Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own anything in Vision of Escaflowne, or it wouldn't be a fanfiction. Don't sue me :D

synopsis: Several years after Escaflowne ended. Hitomi is a secretary in a large corporation. She has gradually over the years communicated with Van in Fanelia less and less... And suddenly a man has fallen into her lap (or she into his? o.O), and he keeps reminding her of Van. Why did he stop contacting her so very long ago? Was he too busy with his country and ruling... had he married? Van wouldn't do that to her. He would wait.. and maybe find her? But what of Fanelia? What did he and his country expect of her, bringing her into their loop, and out of her own... Will it always end with Hitomi running away from Van? or will the blue allure call to Hitomi aswell?

Authors note: Song! Eyes! or Hitomi Theme :D or even Sora!

Hitomi could suddenly feel much pain and hurt, as well as a slight calm within it all. She looked at the sword.

The small insignia faintly glowed. Hitomi touched it... and felt warmth.

Strange... it never glowed ever before...

Taking her hand off of the sword, the extra feelings of distress and calm faded, and she again felt hopeless and confused.

Why did it... She put her palm on the hilt and immediately felt it again. Van??

*

Trudging up the slope, Van felt and increased feeling of hopelessness. He felt it so much he had to sit and stare down the hill. He looked up at the sky at Earth. Hitomi was there... with his sword. He suddenly felt better and stood up and walked faster. The feelings came back and he felt dismal. Looking up at the sky again, he spotted what he thought was the island of Japan.

Hitomi...

Van ran down half the hill and jumped out, spreading his wings. He glided up on an air current and towards earth. Clutching the glowing pendant he looked upwards and into the glowing light beam...

...towards Earth.

*

Merle was happily munching some bread and cheese when she saw it. A large beam of light shot from the forests a few miles outside of the capital of Fanelia. Unfortunately, it was back towards the Mystic Moon. She looked up at the blue gem.

I hope this means you are coming home soon, Lord Van.

*

Evan unlocked the door quietly, as to not wake Van if he had fallen asleep. The cute girl down the hall had just passed out drunk, and he didn't blame her. She had had far too much to drink.

Stepping into the room he did not expect to see what he did see. Hitomi was weeping and holding Van's sword, in front of the open window. She looked up at Evan with tearstained cheeks and he walked towards her.

Miss Hitomi! What happened?!? He blurted out. This was a strange turn of events!

Van... he.. he's gone. He left. She managed to get out and started crying again. Everything was so sudden I just didn't know he would leave me again, and in this way! She howled the last bit, burying her face in the scabbard and Van's shirt.

Evan went bug-eyed, and ran to the window. Looking down, he heaved a sigh of relief. Van was not splattered on the pavement. He didn't think his roommate would be so completely foolish, but he gave it no chance.

Looking up, Evan blinked a couple of times. There was something dark sailing at the apartments from over the shorter buildings, and in front of the moon.

Hit..Hit..Hitomi.. what is that!?! Evan pointed and swiftly backed from the window.

Hitomi, perplexed, stopped her crying and stood up. Walking towards the window she looked out into the distance. Something was definitely moving fast. She backed up as she realized what it was.

*

Folding his wings in ever so gently, Van went right through the window to his apartment, with his hands out before of him. The first thing he touched was Hitomi, and he fell, losing his under wing air. He summersaulted, taking her with him. They rolled, Hitomi screaming the whole time, and both hit the wall with a loud thud.

Hitomi pulled her head back out of Van's clutch and his shoulder and looked up at him. He smiled at her and pulled her back into his embrace. Placing her head on his shoulder, she smiled and felt a warm rush fill her insides. She kissed his ear and held him tight.

It was then that she realized the warm feeling wasn't completely her heart.

Amongst the strewn feathers, blood streaked the carpet, right after where the scabbard had been torn off from the rough tumble. Evan yelled and pulled Hitomi and Van apart. Ripping his shirt off himself, he wrapped it around his friends middle and side, where the sword has sliced him haphazardly through.

Hitomi ran for the phone, as Van's wings faded in his unconsciousness.
