Chapter 2
Utena had been at Kaidas for about a month or so, things were going pretty well for her. She had become friends with Wakaba, and she had become quite popular with the servants around the castle.
"Utena! Wake-up!" Wakaba yelled as she shook the sleeping Utena, she turned to Wakaba as she loudly yelled 'ohayo!' in her face
"Mmmnnn....huh? I'm tired, what time is it anyway?" Utena asked sleepily.
"Six-o-clock!" Wakaba said cheerfully.
"Wakaba! It's still early, I'm going back to sleep." Utena mumbled, as she rolled over.
"No your not! I made you breakfast." Wakaba said pastry.
"Errr...Arigatou, but why'd you have to make it so early?" Utena asked as she yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Because I felt like it." Wakaba said as she went over to make the bed. Utena sighed and started to make her bed as well.
"We don't really have much work to do today, right Wakaba?" Utena asked a she swiftly ate the pastry.
"Hai, well less than usual anyway." Wakaba said turning to her. Utena and Wakaba got dressed, and went off to work for the day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"She does have that necklace...and it looks like the same design of Kaidas.." Juri said pointing to a nearby stained glass window, with the rose design.
"Should we have her come meet with us today?" An almost concerned looking Miki asked turning to the three people behind him.
"Well I suppose...." Touga said. They all nodded in agreement and continued to discuss this subject.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Almost everyone greeted Utena as walked down the hall.
"It's no fair, you're so popular with everyone." Wakaba remarked.
"Hah, I don't really know why." Utena said.
"Probably because you did those tricks, no else can do that, and your pretty nice to everyone." Wakaba said.
"Oh you mean the flip? I didn't really mean for everyone to see that." Utena said with a nervous laugh. Wakaba sighed as more and more people greeted Utena, but she would get used to it soon.
They soon came to the kitchen, Wakaba had to work there today, but Utena was supposed to clean windows in the hall outside of the kitchen. So she went to the last window in the hall, and she began to wash it. She watched the water drip down the glass, it glistened in the sunlight. Utena noticed her hands were a pinkish color, with bits of other colors too, she looked around her self to see colored light coming from the stained glass window above all the others. She stared at it for a while, it really did look like the design on her necklace. She grabbed the necklace and looked down at it. "Well it's a different color of the window....." She thought as she dropped the necklace, and continued to wash the window, she still stared blankly at the stained glass window. She heard footsteps behind her, so she turned to see who it was.
"UTENA!" A familiar voice yelled happily. It was Wakaba. She glomped Utena, nearly making her fall over.
"Nani? Wakaba what are you doing?" Utena asked.
"I'm showing how I much I love you!" Wakaba said with a huge smile. Wakaba was such a weird friend sometimes.
"Wakaba! Get off me! Your heavy you know!" Utena said in a slightly annoyed tone. "Aren't you supposed to be working?"
Wakaba got off of her. "Well, I stopped working because I was told to tell you that the white warriors want to talk with you."
"Naze?" Utena asked.
"I don't know, they didn't say." Wakaba said.
"When? Where I am I supposed to go?" Utena asked with a very curious expression on her face.
"Well, they said as soon as you could, they gave me the directions to give to you." Wakaba said handing Utena the piece of paper. "Well I see you later, I've gotta go back to work!" She said running off.
Utena sighed and dropped her cloth back into the bucket of washing water. "I wonder what they want to talk to me about...." She thought as looked down at the paper. She sighed, it was going to take her a while to get to them. She walked up staircase, down long halls and through a few doors, it probably took her around fifteen to twenty minutes to get there. Yet she finally came to a set of translucent glass doors with the rose design on it, there were also dark wooden doors behind them. She looked at her paper and made sure she was in the right place, and she then went to go knock on the door, and blued-haired boy she had seen before opened both the doors, she was pretty sure his name was Miki. He smiled and told her to come in, she entered and looked around the fancy room. They're about five or six chairs, which the white warriors and Anshi were sitting in the ceiling was high, and there was a complex-looking chandler hanging from it. There was also a fireplace with a small, dying fire. They all stared at her seriously, expect for Anshi who was playing with a monkey-mouse like thin that was happily saying 'Chu! Chu!'
"Nani?" Utena asked.
"Well...this may be a surprise for you, but we want you to 'duel' with us..." Touga said.
"Nani? What do you mean 'duel'? Utena asked looking a little puzzled.
"Well, it's a magic duel, but no one really gets hurt, you see, you just make the other person fall backward, and you win. There is a shield in the room were you will 'duel' so you can't get damaged." Miki said.
"I know very little magic!" Utena said, sounding a bit annoyed.
Saionji scoffed. "Of course you wouldn't."
Utena glared at him. "Why do I have to do this?"
"We can't tell you that.." Anshi said in an odd, in an almost mystic manner.
"Nani? What If I refuse to duel?" Utena asked.
"That would not be a very wise thing to do, you wouldn't have your job here anymore." Juri said seriously. Utena looked bewildered. "I guess I have to 'duel' with them....I've looked for jobs else were, and this is the only place I've had a steady job at. I can't just wander around, I have hardly any magic skills." Utena thought.
"Be here tomorrow at seven-o-clock." Juri said. Utena blinked.
"You can go now." Saionji said, Utena glared at him, she looked around the room again, but Anshi and her monkey-mouse were gone, but Utena know she had just seen her.
"Chotto Maitte, where did Anshi go?" Utena asked in a bewildered tone.
"You don't need to know, now leave." Saionji said. Utena turned and walked out the doors, not seeming very happy as she did so.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Nani? A duel? Nazi?" Wakaba asked looking curious, a little worried, and a little interested, as she sat on her bed.
"Yeah, pretty crazy, huh?" She said sighing. "And I know barely any magic."
"Well you can go to the library tomorrow, maybe you can get a little help there. You can't back out of this or you'll lose your job!" Wakaba said, sounding a little worried.
"Yeah, I know, I'll figure something out." Utena said as she turned out the lights and she buried her self under the blankets. They said goodnight to each other. Utena turned over, and turned hover, facing the wall, she had trouble sleeping that mind, but who wouldn't?
Notes: Not a very good ending, but ya know...glad I got this chapter up, please review and tell me what you think, Why did Anshi disappear? You'll find out in the later chappies. ^^ (When I get the time to write them -_-") Hope enjoyed! REVIEW!
