Chapter 4: The first time I see an Angel
"This is the best vehicle already made the man hands in all history. And our constructor of ships projected it entirely." A man, probably one of the Titanic owners said for the others that were in the table. Anthy, Akio and Saionji equally were there too.
"I can have constructed it entirely, but the idea was all of the White Star Line." Another man who was in the table said, receiving the attention from the others. "This company imagined a vapor ship, so huge and luxurious that the supremacy never would be defied. And is it here! Transformed into reality."
"Of course." The others had agreed. Anthy observed the talk that was having in the table while in silence she take cigarette, without apparent interest in the subject, however, keeping the good appearance of a lady in a table being composed, for a great majority, of men.
"You already know that I don't like you smoking, Anthy." Akio only said low the sufficient so that only the girl can hear. Anthy only looks at her brother while she freed the smoke in her mouth on his face.
"She knows." Saionji said taking the cigarette from her without asking for permission, while he looked cold for the girl ignored it. Then, the employers of the ship had appeared on the table, as soon as the man with green hair said. "We want sheep. You like sheep, right, honey?"
Anthy only smiles, with a blank expression in her face. Nanami, who also was in the table, looked at the couple and said to the man.
"Will you want also cut the meat for her, Saionji?" She said sarcastic while the man glared at her. Nanami then turned over with a smile in her face and asked for the Titanic. "Man, who thought about the name Titanic for this ship?"
"Was I." The man who had initiated the talk in the table said while he smiles. Having of this time the Anthy attention. "I wanted to mention the size of the ship, and size means stability, luxury, and above all, power."
"Do you knows the doctor Freud, Sir?" Anthy asks after some seconds, having the attention of the man for her, and also of all the others in the table. "His theory on the concern with the size can be very interesting."
Anthy says without expression in her face while Nanami and Touga had fought so that a smile did not appear in they faces. The others in the table released a soft laugh at the comment.
"What happened with you?" Akio asks and Anthy doesn't answer, only arising herself of the place where she was seated.
"Excuse-me" Anthy said then leaving the place.
"I apologize for the improper attitudes of my sister." Akio says while Nanami comments.
"She has spirit. I would like to see, how you would go to deal with it, Saionji."
"I can have to start to see what she reads. Right, Mrs. Kiryuu?" The man with green hair said cold.
"Freud. Who is he? A passenger?" The man who initiates the talk asks, provoking a laugh of both the Kiryuu brothers.
In the exterior of the ship, in one of the laterals, was one old gentleman that hugged a child, played with his hands. In some meters of distance, Utena intently observes Mr. and the child, drawing both with perfect details in a sheet of paper.
"The ship is pretty, don't you think?" Wakaba comments with Keiko Sonoda, one of the people who equally, were a member of the 3 class.
"Yeah, is an Irish ship." Keiko said, while Wakaba was surprised and Utena continued to observe intently old man and the child to detail her drawing.
"He is not English?" Wakaba asks while Keiko laughs.
"No, it was made in Ireland, 15,000 mans had constructed it. Solid as a rock. Great Irish hands." She said while she and Wakaba observed employees of the ship taking a walk with dogs, probably pets of the passengers of the first class. "Looks at that… Typical… They bring the dogs to making dirt here…"
Utena laughed at the done commentary while she looked at Keiko.
"They want to remember our place in the society." The prink-haired said laughing.
"As if it was possible to forget." Keiko said laughing next to Wakaba. Keiko then come close to Utena and extends her hand. "I am Keiko Sonoda."
"Utena Tenjou." Utena said while she complimented the other girl, that seconds later extended her hand too to Utena's friend.
"Wakaba Shinohara." After this, Keiko looked at the paper that in Utena's hands and asks.
"Do you earns money with this drawings?" Utena smiled again looking at for the drawings, and then looking Keiko, however, instead of answering, her blue eyes had caught another thing.
From above where the three friends talked, a young lady appears, walking graciously she enters the people until she leaning in one of the barriers of protection, looking at the sea who extended front to the ship. The dress that she used was simple, however still luxurious, of a red and smooth color that balanced freely to the wind, while the twilight illuminated her beautiful dark skin and some wires of her hair. Her hair was purple, imprisoned above her head, giving the appearance of being short, if not observed well. Her eyes were green, deep and mysterious. But her facial expression was one of a caged bird trying to fight to gain her liberty.
Keiko perceiving that the look of Utena was not on her, but in some place behind, she turned, and then, when seeing the young of green eyes, smiled, looking again for Utena.
" She is one of the passengers of the first class. Is easier to see angels than approaching to that people." Keiko said while she looks at the sea. "Ah what I would give to have a dress like that …"
Utena even so listened what Keiko spoke, her eyes was fixed in the young girl with dark skin. Some unknown force keeps her eyes on her, and the pink-haired girl still don't know why the sudden interest in people of the first class. Even if the girl with green eyes was like a bird begging to be freed of her suffering, Utena was certain that was the first time she's see an angel.
In a moment, the green eyes of the girl with dark skin had passed on the people who were in that part of the ship, until finally they stopped on the blue eyes of a girl, where they had remained fixed during some seconds, before again they came back to the sea as before.
Some seconds had passed before one more time they came back in the direction of the blue and deep eyes that the girl have found, and both of them one more time met.
Wakaba talked happily with Keiko, when then she turns to Utena to ask that type of dress would fall well in the girl with orange hair, when then she sees that her friend was not with her attention in the talk.
"Utena?" Wakaba called, and the pink-haired girl doesn't answers, making Wakaba pass her hand in front of Utena eyes. However, seeing that it was useless, Wakaba looks at for the girl with green eyes and observes the so pretty dress that Keiko was talked about.
The eyes of the girl in the red dress had one more time been turned toward the sea, when then a man with a strange green hair approaches to her, and he grasps brusquely one arm of the girl with one of his hands. Both then had seemed to enter in a quiet quarrel, until the moment where both of them once more entered on the interior of the ship.
"I lived my live as if I had already lived it. One interminable paraded of balls and parties, always the same uninteresting people, the same fool talk."
During the supper, in the table where the Ohtori brothers were seated being served for the diverse employers, Anthy observed happened in her sided without interest, her face without expression and her eyes without life, until finally she decides closes them.
"I felt myself in front of a great precipice… No one to hold me. Nobody who cares…Or who have see it…"
Steps echoed on the wood that formed the halls on the exterior of the ship, while Anthy despaired were running to more far than the ship could allowed. Passing for the few people of the high society that had in her way, not worrying in excusing herself if she finish to bump on them, however, never she stopped her race, going up and down on diverse stairs that they appeared in her way, not mattering if people with shocked or angry looks.
In the diverse banks that were in the stern of the ship, Utena was lying in one of them, observing intently the stars that without the great amount of light of the great cities, or the smoke of the diverse vehicles, appeared and shone splendid. Her right arm was on the back of her heard, serving as pillow against the hard bank.
Girl then closes her eyes, using to advantage the rare moment of peace, until this was broken for hard and fast steps of a young that passes for Utena, without perceiving her in that bank. The girl with dark skin continues to run until finally she stops on the barriers that formed the security of the ship.
Tears went down on Anthy face, her face loaded a desperate expression and her eyes begged for freedom, while the calm breeze of the night shocked against her dark skin and her hair that still remained imprisoned in top of her head. Her green eyes looked for exit, some place where she could escape of everything and of all. Until finally she lowers her look for the sea, to the waters that came from under the ship after have passed for the helices.
Anthy then looks back to were she have came, and seeing nobody that was there, she slowly places her hands on the barrier, and after to remove both the shoes that she used, the girl of green eyes then moves away the dress and goes up, jumping for the other side placing her feet in the tip of the hull, while her hands held in the white barrier. Anthy then inclines her body forward. Just release her hands from the metal and a step in the invisible, would be the end of all her suffering.
He he, sorry, the encounter between Anthy and Utena is very long, so it will be on the next chapter lol
