The Wrong Girl
Disclaimer: Do I really have to say this AGAIN? Guess so, well I do not own Escaflowne or any of the characters. Also I do not own Love Hina either.

"I can't waste my time on this any longer. See ya Keitaro, Haitani" With that Yukari stood up, turned around and walked off in an unknown direction.
"Hey Haitani, shouldn't we tell her that she can't get out of the forest if she goes in that direction?" Keitaro asked
"No, but she'll be back sooner or later. So we can tell her then" Haitani answered
In the depths of the forest…
"Alright, well it's kinda creepy and I'm talking to myself. Great, I think I'm lost" Yukari muttered to herself. The canopy of the trees around her blocked out almost all sunlight and she had unknowingly strayed off of the path she was following. Leaves blew in the cold wind and somewhere in the distance a branch cracked. Yukari jumped at the sound and looked frantically around, but no one was there. "Hello? Is anyone there?" Her answer was the wind kicking up the fallen leaves. She continued walking and in her plight didn't hear the person right behind her until it was too late.
He put his hand on her shoulder and spinned her around to face him. "You know it's not exactly safe to be around here" Keitaro said "I went this way once and about an hour later something hit me all the way back to Haitani. Didn't think you'd like that too much" Yukari's heart was beating fast and she couldn't make it stop. She had just been scared so badly she almost pissed herself. "Oh, did I scare you?"
"Just a little! Holy crap you can't do that to people, it's like the friggin Blair witch project out here" Yukari stammered
"You could say that except there are real witches out here. That was just a movie" Keitaro said
"Oh that made me feel soooo much better" Yukari rolled her eyes "It doesn't matter, lets just get outta here"
"Ummm… which way did we come from anyway?" Keitaro asked
"WWWHHHHAAAAATTTTT????!!!!" Yukari yelled "You don't even know HOW to get out of here?"
On the crusade…
"Ahhhhhh!!!" *sob sob sob* Allen cried in his room "My hair my beautiful hair. How dare you assholes touch my hair" He threw his handheld mirror at the wall and sobbed some more. Everyone could hear it and was getting fed up with him crying like a baby all the time. Although they had locked him in there because none of them wanted to be killed.
"I wonder how long he's going to cry like that" Hitomi wondered aloud
"Probably until all his 'beautiful hair' grows back" Van answered
"How pathetic" Gaddes said "And I thought he was supposed to be tough"
"I for one think he got what he deserved. He didn't even care that Yukari fell off the side of the ship" Merle said She looked up from the window and saw something move in the shadows. What the hell is that? She thought It moved again and that time she saw the faint outline of a person sneaking along the wall to the door. "Van close the door, quick!" Merle screamed as she lunged at the figure. Van closed the door and Merle brought the shadow lurker down in one try.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? A stowaway perhaps?" Gaddes said hovering over the figure.
"No, I am only here because I was ordered to" It said
"I see, so basically you're a spy for someone?" Hitomi asked It got up and removed its hood to reveal a stout, slightly overweight man with big round glasses.
"I will never tell you anything" He said
"I beg to differ" Van said to him. Van had drawn his sword and held it in attack position. "Now, you either tell us what you know or die"
He looked terrified and was sweating slightly "Ok, my name is Shirai and I only did it for the money. I work for Zaibach. That is all I will tell you"
In the forest…
"Well, we've been walking in circles for the past three hours and I am really getting annoyed" Yukari complained
"Hey don't blame me you're the one who came out here in the first place" Keitaro said
"If you hadn't forgotten which way you came from then we wouldn't be lost right now"
"Look! Over there it looks like smoke. Lets go and ask someone for directions" Yukari said as she hurried towards the smoke.
"Wait! Yukari I wouldn't go if I were you" He screamed after her but she was too far ahead to hear. He sprinted after her knowing that it would not end well if she reached that place. Yukari disappeared into the forest and Keitaro sprinted after her. When he got close he slowed down and hid in the bushes. "Shit" was all he said as he peered into the clearing.
A/N: Wow I'm really sorry for not updating sooner. I started another fanfic called Escaflowne Switched. It's really not good at all. I just wanted to take a break from this one cause I had major writers block and do something new. On that note I think I'm going to end this pretty soon. Please R&R!! Tell me what you think Kay? ~Tomo~
