Thank you ALL for reading! I'm so glad everyone likes it.
Dilandau stared out the window, his eyes looking straight at the Mystic Moon.
Maybe she did come here because of Folken and not because of me.
Dilandau cursed Folken's name to himself. That fool.going to the Mystic Moon and kissing Lina just so she could gain his trust.
"What about the trust I put into her!?" Dilandau cried to no one.
He hated trusting people. Just hated it. So he wouldn't anymore. He wouldn't trust anyone. Dilandau stood up and took the glove that Lina had the match too.
"My trust is gone in you, Lina.and Folken." He muttered.
He threw the glove into the fire which he watched everynight. Dilandau watched as the glove turned and shriveled up, just the way he liked it.
"Lina." He said and turned away from the fire.
Maybe I shouldn't had told him?
Folken couldn't sleep. Of course he couldn't. He had kissed and told Dilandau, of all people. He had never seen Dilandau like after he told him that. Dilandau had stood up, the mad look in his eye and he turned to Folken.
"You KISSED her?" he shrieked.
Folken nodded. The scary thing was, all Dilandau did was leave and go to his room. Folken's headache was raging. He was so stupid to tell them that. Folken couldn't sleep, so he got changed and left his room, walking down the steps.
"Lord Folken, how can we help you?"
"I need to see Van."
"Van is sleeping sir."
"Then I'll wake him up." Folken said and walked down the steps.
Lina ate anything she could find on the Crusade and slumped down on the couch of a room.
Hitomi laughed, "Boy, you really like Gaean food, don't you?"
Lina mustered a nod and looked out the window, toying with her bracelet.
"So tell me, how did a girl like you get stuck with Dilandau?" Hitomi asked her.
Lina turned to Hitomi and sat down next to her, "It's a rather long story. What about yours?"
"Long too."
So the two girls started to share their stories, Allen and some blond hair girl walking in also.
"You were the one in Dilandau's guymelif?" Allen asked, gasping.
The girl, now Lina knew as Millerna, gasped also, "Isn't.that.a man thing to do? I mean, I can't remember a female guymelif pilot."
Allen shushed her quickly and turned back to Lina, "You almost defeated Escaflowne!"
Hitomi spoke, "We knew it couldn't be Dilandau for lots of reasons."
"Yeah," Millerna said, "He wasn't screaming or using his flamethrower that much."
"But a girl?" Allen said, in shock.
"So Van is there?" Hitomi asked, noticing Lina's blushing.
"Yes."
"We need to rescue him! You know the Vione's location, so we can get him." Allen cried, standing up.
"It would be better for Hitomi's health if she didn't look for it." Millerna agreed.
Lina looked at the bracelet with the water charm she had put on and the fire one Dilandau had put on.
"You will help us?" Allen asked.
Lina made a mumbling noise.
"You won't? Why?" cried Millerna.
Hitomi saw the look on Lina's face.
She doesn't want to rat out Dilandau and Folken. She's confused between them.
"We shouldn't force her into anything." Said Hitomi.
"But Hitomi, this is to get back Van." Allen stressed.
Hitomi looked down at the floor.
"Van." She whispered.
Van.how I miss you.
Lina looked at her oddly and then a weird expression came over her face.
"I'll.help." she agreed to Hitomi.
Hitomi looked up, "Why?" she whispered.
Lina didn't hear her, or just didn't answer, "I'll help you find Van.if.if you let me leave anytime I wish to Zaichbach." Lina said.
"Wha."
"Why?" asked Millerna.
"Please, I'll help you.just."
"We promise." Hitomi butted in and Lina smiled.
"Thank you, Hitomi." Lina whispered.
Hitomi smiled in return.
"Why did you wake me up?" Van demanded to know.
Folken sat on a bed opposite of him, "Van, my brother, I have to talk to you."
"At midnight?!"
Folken looked at Van, anger etched upon his face, "It's about-"
"I told you before and I told you again! I'm not joining Zaibach!" Van screamed.
Folken put a metal finger up to his lips.
"It isn't about that." Folken said.
"Then what?" Van asked, sitting down once again.
"It's about girls."
Van let out a choked laugh, "Girls?" he laughed.
Folken was not amused and told Van that.
"I.in all my years of knowing you.I never heard of.you speak about girls!" and Van was off laughing again.
"Never mind." Folken said, realizing what a stupid idea it was.
Van stood up and blocked him, "No.no.sorry.tell me."
Van took a deep breath and nodded.
"Why girls?"
"Van.I don't know if you have an.experience with women.but."
"What?" Van pressed, wondering what it was.
"Have you.ever.loved someone."
"Folken, are you OK? You've never spoken like a love song before."
Van was puzzled by his brother's behavior. He was trying to talk to him like a normal brother, not trying to make him turn on his side.
Maybe it's all a trap.
"What do you do.if you love someone.and you tricked them into loving you?"
Van was puzzled by the question and repeated it, "I'm afraid I don't understand, Folken."
"Let's say.you meet this girl.and she.strikes new feelings in you.feelings you hate.And you know she loves someone else. But to do your duties you trick her into her thinking she loves you. The other guy is mad and already depressed enough, but now the one girl who can give him happiness is in love with the first guy.the guy who tricked her.and.What can I do to fix this, Van?!" Folken cried, holding his head in his hands.
Van was shocked. Folken wanted his help?
"So.let me.get this straight.if I can," Van admited, "There was this girl who you fell in love with. But she was in love with someone else. But to do your duties you made her think she doesn't love the other guy, but you. And the other guy is really fragile so.this girl who is the only one to give the guy happiness loves you.and."
"Yes." Folken whispered.
Folken looked at Van, a little freaked out about all this. Folken stood up.
"I'm sorry. I never should have-"
"I suppose you can tell the girl what you had to do and that it was all a trick. Maybe she'll understand and realize she loves the other guy and they will end up together." Van said quickly.
Folken turned to Van, "What do you do if the other guy has already given up hope?"
Van looked puzzled, "The only one who could give it back was the girl, since she gave him the hope in the first place."
Folken sat back down and looked at Van.
"Who is she?" Van asked.
Folken shuffled in his seat, "Um."
Van's lips twitched as he smiled a slow smile, "Who could win the heart of Folken?"
Folken looked at the floor.
Van spoke, "Don't tell me who she is then, then who is the guy?"
Folken ruffled his hand through his hair, "I can't tell you the guy. I think you met the girl before though."
Van's mind looked like he was remembering something, "Lina?"
Folken nodded, "Yes. Her."
"Where is she?" Van asked.
"She left Gaea sometime ago, but I visited her and kissed her as my plan.and.she is back now."
"Why? Who brought her back?"
"Dil- I mean, the guy."
Van just nodded and Folken turned to leave, "Good-night Van. Thank you."
"Um."
Folken left.
Dilandau was looking at the fireplace when the alarms went off. His Dragonslayers ran in.
"Attack Lord, from Allen's Crusade. We think they are here to save Van."
Dilandau leapt up, "Kill them all. I don't care who they are. Burn them! Burn them to HELL!" Dilandau screamed, pulling out his sword and running out of the room. He ran down quickly, slicing down people as he went.
"I'll kill Van right NOW!" he shrieked.
Dilandau ran down to the prison floors and was stopped by Folken.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm guarding Van."
"I can do that."
Dilandau stomped his foot madly, "I heard there are some women fighters. Why don't you go kiss them?"
"Dilandau-"
"Piss off."
And he ran quickly down the stairs to Van's prison room door.
"Burn, Van, Burn!" he yelped and opened the prison door.
He gasped.
"IT'S EMPTY?!" he screamed.
Dilandau spun around and quickly ran up the stairs to see Folken was gone.
"Lord Dilandau, Van and the others are escaping on the Crusade." Exclaimed Dalet.
Dilandau slapped Dalet and then quickly ran to the hanger to stop the Crusade.
"Today is the day I get Van to repent for what he did to my face." Dilandau murmered and ran into the hanger.
He froze right away.
"Lina?" he muttered.
Lina was helping Van and the others get in the Crusade.
Lina froze and looked up to see Dilandau holding his sword. Hitomi wouldn't go in the ship and waited.
"Come on Lina!"
"So you have returned." Dilandau whispered.
Lina just stared at him, breathing hard. His eyes were like glass, still and unmoving.
"You broke my trust, Lina." Dilandau muttered.
He knows.
Lina just stared at him, deathly afraid of him now.
"You were the only one I trusted, Lina, "Dilandau looked at her, anger covering his face, "BURN IN HELL!" he shrieked and ran at her.
"Lina!" screamed Hitomi.
The sword was raised high when a flash of something metal blocked it.
"Folken." Lina whispered.
"What are you doing Dilandau?" Folken asked.
"I'll kill anyone who breaks my TRUST! I'LL KILL YOU TOO!" screamed Dilandau.
Allen tugged on Lina, "Let's go."
"But-"
"Now!" Allen said and shoved her in the Crusade.
The Crusade pulled out quickly and all that was left of Folken and Dilandau were dots.
"Stop Dilandau!" Folken cried and shoved him down on the hanger floor.
Dilandau looked outside and it began to rain.
"It's raining." He muttered.
Folken put his sword away.
"It's raining, Folken-sama. Did you know I hate the rain?" Dilandau said, absent mindly.
"You're crazy." Folken said and left Dilandau alone on the hanger floor.
Dilandau stroked his cheek, watching the rain, feeling sadness wash over him, when he noticed something on the floor. He leaned over and picked it up.
"My glove.she still had it."
Dilandau looked at the glove and felt a huge amount of sandess all over him now. He took the glove, marched to his room and did something he had never done before.
Cried.
The End
Do you want Chapter 11? It's getting to a gooooood part. I swear it!
