DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own any of the Escaflowne Characters!! And I do not
get paid to writing this... If I were I wouldn't be working at a fast food
restaurant for crying out loud! _
And I warn people this is not a very well liked couple and this is just a what if kind of thing alright? But I would really like it if you reviewed it anyway. ^___^ And this idea just popped up this morning so I had to jot it down.
Well here it goes...
~~*****************~~
What if...
~~*****************~~
'I can't believe it. That kiss, that wonderful kiss would ever lead to this.'
Hitomi lay curled up with Allen in her bed. She drew the blankets more securely around her and drifted of to sleep herself.
~~**~~
Hitomi sighed and looked down into her cup of coffee. She looked out the window of her three-room apartment and smiled sadly. She couldn't believe it had been 14 years already. She stood up and walked over to one of the bedroom doors and knocked on it.
"Hanna, are you ready to go yet? You'll be late for school and I'll be late for work if we don't go now." She smiled as she herd a thump and a rustle from the other side of the door.
"I'll be ready in a minute mom!" Hitomi laughed softly and walked over to the hall mirror to gather up her now long hair into a bun and then put her jacket on. She wore a blue Japanese style of dress that was tight fitting and showed of every curve of her body, she co owned a small restaurant down town and it was going well. The only thing that bothered her was that her partner insisted that they should wear the dresses. She stepped into her shoes and checked her watch while grabbing her keys.
"Hanna! If you're not ready in thirty seconds you're walking to school!" Said girl bolted out of her room and into the kitchen and grabbed and apple and bit down into it while she was carrying an overstuffed trunk and trying to brush her hair at the same time.
"Am rawdy! Am rawdy!" Hanna mumbled around the apple. Hitomi just sighed and took the trunk form her daughter and walked out the door.
"Don't forget to look now."
"Mom! I know I can forget things but that's just low!" Hanna stepped trough the door wearing a pair of faded blue jeans and an oversized navy blue shirt and a white top underneath accompanied by a pair of sneakers that she was carrying while she was trying to lock the door.
"Hurry up a little Hanna. I'm already late for work." Said girl threw on her shoes and bolted down the stairs and walked besides her mother to the car.
"I got fencing classes after school so I won't be home for dinner, kay mom?" Hitomi nodded and got into the car duping the trunk in the back seat.
"I wish I could understand why you don't set your alarm-clock. How long have we done this really... 5 years?" Hanna smiled and waved her free hand in a dismissing matter.
"Anyway! So can you pick me up after practice or do I have to take the buss?" Hitomi sighed and then smiled.
"I'll pick you up. Don't worry."
~~**~~
"Haaannnnnaaaaa!" The green-eyed girl almost jumped out of her skin when her name was shouted.
"Akin... Hi... Why do you always have to scare me half to death every morning!!!?" Said girl just grinned and pushed a paper into her friends face.
"Whatever blondie! Look! It's a party this Friday and we just have to go! All the popular people are going!" Hanna twitched and stepped away from her friend.
"You know I don't like that kind of parties. I don't like all those snobby people. They are to vain and insecure about themselves." Akin laughed and Hanna just eyed her so-called friend.
"Says the girl who colors her hair blond and claims that it's natural!" Hanna glared and then slammed her locker shut.
"It IS my natural color you dimwit!" Akin stopped laughing and returned the glare.
"But your mother is a brunet or something like that so it has to come for your fathers side then right? The father that never EVER showed his face, do you even know his name? Where he comes from? Oh I forgot! Your mom doesn't like to talk about it coz she got knocked up when she was 15!" Then she started laughing again but it didn't last long as she soon fell to the floor with a bloody nose.
"Don't you dare talk about my family like that... and don't you ever talk to me again..." She picked up her trunk and slung it over her shoulder and began to walk towards the PE halls.
~~**~~
Hitomi was almost drowning in work when the phone rang for the third time and this time she answered.
"Kanzaki's how can I help you?"
´This is principal Kain. Am I speaking to Hitomi Kanzaki?`
"Yes."
´Good. Anyhow, I have to ask you to come and pick up your daughter. She hit a girl in the face and was later engaged in another fight during fencing practice.`
Hitomi was stunned and said that she would be there as soon as possible.
~~**~~
Twenty minutes later both of them sat in the car and was heading home, neither of then had said a word. It was Hitomi who broke the silence.
"What on earth possessed you to hit someone in the face? And then getting into another fistfight during fencing that's not like you at all." Hanna was sitting in the back seat clutching her trunk like a teddy bear but didn't say anything.
"Hanna..." Hitomi didn't have time to finish what she was going to say before she heard the horn of a truck. It all happened so fast and all that was left of the car was a burning peace of metal. And on the news later that evening there was an announcement that there had been a terrible car accident and that all involved had died instantly. They however didn't mention that two of the bodies were never found.
~~**~~
Hanna woke up with a start and stared up at a clear blue sky. She took a few quick breaths and then sat up slowly. She had no idea where she was, but she knew that she was about to be in a car accident and then she couldn't remember. Then she started to panic.
"Mom!" She was sitting on a green field and she couldn't see any houses anywhere and stood feeling the cool breeze against her skin. She brushed a few blond hairs out of her face and looked around again.
"Mom! Where are you!?" She was about to take a few steps forward when she tripped over something. She fell straight on her face and she quickly got up and dusted herself off then grabbing her trunk and slung it over her shoulder again and started walking.
"MOTHER!" There wasn't a sound except the birds and animals. She sighed and looked around again. She had no idea where she was or how she got there. But she could smell the ocen and decided to head that way. She didn't have anything to lose anyway.
Hanna didn't see the pillar of light that touched down on the other side of the mountain but other people did. And most of those people were the people of Astoria.
~~**~~
"Allen did you see that?" The blond haired knight nodded as he looked outside the window. Then he looked at his sister.
"Yes..." Celena placed a hand on her brother's shoulder and looked at him with a concerned face.
"What are you thinking?" Allen shook his head and turned to leave the room. Not saying anything. He couldn't dare to hope that it was Hitomi.
A boy with silver hair about twelve years old ran straight into Allen and stumbled a little. Then when he found his footing again looked up and smiled at Allen.
" Hi uncle Allen! Where are you going?" Allen didn't say anything just brushed past the boy and headed out. The boy looked utterly confused and then walked into where Celena was, still looking out the window.
"Mother what's wring with uncle Allen?" Celena turned to her son and smiled a little.
"I would say that he's a little nervous my dear. I think that an old friend of ours just arrived." The silver haired boy with dark eyes just looked more confused but shrugged it off.
"I'll be going out for a while. See you later mother." He waved and ran out of the room.
"Don't cause anymore trouble you hear that Kei." There was no use in calling after the boy who was already far away.
~~**~~
Hitomi woke up and was almost afraid to open her eyes. She knew she was still alive but didn't know if what she thought had happened actually happened. She could hear mumbles and then she opened her eyes and couldn't help but smile. Then she stood and looked around. Then it hit her that Hanna wasn't around. She was just about to call out her daughters name when she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was such a gentle caress that she was afraid to turn around. But she did, after a little hesitation. And her breath caught in her throat.
"Allen..."
Allen reacted in a similar way but then her gathered up Hitomi in his arms and hugged her. And she returned the embrace and buried her face on his shoulder.
"Hitomi. Oh Hitomi I have missed you..." Hitomi tightened her grip around Allen and started to cry. And it was pure tears of happiness.
"Lets go somewhere where it's less crowded." Hitomi looked up at Allen and nodded and let herself be led.
~~**~~
"Where the fuck am I?!" Hanna was starting to get frustrated. She had no idea where she was and it was starting to get dark. She looked up at the sky and almost fell backwards at what she saw.
"The earth?! But If that's earth... where am I?! Oh man I so screwed and so utterly lost a person can be!"
"Would you stop yelling already the town is just around that hill for crying out loud." Hanna squeaked and put a hand over her hart and spun around to see a silver haired boy dressed oddly. And he just raised an eyebrow at her. Now she was really freaked out. No one dressed like that at home. She dropped her bag and quickly got out her training sword and held it out towards the boy.
"You... don't come near me..." The boy just raised an eyebrow at her and shrugged and didn't seem very intimidated by her.
"Do you need me to show you to the town? You don't look like you're from around here." Hanna's heart started to slowdown somewhat and she almost gulped in air.
"Yeah... that would be nice of you..." She put the sword away and gathered up her trunk and followed the boy.
"You kind of remind me of my uncle Allen. He has the same hair color and the same posture when he's about to fight. He lets me train with him sometimes but I know he lets me win occasionally. He's to good to actually lose." Hanna looked confused.
"What's your name?" Hanna's vocal cords didn't seem to work the first two times she tried to speak. But when she had cleared her throat she managed to actually say her name.
"Hanna Kanzaki." The boy stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Hanna more closely. Said girl took a step back and felt very uncomfortable.
"Do you know Hitomi Kanzaki?" Hanna nodded and the boy grinned at her.
"She's my mother... why?" the boy went from grinning to gaping.
"You mean you're the daughter of the girl from the mystic moon who helped free the world from Zaibach empire?!" Hanna took another step back and she had a worried look on her face.
"I don't know anything about that... can we just get going. I really need to find my mother."
"You mean she's here too?!"
"I.I don't know! But I certainly hope so if everyone around her is going to be like you. You're seriously freaking me out!"
The boy just blinked and then started walking again and Hanna followed and was relived when they could see the Astoria.
~~**~~
If Hanna could get more scared and panicked she would be running around in circles screaming for all the madness to stop. She had seen fish men and other weird things she didn't even want to know about. It felt like her head was going to burst any minute.
"Hey you... what's your name anyway." Hanna looked at the boy who was walking besides her.
"I'm Kei Fanell Schezar. Do you need a place to stay tonight? I don't think my mother would mind if you came to stay with us." All Hanna did was nod. It was her best option so far. And she really didn't want to sleep outdoors with such weird people around.
"Great! It's this way hurry up!" Kei started running and Hanna yelped and then hurried after.
~~**~~
"Mother! Mother! You can't guess who I found outside the city!" Celena turned around and saw her son burst into the room a little out of breath.
"Who did you find dear?" Then a girl with really short tousled blond hair stumbled into the room and almost doubled over to catch her breath.
"Damn it... you're fast..." She got out between gasps for breath. Celena got up from her chair and walked over. And it wasn't until then Hanna noticed that there were someone else in the room and she straightened up to see the person in question.
Celena gasped and put a hand over her mouth and had to grip the chair besides her not to fall.
"Mother! This is Hanna and her mother is Hitomi Kanzaki! Can you believe it?! I thought she was a boy first because of the short hair and all that."
"Hey! Who are you calling a boy."
Celena sat down again and stared at Hanna.
'She looks so much like Allen did when he was younger...'
"Mother? Hello?" Celena was drawn out from her thoughts by her son who were waving a hand in front of her face.
"Oh I'm sorry dear. What did you say?"
"I asked if it was okay if Hanna stayed here tonight? She doesn't have anywhere to stay." Celena smiled and stood again and walked over to Hanna.
"Of course she can stay here tonight. I'll go and prepare the guestroom for her. You can get her something to drink. After all that running she's bound to be thirsty."
"Thank you for letting me stay here..."
"Just call me Celena. I'll be right back." Kei nodded and walked of to get himself and Hanna something to drink. Hanna just crumbled into a chair she was exhausted.
"This is to much for me..."
~~**~~
Celena was searching for her brother. And it didn't take her long to find him, he was just stepping out from his room and closed the door gently behind him, like someone was sleeping in there.
"Allen? Do you have company? Is it Hitomi?" Celena smiled a little and waited for Allen to answer. Allen returned her smiled and nodded.
"Yes. She was where the pillar touched down. I can't believe she's back. And she's even more beautiful then I remember." Celena smiled and then she started to fidget with the hem of her sleeve.
"Allen... did you and Hitomi do anything last time she was here?" Celena blushed slightly. She really didn't like to discuss these kinds of things with people and certainly not with her brother. Allen just looked at her a little oddly. And Celena blushed more.
"Why do you ask?" Well now Celena knew that Hitomi hadn't told Allen anything yet. And she cleared her throat.
"Well... I ask because Kei brought a girl here... who claims that Hitomi is her mother." Allen just stared at her like she had grown two heads.
"...what?" Celena let out a sigh and motioned for her brother to follow.
"She resembles you a lot..." Allen's heart began to race because he knew the possibility was there. And that it could be false hope. But he couldn't think of Hitomi that way.
'She wouldn't do that...' When Allen and Celena reached the room where Hanna and Kei were, the two children were sitting down drinking lemonade. They didn't notice the two adults in the doorway. And was talking among themselves. Well it was mostly Kei who were talking. Hanna just looked utterly lost.
"Her name is Hanna. And she does resemble you a lot when you were younger don't you think?" Celena asked in a hushed voice. Allen just nodded. He couldn't believe it.
"How old is she?"
"I don't know. But I would guess thirteen or fourteen." Allen just smiled softly. And Celena smiled at her brother's happiness.
"Let's go and say hello. But I don't think Hitomi has told her about you... so take it easy." Allen nodded and followed his sister into the room.
Kei turned to look as the adults entered the room and he smiled up at them. And Hanna turned to look to and was taken back by the man that entered after Celena. He seemed familiar somehow.
"Uncle Allen! Did you find that person you were looking for?" Allen laughed a little and nodded.
"Yes I found her. And I see you found someone too." Hanna stood and bowed.
"I'm Hanna Kanzaki. Nice to meet you." Allen couldn't help but laugh a little and that caused Hanna to jump slightly.
"I'm Allen Schezar I'm Celena's brother and a friend of your mothers." Hanna got a confused look on her face again. Then ran her hands trough her hair in a frustrated matter.
"How come everyone know about my mother here?! And how did I get here and why? And where is my mother? I'm going to go nuts if someone doesn't start to explain things to me right now!"
Allen truly felt sorry for her. It had to be really frustrating to be in her situation.
"Come I'll take you to your mother. She's resting in a room down the hall." Hanna stooped moving and then smiled.
"She's here? Thank god..." Allen motioned for her to follow and she wasn't fare behind when he started to walk down the corridor.
~~**~~
"Mom!" Hitomi woke up with a start when she heard her daughters voice and sat up and looked towards the door to see Hanna standing there with Allen.
"Hanna. You're alright!" Hanna ran over to the bed and hugged her mom and almost started crying.
"Mom you better start explaining things to me right now or my head is going to burst. How come so many people know about you here? And where is here? And why can I see the earth in the sky?" Hitomi stroked her daughter's cheek and hushed at her and then smiled a little.
"I will explain, but right now you need to calm down and take a few deep breaths so that you wont faint. You'll probably not believe half of the things I tell you anyway."
"After what I've seen today I would believe that there's actually a thing like Santa or the Easter bunny." Hitomi laughed a little and looked over at Allen. And he nodded and left the room.
~~**~~
After about two hours of explaining the two Kanzaki's walked out of the room. And Hanna looked a little less confused. And then she looked at Allen.
"He's my father?" Hitomi smiled and nodded.
"Yes. That's why I didn't tell you about him. I don't think it would have done you any good to hear a fairytale story like that." Hanna nodded but averted her eyes from Allen. She didn't know how to react. She never had a father, and to have one to pop up just like that was really confusing. And the matter that he wore really weird clothes didn't make the matter easier.
"May I go outside for a while?" Hanna asked and looked over at her mother.
"Sure you can. Just make sure that you don't get lost."
"I won't don't worry."
Hanna left but didn't go that fare. She settled down by a tree and looked up at the sky and just thought about all that had happened. She had nearly been killed in a car accident but was saved by a pillar of light and was brought to a planet called Gaia where the earth hang in the sky like a moon. And now she had a father and aunt and a cousin. She groaned and rested her head on her knees.
"I can't believe this."
~~**~~
Allen wrapped his arms around Hitomi and she leaned into the embrace. The knight rested his head on her shoulder and looked out the window with Hitomi.
"You think she'll be alright?" Allen asked in a soft voice that made Hitomi shiver.
"I think so. She just need time to take it all in." She turned around in Allen's arms to face him and smiled.
"I had almost given up hope on ever coming back again..." Allen raised a hand to softly brush some strand of hair out of her eyes and then he leaned in close and just a few inches away from her lips he spoke.
"I never lost hope." And then he closed the distance and the two of them kissed. A kiss full of longing and love that was never meant to die.

End of part one...
*Dodges various flying objects that is due to come*
Well I just had to write this. I dunno if I'll actually continue this. But I just had to write it. ^___^ If anyone actually thinks that I should continue this I will come up with an ending for it. But right now I need sleep. I have to work 8 hours tomorrow. _ Damn it I hate working.
Oh and flames will be given to my flame eating cats Knubbis and Festis =P
Till next time. *Bows and runs away from the U.F.O's*

"Hurry up a little Hanna. I'm already late for work." Said girl threw on her shoes and bolted down the stairs and walked besides her mother to the car.
"I got fencing classes after school so I won't be home for dinner, kay mom?" Hitomi nodded and got into the car duping the trunk in the back seat.
"I wish I could understand why you don't set your alarm-clock. How long have we done this really... 5 years?" Hanna smiled and waved her free hand in a dismissing matter.
"Anyway! So can you pick me up after practice or do I have to take the buss?" Hitomi sighed and then smiled.
"I'll pick you up. Don't worry."

"Haaannnnnaaaaa!" The green-eyed girl almost jumped out of her skin when her name was shouted.

"I'll be going out for a while. See you later mother." He waved and ran out of the room.
"Don't cause anymore trouble you hear that Kei." There was no use in calling after the boy who was already far away.

Hitomi woke up and was almost afraid to open her eyes. She knew she was still alive but didn't know if what she thought had happened actually happened.

"You mean you're the daughter of the girl from the mystic moon who helped free the world from Zaibach empire?!" Hanna took another step back and she had a worried look on her face.
"I don't know anything about that... can we just get going. I really need to find my mother."
"You mean she's here too?!"
"I.I don't know! But I certainly hope so if everyone around her is going to be like you. You're seriously freaking me out!"
The boy just blinked and then started walking again and Hanna followed and was relived when they could see the Astoria.

"Who did you find dear?" Then a girl with really short tousled blond hair stumbled into the room and almost doubled over to catch her breath.
"Damn it... you're fast..." She got out between gasps for breath. Celena got up from her chair and walked over. And it wasn't until then Hanna noticed that there were someone else in the room and she straightened up to see the person in question.
Celena gasped and put a hand over her mouth and had to grip the chair besides her not to fall.
"Mother! This is Hanna and her mother is Hitomi Kanzaki! Can you believe it?! I thought she was a boy first because of the short hair and all that."
"Hey! Who are you calling a boy."
Celena sat down again and stared at Hanna.
'She looks so much like Allen did when he was younger...'
"Mother? Hello?" Celena was drawn out from her thoughts by her son who were waving a hand in front of her face.
"Oh I'm sorry dear. What did you say?"
"I asked if it was okay if Hanna stayed here tonight? She doesn't have anywhere to stay." Celena smiled and stood again and walked over to Hanna.
"Of course she can stay here tonight. I'll go and prepare the guestroom for her. You can get her something to drink. After all that running she's bound to be thirsty."
"Thank you for letting me stay here..."
"Just call me Celena. I'll be right back." Kei nodded and walked of to get himself and Hanna something to drink. Hanna just crumbled into a chair she was exhausted.
"This is to much for me..."
~~**~~
Celena was searching for her brother. And it didn't take her long to find him, he was just stepping out from his room and closed the door gently behind him, like someone was sleeping in there.
"Allen? Do you have company? Is it Hitomi?" Celena smiled a little and waited for Allen to answer. Allen returned her smiled and nodded.
"Yes. She was where the pillar touched down. I can't believe she's back. And she's even more beautiful then I remember." Celena smiled and then she started to fidget with the hem of her sleeve.
"Allen... did you and Hitomi do anything last time she was here?" Celena blushed slightly. She really didn't like to discuss these kinds of things with people and certainly not with her brother. Allen just looked at her a little oddly. And Celena blushed more.
"Why do you ask?" Well now Celena knew that Hitomi hadn't told Allen anything yet. And she cleared her throat.
"Well... I ask because Kei brought a girl here... who claims that Hitomi is her mother." Allen just stared at her like she had grown two heads.
"...what?" Celena let out a sigh and motioned for her brother to follow.
"She resembles you a lot..." Allen's heart began to race because he knew the possibility was there. And that it could be false hope. But he couldn't think of Hitomi that way.
'She wouldn't do that...' When Allen and Celena reached the room where Hanna and Kei were, the two children were sitting down drinking lemonade. They didn't notice the two adults in the doorway. And was talking among themselves. Well it was mostly Kei who were talking. Hanna just looked utterly lost.
"Her name is Hanna. And she does resemble you a lot when you were younger don't you think?" Celena asked in a hushed voice. Allen just nodded. He couldn't believe it.
"How old is she?"
"I don't know. But I would guess thirteen or fourteen." Allen just smiled softly. And Celena smiled at her brother's happiness.
"Let's go and say hello. But I don't think Hitomi has told her about you... so take it easy." Allen nodded and followed his sister into the room.
Kei turned to look as the adults entered the room and he smiled up at them. And Hanna turned to look to and was taken back by the man that entered after Celena. He seemed familiar somehow.
"Uncle Allen! Did you find that person you were looking for?" Allen laughed a little and nodded.
"Yes I found her. And I see you found someone too." Hanna stood and bowed.
"I'm Hanna Kanzaki. Nice to meet you." Allen couldn't help but laugh a little and that caused Hanna to jump slightly.
"I'm Allen Schezar I'm Celena's brother and a friend of your mothers." Hanna got a confused look on her face again. Then ran her hands trough her hair in a frustrated matter.
"How come everyone know about my mother here?! And how did I get here and why? And where is my mother? I'm going to go nuts if someone doesn't start to explain things to me right now!"
Allen truly felt sorry for her. It had to be really frustrating to be in her situation.
"Come I'll take you to your mother. She's resting in a room down the hall." Hanna stooped moving and then smiled.
"She's here? Thank god..." Allen motioned for her to follow and she wasn't fare behind when he started to walk down the corridor.
~~**~~
"Mom!" Hitomi woke up with a start when she heard her daughters voice and sat up and looked towards the door to see Hanna standing there with Allen.
"Hanna. You're alright!" Hanna ran over to the bed and hugged her mom and almost started crying.
"Mom you better start explaining things to me right now or my head is going to burst. How come so many people know about you here? And where is here? And why can I see the earth in the sky?" Hitomi stroked her daughter's cheek and hushed at her and then smiled a little.
"I will explain, but right now you need to calm down and take a few deep breaths so that you wont faint. You'll probably not believe half of the things I tell you anyway."
"After what I've seen today I would believe that there's actually a thing like Santa or the Easter bunny." Hitomi laughed a little and looked over at Allen. And he nodded and left the room.
~~**~~
After about two hours of explaining the two Kanzaki's walked out of the room. And Hanna looked a little less confused. And then she looked at Allen.
"He's my father?" Hitomi smiled and nodded.
"Yes. That's why I didn't tell you about him. I don't think it would have done you any good to hear a fairytale story like that." Hanna nodded but averted her eyes from Allen. She didn't know how to react. She never had a father, and to have one to pop up just like that was really confusing. And the matter that he wore really weird clothes didn't make the matter easier.
"May I go outside for a while?" Hanna asked and looked over at her mother.
"Sure you can. Just make sure that you don't get lost."
"I won't don't worry."
Hanna left but didn't go that fare. She settled down by a tree and looked up at the sky and just thought about all that had happened. She had nearly been killed in a car accident but was saved by a pillar of light and was brought to a planet called Gaia where the earth hang in the sky like a moon. And now she had a father and aunt and a cousin. She groaned and rested her head on her knees.
"I can't believe this."
~~**~~
Allen wrapped his arms around Hitomi and she leaned into the embrace. The knight rested his head on her shoulder and looked out the window with Hitomi.
"You think she'll be alright?" Allen asked in a soft voice that made Hitomi shiver.
"I think so. She just need time to take it all in." She turned around in Allen's arms to face him and smiled.
"I had almost given up hope on ever coming back again..." Allen raised a hand to softly brush some strand of hair out of her eyes and then he leaned in close and just a few inches away from her lips he spoke.
"I never lost hope." And then he closed the distance and the two of them kissed. A kiss full of longing and love that was never meant to die.
