Legend of the White Wings

Hi esca fans! This is my first escaflowne fic and I hope you like it! I've been wanting to write one for a while but I was writing a cowboy bebop one and that was taking all my time! If you like cowboy bebop you should read it. It's called The Scar. Oh and if you like rurouni kenshin you should read my best friend Lil-Warrior-Gal's work. It's really good and funny! Go check her out but read mine first ^__^! Ok the background on this fic is it's set a few years in the future after Hitomi returned to earth for good. And here's the thing, she has a daughter! Can you guess who the father is? That's right! Our own lovable Van Fanel! That was a no brainer! Alright well I'll just do the disclaimer and the summary.

Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne only the characters I create (and believe me there are going to be a lot)!

Summary: Her mother told her stories of a man w/ white wings and a girl who could predict the future. She never really believed them until one day, 10 years after her best friend suddenly vanished in a strange blue light, Kanzaki Sukari is transported to a strange place and is now learning that they weren't just stories. Please R&R!

Prologue

Two children playfully chased each other in a field, the boy chasing the girl.

"Come on Kazu you're so slow!" the girl yelled back at the boy.

"Sukari wait up! I can't run as fast as you! Sukari!" the boy yelled after the girl. The girl, Sukari, stopped and fell on her back. The boy, Kazu, caught up to her and did the same. They breathed heavily while giggling.

"That was fun!" Sukari said looking up at the sky.

"Yeah. But you run faster than I do! I'm the boy I should run faster!" Kazu said.

"Girls can do anything faster and better than boys can!" Sukari said turning towards Kazu and sticking out her tongue.

"Yeah whatever." Kazu said smiling and looking back up at the clouds.

"Hey Kazu."

"Yeah?"

"You know how some people say they love each other after they spend a lot of time with each other."

"Yeah, so?"

"Well I..."

"Yeah?" Kazu said as Sukari stood up and looked at him.

"Well. I love you Kazu!" Sukari yelled confidently.

Kazu stood up and stared at Sukari w/ a baffled look. "You love me?"

"Yes. Do you love me?" Sukari asked blushing.

Kazu just stared at her and smiled. He blushed and nodded his head.

Sukari smiled and said, "Good! Then when we grow up we can get married and have lots of kids!"

"Yeah!" Kazu said cheerfully.

"Hold on Kazu! I have an idea!" Sukari said and ran to her little backpack that was lying under a tree. She rummaged through it and eventually took out a pink instant photo camera. She ran back over to Kazu and said, "Smile!"

Kazu grinned and Sukari quickly snapped a picture. An undeveloped photo came out.

"I'll keep this one of you. You take one of me and you keep it!" Sukari said handing the camera over to Kazu.

"OK. Say cheese!" Kazu said holding the camera up to his eye.

"Cheeeeeeeeeeese!" Sukari said with a huge smile on her face. Kazu took the picture and took the undeveloped photo out of the camera. They both sat by each other and watched as the pictures slowly began to develop.

"Wow! These are so cool!" Kazu said as the pictures fully developed.

"Yep! Now let's take some of both of us!" Sukari said. She held out the camera and took some pictures of both of them doing goofy and strange faces. The last picture she took she leaned over and kissed Kazu on the cheek. "That'll be a good one!" Sukari said as she took the photo and put it in her backpack. "We better go now! It's getting late and I'm hungry!"

A still flustered Kazu stood up and said, "Uh....yeah. I'm hungry too."

"Ok." Sukari said and put on her backpack. Just as she about to walk home she heard Kazu scream.

"Sukari!"

Sukari quickly turned around. Her eyes widened when she saw her friend, surrounded in a column of blue light.

"Kazu! What's going on?" Sukari yelled as Kazu's feet started to leave the ground.

"I don't know! Help me!" Kazu yelled as he held out his hand.

Sukari grabbed his hand and tried to pull him down. "Don't go!" Sukari's grip failed and Kazu rose higher into the air. "Kazuuuuu!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!" Kazu yelled and disappeared w/ the light.

Sukari just stood staring up at the sky as leaves blew by her. "Kazu...come back..." was all she could say as she fell to her knees and cried for her best friend.

~3 years later~

"Time for bed Sukari." Kanzaki Hitomi said to her 9 year old daughter.

"Mommy, tell me a story! Please!" Sukari asked her mother.

"OK. Uhhhhh...Oh I've got one. Here's one I've never told you before. A long time ago there was a girl who could see into the future through tarot cards.

"Tarot cards?" Sukari asked.

"Hmhm!" Hitomi chuckled. "Yes. Little cards with pictures on them. Anyway, one day this girl was sent to a strange planet. There she met a man with raven black hair and soft eyes. She also met a strange little cat girl with pink hair whom annoyed her. But this man had a guymelef called the Escaflowne."

"What's a guymelef?" Sukari asked.

"A robot you can get in and control. This guymelef helped the man with tough battles against an evil empire. But his brother was part of the empire! Well, there were many battle and hardships and the girl had trouble deciding who she truly loved, the man with the soft eyes or a handsome captain with long golden hair. But when she found out that the captain had had a son with a queen she was appalled, but she couldn't help love him, or so she thought."

"What did she do?"

"She fell in love the other man. In fact, he saved her life. But there was something different about how he saved her."

"What did he do?"

"He flew!"

"Flew?!"

"Yes! He had wings! Beautiful white wings! The man saved her using his wings. But before she went back home she told the man w/ the white wings how she felt and he felt the same way! She was so happy and when she went back home no one knew that she had left."

"Did she ever him again?"

"Yes, she did. She could go back whenever she wanted. But after a few years she realized that she had to return home for good. So she told the man with the white wings that she had to return for good. So they spent one last day and night together. Then almost a year after she returned home she had a child. A beautiful baby girl. She had had the angelic man's child and he would never know."

"So she never saw him again or even told him that they had a girl?"

"Nope. To this day, if that man still lives, he would never know about his daughter." Hitomi finished sadly. "Now it's time for my little girl to go to bed. It's late."

"One more question. What is the name of that story?" Sukari asked as she sank deeper into her covers.

Hitomi thought for a minute and then said, "I'll call it The Legend of the White Wings. Now go to sleep. I love you." She said and kissed Sukari on the forehead.

"*Yawn* Goodnight Mommy." Sukari said and fell completely asleep.

"Goodnight Sukari." Hitomi said and turned out the light and closed the door. "Van..."

That night Sukari dreamt about a man with white wings and guymelef named Escaflowne.
