Escaflowne Among the clouds part 4

Well, while Van and Hitomi are off breaking up their relationship Zaibach decides to attack.

"Allen we can't find Van or Hitomi they've completly vanished from the castle!" Millerna yelled as the gymelifs prepared to go into the battle. "It can't be helped! We have to go without them." he yelled back. Millerna stared as the others marched off "We are fighting an important battle and the two people that we need most are gone."

Hitomi sat down on the beach, it was night by now and although the sky was clear her mind sure wasn't. She didn't really understand what had just happened, why did Van leave? It was almost like he was forcing himself to do so.... She'd probably never understand why unless he told her. But he won't tell me so "what am I supposed to do!" she yelled for no reason. "Ugh why does everything have to be so complicated" she whispered sadly. * * * Van wasn't exactly sure that what he was doing was right, cause it sure didn't feel very right but this would make it easier on both of them when she went back to the Mystic Moon- at least that's what he kept telling himself. "Just stop thinking about her she'll get over it." But will I? Not easily he thought and although his wings hurt he kept on flying.
