At your Requiem
By Anime Rose
Hi, Hi, Hi!
This is my first Escaflowne Fanfic! Yay, yay, yay! Just a prior warning: This chapter is kind of sad, well it made me sad and I knew what I was going to write! I'm sorry to all you guys! :) For you who read my other Fanfic for ccs (well the first chapter! Honestly I will get round to writing another one) you will know I like to turn away from the crowd!
The song Van is singing is one of my favourite tunes at the mo! I recommend you to download it if you want to get the full impact of what is happening! Or generally just download it as it rules! Its: At your funeral By: Saves the day (its extra good if you like alternative!)
Well after all that is said and done! Please R&R I would really really love to see what you think coz if you think it's a loud of crap then I wont bother posting any more.
Just a little clue, the rest of the story will be about the past and towards the end what happens in the future! :) Big huggles and friendship love!
Disclaimer: Blah blah blah! I don't own Escaflowne or any of the characters associated with it! You will know when I have added my own character! The storyline is my own and if you copy it I will be seriously pissed!!
Love

As he watched the car drive into the distance his heart followed it. As the thing he loved was inside.
He wouldn't cry, he had to be strong for her, as that is what he had promised her, as that was the last wish she had asked of him.
Some how even though she was gone he could still feel her with him, he could still hear her laugh, and he could feel the warmth inside him, which he got every time she smiled at him.
Why was it that once you finally realised things it would escape from you? Why was it that after he finally found his love for her she was gone just like the seasons but not even staying long enough to let him enjoy the new sensation of the new time of year and life.
He regretted not telling her sooner.
But for now he smiled, for the brief time he had spent with her he would remember for the rest of his life.
He clung onto the pendant she had placed into his possession just to make sure he would never forget her. That's what had scared her the most he knew her just like the back of his hand.
He glanced back into the distance where the car drove into the sunset carrying her to her final goodbye.
He closed his eyes and imagined her face at the fact that all her friends and family would be in the same room.
He got into his car to drive to the church, the one, which he knew, she loved. The one were the sun always shone upon those who were resting in their eternal sleep.
It wasn't far away just a few blocks away. It was based in the centre of the town. But through all the noise outside. You could somehow just hear the gentle hum of the birds that nested there.
He glanced at the streets as he passed them, some holding memories of the past where his life had been so different.
No one apart from them had known what dangers lurked in the alleys and these were not the ones you heard about on the news.
He pulled his car over to the sidewalk so it could join all the other cars, which had been parked there.
He looked over to her coffin as her family carried it into the church. He followed it being the first to enter the church after it to take his place at the front with her family. Some people who were her friends showed a look of sympathy as he passed them, knowing him all to well and that today he wouldn't want to talk.
As he took his seat next to her mother she turned around to face him and spoke.
'Thank you, Thank you for making her so happy in her life Van' was the simple words she spoke to him before she turned to her other side to comfort her son.
Van looked at her for a second longer and smiled at her kind words, it was the least he could do after all the happiness she had brought into his life.
As the ceremony started you could hear the silent cries around the church mourning the loss of someone who had shone happiness to everyone she touched.
Her mother got up to give a speech about her daughter; this touched him, as everything she had said was true. She had sometimes been stubborn and hard to deal with, but always it was because she was looking out for the safety and happiness of others.
Her family had asked him to do a speech. He didn't like speech's they felt so planned.
He had decided to sing her a song, he wrote her this song after he had arrived home from the hospital and everything in it was true. He knew some of the lyrics would shock people but to her family they wouldn't mind as they all knew what she was like.
She was a rock chick and she associated with everything to do with that.
But this just added to her character. To her warmth.
As her mother took a seat, he left his to walk up to the front. Silence filled the church.
As he reached the top he sat down and picked up his guitar.
'There's not much I can say about her which you don't know, we all know how her smile would brighten up even the darkest day and how her eyes shone like stars every time this smile appeared on her face. I can't say much else about her without repeating, which has already been said, so I wrote this song. It's really all about today and her life, and death. Every word is about the girl I know and some things may shock you but please just remember it all added to the girl we all loved' as he said his short introduction he cleared his throat and started to strum away at his guitar.
'This song will become the anthem of your underground.
You're two floors down getting high in the back room.
If I flooded out your house, do you think you'd make it out?
Or would you burn up before the water filled your lungs?
And at your funeral I will sing the requiem.
I'd offer you my hand but it would hurt too much to watch you die.
And you can bet when we mourn the death of you that night
That they'll lay me on the dinner table and I will be the pig
With the apple in my mouth, the food that celebrates your end.
And at your funeral I will sing the requiem.
I'd offer you my hand, it would hurt too much to watch you die.'
As he finished his song the tears fell upon his face, and as he glanced up through blurry eyes at the picture in front him.
He could see the tears either falling or flooding the eyes of every person in the room.
Some one started to clap and soon the whole of the church were.
He got up and stood there until they were quite again.
'Thank you everyone, but I would like to thank the person I love for showing me what it is like to have someone to care for'
He paused and closed his eyes and no louder than a whisper he said the final words.
'Thank you Hitomi'.
