** Insert song ' Hikari no Naka e' from Vision of Escaflowne, sung by Sakamoto Ma'aya.**
+*+*+*
" We shall be learning a new song before heading off to competition next month for the school. The orders have not yet to arrive, but here is a copy of the first page from the booklet," Utsuma-sensei announced, passing out the sheet music. Tina tapped her pencil lightly on her desk and rolled her eyes. ' Ooohh, competition-
hasn't stopped me yet!'
These things were never hard and easy to accomplish because aside from art, sleep, bathing, and outdoor activities, music was second dearest to life aside from her drawings and love. Speaking of ' love'... Touga was three seats ahead of her, writing something. Curious, the blonde smiled some and took a sheet of paper from her notebook and a pink jellpen from her bookbag. She wrote something down and blew lightly on the ink, drying it. It said:
``
Oi, Kiryuu;
Whatcha writing down over there? I want to be nosey. Do tell.
- Tina
``
Folding it into a simple small square, she took aim and threw it. The paper hit Touga in the back of the head, causing him to jump only slightly. He looked behind him to see who had done it, but recongized the pink scrawl that bled through the paper. Picking it up from the floor, the Student Council president read it and smirked ever so coyly. He wrote back on the same sheet and tossed it back, careful to not get caught by the teacher. Touga looked down at the sheet music in front of him and raised a red eyebrow. ' A love song? Ah... it's a duet type.'
Tina unfolded the note and her eyes widened and eyebrows raised up high, her cheeks flushing a dusty rose-pink.
``
Dearest Tina,
' I'm writing about how I shall capture you and take you inside the closet over there and seduce you to no end. Then, I shall bury myself in you and make you mine. How does that sound?
- Touga
``
" Shittamata...," moaned the girl inwardly, banging her head on her desk, and rather loudly as well. " Tillings, are you alright this morning?," questioned the teacher, her hazel gaze on her, face worried. " Umm... yes, ma'am. I'm sorry," mumbled Tina, picking up her blonde head and her jellpen.
``
Kiryuu,
You are ever so blunt...
You have the most damn, perverted mind on this planet. I wouldn't sleep with you if my life depended on it! And in the cloest?!! How tacky is that???
- Tina
``
``
Lovely Tina,
Do you perfer somewhere else? Something morre to your taste? I wouldn't say pervert, darling. I would rather suggest simply charming in the ways of romancing.
- Touga
``
``
Big-Red Ego,
BLAH! What the feck are you talking about? Romancing? You couldn't charm your way outta fish bowl. Or a shark pit... hee, hee... :):):)
- Tina
``
Angel,
A shark pit? No, that would be quite uncomforable to make sweet love to you in... how about underneath a waterfall?
- Touga
``
Tina stared at the paper and then glared at the sly, smiling young man, face as red has his hair. She mouthed, " You hentai!" Touga appeared shocked and blinked innocently and mouth back, " Who? Me?" Silently flicking him off, Tina turned her attention to her music and sung the notes to herself, eyes scanning the page. " Tillings?" " Yes?" " I would like you to come up here please for a moment." The girl shrugged her shoulders and stood, walking up to Ustuma-sensei. " I would like you to sing this for me... to improve your Japanese a bit more," she assured, voice gentle. Tina nodded and looked at the song. " Hey!!! I know this song! It's from a show I still watch!," gasped Tina lightly, smiling at the familiar words. " Sing it, please?" " Yes, ma'am..."
" Nigiri shimeta te wo hodoita nara,
tabun kore de subete ga ima owatte shimau,
shiritakatta koto kizutsuku koto
sae mo nanihitotsu yarinokoshita mama de...
Anata ga deau shiawase wo
negaitai hazu na no ni
dekinai mijuku na jibun ni
fuite mo namida ga deru...
...dakishimete
hanasanaide
dakedo hitokoto mo
tsutaerarenaide...
... nakanaide
aishite-iru
tooku hanarete'te mo
anata to ikite yukeru..."
She finished on a high note she did herself, it slowly echoing in the classroom, drinking into the walls and ears of that of the students who stared at her with mouths closed and eyes on her silently. Even Nanami stared at her, violet orbs wide and face slack. Touga stared at her with a fierce, smoldering gaze, partially hidden by red strands of hair, a small smile playing on his handsome face. Tina brought the piece of paper down to her side slowly, biting her bottom lip, blushing madly. A clap started somewhere and soon, the whole class was applauding her. Tina smiled and bowed. A shadow came over her and the smell of wild roses and charondy whirled about her. She knew who it was. Standing and staring at him with a cool gaze, Tina was being held down by Akio's green eyes. " Beautiful...," was the only thing that emitted from his lips as Tina looked down at the floor. " May I see her outside, Ustuma-sama?," he asked the teacher, placing a warm hand on Tina's shoulder. " I want to give her something about singing lessons. You were right... she is gifted," boasted Akio, laughing some. " Yes, you may, chairman."
While she walked to the door, Tina felt Touga's gaze on her and she slightly turned her head, and mouthed, " Don't worry about it." But yet, her hands trembled and her heart was beating fast. What did Akio want with her? She soon found out when the door shut behind her softly and his hand grabbed her arm, swinging her around to face him. " O-oi! What did I do?!!," she hissed, scared for the first time at this man. She was answered with brusingly kiss from him, stiffening from this action. Tina was shocked and pushed him away, aqua eyes wide. " I... I can't do this anymore...," she stuttered, clutching at the front of her shirt. Akio glared at her. " What does that mean, exactly?" The blonde swallowed and stood up straighter, face firm. " I'm not doing this anymore. I'm not something you can play around with. I'm staying here," Tina said strongly, clenching her fists. The chairman narrowed his green eyes into slits and suddenly, the air around the two seemed to diminish into an unhappy atmosphere and Tina shrank back away from the tall, burly man, trembling.
" You have already entered the realm."
With a tremor running throughout her body, Tina gasped and jerked backwards, and in a flash of dazzling, diamond light, her dueling uniform was on. Looking around, she found herself in the same arena that she was once in with Saionji. Her blonde hair pulsed through the wind, curling and twisting to its desire. Akio stood a good fifty feet away in a handsome white uniform and red, silk cape, a gold sword in his tan hands and a light violet rose on his breast pocket. Tina glanced at him, confused.
" No, you won't duel me. You'll duel- him."
Twisting her head around, Tina saw a sight that made her nearly cry out. It was Miki, standing quietly in the distance, holding a fenching sword and staring down at his stopwatch, his sky blue eyes solid and faded. " Miki-kun... no, you... wouldn't. For who? Him... or her...?," pleaded Tina, reaching out for him a little. The slender boy lifted his blue head and looked past Tina, seeing now Annei on the arena floor in her red gown and wearing a sad face, holding a royal-blue rose and an imperial white rose within her grasp. " I will duel against you for the Rose Bride. It is only neccesary because you are in the way of a glorious, new revolution. You are a nuisance. You must be eliminated, dear, sweet Tina," Miki said aloud in a monotone, soft voice. Silence stetched upon the green field until Annei approached and pinned the roses on the two duelists pockets. " Fine," Tina answered back, voice strong and unwavering. Annei looked up at her master and smiled a bit, eyes gentle.
She concentrated on her power and bent her back, the illuminating light forming around her. Tina reached down and held her in her arms, pulling her right arm up and placing the hand on Annei's chest. A new incantation fell from Tina's lips.
" Sword of Dios- come to the One that summones you,
Fullfil the wish I have,
Unsheath yourself from the Rose Bride's body into my hand,
Dios, fill me with your glory-
ARISE!!!"
Beams of white light, tinted with the colours of the rainbow came unto the girls and the sword was pulled forth, the blade of silver flashing dangerously and thus, Annei was placed down on the gentle ground and Tina held the radiant sword before her, face tense and body ready. Akio
watched this intently, a smile playing on his lips. " Proceed, Miki." With that, the boy rushed forth, pushing the blade high up in the air. Tina blocked him easily, throwing Miki off and striking back. The heavy clanging of the blades echoed into the field, sounds of grunts, yells, and feet moving following along. Miki's blade sliced against Tina's shoulder, ripping the fine fabric, but missing the rose by just meer inches, frightening the blonde. It broke through the skin, causing blood to spurt out and soak up into the black uniform top. Tina grasped at it in pain, and rose her arm up quickly, dodging a blow from Miki. " Come on now, Tina. Just give in... Akio is a wonderful person," cooed Miki softly, smiling so unlike himself. Tina was scared for him. " No!!! I can't do it! But, I'll get you back! Come back with me, Miki... come back to our own world," whispered Tina, pushing back against the blade, heels digging into the dirt. Miki stared back at her, eyes growing a dark, navy blue.
" My world is here with him."
" WHAT ABOUT KOUZE?!?!!"
That woke him up. " Kouze... my sister?" " Yes!!! YES! Your sister! What about her? Without, she's alone. In your garden... the sunlit garden," urged Tina, hoping that this would break Miki from Akio's bonds. " Don't listen to her, Miki!," shouted Akio from the other side. " Kouze is safe!" Tina glared at him. " YOU'RE LYING STRAIGHT AT HIM!!! Miki, listen to me; Kouze isn't safe here at the academy. Don't fight me, fight at him- the one who's caused you suffering and saddness..." Tina fell onto the ground, dropping her hand and staring up at the boy. Annei watched this from the left side of the arena, a smile on her face. " Look, Brother. It's working. You thought that it was not possible, but she is back. Utena-sama has returned," she called to him triumphantly, nearly swelling with pride. " It has not to be prooven yet. Miki is still under my influence, dear sister. Not unless you think that she really has, Utena may bring Miki back to the Real World," challenged Akio.
" She can do it," Annei answered sternly, green orbs flashing dangerously at her brother, daring to define him.
Tina, meanwhile, was cringing in pain slightly from her shoulder, and raised her hand to hold it again. Miki's eyes changed back into their normal colour and he fell to his knees, moaning slightly in pain. " Miki-kun... daijoubu?," Tina asked, curious and a bit scared. " I- I think so... what happened, Tina-san?," the boy asked, hands raking through his hair. " ... he made you duel me. Gomen nasi, Miki-kun, but I had to protect Annei from you," the blonde apologized, biting on her bottom lip. " Gomen nasi back for attacking you, but, when you said my sister's name- I froze. I would never hurt Kouze in anyway," he whispered, hugging himself, hunching over some as if he didn't want to be seen. " And I would never harm you or her in anyway. Whatever Akio tells you, none of it's true. I love you as a friend and would stay by you through whatever," Tina said lowly, trying to get to his good side and not lead him back to Akio. Miki looked up at the girl before him in a duelist uniform like Utena's, blonde hair strewn about her in lovely curls and dirty and bloody, eyes bright aqua and shinning. Miki reached out and briefly touched her cut and frowned sadly. " I'll fix that." Tina simply smiled softly and nodded. " Okay." With that, Tina plucked the royal-blue rose from his breast pocket and tossed it into the air, petals flying everywhere.
**
Annei was having the time of her life. Akio was simply trembling in rage for the fact Tina had control over Miki now and that he did not. " What did I tell you, Brother? She has returned. Admit it."
Akio glared at her and started to walk away, the red cape flapping noiselessly in the air. " Her power hasn't grown yet. There is still more time!"
The Rose Bride narrowed her lovely eyes and hung her head down, ebony hair slipping down her shoulders. " Then I'll train her the best way I can," she whispered, clenching her tan hands together.
Are we happy? Yes we are. ^____^ I listened to the opening of " Chobits" while writing this. Thank Kami-sama for Imesh.com. That's a life-saver from Napster. Review kindly and be sweet!!!

Akio stood a good fifty feet away in a handsome white uniform and red, silk cape, a gold sword in his tan hands and a light violet rose on his breast pocket. Tina glanced at him, confused.
" No, you won't duel me. You'll duel- him."
Twisting her head around, Tina saw a sight that made her nearly cry out. It was Miki, standing quietly in the distance, holding a fenching sword and staring down at his stopwatch, his sky blue eyes solid and faded. " Miki-kun... no, you... wouldn't. For who?

" My world is here with him."
" WHAT ABOUT KOUZE?!?!!"
That woke him up. " Kouze... my sister?" " Yes!!! YES! Your sister! What about her? Without, she's alone. In your garden... the sunlit garden," urged Tina, hoping that this would break Miki from Akio's bonds. " Don't listen to her, Miki!," shouted Akio from the other side. " Kouze is safe!" Tina glared at him. " YOU'RE LYING STRAIGHT AT HIM!!! Miki, listen to me; Kouze isn't safe here at the academy. Don't fight me, fight at him- the one who's caused you suffering and saddness..."

Akio glared at her and started to walk away, the red cape flapping noiselessly in the air. " Her power hasn't grown yet. There is still more time!"
The Rose Bride narrowed her lovely eyes and hung her head down, ebony hair slipping down her shoulders. " Then I'll train her the best way I can," she whispered, clenching her tan hands together.
