Escaflowne
An Unwanted turn of events!!
Chapter 2 - He's still here!! Make him go! Please!!!
Three days later - Friday the 13th Jan (what a coincidence!!) Van Fanel was still residing in the Kanzaki estate. Actually, it's more like 'holed up'. It had snowed heavily (which was very suspicious freak weather) and Hitomi was convinced it was Van. I mean, come on. An 'alien' from another planet comes to earth and then Japan (and the rest of the world) have freak weather.
No one else believed her though. No one else being her Mum, Dad and brother Mamoru who worshipped the earth the 'alien' stood upon.
So Hitomi went to her parents and explained her uncomfortable feelings with Van staying in this house, even on the planet.
'But we don't you two to go so soon!' argued her mother.
'What ARE you talking about?' hissed Hitomi through her teeth, clenching her fists into even tighter fists that wanted to lash out at one person (wonder who THAT could be?); Van.
'Unless I'm not mistaken,' said her father, ' Van asked for your hand in marriage and I granted him permission, so if your fiancé goes...' he left the sentence hanging.
'I go too,' breathed Hitomi.
And she rushed off passed a dazed Van (who had been listening at the door trying to make out what they were saying), and into her bedroom where she sobbed..............
............. And sobbed...........
..............And sobbed............
.............And sobbed.............
.............And (you guessed it!!) sobbed...........
.............Then she slept fitfully............
............Then sobbed......................
................Then used her pillow as a punch bag.............
..........Then (eventually) she stopped crying, realising that her eyes were puffed and red and that she was crying. She didn't want red eyes when she went down to dinner.
IF she went down to dinner, since Van would be there.
Then she wondered how she would break the news to her boyfriend (who she had been going steady with for two and a half years) Alexandrous (my cousins name! Yuck! But the only name I could think of on short notice. Hehe)
At dinner Van felt awkward when he saw her usually twinkling eyes red rimmed and slightly puffed. She clearly didn't want to come with him, to leave everyone she knew and loved. She was only fifteen for Christ's sake!!!
But Fanalia needed a Queen and heir (or better, heirs) as his advisors kept reminding and pestering him!!!
Hitomi was everything he could hope for in a Queen. She was funny, outgoing, athletic and stunning. Well she was when she didn't think Van was there.
Round Van though, she was moody, spiteful and upset. He supposed that she thought that if he didn't like what he saw then he'd back out of the marriage proposal.
He winced at the painful memory of meeting Hitomi's two best friends (Yukari and Amono if you're brain dead!!!) and her recent (ex) boyfriend Alexandrous (who you should remember since I've already mentioned him. Unless you've got an abnormally short memory; like me!!! Now where was I???? Hehe!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Er... Yukari, Amono, Alex (short for Alexandrous stupid!) this is my fiancée Van,' winced Hitomi while glaring at Van.
Alex had glanced hurtfully at Van then asked, ' why so young?'
'I dunno, ask those two strangers and that dwarf!' pointed Hitomi at her (ex) family.
Yukari frowned. Seeing this Hitomi had said, ' I've disowned them, unless they let me keep my life instead of shoving me into marriage and pushing me to be Queen!'
Again, Hitomi glared daggers at Van.
'Queen,' shouted Amono gleefully. But he shut up when the frightening glare of Hitomi's eyes moved to him.
The most uncomfortable moment for Van was when they said goodbye.
Alex said, ' Good Luck and remember I'll always love you!' (Corny isn't it!!! Sorry!!! * Is pelted with rotten fruit and veg as I prepare to be hung by you ungrateful little sods*)
So Hitomi parted with her loved ones, tears streaming down her cheeks. So ended the relationship between friends.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Van decided that he had to leave the mystic moon to get back to Fanalia on the 1st February, which he believed gave Hitomi ample time to say her goodbyes and pack.
They had made a truce that in return for Hitomi coming to live on Gaia and being his queen, she would be allowed to visit her friends and family at least once a month.
Van had agreed but dreaded letting his advisors know. He wondered how they would take it. Very badly.
Hitomi still believed she got the worst deal. Her family were willingly packing her off to marry someone they didn't know, on and 'alien' planet, without a second thought.
Hitomi decided to take lots of shampoo and conditioner, her razor, make-up, watch, batteries, alarm clock, torch, sketchpad and materials, books, clothes and of course as a last minute decision, her portable battery operated laptop (oh and a camera and film, so her family could see how miserable she was).
Finally the last day she would be happy (ish!) came.
Then she and Van walked back to where he had left Escaflowne and made their way to Gaia with the help of a pillar of light. (Don't say a word! I dunno how Van would get to the Mystic Moon without the pillar of light so...)
