Chapter2:True Blood Shed



The sun was setting as Van Fanel walked through the forest.
He was so happy that Hitomi was back. He only hoped that she was
back to stay. "Baka" he said to himself. Of course she was going leave
again. She had a family back on the Mystic Moon. She was going to
leave him again.


He had been so lonely without her. Of course Merle was there
but it wasn't the same. They had to constantly fight Zaibach. And
every time he did he wouldn't concentrate and get hurt badly. He
wouldn't concentrate because he was thinking about her. The
girl that always made him smile.


*********

Hitomi was sitting in a room that seemed familiar. Of course
she thought. It was the room she stayed in the last time she came
to the Palace in Asturia. They had arrived in Asturia earlier that day.


Van said he wanted to take a walk in the forest. She was
worried. Zaibach could attack at any time. Van didn't have
Escaflowne with him so he would be helpless against the
Guymelefs. " Stop worrying ,"she said to herself.
" He'll be all right ." She wanted to believe herself but she
just couldn't get rid of an uneasy feeling she had.


"Why was I sent here anyway ," she wondered. After a second
she said "Stupid. You were sent here to save Van ". But is that the
only reason she thought? "He must really need me here then," she said.
She sighed. When the war was over would she stay here. I really love Van
she thought.


Then she had a vision. In her vision she saw the same silver hair
boy as before. He was hiding in a tree and watching Van walk. When
Van walked by the tree he jumped out of it and landed behind Van.
Then he pulled out his sword and.... "No," Hitomi said as she broke out of the
vision. She hadn't wanted to see the rest of the vision. "Oh no not again," she said as she was running out of the castle. She kept on running till she arrived
at the forest. She saw footprints on the grass and assumed they were Vans.
She decided to follow them.



***********


Van was walking in the forest. Then he heard a sound. "Who's
there ," he asked? Probably nothing he thought. Up in the trees Dilandau
waited for the moment when he would jump behind Van and stab him.
"Finally Van, I can kill you and no one is here to save you" he said.


Van heard a noise behind him. He turned around and saw Dilandau
jumping towards him with his sword sticking out to stab him. He froze.
Then was pushed aside by Hitomi. Van hit the ground then heard a scream.
He knew that scream. It was Hitomi's. He jumped up and ran to where
Hitomi laid "No" he screamed.



Dilandau laughed. " Well this is a surprise," he mocked.
" Shut the hell up ," screamed Van. But before Van could do any thing
Dilandau disappeared. " Hold on ," Van said to an unconscious and badly
bleeding Hitomi. Van took of his shirt and sprouted his wings. Then he picked
up Hitomi and flew as fast as he could back to the castle.



Van landed at the front of the castle. His wings folded back into his back. Then he ran into the castle and shouted "Help someone."
Millerna heard him and ran to where he was standing. " My God ," she
said. " Van what happened," she asked.



************

Van was waiting outside of the medical room. How could I
have let this happen? Now Hitomi's hurt and she might die. I
am so stupid for letting this happen. My love finally comes
back and I let her get hurt.


Then Millerna came out. "Van" she said. " The bleeding won't
stop ," " I will have to do an operation. And there is a good chance
she will live also there is a good she might die."



Then Allen, Merle, and Gaddes came running down the
hall. "We came as soon as we could ," said Allen panting. Then
Van told them what happened. " I am so stupid for letting her
get hurt ," Van said. Millerna also told them what she told Van.
" I hope the little lady will be okay," said Gaddes. Van sighed.
" Oh Lord Van," Merle said.
