A/N: I have absolutely no clue how original this plot may be and...I don't particularly care. Something I seem to have a flare for. Anyways, this is my very first attempt at a crossover with Utena/Sailor Moon. I just finished watching all of Revolutionary Girl Utena and I absolutely fell in love with it! I'm officially obsessed with this show. Sadly enough, I haven't watched the movie yet, but I will in the next few weeks...if I can survive that long that is! But since I'm notorious for spoiling things for myself, I've already watched enough AMV's and looked through enough sites to know what happens. Ahahaha, I know, that's bad, but can I help that I love Utena? Of course not, she's amazing!
Alright, to wrap this up, I'm going to put to rest any fears. The couplings are thus: Utena/Anthy, for I could never in a million years think of separating them and then Usagi/...I'm not quite sure on this one. I do promise it will be either Setsuna or Rei, but it's a tough choice. No matter who I choose though, both of them shall remain alive. I know in a few fics I've written, some that are not even posted, I tend to kill Rei if I haven't paired her with Usagi. That's a trend that'll just have to die, but I have few chapters to decide, so maybe it'll be a fence to ride just to keep you all enticed...so, Onward!

Title: Eternity Bride
Prologue
00000000000
The stars had never shined so brightly for him as they did this night. His dark eyes closed sleepily, a smile relaxing his dark features. The dazzling green eyes revealed themselves once again as the stars continued to wink. The lost prince had been lying there for most of the night, since the moment they had appeared. They seemed to wink only for him and that thought was the only one to comfort him these days. Ever since it had happened.
Who would have guessed that the curse had been lifted? Utena had freed Anthy by showing her Eternity and Anthy had followed her away from him. His teethe gritted together in his barely controlled rage.
Tenjou Utena.
All the signs had pointed to her defeat! Even if she had defeated the whole of the Student Council and the handful of Black Crest duelists, she had not beaten him. The Power of Dios was never a factor to him, for he was the Prince. Utena should have stayed his Princess and let the Witch suffer. It had been Anthy's duty and her punishment! How could the girl not accept that?
Himemiya Anthy.
His little sister who had loved him so much she locked him away from the rest of the world. She had been the only girl to never be a Princess and so became the cursed Witch. His lovely Rose Bride. He had been so sure that the duels would remain forever and the Power of Dios his. He had been so sure that he would always be Anthy's prince. His fist clenched tight as he remembered how wrong he had been.
Anthy had followed his every order, his every command no matter who she was engaged to at the time. How could he have not seen that she was slipping from his gasp? Even she had believed that it was all over in the last duel. Anthy had done what she was told, she had put the sword through Utena...
Akio growled as his hand let go the small dagger. Keen eyes watched it pierce the wall like many before it. His hands fisted around a few more, quickly whipping them at the wall in succession. Each one created a light yet deafening sound in the empty planetarium, soothing his pain. Akio sat up, staring intensely as he had all the other nights at the picture on the wall. The daggers all stuck close to Anthy's form in the picture, her smiling, beautiful picture.
"And it wasn't me you smiled for, was it little sister?" Another dagger filled the air with sound.
"I was too blinded by my plans to notice you smiled for her!" The next one nicked at her legs, impossibly close to another.
"I was your PRINCE!" He yelled out, throwing one last dagger. It pierced the picture, stabbing into Anthy's shoulder. Akio growled and stalked over to the small table the picture hung above.
His long hair spilled onto the table top as his head hung low, shaky breaths being pulled from his body as the rage took over. The lost prince lifted his head to stare at the picture crazily, his features twisted in hatred. Green eyes went left to peer at the untouched image next to Anthy's.
"You ruined it...Why couldn't you have been mine?" Akio raged pulling out a different dagger than the others and stabbed it into Utena's side. He didn't remove his hand or look away as all the other daggers fell to the floor and table with a clatter that seemed to last for eternity.
"Eternity..." He breathed out, yanking the dagger out effortlessly.
"Yes...no matter that I have lost Anthy. I can still find Eternity with another..." He stumbled over to the large windows and pressed his hot head to the cool glass. The moon came into his vision on the cloudless night.
"Yes, I can still find Eternity."
His words filled the void for the few slow seconds that the shade slides down to cover the window.

A/N: So yes, a short short prologue, but then, most prologues are short. It's seems a little stiff and I think there's some verb-tense confusion-like stuff happening but since its 6 minutes away from 3am and I have to go christmas shopping tomorrow, I don't really care. It's still a good setup for the first chapter and a bit of a recap if not a little confusing background for non-Utena watchers. Alright, no more rambling. Please review!
