"Flowering Romance" A Shojou Kakumei Utena story that never was... Part 5 "Himemiya... I... stayed over at Wakaba's... we went over The Book... for a while... and by then if I'd come back it would have woke you up. So I stayed over there instead. I'm sorry." "It's quite alright, Utena-sama. Chu-chu and I finished reading The Book together. The ending is quite sad Utena-sama." "Uh... Oh? What happens. I don't know if I'll ever get to that part." "Chu-chu you shouldn't eat Utena-sama's lunch. What will she eat then?" Chu-chu looked crestfallen, and held up one of his crackers to Utena. Utena smiled on the verge of tears at Chu-chu,"Oh no Chu-chu I can't accept that. You and your mistress are far to put out by me as it is. I'll be fine." Anthy smiled at Utena,"But Utena-sama... you must eat... I know I'll make something nice for dinner to make up for Chu-chu's appetite, Utena-sama. I have just enough time to shop this lunch period. Come on Chu-chu," and the pair left. Utena put her head on her knees,"But I'm not worthy of it Himemiya..." Wakaba's voice behind her startled her,"That's my fault. I knew what would happen... I yearned for what happened. So it's my fault Utena-sama... not yours. I'll understand if you don't like me for coming in between you and Anthy like that." Utena's mind stumbled,"Nani?" "I see how you look at each other... I was right here yesterday watching as you made that beautiful speech to Anthy. She's lucky to have to have you Utena, and I'll walk away if you want me too..." Utena wiped a tear off her face,"Do you want me to walk away?" Utena smiled and shook her head,"I wouldn't want either of you out of my life. You are my best friend. Himemiya is my friend as well." "But I have a beautiful memory to sustain me now... I'll stay away..." "Listen... Wakaba." "Yes Utena?" "The dream... I had the other day... I was on a game show... a guy who looked like Touga with a mustache... He called himself Kip or something... anyway... in the dream I had 2 Choices... I could marry either you... or Himemiya... and the other would get to marry Saionji... prepaid honeymoons in Paris were part of the package... but I couldn't pick. When time started dragging on... Kip informed me that I only had 5 minutes to choose one or the other and if I didn't in that time... I'd get neither... and Himemiya would get Saionji... and you'd become a Spinster... never having love again." "And you picked Himemiya, neh?" "No... I practically woke up screaming. I couldn't decide. And it hurt." Wakaba smiled back to her old self,"And here I was hoping I could have had Saionji." Utena chuckled. "But Utena... I can find someone... I know I can... you and Himemiya... I don't know it seems destined or something... you were talking about her in your dreams. I was SOOO jealous... but it seemed so right," Wakaba paused to sigh,"But if she ever upsets you she is answering to me." "Wakaba..." Miki suddenly walked up,"Information seems to be pointing that it's one of the history club students." "History Club? We have a History Club," Utena looked at Wakaba who was already rushing off. "I'll find out who wrote it yet!! Wakaba Shinohara will uncover the author!" Miki looked after the zooming Onion Princess,"She really wants to know who wrote it doesn't she?" "I think she's wondering if the author is cuter than Saionji..." Miki clicked on his stopwatch,"No one even knows the gender of the author... may not be somone from this campus," Miki pauses,"Is Anthy busy tonight? I saw her carrying groceries to your dorm from the student council balcony." "Himemiya must have run..." "I don't understand." "Chu-chu polished off my bento... and Anthy is going to make up for it by cooking tonight." "My sister is always trying to cook for me... Well I have to do my own Author Hunting before class." And then Tenjou was alone with her thoughts and troublesome emotions. -------- End part 5... the Shadow Girls are back in the next part. Stay Tuned ^-^ eldrick@mindless.com
