AMBER & EMERALD
Author's note:
Hi, welcome to Amber & Emerald! I am Celon Ierith. This is my first fanfic, so please don't blame for my inexperience. For some notes: this is an Esca fanfic with all characters on Earth. Perhaps with a little V/H, though most will be action. For Allen's fans, this is not the best place for you.
At last: please READ & REVIEW!
Disclaimer: The Vision of Escaflowne is not mine, otherwise I won't be writing fanfics here.
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTIONS
"Hitomi! Wait for me!"
The girl whose name was called immediately stopped her pace, letting her red-haired best friend to catch up with her. "Hell, Yukari, you're such a slow one," Hitomi Kanzaki commented sarcastically.
"Excuse me, but I'm not in the track team. It is normal if my pace is slower than yours, oh-Hitomi-the-star-of-the-team," Yukari Uchida snapped back, her breath still shallow and sweats still running down her flushed face.
"Whatever you say, Manager."
There was a short pause before they burst into laughter. Yukari wiped a tear of mirth from the corner of her eye, slapping Hitomi on the back. "Oh, I don't know you can be that snappy, Hitomi!" she managed to choke out before falling into another fit of laughter.
"Well, I have my battling partner. We usually meet every Friday, Saturday, or Monday. Once a week at least," Hitomi said, grinning.
"Mm, today is Friday. Are you sure that your meetings aren't dates?" Yukari asked coyly. Hitomi felt as if she had nearly fainted when she heard the question, and she reluctantly put one hand on Yukari's forehead, stopping her best friend.
"What's the matter, Hitomi?" Yukari said in shock.
Instead of answering, Hitomi pulled back her hand and questioned her, "Are you sure you are fine, Yukari?"
"Absolutely."
"And how on Earth, Heaven, and Hell can you leap into the suggestion that I'm dating the worst enemy I have ever had? He is my speech-battling partner. We have discussed this before, haven't we?" Hitomi frowned, her eyebrows forming a V.
"Whatever you say, Hitomi," Yukari sighed. "You are so secretive about this speech-battling partner of yours. Who is he actually?"
"No comment," Hitomi grinned, though feeling the familiar pang of guilt she had known for long for keeping such secret towards her best friend.
"Fine. Keep your secret." Yukari pouted. "Just tell me, are you going to meet him today?"
"No," Hitomi replied. "Perhaps tomorrow."
Yukari eyed her suspiciously, something that Hitomi purposely ignored, yet then let the subject passed.
Van Slanzar de Fanel walked into his secret working room, sighing at the sight of the blueprint of Aston Museum. He had to study it in one night, for tomorrow he would do his mission.
His thought fell to 'the girl'. 'Another encounter, I guess. Hell, she is getting snappy lately. What does she call me? Speech-battling partner, eh? She hates me because I always manage to escape from her. '
He shook his head hard and started to study the blueprint, a grin forming on his lips.
TO BE CONTINUED TO CHAPTER 2
Okay, this one is a little confusing, perhaps. Don't worry, everything will be revealed one by one in the following chapters. I can't make any guess for when the next chapter will be posted though, 'cause I'm still at school… Well, see you!
