I Give Myself to You
Chapter 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rated PG-13 for mild swearing
Please r/r
this is my first esca fic (though I love escaflowne, espcially dilandau, with all my heart), please be gentle with the reviews
Notes: I know those aren't the real names of the sorcerors, i come up with the stupidest names. oh well...and dilly hasn't realized that he used to be a girl before.
Stuff in *stuff* are thoughts
This is a love story with Dilandau falling in love with a girl (eventually). It's like Vegeta and Bulma, only not as fast and definitly more violent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dilandau rested his head on the side of his chair and grinned, his irises getting thinner and thinner as the tip of his sword penetrated into the dead man's chest, again and again. All of a sudden, he felt a movement coming from the door of his bed chambers.
"Dilandau-sama" came a voice from the shadows.
A voice he knew all too well.
"Shesta..." He replied, getting irritated. "Knock next time, if you know what's good for you..."
He withdrew his sword from the lifeless body and placed if back into the hilt hanging from his belt. Holding in a sigh, Dilandau stood up and faced the Dragonslayer. With a swift movement, he swung his hand across Shesta's face, causing him get a thin cut on his right cheek.
"Shesta, you bastard..."
*Gasp* "Master?" *Oh no, he thought, Dilandau's going through one of his moods again.*
Dilandau growled and brought out his sword, swinging wildly at the unarmed soldier. "Why weren't you there??!!!" He screamed as he swung one last time, barely missing his follower's hand! "You'll pay dearly for hurting me like this!" Images of a certain Fanelian king flashed in his mind and all of a sudden, he was surrounded by Van look-alikes.
"Hmmph hahaha, Dilandau, you're a lousy fighter..."
"You deserve to be cut!"
"Die you piece of shit!"
He screamed in terror and clutched his sword as all of them charged at him! "NOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Fear filled Shesta's senses as he felt Dilandau's muscles contract and go limp."Dilandau-sama!!! Master!!! Are you alright??!"
*Wow, master's never been this terrified before*...Shesta held his arms out as Dilandau fell and gasped, as if a thousand daggers had hit him.
"Shesta...Why didn't you protect me..." He last whispered as he fell unconscious.
The blood covered sword clanked as it slipped from Dilandau's hands and fell on the stone ground, the only sound to be heard in the large candle-lit room.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The shadows overlapped the old men as they gathered around a large metal machine.
"He will hold through." Said the eldest one.
Worried looks passed over the other sorcerous and they mumbled something in the old language. Finally, a deep silence overtook them and all of them stood nervously, looking at Shinyu, the eldest sorceror for reassurrence.
"Are you sure Shinyu? After all, there ARE some factors we didn't consider when Dilandau's fate was determinated..."
"Hmmm, and what factors were those Tilo?" Shinyu replied, his steely black eyes burning into his challenger's.
Tilo gasped and stepped back. He gulped. "Well...uh..um..For one, you didn't consider that Dilandau will ever get a wound that will damage one of the controllers in----"
"I, Tilo?" Rage erupted from his eyes. "Was it I who had chosen the weakling Serena Shezar for this operation? Was it I who performed the procedure???"
He sighed, the frown disappearing from his face. "Who the hell do you think you are, Tilo, to accuse ME of such atrocities..." He sighed again, and a cruel twisted smile formed on his lips. "Zaibach has no need of useless weaklings like you..."
A light appeared on his wrinkled up-turned palm, lighting the room with it's flash.
"No.....NOoo!!!! Please!!! Please forgive me Shinyu-sama! Pleeeeaasse...."
The scream echoed on as his shadow disappeared into thin air and a heavy dust filled the room.
A moment of silence followed and none of the others wished to move, to attract the attention of their leader.
"I realize those factors now," Shinyu turned around and looked sternly into the eyes of his fellow sorcerors.
"Fetch Dilandau."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
He opened his eyes wearily and groaned. Unconciensly, he rubbed his left cheek with the pad of his thumb and lifted himself up from the small table he had been sleeping on.
*Oh...where the hell am I?* He thought. *Somehow, I remember this place...I've been here before!...But when?*
He looked at the blood flowing freely from his chest. He gasped, finally acknowledging that that was HIS red blood on his hands. "SHESTA! MIGUEL!!!??? WHERE ARE YOU!" He screamed. His voice boomed in his mind but out loud, he realized that it was barely above a hoarse whisper.
--But then, he heard the sound of musty footsteps shuffling towards him. He turned around.
A million thoughts rushed through his mind as he saw three shadows approaching him, each holding a silver dagger in their hands. His eyes widened and the blood red irises grew smaller as the figures came closer.
Even through his pain and fatigue, Dilandau forced his lifetime of training and endurence to get up and draw his sword. As he reached for that trusty weapon that had protected him from danger all those years, it was gone!
"Dilandau" A plain voice finally broke the deadly silence.
Dilandau gulped silently and turned around just in time as metal chains clamped together and missed where his hands would have been! "NOOO!!!" he screamed as an unknown pain burned through his legs and he wrestled the sorcerous, who were to his surprise, quite strong. He tripped the first to come at him but was quickly held back by the second, who was still lurking in the shadows where Dilanau had ran to.
The sorceror who he had first tripped, tried to stab Dilandau in the chest but was quickly reprimanded by another. "Hitero, what are you trying to do!? Lord Shinyu wanted him back alive!"
Dilandau gasped with recognition to the name. *Folken's baka lackeys,* he thought. *Hmmp, I can take em'...* He twisted his face to a cruel smile as a plan formulated in his head and he took a large breath as he commenced his strategy.
Taking this moment of surprise to Hitero to his advantage, Dilandau freed himself from the grasp of the other sorceror who he recognized as Ferren, and took his dagger in his own bloody hands, staining the wooden handle.
*Not much of a weapon* He thought in disdain, *but it'll have to do.*
With full force, he charged at the last sorceror, Uoroa, and ducked swiftly when he tried to stab him striaght on. "STUPID BASTARD!"Dilandau screamed as he laughed insanely. "I'm a Dragonsalyer, do you really expect me to be cut by the likes of you!?" His red armor clanked as it came in contact with another metal and he turned around just in time to see Ferren's fist closing in.
With a low hmmmp from his throat, Dilandau twisted his head to the side and the strong punch landed on his first comendear, Uoroa, pushing them all back. He laughed insanely again and kicked Hitero on the legs as he charged at him from behind, leaving a deep mark that will probably last for a long time.
Facing the downed sorceror, Dilandau smiled sinisterly. "Dilandau..." Ferren gasped haorsely as the silver-heaired warrior walked towards him, sautering and arrogant. "Please! It wasn't my fault...it was their idea! I'll help you find Shinyu and kill him! Come on Dilandau-sama, we would make a great team!" Ferren forced up a bright smile and held his hand out to Dilandau.
Dilandau grinned. *Stupid baka, he'll get what he deserves...* He lifted his eyebrows and smiled openly, losing the bloodthristy look in his eyes "Ok then Ferren." He took Ferren's hand and pulled him up, noticing that he was acutally a quite young, only about 25 or 26. "Where is Shinyu...?"
Ferren laughed heartily and patted Dilandau on the back.
Dilandau almost wanted to kill him now but he knew that he needed this valuable information. *How dare he touch me! GRRRRR I'll just get the information from him first and then kill him! hahahahaha*
"Dilandau, we'll make a great team!" Ferren announced in a loud voice while he secretly signaled to the window. "You with your power, and me, with the smarts"
He sighed angrily and bided his patience. in a low growl, Dilandau replied, "WHERE IS SHINYU?"
Ferren laughed at Dilandau's crazed expression and narrowed his eyes, signalling again.
"Well Dilandau-sama," he smiled and opened his hand, gesturing to the window. "I couldn't possibly tell you, it seems we have company over!"
Dilandau gasped and cursed himself for being so stupid but it was too late! Windows cracked and crashed, doors barged open, and soon the entire room was surrounded with soldiers! He gulped and reached for Ferren as a hostage but his hands came up with thin air as he saw Ferren close the and slip out the room with the other sorcerors. *Fuck it!!! HE TRICKED ME!!! How could I have been so stupid!!??? Oh well, I'll get him back...*
He put on an expressionless face and charged at the group of soldiers infront of the window, blocking his escape. He saw them, each with the thirst to kill like he had, each wanted the fame of slaying Dilandau. *Well, I can't let them have that now, can I...*
The first soldiers charged at Dilandau were easily killed with a slit in the throat from Dilandau's silver dagger. With a crazed expression on his face now, Dilandau smelt the blood of his victims and sneered at the rest of the group who were backing up slowly.
"hahahah....Don't think you can kill me THAT easily!"
He charged at them with pure rage and skill as each soldier fell limp from the metal touch. But all of a sudden, Dilandau's leg spasmed in pain again! Dilandau fell and clutched the limb as soldiers crowded around him, each wanting to be his murderer.
With a quick movement, one soldier unsheathed his long sword and cut through the red metal armor and made a deep gash in his shoulder.
"NOOOOO!!!!! ARG!!" Dilandau screamed in pain. With his last ouce of strength, he pushed back the soldier and stabbed him with his dagger.
*I haev to get through this...* His mind thought numbly.
From his crouching position, Dilandau pushed himself up and ran towards the window.
*I have to get out of here!*
He didn't bother to look down as he flung him himself frmo the window sill, feeling airbprne and free.
*Hey wait a second, how high up am I?...*
Thump!
"aRG...I have to get away..." Dilandau swore to himself under his breath. he tried to move but the trmemdous pain that coursed through his body stopped him. Jagged pieces of metal cut into his flesh and he groaned.
All of a sudden, he heard screaming voices from afar. Dilandau cursed."Shit! They're here already!?"
"He's down there! He's down there!!" A woman's screeching voice blasted into the ear of the soldeir. "I saw him falling!!! From that tower!" She pointed upwards to the looming castle and screamed again. "He's right there!"
The soldiers pushed the woman away and ran towards the limp body.
Dilandau groaned and welcomed his death when out of nowhere, a hand reached towards him and grabbed his armor.
"Come on, we have to get you out of here!" Said the unknown voice.
"eh? Who are you..." Dilandau slurred, still trying to unblru his vision.
"Don't worry, you'll be all safe with me...."
He felt his mind go numb again and tried to hold on to the voice as he drifted off to a deep sleep...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Five weeks later...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey are you okay!?"
Dilandau blinked again, bringing up his hands to rub his eyes. *Where am I??* he pondered, *and who's this disgusting girl!?*
"Come on, sit up and drink this medicine, it helps you get better faster."
"Urrg, why am I here..."
He sat up from the bed and brushed back his fair hair. He noticed that it was clean and there was no blood on his clothes either. *Wait a minute! This girl took of my armor!* Snarling, Dilandau tried to get up and reached for his sword again but was interrupted by the girl with the ebony black hair.
"Hey hey, don't try to get up! Stupid baka, you're still sick!" She said quietly.
Dilandau slumped down, his rage erupting. "HOW DARE YOU COMMAND ME!! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?!" He stood up and threw off the bedsheets.
He stepped forward and realized that his dagger was gone too. *damn it*
He formed a cruel smile agian and muttered. "then I'll kill you with my bare---"
Bursting into a fit of laughter, the girl bent down and picked up a loose towel frmo the groudn and threw it at Dilandau. "Then you better get your pants on first!"
Dilandau looked down and saw nothing but his tight underwear, decorated with little red flames. The deep blush on his face almost matched his eyes as he scuttled back into the bed and wrapped the sheets around his body.
Scowling, he muttered, "Who the hell is this girl..."
