Hitomi sighed, "Im such an idiot. Van always is there for me but..do I really deserve to be saved?" She sat down against a tree and wrapped her arms around her knees.
She closed her eyes and whimpered faintly.
Van could here small sobbing noises so he walked over to the tree where Hitomi was. "Hitomi..?" Hitomi looked startled and jumped a lil. "Van..you shouldnt of come out here, all I am is trouble." Van's eyes softned a bit and knelt down by her.
"Come on Hitomi your not trouble and you know that." Hitomi looked at him with sad eyes. Van looked back in awe. "Please Hitomi?" Van held out his hand to her. Then came a booming sound from the camp.
"Its Zaibach!!" screamed Merle. "Teo you idiot you were suppose to stand watch!" Gaddes yelled. "Hey I need a break once in awhile!" Teo argued. "Nevermind that now lets get Van and Hitomi and get the hell out of here." Allen said as he pushed the two men apart.
"Van! Hitomi! Lets get out of here!"
Van grabbed Hitomis hand and pulled her along with him as he ran. They entered the camp. Van let go of Hitomis hand and jumped on Escaflowne, opening the hatch. He hopped in and was lowered into the guymelef. The chest closed and he held out his machine hand to everyone.
"Hop on!" He yelled through Escaflownes mask. Merle scampered up on his shoulder as Millerna and Allen sat in the hand. Teo and Gaddes crawled onto the machines hand too. Hitomi just stood there. She thought to herself, "I can stop them with my wishes...I can do it.."
"Hitomi come on lets go!" Yelled Van. Hitomi shook her head and stepped back. "No! You guys go ahead I have a plan!" Van nervously stared at her through the mask. "No Hitomi Im not leaving you behind!" Van argued. "Dont worry about me Van its my turn to save you guys now get going!" Van didnt know what to do.
He couldnt just leave her there. What if she got hurt? "Hitomi get the hell on now!!" Hitomi shook her head again, "VAN GO!!" She screamed. Vans eyes widened a bit. Allen looked up at Van. "Van we can trust her now lets go." Van gritted his teeth. He then nodded and ran through the woods leaving Hitomi behind.
Hitomi smiled in awe as she watched them leave. She turned around to face the guymelefs that had entered the small path. She stood in front of the crack and raised her hand. "Stop!" The people in the guymelefs just laughed, "Hitomi Kanzaki. We've been looking for you, again..Now lets take you back to Lord Dilandau." Hitomi shook her head.
"No you are not going any farther." She clasped her hands together and closed her eyes. She wished, prayed with all her might that the guymelefs would be sent back to where they came from.
A bright light descended on the guymelefs and warped them out of sight. Hitomi opened her eyes then and they were gone. She smiled. "I did it.." She stood alone in the forest and turned towards where Van went, walking then she started running.
Van stopped Escaflowne and turned back, he saw the bright light and he saw the big guymelefs warp away. He sighed in relief and so did everyone else. The chest of escaflowne opened and he hopped out, standing on the doc he searched desperately around for Hitomi. The others got off and called her name.
"Im coming!" a voice yelled through the dark forest. "Hitomi!" Van yelled with a tone of happiness in his voice. He jumped down and ran into the woods. Hitomi ran into him and he fell off guard a bit and stood strongly upwards. Hitomi looked up at him and hugged him. Van hugged back then looked at her seriously. "Hitomi dont ever do that." Hitomi frowned. "I thought it was the right thing to do Van and plus you have saved me tons of times it was my turn and acutally I feel pretty good about myself right now."
Van smirked. "Okay" He spat out. Allen stood by Millerna and they smiled in awe at them, as Merle stood along side grinning. Teo and Gaddes were still siting on Escaflownes hand just watching them.

The guymelefs fell onto the ground where Dilandau's fortress was. They got out of there melefs and stood on the deck. "What the hell?" They all said. "Where..what..damn that girl!" One of them said with anger.
"Lord Dilandau will be most angery.." Another said.
