~~~~ Escaflowne : A Love Against All Odds ~~~~
~~ Chapter 3 : Starlight Love ~~
By : Angel_Wing
The light from the Mystic Moon sheds a soft glow on all around.
Making a couple look angelic in it's light,as they stand in each others arms.
They are Hitomi Kanzaki and Van Fanel,whom are now engaged to be married.
Hitomi looks into Van's eyes,that glitter in the gentle moonlight,"I love you,Van."
She whispers,moving a lock of hair away from his eyes.
"I love you too,Hitomi,my love."He takes her hand,and kisses it softly,his eyes
not leaving hers.
"We should get back,it's getting late."Hitomi says,squeezing his hand gently.
Van nods and walks over to his horse,that is a pure white color,and lifts Hitomi onto
it's back,and getting on himself,his arms go around her waist protectively.
She smiles and pats the horses' neck gently,making him whinney gently.
Van nudges the horse,and it takes of into a slow,steady gallop,
the light of the Mystic Moon lights a path back to the castle,just for them.
Hitomi leans against Van's chest slightly,feeling his strong heartbeat against her back.
Van smiles and holds her closer as they reach the castle,that they will one day rule the kingdom
together in.
"We're home,m'lady."He laughs and hops off the horse,holding his arms out to her.
Hitomi laughs and hops off the horse,and into his arms,accidently making them fall to the dew covered
grass.
Van looks into her eyes,as they are so close together,"Silly girl."
Hitomi blushes at how close they are,but smiles and kisses the tip of his nose playfully,before
getting up,Van following her lead.
He takes hold of his horses' reigns and takes him to the stables for the night.
After he finishes,Van playfully picks Hitomi up into his arms,and walks into the castle like that,
making her blush deeply.
"Van!What are you doing?"
"Just carrying my bride-to-be,why do you ask?"he says in a regal tone.
She just blushes more and giggles,her arms go around his neck as he carries her.
Van walks up the stairs with her in his arms,up to the bed chambers,and sets her on
her feet,before her room,his arms still around her.
"I guess this is goodnight then."Hitomi says as she looks into his eyes.
"Yeah,for now.Sleep well,my love."Van leans down and kisses her goodnight,before
going to his room.
Hitomi watches him,then goes into her room,closing the door,and leaning against it dreamily.
"I can't believe it,I'll be married soon!"She squeels in excitement,and walks to her bed,
and flopping onto it,sighing and looking at her ring.
"...and I'll be his Queen,can I handle that?"She asks herself as she stands and goes to change
for bed.
~*~
Van lays on his bed,smiling at the ceiling,"I'm getting married!Hear that mother?You have a
daughter-in-law!"He says to the heavens,hoping his mother hears him.
A breeze flows in through the window,as if telling him she heard.
He stands and spins like an excited child."Oh yeah!!"He cries out,and hears a few complaints
of others in the hallway,telling him to shut-up,basically.A sweatdrop appears over his head as
he scratches his head in embarassment."Gomen,minna!"
Van leans against the wall,his mind focused on his future wife and Queen,
"Hitomi,I'll make you the happiest bride ... I swear it!"
He vows to himself and looks out the window,looking at the Mystic Moon.
"If only I could make myself sleepy now."He laughs and lays on his bed again,and is asleep before
long,dreaming of his future.
~*~
Hitomi sits on her bed,in her nightgown,looking at the Mystic Moon from the window beside
her bed.She smiles and sighs,laying down,getting ready to go to sleep.
A series of images flash through her mind,of a man with long green hair,and dark eyes,
he smirks and she sits up fast,eyes wide.
"N...nani?Was that ... a vision?"She gasps slightly,and lays back down,pushing the thoughts
away,and falls asleep,she'll think it over in the morning.
