Angel Of Affection [Part 2]
 An Escaflowne Fan Fic!

Hitomi felt deeply depressed, as she approached the chamber where the Escaflowne was kept, she looked upon it. Then, she sat upon a bench in front of the massive guymelif *can't spell*. She put her head in her hands, as she started to cry in a somewhat outburst of sadness.
"Hitomi?"
Hitomi turned around, and saw Allen walking towards her.
"Yes, Allen?" she asked, wiping the tears from her eyes. Her sweet and innocent tears were not unnoticed by the knight.
"Hitomi, are you okay?" Allen asked, sitting beside her, his expression was warm and gentle. "What is the matter, you can tell me."
"Its nothing... nothing." said Hitomi sobbing lightly.
"C'mon, you can tell me," Allen encouraged with a soft whisper.
"I'd rather not talk about it, Allen." Hitomi announced with a quiet sniffle.
"Hitomi, you look so pale. I'm worried, so please tell me what's the matter."
And with that, Hitomi explained the situation, while Allen listened attentively.

Mean While

Outside, in the garden, Van was practising his sword skills, with a determined and confused mind. He was most angered with himself, and understood the fact he had basically denied the true feelings he felt for Hitomi. He loved her so much, and could not bare to keep these feelings soothed, but his sword kept him dormant.
He let himself sit upon the floor, and he stuck his sword into the grass. "Why... why are you so stupid, Van Fanel. The one you love... you've lost her. You've lost her now." he said silently. "Why, am I so stupid!" He grabbed his sword and threw it into a tree, where it pieced through the tree in quick and dangerous notion, the bark split.
"Oh Hitomi..." he sighed. "I love you so..."

Later that Day

It was the banquet, for success over destroying many guymelifs of the enemy. Hitomi was dressed in a beautiful dress, it was of a pink shade, with attractive white lace in certain ends, she walked into the ballroom with somewhat welcoming in the crowd. She was positively one of the most stunning of maidens at the occasion.
Allen seemed also quite astounded by her resplendence looks, and he felt an urge to take a step further, in her somewhat vulnerable state of heartbreak.
"Why, Hitomi, how glowingly positive you look," he said, with a flattering tone, and he flirted a bit too much in her presence. She was taken aback by his act, and tried to keep her cool, in order to show no resentment of what had happened earlier.

As Van entered the room, he was dressed in his normal clothing, his sword by his side. He held Merle's hand as she showed fondness over her best friend, and he made sure he did not give off any jealousy of the matter while Allen was showing somewhat affection towards the girl. She was truly amazing in appearance, but he did not care for that, while a certain knight was doing his wooing of the heart of Hitomi Kanzaki's.

The room was well lit, and many chandeliers were positively illuminating with attractive rays of light. Merle beamed with pleasure as she noticed the amount of food on the table.

"Hitomi, care to join me outside?" Allen asked with a sly anticipation of the answer.
"Um... okay, Allen." said Hitomi in slight bewilderment.
"Thank you, my lady." Allen said, chuckling with a twinkle in his eye.
"What is he up to?" though Van as he walked past them.
