A/N: Hey, everyone~ Thanks to all my devoted readers!!! This one is for Tia!!! Because I never mention her and she has a wonderful fic … also, to TigerWolf … who flamed me but said it wasn't a flame …
Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne or anything of theirs … I'm just using their characters to write this fic … don't sue~ I'm just a penniless otaku … you wouldn't get much anyway …
Where I left off: Dallet sighed and fell back on his bed. He didn't understand … he wondered if Victoria had let him do that … how Guimel got in … and what was going to happen. He rolled over and gasped. His chestnut eyes met the piercing gaze of someone's golden one. But it wasn't the usual, confident one he always got lost in. It was tear-filled and afraid …
Chapter 14: Comfort & Punishment
"Victoria?" Dallet whispered, slightly confused. "What are you doing here?"
Victoria sniffed. "I'm sorry, Dallet … I didn't know who else to go to …"
Dallet looked down at her. "She must have been so afraid," he thought "what happened in there?"
Victoria explained everything that happened … from her dropping the code in the shower rooms to Folken walking her down the hall.
Dallet had noticed that Guimel had been very friendly with her …
"Which made me very jealous …" he added mentally.
Victoria was now freely crying onto his shoulder, and he had his arms around her in a brotherly hug. After softly rocking her and whispering that it would be alright, she soon fell asleep in his arms. He got up, saw a folded up piece of paper fall from her pocket, and picked it up … it read "831" in Folken's hand writing.
"The code to her room …" he thought.
*Author: GASP!!! That code on a piece of paper thing is becoming a real problem … well, on with the fic …*
Dallet shook his head … when would they ever learn? He picked her up and carried her out into the hallway. He walked up to her door and somehow managed to punch in the code, and not wake her up at the same time. He walked in and laid her on the bed. He wouldn't be like Guimel …
"I can win her heart by myself …" he thought.
* MEAN WHILE *
Guimel bowed before Dilandau and Folken. Dilandau paced up and down in front of the trembling slayer.
"Explain yourself …" he hissed.
Guimel knew no matter how much he got punished for what he did, if he lied it would be worse.
"W-well L-Lord Dila-andau-u … I found a p-piece of paper o-on the floor of the s-shower r-r-rooms and it t-turned out to be the c-code to s-slayer V-Victoria's r-r-room …"
"So what?!" Dilandau spat.
"W-well …" he choked out "I feel s-specially towards Slayer V-Victoria a-a-an-an-an-an-and-d-d-d …"
Dilandau had heard enough. He walked up to him a back-slapped him across the face.
"You are weak and pathetic, Guimel … you are a soldier of Zaibach … one of the elite dragon slayers no less … you are not suppose to feel … only thirst for the blood of others …" Dilandau said and punched him in the stomach.
Guimel curled up into a little ball and coughed up a pool of blood before staggering back on his knees and bowing.
"F-forgive me Lord Dilandau, Lord Folken …" he whispered "it won't happen again …"
Dilandau pulled up his sleeve, drew his sword and laughed.
"You're right about that …" he said ready to strike down for the kill … but Folken stopped him.
"You better see that it doesn't … you are dismissed Slayer Guimel … go to the medical quarters …" Folken told him.
"Why did you stop me?! He was an arrogant fool … I do not tolerate such behavior from my slayers … he deserved to die … " Dilandau said once Guimel had walked out the doors.
"You are to keep them alive, Dilandau … is that understood?" Folken said.
Dilandau snarled and opened his mouth to answer but Folken spoke again.
"You are dismissed, Dilandau. Your slayers should just be waking up now."
Dilandau grumbled and walked out.

Victoria blinked her eyes opened and yawned.
Still half asleep she jumped up …
"Oh, Dallet! I'm sorry! I …" but she found herself all alone in her room …
"I could have sworn that I fell asleep in Dallet's room …" she thought and ran to the balcony.
"Shoot," she thought "I only have 15 minutes to get ready!!!"
She grabbed her uniform and sword and ran to the showers.
After taking what had to be the quickest shower in her life she jumped into her uniform, ran down the hall, and almost ran into …
"Dallet!!!" she said.
"Morning." he smiled.
Victoria looked down and blushed.
"About yesterday," she said sheepishly "I'm sorry … I was just … I didn't mean to … I …"
Dallet laughed. "Calm down! It's ok …"
"W-What happened last night?" she asked.
"Well," he said turning the corner "you told me what happened with … Guimel … and you cried yourself to sleep in my arms …"
Victoria blushed and apologized again.
"Then what happened?" she asked, wanting to know how she got into her room.
"I picked you up and took you to your room …" he said with red-tinted cheeks.
She cocked an eyebrow. "How do you know my co--" but they turned another corner and came face - to - face with the metal doors of the Mess Hall.
2nd A/N: AH!!! DID YOU HEAR THAT??? "I can win her heart by myself …" Aw!!! Dallet likes Vicki! But who does she feel for??? Folken? Miguel? Dallet? Dilandau? Chesta? … wait a minute, Guimel can't get off that easy! What's going to happen to him? … This one is for Kae Noel … Keep reading!!! ~CrimsonFire
