Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do own the Escaflowne soundtrack, bwahahahaha
Hitomi Kanzaki was on her way home for the weekend; it was a warm summer day as she sprinted down the sidewalk. Amano had left the country, but her love for him had diminished quickly ever since she was told that Van loved her. She smiled seeing Van in her mind, oh how she missed him, she wished to see him again, but she had to stay here and finish High School first. A light blush sprinkled her cheeks as she smiled and continued puffing and pumping her arms as she ran towards her house, which was just around the corner.
She stumbled through the door as she gasped,
"I'm home!"
Of course, no one else was home, her mother was at work and her little brother was still in school. She sighed and dropped her 100lb backpack and walked up the stairs towards her bedroom. Once she entered she was overwhelmed to be home at last, she leapt onto her bed and lay sprawled against the intricate patterned quilt. Her eyes closed as she whispered softly through her parted lips, "Oh Van…. I miss you…."
There was a soft sound…like the gentle ring of a wind chime…but this sound was different…she had heard it before! She sat upright and bolted into reality looked around her room for a trace of Van or any other magical sign. But her hope dimmed, as she saw nothing but her bedroom surroundings. She was just about to curl up under her bed covers until something white caught her eye. It was a feather! One if Van's feathers! She extended her arm and touched the soft feather with the tips of her fingers until it disappeared with a shimmer of sparkles. He's calling…calling for he to return to Gaae!
She gasped as a pillar of blue light encased her as she began to lift off of the bed. Her pupils dilated as she heard herself whisper, "I'm going back…to Gaae."
