Disclaimer: I don't own Escaflowne...how nice it would be to own them then...specially Falcon(yummmmm)..I could order everyone around...that would be the life...well for now I'll have to stick to ordering around my little sister...yes I am slightly insane..but only slightly....... hehehe.......

AN. Oh yes I've changed the spellings of some names that were ever so nicely(i really mean nicely) pointed out to me in one of the reviews...and I know any of my friends who read this will either think "you have friends??" or "you get reviews??" yet again I repeat I'm not all there. If you know what I mean.

Recap: "They thought that you would want to see me. And I really needed to recover. How I'm alive now no one knows. I should be dead." Falcon(AN. notice the spelling here) glanced guiltily at the wall....although no one really was paying attention to him. Every ones attention was focussed on the two huddled on the floor.

Max's Saviour?? Or Enemy??

"So you're telling me that you two are best friends but you" Allen pointed to Hitomi, "didn't know she was alive. How does that happen?" No one answered. "DID I MISS SOMETHING HERE??" Allen's breath was heaving...he was having a little trouble accepting this.

"Ya...so what's your point?" Max questioned.

"Well I can't see how any one can stay away from this adorable little dear for so long...three year?? You must have been really sick to stay away... I can't even stay away for two minutes....ain't that right." He turned to Hitomi who he had just pulled into his arms.

"Not now Allen. Max and I have a lot of things to catch up on." With that Hitomi squirmed away from Allen. "So Max, did you just get out of hospitalization? Or did my parents keep you from me longer than I thought?"

"Well I didn't just get out of hospitalization. I got out a little bit after you left." Hitomi looked down at her shoes. "But by then I was still trying to walk. You know get back into shape..

"You look like your in pretty good shape." Gaddes quipped.

Max glared at him, "I am thank you! Want a demonstration."

Gaddes remembering all to clearly how easily she broke his nose decided to decline to having the demonstration. Especially when he would be the one the demonstration would be on.

"Hey Max," Hitomi started. "Just ignore him, he's just jealous that you can hit harder then him....

"She may be able to hit hard but can she fight with a sword??"

Hitomi just looked at Max. "Should you tell him or me."

"I think it may be more believable coming from you, but either way no matter what he'll want a

demonstration." Max replied.

"Tell me what?"

"Oh only that Max was the one who was on every kind of sporting team."

"So what does that have to do with her being able to fight with a sword." Van asked.

"Well lets see. I don't know what sports teams are for you. But fencing is one type. But I always

go above and beyond in my training so I naturally wanted to train with a sword." Max gave the

explanation like it was a direction to a store that she went to every day.

"So you know how to fight with a sword. That doesn't mean that you could take on someone who has fought with one for there whole life and win....does it?" Gaddes voice faltered slightly at the end. He was starting to believe this Max chick was way to good to be true...
