~~~~ Escaflowne : A Love Against All Odds ~~~~
~~ Chapter 5 : Wedding Bell Blues ~~
By : Angel_Wing
Later in the day,the castle of Fanelia is busy with preparations for the wedding
of their King,and future Queen.
Merle's tail is almost stepped on,for the 50th time today,and she growls under
her breath.
"Watch where ya step,will ya!"
She stalks off,looking about her surroundings.
Everyone is running about,making everything perfect as their King says to.
"Yeah,that's great!Hitomi will love it!"Van exclaims as he looks about the chamber where
they picked to be married.
Merle watches him from behind,her eyes shine with unshed tears,for her childhood friend.
Van turns and sees her standing there,"Oh,hi there Merle,what's up?"
"Oh,not much Lord Van,the usual."She pretends to be bored.
Hitomi runs up and Van evelopes her in his arms,and spins her around happily.
"Hi,Merle!"Hitomi says in a cheerful voice
"Hi,Hitomi."Merle says in a high-pitched voice.
Merle pretends to gasp at the time,"Oh,I gotta get going,see ya round!"
With that,she runs off,tears fall from her eyes as she does.
Hitomi watches the catgirl run off,"I was going to ask her if she wanted to be my Bridesmaid."
"She'll be back,knowing her."Van says and holds Hitomi close.
~*~
Merle runs into a small garden behind the castle,and hides in some rose bushes,and lets her tears fall
freely."Van-sama ... "She crise into her knees,that are drawn up to her chest.
A shadowed figure watches her from nearby,it's Jade's youma servent;Lizardon.
"Poor girl,why so sad?"He asks,walking up to her.
"My best friend is getting married to the girl from the Mystic Moon ... I worry about him."
Lizardon places a clawed hand on her shoulder,"He should be with you though,that's
what you think,right?"
Merle nods softly,looking at the creature.
"My master can make it come true,if you like?"
"Who is your master?"Merle asks,standing fast.
"He is Lord Jade,ruler of the Nether Realms,do you wish to meet him?"
Merle nods repeatedly,and Lizardon takes her hand and teleports them to his master's lair.
Lizardon kneels before Jade,"Master,here is a girl that may interest you."He guestures to
the catgirl beside him.
Jade stands,his baby pet dragon flys behind him.
"What is your name my dear?"Jade asks the scared catgirl.
"M...Merle,sir."
"Merle,such a beautiful name ..."Jade smiles and takes her chin in his hand,making her blush.
"You wish to be with Lord Van,I see?"
She nods.
"I'll make sure he's yours alone,if you do something for me ..."
"What is it?I'll do it!"Merle demands,her eyes wide.
Jade leans close to her ear,"Bring me the girl from the Mystic Moon ..."
Merle shivers,but nods."Good girl ..."He kisses her,placing dark energy into her body before pulling
away,her eyes now dark and emotionless.
"Yes,my master ..."Merle fades into the shadows.
~*~
Hitomi yawns softly,and looks at the two moons in the sky,"Where's Merle?"
She says with concern for her friend.
As if on cue,Merle walks up,"You called,Hitomi?"
"Merle!I'm so glad to see you,I have something to ask you!"
Merle smiles fakely,"What would that be?"
She snaps her fingers,summoning bonds around Hitomi's wrists and ankles.
"Merle?What's going on?!"She demands,before Merle seals her mouth tightly.
"You'll see!"Merle laughs and teleports them to Jade's Nether Realm.
~*~
"Master Jade,here's the girl."Merle guestures to the now struggling Hitomi.
"Well dome,Merle ..."Jade walks up to the bound Hitomi,and she gaps at him.
'That's him!From my visions!'She thinks,her eyes widen in fear as he lifts her gaze to his.
"Welcome to my Realm,Kanzaki-san."He laughs and strokes her cheek.
~*~
Van searches his castle for Hitomi,not finding a trace of her anywhere.
"Hitomi!Hitomi!Where are you?"He calls out,running down each hall,looking in every creavice
for his fiancee.
He stops and catches his breath,his chest tightens slightly,feeling her fear.
"Hitomi!What is it?Where are you?"
