Thanks to you all!!! Now, I understand that there was some slight confusion with the whole fact that Celena was only three months younger than Allen, so it shall be explained in this chappie. Originally, it was a COMPLETE mistake! I apologize for any confusion!

Now without further ado, here's chapter 12 of 'Rebellious'

Chap12-the dark of the night.

Disclaimer: I do not; I repeat DO NOT own Escaflowne or any of its characters. Thus, I do not make any profit off of them. So no suing me, understood?

"Ne van? Hitomi asked.

"Hmm?"

"I have a question."

"Fire away."

"You said that Belena, or whatever her name was-

"celena." Van corrected her.

"Whatever. You said that she's three months younger than Allen…how is that possible?" Hitomi asked bluntly. Van laughed.

"Well, you see they both have different mothers. And when I said 'three months younger', I meant that she was conceived three months after Allen was born. I go by the time of conceived, not of birth…I'm just weird like that." van said. Hitomi just stared at him.

"So…in reality, celena's probably at least a year younger than pansy-boy?" Hitomi asked. Van nodded. Suddenly, Hitomi slapped him over the head.

"OW! What was that for!?" van asked, as he rubbed his sore head.

"For being a complete weirdo! Why couldn't you have just told me this from the start!?" Hitomi asked. Van shrugged.

"dunno." Hitomi sighed.

"ne, van…if belena-

"celena."

"Whatever. If she's a year younger, then how the hell was she in your class?" Hitomi asked.

"Apparently, she's smarter than she looks. She was pushed up a grade." Van explained.

"Ah."

Silence.

"So hitomi, are you gonna tell me what happened?" van asked as he and hitomi walked down the hall way of the school building.

"sigh I guess…my mother's engaged." Hitomi sighed.

"What? But so soon?" van asked, trying not to sound harsh.

"That's what I said…she barley knows the guy…I don't even know him…what am I gonna do? I don't wanna be apart of a family that has some guy I don't even know as my father…am I even making sense?" hitomi asked helplessly.

"Perfect sense. Say I have an idea. Why don't you stay at my place for a while until your head clears up?" van suggested.

"Really? I mean your mom won't mind?" hitomi asked, trying not to show her excitement.

"Sure, we are practically married in my mother's eyes." Van grinned. Hitomi blushed.

"R-really? She would actually…uh..."

"Yes hitomi. She would give us her consent." Van grinned as he saw his beloved blush deeper.

"Actually, I was going to say she actually wouldn't mind having me in her house." Hitomi corrected van, grinning when she saw him blush.

"O-oh, well at least now you know huh? Hehe…" van said sheepishly.

"Yeah, right… umm van? Could you just wait here for a sec, I have to use the little ladies' room." Hitomi asked as she stopped.

"u-umm sure, I guess…but be careful ok?" van said.

"Van... since when haven't I been careful?" hitomi mocked.

"I'm serious… be careful..." van said.

"Yeah, yeah…I'll be back in a bit. Besides, what could happen in SCHOOL?" She said as she went around the corner. '

'I'd better follow her, just incase...' van thought.

'God, the school's bathrooms are better than the ones at my place…I mean automatic flush and faucets…man….' Hitomi thought as she exited the bathroom.
"hey van! What are you doin' here?" hitomi asked when she saw van leaning on the wall, right outside of the bathroom door.

"Just making sure you were ok." He said truthfully.

"Aww…how sweet of you, c'mon my pookie, lets head off home…school gonna begin-"BRRRRIINNGG!!

"-now..." hitomi finished as the halls soon filled up with students. She didn't feel like going to class. And neither did van.

'Then why the hell did I even bother coming here?' Hitomi thought sadly.

"MS. KANZAKI, PLEASE COME TO THE OFFICE!!! I REPEAT, MS. KANZAKI PLEASE COME TO THE OFFICE!!" the secretary said over the loud- speaker.

"Great…what the hell do they want now…" hitomi grumbled.

"I'll come with you." Van said.

"Thanks…"she replied.

Hitomi knocked on the door.

"Come in!" the principal's voice called.

"Yo, What s'up Mr. D?" hitomi said casually as she and van entered the office, as if she owned it. And lets be frank-she pratically did.

"oh, nothing, except for the fact THAT YOU DUMPED MR. SHEZAR INTO A DMPSTER AFTER BEATING HIM UP TO A BLOB OF APPLE SAUCE!!!!!" Dornkirk bellowed.

"Ohh…that…so what?" hitomi asked buntly.

"SO WHAT? SO WHAT?!! DO YOU RELIZE MS. KANZAKI THAT MR. SHEZAR'S FATHER IS THE HEAD OF THE MAJOR COMPANY "SHEZAR CO.?" he bellowed.

"No! Really? I had no idea, D!!!" hitomi pretended to be shocked.

"AND NOW I AM FACING CHARGES DUE TO YOUR CHILDISHNESS!!!!" Dornkirk continued.

"Awwww poor baby..." she mocked.

"WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF??!!!" he hollered. "Umm…I don't care?" hitomi answered. Van meanwhile was hysterically laughing in the background.

"EXCUSE ME MR. FANEL, WHAT IS SO FUNNY?" the principal asked. "First thing, Mr. Fanel was my father." Van started.

"Way to go, baka." Hitomi murmured at Dornkirk.

"Secondly…I just find it so funny that you are being pushed around by hitomi, a girl who is half your age!!!! Haha...it's amazing." Van said through laughs.

"What do you mean by that van? You don't think I can't take him on?" hitomi asked dangerously.

"Oh, nothing of the sort, sweet pea…hehe, always knew you could kick his ass any day." van said, sweating.

"Liar…" hitomi growled.

"IF YOU TWO ARE DONE!?!?!?" Dornkirk butted in.

"OH, SHOVE IT DORNY…SHEESH, IF YOU ARE GONNA YELL AT ANYONE, YELL AT SHEZAR, IT WAS HIS FAULT…HE SHOULDN'T HAVE PUSHED MY BUTTON!!!!!!!!" hitomi snapped. With that, hitomi stormed out of the room, dragging van behind her, leaving Dornkirk speechless.

"UGH!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT GUY!! AGGGG!!!!!!" hitomi screamed in van's room.

"There, there hitomi…here, drink." Varie said gently as she passed her a glass of lemonade. Van was in the shower.

"Thanks." Hitomi said as she accepted the drink.

"now why don't you tell me what is going on, I have a feling it's just not Dornkirk, and I have a feeling you don't dump people in dumpsters for no reason." Varie said smiling.

"Ok…here's the deal…" hitomi said as she proceeded to tell varie all what had happened that day.

"Thanks for listening varie…I think I'll go for a short walk now..." hitomi said after she had told varie.

"Ok dear..." varie said gently. As soon as hitomi left, van came out of the bathroom.

"Mom? Where's hitomi?" he asked, noticing she wasn't in the room.

"Oh, she went for a walk dear, she'll be back soon." Varie replied. "WHAT!!!!! YOU LET HER GO????????" van screamed.

"Yes dear, why not?" varie asked.

"BECAUSE, IN CASE YOU FORGOT SHE WAS JUST NEARLY KILLED TWO DAYS AGO!!! DO YOU RELIZE THAT SAME FREAK COULD BE STILL OUT THERE?" van asked, as he quickly grabbed his sneakers and ran outside.

Meanwhile, hitomi was walking down a street trying to clear her thoughts. Suddenly, two strong arms wrapped around her.

"Don't move sweet heart, otherwise, you're dead."A deep voice said.

'The same voice from my dream...' hitomi thought.

"m-midnight?" hitomi chocked out.

"That's right babe, you seriously didn't think I would let you go, now did you?" he asked, licking her ear, making her feel queasy.

"Let me go midnight." Hitomi said in a voice she hoped sounded firm.

"Ha! Let you go? My, my hitomi...you are not in any position to tell me what to UGH!!" midnight cried as hitomi elbowed him in the stomach, hard, making him losing his grip on her. Hitomi saw this chance, and quickly got out of his grip, so now she was facing him. Now, a normal person would run for their lives, but hitomi was not an average, normal person, no she stayed, watching him groan in pain. Stupid, stupid hitomi. "You'll pay for that one sweetie..." midnight groaned as he lunged before her. This surprised our lovely dimwit; so obviously, she was tackled to the ground. Midnight took a dagger out from his pocket and held it up to hitomi's throat.

"Now, any last words, babe?" midnight teased.

'Oh, van…I love you…this is the end' she thought. (How cheesy)

Van was running with all his might.

'Damn! How far did she go? He suddenly heard a voice; a voice that made him want to kill the man's whose voice that was. Midnight. He crept around the corner, and what he saw, nearly made his heart stop. Hitomi was on the ground, midnight on top of her, holding a knife to her throat. Slowly he sneaked up behind Midnight, trying not to make any sound. Hitomi saw him; she forced her eyes not to widen at the sight of van. She knew that if she did, Midnight would notice and kill them both, so instead, she focused her eyes on Midnight. Midnight meanwhile decided to punch hitomi-hard. Making her bleed and become unconsious. "Hehe…too bad your little vannie isn't here to save you this time" midnight teased.

"Think again." Van's voice said. Midnight turned around, and his face met van's fist.

"Baka." Van murmured. He turned to hitomi. He noticed she was bleeding from the head and was unconsious. He quickly picked her up and ran back to his house. Midnight finally regained consciousness but realized that hitomi and van were gone.

"Damn…"he murmured.
