Chapter 9: Wakaba the Amazon
Utena gasped in shock at the figure standing in the dust. How had she found her here? Before the dust could settle, Utena hoped into the closet and closed the door behind her. Hopefully Wakaba didn't notice her and Anthy wouldn't give away her location. As the dust settled, Wakaba slowly approached Anthy.
"Where Utena-sama?" She asked. Anthy just blinked. Who was this girl? By the way Utena had hid herself in the closet, she guessed Utena didn't want to see her. So she pointed back out the newly formed hole in the wall.
"That way." She said. Wakaba turned and hopped back out the hole.
"Utena-sama!" She cried as she left. Once Wakaba was a good distance away, Anthy walked over to the closet and opened it.
"She's gone now." She told Utena. Utena sighed as she came out of the closet (heh heh).
"Just how did she find me here?" She asked once she was out. "Will I never get away from her?"
"Just who was she anyways?" Anthy asked as the two left St. Hibeki's. Utena sighed again.
"It's a long story that happened while me and dad were in China." She began as she found hot water to change back.
*Flashback to China 2 months ago*
A rainstorm had just passed the area, leaving Utena and Mikage in their cursed forms. What a wonderful trip they were having so far. They followed their guide into a village.
"Here we are at Village of Amazons." The guide announced as the two tourists sat down at a food table. "Today they have dueling tournament to determine who is strongest." Utena and Mikage looked up from the food to see Wakaba dueling a large woman on a beam.
"They're pretty good." Utena commented with her mouth full of food. Wakaba lunged at the woman, knocking her off the beam. The crowd watching cheered. "She's very good." Just then Wakaba glared at Utena and Mikage.
"Um, what you eating?" The guide asked. Utena then noticed the first place sign in front of the food they were eating. Wakaba lunged at Utena and Mikage, slicing the table in half. She then yelled something in Chinese.
"She say she fight hard to win then find pink haired boy and panda eating her prize." The guide translated. Utena looked sheepish. She hadn't known this was the prize until now. Then she came up with an idea.
"Well then I'll duel her. If I win then there's no problem." The guide translated this to Wakaba and soon they were both on the beam with swords.
"First one to fall from beam loses." The guide told Utena. Utena nodded.
"I'm ready when you are." She said. The two lunged at each other and Utena promptly knocked Wakaba from the beam. The whole crowd gasped at this. Utena made a victory pose. Wakaba picked herself off the ground. She walked over to Utena and placed a kiss right on her lips. The whole crowd gasped again as Wakaba snuggled into Utena's arms. Utena stood their stunned, wondering what was going on.
"Oh!" Exclaimed the guide, "She give you Kiss of Marriage. It Amazon promise to hunt down and marry one kissed." Utena pushed Wakaba off of her.
"What?!?! But I don't want to get married!" Utena said. The guide then grabbed her arm.
"Then best we leave!" He yelled as he dragged her away from the village. Mikage ran after them.
*End flashback*
"So from that point on, no matter where we went, Wakaba would also pop up trying to seduce me." Utena finished explaining. Anthy sighed when she heard Utena's story.
"I don't know why you don't just marry her." She said, "She was pretty cute." Utena grinned when she heard this.
"Oh, so you have a crush on her." She teased. Anthy blushed. "I knew you were like that." Anthy swung her fist at Utena, hitting her in the back of the head. Utena then rubbed the back of her head.
"I was just saying she was cute. I didn't mean anything like that." Anthy said as the two entered the Himemiya resident. The entered the living room to find the whole family around the table with Wakaba.
"Oh you're home." Dios chimed, "Wakaba here says she's a friend of yours, Utena-kun. She followed your dad here." Mikage sat their as a panda looking sheepish.
"Utena-sama!" Wakaba screamed as she glomped Utena. She snuggled into Utena, then noticed something odd and backed up. She placed one hand on Utena's chest and squeezed. The other on her crotch and squeezed.
"Girl…" She was quite puzzled about this. Utena sighed as she realized Wakaba had never seen her as a girl before.
"Ya, I'm a girl." She said. Wakaba looked her up and down.
"Where male Utena?" She asked.
"He's not here at the moment." Utena told her as she sat down at the table. Anthy sat down beside her and snuggled with Chu-Chu who was waiting for her.
Later that night, Utena was practicing in the Dojo when Miki walked in. He walked over to her and smirked.
"So, I've heard all about you and that Wakaba girl." He said as he approached her, "She quite attractive, don't you think?" Utena just glared at him.
"Where are you going with this?" She asked. Miki smirked as he held up a bucket filled with water.
"She came all this way to find a male Utena to marry, but you just had to disappoint her by being female." He stepped towards her. "Don't you think you should be a man and marry her?" He raised the bucket and Utena kicked the contents all over Miki.
"Sure, you just want Anthy all for yourself once I'm gone, don't ya?" She screamed as she chased Chu-Chu down the hall. "Get back here ya little runt!" Chu-Chu ran into the living room and hopped into Anthy's arms. Utena crashed into the room with a practice sword after him. Wakaba then crashed into the room, sword drawn.
"We duel." She said as she faced Utena, raising her sword to strike. Utena looked pissed.
"I don't have time for this." She flung her practice sword into Wakaba, knocking her to the ground. Everyone gasped at this.
"Utena-kun, doesn't this mean she'll want to marry you female form too now?" Akio asked. Utena then gasped. She had totally forgotten about that. Wakaba pulled herself off the ground and placed a kiss on Utena's lips. Everyone gasped again. Utena blushed heavily as Wakaba pulled away and raised her sword above her head.
"Utena, I kill!" She screamed as she brought her sword down. Utena leapt out of the way.
"What's going on?" She screamed as Wakaba chased her around trying to kill her. The ran around the yard for five minutes until Utena tripped into the pond, unnoticed by Wakaba. When she resurfaced, Wakaba took a good look at her and glomped her.
"Utena-sama!" She squealed. Utena sighed as she climbed out of the pond, Wakaba attached to her, not letting go. She made her way back into the living room and sat down at the table.
"What is going on here?" She asked. Wakaba then pulled out a book titled 'Amazon Laws' and put it on the table. Mamiya picked it up and started reading.
"Very interesting." He said.
"What?" Everyone asked.
"I can't read Chinese." At that everyone fell over. Akio ripped the book from his father's hands and began to read.
"It says if an Amazon is defeated by an outsider of the opposite sex, the must give Kiss of Marriage and marry them. However if the outsider is the same sex, then they must give Kiss of Death and kill them." Akio explained. Everyone stared at him.
"You can read Chinese?" Anthy asked.
"No, there's a translation underneath." Akio explained.
"How did I miss that?" Mamiya asked. Utena just sighed.
"Great, I'm screwed either way." She said. She then came up with an idea and turned to face Wakaba. "Listen Wakaba, I can't marry you." She said and grabbed Anthy, "I already have a fiancée right here." Wakaba looked Anthy up and down as she stood up to leave.
"Wakaba will have Utena-sama!" She said as she left.
The next morning, Anthy went to wake Utena up for school and a bath. The whole ordeal last night had left Utena so tired, that she went right to bed as a guy. Anthy opened the door and found Wakaba snuggled up the Utena, who was sleeping with a grin on her face. Anthy's eyebrow twitched. She ran downstairs and grabbed the kettle off the stove. With no second thought, she splashed the contents onto Utena. Utena bolted up.
"Ack! Hot!" She screamed. Wakaba got up beside her and placed her hand on Utena's chest. Her eyes then narrowed.
"Girl Utena! Kill!" She screamed as she chased Utena around with her sword. Utena screamed.
Later at lunch, Utena and Anthy sat in their class room surrounded by their peers. They weren't talking after what had happened that morning. Just then the wall burst opened and a cloud of dust covered the room. Utena panicked and splashed herself with her drink, deciding having Wakaba glomping her was much better then being chased around with a sword. Wakaba approached her as the dust settled.
"Utena-sama!" Wakaba cried as she approached Utena. The peers all looked puzzled at this.
"Hey, did she just call the Pink-Haired Boy Utena?" One boy asked.
"Where did he come from anyways?" Another asked.
"Wasn't Tenjou-kun just sitting there? Where did she go?" Asked another.
"Are they related?" One girl asked.
"Hey remember how at the gymnastics duel the other day, Tenjou-kun said that she and the Pink-Haired Boy were one?" One said.
"No way, does that mean Utena-sama is into incest?" A random girl asked. Utena just ignored all the comments as Wakaba placed a tray in front of her.
"Wakaba make lunch!" She said. Utena looked sheepish as she held up a store bought snack.
"But I already have a lunch." She said.
"Wakaba lunch better!" Wakaba said as she lifted the cover of the tray, to reveal Chu-Chu. Anthy screamed.
"Chu-Chu! Are you alright?" She cried as she ripped Chu-Chu off the tray and shook him. She smiled with relief as he opened his eyes. She then turned and glared at Wakaba.
"And you, how dare you try to serve an innocent little monkey as lunch!" She screamed as she raised her practice sword. "I challenge you to a duel." Wakaba grinned.
"Follow." She said. With that, both girls left the room for their duel. Utena sat their stunned for a few minutes. 'Wait, if Anthy wins the duel, then she'll receive the Kiss of Death too.' At that she bolted up and left the room. The rest of the students were still discussing the relationship between Utena and the Pink-Haired Boy.
Utena ran into the field in her search of Anthy. She hoped that Wakaba hadn't already killed her. 'Oh Anthy, this is all my fault.' She thought as she ran to the soccer field to find Anthy standing there, with Wakaba no where in sight. She sighed with relief as she ran to Anthy's side.
"Anthy, you're alright!" She asked as she walked up beside her, "What happened to Wakaba?" Anthy turned to face her.
"Do I know you?" She asked. Utena blinked.
