Chap 10- spendin' the night at van's and dealing with annoying people.

Disclaimer: I do not own Escaflowne. If I did, I wouldn't be writing fanfics. (

"Yo! Ma! We're back!!" van called into the door.

"We?" varie asked as she came walking out of the kitchen.

"My! Hitomi! Are you spending the night with us?" vaire asked smiling lovingly at hitomi.

"Yes Varie. Is it ok?" hitomi asked.

"Why of course!!! You're pratically family now!" varie said smiling.

"Van, show her to the guest room please, while I'll get you two a snack." Varie said.

"Sure thing ma, c'mon 'tomi." Van lead hitomi upstairs to the guest room, only to find it already taken.

"Hey van! Where were you?" folken asked smiling. Van just stared and then walked out, slamming the door behind him.

"You can sleep in my room." van said gently.

"Okay…" hitomi said.

"Here, 'I'll sleep on the floor, you take the bed." Van said getting a. inflatable mattress from the closet.

"No, no don't bother!" hitomi said quickly. Van stared at her.

"H-hitomi? What are you talking about?' van asked. Hitomi blushed.

"i-I, you don't need to sleep on the floor, we can share..." she mumbled. "Are you sure hitomi?" van asked.

"Yes, I know you won't hurt me..." hitomi said smiling softly at him.

"Van? Hitomi?" vaire called from outside of the door. Vann opened the door for her and varie came in holding a tray of snacks and drinks.

"Here you go you two. Now van, don't go to sleep to late, tomorrow's school." Varie said in her motherly tone.

"Don'ta vorrie vaire, I'l make sure lil vannie poo goes to bed on time." Hitomi said.

"Thank you hitomi, well I guess I'll-OH!" varie gasped.

"What ma?" van asked.

"I almost forgot. Hitomi, your brother is here." Varie said. Van and hitomi sweatdropped.

"Ahh…okay varie" hitomi said.

"Well, then good night!" varie said before leaving the two alone. "Sooooo…what do you wanna do?" van asked.

"Got any good movies?" hitomi asked.

"Ummm…I think I do..." van said searching through his collection. Hitomi smiled at him and gracefully walked over to him. She rested her head on his back and placed her arms around his waist.

"Mmm…I love you van…" hitomi said. Van placed his hands over hers and said

"I love you too hitomi. Forever and ever." Van turned around so he was facing hitomi. He got up and lowered his head until their lips met in a hot and passionate kiss. Van deepened the kiss, his tongue entering her mouth tasting her. He swooped hitomi into his arms and carried her to his bed and gently placed her on the mattress. Her eyes were still closed, for some odd reason.

"Hitomi?" van whispered. No response.

"Hitomi!?" van asked again, worry etching in his voice. Still no response. Van looked carefully at Hitomi. Her breathing was even.

'S-s-she's…sleeping.' Van thought as he sweatdropped. How the hell does one share a kiss, only to fall dead asleep 5 seconds later!? Oh well.

'Better pack up for the night myself' van thought as he pictured his mother and Hitomi scolding him for not going to bed on time. He shuddered. Just the mere thought of them two ganging up on him was enough to make him quiver. Sighing, he climbed in, next to Hitomi and soon fell into a dreamless sleep.

Hitomi woke up in van's arms and immediately panicked.

'Oh dear God! Did we do anything last night!? I don't remember…I just remember kissing him, then that's it…oh dear God I-'Hitomi stopped her internal ramblings when she noticed that all of her clothes were still on. She peeked over at van and saw him wearing a shirt. She breathed a sigh of relief.

'Thank God…I don't wish to have sex until I'm married…' she thought. She attempted to move, but van just tightened his grip on her. "Mmm…where do ya think you're going? We still have time..." van murmured, still half asleep.

"No, we don't van. C'mon, I don't wanna have detention again. I'm already booked for the month." hitomi said.

"Great! At least I won't be alone!" van said getting up. The two quickly showered, got dressed and went downstairs.

"Hey bro!" folken said to van.

"Shove it." Van said.

"c'mon van, can't you just forgive me?" folken said hurt.

"no." was all van said before leaving the house with hitomi.

"Van? Are you okay?" hitomi asked concerned. Van looked at her but didn't say anything. Instead he just pulled her into a sweet kiss.

"I am whenever I'm with you." He said. So the two headed for the lovely hell-hole known as school.

Dilandau was walking up to the school gates, when a girl bumped into him.

"Yo! Watch where ya going!" he screamed. The girl just turned to him, her cerulean eyes not blinking.

'Hmmm. Cerulean blue eyes? Where have I seen those before?' dilandau wondered. But he was soon shaken out of his thoughts when he was suddenly tackled to the ground. "WHAT THE HELL!?" he screamed. The girl had knocked him down in an air-stopping hug.

"OH MY GOD!!!! YOU ARE JUST AS CUTE AS I THOUGHT YOU'D BE!!!" she squealed, rubbing her face against his.

"W-w-what the hell?" dilandau stuttered as he tried to comprehend what was happening. Then he realized what the girl was doing.

"WOAH, WOAH! GET OFFA ME!!!" he screamed as he shoved her off roughly, glaring at her. "Who the hell do you think you are?!" he demanded. His eyes went from intimidating, to scared out of his pants. "W-why a-are you l-looking a-a-at me l-l-like t-t-that?!" he stuttered. Her eyes were all sparkly and it looked as if she was in 'fan girl' mode.

"EEK!!! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S YOU!!!" she shrieked. Dilandau covered his ears.

"Damn it bitch. Would you stop shrieking!?" he demanded. The girl only giggled. Suddenly, she pulled out a paper pad and a pen. Where she was hiding it, dilly had no clue.

"Can I have your autograph!?" she asked. Dilandau just stared at her disbelieving.

"What the fuck?" he said bluntly.

"I said,-

"I know what you said! I just wanna know why the fuck you want It." he said, just staring at her bluntly. The girl giggled psychotically.

"Hehe. Because I'm a MAJOR fan of you. I've heard ALL about you. And I want your autograph." She said, as her eye began to twitch scarily.

"Who the hell are you?" dilly asked. The girl smiled psycho-like.

"Give me an autograph and you'll find out." she said, holding out the pad and paper, eye still twitching. Dillandau scoffed.

"I don't have time for wenches like you. I gotta go." He said as he pulled himself from the floor and began to walk away. Suddenly, he felt two arms wrap around his neck, chocking him.

"Not until I get my autograph!" she said in a sing-song voice.

"gasp get off of me, you BITCH!" he screamed as he tossed her over his shoulder and onto the floor.

"Ow…that's wasn't very nice." The girl said matter-of-factly. Dilandau just grinned like a maniac.

"Hehe…bitch, say hello to my lighter." He said as he pulled out a red lighter. Nobody touched him, got within a 5 mile radius of him, hugged him, and left without some part burnt. Except for maybe Hitomi. He grinned again and walked predator-like to her. Suddenly, a voice called out.

"DILLY!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!??!?!" Hitomi hollered as she and van walked lazily up to the school. Hitomi peered to see an eye-twitching girl on the floor and dilly holding a lighter.

"Oh! Hey 'tomi! Just about to burn some wench."

"Why?" Hitomi asked, chewing some gum.

"cuz she: tackled me to the ground, hugged me pratically to death, had the nerve to even come within a 5 mile radius of me, she asked for my autograph, and…cuz I feel like it." he said. Hitomi's eyes furrowed in confusion.

"Ok. You go do that." with that, she and van left for homeroom. Dillandau turned to the still eye-twitching girl.

"Say hello to Vesta. I think you'll get along with her just fine." Dilandau said with a maniacal look on his face. Suddenly, he heard somebody calling.

"Celena!! Where are you!?" the girl smiled.

"Over here!" a figure came into view. It was Allen.

"There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you! We have to get you settled. What are you doing on the floor?" Allen asked. The girl, named celena grinned.

"Hey brother! Meet Dill- she stopped short when she realized that it was only she and her brother standing outside.

"What is it, celena?" Allen asked as he helped her up. The girl just smiled.

"Nothing!" she chirped as she and her brother walked inside.

'I'll get my autograph…that's for sure'. She thought with a slight chuckle.

"Something funny?" Allen asked.

Meanwhile dillandau was hiding behind a tree.

'So she's Shezar's sister, eh? No wonder the eyes looked alike…hmm…this is interesting…I can have fun with both of them…' dilandau thought as a grin appeared on him. Face. Taking out his lighter he flicked it on and off.

"Hello Vesta…I think you're gonna be burning a whole lot more hair that usual."

Van and hitomi were bored. And the bad thing was dillandau hadn't showed up yet, so no pretty fire distractions.

"Ugh…I'm so bored…" hitomi groaned as she laid her head on van's shoulder.

"Me too…" van said as he kissed the top of her head. Half of the class gasped. Even the teacher.

"Hitomi and van?"

"Weird."

"Does that make him the new co-leader?"

"Yeah, there hasn't been one since Midnight..." some whispered. Van looked to see hitomi's face pale.

"co-leader?" van asked. he had never heard of that before, despite being a full fledged rebel himself. He had an idea, but he wasn't positive.

"Yeah…before he…" she trailed off. "I've worked solo ever since." She finished.

"What about dilandau?" van asked. A smile tugged against her lips.

"Dilly? Would you trust him in running a school? He's great, but, no…he doesn't want that position…he prefers to be the Threatener." Hitomi said.

"You make it sound like it's some sort of business." Van joked. "wasn't like that back in Astoria. Basically, it was just going against rules and stuff like that."

"it is here ….to see who has the most control…that's what it is all about…and I'm not gonna let midnight win." Hitomi said with a glint in her eyes.

"Win?" van asked confused.

"It's like a game, except the stakes are higher van. The person with the most people under their leadership wins." Hitomi explained.

"Wins what?" Van asked.

"Respect, pride, and dignity. And of course the title as the most feared of all…it is a big title to have van..." hitomi said.

"So anybody can be apart of this little thingy?" van asked.

"No. only people who have been involved in gangs, have a reputation and being a well-known rebel, or people who are just plain good at fighting." Hitomi finished.

"So, since I'm your boyfriend, a rebel, does that make me eligible?" van joked.

"It's not funny van. This is a serious matter… and yes, you would be eligible." Hitomi said seriously.

"Really?" van asked.

"Yes…and I want to ask you something. Would you be interested in being my co-leader?" she asked.

"Co-leader? What's that? I've heard of the term, but not in detail." van asked.

"Simple. We run the school together. Usually it's a couple or siblings, so it should be ok." Hitomi said.

"Sure, I guess" van agreed.

"Great!" hitomi smiled.

"EXCUSS ME!!!!! KANZAKI AND FANEL!!! PLEASE PAY ATTENTION AND KEEP QUITE!!!!" the teacher bellowed.

"SHOVE IT ZIT FACE!!" the two said together. Everyone stared at the two. The teacher tried to maintain her cool, but to no avail.

"YOU BOTH HAVE DETENTION!!! She screamed.

"FINE!!!! SEE IF WE CARE!!!" hitomi and van said together. They both grinned at each other.

'Weird, with midnight, I wasn't able to speak synchronized with him…' hitomi thought. All of a sudden, dillandau came storming in.

"YO! 'TOMI!! I'VE GOT MAJOR NEWS!!!"

"Mr. Albatou, please take a seat, oh! AND YOU ALSO HAVE DETENTION!!" the teacher said smirking.

"Whatever. TOMI!!!!!!" he hollored, completely blowing the teacher off, as he sat next to hitomi.

"WHAT?!!?" she screamed, even though he was right beside her.

"Oh, sorry but I have major news."

"What is it?" Van and hitomi said together. Dilandau stared at the two. "Hitomi, is he-

"I'll fill ya in later. Now what's the big news?" hitomi asked.

"You know that bitch I met this mornin'?" he asked.

"Yeah." Van and hitomi said together.

"Well, I found out that she's……"
