Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ Angel of the Night ❯ The Blood Pact ( Chapter 6 )

document.write(''); Night of the Raven here. Thanks for the reviews. Well, here ya go.

Van extended his bleeding hand. Hitomi took a deep breath and did the same. As soon as they connected they felt a huge shock. It felt like a hundred hot needles piercing every single part of their bodies. It took all of Hitomi's strength not to cry out as the pain attacked every inch of her body.
They both pulled away quickly. Hitomi wiped her hand on her pants and put her glove back on. Van quietly did the same, and both of them handed their daggers to Yukari and Dilandau. After the blood pack the daggers were handed back to their owners.
"You will all be honored when the war is over for your extensive bravery."
Van snorted. Yeah, like he wanted that.
"Whatever." said, Hitomi.
Hitomi followed Yukari out, who in turn was following everyone else out.
"Man! I've never done a blood pack before and I never want to do one again. Those damn things hurt!" exclaimed Yukari, still trying to stop her hand from bleeding.
"I know." Hitomi said impatiently.
"No one was as bad as Allen and Millerina though. I think Allen had tears in his eyes."
"Allen's a wimp."
"Hey not fair!" said Allen coming up from behind them. "Don't pick on me when I'm not there to defend myself."
"Life's not fair." Hitomi snapped.
Yukari opened up her mouth to say something but decided against it.
"Alright guys and gals. We are going to break for lunch. Meet back at the trains in half an hour." Dryden announced.
"Hey Hitomi, are you gonna come with us?" asked Yukari.
"No I'll pass."
With that, Hitomi walked away from them.

Hitomi sighed as she climbed her favorite tree. It was her favorite tree when she was little. A big old apple tree in Mr. Johnson orchard. She used to come here all the time when things got too rough.

"Where is Hitomi?" asked Dryden. "It's been longer then thirty minutes."
Yukari shrugged. "She left a while ago. She didn't mention where she was going to."
"Why aren't we leaving yet?" asked Van impatiently.
"Because your partner isn't here." stated Allen.
"Where is she at?"
Allen shrugged.
"Wait, what about the apple orchard? That used to be her favorite place." said Yukari.
"Right, go find her Van." said Dryden.
"Alright alright. I'll go find her. Anything to get as moving."
"Look for her in one of the trees." Yukari yelled after him.
Van waved his hand at her to show he was listening.

As soon as Van walked into the orchard, he heard a soft thump. He quietly walked to the noise. An apple core was laying at his feet on the ground. Van slowly looked up to find the source of it. Hitomi was sitting on a branch in the tree right next to him. Her right leg was dangling, and she was staring off into space, an apple in hand.
"Hey Kanzaki!" Van shouted.
Hitomi shook her head and looked at him her eyes soft at first, then they grew hard when she saw who it was.
"What do you want?" she snapped, a little embarrassed that he saw her in a weakened state.
"I came to get you." He snapped back.
"Just leave me alone." She barked.
"You're already going back on your blood pack."
"No way in hell will I work with you Fanel."
"You're very sour you know that right?"
"I know."
"Since were going to be working together you better work on your attitude."
"Whoa, back up. Who said we are gonna work together."
"Like you have a choice."
"When this is over I will kill you. You know that right?"
"Yeah whatever."
Van turned around and walked out of the orchard.
"Hey wait a minute!" she shouted.
Hitomi jumped from the tree with cat like grace and ran to him.
"Are you ready now?" he asked impatiently.
"Lead the way your Majesty." She said mockingly.
"Save your sarcasm for someone else."
"Yes Sir." She said saluting him, monotonously.
"Watch it Kanzaki."
"Just stay out of my way Fanel." ************************************************************************ Sorry it's so short. However I am at school and I have to get this done quick.
