Packing Up

[anthyrosebride]

Anthy put the last article of clothing into her bag. She looked around at the room that she had become accustomed to. Turning to Chuchu she said, "Its time to go Chuchu. Lord Miki will be waiting for us or at least I think he will be." Anthy's eye were brimming with tears, she had let Utena Tenjou's constant words of friendship get to her. She was not meant to be friends with anyone. She was only an instrument to revolutionize the world nothing more and nothing less. She suppose she would have to wait until her brother gave her further orders to follow through with. She picked up her suitcase and turn to leave yet she did not feel chuchu's weight on her shoulder or the suitcase turning around she discovered that he still was sitting on Utena's bed. "Come Chuchu we will be late and we wouldn't want to be late now would we."

Chuchu stubbornly replied. "Chu chuchu chu."

"No Chuchu we cannot stay here. I am the rose bride and as the rose bride I'm required to be with the winner of the duel."

"Chu"

"Because that is how it has been dictated and that is what the end of the world requires."

"Chuchu chu"

"What is fair though Chuchu. Come now Lord Miki will be waiting."

Chuchu shook his head with fervor and held on to Utena's comforter. Anthy grabbed him by his ear and pulled him away. "It is not right to anger Lord Miki even before we have gotten to know him. I only hope that you will be able to get along better than you did with Saionji."

With that Chuchu settled down on Anthy's shoulder and they left the room.
