A Kiss is Just a Kiss
Right?

HERE IT IS! MWHAHAHAHA! *calms down * Please review!
Folken lay in bed. He knew he couldn't sleep. He had kissed the girl he had loved, but he did it by twisting her pure feelings for him.to Folken.
Him.
Another wave of guilt washed over him. Dilandau was passed out on his bed when he got back to Gaea.
Why did Lina stop kissing me?
That was what bothered him the most. Why had she stopped kissing him? She didn't have a vision, so what made her stop kissing him?
Unless.she realized that she doesn't love me but him.
He couldn't call Him by his name or else he would feel his heart break. If he pretended he didn't know Him, then he could twist her feelings in peace.
Or so I thought.
Dornkirk was waiting for Dilandau to die. A much higher and respected offical would take over the Dragonslayers. But Dilandau wasn't dying, in battle or suicide. He didn't understand how that crazy pryo had lived so long. No one had given him the light of day.
Except Lina.
Hitomi couldn't sleep that night. She stood up and walked outside on the deck. There was Van.
"Can't sleep either, Van?" Hitomi asked, standing next to him.
"No. I can't. Why can't you?"
Hitomi sighed, "I'm worried about Lina. She went back to Earth but."
"Do you know who she is in love with?" Van asked quickly.
Hitomi looked shocked, "Who told you that?"
Van shook his head, "I don't know if she is in love with anyone, but I know someone who is in love with her and I-"
"Folken. It's Folken isn't it?"
Van nodded yes, "He loves her. But she loves someone else. And to do his mission he had to twist his feelings for whoever she loved to him and-"
Hitomi sighed, "I know." She muttered.
Van looked up at the moon, "I'm sure she'll come back."
Hitomi nodded.
Van's eyes darted to Hitomi who was staring up at the Mystic Moon. Her face shined as the moonlight hit it and her eyes almost glowed in the night.
"Hitomi.I."
Hitomi looked at him, "What is it, Van?" she asked him.
Van looked at the floor, "Hitomi.I.want.."
Van looked up at Hitomi, breathing hard as he took a step toward her.
"Hitomi, Van!" cried and voice and Van leapt back.
Van looked up to see Dryden and Millerna.
"What are you two still doing up, huh?" asked Dryden.
"Same goes for you two." Said Hitomi.
"We were just out for a walk. Lovely night, isn't it?" Millerna asked.
"Yes it is." Hitomi said.
Millerna gave a little gasp and pointed up to the air.
"Look at the Mystic Moon." Millerna said to the group.
Hitomi and the others looked up at it and Millerna looked on, amazed.
"It's glowing." Dryden muttered.
Millerna replied, "I wonder why?"
Hitomi looked up at the Mystic Moon and her eyes went blank.
"Hitomi?"
"The two forces are coming together," Hitomi muttered, like a robot. "They are joining. The two charms are full of emotions on one's wrists."
"Hitomi!" cried Van, catching her as she fell.
Millerna stared in horror and fear as Hitomi pointed up to the Mystic Moon.
"The pain of the two is coming together. One lies about why, the other hides why. The bracelet is the key."
"Hitomi! What are you talking about?" Dryden asked.
Hitomi's eyes rolled in the back of her head and she passed out. Millerna looked up to the Mystic Moon.
Folken looked up at the Mystic Moon.
"Dilandau.she brought you there, did she not?" he whispered and walked down to Dornkirk's room.
Pushing in the pillars, the Dornkirk Image came up on the large screen.
"I sense The Fire Princess and the Pryo are too close. Why isn't the Pryo dead yet?"
"He is too good in battle sir."
"We need that bracelet. If the Pyro gets to close to the Fire Princess, his emotions will hold us up. As you know, we only have one chance to put the bracelet into Escaflowne. If it isn't the right treasure, then the other treasure won't work either. It would be up to the Wings of Illusion to help us then."
Folken nodded, "I know sir. I'll try to make sure the Fire Princess will only like me."
"Good."
The image was gone and Folken left the room.
"Dilandau." he muttered and went back to his room.
Lina looked at Dilandau, her heart pounding in her ears.
"I want you to give me my first kiss."
But why? Why her? Lina looked at Dilandau who was breathing hard, wondering what she would reply.
You're with Folken.
No you aren't. You know what you thought of when you kissed him last time.
I can't kiss Dilandau.
Kiss him, damn it! You know you want too!
You'll be kissing him out of pity.
.
Yes. I'll kiss him, but only out of pity. It will be a Pity Kiss. Because he's so crazy and sad.
Lina looked like she was talking to herself. Dilandau breathed hard, knowing she was going to say no. Lina looked up at him and looked deeply in his eyes.
"Ok. I'll kiss you." she whispered.
Dilandau almost said sorry for asking, but froze.
I'll kiss you.
Kiss. You.
Dilandau looked at her, "You don't have too."
Lina moved closer to Dilandau and put his glove to the side. She was shaking. He could tell. His mind flashed back to the day in the center of his bedroom.
He was painfully aware of how close they were know. He noticed she was shaking. They were closer now, and his lips were about to graze hers.
"Are you sure?" he whispered.
Lina nodded.
It's just out of pity, Lina. Remember?
Lina put her hand to his scar and stroked it softly. His skin was soft, very soft. She was surprised. Lina thought being around all those fires would dry out his skin.
Stop, Lina. Stop letting your mind wander.
She turned back her attention to Dilandau. She was shaking. Lina had never felt this way when she was kissing Folken.
That was different. That wasn't a Pity Kiss.
Now, she dragged her hand under his chin and he looked at her, unsure of what to do. Lina moved herself closer to him, taking her other hand and putting it behind his neck. Dilandau was shaking now too, softly. He put one of his gloved hands around her waist. Lina took her hands and pulled his hand from her waist away from her body.
Dumb move, Dilandau.
He knew he shouldn't of put his hand there-
Lina pulled off his gloves and placed his hand back around her waist. She was close to him now and he held her tightly, feeling she was shaking.
She doesn't even want to do this. That is why she is shaking. Lina hates you.
Now, she leaned over and kissed his neck. He raised up his face and let her kiss his neck, wrapping both arms around her.
She could feel his pulse underneth her lips. Lina liked his neck. It was soft, with his pulse racing underneath. His skin was so perfect and soft. Lina had never kissed anyone like this before.
Pity Kiss, Lina. Remember, Pity Kiss.
Shut up and enjoy you dumbass.
Lina almost laughed outloud at herself. Here she was kissing someone and she was too busy thinking about if it was a pity kiss or not. Lina dragged her lips up his neck and he shivered. She kissed his scar briefly and brought her lips below his. He was looking at her now, wondering when she would kiss him.
Dilandau looked in her eyes and she smiled quickly at him. Dilandau's body sent him another batch of shivers.
"Are you OK?" she whispered in his ear.
"Nnn." he said.
That was all he could manage to say. Lina chuckled and held him tightly.
"Lina?" he whispered.
Lina nodded to him.
"Can you kiss me.? I.can't.wait." he muttered, looking at her.
Lina leaned over and planted her lips on his own. He felt like he was flying. She held him tightly as did he and kissed her harder. Lina held the back of his neck tightly.
Any thoughts of the Pity Kiss were quickly gone when she put her lips on his. Kissing him was just like in that dream she had a while ago, the one her mom thought she was having a nightmare over.
It wasn't a nightmare.
No. It was perfect, like now. Lina took her hand from the back of his neck and brought it through his silver hair and down to his cheek. His hair was so soft as was he lips. Softly, Dilandau lay her down on the floor and kissed her harder. Lina wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tightly. Dilandau's eyes were shut tightly and he was holding into her like she might break. Finally, they parted from each other and Dilandau looked at her. She breathed hard as she stared into his eyes.
It was a Pity Kiss.
A kiss is just a kiss.
Right?
Do you guys want Chapter 14? I already have the rest of the chapters all written, so you tell me if you want them.
