Hey! This is my first songfic, and when I heard this song, I immediately thought of Van and Hitomi.

I do not own Esaflowne or The Vision of Escaflowne or anything that comes along with it. I do not own the lyrics or the song "Flying High" by Jem.

Well here it goes! Hope you like it :D

This is actually based on the TV series (it's so much better). There may be spoilers so watch out ;)

It was finished. It was finally over. No more fighting.

You can't know, oh no
you can't know

Hitomi tried not to cry as she looked up at Van with a tear running down her face. She had been avoiding eye contact with him.

how much I think about you, no
It's making my head spin

He walked over to her and wiped the tear away. He pulled her chin up to him. They stayed like this for a moment before he said, "We will see each other in the future. Our fates will intertwine once more."

Looking at you
and you are looking at me

and we both know what we want
hmmm, so close to giving in

She couldn't keep the tears in any longer. He pulled her close into an embrace while she cried on his shoulder. "I'll come back. I swear I will."

Feel so nice
oh yeah you feel so nice

wish I could spend the night
but I can't pay the price
oh no, no

"Afterschool. In two more years, I'll come back. It will just be two more years of high school and then I'll come back." She pushed away from him and forcefully wiped her face. She wanted to be strong, as hard as it was.

But I'm flying so high
high off the ground

"You don't have to do that." Hitomi looked up at Van and saw him starring at her.

when you're around
And I can feel your high

"W-what?" she took a few steps back. She could not believe it. Was he telling her he didn't want her to come back?

rocking me inside
it's too much to hide

"I mean… I know you have a life on the mystic moon… I know you belong on the mystic moon. You don't have to come back here. Well if- if you don't…"

I know, oh yes
I know that we can't
be together

Hitomi jumped into his arms once more. She kissed him flatly on the lips.

Shocked, Van rapped his arms around her waist.

but, I just like to dream
It's so strange
the way our paths have crossed

What was he saying? He would do anything to make her stay. He knew that the two years that she would be gone would be like a living hell.

how we were brought together
hmmm, it's written in the stars it seems

He held her so tight he thought she was going to break. She was so delicate.

Hitomi thought back so long ago, before she came to Gaia. Before she had met Van… was there a time when she didn't know Van? She couldn't picture a life without him.

Feel so nice
oh yeah you feel so nice

I'd love to spend the night
but I can't pay the price
oh no, no

"I'll come back. I promise."

Van could see tears in her eyes and pulled away for a few moments in order to brush them away.

Back to earth
where did you take me to

"Shhh, don't cry. It's like you said. We will meet again. You know there is no one else but you. Come back to me, and we can rebuild Fanelia together. I can't picture it with anybody else but you."

Tears were welling in Hitomi's eyes again. Why did it have to hurt so much to love?

"I want you to have something."

I know there's no such thing
As painless love

Hitomi pulled away for a few moments to pull a necklace over her head. "I want you to have this"

well it'll catch us up
and we can never win

Van was surprised to see her give him her pendant. "But… won't you need this to come back?"

But ohhh
I feel so alive

Hitomi met his eyes and he could see how hard she was trying to prove how strong she was.

"If it's meant to be, I will come back to you without the pendant."

ohhh
Just wanna hold you
hold you so tight

Van was very surprised. He held the pendant tightly in his palm and clenched his fist. He could feel tears sliding slowly down his cheek. He pulled her close for one final hug and she wrapped her arms quickly around his waist.

And I'm flying so high

He held his clenched fist high in the air and Hitomi held on to him as tightly as she could not wanting to leave him.

high off the ground
when you're around

A giant green pillar of light surrounded them. Hitomi was screaming inside her head. She didn't want to leave. Her hair and skirt were violently blowing in the wind the pillar of light was causing. She knew she had no choice.


And I can feel your high

Van looked up at Hitomi as she started to leave the ground.

touching me inside

"Van!" she yelled as she was lifted into the air. Quickly she stuck her hand out for him to grab.

and it's too much to hide

He held her hand for a few short moments while the scared look on her face slowly faded.

Flying so high…

She read his lips as she started flying higher and higher and farther away from the boy she loved. Her heart warmed as she swore to herself that she would be back.

"I love you…"

xD

After reading this over after I wrote it I thought it was a bit cheesey 

It was kind of sitting at the back of my mind for a while…

Alright, so I'm thinking of making this into an epilogue for a story on what happens when Hitomi returns to Gaia (is that how you spell it ?). Please review and tell me what you think!

P.S please tell me if you also thought that it had a bit too much repetition in it please? Thanks so much!!! PLEASE REVIEW???

Oh yes and buy the CD for Jem or look this song up or something because it is the prettiest song in the world. Thanks!
