~~~~ Escaflowne : A Love Against All Odds ~~~~
~~ Chapter 4 : Visions of a Possible Future ~~
By : Angel_Wing
In Van's dreams,he sees his future self with Hitomi,and a small bundle in her arms.
He looks into the blanket,and sees a small,newborn,that looks just like him.
"Is he ... my son?"He asks in wonder as the baby grasps his finger,and giggles.
"He sure is,and he's saying hello to his daddy."Hitomi smiles at her husband and son.
Van's eyes fill with tears,tears of joy and love,"Here,you can hold him."Hitomi gently places
the baby in Van's arms.
"Hello there."He whispers to the child,that is watching him with wide,brown eyes.
Hitomi smiles at them lovingly.
A man steps up behind Hitomi,and holds her close,his eyes dark.
"Is that the child?"He asks in his deep voice.
"Yes,your son ..."Hitomi says in a warped voice,smirking.
Van looks at them,"N...nani?You just said he's my son?!"
The child floats out of Van's arms,and into the other man's,his long hair flows about him in the
cold winds.
"The child of Mokushiroku ..."He breaks out into laughter,dark energy flows around him.
~*~
Van wakes with a start,sweating and breathing hard.
"What the hell was that?!"He runs a hand through his hair as he swings his long legs over the edge
of his bed.
"Some dream ..."Van says to himself,as he readies himself for the day.
~*~
For once,Hitomi is up early herself,the vision she had can't get out of her mind.
"Who is that man?"She says aloud as she walks out of her room,and into the hall,over-looking
the main chambers of the castle from where she stands.
Van walks out of his room,and sees Hitomi looking down at the main chambers,of their
future castle."Oi,up early I see?"He smiles and hugs her from behind.
Hitomi leans into his arms,sighing deeply,"Van,did you have any strange dreams last night?"
"Yeah,I did,it was the strangest one I've had in awhile."
She turns in his arms,"Please,tell me about it."
He explains the dream to her,and her eyes widen at the description of the man,he's the same as
the man in her vision!
"I had a vision of that same man,Van!I wish I knew what this meant!"Hitomi cries softly into his chest
as he holds her close to him.
Van holds his shaking fiancee close,his face stern.
'Whoever he is,I'll protect you from him,Hitomi.'He thinks and rubs her back gently,
to soothe her.
~*~
The same man,watches them from within a crystal ball,with a small dragon in his lap.
"So ... she is the one ... perfect."He smirks and snaps his fingers,summoning a youma.
"You there,keep an eye on her today."
The youma bows,"Yes,Lord Jade ..."With that said,it fades into the darkness.
Jade laughs slightly,"If she is the one,Gaea will be mine ..."

Konnichiwa minna!

If you have seen the Utena series,Jade looks like Saionji,
if not,picture Nephlite with green hair.
Ja for now,arigatou gozaimasu for the support!
