Note: Escaflowne is not owned by pretty lil' me. This is my first
Escaflowne story, so be crucial! I don't care if you have anything negative
to say, just say it when you review… Please review!! It inspires me to
write more. I'll write another chapter if I see reviews. I hope you will
enjoy this story of Escaflowne that I have been thinking about for a while.
Keep in mind that Hitomi is older than the actual age she was when she
went to Gaea, which I believe was 16 and that she lives by herself. Now,
on with the story!
Chapter 1:
The Girl Back In Gaea
"There's no doubt about it. It's her. The one they call Hitomi." There were two people dressed in black. Their face were being hidden by their large hoods that made a shadow over their face. They were watching Hitomi through a big mirror, showing all of Hitomi's world. Hitomi was at home, getting dressed for work…
"As you can see," Hitomi points to the graph with a line zigzagging towards the top. "following this plan will surely increase our financial status to an approximate 1.6 million dollars in the next 6 months." Hitomi looked around the room at her fellow colleagues. The one sitting directly across from where Hitomi was presenting looked at her calmly. He got up and looked at his subordinates.
"Anyone in favor of Kanzaki-san's idea, say I?" Everyone in unison agreed with Hitomi's proposal.
"There you have it. Kanzaki-san's idea will be the company's new plan. Good job Kanzaki-san. Meeting is adjourned." Everyone started to get up and talk on the way out. Some went up to Hitomi to congratulate her. Hitomi took in the praises and smiled at them…
"Tadaima!" ( I'm home ) Hitomi said when she arrived home, She took off her shoes next to the front door. Hitomi knew it was stupid of her to say Tadaima when she was living by herself with her cat, but it was a habit she couldn't get rid of. Hitomi lived in a small apartment. She was 23 years old and still not married. She didn't even have a boyfriend. Hitomi walked over to the answering machine and saw the red dot blinking. She pressed it to receive her messages.
"You have two new messages." A voice came on.
"Hi honey, it's you mom calling." Okaasan (mother) Hitomi thought as she started to take the cat food out for her grayish black cat, Alexial. "I'm just calling to see how things are at your neck of the woods. You know, I'm still waiting for you to return my calls. By the way, when am I going to get that call saying you've found the man of your dreams? You know your dad and I are still waiting for a grandson or daughter. Anyways, whenever you get the chance, give us a call. We miss you! By sweetie."
"Man of my dreams, huh?" Hitomi mumbled to herself before the next message came up.
"Hey Hitomi-chan! It's me, Yukari. I haven't spoken to you for such a long time! How are things with you? I hope your well. Right now, I'm on tour with Amano. I still can't believe it Hitomi. Oh, I miss you terribly. I wish you were here. Anyways, I gotta go. Me and Amano have to catch the next flight to France. Hope to hear from you soon! Ja ne!" ( See ya)
"End of messages."
Hitomi took the bottle she had pulled out from the refrigerator and sat on the couch. When she was 16, the man of her dreams was Amano. I thought I was in love with him, until I went to Gaea. That's when I fell in love with Allen. But it turned out, I wasn't in love with him either, Hitomi thought with confusion. At the end, it was Van I loved.
"Van." Hitomi whispered with acknowledgement. It's been a long time since I last saw him. An image of Van appeared into Hitomi's head. Well anyways, it turned out that Yukari was also in love with Amano. Since I found out I didn't love him and that Yukari did, I told her to tell him how she felt before he moved to England. It turned out that Amano loved her too. When me and Yukari graduated, she went to see Amano. After that, they got married and have been together ever since.
Hitomi took a sip of the bottled water and looked at it. I wonder how Van and the rest are doing Hitomi thought with sorrow. Suddenly, the guys in black clothing appeared from the shadows.
"Hitomi-sama, we have finally found you."
"Eh?" Hitomi said while she looked surprisingly at the unknown guests.
"It is time to come back." the men moved towards Hitomi, as she edged away from them.
"Come back where? Who are you?" One of the man lifted his hand into the air and the background turned black. "Nani?" (What?) Hitomi said in a panic.
"Your coming back to Gaea, of course." the mysterious men disappeared into shadows as Hitomi was just floating in the weird surrounding.
"Gaea? Kyaaaa…" Hitomi started to fall rapidly into the abyss of nothingness…
"Nee, nee-san? Daijoubu desu ka?" (Hey, Miss, are you alright?) A man with black hair and green eyes asked with concern to an unconscious Hitomi. Hitomi eyes fluttered and opened half way. She tried to focus her eyes to see who was talking to her. Van? Hitomi saw through the blur of her eyes. Hitomi picked up the upper part of her body and put her hand to her head she looked at the guy closely. No its not him, demo…( but). Hitomi moved closer to the guy. The man blushed when Hitomi moved her face closer to his.
"Ano?" (Um?) Hitomi noticed that the guy was embarrassed and moved away.
"Gomen. (sorry ) I thought you were someone else." Hitomi looked around the unknown territory.
"Koko wa?" (Where am I?) Hitomi had a feeling that she knew where she was but wasn't sure.
"This is Fanelia." The man stood up and looked around. Hitomi looked up at him.
There's no doubt about it, Hitomi thought surely. He has to be a descendant of Van. Hitomi finally realized that the guy was staring right back at her. Hitomi quickly turned away, diverting her eyes while blushing.
"Gomen." Hitomi turned around to look into the guy's beautifully green eyes.
"It's okay, because it seems I'm also guilty of staring at you too."
"Nanda sei?" ( What did you say?) Hitomi looked at him questioningly.
"Ah, nande mo nai!" ( It's nothing) the guy said as he laughed it off. I can't believe that I said that! The guy thought with embarrassment. "Anyways, where do you plan on going?" Hitomi looked away. The guy looked at her sternly, waiting for her reply. Hitomi looked back at him with doubt in her eyes.
"I'm not sure where I'm going. I'm not even sure why I'm here. I really don't know what to do." Tears started to form in her eyes, but Hitomi held them back. "Maybe…" Hitomi thought to herself before answering. "Can you take me to the kingdom of Fanelia?" Hitomi looked at him with determination in her eyes. The man looked at Hitomi for a while before he smiled.
"Hai, hai! I'll assist you in getting to the kingdom." The man walked towards Hitomi, who was apparently still on the ground. The man offered his hand to help Hitomi up.
"Shall we go?" Hitomi smiled before she accepted the hand of the almost look alike Van, the one Hitomi fell deeply in love with when she first appeared in Gaea…
