Nothing else was said between us. We continued to walk down the sidewalk towards the school gate as the rain steadily fell upon our bodies soaking our every being. I could barely keep up my pace with Himemiya anymore as my legs finally give in and plummeted to the ground, bringing her along with me. I lay on my back with my eyes slightly opened. I was so tired and I wanted to succumb to pain right then and there. I really didn't mind, since Himemiya was with me.

"Just leave me here, Himemiya. I can't continue like this." I muttered to her through ragged breaths. I was crying shamefully. I didn't want Himemiya to see me like this, a 'prince' sobbing. I knew she probably couldn't see my tears since it was raining. "I am not leaving you here Utena...please get up, please." She said as she crouched down beside me and leaned over my weaken state. Her head was bent down and long wet hair concealed her face. Himemiya grabbed both my hands in hers. We were both trembling from the cold rain.

"I won't let you die Utena, I just won't. You've done so much for me." She brought both hands to her chest comforting me. I raised my left hand from her grasp and touched her face softly. "You didn't call me Utena-sama." Himemiya smiled at me and started pulling me back to my feet. She put my arms around her neck and I held on tight. We walked some more and the rain was beginning to let up.

I stopped suddenly. "What's wrong Utena, we are almost to the gate?" Himemiya queried and looked at me. I turned my stiff neck and pointed at the vehicle parked a few feet in front of the school exit gate. "I don't think that's a...." I pressed my finger against Himemiya's wet lips. "That's our ticket out of this hell hole." She nodded and slowly removed my finger from her lips.

We walked towards the red sports car at a faster pace. Himemiya took me to the passenger side and opened the door. I crashed down in the seat and shut the door. I was so exhausted. To our luck Akio had his roof up. He must have known it was going to rain, perceptive bastard. I smiled internally at stealing his car, but he deserved it.

Himemiya opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. She stared at the steering wheel. "Know what?" She looked at me and brushed her long velvet locks behind ear. For the first time I acknowledged how beautiful she was without her glasses and hair up as I got lost in her jade eyes. "You drive us out of here, Anthy." I smiled and pointed to the key in the ignition. "But I don't know how to drive." I tilted my head against the seat. "Neither do I."

Anthy turned the ignition. She took a deep breath and placed her hand on the gear shift. I put my hand on top of hers that was on the gear shift. "Don't worry I will help you." She smiled brightly, something I hadn't seen before in her. I clenched my teeth as the pain resurfaced in my body causing my pink head to fall back against the seat. I grabbed the wound, groaned and closed my eyes. Anthy panicked and grabbed me in her arms. "Please don't close your eyes Utena!" She held me tight as tears fell from her eyes and kept repeating the phrase. My heart broke at the reaction. I didn't realize she cared this much for me, but I was glad she did. "Anthy I love you and I won't close my eyes anymore okay." I couldn't believe I finally said it; I always wanted to tell her how I felt. She didn't move for a few seconds and then she finally looked at me. Her green eyes glued to my blue eyes and suddenly she placed the softest fleeting kiss upon my lips. "Promise," she said as she moved back into the driver's seat. "I promise." She moved the gear shift into first gear and I placed my hand atop of hers once again. She smiled at me. "I love you to Tenjou Utena." I held her hand tighter as I savored those words.

The car stalled a few times before we passed through the gate, but once Anthy got the hang of driving we were on our way to the outside world. Destination, get me to a hospital, afterwards, I am not sure. I will let Anthy choose our path together, whatever she wants is what I want. That's how we will spend our life together. We sped down the dark highway and I didn't close my eyes, I just watched her and the flashing lights. I know now I don't want to die, I want to live with her for eternity.

Epilogue:

Akio walks toward the school gate with Kanae under his arms. He stops suddenly and looks around the campus. "What's wrong honey?" Kanae asks looking up at the dark-skinned chairman. "My car...it's...not here?" Akio turns around and runs toward the gate. "I know I parked it here yesterday." Kanae looked at him with a concerned expression. "Maybe you parked it in the back of the school." Akio clenched his fists. "No, I never park in the back." Akio starts walking towards Kanae and stares at the ground. He stops suddenly as he notices bloody shoe prints. "I know she didn't.." He mumbles. His dark green eyes trail the prints in the direction of the parking spot. "Damn that persistence girl!!" Akio runs back towards the school. Kanae runs after him. "Damn who honey? Who are you talking about?"

*The moral of this story is: Never leave your car unlocked with the keys in the ignition. LMAO*
