The Name You Whispered

Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne, or anything from it. Blah, blah, blah. Read on!

This is a strange story, which I wrote about two years ago. I've re written better, and hope you enjoy!

Tell me Hitomi. Tell me why you did it? Why did you have to and do it? What did your final words mean? And why didn't you call them for me? I'm so sorry this happened. Yet you never told me why.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * My sword came down to meet Dilandau's. Dilandau swirled around, bringing his sword down once again. Hitomi watched by the shadows, shaking. The cliff was high, the wind roaring through my ears. But I was going to kill him. I was going to kill Dilandau. Dilandau had that mad gleam in his eyes. I would rescue Hitomi. Hitomi hadn't said a word. She was over there, pale as a ghost, whispering my name. I let out a wild scream and brought my sword down once again. Dilandau dodged it and cut my hand. I didn't feel the pain. I was too angry. Dilandau let out a shriek as he striked again. I swirled my sword upwards and his sword broke in two. It landed in pieces next to him and Dilandau fell down. I brought my sword up high, getting ready to remove his head from his neck. I swung it downwards and there was a scream. It all happened so quickly. When I opened my eyes, Dilandau was still alive. Hitomi had a long slash down her back. She was shivering. I screamed her name, Dilandau backing away, in fear. I saw tears down his face. I rolled her over and asked her to speak.

"Is Dilandau OK?" she whispered.

She gave one final shake and was dead. I looked up from her lifeless body to Dilandau who was crying now, tears rolling down his face. I looked back down at her.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * Now I sit here, looking at your picture. It has been a year since then. I wonder why you did what you did, as I lay here in bed. Why did you save him and not me? Why did you do what you did? Did you do it to hurt me? I now know the name you whispered that day.

It was the name of him.

So, what did you think? Something to ponder isn't it? Not really, but the least you can do is review!

I love Dilandau, just to let you know. He's my favorite character, but I had to it from Van's POV, or else I wouldn't have a fic.
