I'M SORRRRRRYY! I had a holiday to the other side of the world! Namely Cornwall. I went and followed the ancient way of the surfer chick...Pay attention grass hopper, and you shall learn well.
All of my signed reveiwers should have recived a reply, If not I'm really sorry! It might be since my msn is buggered at the moment!
Well were back to Hitomi's veiw!
Disclaimer: If I owned Escaflowne, the series would be seriously retarded, just for fun!
Warning: Hitomi's got a bad mouth on her, but not as bad as Dilandau's. He's one big potty mouth!
Oh, fucking hell, I'm sooooo happy I didn't drink last night. Yukari has been on auto-pilot for the last three hours, so technically since she woke up. But, I suppose its better to be on auto-pilot at work, unless your working with the actual music stars, otherwise your like Yukari and myself, Yukari does all the concert booking (and gets us tickets!) and I do most of Vans paper work.
Though I haven't been for the best part of the last hour. Van has been emailing me and we've been having an 'off-work' conversation. Ooo, here's one now:
"Hey Babe,
Glad you got my note. I'm sorry I wasn't home. I think I'll take this evenning off, and I'll take you to dinner? The Austurian resturant has just opened down town. Want to take a look?"
Sweet isn't he? He didn't always use to be like this.
Flashback
"Hey, your the new kid, aren't you?" Maroon eyes sharply turned, as his head cocked to one side.
"And what if I am? Is it a matter of importance to you?" The group of teens surrounded the one boy in the middle, There had to be at least eight of them, one obviously giving the orders and speaking.
"Well, it is because, if you are the new kid, the rumours say that your folks are pretty well off, and, to be honest, we're pretty broke at the moment, and we know that you will help us" He smirked.
"What makes you think my old geezer will help you pay your bar tab?" The boy had a strong, firm stance, and didn't falter for a moment. Showing that the gang had succeded in intimidating him, was a fatal move in situations like these. "I don't know, so your sayin' that your old man's too tight to give you some cash for a good cause? Van?" Van nodded.
"The geezer is pretty damn tight on these things, ya know?"
A pattering of quick footsteps came up behind Van, and a high voice reached their ears.
"Hey, Van, I knew you'd be here! The cards told me th-" She stopped as she saw the company that Van had. They turned to her, and back to Van. "This your bitch Vanny boy? I think we should let her in on everything aswell, Pete, Zak, go." The boy ran over to the girl and grabbed her arms.
Van growled. "You let her go, she has nothing to do with this!" The gang leader smirked. "But that would be mean!" Van reached exploding point. He manouvered behind two of the cronies, and smashed their heads together, the others, realising they were being assulted, beganto try and pathetically fight back, you know, two of them run head on, all Van had to do was take two steps to the left and they ran straight into each other.
This small fight that began thirteen to one, not including their 'hostage' and the number of people on the larger gang depleted quickly. There was only two left, the 'leader' left a long time ago. Chicken. The last two were the cronies who had grabbed the girl. As soon as they saw how quickly their comrades had fallen, the dropped and ran.
The girl smiled "Awwww, you nearly got the shit beaten out of you just so I could go home with all my teath!" Van rolled his eyes. "Actually, I didn't want them to beat the shit out of you and then blame it on me because it would cause havoc for me" She continued to smile. "No, it was because I'm your 'omly' friend!" He glared "No, your my little follower, now go away!"
End flashback
It took him forever to warm up to me, and, well, it just took off from there I suppose. Hey, I don't recognise this e-mail : pyro4eversobeit(1)? Don't recognise that one... Hmmmm, what does it say?
"Heya, Babe.
Yea I know ya gonna kill me for that, but it is your fault for not telling me who you be."
Your kidding me. How does he know?
"Your wondering how I got your e-mail? Heh, I'm myself, I can get any info on anyone. You should know that! Well, anyway, to the point, would you, withthis boy-friend you workor not, like to come with the guys with me to our weekly poker/darts night? Its next tuesday, at the Alseides obviously. So..um, write back? I know your reading this, 'cause your at work.
Oh yeah, because you used to sing and all, (yes it is obvious) what do you think of these lyrics?
V1
There she stands,
A heavenly angel in black coat,
Immortal beauty radiating from,
Her elegant face,
The face that to this very day,
Lights up my pointless existence
Chorus
Silent agony!
Where is the angel for whom,
My love is undying?
The angel who elevates me,
Above the pains of the past
V2
The pains of the past,
Rip up my mind with ice cold blades,
But the beautiful angel,
Whose love i forever seek,
Rescues me from the death,
That pulls my soul down
Chorus - As before
V3
Time itself holds no boundaries
For the love i so willingly give,
To you - the angel who lights up my life
And now, you girl i love so dear,
Always remember that i love you for all time,
Even though i'm just a shadow in your imagination
Chorus - As before
V4
Your blissful embrace,
Removes the scars of tragedies gone by,
And if i become a memory past,
Let me fade back to the abyss,
Because without you my life means nothing,
You girl i love with all my heart
Its about Gatti's girlfriend (or ex, I can't ever remeber) We haven't got a name for it yet, any ideas?(2)
Your chum, Dilandau"
Woah. That was scary. I'll ask Van. It'll give me another reason to reply to his email.
"Heya Van,
I'd love to go to that new place downtown! Does it serve traditional Austurian food? I think that bar tender at the Alseides who Milerna is crushing on is from Austuria, I think she is aswell!
Are you working next tuesday? Because, while I was out last night, I met Dilandau from the Slayers, and he's offered for us to go with them on their poker-night thingy. Want to go? They seem like nice people."
Sent.
Should I? or shouldn't I?
Fuck it. I shall go. With or without Van. I mean, he trusts me enough to go out with guys, who are friends, right? And if he doesn't, well, that's another secret to hide.
"Hitomi, you have an e-mail, click 'read' to open it, or click 'later' and read it when you are not busy"
Hehehehehehehe. My computer is the best, I managed to get it to say that whenever I got an e-mail through months of messing around and having to ring up the people at the computer store about a million times, they started to hang up on me.
Not a good thing at the best of times. Well I better read it. Its probably from Van. He types fast, and gets that giant stack of paperwork done as well. So I click the 'read' button and another window opens up with a message from DraconianWings007, AKA, Van.
"You met them?
They're pretty cool aren't they? Yeah, I'm free...I think. Tell them that we are comming, okay? Do you remember how to play darts? I know you can play poker, I found out the hard way. You cost me a hell of a lot Kanzaki!"
Ahhh. I let out a sigh of satisfaction. I remember that night, it was so very funny. So right now, I'm sending a reply to my 'chum' Dilandau. I'm still not telling him my name.
"Hitomi, you have an e-mail, click 'read' to open it, or click 'later' and read it when you are not busy"
Oh shit.
Its from her. That evil woman who brought me into this world.
"What does she want now?"
Hmmm. I must have said that out loud and in a moaning voice, 'cause people are staring...again.
Blah-di-blah. Blah blah blah. Shite. She wants me to go to this 'Family Reunion' where I will 'See people I haven't seen in years'
Yeah. Like I want to spend the day with old people comming up to me saying; "My, haven't you grown!" and having to restrain myself from answering back; "Yes, and there is a simple reason for that, and that is because people grow. Grow being the technical term"
Instead I have to smile and nod.
Do I really have to go?
Aha. Dilandaus sent back.
"7:30, Alseides, tuesday. See you there babe"
I think I'm gonna scream.
Heh, for those who didn't notice, this is chappie 3.2! So yeah, in English (which I totally suck at) its revised
I found a mistake in this chapter the first time I did it, plushies for those who reaslised!
(1) pyro4eversobeit is not an email. If you put yahoo or aol or hotmail on the end it wouldn't come up with anything...so don't try it...or else
(2) I actually have no idea what this song is called, any ideas?
That little purplebutton at the bottom is there for a reason, click it!
