Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ Hitomi, GirlDragonslayer ❯ Hitomi Faces Van ( Chapter 7 )
A/N: Here's another chapter…When I come back from North Carolina you will probably have two more chapters. This is probably my shortest…and probably my worst….
HITOMI, GIRL DRAGONSLAYER: HITOMI FACES VAN
Hitomi molded herself to Dilandau as they took off. As soon as she was released she was sent to change into her uniform and then was ordered to the hanger. There she, Dilandau and the other Dragonslaeyrs boarded their guymelefs. But then she had the weirdest feeling also, that the night she stayed in the sick bay…someone was watching her.
<In one particular guymelef>
Chesta followed near the front. Last night he had been in heaven and hell. He had stayed by her bedside, watching her sleep unitl he heard someone nearing the room, he quickly hid in the other room and from the crack in the door he watched as Dilandau walked inside. He sat in a chair that Chesta had put in the room, and took from his hand a bottle of wine and a glass. He then poured himself a drink and sat watching her. Dallet had warned him but he had sworn to protect and love her with his life…And he would.
<Back to the battle an hour later>
"All right units, be careful, we are coming upon enemy territory."
Another order soon followed after
"Everyone in invisible mode, now!"
<In the Dragon melef>
Van entered the forest, knowing that the invisible melefs would soon be there. He stopped telling Merle to hop off. He wished Hitomi was here, to help him see, He plowed on, until he neared a river. He stopped waiting.
"Lord Dilandau, I have the Dragon in my sights" said Miguel over the intercom.
Hitomi glanced through a slit in Dilandau's melef and saw Van's melef. 'Oh My…We're really are going to be fighting Van.'
Van heard a metal swooshing sound. He quickly turned and barely blocked a crima claw. Soon another claw shot out which latched onto him.
<10 min later>
Dilandau watched as Van struggled at fighting the invisible guymelefs.
Hitomi was near tears 'Poor Van' She wondered where Allen was.
Van couldn't move. He couldn't fight something he could not see. 'Where are you Hitomi'
Dilandau smirked. 'Who cares about Folken's idea.'
"Well, Well, I've got the Dragon in my snare…looks like I've got to kill you." As Dilandau moved to face Van, a voice came on the intercom.
"Dilandau-
Dilandau rolled his eyes. Looks like he had to obey Folken.
"Whatever"
"Boys, let's bring him to the Vione"
A breath of relief washed over Hitomi. Dilandau noticed Hitomi looked relieved.
"Don't tell me you felt sorry for him.
"N-N-No not at all"
"You had better not, especially on a bumpkin prince like him."
"Oh No…"
"Whatever"
<Later>
Van woke up to some music. 'Where…O yeah he was on the enemy's floating fortress.' How was he going to get out of here. Deciding to ignore the music, though it was familiar he sat up and seeing his sword on the table grabbed it and made toward the door. As he reached the door, it swung open revealing someone he had not seen since he was very young.
"B-Brother…Folken?"
"Van"
Hitomi found out what room they were holding Van in. 'Van, Oh Van, it was all her fault.'
<In the hostage room>
The next time Van woke up he groaned. Folken had injected him with something to knock him out. Escaping seemed impossible now.
<In a corridor somewhere>
Hitomi creeped along toward Van's room. Dilandau and Folken were discussing Van's melef. So she had some time. She had to help Van escape. It was the least she could do.
<Back in the room>
Van reached for his sword. He heard the door creak open, this time would be different, He rushed intending to slay his victim when a familiar voice stopped him.
"Van?"
Van dropped his sword. "Hitomi"
"Oh my gosh, It's you." Hitomi threw her arms around him. "It's you" she whispered.
Van looked at Hitomi, gone where her strange clothes replaced with some kind of battle outfit. Her hair was longer, too.
"Hitomi-but what?"
"We don't have time for that, come on."
Hitomi grabbed his hand as they dashed out the room.
They hurried through corridor after corridor, barely hiding from Chesta and Dallet as they walked through a hallway. They reached the hanger safely.
"Hitomi-
"Van, we don't have time…just…you need to go."
"But-
"Go!"
Hitomi pushed Van toward his melef. She watched as Van went to his melef…but she saw something coming through the shadows. She could only think of doing one thing, she yelled.
Van looked up as Hitomi yelled and followed her gaze to a figure coming toward him with a sword raised.
"AHHh" it yelled.
Van barely blocked it. Hitomi watched as he sparred off with Dilandau. Van's skill were lacking compared to Dilandau.
"Tara-
Hitomi looked up to see Chesta when she heard a scream. Dilandau was on the floor holding his face. "OH MY GOD" Hitomi rushed to Dilandau's side. Van caught Hitomi's eye, rushed to his melef and left.
"My FACE! My beautiful face!"
Hitomi wrapped her arms around a fallen Dilandau. She looked up at Chesta and signaled him to get help.
She sighed as she comforted Dilandau. Life was getting more and more complicated.
<Somewhere in Zaiboch>
"Do you think we did the right think" a man cloaked in black said.
"If it will help this clean up this mess, I think the girl from the mystic moon is just right for the job"
The man looked at this dog-faced human. "hmmmm….we shall see…."
