InuYasha Fan Fiction / Gundam Wing Fan Fiction / Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ A Sequel! More things you didn't know and didn't need to know about Escaflowne and Inu-Yasha! ❯ Chapter Eleven ( Chapter 11 )

(Sango wanders in, looking for a thing called a "battery" for a thing called a "flashlight" that Hitomi has. By the way, Celena has fallen asleep.)

Sango: Do either of you know what a battery looks like?

Kagome: Yeah, what size do you need?

Sango: Size? You mean there's more than one?

Kagome: *sigh* What's it for, then?

Sango: Something called a "flashlight"…

Kagome: Okay, so, AA? Or…AAA? Or…maybe it's D….

Sango: Okay….

Kagome: Eh… *looking through her backpack* I think I have some in here…why don't you sit with us for a sec while I look?

Sango: Okay… *sits*

Karen: I am sorry, I did not catch your name.

Sango: I'm Sango.

Kagome: She's telling me how Kikyou's wrong *smiles*

Sango: Nani?

Kagome: See, I kinda thought that her situation was similar in some ways to the, eh, issues we're having with Inu-Yasha, Kikyou, and me. So I, eh, kinda asked her in a round-about way her opinion, and she seemed pretty supportive of my situation.

Karen: Vell, there are many unattached guys around here. Kikyou could probably lofe one of them. Besides, she said she wanted to kill Inu-Yasha.

Kagome: I'm not really sure what she's trying to do. She's tried killing me, too.

Karen: Vell, killing people ees not smart eef you can avoid it. Sometimes things just happen and you have to accept them the vay they are.

Sango: …

Kagome: Oh…gomen nasai, Sango-chan.

Karen: Hmm?

Sango: Well, strictly speaking, my younger brother Kohaku is supposed to be dead. The only thing keeping him alive is a Shikon shard in his back.

Karen: Vell, I don't mean eet like dat. I only mean eet by your personal situation. Eef he's supposed to be dead and he ees not, then that's a good thing. I am not saying it is bad that the woman Kikyou is alive either, simply that she has to accept that things haf changed.

Sango: Oh, okay.

Karen: I think I haf a little brother, and I think he ees dead. I do not know. I vas sent avay from my family vhen I vas young. I vas sent to Denmark so I could be safe. Or maybe I had two little brothers. Boht they and my mother are dead. My father ees alive, boht he ees so traumatized by the var that he did not know me.

Sango: I know what it feels like to have a loved one not know who you are. Kohaku was pretty much possessed by Naraku and did not recognize me at all.

Kagome: *softly* Naraku tried to make him kill her.

Karen: *shocked* Boht…how could…?

Sango: By the way…what war are you talking about…?

Karen: Eh…the first one ees Vorld Var II and the second…I do not know eef eet has a name.

Celena: *waking up-mutters* Israeli War of Independence. First one, the one we're talking about, 1939-1945. Second one, when Karen died, 1948. *goes back to sleep*

Karen: Oh, okay.

Sango: … Right.

Kagome: It's a lot closer to my time. It's around, oh, 500 or 600 years after your time, Sango-chan.

Sango: Okay. I just won't ask.

(Kohaku walks in, looking for the thing called a "battery" that Sango has not yet brought out.)

Kohaku: Sango, did you find the…barety?

Kagome: It's a battery.

Kohaku: Yes…that.

Sango: Well…we didn't know what size she wanted.

Kohaku: Those things have sizes?

Kagome: *laughs* Eh…yeah. They're kinda complicated.

Kohaku: *scoff* Well, I'm not running errands for her anymore. She can get her own darn barety.

Sango: Bettary.

Kagome: Battery! Battery!

Celena: *awakens once more* Are? Nani? Oh, hi.

Kagome: You have the most interesting ways of waking up, Celena-chan.

Celena: Well, what can I say. I was confused for a minute. And I had a dream that Hitomi's alarm clock was trying to attack me.

Kagome: Wha?

Celena: Well, alarm clocks are scary things.

Kagome: Ya know, I have to agree with ya there…. Actually, Inu-Yasha thinks they're scary, too. He destroyed mine once….

Karen: Yeah, alarm clocks are kind ahf scary….

Kohaku: *to Celena* Hi!

Celena: Hi! *walks over and sits by Kohaku, who takes her hand nervously, blushing*

All: Ah! Kawaii!

Celena and Kohaku: *blush*

Kohaku: So…Celena, where exactly do you come from? I mean…eh…what's your "story"?

Celena: Well…I'm from Tenkuu no Escaflowne, from the country of Austuria.

Sango: By the way…if you don't mind saying…why is it that you hate Dornkirk so much?

Celena: Eh…it's a really long story. I'll tell you if you want.

Sango: If you don't mind….

Celena: Well, okay. So, apparently he was some person who came from Earth, and he had this magic that he called science, and he thought that he was the savior of Gaea or something. He thought that people were controlled by fate, and that he could change fate and make people happy or something by letting them choose their own fate. I don't know if he was just insane or what, but he thought that everyone on Gaea was beneath him and that he could mess with them just to see if he could change fate. So, when I was five, his magic-science-people had me kidnapped and did these terrible fate-alteration experiments on me, and they turned me into Dilandau. So, then, ten years later, I turn back into myself. I don't know…I think in this fic Dilandau and I have somehow separated. But I just can't believe that they would…I mean, it's really screwed up to not be able to remember anything from the last ten years and then to realize that's because you didn't have the last ten years. That you didn't even exist. And, I don't know, lately Dornkirk seems to be a pervert. He even tried to hit on me. Now don'cha think that's just wrong?

All: …

Sango: You were, eh, "fate-altered" to become…Dilandau?

Celena: *nods*

Sango: … Whoa, I can definitely see why you hate him.

Celena: Yeah, I know it's not good to hate people, but…still….

Kohaku: *places hand on her shoulder comfortingly* I'm so sorry, Celena-chan…it's okay.

Celena: *hugs a very surprised but gratified Kohaku*

Sango: *smiles*

Hitomi: *walks in* Oooooookay, did you all get LOST or do you just not know what a battery is? Oh, wait…sorry….

Kagome: Eh, we were just wondering what size you want….

Hitomi: Eh…*looks at the purple flashlight* I don't know, whatever fits!

Kagome: Well, try some of these *hands her a bunch of different types*
