~~~~ Escaflowne : A Love Against All Odds ~~~~
~~ Chapter 8 : Hitomi VS Van!? ~~
By : Angel_Wing
Van's body is engulfed in the white light,and it nearly blinds everyone.
As it fades,a sword of the purest light floats infront of him,similar to Hitomi's.
"What's this?"He asks himself as he takes it in his hand.
Hitomi laughs,"You think that can defeat me?"
Van looks at her,his eyes narrow,"I don't want to fight you,Hitomi."
"That's too bad,now fight me!"She lunges foreward,and slashes across his stomach,
drawing blood.
Van gasps and nearly falls,but he stands strong,"Please,Hitomi,wake up!"
"I'm wide awake,all I see is a dork with a wimpy weapon!"
She clashes her sword with his,sparks fly between the two weapons.
"Hitomi,it's me,Van,wake up!!"He demands,and pushes his sword against hers.
"Van who?Van the lousy King of Fanelia?"She laughs and black wings extend from her back.
His eyes widen,"Wings?!How'd she get wings?"
Jade laughs,"Since she is under my control,she will have demon wngs like me!"
Wings extend from Jade's back as well.
Van growls and a surge of his love for Hitomi flows through him,and he slashes straight through
her sword,shattering it in to many peices.
Hitomi cries out as white light engulfs her body,and she is suspended in the air.
"Hitomi!!!"Van cries and his wings expand hard,scattering feathers about.
Hitomi's hair shortens to normal,and the dress fades away,and a gown of pure white
forms on her body,before she slumps into Van's arms.
"Hitomi!"He holds her close,his tears fall onto her pendant,making it glow a moment.
Van brushes her bangs away from her forehead softly.
The pieces of the sword turn white and fade into Hitomi's body,
her life energy slowly returns to her,reviving her.
"Mmmm ..."Hitomi moans and opens her eyes slowly,to find Van looking down at her.
"Van!Oh,Van,I'm so glad to see you!"She flings her arms around him,holding him tightly.
He holds her close,thanking the Gods she came back to him.
Merle runs over and hugs them,tears form in her eyes.
Van then let's Merle hold Hitomi,and he stands,glaring at Jade.
"I will make you pay,for what you've done!"
"Oh really?How do you plan on it?"Jade smirks and fires a blast of dark power at him,sending him
into the wall.
"Van!!!!"Hitomi screams,seeing him spit a bit of blood up.
Jade walks up to van,and forces him to look at him,
"Look here,you little bastard,your kingdom will be mine!You saved Hitomi too late,
I've used her powers to encase the world of Gaea in my grasp!"
~*~
Outside the Realm,clouds gather rapidly,black lightning crashes about the world.
Slowly,everything becomes shrouded in darkness.
~*~
Van growls and gathers his power,and blasts Jade in the stomach with it,sending him back
a few feet.
Jade growls at the gash Van left in his stomach.
"Die,Van Fanel!!!"Jade shouts and throws a blade of dark power at Van.
Hitomi gets up and runs to Van,placing her body before his,taking the blade for him.
Her dress slowly becomes red with her blood as she sinks to her knees.
"HITOMI!!!!!"Van catches her before she falls to the floor.
She looks up at him,placing her hand over his cheek,"Van ... you ... alright?"
"I'm fine,but why did you do that?"
"I wanted ... to protect you ... like you do me ..."She says weakly,more of her blood soaks
the dress,turning it a deep red.
"I won't let you die,not now Hitomi!"He cries,his tears fall onto her wound,mixing with
the blood there.
"Van ... save Gaea ... please,save ..."Hitomi whispers before closing her eyes.
"Hitomi!No,Hitomi wake up!Hang on!"Van turns to Merle.
"Take her and get out of here!"
Merle does'nt argue,and takes Hitomi in her ams and runs to a transport,and it's beam
teleports them out of the Realm.
Van turns to Jade,"Now,to finish you for good!"
~Note from Angel_Wing;
