Damn I wish my parents would leave me alone. That's the third time they bugged me when I was trying to write this story. Augh parents! (rolls eyes) Well anyway now since the interruptions are over on to reading this new fic. (hee hee)

I just want to say that I do not own the characters from the show, but I do own the characters that the original's meet. You'll understand when you read.

The Vision of Escaflowne ~ The Dracoinian Sphere"

---------------------------------------------------------

Maru walked down the long hallway, heading towards Dravo's room. When he reached the wooden doors that led to Dravo's quaters he stopped, and knocked on the door. A faint voice was heard from inside saying to enter. Maru raised both hands and pushed the wooden doors open, and entered. Dravo sat at his desk, leaning back in his chair, with his arms crossed. Maru kneeled down on one leg, and then rises.

"They have been caught, Lord Dravo." said Maru as he stood at attention.

A smile spread across Dravo's face. Dravo raised his right hand and motioned for Maru, to leave. Maru taking this as a sign, turns around and exists the room. When Maru had left Dravo turned around in his chair and faced the window. Storm clouds were forming and thunder could be heard in the distance. "Finally everything is going into place." Dravo lifted himself out of his chair and walked up to the window, and he peered down at the city below. "Now for the girl." a deveish smile spread across Dravo's face, and a strike of lightening streaked across the sky.

"HEY WATCH THE TAIL!!!!" screamed Merle, as the guard shoved her into the cell.

"Shut-up! And get in there!" yelled the guard, and he slammed the cell door shut, when all of them were in.

The guard smirked at the prisoners, and walked away. Van walked over to the far wall and slumped to the ground, Allen leaned against the far wall, Ryu stood in the center of the cell, and Merle was grabbing the bars and shaking them violently.

"LET ME OUT!!!!! MEOWR!!!" shrieked Merle, as she started to climb the bars.

"GESH! WOMEN!! Calm down!!" huffed Ryu, as he crossed his arms, and closed his eyes. "Typical women."

Merle froze on the bars, and her tail stood on end. Slowly Merle turned her head and glared at Ryu. Everything was silent, Ryu opened his left eye and looked over at Merle, who was now glaring at him, and then a low cougar like growl was heard. Ryu's eyes widened and he staggered backwards, and he looked over at Van and Allen. But they just stayed where they were, their heads bowed down and eyes closed. He then looked over where Merle was, but she was gone, Ryu turned around drastically searching for Merle. {Where is she?} thought Ryu. Then a low growl was heard behind him, Ryu spun around and noticed Merle kneeling on the ground. Ryu staggered backwards, when Merle leaped on top of him.

"Ahhhhh!!! GET OFF!!!! HEY WATCH THE FACE!!!! GUARDS HELP!!!!!" screamed Ryu as Merle scratched, swatted, and dug her nails in to his flesh.

"Hey what's going on in there!?" boomed a guard as he banged on the cell door. "Settle down or else!"

After a few minutes Merle stopped and leaped off of Ryu, who was know lying on the ground covering his face. Van raised his head and looked over at Ryu, his arms were scratched up, his red top was shredded, and his pant's were ripped. Then he turned his head and looked over at Merle who was now sitting in the far corner and was licking her paw innocently. Van just chuckled to himself, except for Ryu, who raised himself to a sitting position, and was moaning in pain. He started to pull off the last remains of his shirt, when Merle started squealing excitedly. "NO! NO! KEEP IT ON!!" shrieked Merle, but Ryu ignored her and he pulled off his top. "Ahhhhh! I'M BLIND!!!!!!!" screamed Merle, and she covered her eyes.

Slowly Merle lowered one of her fingers to get a glimpse of Ryu's body. With his top on you would never guess that Ryu was well toned, but he was. Merle lowered her hands from her face and her mouth dropped open. She could see every ripple every muscle in his body, then she noticed Ryu's body shift in her direction, and she looked up into Ryu's eyes. Merle's face went beat red, and she spun her head around and covered her face. Ryu looked some what amazed, and shocked, but he just ignored the situation, and he continued to tend to his wounds.

"That man mentioned something about Hitomi. She must be here in this castle some where." said Allen as he pushed himself off of the wall and looked over at Van.

Van raised his head and looked up at Allen. Merle stopped licking her paw, and her tail stood on end. {Oh no. There going to talk about weirdo now. Ough! Why now!! Don't they even care on what Ryu is doing too me. ...... Why couldn't the guards put HIM in a different cell.} growled Merle to herself, and she glared over at Ryu, who was using his ripped top as bandages.

"Hitomi?" All four of them turned around and stared out beyond the cell door to a guard. It was one of the guards that was guarding the gates of Arnpria. "I wouldn't worry about that girl. You should be more worried about yourself then her. For you won't be staying that long." said Guard 1.

Merle's ears perked up to attention. "You mean your sending us home!" chirped Merle.

The guard smiled. "Home? .... Ya maybe in a wooden box!" and the guard walked away laughing.

Everyone was silent. "Where going to DIE!!!!!" shrieked Merle, everyone plugged their ears in pain as Merle started to wail.

"Merle!!" grumbled Van. "Where not going to die!! But we have to get out of here promto" Merle then stopped crying and faced Van.

"R .. r ... really? Lord Van?" sobbed Merle, Van nodded.

"Gesh!!!! Just like a women, to cry over simple things!!" grumbled Ryu to himself, as he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

"What did you say!!??" hissed Merle, Ryu's eyes flicked open, and he slowly raised his head and looked over at Merle. Merle's ears were pinned back and her arms where straight down her sides, and her tail was fizzled and standing on end. Ryu, whimpered and slumped down to the ground, as Merle started to scratch, swat, and dig her nails once again into his flesh. Van and Allen both stared at each other and then over at Ryu and Merle who were fighting, Van raised his right hand and slumped his forehead into his palm and started to shake his head, and Allen rested his hands on his hips and took a deep sigh.

"AHHHH!!!! GET OFF OF ME!!!!! ...... HEY WATCH WERE YOUR AIMING!!!" screamed Ryu.

"Hey I told you once already! SETTLE IT DOWN!!!!" yelled the guard from down the hall.

"AHHHHH!!!! GUARDS!!! GUARDS!!!!! HELP!!!!!" yelled Ryu.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dravo opened the door to Hitomi's chamber and walked in. He noticed her on the ground curled into a ball, fast asleep. Dravo's eye's gazed up and down her slick body, eyeing every curve every indent in the soft crevasses of the white silk dress. Slowly he stepped forward and kneeled down beside Hitomi's right side, so that her back was facing him, he leaned over and examined the soft skin of her face, and her lips. He then reached over with his right hand and parted some of her hair off of her face, Hitomi twitched, and moaned when his fingers touched her skin. He jolted his hand back, afraid to awaken her from her deep sleep, it was obvious that she had been crying, for what or for who he didn't care. Dravo then slid both of his hands under Hitomi's body, and then slowly lifted her up. Hitomi slumped against his chest lightly, moaning and whispering something to herself, and then she buried her head into his chest, clenching Dravo's black top with her palms. Dravo walked over towards the bed, and stopped, he gazed down at Hitomi in his arms, as he slowly lowered her on to the bed. He then removed his hands from under Hitomi and rested her head on the pillow, slowly Dravo raised his right hand and he started to caress her forehead, parting her bangs to the side and out of her eyes. Dravo leaned in closer and inhaled her sweet fragrance, and he sighed deeply, he then leaned in closer and pressed his lips to Hitomi's.

"Um ..... oh van........." murmured Hitomi.

Dravo's eyes widened in hurt, and he raised his head, breaking the kiss. {That name again! Van!!} thought Dravo. Hitomi's eyes started to open and she blinked a couple of times.

"Van?" stammered Hitomi as she strained to get her eyes adjusted to the darkness. When her eyes finally adjusted, and she released on who was in the room with her she gasped. "Dravo!?"

Dravo's eyes hardened into a cold stare, as he looked at Hitomi. Hitomi sat up and curled her legs underneath her. Everything was silent, except for the rumbling of thunder from outside, Hitomi started to slide herself off of the bed, when Dravo grabbed her wrist's and pinned her down on to the bed. Hitomi let out a surprised gasp, and she stared at Dravo who was now leaning over her and was staring into her eyes.

"dravo? ..... Dravo what do you think......?" stammered Hitomi as she struggled to get free.

But he didn't answer her, Hitomi started to kick her legs and try to get them underneath him so that she could get him off, but it didn't work. Dravo raised himself and pinned her legs with his own, he was now practically on top of her, his whole weight pinned Hitomi down, she couldn't move. Hitomi stared up at Dravo, and noticed lust in his eyes. {No.} thought Hitomi, as Dravo slowly closed his eyes, and then lowered his head to hers. Tears started to form in Hitomi's eyes {Van. Where are you?} thought Hitomi, as tears started to roll down her cheek's. Hitomi bit her lower lip as Dravo, pressed his lips to hers, and started to kiss her patiently. Hitomi closed her eyes, as tears started to roll down her cheeks even more. Her whole body trembled, and her mind raced with thoughts. {Some one help me} she screamed in her mind. Then the pendent glowed from underneath her gown. {Help!...}

((In the northern regions of Gaea))

"Kio do you see anything?" yelled Gaddess.

"No sir noting yet!" yelled Kio.

"Damn!" huffed Gaddess, as he slumped over. He then noticed Millerna with her head bowed down, and he stood back up, with a smile. He was going to comfort her when Katz came running in from the the hanger.

"Sir! Sir!! It's Escaflowne!!!" yelled Katz historically.

"Calm down Katz! What's wrong?" said Gaddess as he turned around to face him. Millerna turned around also wondering on what was going on.

"You won't believe it sir! It's the energist! It's resonating!!" yelled Katz as he pointed down towards the hanger.

"What but that's impossible!" stated Millerna.

"Escaflowne can't be operational! It doesn't even have an energist!" yelled Gaddess.

"Don't yell at me just go and look for yourself sir." said Katz as he stepped to the side, as Gaddess and Millerna ran by him, and headed for the hanger. Gaddess swung open the hanger door, and ran in, with Millerna and Katz not that far behind him, and then stopped abruptly.

"What the!" stammered Gaddess, as he stared at Escaflowne.

"What's wrong Gaddess? What's going on?" asked Millerna, but then she went silent, as she noticed Escaflowne.

The pink energist sphere was glowing brightly, and was getting brighter every second. Then like a burst of energy the pink sphere spewed out pink rays engulfing the entire crusade. Gaddess, Millerna, and Katz raised their hands infront of their faces to block the light. "What's happening!!?" yelled Millerna, as they slowly lowered there hands to get a glimpse on what was going on. Then like a falsh a strange blue light, starting from Escaflowne, flooded outwards engulfing everything in it's way.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!......"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

To Be Continued ....
