Chapter Number: 5

Chapter Title: Wake up, and run!

Author's Note: Oh wow, I haven't updated this story for a while, eh? I have been distracted with working on Crimson Temptations and playing games like Final Fantasy X-2. Anyway, I decided to brainstorm on ideas for chapter 5, and I came up with many possible outcomes, and it may of took me a while, but I've made my decision on Utena's outcome. You must want to know it since/if you're still reading one of my retarded authors notes. Anyway, on with chapter 5, enjoy! Please review it afterwards.

Utena woke amidst that familiar soft, baby pink carpet. She kept her eyes closed for a few moments. They opened to realize someone had dragged her into her room when she was unconscious. There was an argument going on that was barely audible to her, she hadn't even realized one was going on until at least 3 minutes. She jolted over to the door, and placed her ear amongst it, listening in.

"Why would I have left that window open?" Touga questioned. Obviously they were discussing what had happened to Utena.

"Why wouldn't you is more like it. I want her dead as much as you do. Unfortunately, we must obey, or we shall die. We must do as our master tells us to do, we must bring them Utena by the end of the time period of 3 weeks, and she must be alive," Saionji responded.

"Dead..Saionji stop including me within your crude ideas. I do not want Utena dead. I want to simply get over this living nightmare and deliver Utena before my lo-" Touga stopped in between his words. He had almost blurted out a secret he felt was not the time to reveal, especially to Saionji.

"Before you what? Your love, perhaps? Before your love does what?" Saionji asked.

"That is none of your concern Saionji. Now, I say we do a little disposing on this pink haired damsel," Touga said calmly at the end of his words, a grin slipped upon his lips.

"Indeed, we don't want to keep the master waiting," Saionji responded, before walking to the door, which lead outside.

Utena's eyes widened, thoughts began to race through her mind, "Pink haired damsel? Is that me? What master? Where are they going to take me? Is this the full agenda Touga mentioned to me? Oh no! Where am I going to hide? I don't want to go." Utena's blue eyes scanned the desolate room, trying to find a safe hiding spot.

"The window!" She thought.

She dashed over to one of the windows, her hands moved to the locks and frantically attempted to unlock it, and then, just as the click could be heard from the window, there was a footstep heard, edging slowly over to the door. At that, Utena shoved the window open, slid outside, and slammed it shut from the outside. She heard the door to her bedroom open, she ran along the side of the house. As she ran, she could hear Touga shouting. She reached the front and she stood on the sidewalk for a moment, and looked back at the house. A tear slid down her cheek, she would never admit this to his face, but she loved him. She loved Touga, even though over the past few days he had mistreated her. She began to run across the street, but a pit had been in the road. She fell down onto the hard granite; it had marked her with a few cuts, thought none were that critical. She had only released a simple "ouch".

Utena made an attempt at getting up by slowly positioning herself amongst her hands and knees. The cuts on her palms and knees were covered with dirt, which sent meager amounts on pain. Once she had been steady on them though, a car came rushing down the street, beeping madly. She glanced over to the car, her blue eyes widening for a moment. She tried to get up, but tripped somewhat before she was even fully up. She closed her eyes tightly, tears beginning to form and slide down her cheeks. Just as the car came near, she had been grabbed in a warm embrace, and carried her over to the sidewalk she was heading towards.

"What the hell were you trying to do!? Kill yourself?" demanded Touga.

"Why would I do such a thing like that!? If I wanted to die, I'd just stay right where I was supposed to be! I know Saionji's and your plan. You're bringing me to your stupid master and I bet he's going to kill me. Isn't he? I heard Saionji and you talking. He said if I wasn't needed to be alive you guys would have killed me!" Utena shouted, unwelcome tears streaming down her face.

"Kill you? You need to get your ears checked, Saionji wants you dead. I would never want to hurt you Utena," Touga's tone decreased drastically, a softer side beginning to surface.

"But you did. You hurt me..you did," Utena said, "Why? Why did you hurt me?"

Touga sighed softly and replied, "It was the only way to make you cooperate, you see.."

"Touga! You found her! Splendid!" Saionji interrupted the conversation as he crossed the street.

"We shall finish this conversation later," Touga said under his breath.

"I think we should give this two more days Touga, it seems the girl isn't tamed enough yet," said Saionji.

Saionji, Touga, and Utena crossed the street, heading towards the house. Utena didn't bother to put up a fight, she just allowed Touga to drag her across the street. When they arrived at the house, they went inside. Touga had walked over to the door, which lead to Utena's room, and opened it. When the door was open, he threw Utena in, and closed the door behind her.

Utena could of sworn when Touga closed the door, he had said, "I love you," though she knew she must of imagined it. She laid herself down on top of the bed. Her blue eyes closed, she realized escaping wouldn't be that easy. She recently discovered Saionji was watching her. She wondered though, could anyone else be watching her? If so, how was she going to escape?

Author's Note: Did you like the chapter? I hope you did, but I highly doubt it. I'm in a bit of a writers block, sorry. Don't expect chapter 6 to be up too fast, I need some ideas. If you have any ideas, please tell them in your review. I think I'm going to exceed in the number of chapters I said this was going to be, but hey, you never know. I may end this story with only 6 chapters. Thank you guys for reading this chapter. Read and review!
