AUTHORS CUT:

This is the continuation of the episode ender of Vision of Escaflowne. I was a little disappointed at the end (obviously) because of ending without any romantic "thing" between Hitomi and Van (except the hug) which is quite all right but not enough. Well, this story came up right after watching the last episode so hope you'll like it.

Chapter 1: COMPLICATION STARTS…

"Maybe you could be a little more specific." Her heard slightly turned in the side.

"Specific about what?"

"Come on Hitomi! You've been away for many months can you please tell us what happened?" Yukari stomped her foot and slowly sat down beside her. They've been talking for hours now. They've stopped at the cafeteria after finishing their assignment at the library.

"There's nothing to tell."

"Nothing to tell! Nothing to tell! Hitomi…"

"I left for a little vacation that's all. I didn't have time to tell everyone and there's no phone or anything." She cut her off.

"You know what?"

"What?" looking at Yukari who's slowly standing up and leaning towards her that they nearly touch each other's nose.

"You're not good in lying." She said and smiled while Hitomi looking at her with wide eyes.

"But Yukari…"

"All you need to say is you are not ready to tell me yet, and that's fine with me." Turning away from her.

"Yukari…I'm sorry." staring at her shoes.

"As I've told you it's fine. I'm just worried that's all."

"Thank you for being worried. I'll tell you all about it promise." Yukari turned her back and hold her hands.

"Be sure of that!"

"I think you should sit down now, everyone's watching."

"Ops, sorry." Sitting down.

"So how are you and Amano." Grinning at Yukari who instantly blushed.

"Well…we've been dating this couple of days and" getting reedier at the thought.

"Don't tell me he hadn't proposed yet?" Hitomi asked looking at her with a wide smile.

"Hitomi!" He's not my boyfriend yet!"

"I'm not talking about marriage proposals you idiot. I was talking about being him being your boyfriend!" she laughed.

"Oh! I see. As I said we are not…yet."

"So when it will be?"

"Oh shut up!" Hitomi laughed again and saw Amano walking their way.

"It seems your prince charming miss you."

"Amano!" Yukari exclaimed, instantly smiling at him.

"What are you doing here? I thought you have a practice?" Amano is dressed on his running shirts and shorts.

"My break." He looked at Hitomi and smiled.

"How are you?" and smiled.

"Never been great!" and smiled back.

"Are you back to running?" Amano asked taking his seat beside Yukari.

"Yup!" She looked at her watch.

"Ops! Have to go now! See you both tomorrow okay." She was about to leave when she turned and looked at Yukari.

"Yukari, Stop worrying okay. I'm fine, just fine." And slowly walked away.

"So what do you think?" Yukari asked Amano, who is still staring at the departing back of Hitomi.

"Let's just leave her alone for a while. She'll tell us soon enough…I hope."
