Hitomi and Van- Fateful Destiny
Chapter 5: Return of the Visions
Somewhere in a evil place in
Gaea....
Zaibach may be
gone, but there were still others interested in the legendary Escaflowne.
"Kalade, what's the news?"
The new leader in evil, Takita asked.
"We have bad news... it seems
that the bitch from the Mystic Moon is back." Kalade answered.
"Shit, she's back? Damnit, when
that little bastard was around with Van Fanel she was the downfall of
Zaibach...we're going to have to eliminate her." Takita cursed.
"But master, why not just
destroy the king of Fanelia, Van Fanel?" Kalade asked.
"Are you second guessing
me?!" Takita had a nasty temper, and anyone who dared to oppose her
judgment would be punished.
"N-no your evilness... just out
of curiosity..." Kalade stuttered.
"Curiosity killed the cat!
Anyway, for you question; why not kill Van Fanel? It's quite simple...BECAUSE HE
HAS THE ESCAFLOWNE AND PLUS THE FACT HE'S PRACTICALLY INVINCIBLE!!!!"
Takita roared at her incompetent servant. 'Dumbass,' she added quietly.
Takita was using a machine similar to the fate alteration machine Dornkirk had
used, to spy on the peaceful country of Fanelia, watching Van and Hitomi.
"It would be foolish to try to
attack Van... no one's been able to bring him down... wait! Oh gross! I did not
need to see that!" Takita spat in disgust as she saw Hitomi and Van
kissing.
"That is just plain
gross...hey. She looks rather important to the King... Perhaps I can use her to
kill them both. Hold her hostage, ransoming Escaflowne for her safe return. He
hands over Escaflowne, I kill them both anyway. I'm brilliant!" Takita evilly
snickered.
~****~
In Fanelia...
"Oh Van, I
love you so much. I don't know how I managed to survive three whole months
without seeing you, or hearing your voice." Hitomi sighed.
"I don't know how I survived
without you for a day, my love." Van whispered.
"Mmm..." Hitomi mumbled
into his shoulder. They were both sleeping... almost. They had been warned not
to DO anything by the advisors, who just didn't seem to understand that they had
morals. (Unlike a certain Knight of Caeli!) And again, against their wishes,
Hitomi was sleeping in the King's bedchambers, but that couldn't stop them from
holding each other in the night.
Just then, Hitomi felt the familiar
sensation, finding it hard to breathe, her vision going dark. "No not
now...not a vision!" Hitomi desperately thought. The images in the
vision were all fuzzy, so she couldn't exactly see everything clearly. She
saw... Dilandau?! No no... that's not Dilandau... that's just some crazy, psycho
girl like Dilandau. And could it be... TWO Escaflowne's? That can't be
right... the Ispano's only make one of everything...but before Hitomi could
closely look at the giant Machine suits, she was brought back to reality,
gasping for breath.
"Hitomi, what's wrong?"
Van sat up, holding a shaking Hitomi in his arms.
"I just had another
vision..." Hitomi whispered. Van was shocked to hear this, usually when she
got Visions, they were for bad reasons...
"A vision? But why now? Van was
bewildered. "What did you see?" He asked softly.
"I- I saw a girl... she's like
Dilandau, and... two Escaflowne's. That's all I could see." Hitomi mumbled.
Van's mind froze when he heard
Hitomi. Could he have heard wrong? "Two Escaflowne's? That's
impossible!" Van thought.
"Two Escaflowne's? Are you sure
Hitomi?" Van asked her again, to make sure he hadn't heard the wrong thing.
"I'm pretty sure there were
two... oh Van. What's going to happen?" Hitomi was getting a little scared,
for she knew for a fact that she only got visions when terrible things were
about to happen.
"Honestly Hitomi, I don't know.
But whatever it is, we'll get through it together. We really should get some
sleep, we have a busy month of planning ahead of us." Van whispered,
kissing her cheek lightly, before falling asleep.
~*A/N:
Okee.... that was Chapter 5! What did you people think? The new evil sounds
really corny, huh? Don't worry it gets better. I think I'll write Chapter 6 now,
since I have time.... well. I think that's about it!
