Wanna Switch With Me, Hitomi?

Ch.11- Day 4: Hitomi and the Fire
Disclaimer- My name is Kristina and I'm a Vanaholic, but I don't own Escaflowne.
The door to Hitomi's room opened up on Saturday morning. A small figure started walking towards the body of the sleeping Hitomi. The figure kneeled on the bed and stood right above Hitomi and began shaking her. Hitomi opened her green eyes and saw the close up figure of Missy standing above her. "Yes?" Hitomi asked Missy. "You gotta phone call from your BOYFRIEND." She answered. "Really? What'd you tell him?" Hitomi cried.
"I told him that you're too busy squeezing out a shit to talk to anybody."
"WHAT?!?"
Missy laughed, "I'm kidding. I told him that you were sleeping and he said he'd call later in the afternoon."
Hitomi sighed in relief. "Oh, and Mom said for you to wake up." Missy added while running out of the room. Hitomi groaned, but got up like the little girl told her to. Before she walked down the hallway, she changed out of her pajamas and put on a pair of jeans. As she walked into the kitchen, she nearly ran into a little boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes.
Hitomi stared at the little boy in confusion. "What? Don't tell me that I have a little brother too." She thought in her head. "Hey Hitomi! My mom said that it was okay for me to come over and play with Missy!" The little boy called out happily. Hitomi nodded and walked towards the kitchen, the little boy following her. "What, is this kid my shadow?" Hitomi asked herself.
Just then Missy ran up, took the little boy's arm, and called, "Let's play outside, Andy!" "Okay!" The little boy said and ran outside with Missy. "Ah, so that's Missy's best friend." Hitomi said out loud. Hitomi poured herself a bowl of cereal and started eating. As she ate, she looked at Missy and Andy playing tag in the backyard. They looked so peaceful. It almost pained Hitomi that she might never see that again.
When she finished eating, both Missy and Andy came into the house, plopped themselves in front of the living room TV, and started watching Yu-Gi-Oh while holding "Duel Monsters" cards in their hands (A/N: Andy is a real person and my sister's best friend. And they both really do sit in the living room watching Yu-Gi-Oh while holding the cards) Her brother in Japan never had a friend that would sit in the living room with him watching Yu- Gi-Oh while holding cards. She would miss that when she had to go home. The telephone rang, so Hitomi picked it up. "Hello?" Hitomi answered into the phone. "Hitomi?" A boy's voice asked. "Hi Shane." Hitomi said.
"Hey, I wanna ask you something."
"Okay, what?"
"There's a dance at the Dance Hall for all high school students. Do you wanna go with me?"
"Okay. Just let me ask my mom first."
Hitomi got an answer from her mom before coming back to the phone.
"My mom said it was okay, Shane."
"Great, I'll pick you up at 7."
"See ya."
Hitomi then hung up the phone.
"Who's Shane?" Andy asked Missy. "Oh, that's Hitomi's boyfriend." Missy answered. Andy pointed at Hitomi and said mockingly, "Ha ha! Hitomi's got a boyfriend." "Yeah, I do." Hitomi told him. Andy stopped for a minute, grunted in defeat, and continued watching Yu-Gi-Oh. Hitomi smiled in triumph and decided to join both Missy and Andy.
Hitomi stared at the TV at 2 big figures and 4 small figures. One of the big figures with an evil face held up a card and said, "I'll play the Change of Heart. It allows me to take one of your cards and turn it against you. And the card I choose is you, Little Yugi!" "No! I refuse!" One of the small figures yelled. "You won't have a choice," the evil figure said, "Once the card is played, I'll have complete control over you." Pictures of Yugi attacking the other small figures were shown being attacked by Yugi (A/N: For some who may know Yu-Gi-Oh, I'm describing the episode where Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Tea, and Bakura are turned into their favorite cards).
Just then, the telephone yet again rang. Sighing, Hitomi got up and picked up the phone. "Hello?" Hitomi said into the phone. "Hey Hitomi. It's me, Joy." A girl's voice said into the phone. "Oh hey Joy. I really appreciate you coming along on my date with me and Shane." Hitomi said sarcastically.
"Oh. Heh heh. Sorry about that. Hey, are you going to the dance at the Dance Hall tonight?"
"Yeah, are you?"
"Yup! With Carlos! Amanda, Nicole, Travis, and Kyle are going too. Is Shane going with you?"
"Uh-huh."
Hitomi and Joy talked for a while longer about the up-coming dance and then hung up.
"Hey Hitomi? Can I go to the dance, too?" Missy asked. "No. You don't have a date and you have to be a high-school student to go." Hitomi answered. "But Andy can be my date and we can pretend we're midgets." Missy whined. "Missy, I'm not taking you to the dance." Hitomi told the little girl. "Fine!" Missy grumbled.
The hours passed and finally, at 7:00, Shane drove up to the house. Hitomi frowned at the clothes she was wearing, but smiled when she saw what Shane was wearing. Both of them were wearing jeans and a shirt. Hitomi smiled, called "Good-bye" to her "family" and walked with Shane to his car. As she sat in the passenger seat, Hitomi heard a small, crunching sound from one of her front pockets.
Hitomi reached into the pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper. Without thinking, Hitomi opened it up and looked at the big, bolded letters that read, "STAY AWAY FROM SHANE HITOMI! I MEAN IT!" "Who keeps sending me these?" Hitomi asked herself. She shrugged and shoved the paper back into the pocket. "What was that?" Shane asked. "Nothing." Hitomi quickly answered.
When they got to the Dance Hall, Hitomi had a vision. When everybody got inside, the Dance Hall would catch on fire and she'd be inside. But she remembered that earlier she watched an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh where Yugi was trapped inside a burning building, so she assumed that it meant nothing. "I have to stop watching Yu-Gi-Oh." Hitomi whispered. At the door, a tall, buff man stood holding a list of names. "Names?" The man asked Hitomi and Shane. "Hitomi Kanzaki and Shane Solomon." Both Hitomi and Shane answered. The man looked on the list of names, saw their names, and said, "Go on in."
Hitomi and Shane walked in and stared in amazement. There were so many colorful decorations and couples. The DJ stood on the stage playing nearly all the music that people requested, both old and new songs. The multi- colored lights colored the room many different colors. Hitomi was having fun in 3 minutes. Hitomi and Shane immediately started dancing.
They were in the middle of their 4th dance when the music suddenly stopped. Everyone stopped dancing and looked around in confusion. A bunch of huge flames began to pile up in the Dance Hall, setting it ablaze. Everyone screamed and headed towards the exit, pushing and shoving each other out of the way just to make it out.
Hitomi was shoved into a wall and kept getting shoved there when she headed towards the exit. She was pretty much trapped. Shane, on the other hand, was luckier than Hitomi. Instead of being shoved into a wall, he was shoved through the exit. Whenever he tried getting back in, he was shoved back. It was like something prevented him from going back inside.
The shoving finally stopped, but Hitomi couldn't get out. Her vision began to blur and smoke filled her lungs. Hitomi started coughing, but got no air, just smoke. She tried her hardest to find the exit with the little vision she had, but her body began to get weaker. She finally couldn't take it anymore and started to fall.
Outside, Shane shoved through the crowd and into the flaming building. The smoke started to block his vision, but he kept going. He had to save Hitomi. He heard her faint coughing and saw her. She took one last cough and started to fall to the ground. Shane quickly grabbed her before she hit the ground and ran out of the building with her before the Dance Hall burned to the ground.
Once outside, Hitomi coughed out the rest of the smoke from her lungs and breathed in the fresh air. Shane and Hitomi's friends started searching her arms, legs, and head for any burns, but found none and sighed in relief. Not far away, a girl stood in the shadows with 2 men.
The girl grumbled, "Damn! I was hoping that I could actually kill that bitch, Hitomi!" She looked at Hitomi's figure then at her own fat, ugly one. "You just wait, Hitomi! I will be getting my revenge sooner than you think." She softly said before leaving for her own home with the two men.
Knowing that Hitomi was fine, Shane drove the girl home so she could rest. As she lay her head on her pillow, she thought of the fire and the notes that were sent to her. Maybe they led to the same person, but she didn't know. She closed her eyes and fell asleep, those same thoughts in her mind.
End Chapter 11
Who is that fat, ugly girl? Why does she hate Hitomi so much? Did she send Hitomi those notes? To find out keep reading the story "Wanna Switch With Me, Hitomi?".
A/N: My town does NOT have a Dance Hall. I just made it have one for a reason that I'll explain later. Okay, here is a little joke for fun (it only stars me and my best friend, Nicole, but oh well):
Kristina is in a room of people.
Kristina: My name is Kristina and I'm a Vanaholic.
Nicole: Kristina, this is our Japanese class.
Kristina: Is it? Or is it that we guys can't admit we have a problem?
***********************
Oh, and in case you were wondering, a Vanaholic is what I call a person that LOVES Van. So I guess I really AM a Vanaholic. Oh, and I forgot to tell you this: Shane's last name is NOT Solomon. I just didn't wanna use his real last name.
