This is my first fan-fic so be nice okay?
Well... Here's a summary: Hitomi Kanzaki has been away from Gaea for three years. She had intended to come back to a normal life and not think much of Van. People less notice her lately. Her friend Yukari is gone with Amano in England because they are very much a couple. Hitomi now is away from her family; she lives by herself and works.
I have to point out the most important change I made.
I added a character: Sarah Kataryne. (Who only exists in Escaflowne in MY STORIES! No where else.)
She was with Hitomi most of her trip to Gaea. Her story is a lone Knight who's family died and sister disappeared. She has a love for Hitomi as a friend. She met her when they came to Allen. She is found out later as to be half- draconian like Van and is the leader a group of forest dragon knights.
She has one power: Mystic healing. She was also a great swordsgirl and she has a Guymelef of her own.
Disclaimer: ...I *Sniff *...don't *sniff *...own Escaflowne! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
=============================
Tick Tock...Tick Tock...
Hitomi Kanzaki sighed. She came back to her house from a hard job, and stared Eye to eye with a red and white Japanese fighting fish.
"Hey there V..." She said to her fish.
She had Gotten V as a present from her brother when she left the house. Staring at the fish with its white fins gracefully feeling the waters reminded her of an old friend. Hitomi once more sighed and frowned while looking up at the sky. She saw above her Gaea and remembers back to when she had first meet Van shlanzar De Fanel.
"I miss you...I wonder if you remember me...?" she said quietly to herself.
A few minutes later she was at the table of her tiny kitchen and was sipping on some tea...when suddenly a dark figure rushed to her house.
She only got a glimpse of one thing.... A Sword!
"Was it...Could it be?" she ran to the door and heard a banging noise.
She threw the door open...to reveal a breathless figure kneeling over out of exhaustion. The person raised their face to meet Hitomi...and Hitomi Gasped...
"It's you!"
~@~@~@~@~
"Hitomi!" cried Sarah. She stood at the door panting.
"Sarah! What are you doing here! How could you've gotten here?"
"That..." Sarah puffed and tried to catch her breath
"Is why I came here." said Sarah still breathless.
"Do you need to sit down?" Hitomi asked while still in shock, because this should be impossible for Sarah to even be here.
Sarah gratefully took a seat and the small table. And after a few minutes caught her breath.
"Hitomi...there is something I need to tell you." Said Sarah with nothing but seriousness in her eyes.
"Okay...but first how did you get here? Is it really...I mean...how?" said Hitomi.
Hitomi had nothing but questions going through her head, and only one made it's way through...she had to know how Sarah got here.
"That's what I came to tell you...and I have something else you must know."
"What?" Hitomi said realizing that there was something wrong with how Sarah was acting.
"It's about Van." and Hitomi gasped.
~@~@~@~@~
"What happened? Is he okay?"
Hitomi's face flooded with worry and her emerald eyes swirled wide with fear.
"You had better listen to the whole story." Sarah said forcing her face to show less worry to calm Hitomi.
"You have been gone a long time Hitomi...after you left...all of Gaea began to show peace and happiness...especially Fanelia. Many kings were full of love for money or battle and cared very little for life...But Van was nothing like that. He cared for his people and over the years became a strong leader." Hitomi couldn't help but interrupt with worry and fear getting stronger
"But Sarah...how is this...?"
"Hitomi...I know you're anxious...but please restrain yourself...I'm getting there." And with a new breath, Sarah continued
"After everything was repaired...the sun seemed brighter again. We were all happy...until one day." Sarah's face suddenly became dark with anger and sorrow
"Zaibach...how that name is cursed...it...it's back Hitomi. Zaibach is back."
Hitomi realized the seriousness of this...But who could be leading them? With Folken and Dornkirk dead...Who was left?
"Sarah...who's leading Zaibach?"
Sarah sighed and turned to Hitomi.
"Nobody...yet."
"What do you mean...yet?" Said Hitomi still not understanding
"There are the scientists...they weren't killed and to add to it...I think they have found someone who can take control."
"Who?" Hitomi asked confused.
"Dilandau." Sarah said with a stony expression.
"W-w-w-what? How did they...?"
"They created him once...they can do it again...but they need Celena's help...they realized making him in her was a mistake."
"But to explain...I'll continue on what came about. You see...some spies didn't trust the peace and kept an eye on things. The minute we suspected war by Zaibach again...There were two names that came up. Things that could help us were suggested...and the first to come up was...You Hitomi."
And Sarah looked at Hitomi to let it sink in. Hitomi looked back in surprise and started to say something but couldn't so Sarah continued.
"But Van wouldn't have it."
Hitomi was surprised before, but now she was not only surprised but also puzzled. Hitomi's thoughts were racing still confused...If that wasn't why Sarah was here...then why?
Seeing Hitomi's expression Sarah continued to explain.
"You know Hitomi." Hitomi turned from her thoughts to Sarah. "Every single time someone would mention asking your help I could see Van fighting with himself...He wanted to get your help and he wanted to see you again but..."
Hitomi waited for Sarah to continue.
"But what?" Hitomi thought impatiently.
"But He knew that you hated war and wouldn't let you go through that again, not when there was a possibility of war...he wouldn't ask you to go through that again for all of Gaea."
Hitomi sat in silence *Van. * She thought
"The other name was...Escaflowne...But again Van refused, He had said that his brother wanted a world without anybody needing Escaflowne."
"The people even more suggested Escaflowne because of wanting to see their king triumph in battle." Sarah explained.
"Anyway, we went to the battlefield. Allen had Celena transported to Austuria because she was staying in Fanelia at the time...Everyone of my Knights were there...They were all ready to defend Fanelia and her king to the death, because they knew how strong friends Van and I are."
"They admired Van and each respected him as much as they did me. They loved Fanelia as their home land and were ready to defend it at all costs and then the Battle began..."
Sarah's eyes began to seem lost and far away. Hitomi could tell that Sarah was reliving the battle itself in her mind as if it was happing at that very moment.
"Millions of Guymelefs poured onto the field...we fought them off as best we could. Van kept being surrounded. He would slash one and two more would take its place...I ran to him to throw a few off him but...of all the stupidest things I have ever done in my life...I tripped. I had my Guymelef up in a flash, but not fast enough...three soldiers blocked my way."
Sarah was now shaking and Pain shot through her eyes as she continued.
"I took them down quickly...but as I did, Van's blue Guymelef fell to the ground and Van was unconscious. I ran...but they piled on him and I was left to watch helplessly as they flew back to the fortress.."
Hitomi's eyes widened.
"They took him Hitomi...They kidnapped Van!"
" B-b-b-but...How did you get here...You need my pendant...And I gave it to Van." Said Hitomi still reeling from shock.
"Well that's just it...the day when we were to go out into battle...Van was silent all day, except one time. When we were getting ready for battle." Sarah's face became even darker with sorrow
"He asked to speak to me alone...he handed me your pendant asking me to hold onto it, and said "If anything happens to me...I want you to take care of this and find Hitomi." and then he left."
Hitomi finally understood.
"After Van was taken I rode Escaflowne and used you pendant to come here."
Hitomi became even quieter
"Hitomi...Zaibach is known now for its cruelty and they hate Van for getting in the way. Hitomi, I don't want to ask your help, because I know you hate war...but..." Hitomi suddenly became furious
"What are you talking about?! Van is in danger! How could I not help?" Hitomi looked at Sarah with such determination that Sarah realized that a stampede of Dragons couldn't have kept Hitomi from going!
Sarah nodded and prepared to led Hitomi to were she had set Escaflowne down and Hitomi grabbed her bag and Jacket and everything she would need and followed Sarah to the Guymelef, But Sarah stopped Hitomi from getting on
"Hitomi, wait...you forgot this." And held up Hitomi's pendant.
Hitomi thanked Sarah and hung it around her neck. Hitomi stepped on and a column of bright pink light flashed from the heavens to carry them away.
They appeared on Gaea as the sun began to rise showering the world in a fiery glow. Escaflowne took flight and off they were, with Sarah as the pilot they flew to the Zaibach fortress with great speed. The dragon angrily tore through the sky as if somehow knowing that its master was in trouble.
Hitomi could think of only one thing "Van I'm coming!" Hitomi shouted to the wind.
