Vision Of Escaflowne Fan Fiction ❯ The 3 Elements ❯ Thanks to the bird! ( Chapter 5 )

Well, as usual, I don't own Escaflowne or any of its original characters. But I do own my characters and this story.

I also want to thank all the people who reviewed: Han, Cherry2, Enzeru no Yami and Artamis Godess of the Hunt

The 3 Elements

She yelled with all her might, and obviously she woke up everyone from the crew.

Chapter 5: Thanks to the bird!

"Oh God!" - Semmedjem couldn't bare the scream, and put his hands on his ears.

When, after a while, she stopped screaming, he sighed in relief. And it was then, that he noticed the others had awaked.

"Hell! You could've stayed sleeping!" - he muttered to himself.

Allen ran among what was left of the Crusade, searching for Scherazade.

It didn't take long for him to find out it was completely ruined.

"Oh! Not that please!" - he begged to the sky, knowing he wouldn't get any answer.

"I don't remember giving you three permission to leave!" - Semmedjem said sarcastically as he aimed at Hitomi, Enehy and François

Enehy made him a grimace and he laughed

"You still act like a child!" - they saw as the Guymelef's hands reached for them. They spread out and started running in different directions, as to get Semmedjem confused. - "You're not getting away that easily!" - he screamed as the Guymelef turned around, going after Hitomi, who ran along the beach.

She ran as fast as she could, not wishing to get back to that horrible place. But of course, she was not faster than a Guymelef.

She stopped and fell back as Semmedjem's Guymelef was I front of her.

"Now, now! Hitomi, where do you think you're going?" - she breathed heavily and closed her eyes as he extended one arm to grab her.

Hitomi prayed to the Gods, that something happened, something that would save her. Fortunately, the Gods were on her side.

She heard Semmedjem's scream, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the Guymelef falling back into the seawater. With his weight, the sand formed a great cloud of dust around her and she started coughing as she expected to breath clean air.

"Hitomi!" - she felt herself being hugged against a, somewhat familiar body. Hers, shivered at the touch. - "I'm so glade I came in time! Are you ok, Hitomi?" - she looked up as he pushed her a little away from him, to see her face. Tears started forming on her beautiful green eyes.

"V-Van! VAN!"- She hugged him, so close that it almost suffocated him, crying on his chest. He smiled and hugged her back.

"You bastard!" - Van looked back and saw the Guymelef getting up and preparing to grab them. In no time at all, he spreads his wing and flies with Hitomi on his arms.

Semmedjem, Enehy and Francois were with their mouth wide open.

"I didn't knew there were any angels!" - François said as he saw Van flying.

"It's not an angel, you moron! It's a Draconian! He must be one of the last of its kind!"

"Well, thank you missy 'I-know-everything'!" - François said sarcastically at the same time Enehy gave him an angry glare. - "What?" - she turned her back on him and he smirked. - "As if I care!" - he said as he also turned his back on her.

Van flew back to Escaflowne and entered his cockpit, letting Hitomi safe on the ground.

Escaflowne got up and took his sword from its back, as Semmedjem took his.

"I have nothing against you King Van Fanel! But you are in my way!" - Semmedjem said as he charged against Escaflowne. Van blocked too easily, because, after all, Semmedjem had never used a Guymelef before in his life, and Van was a very skilled swordsman. Soon enough, Van threw Semmedjem's sword to the air and Semmedjem decided it was better for him to leave.

"Hurray!" - Enehy yelled as she jumped over Luk, overjoyed by heir victory. Once more, Luk blushed as red as red can be. - "Escaflowne-1; Semmedjem-0!" - she jumped from one side to the other, making all the others laugh.

"Thank you very mush Van!" - Hitomi said as he came off Escaflowne. He looked at her strangely.

"Thank you? I expected something else! After all, we haven't seen each other for almost two years." - she smiled and walked over to him.

"Sorry!" - before he could say anything, she kissed him on the lips. Mush to his surprise. - "Is this better?" - she asked with a grin on her face

"Not what I was expecting, but, it will do!" - they laughed together, as they walked to what was left of the Crusade. Where all the others were.

"Van! How the heck did you got to know that she was back?" - Allen asked as he climbed to a higher part of Crusade's junk.

"I was told by a little bird! Witch, surprisingly was sent by Queen Mirana Sara Aston!" - he stated sarcastically as he saw that Allen was also acting sarcastically.

"Now, should we get to the Palace!" - Gadess said and they all started walking to the Palace and out of the beach.

Now, now! Why would I stop here? Because I'm having an author's block! Totally! Now I would sincerely appreciate some (many) reviews. Please!

Anyway see you soon!
