Morning came as always in Nemina, but there was something different about this morning. Nermina has now have their own prince in the district. It was Utena's first day at her new school. Wearing a modified outfit of her prince uniform. Black short instead of slacks, her blue jacket is more form fitting and no cape. With a happy smile on her face as she walks the streets of Nermina, glad to be here at such a normal and peaceful district. Not like Juuban and all those girls in the short skirts of different colors throwing magic around at those demons. It was fun helping them out and all but some of the looks they gave her when they thought she wasn't looking disturbed her abit. And that guy in the tuxedo and mask was just so annoying. Spouting out bad poetry and throwing roses that did nothing, and calling himself a prince. A prince wouldn't hide in the shadows and watch a girl fight a demon and only throw those useless roses. A prince would stand by his princess and fight with her, never leaving her side even in death they shall never part. And she said so after meeting them for the first time after a demon attack near her place she was staying. That's was also when those girls started to look at her in that weird way with a strange gleam in their eyes and the blushes on their cheeks.
Shaking her head to rid of such thoughts of the past, Utena sees that she's nearing her new school. With a skip in her step she passes the gates heading for the doors just then a rose comes flying at her. Utena grabs it in mid air turning to where it came from, she spots the figure of Kuno in his kendo outfit.
"For you my beautiful princess. For thou such a angel to be in the present of thiself. Kuno the Blue thunder! (Lighting strikes in the back ground) Such is only worthy of not one but now three beauties!" Kuno starts to laugh and think about his now three loves. Tendo Akane, the fierce tigeress. Pigtail girl, such a delicate flower. And now Tenjou Utena, his pink haired princess.
Utena's left eye starts to twitch when he calls her a princess and it only got worse as his laughs continues. She then takes out a bokken out of subspace, taking a pose with her sword at the ready. Utena glares at the laughing kendoist.
"I am no princess you idiotic fool. I am a prince! I don't need to be protected. As a prince I"LL do the protecting!"With that declared Utena strikes Kuno who was not prepared for such an attack. Moments later Utena heads for the doors leaving behind a defeated and bruised Kuno and now blushing fangirls. Nabiki with yen signs in her eyes, hands out booklets about Utena's adventures and the tale of the Rose Prince.
As Utena heads to her first class after getting her class schedule from the office, wondering if the desk clerk was okay she was really red in the face when Utena entered. 'Must be a flu going around or something.' With that out of her mind Utena stands next to the teachers desk and awaits for class to start and introduce herself. But as she waits Utena hears a faint noise that gets closer and closer. Leaving her place Utena heads for the window, as she looks out she can see a dust cloud getting closer to the school as it gets closer she could now see two figures, one female the other male running towards the school. As they near, Utena can now hear their voices getting louder and louder. Something about the male being a pervert and the female being an uncute tomboy. Fanilly seeing the figures clearer Utena sees the female being Tendo Akane, the girl she met the other day but the male she hasn't met yet.
"Hey! Akane-san! Up here! Good moring." Utena yells out the window getting the attention of the student body. They all look up to see Utena waving her arms around with a big smile on her face. All the other girls turn to look with envy at Akane who blushes at seeing Utena with such a happy face looking right at her. With a dreamy sigh Akane waves back smiling happily.
"Utena-sama! Good morning!" Akane yells back glad to see Utena again so soon. Utena look to the male confusion on her face.
"Umm. Akane-san Where is Ranma-san?" Utena asks the blushing girl down on the ground. 'Hmm. That boy looks nurvise. I wonder why?' Utena thinks as she sees the boy fidgets around. Turning back to Akane she sees that she as well is fidgeting. 'That's odd.'
"Uh... She goes ta different school. In a different district really." The boy next to Akane says qiuckly. "Come on Akane we don't want ta be late." The boy takes Akane's hand and was about to run into the building when he suddenly fell flat on his face. Akane bents down to check if he was okay with him saying that he was, Akane picks up the boys arm and enters the school with the boy being dragged behind her. Shrugging it off as nothing Utena turns around and heads back to the teachers desk to wait for class to start, not noticing the blushing girls in the room staring at her.
Morning classes has been... interesting. Utena has found that she is in the same class as Akane and that strange boy. Same strange boy was sleeping in class right now and no one, not even the teacher seems to bother with him doing so. His sleep doesn't seem to be very fitful though. Keeps going on about being weak and something about an old pervert. Oh well it's not really Utena's business to anyways.
Lunch has come faster than Utena thought but she forgot her lunch what with being so exicted about getting to school. But all the girls were being so nice they shared their lunch with her. With her first day here and already she's made alot of friends with most of her classmates. The boys seem okay but they don't really come near her, they seem nervise about something and the girls keep giving them odd looks. And the girls are very nice. They all seem to want to spend all their time with her. Giving her gifts and invites to their place, but why so late at night? Being so late it must mean some kind of slubber party, maybe. But why just the two alone and with no adults in the house? Nermina girls seem just like Juuban girls with the odd glazed eyes and red faces.
Soon the day draws to an end. As Utena leaves the building there was a huge group of girls waitting outside, thinking they were just hanging out with their friend Utena goes around them. They seem to be in a daze of some sort as they stand there. Exiting school grounds Utena walks down the street, looking down the road Utena spots Akane and the boy. 'I never really got his name...' Shrugging it off Utena jogs up to them.
"Akane-san! Hey." Utena got both of their attentions so she continues. "So what are you up to? Is this your boyfriend? Hi names Tenjou Utena nice to meet you." Utena reaches her hand out to shakes the boys hand.
"As if I want ta go out with this uncute tomboy!" The boy yells out with a bit of a blush on his cheeks.
"And who wants to be with a pervert like YOU!" Akane mallets the pigtailed boy into the air. Watching the flying boy sail through the air Utena sweetdrop. Akane turns around and looks at her as if nothing was wrong. "Oh I was just heading home. What are you doing?"
"Uhh... Oh nothing just wanted to know if you want to hang out for a while. Since I'm new here I thought maybe you can show me around." Utena says abit nervously.
"Sure I can show you around Utena-sama!" Akane beams.
"Your cute when you smile like that you know that right?" Utena asks. Akane blushing big time stares into Utena's warm blue eyes. There is a silence for awhile as they walk down the street. Akane now staring down to the road still blushing, Utena looking up at the sky thinking she said something wrong. "Umm... Akane-san if I said anything wrong, I'm sorry." Utena finally says.
"NO! ....I mean you didn't say any wrong. You don't need to apoligise, Utena-sama." Akane calms down abit as does her blush.
"Oh okay great! I was worried there for a bit. I would really like it if we can be friends." Utena smiles at Akane who once again blushes, this time she smiles as well. Now continueing with their walk they pass by the Nekohaten, with the smells of some great chinese cuisene Utena's stomache grumbles loudly. Sweetdropping Utena scratches the back of her head laughing nervously. "Guess I'm still hungry. I should've brought my lunch today."
"Well we can go in and get have a snack if you want." Akane says as she turns and heads for the Nekohaten. "Oh and I can make you your lunch tomorrow! Would you like that? I mean only if it's okay with you, Utena-sama." Blushing Akane looks to Utena with pleading eyes wanting to please her. Caving in Utena agrees.
"You no want kitchen destroyer make you lunch. Why not have too too good chinese food. Shampoo be too too happy to bring you food. Is okay?" The voice of Shampoo says as she walks by. Akane became red. with anger.
"Hey! My cooking isn't that bad. And Utena-sama will love it! You just wait and see!" Akane yells. Not really liking that her cooking skills are being bad mouthed right in front of Utena.
"Huh thanks Shampoo-san, but I already agreed with Akane with lunch. I don't like going back on my word." Utena tries and defuse any argument between the two girls.
"Shampoo bring lunch anyways just be safe. No want prince-girl die from too too toxic food from kitchen destroyer." Shampoo nods to herself and walks away after getting their orders.
"I'm sure you can't be that bad, Akane-san. Anyways so where should we go after we eat?" Utena tries and distract Akane from her source of anger. ie Shampoo.
"Maybe we can take a walk through some of the parks. Theres suppose to be a performance there this afternoon. Would you like to go?" Akane was glad for the change in topic. "It's a duo playing there, they say there great when playing together. The famous Tenoh Haruka and Kaoh Michiru on the piano and violin."
"That sound like fun." Utena smiles happily, looking forward to seeing a performance. She heard so much about them but never really heard anything from them. With that in mind they start eating as soon as the food comes flying to their table.
Later in the park Utena and Akane enjoy watching the duo play. The two were great together, one was as soft as a summer breeze the other was as deep as the ocean. Perfectly balanced with the other. As if they were dancing around together in the moon light. The wind and the sea together. The short blonde haired Tenoh Haruka at the piano wearing a tux in a shade of deep blue and The shoulder length aqua haired lady with the violin in a sort of light almost pale purple dress. (So I can't really do fashion too good)
"Their really great! I'm glad we came here." Utena said as they stand there together watching as the two finish their last piece. Bowing the two left the stage to two other people that also watched. The other pair were a woman and a little girl. The woman with long dark green hair has been staring at Utena since she and Akane had arrived. This unerved Utena as that she couldn't tell what the woman would want with looking at her as if trying to pierce her very soul with her eyes alone. Those maroon eyes that look like they can see all. Turning to her other friends the green haired woman talked then points to where Utena and Akane where. Then the rest of them turns and looks at Utena in confusion. The little girl with short raven hair starts to blush after only looking at Utena for just a second. The three adults turn to look at the girl then turn back at Utena and repeated the action again. It seems they came to an agreement and started to head to the two who were watching them with a bit confusion and nervousness.
"Uh how about we head back now. How about it?" Akane asks nervously. backing away and behind Utena.
"No. A prince would never run away. A prince would stay and protect the princess. I will not run and if need be I will fight." Utena firmly states,taking a stance fully blocking Akane from the four heading their way.
"Utena-sama..." Akane sighs dreamly. Staring starry eyed at Utena with a deep blush on her face. The four women where almost when Nabiki came up from behind Utena and Akane. When the four see her they all stop and talk to themselves. After about a minute they walked away without confronting Utena and Akane.
"Hey, Akane what you up to" Nabiki asks as she reaches her sister and Utena. When she looks over to where they were looking at her eyes go wide in surprise. "Oh my god! It's Meioh Setsuna, Tenoh Haruka, Kaoh Michiru, and Tomoe Hataru! The famous four!" Nabiki says excitedly.
"You know who they are, Nabiki-chan?" Akane asks surprised.
"Who doesn't! Meioh-sama is the famous fashion designer whose clothings go around the world. Tenoh, the youngest race car driver to get first place in her first year. Kaoh, not only is she a great violinist but also wonderful painter. Tomoe the proditge at such a young age, any field she enters is like she was born into it. Only in junior high shes taking college courses. And their like one big family. Tenoh and Kaoh have adopted Tomoe as their daughter and they all live together. That's why they are called the Famous Four." Nabiki says excitedly. A little saddened that she missed out on Tenoh and Kaoh's duet.
"Hmmm.... I wonder what they wanted with us then?" Utena asks herself just thinking out load.
"What are you talking about, 'to do with you?'" Nabiki asks confused and a bit of envy.
"Well they are from the Juuban district. Maybe they heard about you from there. You did say you met the Sailor Senshi." Akane says with reason in her logic.
"Yeah I guess your right, Akane-san. Well now that their over with the performance do you girl want to come over to my place for a while. I'll even make you dinner!" Utena offers the Tendo sister who gladly agreed. With that they head over to Utena's appartment building.
'Utena-sama is there anything you can't do?' Akane sighs dreamily to herself.
'She's an all around athlete, intelligence in politics. If you were a guy we could have had it all together. Nothing would have stopped us in the business world.' Nabiki thinks about what could have beens, if only.
When they have arrived at Utena's place, they were surprised it was so modest in design and spares. With just the necessary furniture and not that many decorations anywhere.
"My how quant. You are going to decorate here aren't you Utena-san?" Nabiki asks as she looks around not seeing anything that really caught her eye until she saw a picture of what must be Utena's family. Her mom looking like a carbin copy of Utena with the same shade of pink hair but green eyes. Her father a tall musculer brown hair and her blue eyes shining in his, the same soft blue. And Utena herself at such a young age. She must have been 6 when this was taken. But looking around Nabiki didn't find any other pictures of her family, this one was the only one to be seen. Other pictures were of Utena and a older woman who looked abit like Utena but with blonde hair and green eyes, must have been her aunt, with just the two of them in the picture. But they both looked abit sad but still somewhat happy. More pictures showed of Utena and her aunt through the years. Looking at the picture of Utena's young age and sad eyes standing with her aunt, it fanilly hits Nabiki like a slap on the face. 'Oh god! Poor Utena to lose her parents at such a young age. At least me and my sisters have each other and daddy...' Nabiki thinks sadly turning back to look at Utena now. She seems happy and carefree but theres a little sadness still there in her eyes buried deep within, so deep that no one would have seen it if you weren't looking for it in the first place. 'Utena... so stronge and yet gentle...' Nabiki's heart flutters and a blush enters her cheeks without her knowing. 'Maybe it doesn't matter that your a girl Utena I think I just might fall for you... yes I just might.'
"Nabiki be nice. It's a nice place you have, Utena-sama!" Akane says cheerfully not seeing Nabiki's blush and misty eyes.
"Oh it's okay. I just moved here anyways. Would you like to help me with the place, Nabiki-san?" Utena asks with a warm smile. When she looks at Nabiki she sees sadness and understanding. Then she gives her a sad smile this time and just nods her head, Nabiki nods in return.
"Sure I'd love to help. We could do that tomorrow after school if you'd like." Nabiki says in a quite voice. Akane not hearing the sadness or caring in the words, was just looking at the books with all the swordmanship training that were on the bookshelf.
"Sure. I'd like that." Utena says just as quitely." I should have dinner ready in a bit why don't you make yourelves comfortable. I'll be right back." Utena announces and head for the kitchen to make dinner.
Dinner was quite nice with company that night for Utena. After dinner Nabiki and Akane left with promises of walking to school together from Nabiki and a lunch box waiting for her by Akane. Nabiki turned a bit pale by that and tries to talk Akane out of it as they both left her place. That night as Utena lays in bed wondering about what tomorrow has in store for her. And she can't wait to see, with that Utena falls asleep and dreams about adventures that await her in her future and a princess that just might be in reach soon. Not knowing the half of it. Tomorrow will be just as chaotic if not more than today. The Rose Bride is on her way to meet her prince real soon.
