AN: Sorry for the update delay. I've been really busy O_o
Chapter: 27 (whoa!)
Dios discontinues his clapping and stands up from his comfortable position on the tan colored couch. Utena and Anshi both peer at the dark prince in awe, vaguely surprised at his sudden present. Dios walks closer to the two young women and flashes a subtle glimmering smile.
"Dios," Anshi stammers as he stands in front of her. He brushes her hair back from her face, leans in and softly kisses her forehead. He moves back slightly, green eyes meeting each other. "It is about time," Dios whispers.
Anshi contorts her facial expression in confusion for a few seconds and then smiles suddenly realizing what Dios means. Utena scratches her head and then manages to say, "What are you...." Dios turns and places a gloved hand against her pert lips hushing her.
"I just want to congratulate you two for this will be the last time you will see me in this form." Dios said with sadness in his masculine voice.
"I don't understand what you mean by the comment," Anshi says then hugs him for lack of understanding. Dios returns the embrace by wrapping his strong arms around his little sister.
Utena frowns and then replies, "What do mean? Will we not see you again?" A tear escapes her eyes. Dios reaches over and wipes it away gently.
"No need to be sad. You two have each other now. I only existed in this world to reunite the both of you. You are the prince now Utena. I will only exist through you for my existence in this world is now obsolete."
Dios steps back and look at them, placing either of his hands over their hearts. "Dios?" They both whisper. He shakes his head.
"I will be looking after you two always. Be happy and...." He glances at Utena then says, "take care of Anshi for me." Utena nods. Dios vanishes.
Utena turns and looks at her princess with a smile, then replies, "It is because of Dios that we are here and we get a second chance."
"Yes I remember everything now," Anshi hugs Utena suddenly. They hold each other for a little while then break away.
"So what do you want to do now?" Utena asks gazing deeply into bright emerald coloured eyes. Anshi places a quick peck on her prince's lips causing Utena to blush. Then the violet haired girl looks casually at her wristwatch. It is 15 minutes after 11 o'clock.
"I suppose I should go home now it's rather late," Anshi said and then moves away from the taller girl. Utena suddenly grabs her hand. "Why don't you stay over? It is too late to be walking home and your father will not mind anyway."
Anshi blushes then says, "You are so bad my prince." Utena flashes her famous smile. "I know but bad in a good way." They both share a laugh then head upstairs.
***********
Half and hour later.......
Anshi waltzes into Utena's bedroom wearing a knee length red nightie that looks like a large T-shirt, brushing her hair. Utena is crouched down on the floor unfolding a blanket over a twin size airbed.
She looks up at Anshi and smiles. "I called Aki-sama. He said it's okay that you stay over." Anshi smiles then pulls her hair up into a ponytail. "Thanks for calling otou-sama while I was in the shower." Anshi begins to walk toward her prince.
"Tell me, what are you doing?" the violet haired princess asks curiously.
Utena stands up slowly, then stretches her slender frame. "I am going to sleep on the air mattress and you are going to sleep in my bed." Utena walks toward the dresser and opens the top drawer. She takes out a pair of turquoise colored pajamas and then proceeds toward the bedroom door.
"I am going to go shower now. I will be back soon." Utena said. Anshi smiles then sits on the bed. "Okay." She replies back.
A few minutes later Utena comes back into the bedroom clad in her pj's and towel in hand. She tosses the towel in the hamper and then looks at the bedroom floor then back up at Anshi who is lying in bed reading one of Utena's graphic novels.
The pink haired prince glances back down at the floor beside her bed then raises her eyebrows.
"Uhmm Himemiya what happen to my airbed?" Utena queries suddenly standing beside the bed.
Anshi smiles and places the book on the nightstand. "Now Utena-chan, you were not really going to sleep on the uncomfortable contraption was you?" Anshi pulls back the blanket and Utena obediently slides into bed beside her princess. "Well I just didn't want to rush things you know." Utena lies down and turns to face her companion. Anshi smiles seductively and closes the distance by kissing her prince. Utena wraps her arm around Anshi and pulls her closer. They kiss passionately for about a minute or two, tongues dancing with one another and hand caressing each other's body. Soon after they discontinued their display of affection and embrace.
Anshi pushes Utena onto her back and lies on her shoulder, placing her hand on her prince's flat stomach and then subconsciously starts to play with the buttons on Utena's pajama top. Utena sighs happily and begins to rub her princess' back.
"Do you think that this 'second chance' is real?" Utena asks out the blue. "How do you mean?" Anshi counters.
"I mean this seems to good to be true," Utena pauses for a second then continues, "The other 'world' was so cruel." Anshi turns and looks askance at her prince.
"I don't know if this place is real or an illusion either. It just seems so perfect," Utena's voice sounding serious yet sad and distant all at once.
"I really don't know anything about this world, yet I remember everything that happened at Ohtori Academy like it was yesterday." Anshi just listens not wanting to interrupt.
"You know I don't even remember my parents.....not like I ever did to begin with," Utena takes a breath and Anshi looks deep into her dim blue eyes which were focused on the ceiling as she speaks.
Anshi adjusts her body against Utena's as she lay against her shoulder. "Does it really matter if this place is an illusion or reality," Anshi states and Utena smirks a bit.
"I'd rather be here in this world than in the other; the one built on fairy tales. Perhaps you are right maybe this is another illusion brought forth by Satan, or maybe this is just a dream sequence created by Dios and we are still comatose or maybe we died and this is heaven."
Anshi sits up slightly and peer into aqua colored eyes. Those same pair of blue eyes totally focus and seeming mesmerized at the same time.
"But it doesn't matter because........"Anshi closes her eyes and lightly bites her bottom lip. "Because what?" Utena finishes, her curiosity suddenly sparked.
"Because," Anshi starts to blush, "I get to be here with you, the one person I love so much."
Utena didn't know what to say, her heart nearly explodes from hearing the confession. So she pulls her princess downward and kisses her soft lips deeply. After they break apart Utena said, "I love you too." With that said they embrace as the moonlight from the window highlight their form, until sleep enters their mind.
