Silent Secrets Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne as the most people
must have found out by now. I'm only borrowing the charakters for my my
story and edited some of my own.
Some of you have complained, that there should be nothing bad happening here and that Hitomi and Van should just get together. But since I have got the story already figured out in my head and wrote chapter 11 and now 12, there is no turning back. But if you want to, I can write an alternative ending and put it in after chapter 10. Just say it (if you want to) by reviewing, sending me and e-mail or even a telegram through AOL. My name is just like here SabineballZ, nut I'll probably only be in the internet on weekends, due to boarding school. But holiday are soon to come and maybe a new story *hint, hint* And I'll now stop with that stupid blabbering and yaddading (can you write it like that???), LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY.
Chapter 12: Bad News on the Way
With a start, both Hitomi and Van opened there eyes at the same time. Van could see the fright and confusion written all over Hitomi's face and he didn't feel any better. Talk about having weird dreams. But seeing your own dead mother in the dream of the girl you love(where you have also accidentally stumbled across) and then getting warned about an old prophecy can really freak you out. They both still lay in bed, wrapped comfortingly in the arms of one another. It helped to calm down their totally out of order going, up side down tumbling thoughts and theories. Hitomi was the first to get her spinning head to work proper again: What was that all about? Was that really your mother?
Uh-huh... And I think we should REALLY take that serious, with the prophecy. She sounded very worried. But when will it happen?
I have no idea, but I have the feeling it will be soon. Maybe in about 1 or 2 weeks. Remember when I once collapsed into your arms the first night on the roof? *a nod from Van* Well, I don't know what it really was. Some kind of vision or so. But a voice told me to be careful, because of the events that would happen in 2 to 3 weeks... It also said something about a Dragon and a so called Fortunanestra...
Hmmmm.... I think we should better discuss this tomorrow. The sun hasn't even risen yet. But it would be better for the both of us, if I go to my own room now, before Merle or worse someone else finds us this was right now. You wouldn't believe, what the advisers would do to me, if they would find out right now...
I suppose it's better, if we keep this to ourselves at first. I don't want to imagine, what the others must think about us then, especially with the mind link and the prophecy.
Mmhhmm...., was all Van thought (~ remember the mind link *g* ~), before pulling Hitomi towards him and sealing her lips with his. She didn't complain as her mind went mush when she kissed him back. He tentativly opened his mouth and licked over her under-lip, asking for access. She granted it with a small gasp and Van explored her mouth as she did his after a moment of uneasiness. A small moan escaped Hitomi's mouth as Van wandered up and down her back with his one hand, the other pressing her even closer to him. She buried her hands in his hair, not wanting him to stop, deepening the kiss a bit more.
Eventually they had to stop, `cause of the lack of oxygen. Van only had time to take two deep breaths, when Hitomi captured his lips again. He didn't complain. It felt so right. Her body close to his, fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle.
They finally managed to break apart, Van smiling a lopsided grin. I think, I really should go now, before this gets a bit out of hand... He grinned even wider when seeing the light blush creep up Hitomi's cheeks. He lightly kissed her lips one more time, then got out of her bed and went to his own room. Once there, Van plopped down on his bed closed his eyes again, while he let the mind link open to Hitomi... Just in case... *wink, wink* *g*
The next morning Van woke up just in time to see a Merle creep into his room with a bucket that seemed full of water. Realising that it had to be that way, Van put two and two together and was immediately on his feet: "I'm up Merle! I'm UP!" "Awwwww, crab.... and I thought I could help you by taking over the task of already washing you." *grins devishly* But there is still Hitomi!!!"
And with that she made her way to Hitomi's room...
Uh-Oh.... Van? What's the matter?? Is something wrong? Morning beautiful. There is nothing wrong here, but you might want to get out of bed, before Merle comes in with that bucket full of water and wakes you up in her own special way... YIKES!! I'M UP!! I'M UP!!! *chuckles* Great. I'll see you at breakfast and then at in the practice hall. Oh and Hitomi? I love you I love you, too, Van With that settled, Van made his way to the dinning hall, while words like "No fun!" and "This is unfair!!" were heard from an angry Merle out of Hitomi's room...
"My Lord! The King of Hearim, Lord Lived (~ pronounced Li-vet ~) has come for a visit and wishes to see you." Van raised an eyebrow at the message the guard had told him. Why did Lord Levid wanted to come so suddenly, without sending a message before his arrival?? Normal, you would send a message at least a month before you came to visit another country and the since the travelling from Hearim to Fanelia wasn't very easy and took at least nine days... "Tell him to come to my study. I'll be there in a minute." The guard bowed and left the library, where Van, Hitomi, Dryden with his son Aron, Celena and Dilly had been looming around and read.
It had been relaxing for Van to just once sit there, reading a book and doing nothing else except maybe "talking" with Hitomi once in a while.
Of course, he and Hitomi hadn't said anyone anything about the dream with his mother and the mind link between them. This had caused some confusion in the castle and he smiled at the memory, the last two days. Like the time where he and Hitomi had again been lying in the gardens. Before the link he would have spoken and she would have written on her Notebook. But since they didn't needed that anymore, they usually lay in the grass, talking about this and that and laughing there heads of at the frustrated small sighs, scowls and faces from mostly Merle and Esmeralda, but also Allen, Celena, Dilly and Millerna. Van had even once discovered two of his advisers spying in on them and for no reason, they had suddenly shrieked and run of. Hitomi had later told Van, that there had accidentally fallen two spiders on there heads. *g* *lol* Of course, there had also been the situation at the meals or sitting rounds, when Van couldn't hide the chuckle or the smirk at the comments Hitomi often made about the gang.
But why did the King of Hearim suddenly visit? He had decided to meat him in his study, for he had seen how Hitomi had stiffened at the mentioning of his name. Van also had a bad feeling about this. A VERY BAD felling!
When Van had finally gotten to his study and opened the door, he haltered for a moment in his steps. There was not only standing the King of Hearim, Natas de Lived, but also two other men. The first one seemed to be around the age of the King, maybe a bit older, the other much younger. Natas was the first to speak: "Ahhh, King Van. I am honoured to finally meet you in person. My daughter has written highly of you in her letters. I sorry, if I have been rude to just show up here, without announcing my arrival earlier, but some unexpected things have occurred in my country." "I am sorry to hear that and welcome you in my country and my castle. If you don't mind asking me, who are your two companions?" "Ah, yes. Arnno Kanzaki here *pointing at the older, grim looking one* is my most trusted adviser and also my step-brother. And this young lad here is Rubeus Kanzaki, his son and very good when it comes to trading and politics."
While the two bowed before Van, he couldn't help but be amazed and somehow very confused. He tried to hide and made mental contact with Hitomi: Hitomi? Can you hear me? Yes Van, what is it? You seem very confused? Remember when I told you about my dream of your past and how I picked up that your brother is called Rubeus? Y-Yes... But what has the current situation to do with it? She sounded like she had already a feeling of what was going to come next... Well, I don't know how you will react to this, but Rubeus Kanzaki is at this moment standing infront of me with his father Arnno Kanzaki together with the King of Hearim......
So here we have the already 12th chapter of my story... If anyone has noticed, the name Natas de Lived is read the other way around Devil ed Satan (ed can be interpreted for the latin word et (and)... so Devil and Satan) *hint, hint* . Hope you liked this one again and tell me something about my idea I mention above at the beginning. R&R!!!! PLEASE!!!!
