This story is in the Point of view of Van and Hitomi. This is a V/H but not at first it's an A/H (which I think is a horrible idea) but it works for this story.
I'm having problem remember chapter numbers so don't worry and don't worry about my spelling as it will never get any better.
True Destiny
Chapter Twelve
**Van**
I didn't leave the windmill, I couldn't leave here alone again with the war and Zaibach soldiers after her. I decide to finish reading the book I started before I fell a sleep, as I sat by the window Merle jumped through it
"MERLE, one of these days I'm going to die from all the heart attacks you've given me"
"Have you been in here all morning?"
"Yes"
"Have you eaten any thing yet?"
"Not hungry"
"Oh Allen's having a hissy fit back at the castle because Hitomi hasn't returned from running yet"
"Because she's on level 3"
"Good have you told her yet" I just nodded and carried on reading, merle took that as a sign not to carry on question me on that matter.
"Lord Van I bought you these to eat"
"Merle is there any chance in this life time you will call me Van?"
"Nope never in a million years as I know how much you hate it so that's why I call you it"
"I hate you, you know, oh thanks for the food and cleaning my feathers up how many favours do I own you now"
"About 200 by now"
"Your the best little sister I could have"
"Finally you admit it that I'm the best"
"Whatever". Before I could say anything else she was back out the window, I looked at the food she had bought me for lunch, breakfast who know anymore there was enough for both me and Hitomi
'She is playing matchmaker again, I bet she's Folken little spy that how he gets his information on both me and Hitomi'
I looked again at the food wondering if I should take some to her, but as I thought about I could feel my heart hurting, and the guilt of ruin her relationship with Allen
'She must hate me right now'.
I tried to finish the book I was reading but all I could think of was the way she tasted and felt in my arms. After reading the whole seventeen pages on the Queen of the Draconians, I had learnt that Hitomi's powers would increase, she would be able to cast any spell she wants have all the wisdom or the Draconian council and be able to freeze people for five minutes and move things with her mind. I was scared for her as some of her powers she would be able to control quickly and call upon that when ever and others she wouldn't have so much control over and have to learn quickly.
Other books which I read last night said she would be able to absorb her book of shadows and any other one she touches, and if she is helped by an evil force she would lost her mind to the pain of these peoples thought and then her powers will kill her. A future I never wanted to happen or see, I decide to take her some food and tell her what I found out about her powers
'It also so you can see her Fanel'
I wished that Merle or Folken or even Allen could tell her this, but also I wanted to know where I stood now in our friendship or even if there was one. I climbed the ladder to the trap door gently pushing it open
"Hitomi" as I climb on to the levels floor so I could stand I saw Hitomi floating mid-air on her wings to land gracefully on the floor
"Well it seems you've mastered your wings" she just nodded not even turning to look at me,
"I bought you some food that Merle bought us and I have some information on you future powers"
"Oh"
'She really does hate me'
She kept sending me this hateful emotion at me, I know that it was me she hated and that was how it was going to be.
"Basically your powers are all connected to your mind and your will be able to freeze people"
"Van do you hate me?" I knew she could fell my surprise at the question
"No I could never hate you how could you think that?"
"Because I ruin our friendship"
"Never Hitomi never"
"Lord Van aye you in here?" Hitomi meet my eyes and smiled weakly melting her wings in to her back before answering Gaddess for me,
"Yes Gaddess we are" I noticed that her clothes weren't torn, Gaddess appeared from the trap door
"Hello, Lord Van this id from the king" he handed me a note from Dryden
+++There is a meeting about the up coming battle at three+++
'Great another meeting'
I looked up to meet her eyes once again,
"Go I be fine I read those books"
"Are you sure?"
"Van go"
"Lord Van I look after her" I turned to look at Gaddess
'He'll look after her'
"Take care of her Gaddess, Hitomi can we talk later?"
"We have to, I see you later".
Hitomi and Gaddess followed me down the ladder, I quickly showed Hitomi which books had the best information in and left her in Gaddess care. As I headed towards the castle I l looked over my shoulder at the window and saw her looking at me so I waved to her hoping she would wave back but nothing.
When I reached the castle, Dryden and Allen meet me at the door
"What mattering?"
"Zaibach soldiers have bee in seen in woods outside Palas, where is Hitomi?"
"At the windmill reading Gaddess is keep her safe for now" Allen gave me a look that alone could kill
"Well let's go to the war room but anything else happened". On the way I saw Merle talking to Folken
As I walked past them I looked in a mirror and noticed my eye wasn't black anymore
'Bingo that double crossing cat is his little spy and I know I heal fast but now that quick, I better Hitomi healed it early without knowing',
Inside the war room sat all the leaders of the countries, which are helping us against Zaibach. I let the war talks wash over me as I sat there with my eyes closed, after a number of different fights, we came to the decide we would hit Zaibach in two waves, the first being gymelefs and half the men on foot and five air ships and the second was the rest of the foot soldiers and airships to clear up, as both me and Allen were in the first wave we would have to leave a 4am tomorrow to reach the port near Zaibach in time.
'That only gives me tonight to talk to her'.
The meeting finished at six giving me six hours to find and talk to her, Merle and Folken, as I left the room my head started to spin
'What's happening?',
I could felt myself fall but couldn't stop myself, Dryden and Allen must have caught my arms as I could hear them calling my name.
The same three flashes of visions kept repeating themselves over and over again. One was Escaflowne and the Red gymelef fight but Dilandau was holding something human in it's hand, the second was the human form the in Escaflowne's hand as I saw myself crying over this person and the third was a graveyard covered in feather as my vision self was stand over a grave, I was shown three things until, I saw something I didn't want to know could happened. I was in Hitomi's room, she was sitting on her balcony, a shadow moved behind her but she didn't notice as she was spellbound to the book she was reading, the shadow moved quickly behind her covering her mouth with a cloth, she tried to use her powers but she could ass her eyes slowly covered asleep as the person threw her over they shoulder and jumped down to the ground and ran in to the woods. I could feel myself been slowly woken up as I opened my eyes I saw Dryden
"You scared us there Van"
"What happened?"
"You when in to a state like Hitomi does when she has a vision, you lucky we lost you a couple of time"
"What time is it" I started to worry that I would have enough time to talk to ever one I had to before I left
"Why?"
"I need to speak to Folken, Merle and Hitomi"
"I think Hitomi is outside reading or watching the stars one or the other, but the evil two are off somewhere plotting your fate"
"Who the evil two?"
"Merle and Folken as if they both joined Zaibach could you imagine the problem we would have?"
"Scary thought, can I go?"
"Yeah just be careful".
I wondered in the gardens until I came across Hitomi sitting under a tree looking up at the starts, I made my way up to her hoping she would tear my eyes out,
"Hi"
"Hello Van"
"Hitomi can we talk about this morning?"
"Of course" I sat next to her under the tree, her head rested on my shoulder I wanted to wrap my arms around her, but waited until I was sure she wanted my to
'Here goes nothing'
"What did you mean when you said you hated yourself?"
"I hated myself for not noticing the person who I truly care for and would die if anything happened to him and I hated myself for getting my emotions confused and choosing the wrong person"
"Hitomi I'm sorry if I ruined your relationship with Allen"
"You didn't, but I did when I told Allen that I was just infatuated with him and I said I couldn't marry him as I loved another and returned his ring, god Isobel would be upset with me for messing up"
"She wouldn't she ever got upset with anyone" I knew she could feel my worry
"He really threaten you did he"
"Yeah he did, he said I had to stay away from you or I would lost my family" I moved my right arm so it was resting on her waist,
"Hitomi after all this, where does it leave us?" she look down at the book she had placed on the floor that once she was reading before it grow very dark, I felt her built up courage
"It leaves us here hopefully" she handed me the book
+++Fanelia's History+++
"I want to see and help rebuilt Fanelia with you"
"Hitomi I don't know what to say"
'God you're a moron she want to be with you, why do I get stuck with the stupid brother'
"Van, I love you more then anything I considered you my soul mate your the only person who treats me as an equal and not some stupid teenage girl"
She moved so she was on my lap sending waves of electric and emotion through my body. For the first time I couldn't tell my feelings from hers,
"Hitomi I love you too, I have from the moment I meet you, when you didn't treat my like some royal just as myself and that one of the things I love about you, you treated ever one as equals" I gently kissed her on the forehead then her nose then on her lips I snaked both of my arms around her. I broke the kiss and just held her breathing in her smell so I would ever forget this moment. I told her about my vision as I told her I first felt surprise followed by worry and fear
"Van I had the same vision but I wasn't kidnapped in my"
"I want you to be very careful till I return as I don't want to lost you now that I got you"
"Van just promise me you'll come back alive and safe"
"I promise" I lift her left hand kissing it to seal my promise, no ring which made my happy
"Where do you leave?"
"Tomorrow early" I wanted to stay and keep her safe from been kidnapped, but I had to go as I had given my word to the council.
"Oh I forgot I got one of my new powers to day but it sometimes does work I haven't learnt how to call them properly yet, so if it does work not laugh"
"What my laugh at you when have I ever done that"
"I wonder" she took the book I had placed on the floor early and placed it in front of both of us,
"Now be quiet please" she looked at the book and slowly raised her hands as she did the book floated up before quickly slamming down again
"Your amazing" I gently kissed her forehead again
"I know, but I wish I could control it better and call upon it"
"Your learn give it time" as I said that something moved behind us making the brushes move but nothing came out
"Must have been a rabbit"
"Hitomi look like we have a couple of spies" I whisper in her ear I pointed to the balcony connect to Merle's room to see Folken and Merle waving at us,
"I'm going to kill them" she got up from my arms and often me her hand I took it and got up
"So how should I kill them"?
"Like I know, how about dying Folkens hair orange and shaving Merles off"
"You know as good as that is if I did that Escaflowne would be painted pink the next morning"
"That would be funny" she started to, yawn
"You tried"
"I know, I know well see you when you get back stay alive for me please" I kissed here gently before letting her disappear in to the castle, I removed my shirt letting my wings out and flew up to Merle's window to find them sitting at the table and chairs there
"I'm going to kill you two"
"Come on Lord Van it was so sweet and romantic"
"Merle you think everything is romantic"
"I know" I noticed Folken smile at me
"What and then did you start smiling"
"Since now for your information and you've changed since she been here, more open and you've broken you promise to mother about your wings"
"I know but I can't help it" I folded away my wings and put my shirt back on
"Your in love" Merle cried dancing around me like she does when high on cat nip
"Evil two can you do a favour for me"
"So Dryden told you our little nickname then"
"Yes"
"Yes of course we'll do a favour for you, but it's it Merles job to clean up your feathers"
"It isn't"
"Ok you two, will you both kept an eye on Hitomi when I'm gone as I had a vision of her been kidnapped"
"Lord Van she can handle it herself with her new powers" she said but before I could ask her how she knew about Hitomi's power Folken jumped in
"Merle why don't you check on Hitomi now you can go make fun of her or something" merle quickly disappeared in to her room and out the door leaving Folken and me alone on the balcony
"What did she mean by that Folken"
"Van, Hitomi lost control of one of her new powers"
"When did this happen"
"It happened about 7 ish when she heard you collapsed, I'll start from the beginning and the short version. But before that me and Merle weren't the only ones spying on you so was Allen",
'Oh god what's going to happened to her and me'
"Right on with the story"
"I guess just leave all the boring stuff like, I was reading a very boring book on something boring when"
"Ok, ok I get the idea of shorten version, any way Merle when and got her she came racing back, Allen tried to stop her seeing you, they go in to a fight about you, her powers must be linked to her emotion as she was able to throw Allen in to a wall knocking him out cold ands I guess that's when they broke up"
"Why didn't she tell me?"
But I do own my characters
