Chapter Four: Eternity is Apathy

Disclaimer: I do not own Revolutionary Girl Utena, and I am not making any money off of this.

Apathy: Lack of interest or enthusiasm. Not caring.

Silver was perplexed. But even more than that, she was angry. Even though she didn't own it, the cemetery was her place... She didn't want anyone else to be there. She almost turned back, but decided that she wouldn't let some stranger ruin her day. Taking a deep breath, she walked on.

As she drew nearer, Silver was able to make out what the figure looked like, and immediately concluded that it was a male. He wasn't short, but defiantly wasn't considered tall. Much like herself, she realized. His hair fell to his shoulders, and she couldn't tell if it was really light pink, or was white and the reflection from the stained glass gave it the pale magenta tones. What a strange color for a mans hair, she observed, pink is normally so feminine.

She moved her eyes down to his clothing, and noticed that he wore an outfit similar to the boy's uniform at Ohtori, only the jacket was navy colored with a crimson stripe going down the collar. The pants were white. Silver bit back a snort of disgust, she hated white. It was too pure.

She advanced towards the cemetery at a quicker pace, feeling compelled to just get there. As she came nearer, she couldn't help but realize that the man was staring at a particular gravestone, and was completely still. So still, that he himself might have been mistaken for one of the many statues that surrounded the cemetery, save one fact, he didn't have wings. She tilted her head to the side and tried to read what the headstone he was looking at said. All she could make out was "Mami." His body was blocking the rest.

"Um... Excuse me, sir." The man turned around suddenly, as though he had been unaware of her presence, and she had just jolted him into awakening.

"Y-yes?" He responded, regaining his composure. She noted that his voice sounded very proper, almost elegant.

"You have been standing there for a very long time, what are you doing?" She asked curiously, trying to read the rest of the gravestone. This is what it said:

Mamiya Chida

1963-1971

beloved brother and son

R.I.P

"Oh I see..." She looked up at the man, almost pityingly. "Was this your brother?"

"No." He replied, almost bitterly.

"Well... He wasn't your son, was he? I mean... He couldn't have been, you don't look old enough to have a son."

"Mind your own business. How I spend my time is of no concern to you." He snapped back.

"S-sorry.. I shouldn't have intruded." She responded, taken aback by his cold tone.

"... No matter... Hey, I know most of the students at this school, but I haven't seen you around before. Who are you anyway?"

"Im Silver Kagami." She replied. "Nice to meet you... Well, it wasn't really a "nice" meeting. But, as you say, no matter."

The man raised an eyebrow at this, and examined Silver. "So you are Ms. Kagami, eh? Well. Im Souji Mikage, the student guidance councillor here, and head of the "Black Rose Circle", and the "Mikage Seminar"."

Now it was Silver's turn to raise an eyebrow. "Wow, that sure is a lot of stuff. How do you find time for all of it? You don't look old enough to be a teacher, but considering you have your own seminar, I take it you are somewhat of a genius. Am I correct?"

He nodded. "Indeed."

"Well... What is your seminar about, Mikage?"

"That's Mr. Mikage to you, or Sempai."

"Well sorry, Sempai." Silver sighed, teachers at this place were so touchy. "Anyway, as I asked before, what is your seminar about?"

"Its... Sort of hard to explain. Why don't you drop by sometime? It's at Nemuro Memorial Hall."

"Nemuro Memorial Hall?" Silver gave him a confused expression. "Sorry but... I'm new here and I'm not sure where that is..."

Souji sighed. "Its on the east side of the campus, it has a sign on the door, you can't miss it. If you still can't find it, just ask one of the passing students or teachers, they should know."

Silver shrugged. "It doesn't matter, I can't join your seminar anyway. I am definitely no genius, I can hardly even pass math."

"You don't have to be a genius to join my Seminar, Ms. Kagami. After all, it's not all about academics." He said, looking at her seriously.

"Well then what is it about? Is it one of those "Self help" Seminars? I mean... You are the student guidance councillor. It's probably something like that..."

Souji shook his head. "I guess you will just have to drop by if you want to find out. Anyway," He looked down at a watch on his wrist. "It's getting late, I better be going. You to, curfew is in a half an hour for middle school students."

"Really?" Silver looked up at the sky and realized that it really was starting to get dark. "Wow... You are right. Well, see you later, Sempai." She waved to him, then began to walk back towards the dorm buildings. Souji shrugged and walked off.

END of Chapter Three. SORRY FOR SHORTNESS! > So everyone, what do you think? This is where it all starts to take off. And don't worry, I know some of you are screaming Mary Sue, but that is just not the case. First of all, Silver is not based on me or anyone I know at all, she is simply a character I made up for this story, and she is by no means perfect. Second of all, as of now, I have no intention of having her have a romantic relationship with a cannon character. So you see? No Mary Sue's here
