Author's Note: Argh! I am painfully aware of how new I am to writing fiction for this series, regardless of how many times I have watched the full series in Japanese and the movie. I'm generally a Gundam Wing A/C writer, but after reading my first and probably only Escaflowne fic I decided it was time I take a dip in this fic pool. I wonder how accepting everyone will be of my writing? I wonder if people here review as often as people over in GW thread.

Sorry, my AU is always long. If the code following the warning is unfamiliar to you please scroll to the very bottom of this chapter and read. I don't want you having any unwelcome surprises.

Warning: Angst, DF, NC, Yaoi, Het, Lemon/Citrus Scenes, I switch between viewpoints and narration styles, etcetera blah etcetera blah.

Disclaimer: (will add this one later, for now, I don't own any of the characters to Escaflowne I just sadistically abuse them.)

Songs: Bring me to Life - Evanescence

Prologue:

"I really went to Gaea...didn't I?"

~~~~?~~~~~? ~~~~~?~~~~?~~~~~?~~~~~?~~~~?~~~~~?~~~~~?~~~~~

The room was cold, nondescript, and impersonal, nothing at all like her bedroom back home. Hitomi swung her line of vision towards the door-shutting close, and listened to the nurses' walk away chattering. Why where they doing this to her? She was not insane; she was not a babbling idiot. She really went to Gaea...

Hitomi slid out of her worn sneakers, and slid under the blankets of her twin-sized bed; tears breaking free. Why didn't they believe her? She wasn't the type of girl to lie. She didn't deserve this.

"I really went to Gaea...didn't I?" Her mind drifted as sleep began to take hold of her, an unsettling shadow settling over her mind; one she hadn't felt since the flames of Van's world.

--(3 Months Later)--

"Let go of me!" Hitomi cried, struggling under the firm arms of her Dr. Takatori that locked her on his desk. He said he had believed her! He had told her he'd let her go home! He swore he'd take her off the drugs! He had lied!

Violently she kicked against him, trying to remove his wandering hands from inside her cotton issued pants as they fell from her legs. "Help me…" Hitomi rasped, her throat sore from shouting. "I believed you!" Fretfully she grabbed for handfuls of the doctor's shaggy black hair.

A hard fist snapped into Hitomi's reddened face, leaving her starring in shock at the man she had thought was her only hope to get out of the institutionalized hell. "Shut up." He barked. "If you want to do this the hard way, then fine." Dr. Takatori reached for a small syringe located inside the top drawer of his desk, his torso pressing against her body as he leaned inward between her legs to reach.

"What are you doing…?" Hitomi mumbled focusing her bleary eyes on the object in his hands. "No!"

Another efficient blow to the head left her again silent and bordering unconscious, "Shut up."

The injection proved unnecessary, before he had uncapped the needle, Hitomi was dead to the world, blood dripping down the side of her swollen lip; regardless he introduced the drug into her blood stream for precautions.

--(Five Weeks Later)--

"It's just awful, Mei!" The round nurse exclaimed miserably too her smaller coworker, "She cut up her wrists with plastic, plastic from the cafeteria she hid god-knows where just last week!"

Mei nodded thoughtfully, "Only Heaven knows why! It would be a shame to loose another girl like that, and Hitomi is such a nice girl, I am so glad they got her stabilized upstairs. I wonder what possessed her to do such a terrible thing?"

"I wouldn't have a clue. With such a wonderful Doctor like Takatori you'd think she'd be getting better!"

"He hasn't lost a patient yet, Ayaka!" Mei beamed dreamily, "He's so good with the girls here! Hitomi is a lucky girl to have such a sensitive man taking her case; he'll have success in no time. I have faith in him!

Ayaka nodded, "I have confidence in him too."

--(The Next Week)--

Hitomi watched her plate with a deadened fascination with just the mere space it occupied in the universe. Aside from her preoccupation, her mind was empty and kept so by a smorgasbord of medications pumped into her three times daily by various nurses.

--(Three Days and Two Nights of Good Behavior)--

"Van…" Hitomi whispered into the blackness of her room. "Van…help me be stronger than this…" Loneliness gripped at her sore chest, "Van…" She pleaded.

Hitomi bolted up; on the wind she thought she had heard a whisper, a voice she had almost forgotten. As her eyes drifted around the source, her eyes locked on a patch of plaster on her wall. There was no window for wind to come through; someone was really returning her call.

However, the voice was gone, and she was alone as her nightly prescription took hold of her and choked the consciousness from her battered body.

TBC…

Ending Note: Yup, depressing...the next chapter picks up after she has left the institution and is seeing a psychiatrist and trying to resume a normal life. However, the emotional wounds she has festering on her heart has created a newer Hitomi; a girl who isn't so quick to love, one who doesn't want to learn, a young woman who just doesn't care to live in a world that has done so much harm to her.
