Chapter 9
When Hitomi woke up she felt someone was next to her and sighed, loving the new feeling. Hitomi didn't know it but Van was awake, enjoying every moment of bliss.
'What would it be like to wake up like this every morning'? his mind questioned.
"Van! Sweety open up I know you can't wait to see me" Eram called
"Shit" Van, starteling Hitomi.
"I thought you were asleep" Hitomi said as she rose from the bed and yawned. A few moments later they emerged from the room.
"Oh Van how was your night" Eram asked in a soft voice
"I never slept better" he replied and glanced over to Hitomi.
"So my love where are we going" Eram persued
"We aren't going anywhere. Me and Hitomi however are"
"WHAT!" she exclaimed
"We wouldn't want someone as delicate as you to get hurt! He is looking out for you safety" Hitomi lied, surpressing a laugh as they opened the door and began to walk down the road.
But before Eram was out of sight she yelled
"Come back to me my love"!
"Your not my love" He called back and they ran all they way back to Escaflowne.
"What a Bitch" Hitomi laughed as Van hoped into Escaflowne and picked her up "Good can you think of a more clueless person"?
"No"
"So where are we headed"?
"Austuria, Fanellia was likelly to be completly destroyed, we'll need help from other countries to defeat them" Van told her sadly
"It's okay Van we'll get revenge" Hitomi reassured him. Then there was silence the entire trip.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hum the profecy"? Dornkirk mused "The princess shall met the dragon and evetually fall in love. They will be assisted by many, and will arrive at the Mystique Valley and all will be made clear to them" He read out from an ancient book. "That girl will be the death of me"
"Lord we have suceeded in attacking Fanellia. But the dragon and girl have escaped. They are heading to Austuria" Folken said.
"Good. We must seperate them as soon as possible before the girl and the dragon's bond grow stronger"!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was mid-day by the time they arrived at the Austurian palace, they landed in the court yard so alot of people would have seen them. Van and Hitomi jumped off of Escaflowne.
"Greetings Van Fanel, king of all Fanellia. King Aston wishes to see you" a Austurian guard walked up to them and addresed Van.
"Very well" Van awnsered and he and Hitomi followed him.
Hitomi had never seen inside the palace before. Even though Aaron, her guardian was well established in the high order of things, Hitomi had neve been inside the palace walls. They were brightly colored tapestries and markings. They were lead into a throne room to see a fat man sitting on the throne, prentending to be sick and weak (A.N remember when Allan went to meet the king upon Palac's first appearence. There in the room he talked with that Bastard king Aston).
"King Fanel! I heard about the horrible attack that happened on your country. I regreat to say I am sick and got out of bed to see you. I wish for my youngest daughter, the beautiful Millerna to you wed you. It would be a benifit for both our countries" He said pointing to the beautiful woman standing beside him. She had long flowing blond hair and soft violt eyes. Millerna Aston was truelly beauiful.
"I to am sorry, for I am already engaged to the newly discovered princess of Tenreo" Van said and king Aston nearly chocked
"WHAT! They found her"
"Yes, may I present Hitomi Kanzaki" Van responded and moved aside so everyone could see the heir to the Tenreo throne.
Hitomi was completly shocked to say the least. But she didn't let it show.
"Oh. She's the princess of Tenreo! That scrawny little twig!" an advisor stepped in
"Now Midan. Even though she doesn't have half a beautiful figure as Millerna... I suppose she isn't half bad" Astoon replied as Midan stood up and walked over and started making a circle around her like a shark stalking its prey.
"Now father. Stop that leave the princess alone" Millerna burst in "Hitomi!" she said addressing the girl "Follow me! You'll be staying here awhile so you should borrow one of my dresses" Millerna was definetly a cheerful person.
"A Dress"? Hitomi replied
"Yes, now come on Father and Van have some things to discuss" She awnsered and took Hitomi's hand and lead her out.
Millerna dragged Hitomi to a beautiful room. It was royal blue with a four poster bed (A.N It's the room Hitomi stayed in when she was captured in by geko's).
"Here I'll go get you one of my dresses. In that room there's a bath so you should get one" Millerna told her as she left. Hitomi walked into the room and admirred the huge bath tub. She turned on the taps and let the water come out.
"Wow" She finally mumbeled as she took off her clothes and stepped into the full bath tub of water. "Hum" she mumbeled but soon her mind wanderd to that strange blond man. "That letter. I'll read it later" After half an hour she stepped out and grabbed a fluffy towl and wrapped it around her body and walked out of the bathroom.
"Well It's about time. Here is a dress that will have you fiancé drooling over you" Millerna sat up from Hitomi's bed and walked over, carrying with her a beautiful pink dress (A.N You know the one that Millerna gave her to wear as to not have Allan's diginty called into question).
"Wow that's such a beautiful dress, are you sure you don't mind"? Hitmomi questioned
"Not at all! Your going to be the future queen of Fanellia, are you not? You have to look presentable"
"Hum. Well I don't wear dresses" Hitomi said as she took the dress out of Millerna's hand and examind it, then brought it behind a screen to put it on. Millerna looked at her when she finally came out
"Wow that dress looks great" She commented as they left the room.
Later that night king Aston, Miden, Millerna, Eries, Dryden, Hitomi, Van were all at the table drinking vino (wine). Millerna and Dryden were busy looking at each other while Eries was trying to get her fiancé's attention (A.N I know I said Dryden and Eries were married, but I ment by the time Millerna would be married, Dryden and Eries would already be married, Also Dryden and Millerna are in love) but was failing miserably.
"So King Fanel, this is you fiancé, hum. She's quit the beauty" Miden commented. Scheming how to get her married to his other son.
"Yes she is" Van replied, hoping he wasn't embarrasing her too much. Hitomi closed her eyes and took in the beautiful flute she heard playing as she sipped her wine. She let her mind wander and began to hear voices
'Why do I have to marry Eries when I'm in love with Millerna!' she heard the voice of Dryden.
'I love Dryden so much. He and my sister have nothing in common. I wish Father would understand! Speaking of love, Van and Hitomi seem pretty deep, I wonder if they've slept together yet? Me and Dryden did a week ago -Sigh- I have to marry my one true love' Millerna could be heard
'No way can I be hearing other peoples thoughts! I am NOT going crazy'! Hitomi screamed at herself, and also was blushing like crazy because of what Millerna had said or thought.
'Why is she blushing like crazy? For someone who is royal she sure doesn't act like it' Again Hitomi heard Millerna but was overcome by a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She quickly excused herself and ran out of the room, all the way to her's. She rushed over to the toilt and emptied the contents of her stomach.
"What's wrong with me? Must be the wine. I never had alcohol before" She concluded as she heard a knock
"Come in? Hitomi called and Millerna entered
"Oh I just wanted to check up on you. You looked really pale. I heard something. Is everything alright" she inquired
"I just got sick that's all" Hitomi smilled 'Please! Please don't see I'm lying' her mind begged.
"Alright, but If you get sick again tell me okay"?
"Sure" Hitomi lied and walked away "Oh Millerna If you love Dryden tell your father" and left Millerna to wonder. Hopefully by the time Hitomi was back she'd be gone.
She began to wonder all around the halls.
"Wow these are beautiful paintings" She admired one of an angel.
"Yes they are" Van said walking up behind her.
"Oh Van I didn't see you" she confessed "Well I gatta go" Hitomi ran to her room, more than ready for a good night sleep. As soon as her head hit the pillow she was fast asleep.
"Hum"? Hitomi mumbeled as she lazily opened her eyes and pulled herself out of bead. Steadying herself on the spindels (A.N that's what my brother calls them!) Immediatly she noticed the sun had almost risen and she ran to the balcony to see it.
"I love sunsets" she said as she leaned on the rail and closed her eyes, breathing in the scent on the city. "Oh Aaron" Hitomi felt cold tears slowly begin to trickle down her face. She cried even more at the though of her old sword master/gaurdian. It got worse when she thought of Jessica she was just 15, her age. She didn't even hear a person enter her room and wrap his arms around her sholdures and gently rock her. As the crying slowed and the pain went down to a moderate ache and her senses came back to her. Instantly she jerked away to look at the person. "How long have you been there"
"Long enough, Hitomi what's wrong"? When Hitomi looked into those fiery eyes, she couldn't help but tell the truth.
"Van... I used to live around here, with a man named Aaron White. One day when I was ten a group of Zaibach guymelofs came and killed him. They were looking for me" She tried to wipe her tears away.
"I'm sorry Hitomi, did I embarass you yesterday" Hitomi looked at Van puzzeled but then remembered
"Don't worry about it! I know you only said we were engaged so you wouldn't have to marry. Besides you'll proboly meet someone on this wild adventure, fall in love and you wont even have to be bethrothed" Hitomi hid her sadness with a big smile and walked away to change into her normal clothes behind the screen and left. When she was gone Van said outloud
"Maybe I've already met someone" and turned around and ran to catch up with Hitomi.
"When will be leaving"? she asked once Van had caught up
"Sunset, It will be easier" he awnsered as they walked down the hall to the dining room. They walked in to see only Millerna up and awake, reading a book on medicen while eating a slice of toast.
"Oh Hitomi, Van your awake! Sit down and eat something" Milierna raised her head and snapped her fingers and a servent came rushing over and layed two plates filled with food. Hitomi and Van quickly sat down and began to eat. When they were done Hitomi asked Millerna what the book she was reading.
"Oh this! I'm learning to become a doctor. Father and Eries don't appreciate it much though" She repled, saddened.
"Well I think it's wonderful"! Hitomi reassureed the youngest princess of Austuria.
The day was filled with meetings and talking with officials. More than once Hitomi could have sworn she had seen Charles running around the halls. It was almost dark out so they would be leaving soon.
"Hitomi be careful some of my advisors who had survived are here, including Charles" Van warned Hitomi. They were passing by the throne room when they heard two voices of king Aston and a unknown being. Hitomi put her ear to the door to listen and Van did like-wise.
"If you were to hand over Fanellia's king, the princess of Tenreo and their guymelof Escaflowne we'll spair you country. Also in this treaty we will use you harbour. And we the Zaibach Empire will protect you" Folken told the king. 'This is too easy. Such a fool'
"Your planning to attack Freid. Fine if it's for the future of my country, yes I agree" Aston replied, ignorring the look of discust his daughter Millerna was giving him. "We will capture the dragon when he tries to leave" he continued
'This is for you own good, Van' Folken thought as he turned and walked away. He opened the door to see two people listening intentilly.
"Um we were just..." Hitomi stuttered, her mind racing
"Princess, Van"! Folken said 'God this might ruin everything'
"Van RUN" Hitomi yelled and readied herself to dart down the hallway as soon as Van was ready.
"I never run away from my enemy" Van replied, his voice as cold as steel, getting into a fighting stance and taking out his sword. Folken smilled and uncovered his metal arm, he grabbed Van's sholdure and stuck in a needle. Instantly his eyes grew heavy and he fell to the ground.
Hitomi saw Van fall to the ground. He ran to his defence but was met by a blow to the head from behind.
"That was easy" Dilndau smirked as he walked over to the brown haired girl and picked her up as Folken picked Van up.
"Let's get out of here. The Vione is waiting" he said in a monotone voice, hiding his excitement as he and his red eyed companion left the city of Plas to the giant floating fortress, Vione.
"Ow my head" Van mumbeled as he opened his eyes to be greated by the back of the Zaibach stratagiest. Van jumped up and immediatly thought of Hitomi.
"Who are you!" he demabded, and looked at his sword on the desk and ran for it. "How about leading me to my guymelof now!" (A.N He thought Hitomi got away)
"You think it's that easy? You can not esape from this floating fortress my brother" Folked awnserd.
"What do you meen brother"? 'What the frigging hell is he talking about'? he thought as Folken turned around and took of his cloak. Then he concintrated on bring out his wings as a pair of beautiful wings emerged from his back
"Van, mother and father were killed... They wanted me alive. Dornkirk plans on taking over all of Gaea for the good of mankind. Van I am your brother. Join us and help the Zaibach Empire" Folken tried to perswade his younger brother, but to his unliking his brother wasn't easily perswaded.
"What! No way Folken, I'll never help you, innocent people will die"!
"So? If it's for Gaea isn't it worth it"?
"You can't just decide who deserves to live and who doesn't! It's not Zaibach's to decide"!
"Oh well. Fortunatly we have other means of perswading you" He said and the door opened and an unconcious Hitomi was shoved in.
"What are you planning on doing with her! She has nothing to do with this" Van yelled
"Oh but on the contrairy little brother, she had everything to do with it. You see" he picked up a book and smiled because at the moment his little brother was so helpless. "In this book there is a profecy that will take place very soon. It's the 'Profecy of the Dragon' you remember it mother used to tell it to you all the time. Well guess what! You'r the dragon and Hitomi's the one you are destined for" Folken smirked. He knew if everything happened to soon, the profecy wouldn't come true.
Van was shocked, it was true his mother had told him many times 'The Profecy of the Dragon' but he had never taken it seriously and now to be told he was destined to marry the long lost princess of Tenreo was unbeleavable! Van glanced over to Hitomi and saw her groan snd stand up shakilly
"Whe... Where am I"?
"Zaibaach floating fortress my dea-" he startred but the Vione was hit bt something and the door flew open as smoke started to pour in and a Dragon Slayer (Guymil) ran in
"Lord Folken! Were being attacked" he bluted out
"What! Must be those Freedom Fighters. Well don't just stand there go and kill them" Folken bellowed and turned around to finish his conersation with Van, but the room was empty...
HAHAHAHAHA Cliffhanger I know you'll hate be but oh well. Tell me what you thought of this a REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! I know I changed some of Hitomi's powers but It was needed for her to read minds! I love to hear other peoples opinions, really! But when you say mean spirited thing you get mean things said back to you. Such in the case of Jackal sign Blue. I didn't want to make enemies by wrighting! Well I'm glad some people are enjoying this fic. And I will not stop wrighting just beacuse one person hates it! Loads of people are really enjoying this so I will continue. I'm sorry if Jackal doesn't like it, but he/she shouldn't read it, and hopefully he'll/she'll enjoy my next fic, but I'll put more effort in that one it's just because my exams are coming up and my mom is breathing down my neck so it's not going to be the greatest fic!
Syanora! Arigatou!

"What! Must be those Freedom Fighters. Well don't just stand there go and kill them" Folken bellowed and turned around to finish his conersation with Van, but the room was empty...
HAHAHAHAHA Cliffhanger I know you'll hate be but oh well. Tell me what you thought of this a REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! I know I changed some of Hitomi's powers but It was needed for her to read minds! I love to hear other peoples opinions, really! But when you say mean spirited thing you get mean things said back to you. Such in the case of Jackal sign Blue. I didn't want to make enemies by wrighting! Well I'm glad some people are enjoying this fic. And I will not stop wrighting just beacuse one person hates it! Loads of people are really enjoying this so I will continue. I'm sorry if Jackal doesn't like it, but he/she shouldn't read it, and hopefully he'll/she'll enjoy my next fic, but I'll put more effort in that one it's just because my exams are coming up and my mom is breathing down my neck so it's not going to be the greatest fic!
Syanora! Arigatou!
