a dangerous voice.
Moraf turned his head and whispered something that Hitomi couldn't hear.
"What was that?!" Hitomi asked.
