When Dilandau woke up, the sunlight pelted at his face and he groaned softly. He looked down to see Lina in his arms. She was snoring softly, her hair covering half her face. One of her hands was against his scar, the other on his t-shirt. Her face was snuggled into her neck and Dilandau smiled for the first time in a while. The kiss could have been a relapse of her senses. She could have thought he was Folken or something.a million bad ideas swirled all through his head, but they didn't bother him. Even if she kissed him because she had hit her head or gotten stoned, it didn't matter. Dilandau had stilled kissed her. He had once again felt her lips on his, his arms wrapped around her small waist. Dilandau looked at the clock. 8:00 AM. That meant it would be about 5:00 AM in Gaea. When should they return? Lina moaned softly and Dilandau looked at her, wondering what she would do.
Lina's eyes opened and she felt her lips against someone's skin. The night before popped into her mind and she remembered it was Dilandau's neck her lips were against. She smiled to herself and moved her hand from his scar to her face, moving her hair out of her way. Lina looked up at Dilandau who turned to her and smiled for the first time she could remember. He had a wonderful smile. Even more so, since it was a real smile, not a smile because he had killed someone or burned something. His smile was blinding and Lina returned the smile. They didn't speak. Words couldn't tell Dilandau how happy she was they had kissed like that. This time it hadn't been a Pity Kiss. Folken dove into her mind and she wondered what she was going to do. It didn't matter. She would work that all out on Gaea.
"Hello." She whispered in his ear and Dilandau rolled over, wrapping his strong arms around her waist.
He muttered something in Gaean and she snuggled up to him.
"How was your sleep?" he asked her.
"Perfect." Lina replied, kissing his neck softly.
This caused him to jump and Lina smiled. Dilandau held her tighter and Lina looked into his huge eyes, the sadness from before not there.
"When will we go to Gaea?" Lina whispered.
"In about two hours. Then it will be at least 7:00 there." Dilandau replied, brushing his hand through his hair.
The truth was, Dilandau didn't want to leave this bed. He looked at her and buried his face into her neck, kissing it softly. He started shaking and looked up at her, afraid, quite quickly, she would pull away.
"Lina." he muttered.
"What, Dilandau?" she said, a smile across her face.
"This isn't a dream?" he asked her.
Lina playfully slapped him, "No."
"Good. I don't want it to be."
Lina leaned over and grazed his lips with her own.
"Dilandau, I'm afraid." She said suddenly.
"What? Why?"
"You.you might die. In battle. I saved you once, but.I might not again!" Lina's grief filled eyes hit him hard.
"Lina.I."
"From now on, Dilandau.can I come into battle with you?" Lina muttered.
"Come into battle? But Lina, you could-"
"No. I just can't. I won't allow it to happen."
Even though Lina wasn't sure it couldn't happen, Dilandau believed her and he kissed her in return.
"Ok then. You can come with me into battle. I don't like it, but I can't change your mind."
Dilandau sighed, kissing her again.
Lina kissed him back.
"You know, " he said pulling away, "We will be fighing Hitomi.and Van."
Lina nodded, "I know. But in war you can't change that."
Dilandau nodded also and together, they held each other.
Folken still hadn't gotten word that Dilandau had returned. It was 5:00 AM. He was sure of it. They had slept together. They must have. It was the only way to explain why Dilandau wasn't back yet. Folken's head was pounding. He stood up, rubbing his head and got his cloak. He was going to do something he had never thought about before. He would go down to a bar, pick up a women and try to forget about Lina.
Even if it meant for a second.
Lina gobbled down her food, the eggs tasting rather good for her first try. Dilandau, however, poked at the eggs funny and looked at them.
"Eggs, you call them?" he asked her, with a weird look on his face.
Lina nodded, having a third helping.
"Do you have any wine?" Dilandau asked.
"Yeah, right." Lina scoffed, drinking her orange juice.
"Well then, what is this?"
"Orange juice."
"Oran what?"
Lina just laughed and stood up, kissing him for a second on the lips and sitting down on the coach. Dilandau sat next to her and she leaned against him.
"We should go." Dilandau responded.
Lina stood up and looked at Dilandau, pausing for a second.
"Hang on." She said quickly.
Lina leapt up the stairs, grabbing her glove. Her parents would be home today. She would have to leave. And this time, she wouldn't come back. No matter what.
Dilandau came back and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close. They both closed their eyes, and prayed for Gaea to bring them back. The house gave a little shake and then a beam of light shot down. The light swirled around them and Lina held onto him tighter, clutching him. Dilandau looked down at her as they began to raise upwards to the heavens. She looked downwards and buried her face into Dilandau's neck. Dilandau also closed his eyes and soon the light left them. When he opened them, they were on Gaea.
"Did we make it?" asked Lina.
"Yes. We are on Gaea." Dilandau whispered, pleased with himself.
"Thank god.I'm back." He heard her whisper.
Dilandau stared at her for a second and then looked around.
"Where are we?" she asked.
Folken woke up to a noise. His head hurt. He could remember going to the bar, meeting this girl and now this. Folken wrapped a towel around him and walked to the living room. The girl he had slept with was chanting some song.
"A witch?" he muttered.
Out of anyone to sleep with, he had slept with a witch?! The girl turned around. Hell, he couldn't even remember her name.
"Her name is Lina. She comes from a distant moon. You love her, but her feelings lie with someone else."
Folken was taken aback, "How did you know?"
"I did a reading while you were asleep. I can help you. I can make you forget the one who is causing you pain."
"You what?"
"If you want me to get rid of your memory, you will not remember meeting this girl or loving her. I will help you."
"What do I have to pay you?" he muttered.
The witch raised an eyebrow, "You already did."
Folken wondered about this. Never remembering meeting her. Never kissing her. Never going into this downward spiral known as his life. He looked at the witch.
"Ok." He muttered.
And the witch smiled, snapped her fingers and Folken didn't feel any different.
"Folken, who is Lina?"
Folken was puzzled. Li.na?
"Who?"
The witch just smiled.
Dilandau came out of the store.
"A ship will come pick us up."
Dilandau and Lina started walking to get to the dock where the ship would pick them up. They walked along the road when there was a small girl crying. Lina stopped and leaned over to her.
"Little girl? Are you lost?"
The girl looked up to show.
To show Lina.
"What?" Lina asked.
"My name is Lina. I'm lost and alone. Can you help me find my love?"
Lina stumbled a little, the world turning dark, except for her and the girl.
"Why are you so afraid to tell him? What do you have to lose?"
"Folken!" Lina cried.
"My name is Lina. I'm a brat who is using men to get fun. I'm a whore. My name is Lina. And I'm going to destory Gaea."
"SHUT UP!" Lina screamed.
The ground crumbled a little underneath her and Lina turned and ran. She ran quickly, not knowing where to go.
"I use people. My name is Lina." The child's voice rang all around her.
"Stop it!"
"My first friend is Dilandau. I've been alone my whole life. Can you blame me?"
The ground broke all the way and Lina was falling, screaming. Once again there was a white light and angel wings.
"Help me, Dilandau!" she cried.
"Hee hee. Silly girl."
The girl faded and the angel caught her.
