Vision of Escaflowne...Epilogue: Part 2
Last time, Yukari got mad at Hitomi for neglecting their friendship due to her constant thoughts of Van. Suddenly, Hitomi gets sent back to Gaia through the beam of light and Yukari comes along with her!
"Hitomi! Wait up!" I ran as fast as I could, but she was only a faint speck in the distance. Hitomi was running fast, even on Earth I had never seen her sprint like she was now. 'Great, I'm stuck on an alien planet and the only person I know has just ran off, what could be worse?' I asked myself. 'Well, I'd better stay right here until she remembers that I came along with her. Hmph, THAT'll be a while.' I sighed. 'What if I see a dragon? Would they be like the one I saw that day? Hitomi told me about those...' I felt my blood pressure rising. I started to panick as a wave of fear came over me. I dared not make a sound lest I disturb a sleeping dragon. 'Oh Hitomi, come back, please come back!' I silently choked. All of a sudden, something grabbed my abdomen. I screamed and kicked as its tight grip held me in place. "Get off! Get the heck off!" I screeched blindly as I was lifted into the air. "Hitomi?" I heard a voice say. Still kicking, I opened my eyes and saw that what was holding me in place were two arms. I turned my head to see the face of a human. I pushed him off in alarm and fell to the ground. "You're...Hitomi, right?" The boy regarded me carefully. I breathed a sigh of relief as I studied the guy. His red sleeveless shirt was ruffling softly in the wind as his gloved hand rested gently on the hilt of his sword, but not in a relaxed manner. He studied me with suspicion in his fiery eyes but in them there was a deep longing for something. His jet-black hair shagged a little over them. "Is Hitomi here?" he asked with a little impatience, I saw the grip on his sword tighten and quickly gathered myself. "Yes." I replied, instantly regretting it. "Are you from the Zaibach empire?" I asked haughtily. I regretted saying that too. The boy looked at me funnily and said "No. Where is she?" "Don't kill me, I don't know where she is, I mean, if she is here at all." I blurted. "Look," he seemed exasperated "I'm not going to kill you, but you must tell me where she is." he looked like he was close to tears. "You're Van aren't you?" I suddenly brightened. 'So this is prince charming himself' I thought 'well, he is sorta cute. Not as cute as Amano though'. "Yes! Now please, tell me where she is!" he choked. "Oh yes, um, I think she was looking for you. Once we arrived, she started running towards the castle. Uh, if its not too much trouble, can I come with you? I mean, there might be dragons out here and you know, you have a sword and all." I blushed but he didn't seem to notice. Then, out of nowhere, he sprouted these magnificent wings. I watched in awe as he carried me into the air, leaving behind a few dazzling white feathers.

I held onto Van, trying to gasp for air as he sped through the sky. I could hear him softly calling out Hitomi's name and each time his grip would tighten. 'Great, even if he does fly slow enough for me to breath, I wouldn't have any room for air." I thought sardonically. Finally, I saw the castle gates and there was Hitomi, standing there, trying to get through the guards. "Hitomi!" We both cried in unison. Van put me down none to gently and ran towards her. "Hitomi!" He eagerly shouted. "Van!" I felt a final happiness in Hitomi's voice and grinned. I watched them with satisfaction as they embraced, holding each other tightly. As they gazed into each other's eyes, Van said, "I thought I'd never see you again." "Well, here we are now." Hitomi smiled through her tears and I felt some welling up my eyes too. After a moment, one of the guards coughed and led them in. Another, invited me inside. I nodded and followed.

I waited in the parlour for Hitomi. It had been hours, but I was too nervous to say anything. Hunger knawed at my stomach and the chair I was sitting on had long become uncomfortable. Suddenly, two girls were led into the parlour. They were chatting and laughing quietly and stopped to take notice of me. "Why hello, you must be one of Lady Hitomi's friends." the blonde one said. "I'm Princess Millerna, third daughter of the King of Austeria. And this is Lady Serena." She raised a swift hand towards the other silver haired girl. "I'm, uh, Yukari." I said nervously. I grimaced as I heard a slight gurgle come out of my stomach. They both laughed kindly as I blushed again. "You poor thing, you must have been waiting for hours." said Serena," Don't worry, as soon as my brother Allen arrives, dinner will be served. Ah, here he comes now." Serena laughed as she ran towards a tall blonde in the distance and threw her arms around him. "Allen, I want you to meet Yukari of the Mystic Moon." He walked over towards me and smiled. I found myself staring into the eyes of Amano Sempai.
Okies, I hope I created some sort of suspense for y'all there. On the other hand, I haven't started the third chapter, and it's been about a month and a half...
Another thing, I don't Escaflowne, or Van and I probably never will. But if I could choose, it would have to be Van:).
