Life, Death and Illusions pt 3
Two months later East dorm Ohtori Academy
{I can't believe I am doing this, I want you to be my prince. No you can't be my prince, be-because you're a girl. He told me to do it. I-I-I didn't want to do it. I struggled to hold back the pain, but it was too much and too late.}
{You protected me. You held me close to your tall slender frame. I felt the heat radiate from your body. I held you tight, and it was comforting. You stood brave holding the sword. He peered at you awaiting your attack and you gazed back at him, the intense stand-off.}
{And then, he tossed a narrow glance at me. I-I-I don't know why or even where I got the sword, it seemed to appear out of nowhere. I clutched you tightly and slowly pushed the sword inward. I felt your pain with every movement. It hurt so much. I slowly removed to blade from you body, and watched you plummet to the ground.}
{My heart broke in a million pieces. I reflexively tossed to blood stained sword into the shadows. He smiled and I grimaced. He laughed and I wanted...and I wanted to DIE!}
Anshi screams and leap up from her bed drench in sweat.
"Ouch," she bumps her head on the bunk bed above her head where her 'prince' used to sleep in.
"Damn, it was just another dream," she curses at herself and falls back on the pillow. She's been having this same dream since that last duel. Anshi turns her head and glances at Chu-Chu sleeping soundly in a basket in the corner. She smile, but inside she feels sad, lonely and angry at herself and at the 'devil'.
She knows school will be starting tomorrow for a new term. She's not happy about starting 9th grade; she can care less about High school at the moment. All she can think about is her pink-haired savior
"I wish I knew where you were, and if you are okay, Utena. I have so much to tell you. I so want to thank you," she mumbles to herself as her sea- green eyes tear up.
The dark-skinned girl got out of the bed and walks toward her vanity desk and looks in the mirror. The morning sun gleams through the window, highlighting her long violet hair. She picks up her wire frame glasses and put them on. Her vision becomes blurry, so she take them off; still amazed that she see clearly without her glasses.
She was still getting use to her change. The overwhelming emotions she was feeling was the most difficult to get use to, since she didn't feel them when she was the 'rose bride'. Anshi saw her favorite monkey-mouse friend awake. She held out her hand he ran to his mistress and perches on her shoulder as usual.
The dark princess picks up a picture of her and her former pink-haired champion. She try to hold back her tears and Chu-Chu stares at her and then at the photo.
"Chu," the monkey-mouse squeaks sadly. Anshi nods "You miss her too."
Anshi places the photo back on the desk and tears fall upon the frame.
'I have to be strong,' she thought. The violet-haired girl feels herself losing control of her emotions and then slams her clinch fist against the desk, causing the photo to fall down.
Anshi fall to the floor crying uncontrollably, her head against her knees. Chu-Chu jumps off of his mistress staring at her warily.
"Why did you leave me alone like this Utena? Why?" she repeats over and over, the sentence sounding muffle with her face press against her incline legs.
Chu-Chu approaches his mistress with a handkerchief.
"Chu," the little monkey-mouse squeaks.
"Thank you," Anshi forces a soft smile at her friend. "I am sorry to worry you Chu-Chu. I will try to be stronger."
Anshi softly presses her head back against the desk and wipes the salty tears from her glassy sea-green eyes. Her long violet locks fall in her face as she closes her eyes and dream of all the times she spent with her pink-haired prince.
The dark princess suddenly feels a wave of warmth surround her body. It was warmer than the feel of sunlight against the body she thought. Anshi brushes her hair from her face and slowly opens her damp eye lids.
Anshi sea-green eyes broaden as she notices the tall male figure sitting on her bunk bed. Chu-Chu ran toward the man and hops on his knee. The man gives the little monkey-mouse a cookie and smiles.
"Onii-sama, what are you," the violet-haired girl asks but is interrupted by the dark prince placing his index finger against his thin lips hushing her. Dios softly pats the bed gesturing his little sister to sit beside him.
Anshi obediently stands up and walks toward the bed. She isn't sure why Dios is here of all times, but she is glad to see him. She sits down on the bed, with her head hanging low trying not to let her onii-sama see her tears.
Dios tilts Anshi head up and smiles softly. He moved her long violet locks from her face and tucks them behind her ear. Dios lean in closer to her ear and whispers "Don't cry my little princess; you are finally free from your restraints as the rose bride." He kisses her cheek and grabs her hand.
Anshi was happy to see Dios; it has been so long since they talked, but she was still pondering why he was 'truly' here. Dios takes off his rose signet ring and places it on her left ring finger. Anshi started to speak, but Dios hushes her once again.
"Anshi, who is your prince?" the dark prince asks in a soft deep tone.
Anshi stares at the ring that once was worn by her pink-haired savior. She idles with the ring trying to think of an answer. Dios tilts his head at the dark princess and stares into her eyes with anticipation.
"Onii-sama you will always be my prince at heart, but," she turn her head away from Dios breaking eye contact.
"B-but Utena will always be my one and only true prince."
Dios slowly places his hand on her chin and turn her head toward his. He smiles and kisses her gently on the eyelid. The dark prince scoops up Chu- Chu and places the little monkey-mouse on the bed as he stood up and walks toward the window. Anshi watches her onii-sama, he is glowing a bright white light as the sun shimmers on his body.
The dark princess walks over and stands beside him. Dios place his hand on her shoulder and she smiles at him. Dios jade-green eyes met her sea-green eyes.
"Tell me what do want more than anything right now little sister?" Anshi didn't have to think about the answer, she knows exactly what she want. The dark-skinned man looks endlessly at her awaiting an answer.
"To be with my true prince," the violet haired girl calmly replies.
"You love her that much?" Dios asks.
"Yes, she means everything to me; she gave me this new life."
The dark prince steps back from the window. He grabs Anshi's hands and places them upon his chest. He lean in closer to Anshi's ear and whispers "Are you willing to go to the 'End of the World' to be with her?"
The violet haired girl thought hard about what just Dios asked her. She tries to move her hands, but Dios grips them harder against his broad chest not letting her go. The dark prince tilts his head lower to meet the girl's sea-green eyes. He stares sternly into her soul.
Finally, the princess said "I will travel to the 'end of the world' to be with Utena."
"Very well," Dios replies softly. His hands that were holding Anshi's over his chest start to glow a bright light. The light was causing Anshi to narrow her eyes. Dios lean backwards as his hands fall to his waist side. Anshi without hesitation runs to his side and to hold him up, the situation seems very familiar to her.
Soon enough she sees it, the Sword of Dios extend from his chest. Anshi grabs it and pulls it out, the bright light still blinding her a bit. Dios kneels to the floor seeming a bit exhausted. Anshi stares at the sword dumbfound. Dios stood and places his hands around hers gripping the sword tightly.
"This sword will lead you to your true love my brave princess," the dark prince smiles tenderly at her.
"I don't understand....I mean how," Dios places his fingers against her soft lips.
"You want to be with her right?" Anshi nods.
Dios steps back and removes the sword's sheath from his belt and hands it to the Anshi. She takes it and places the sword in the casing.
"Use the sword to kill Akio and you get be with her once again."
"But onii-sama, why must I do this in order to be with her? Do you know where Utena is? Please tell me, please?"
Anshi falls upon Dios chest sobbing. Dios embraces his confused little sister gently. "I will answer all your questions soon enough, Anshi."
Dios rocks her tightly in his arms until she stops crying.
"Anshi I need you to make me whole again, killing Akio is the only way." Dios tilt her face upwards and wipes away her tears. "Once you achieve this, then I can reunite you and Utena." Dios smiles at her endearingly.
"How is killing Akio going to cause this to happen, I still don't truly understand onii-sama," Anshi pleads.
"Shhh, I will explain more once you complete this task for me," Dios kisses her forehead and steps back into the sunlight. His body starts to glow brighter and emanate white light.
"You trust me don't you Anshi?" the question echo as he starts to vanish.
"Yes, I trust you my dear Dios." Anshi pauses and holds her hand over her eyes blocking out the bright light.
"It's Akio I don't trust."
To be continued.....Sorry guys you just have to wait +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
