Chapter 1: Returning...
=======================================
( PG - 13 )
Utena sits by the large table, sipping some tea that Anshi made. She is thinking deeply to herself.
Anshi looks at Utena, a worried look across her face. "Miss Utena? Are you ok?"
Utena looks up and smiles reassuringly. "Of course I am Anshi! And please, stop calling me Miss Utena..."
Anshi nods her head. "Alright Miss Utena..."
Utena sweatdrops and sighs as she finishes off the rest of her tea.
Anshi stands up after finishing her tea and picks up her's and Utena's cup, taking them to the Kitchen to wash.
Utena stands up and grabs her bag. "Anshi! Hurry up or we'll be late!"
Anshi walks out of the Kitchen and smiles, grabbing her bag. "Of course Miss Utena."
Utena walks out of the huge, empty dorm, and follows the Path way to Ohtori Acadamy, Anshi trailing beside
her.
"Utena! Utena! My love!" Wakaba runs up to Utena and hugs her tightly.
Utena sweatdrops. "Uh, Hi Wakaba."
Wakaba giggles. "Come Utena, We sould get going to class or we'll be late!"
Utena sighs and carries Wakaba on her back all the way the class. Half way there, Wakaba says something
very interesting.
"Hey Utena, Guess what." Wakaba smiles.
"What?" Utena looks at her from the side of her eye.
"A new student arrived here yesterday. She's really cool, not as cool as you of course. But people are saying
she looks alot like you."
Utena looks back at her completely. "Really? Heh... I guess I've started a trend." Utena thinks to herself,'A girl
who looks like me...'.
Utena sits down in her seat, as Anshi and Wakaba sit in their seats.
The teacher comes in. "Good Morning Class."
Everyone replies. "Good Morning."
The teacher clears her throat. "Today, We have a new student coming into our class."
Everyone perks up a bit espeically Utena.
A young girl walks in with long Blonde hair, in almost the same style as Utena, but she is wearing a Girl's
Uniform and has Emerald Green eyes. She smiles warmly.
"Please, Introduce yourself." The teacher says.
She walks up closer to the class. "My name is Tenjou Rei. It is very nice to meet you all..." She bows her head
making a slight glance at Utena as her smile fades.
Everyone nods there head. One girl raises her hand.
She looks over to her. "Yes?"
The girl has an anxious look on her face. "Are you Utena's sister?"
Rei blinks. "Who? "
The girl points to her. "Her, She's Utena Tenjou!"
Rei looks over to her and smiles, bowing her head. "Hello Miss Tenjou, How strange it is we have the same last
names."
The teacher clears her throat. "Well Miss Tenjou, you may sit in front of Kami."
She nods her head and takes her seat. As the lecture goes on Utena wonders silently to herself.
'Rei Tenjou... she really is like me...' Utena's eyes widen as she see's a rose seal on her hand. 'A roe seal!? Is
she a Duelist!?'
"MISS TENJOU!" An eraser hits Utena's head. "Pay Attention!"
Utena holds her head. "Ow... Alright."
After school is over Utena is with Anshi in her Garden. Utena is thinking to herself again.
Anshi looks over to Utena. "Is something the matter, Miss Utena?"
Utena sighs. "It's that new girl, Rei... I think... She's a duelist..."
Anshi blinks and looks at her. "Oh, is that bad, Miss Utena??"
Utena looks at Anshi and sweatdrops. "Anshi... She's going to want to Duel with me like all the rest... I can't
handle that..."
Anshi goes back to watering her roses. "If you say so, Miss Utena."
"If the chick can not break out of it's shell, the chick will die with out ever being born." Juri's shadow appears.
"We are the chick and the world is our egg." Miki's shadow appears.
"If we do not break the world's shell, we will die with out ever truely being born," Touga's shadow appears.
"For the Revolution of the world..." Touga says.
"FOR THE REVOLUTION OF THE WORLD!" Everyone says.
Touga is seen standing, leaning against the wall. "Have you all heard?"
Juri is siting in a chair, her hand on her chin. "About the Mysterious Girl, Rei Tenjou?"
Miki stops his stopwatch. "Quite strange she is.. to be almost exsactly like Utena and still not be related."
Touga closes his eyes and smiles. "Well, who ever she is, I know this much..."
Juri looks at him from the side of her eye. "And what is that, Touga Kirui?"
He smirks. "She is a Duelist..."
Miki looks at him. "What? Another Duelist?"
Touga tosses Juri his letter from the end of the world.
Juri reads it. "So it is... Rei Tenjou is the next Duelist."
Miki looks at his stop watch, his hand shaking a little.
Touga opens his eyes, a sly look coming across his face. "I guess I have a little researching to do..."
Juri looks at him. "Researching... hmm?"
Touga grins.
Rei sits by a tree, looking up at the sky. "This world... I've forgotten what kind of beauty it's holds." She closes
her eyes and drifts off into a light sleep. She begins to dream...
* Everything is blurry, covered by dark fog and mist... a young woman is standing on one side of the middle in a
Huge Arena, kinda like the Forest Arena. She is holding a sword, silver, with a saphire gem on the holding part
of the sword. The glare of Emerald eyes look at another Duelist. He smirks, a white uniform upon himself. He
lifts up a Platinum sword, with a green gem on the holding part of the sword.
Her blonde hair flies lightly in the wind. "In the name of Heaven! I will Defeat you Prince of Darkness!". She
stands in a battle pose.
He licks his lips, holding his sword casually. "As you wish... Queen of Soul..." She charges at him, a battle cry
escaping her lips. In a manner of seconds, blood flies. She holds her sword against his, glaring.
He grins, " I wonder what will happen now Queen of Soul..."
She flips back a few times landing in a spiral. She growls slightly.
He brushes back his white hair his green eyes gleaming. "I know... I'll gain the power of the Golden rose Key
won't I? Then I'll be able to call upon the power to bring revolution!"
She let's out another battle cry. "I'll never, EVER let you gain that power! It belongs to me alone!" She slashs her
sword quickly, her face bleeding ever so slightly. The swords clash once again, but this time... he is injuried
badly.
He falls to the ground, holding his stomach, he glares. "You fool... You'll never... bring upon revolution..."
She smirks. "I know that ... but you must reliease something... someone... much greater than me... will... and
she... will change this world... for the better..."
His eyes widen. "No! I will never allow her to! She will never get the Golden key of the Rose Seal!" The whole
arena shakes.
Her eyes widen. "No, what are you doing?! You'll kill both of us!" She looks at him, but he's gone. Her face goes
pale. A blood curdling scream is heard as the arena crummbles. But these last words of love and truth are
heard. "My little Princess... I swore I'd come back to you... and I'll keep that promise... Forever... I will..."
Everything fades... and so the nightmare ends..*
She slowly opens her eyes and shakes her head. "No... Not that dream again... It keeps playing over and over in
my mind..... and why... am I the duelist...." She looks at her ring. "This ring... It brought me here... and here... I will
stay..." She stands up, and starts to walk away, when she sees someone in front of her. She looks up at him.
"My... My... they didn't lie when they said you looked like Utena. Though I must admit... you seem a whole lot
cuter." He smirks, his red hair falling over his shoulder.
She steps back. "Who are you?"
His face comes close to her's. "Why... I'm Touga, the President of the Student Counsil. I'm very honored to met
someone like you..." He runs his hand through a bit of her silky, blonde hair.
She blushes lightly. "Um.. Hello then, Touga-kun..."
He places a hand gently on her cheek. "You're quite well-mannered and clean... I like that in a girl..." With out
another thought.. He kisses her...
Her eyes widen.
All of a sudden a stick flies out of no where and hits Touga on the Head.
Touga looks up. "What the?!"
A guy with Medium Green hair and deep blue eyes smirks. "You know... It's not nice to hit on someone else's
girlfriend, even if they are the Student Consil President."
She smiles brightly. "Ruka-chan!!"She runs away from Touga and hugs Ruka.
He smiles warmly. "Rei-ko..." He looks back at Touga. "I wouldn't suggest you ever think about doing that
again...." He glares.
Touga just grins that ever so often grin. "hmph.... Well... I guess unlike Utena... she has a Prince..." He sees a
ring on Ruka's finger too. "You're both duelists correct?"
Rei's grasp on Ruka tightens and get's a upset look on her face. "We don't duel!"
Ruka glares harder. "Yes... It is against our morals..."
Touga's grin disappears. "Oh? That's too bad... You both seem to make such wonderful duelists... oh well... if
you change your mind... you can always come to the Dueling arena." He walks off.
Rei looks down. "Maybe..."
Ruka get's a worried look. "Don't even think about Rei... Dueling is not our thing..."
Rei Looks up at him. "Just once Ruka, Please, I've waited so long..."
Ruka sighs... "No Rei... It's a bad idea... now Come on.. let's go to our dorms..."
Rei looks down and nods her head, following him to their dorm.
*Ring Ring, Ring Ring* "Huh? Who on earth could be calling here at this time of hour." Utena walks out from the
table and answers the phone. "Hello?"
"Come to the Dueling Area tonight if you really want to see a fight." A shallow voice says.
Utena's eyes widen. "Wait! Who is this?!"
The phone hangs up and Utena looks at Anshi. "Come on Anshi, I think something bad is about to happen."
Anshi blinks. "Yes Miss Utena." She follows Utena out of the house.
Touga stands their, grinning at Rei. The 4 other duelists look onto her as well.
Rei glares. "I don't see why you bothered challenging me..." She clentches onto her metal sword.
Touga laughs lightly. "To find out who you really are. We of the student counsil are not todal idiots."
Rei hisses. "What are you talking about!? I'm just a normal girl!"
Nanami walks up beside her brother. "Don't lie to my big brother! You have a rose seal!"
Rei blinks. "A what?"
Juri holds up her hand, showing her rose seal. "One of these..."
Rei steps back. "So what... It's just a ring I happen to have."
Touga's grin fades. "You just don't happen to have a rose seal... You must get it from somewhere."
Rei glares even harder as she takes her battle pose.
"What ever you're planning, you can forget about it!" Utena appears with Anshi in her rosebride dress. She
glares hard at Touga.
Saionji smiles slyly in satisfaction. "So... You came after all Utena?"
Rei looks back at her, her eyes widen as she flips back away from all of them, clentching onto her sword hard.
She lands, straightening out her white uniform and quickly fixing her High-heeled boots that go up Knee High,
White on some of the bottom and red the rest of the way up. "Not another Duelist..."
Touga steps back and grins at Utena. "Why, I just wanted to talk to the new girl, Rei. Is that too much to ask?"
Utena glares. "I know you Touga... there is always a skeem behide your false intentions."
Anshi looks at Rei and her eyes widen, her heart stopping. 'No... She couldn't be... Queen of Soul!?' She steps
back.
Rei looks at Anshi, getting de ja vu. Her eyes widen. "The Rosebride?!" She steps back.
Utena looks at Anshi and then back at Rei. Sees her clearly for the first time. "So, you are really a duelist too?"
Rei glares and steps back more. "I guess I am... But I would like to know what you're doing with the rosebride...
Anshi-sama..."
Miki replies. "Simple... Anshi is engaged to Utena, the reining dueling champion."
Rei looks at Miki then at Utena. "No... all of this is so confusing... What on earth is going on..?!" She closes her
eyes and cries out. "RUKA-SAMA!"
A bright light appears beside her and Ruka, in his Dueling Uniform, appears and holds onto Rei from the back.
Utena blinks. "Who are you?"
Ruka looks at Utena coldly. "I am Ruka... " Looks at Rei , grinning softly. "I told you it was a bad idea to come
here... you know neither of us know our true destiny yet. Neither of us should be here now."
Rei looks back to Ruka. "I'm sorry.. but I just had to have one duel.. I just had to."
Ruka closes his eyes, let's go, walks beside her and then looks at all of them. "Then who is first to challenge Rei
Tenjou?"
