Escaflowne Aong the clouds part 8..... (8 parts? Can ya believe it?)

Weellllll life's just getting more and more depressing for everyone. (and when's Hitomi gonna get her memory back? Don't ask me this story is out of control!)
* * *

Life was becoming really new, and sort of exciting for Hitomi. She didn't remember much so each time someone introduced themselves it was very interesting. It wasn't coming back to her, her memory, but when certain things happened there was like a falmiliar feeling she got,as if she had done it before. Zaibach had been pretty quiet so everyone figured they'd been hurt preettttyyy badly. But, who could tell? Not that the gymelif's were perfectly fine, mechanics were constantly running around getting materials and such. It was a hot day so Hitomi was sitting by the shore of the lake pn a log, under a tree. It was the coolest spot she could find, probably the coolest in the whole country.....or almost.
* * *
Van had nothing to do. Sure he could help repair Escaflowne.....but he felt kinda restless so he figured he should walk around. He walked for about 5 minutes when he went by a tree and saw Hitomi sitting on a log. He wanted to go sit beside her but...... Hitomi turned her head and smiled. "Your Van right?" ".....yes." "Oh! do you want to sit here?" -No..not at all...well maybe it'll be ok since she doesn't remember....- "Alright."
He sat down beside her. Merle who had been hiding in the tree the whole time pouted. -There not even taaaallllkkiiinnnggg! Maybe I can get the ball rolling....this is gonna be fun!- She snicked (quietly) in a very cat-like way and climbed down the side of the tree not facing them. She than charged right against the log throwing Van and Hitomi off........and into the lake. Yahhhhhhhhhh!!! *ploosh* Merle tried to sneak away but Van saw her, "Don't you move Merle!" He reached up and grabbed her tail "yeow!" and pulled her into the water. Hitomi started laughing " Ha ha Merle that was funny! and mean! But now I'm not hot anymore!Aligatou!" Van smiled ( ^0.0^ ..... ) "Wah!" ~_~||| "Whats wrong Mere?" said Hitomi. "My fur's gettin all wet. Oh well hey! we should swim for awhile now!!! Right lord Van?" "....." "please Van?" said Hitomi. -Hmmm...I thought it was nice when she laughed maybe....the times I'm around her don't always have to be sad, even after.....all thats happened.- " Oh fine."
* * *
Hitomi was in a good mood. The swim that afternoon was really fun. Now the sun was setting and dinner had gone by quickly. Everybody semed relieved that the heat was going away, -night in refreshing- she thought. She was in her room drying her damp hair with a towel. -Gaea isn't so bad. If Zaibach left us alone,or if we defeated them, ......maybe I'd stay here. It's too bad our worlds have to be so far apart. I know I'd miss everyone a lot, when I go back. But, she sighed and leaned her head out the window. Earth or the mystic moon, was in the sky..... waiting.........I'll always miss someplace no matter where I am. I sorta miss my world........but right now, on a night like tonight, I'm content to stay here.She smiled. Because there are people who care about me here.-
* * *
Sometime later she fell asleep at the window.A little bit after that it started raining as it usually does after really hot days. Van knocked on her door. No answer *sigh*-Why do I have to check on her, Millerna was too busy but it's not like she's in danger from bad memories so why does Millerna bother every night?-. Still no answer. Van debated going in a girls room in the middle of the night, or not following Millerna's orders and getting yelled at.- ..........Ok fine. I can say that Millerna told me to if I get hassled anyway.- He opened the door a crack and peered in. -Oh yeah this looks innocent, sheesh. I can't see anything anyway.- He quickly looked down the hallway, -good nobodys here-opened the door, and silently shut it. -I never want to do anything like this ever again, under these circumstances, in fear of being called a pervert.- ( myuu starts laughing to herself ^-0-^ .....) He saw Hitomi leaning against the window. -Shes asleep?! How can she sleep in that position?? What is she doing?!!! The windows open and it's raining outside! That doesn't even wake her up? Millerna did mention she noticed that if Hitomi was having a dream she wouldn't wake up for anything........I should.... get her away..... from........ there. Sheesh snap out of it! Don't let yourself get carried away. - He blinked and stepped over to the window. He shook her slightly and loudly whispered "WAKE UP!" Hitomi moaned in her sleep. Van sweatdropped -aug this is torture of the worst kind!- He put his arms around her waist and pulled her back from the window. Lotsa memories popped into his head. -Don't think about it don't you dare think about it.- He mentally chanted that while he pulled her over to her bed, put the covers over her and tried to pull away........Not working. Hitomi was holding onto his arm. He tried to pull it away again but it was no use. Hitomi just stirred in her sleep and hung on tighter. He stopped talking to himself and looked at her for a long time.
* * * *
After a few hours she relaxed her grip and he pulled his arm away. He snapped out of sleepiness and looked at her again. "Your so strange but I wouldn't want it any other way. I don't know what else to say.....I've been really confused lately." Hitomi opened her eyes slowly and stared at him. What the.........ey- Van stuck his hand over her mouth with a very very scared expression on his face. Don't scream.... please! It's not my fault! ......you... you were asleep at the window, it was raining I tried to wake you up but you wouldn't so I had to drag you over to your bed, really!" He uncovered her mouth. "Why were you in my room anyway?!" Millerna sent me to check up on you because your memory loss might cause you to have problems like confusion at night." "And you think your helping to make me less confused?!" she whispered loudly. " Well you hung on to my arm and wouldn't let go! I've been sitting here for hours!!!" "Like I could control what I do in my sleep!" *Sigghh* "Well now that you'll be ok I'm leaving" Van said rubbing his eyes. "I'm supposed to be aware in battles and sleep helps." She looked at him thoughtfully. "Confused about what?" "Hmm?" he mumbled. "Oh nevermind. I'll ask ya in the morning when your awake." she said sighing. "yeah see you. I'd better get out of here before everyone wakes up." He walked out and shut the door. Hitomi watched him leave, she felt sort of restless...like she was missing something. -whatever, I'll figure it out in the morning when I wake up completely.- Hitomi mentally shrugged off the whole ordeal and went back to sleep.

///////In the moonlight I felt your heart. Quivering like a bowstrings bows. In the moons pure light,you looked at me. Nobody knows your heart.......
