The Septor of Dragons
Chapter 3: The Injury
By Coolchick1500
The liquid metal hit its intended target. Hitomi let out an ear-piercing scream. The liquid metal struck her side with such force that it ran straight through her side. Dilandau called back the liquid metal, and Hitomi fell to the ground. Van attacked Dilandau with full force, but Dilandau easily evaded Van's attack. Dilandau's Guymelef changed into fly mode, and flew away. Van's Escaflowne turned into it's Dragon Mode.
"Van, no. We need to take care of Hitomi. Dilandau can wait. Besides, she needs you too much for you to leave now" Allen said.
Van landed the dragon, and ran over to Hitomi. "Lord Van, what's wrong?" Merle asked, coming over to them.
Yukari and Amano were behind her. "Merle, go and find Millerna. Tell her that Hitomi's been badly injured, and that we need her out here" Allen said.
Merle dropped on all fours, and ran after the Asturian Princess. Within minutes, Millerna was there. "We have to move her inside. It's the only place I can help her" Millerna reported.
Van carefully placed his arms under Hitomi's knees and neck, trying not to jostle her. Van picked her up just as Chid and Hitomi's parents came out. "What the hell happened?" Hitomi's mother demanded.
"An enemy of ours hurt Hitomi" Van said.
"Where were you? I know she went to find who came through the portal with you" Hitomi's father said.
"We found Yukari and Amano. After getting turned around, Dilandau found us. He chased us here. Allen told everyone to get inside, but Hitomi didn't listen. Dilandau saw her and attacked her with hit liquid metal" Van said.
Van followed Millerna inside to an empty room. "Set her down on the bed" Millerna ordered.
Van did so. As he began to walk away, he felt a hand grab his arm. "Hitomi listen to me. Millerna's here and she's going to save you" Van said.
"Don't leave me" Hitomi said.
Her voice was barely a whisper. "I'll be right outside the room. Don't worry" Van said.
He came back to her, and kissed her on the forehead. "I'm scared" Hitomi said.
"You'll be fine" Van said.
Millerna came back with a needle in her hand. "This is anesthetic. Once in your system, you'll fall asleep and won't wake up for several hours" Millerna said. She inserted the needle and serum into Hitomi's arm.
"Van you have leave the room" Millerna said.
Hitomi's eyes closed and she went into unconsciousness. Hitomi and Millerna were in the room for over four hours. Hitomi's family and friends waited in the hallway. Some patiently and some impatiently. Van was about ready to break down the castle walls after the second hour.
"Beating you fist against the wall isn't going to help anybody" Dani stated.
"I have to do something to occupy myself" Van said.
"Read a book" Dani retorted.
She was on her laptop. "If you want to beat something into a pulp, might a suggest Dilandau" Amano said.
"He'd have to get in line" Yukari said.
"Why's that?" Van asked.
"Cause, I'll get to him first. I get first dibs on him" Yukari said.
"You'd have to get there before I do, and the probability of that happening is slim to none" Van said.
"I did it!" Dani shouted.
"Did what?" Amano asked, shaking Yukari out of her look she was giving Van.
"I got on the internet!" Dani said.
"How's that possible. There are no telephone lines" Yukari said.
"Hitomi has a satellite uplink. I connected it to my laptop, and laid it towards the earth" Dani said.
"For that to happen, there has to be a weak open portal around here somewhere" Hitomi's grandmother said.
"I don't care what caused it, I have access to earth" Dani said.
"Email my mom and dad and tell them that I won't be home for a while. Tell them that I'm at Hitomi's and that she's going to America, and that I'm going with her" Yukari said.
"Okay, what do you want me to tell your parents Amano?" Dani asked.
"Nothing. I live in America. I'm suppose to be in Tokyo. My parents have nothing to worry about. My beeper and cell phone are still in Tokyo. For all they know, I'm still in Tokyo" Amano said.
Millerna came out of the room. "The operation of a success. Hitomi's going to be fine. She's still unconscious. When she wakes up, tell her not to get out of bed, or to move around" Millerna said.
"Why don't you tell her? You're the doctor" Yukari said.
"Because I'll be sleeping when she wakes up" Millerna said.
She collapsed. "She's just really tired. She'll be fine" Van said.
He walked into the room. Hitomi was still laying on the bed. He went over to his beloved, and picked her up, and carried her out into the hallway. "Duke Chid, she needs a room" Van said.
"This way" Chid said, leading the way to an empty guest room.
Van entered the room, and laid Hitomi down in the bed. Taking the cover, Van placed them on top of her. He sat down in a chair that was next to the bed. He took Hitomi's hand, and watched her sleep all the way through the night.
~Well is it getting good yet? I bet none of you expected that to happen. Okay, maybe some of you did. Are any of you wondering how Dilandau got back? If you are, don't worry, there's an explanation. It'll be in a later chapter. I know the internet with satellite uplink was a little far fetched, but it was all I would think of. Please review. Even flames are accepted. Chapter 4 should be out by Sunday. Thanks for reading. CYA~
