Where The Rose Lies
(c)2000 AnimeCraft Entertainment LLC



As long as I can remember, I saw a prince on a white horse, the rose scented smell penetrated my nostrils, wanting himt o kiss me again. The sky turned dark and in the distance i saw something, a huge rose shaped image, a dark figure being impaled by streams of light and he looked me and turned away. He listened to me as I made a promise to myself, a promise that somehow was full of innocence and light, but I was exploited to the very end. Fitting for a make believe prince.
Utena Tenjoh's Journal Entry-Spring 1998

-Hey, Hey, Where are you?-
-The Distance of myself near the Sea-
-Hey, Hey, Where are you?-
-Where else I can be? Near The Grave of Death I was-
-Hey, Hey, Where are you?-
-In The scent of a Red Rose I am-
-Smelling The blood that flows within-
-My, A tortured Child I was-
-I have tasted the Blood, and it's name is Akio-
-Hey, Hey, Where Are You?-
-You can never be a prince, that's why you are dead-
-Hey, Hey, Where are You?-
-I'm not dead, just disappeared-
-No one remembers me, No one forgives me-
-Just a spectator that just passed through-
-I see the end of the road ahead, I see it now-
-To one that I made a promise to-
-To one that I let taste friendship-
-Hey, Hey, Where are you?-
-To one that I saved from herself-
-To one that I have kept my promise to-

I stop writing the poem, looking over the hospital windows. Funny that I ended up here, and still lying here 6 months after the duel called Revolution. I can feel the scar slowly healing, but it hurts like hell. I guess Akio-san put me in here to cover up any tracks that he made, to see that I got injured doing sports, but it hurts to see that he was he, the End of the World.

-Hey, Hey, Where are you?-
-I'm on the car with The End of The World-
-Riding with him from the carnival that we took-
-Seducer, Liar, Promiser of false hopes-
-Yeah, It's funny that he is like that-
-You should've been more careful-
-Nanami warned you, yet you didn't listen-
-Now I see where the pain has gone-
-Hey, hey, Where are you?-
-I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, That life was a play?-
-How so? How so? Hmm...We are players after all-
-Funny that you should mention that, I got the audition!-
-Now I can be a Famous Star,Riding with The End Of The World-
-He can promise me that if I want anything, I want to set the Rose Bride free!-
-I wonder, I wonder, what do you wonder?-
-Hey, hey, Where are you?-
-I wonder, I wonder, Absolute Destiny Apocalypse I wonder-
-I'm on the car with The End of the World-

I turn over in my sleep, seeing his face, his beautiful angelic FACE,  and I toss and turn over in my bed, feeling a sword come out of me once more, feeling his soft, rose scented hands grasping the handle of the sword,  but I see something else, a million swords in the distance, shining with blood. Why that he made me the sacrifice of this ritual that he started? I felt something more but that didn't stop him, and so, I'm here. Lying awake in my hospital bed.

" Miss Tenjoh, there is a guest to see you." I hear the Doctor's voice. I turn over in the bed facing the window, but somehow I feel tears slowly coming out of my eyes. The salty taste leaves me desiring for more, even my notebook that I have is slowly being stained by it. Writing helps a lot considering the circustamces that I'm in.
"Ms.Utena, I have come to see you." I hear soft girl's voice coming near beside me, and I smell the scent of roses once more. She couldn't  be here, no way in hell she could be here.
" I've brought some tea just like we promised," She grabbed by my shoulders, feeling her soft, brown skin electrify me. I slowly turn over and I see her. The little girl that once was a witch.
"Himemiya...."
The End.
