He, was the student council president. The man of the campus. All the girls flocked to him, except one. She was the only girl that he couldn't figure out, couldn't bend to his will.
Jury was the one to bring his attention what her weakness was. A prince, of all things.
I am a man
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends
Come and then go
He had heard rumors, of course. Her telling other boys that she wanted to be a "noble prince".. one who protected princesses. However, if she acted like a prince, no one would claim her as their princess. But, this solved several problems for him. One, he could beat her in the duels. Second, if she believed him to be her prince, he could claim her.
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged
Ah, the look on her face, when he saved her from Sanjoni. Of course, that whole set-up had been his idea.. but...
And now, as she begged Anthy to return to the girl she had known. The girl who had done only her wishes of wanting to make friends, and become social. Noble values, yet all for naught.
"You can return to being a normal girl now."
He said, as he exited the arena with his new prize.
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day
The next morning, she wasn't anywhere to be found. He was worried about her for but a moment, until a more important matter.. arose. He was having tea with Anthy at the time, and he told her to stay until he returned. He didn't even feel a twinge of guilt for leaving the girl there.
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
After retrieving Anthy, and hearing the rumors about what she was *wearing*, of course.... He finally decided to go find her. Upon seeing her in the girls uniform, a smug smiled graced his lips. She was beautiful. Beautiful and broken. She would be putty in his hands now.
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, until her friend had to butt in and dump water on Anthy. That seemed to revive the spark that had just recently been extinguished.
Of course, this lead to another duel. Something he hadn't been expecting.. not at all.
The night before, he had trouble going to sleep. An odd dream had been invading his mind.
He was running through a field, chased by someone. A man.
Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
He fought against the man, and the struggle continued till it faded to black. He didn't awake though, as much as he wanted to. The dream had insared him.
Now, images of Utena as a younger girl ran through his mind. Them together, as a couple. He had met her after her parents died, and vowed to protect her, to love her. To be her Prince.
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home
Then, another nightmare gripped him. He went to go save a girl from drowning, and the last thing he remembered hearing before going beneath the surface was Utena screaming his name.
He jerked awake, drenched in sweat. What did it mean? That he would loose the duel? Loose.. He would loose... something. He felt it. But why was this feeling so bothersome? Why did it matter?
I don't know what when or why
The twilight of love had arrived
He needn't had worried about the dream, or about Utena. This fight was easy, even easier then his first duel. Until, something happened.
He felt the power drain from the sword, then Utena was running towards him, a blur of motion. He went to defend.. but it was too late.
Blood red petals drifted from his pocket.
He had lost.
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
He sat in his room, not hearing the door. Nanami peeked in, worried about her brother. He had a tape player going, reciting some speech. Over and over. He hadn't moved for the past day. With a sigh, she closed the door again, hoping that he would come back to her soon.
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
The images of the last fight were going over and over in his head. Her, returning as the beloved Prince. Her, breaking... him.

A/N- I hope everyone likes this, my first attempt at an Utena fan fiction. This is just
my take on Touga, during eps. 11/12 ad I threw in some parts in from the Movie. (All I own in the movie
and 1-13 ^^;;) As usual- Utena and characters belong to B-Papas and Chiho Saito. Lyrics are
from Red Hot Chili Pepper's, Breaking the girl.
