Touga's back was against a wall as Juri held her fencing sword to his throat, "Touga" she said in a calm tone, "not only did you forget our little meeting today, but you were also wasting time with your girlfriend?" she pushed the sword to the point where it was centimeters away from his skin, "why was that?" Touga let out a small laugh, "Juri" he said while pushing the sword to the side, "we both know that you wouldn't do something to hurt me, so why continue the charade?" The two walked over to the table and sat down, "now" Touga began once they were seated, "what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" Juri frowned "You know very well what I wanted to talk to you about, that letter you got from End of the World." Touga shrugged and poured himself some tea, "what about it?" Juri's frown turned into a scowl, "Utena Tenjou has been in possesion of the Rose Bride for a year and has done nothing to make use of her power." Juri stood up, "We need to seperate them as soon as possible"
Lazily stirring his tea, Touga looked up at Juri, "End of the World made no suggestion of seperating the Rose Bride from her Prince, he's just getting bored because nothing is happening." Touga locked eyes with Juri, "Why is it that you're so determined to see Utena upset"
Juri dropped her gaze. She couldn't tell Touga, she couldn't make him understand the reason why she hated Utena Tenjou so much, there was no way that Touga would believe it. Everyone automatically assumed that Juri didn't like guys because of that incident a few years ago, but it wasn't true. Juri did like men, or in particular, two men. Juri was in love with both Touga and Saionji, and Utena had taken them both away from her. Juri wasn't stupid, she could tell Saionji had feeling for the female prince before Saionji even knew, there was a connection between the two of them. Juri hated that. Then, as an added bonus, not only was Utena blind to Saionji's love, but she had taken Touga away from her as well.
However, Juri's hatred wasn't reserved for Utena alone. Anthy Hinemia made her blood boil as well. Okay, so maybe it wasn't Anthy's fault that Miki fell in love with her, and consequently was avoiding Juri, but Juri still hated her for it.
Juri could never say any of this though, as the only female on the student council, Juri had to maintain the respect of her colleagues, and if they knew that Juri was in love with them, then it would throw her carefully orchastrated cover down the drain. "I don't care if Pinky is happy or miserable" Juri lied in her usual monotone. Touga frowned, "Juri, you know I don't like you calling her that Juri, her name is Utena." Juri shrugged, "anyway." she went on, "There is another duel scheduled for next week, who will Pin... I mean Miss Tenjou be facing"
Touga smirked and let out a chuckle, "Oh, Utena won't be facing anyone." Touga took a sip of tea. Juri furrowed her eyebrows, "then who..." Touga smiled, "the next duel will be between myself and Saionji, aparently he wants to be the president of the student council, although I can't imagine why the sudden interest..." Juri's face paled, she could imagine why, she knew exactly why. Saionji was finally going to make his move on Utena, and if he did, then Juri would lose both Touga and Saionji forever...
Saionji, fresh out of the shower(a/n: how hot is that!) and wearing one of his uniforms again found a note waiting for him on his desk. Saionji's heart pounded, it was from End of the World! After a quick read through of the letter, a smile stretched across Saionji's lips, it was approved. The duel between him and Touga was approved! "Finally." Saionji said with a relish, "I will be President and then Utena Tenjou will soon forget that loser Touga and turn her eyes to me!" Forgetting the fact that he had already showered once that day, Saionji picked up his Kendo sword and practically darted towards the training hall, he would have to make sure he was in top condition, the duel was on Saturday, 5 days from now, and Saionji knew he couldn't afford any mess-ups, it was highly unlikely that End of the World would give him another chance like this.
