Return to Innocence



That's not the beginning of the end

That's the return to yourself

The return to innocence

Love-Devotion-Feeling-Emotion

Don't be afraid to be weak

Don't be too proud to be strong

Just look into your heart my friend

That will be the return to yourself

The return to innocence.

If you want, then you start to laugh

If you must, then start to cry

Be yourself don't hide

Just believe in destiny

Don't care what people say

Just follow your own way

Don't give up and use the chance

To return to innocence.

That's not the beginning of the end

That's the return to yourself

The return to innocence

That's the return to innocence

For my prince:

Ai shiteru Ni-chan

It's a princess' duty to help her prince!

The Return To Innocence

By SilverWolf/Shel-chan

A confused Utena lies in bed, staring out into space. She listens to Anthy breathe and sighs.

*I'm so confused. . . is Akio my Prince? Does Touga really care about me? Is Juri a friend or enemy?*

*At least I can trust Anthy*

(Flashback)

"Utena-sama. . . I am the Rose Bride, I belong to you from now."

(End of Flashback)

Getting up and walking to the window, Utena stares out at Ohtori Academy.

(Somewhere in the darkness a red convertible's headlights are turned off)

A young girl with pink hair approaches the dueling arena. The doorway opens and the Absolute Destiny Apocalypse begins. Ten'jou just sits there, thinking about all that has happened to her over the last few weeks.

"I have a weakness, a great one . . . my Prince, but I can't be afraid."

Standing up in the Arena she screams, "Why do I have to be the strong one?"

She stops crying and looks up into Anthy's eyes.

"Why are you here, Anthy?"

"Because you need me," came the sweet caress of her voice.

In Anthy's eyes there is a reflection of innocence. She smiles and helps her prince up, and is swept into a hug. She holds Utena in her time of need and swears that she will guide her to victory.

"Itoshii, just believe in destiny, just follow you own way and don't give up and use the chance to return to innocence," her soft voice comforting and soothing.

Utena stared at Anthy and realized that she was right! She embraced her princess and kissed her on the lips. It was electric!

"Ai shiteru, mai hime"

Together they walked back to their room.

That's not the beginning of the end

That's the return to yourself

The return to innocence

That's the return to innocence
