Once again, kudos to those who review! Thanks! You people rock.

Animecrazed: I am glad you like the suspense. Uh...if you don't like R rated stuff...Umm then don't read: My painful memory by thunder mistress. It starts out cool...but gets bad fast. I don't personally like that kind of stuff. I think it's sweet like it is...you don't need to make it bad.

Lyra Eyota: Glad you liked it! I didn't like the ending to Escaflowne either. It just...I love VH and I was so mad that they would do that to them. Hitomi with wings. Hehehe...I guess it's out of the bag. That was what I was stressing about a lot. I also had a lot of other things bothering me...But I didn't know how to do it. Of course my bizarre imagination saw to that.

Btw I love opinions from anybody! When I get a review, My face lights up! I mean it! I love it, you guys have been so nice to me...I had no idea that things would go this well. Well, lets get going! (Sqeekers! I have news for you! Here's where you get your answer!)

Disclaimer: Look! I don't own the show! This wouldn't be a fan fiction if I did! If I owned Escaflowne, it would end happy!

Sarah: This chapter is called "We three angels!"

(R&R when you are through please!)

Recap: Hitomi's grip on the wall slipped and she fell. Sarah raced over, but stopped, frozen by the sight in front of her. White wings.....Hitomi's white wings.

~@~@~@~@~

Hitomi looked behind herself in horror. She was dreaming. She must be. It was the only thing that made sense. Hitomi's shock caused her to faint. Sarah flew down just before she hit the ground. She flapped the enormous angel wings on her back and got the sleeping girl back to the part of roof that still stood. *Hitomi...this is impossible. Well I... * But Sarah's thoughts were interrupted by a very shocked raven-haired boy.

~@~@~@~@~

Van's POV *Ugh! I can't sleep. Hmm...I wonder how Hitomi is. She's probably sleeping in her bed with a happy dream. * He sighed, wishing he could be so lucky. *I might as well practice. It'll make me tired, and then I will have to sleep! * Van heard a loud noise of something falling and heard a yell. He raced to the steps and went up them to see Sarah, wings spread. This of course was not unusual to Van, just not an often occurrence. He was even about to say hi or something when he saw what was in Sarah's arms. Hitomi. Hitomi with wings jetting out of her back. Van froze, in disbelief.

~@~@~@~@~

Sarah looked at Van and appeared if she had been caught doing something wrong. * Perfect! * She thought sarcastically *Another person who needs an explanation, which, I can't give. *

"Hi Van...how are you these days?" Van gave Sarah a blank stare in pure terrified surprise. "I know Van...I know." "Help me carry her down stairs would you?"

Van nodded coming out of his trance. Van and Sarah carried the girl down the steps.

Van was still shocked *Hitomi...how is it possible? Why do you have wings? You aren't a draconian...are you? * He stared at her white wings. They looked so...beautiful. Van had always thought his wings a curse...*but now... *

Sarah and Van sat Hitomi on the bed and she woke up. "Sarah? Van? What? I had this amazing dream tha..." Sarah was shaking her head.

"What?"

"Hitomi...That wasn't a dream...lest, we are all dreaming...look behind you."

Hitomi turn her attention to her back, and her eyes fell upon two, soft, white wings that glowed in the moonlight, peeping through the windows to see the young angel. "This...can be happening."

"But it IS Hitomi." Said Sarah strongly.

"How? How do you...have wings?" Van asked still seemingly in a good coma with how much he talked anyway.

"I...don't know." And Hitomi retracted them.

Sarah looked up. Her thoughts jolted. She remembered something. Some scientists in Zaibach had been discussing genetics. She saw some charts that had some strange labels and even saw in their files that they had taken blood samples from Van! She didn't know why on earth they had done that. But now she did. It was plain as day, the pain Hitomi had in her back. The thing she fell on was...

"I know." Sarah said quietly, and both heads turned to face her.

~@~@~@~@~

"You know?" They said in unison.

"Yes. Hitomi, Do you remember falling down in Zaibach?"

"Yes. I remember something sharp pierced my back."

"It was a needle. I remember seeing it. I think I now know what was going on."

"What?" Van asked, unable to bare the silence.

"Van? Did they take blood samples from you?"

"Yes...but I don't see how..." It suddenly dawned on the two, what Sarah was getting at.

"Zaibach has tempered with living subjects...changing them...like Naria and Eyria or Celena."

They stared at her, still in disbelief.

"That needle had...genetically altered draconian blood in it."

~@~@~@~@~

(Now I am sorry to say that they didn't reflect on that subject a lot. I am going to have them go to bed.)

Sarah had gone to bed. (See?) But Van decided to stay a little while and think. (Well..uh..) Van stared at the dark sky that matched his hair, except for the glimmering stars and two moons of course.

"Van?" Called the sandy haired girl.

"Oh, Hitomi." *I thought she went to bed. *

" Are you thinking?"

"Uh huh."

" What about?"

"...A lot of things...About my past...and my..." Van couldn't seem to finish the thought. *Curse... * He thought.

"Your what?"

"...curse." He said quietly.

Hitomi actually laughed. Van stared blankly at her. *She's laughing? Why in Gaea is she laughing? * Hitomi smiled with a gentle glow and said softly,

"You mean your wings, don't you?" She said, starting to become a little more serious.

Van only nodded.

"Van..." Hitomi began, blushing slightly. "I don't think your wings are a curse...I remember that day you saved me."

~Flash back~ (please don't kill me.. I know I have too many! I'm sorry.)

A large rumble tore through the ground as the white dragon flew through the sky. Two girls clung to a wall, a brown headed teen and a pink haired cat girl. The teen slipped from her grasp and slid down rock. Her were arms hanging useless, unable to stop her. "HITOMI!" The boy with the ebony locks yelled. He flew over to the crack, watching the strange girl fall. He ripped his blood red shirt over his unruly shadow colored hair. He dove headfirst into the bottomless chasm. With his arms out from his side, white wings flowed from his back. His decent began to slow as he reached the girl below. (More verses that I hope don't annoy you people.) Her tree-green eyes widened in awe, as she stared at the glowing figure before her. "You're an angel..." The girl exclaimed before blacking out.

~End of flash back~

Hitomi had one more thing to say. "As I said...that day... I do really...like your wings and I do think they're beautiful." Hitomi muttered the last part with a very red face. This was exactly the same embarrassing feeling she felt when she said that the first time. *My face has to be the color of a cherry right now. * Hitomi thought.

Van smiled. He remembered that day as well as Hitomi. She had been told all he knew about his wings, his family, and his curse. She probably knew more than he did, with abilities like hers. She actually said his wings were beautiful, long before she had her own. (I LUV VAN'S WINGS! YAY! ^ ^U Sorry...couldn't help it.) She had always been so loving and kind...She was always able to get him out of his dark moods...He had to say something! He had to tell her that!

*Come on! If you care so much, tell her! * His mind screamed at him. *But what if... * He tried to argue. *No what ifs! Now! Tell her how you REALLY feel! * It yelled. *Okay! I'll...I'm gonna tell her. * He took a breath and gathered his courage to tell her.

"Hitomi?"

"Yes Van?" She said with a pleasant smile.

*Oh, come on! * The voice from his head yelled again. *I'm trying...it's just...it so hard with...her staring at me that way...I can shoot my mouth off and say something stupid...but when it comes to something like this... *

Van was leaning towards Hitomi so their faces got close.

"T-there...is something...I want to...tell you." *Nice job, prince charming! Now say it already! * *Shut up! I'm trying to! * (More arguing. /sigh/ Van just can't get along with himself.)

Hitomi stared, with her face regaining redness. *Is he going to? No...but...is he? Van... *
