Chapter 7
A/N- This is the final chapter! That's right... The last one!! I'll only add more if I get an overwhelming response, but other than that, this is the end of my first multi-chaptered Utena fic! So please R&R everyone, and a big thanks to everyone who did review! *Huggles* Now here we go...
~*~*~*~
Eventually I pull away from the sensation, only to find her now gazing up at me. First she looked surprised - Very surprised - as she wondered what world she was now in. But when her eyes met mine... She understood. Her lips smiled the way a housewife long expecting overdue guests did. And I didn't mind at all.
"Himemiya...?" Her voice sounded richer than I remember. It was deep, much huskier... And just hearing her speak made me want to kiss her again.
"Call me Anthy." I stated with a knowing smile. She remembered me. Her memories hadn't vanished in the flow of her 'other world.' Just dropped, like a child's toy only to be picked up later on, in a fond sentiment.
"Anthy, you came for me... I knew you'd come... I've waited so long." She weakily pulled up her arm, one that hadn't been used for too long, and gripped my long locks. A fascination filled her, as she now knew the feel of my hair, and the look of my naked body.
"I'm so sorry... Sorry for everything, Utena. But I came back for you... Because I love you." I answered, with my voice breaking. I subdued the sobs in my throat, reaching down, touching her hair as she was mine.
"Never mind that, you're with me now... Will you spend eternity with me?"
I would rather spend eternity with no one else.
She invited me inside her rose filled coffin, and I lay inside, fitting the curves of my body against hers. We lay still for a long while, not finding the words to fit the situation.
"Utena, who was that man... You killed?" I swallowed with a sudden recollection of the messenger in my hotel room that night.
"That wasn't me... That was my physical body, wandering the world, lost. But now that we're reunited, everything will be alright now... Anthy, where do you want to go?" She asked me with a smile. I smiled back, somehow knowing what she meant.
"A house... A beautiful house, one by a lake..."
Utena grinned at the thought, wondering just as I was, how it would be to settle down. Just the two of us. No interruptions. No nothing. Just her and I, with the water as our only companion.
"Okay." She said without hesitation, but then she spoke up again. "...But one thing first."
"What's that?" I asked, holding her tighter. Her smooth skin against the petals of the roses makes for the softest touch in the world. She holds me comfortingly, not being able to let me go once again...
"Let's get married... That way I won't be your betrothed anymore... I will officially belong to you." She looked at me through those cerulean blues, and gave me a soft kiss. I could feel myself flush, as her lips met mine.
I finally found my revolution.
"And how do we do that?" I asked, partially knowing the answer. Her eyes closed again, as the lid to the coffin slammed down, encasing us together, forever.
"All you have to do is dream..."

A/N- Fin! Keep in mind, I wrote this chapter while listening to Kakusei Toshi.... Beautiful song!
Disclaimer: This is not actually my full out opinion of how the reunion could have occurred, and this is an unusual interpretation, but it is an interpretation, nonetheless!
