This story starts out two years after the TV series. The Prologue is only to set the setting of the story. Akio is no longer a villain, well not exactly anyway. Dios is actually going to finally get a personality, but not till chapter 3. Please enjoy, and then review please.
Disclaimer: I don't anything from Shoujo Kakumei Utena. Chito-sensei and others do. The characters I make up are mine though.

Revelation of the Duelists By: Onna OojiPROLOUGE: UP-TO-DATE WITH FATE
It's been two years since revolution was brought to Ootori Gakuen and the world. Everyone was free from the grips of the 'Ends Of The World'. Even the ôji-sama in the castle of illusion and the Bara No Hanayome were free from Akio's manipulation. But everyone at Ootori Gakuen; had forgotten the girl who had brought it within a month of the event. The Bara No Hanayome left to find her friend, while the ôji named Dios disappeared completely from Ootori, but not from the world.
The trustee came back from being ill so long and took his position back. Kanae called off her wedding to Akio and left after graduation to attend an institution in France. Akio at first was just floating around the gakuen when he decided to sign-up for the graduate school there. He started to truly enjoy himself for once in this life. He was free from himself.
Kiryuu Touga continued kôtôgakkô (High School) and is now in college there. He still is a playboy, just not as bad as before. His imoto, Kiryuu Nanami, is no longer obsessive over him, and now actually has real friends. Her Tsuwabuki and her have some sorts of strong bond developing, but noting intimate will happen until Mitsuru is in 10th. Four years to go. Nanami is enjoying her last year of chûgakkô (junior high). None of then remembers Utena.
Saionji Kyoichi is sane and his friendship with Touga has once again become that of best friends. He still is the Captain of the Kendô Club and Vice-President of the Student Council. He often spars with Touga. Saionji went out with Shinohara Wakaba on a few dates. It turned out that feelings were more of that of siblings than a potential couple. Since then they have been friends. Neither of them remembers Utena.
Arisugawa Juri, 12th grader at Ootori, member is the Student Council; Captain of the Fencing Club; and stills has a strong influence over teachers. She has a strong friendship with Takatsuki Shiori, but nothing intimate. For Juri has been freed from Shiori, the locket, and her bitter past since the game of Revolution ended. Tsuchiya Ruka has been in contact and will be returning soon to finish off school at Ootori. None remembers the victor of the duels.
Two years. For two years Himemiya Anthy has been in search of Tenjou Utena, but she always seems two steps behind Utena. Anthy would follow clues to places only to find out that 'the girl with pink hair' had already left the certain place a while ago. Finally, Anthy's clues lead her back to the place she loves; yet the same time hates: Ootori Gakuen.
'Why has Utena returned to this place?' goes through her mind. "Well, on to the gates. Come on, Chu Chu." Anthy holds Chu Chu in her grip as he struggles to run from the gates.
"Chu chu chuu. CHU CHU CHUUUU!" translation: "Are you crazy?! I WON'T GO MISTRESS!!!" Chu Chu is wigging out like a guinea pig.
"It's okay Chu Chu. I'm going to try to not have any contact with… Akio. Utena… I will find you."

A young woman with long, long pink is standing on the top of a dorm house roof. The air is rippling through her hair. She sighs.
"Fate brings me back here."
Author's Notes: I'm going to be as true to the characters as possible. I've had this story forming in my head since I read all the translations and summaries I could find on the TV series, 3 years ago. So please be kind if you want. PLEASE REVIEW. I'm very nervous about these kinds of things. You may even e-mail me if you want; OnnaOoji@aol.com P.S. I don't like Shiori very much and believe that Juri deserves much better. Anyway, at the end of the series she's freed from her feelings for Shiori .
Stay tuned for the next chapter: 'Chapter 1: Child From The Sky' which is almost done.
