Unthinkable

Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne in any way, shape or form. Blah blah. All legal jumbo aside, enjoy!

This is my second favorite chapter!

She was on Earth.

Lina didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. To be happy or sad. All that mattered was she was away from her confusion. Lina looked up at the sky, to see Gaea slowly fading away, leaving her alone. Lina felt all her worries slowly melt away and she started walking home.



Lina was gone. She had left again. Hitomi shook her head in disbelief. The girl couldn't make up her mind. Her mind was with Folken.her heart with someone else. The door opened and in rushed Van and Allen.

"Lina? Where is she?" asked Allen.

"She went home." Hitomi whispered.

Van crouched next to her, "What? Why?"

Hitomi spoke, "She was confused."

Van's eyes looked deeply into hers.

What is it about his eyes I love?

Hitomi quickly looked away.



There was a knock on Folken's door. Grumbling to himself, he slipped on his cloak and opened the door. There was Dilandau, looking very drunk.

"Dilandau?"

"She left again.for (hicup) the Mystic Moon."

"Who? Lina?" Folken asked.

"Yep. (hicup) Your girlfriend."

Folken didn't listen to Dilandau, "I've got to tell Dornkirk."

"Yessss." he muttered, "Go tell him so you can go off and kiss her (hicup) again."

Dilandau moved closer to Folken, pining him against the wall, "You..areeee..going to hurt her (hicup) feelings."

"Go away Dilandau. You are drunk."

He began to stroke his cheek, "It stings today, Folken. Why? Why does it stingggg?"

"Stop it Dilandau."

"You.you made it sting.you.kissed.Linaaa.."

"Leave Lina out of this."

"No! YOU FOLKEN!" Dilandau said, pushing him against the wall.

"Stop, Dilandau."

"You.you made her leave.you.horribleee..person.."

Folken pushed Dilandau out into the hallway, locked his bedroom door and marched down to Dornkirk.

"Are you going (hicup) to give Dorny a kissy wissy (hicup) too?"

Folken blocked out Dilandua's antics.

Lina, you left again, with the bracelet no doubt. Does this mean I have to return and kiss you once more? Twist your pure feelings for him to me?



Dilandau slid against the door to Folken's room and slumped down.

"You.left.again."

His scar ached as did his head. Miguel walked by.

"Mig(hicup)uel!"

"Yes, Lord.er.Dilandau.?"

"Help me to my room. Now!"

Miguel helped lift him up and got him to his bedroom. Dilandau fell down on his bed.

"I.hate.these.pants!" he cried, wiggling around in them.

"Can you keep them on until I leave sir?" Miguel asked, looking at the hole in the wall.

"She left.Miguel.."

"Who did?"

"Miss.(hicup) Lina."

"I'm sorry sir."

Dilandau rolled over to the wall, "Is it still raining, Miguel?"

"Yes, sir."

"You.can.(hicup) go now Miguel."

Miguel bowed and left. Dilandau stared out the window.

"You.have.to come.back."

Dilandau looked at the glove in his hand. It had Lina's scent to it.

"Lina." he swooned and then passed out.



Only a day had passed on Earth, and no matter what Lina did she couldn't sleep.

Folken.I miss you.

This was the one bad thing about leaving Gaea. Folken was gone too. She rolled around in her bed, remembering that the glove was still on the Vione.

"I wondered if he has found it." she whispered to herself.

"I suppose he has." A voice rang out.

Lina looked up to see Folken, real, not an illusion.

"Mr. Folken! You came to see.me?" she muttered.

Folken shuffled, "Yes. You left again."

"I'm sorry."

Lina sat up and walked over to him.

"I wanted to see you again though, Folken."

Folken looked at her oddly and guilty.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"It's.the first time you didn't call me Mr. Folken." He muttered, looking at her.

"You don't mind do you?" she whispered, realizing how good-looking he was for the very first time.

"N.No."

What is wrong with him?



The guilt came over him like waves. He was staring at Lina's lips, the lips he was about to kiss. Even though he loved her, he knew he was taking her away from the man who truly did love her. The man who sitting in his bed (hopefully, and in clothes too.)

"Folken," she whispered to him and he looked at her, "Folken, can you kiss me again?" she muttered.

Dornkirk had told him to kiss her, so she would hand over the bracelet. Folken looked at Lina, knowing it was wrong to love her.

"Please?" she muttered.

Now or never.

Quickly, he leaned over and brought his lips to hers. Lina wrapped her arms around him and kissed him tightly, not letting him go.

"Hold me." she whispered.

Folken did, wondering what she made of his fake arm, as they rocked on the bed. She held onto him, and brought him to another kiss.



Folken kissing her was truly a great thing. He seemed to shy.so guilty that he was kissing her. She brought him closer, holding him tightly. She loved the feeling of his pale skin near hers, her hands ruffling through his short, silver hair.

Lina quickly pulled away and looked at the floor.

"Is something wrong?"

Why.why was I thinking of Dilandau?!

"Lina?"

"I think you should go, Folken." Lina whispered.

"What..happened?"

"I." she brought her eyes to his, "I'm sorry.truly I am. Please.go."

Folken nodded, though he looked worried. He stood up, closed his eyes and the bright light shot down once again. In a few seconds he was gone.

"Dilandau.I'm coming to say I'm sorry." Lina whispered.

She put her hands together, stood in the center of the room.

"Dear Gods of Gaea, please cure Dilandau of any sadness he might have and let him speak to me across the planets."

Dilandau woke up from his passing out to noticed only ten minutes had gone by and he was.sober? Dilandau looked past the rainy window to the mirror. His hair was tousled, his eyes bloodshot. How was he sober now?

Dilandau! Dilandau! I'm sorry!

He looked around the room quickly to see a white light forming in the center.

"Lina?" he cried.

Lina was there, floating, but an illusion.

"Dilandau?" she whispered.

"Lina!"

"I'm sorry, Dilandau!" she cried.

She held out her hand, as the time was over, and she started to float back.

"Dilandau!" she cried.



Looking at Dilandau, his hair and eyes, made her hold out her hand. She was creating an illusion. If Dilandau would grab onto it.if only he would grab onto the illusion's hand.

"Dilandau! Please, I'm sorry!" she wailed.

She was higher now and Dilandau ran and leapt up, grabbing her hand.

"Dilandau!"

"Lina!" he cried and he was pulled upwards.

Lina flew back and hit the floor of her room, with a thud. Dilandau fell next to her and looked up.

"Where are we?" he muttered, rolling on his back.

"Earth.the Mystic Moon."

Dilandau looked at her and Lina felt herself grow so sad at the thought of she was going to throw her life on Gaea away from her lame life on Earth. Lina cried and threw herself on Dilandau.

"Dilandau! I'm so sorry! Please, forgive me!"

She looked up at Dilandau's eyes.

He sighed, "I suppose I can."

"What can I do to let you forgive me?"



Dilandau took a deep breath.

"You can do three things for me."

"What?" she pleaded.

"You can take your glove back, " and he put it back in her hand, "You can return to Gaea with me."

"Ok.Ok.I shall. What is the last thing?"

His heart pumped and he was sweating like crazy, the first time he had sweated like this outside a fire.

"You.can.well."

"What?"

I'm really going to say this.

"You.You can."

"Dilandau? What?"



"You can give me my first kiss."
