| A Tangled Web By: Neko-chan Disclaimer: I do not own Revolutionary Girl Utena, though I am a HUGE fan. So please don't sue me. *grins* 'Kay? 'Kay. 'Cause if you do.....all I'll be able to do it turn my pockets inside out. Do you want to add a couple of lint balls to your keepsakes? I think not. Warning: This ficcie contains spoilers for the Black Rose Saga---to a certain extent. Prelude of a Blood Red Rose The web was tangled; she could see that it was far-reaching, it affected everyone in the school. The young girl watched as the spider spun his web, and preyed on the ones weaker than he. He was dangerous, she knew. He could have become so much more, he could have had the power to revolutionize the world. But he succumbed to evil; the thirst for power controlled him. In his soul, he was dead. And I will stop you, now and forever, spiteful spider, she thought as she watched Utena begin her journey that would one day lead her to Revolution. For my web is even more tangled, more complex. * * * Mikage pushed his glasses up further on his nose with one delicate finger. Raising an eyebrow, he stared at the young girl sitting across from him. "You have just recently transferred to Ohtori Academy recently, have you not?" She inclined her head slightly, making a strand of long red-orange hair fall across a shoulder. "Yes," she said softly, her gray eyes wide with innocence. Mikage smiled, "And why do you want to join my sessions?" Her head cocked and she replied, "Because I want to make friends." The senior leaned towards her, his fingers steepled. His pink hair fell forward, shadowing his eyes. "Deeper.......go deeper." The girl stared at him, her eyes searching. Her gaze seemed to pierce right through him; it seemed to see his soul. Her gray eyes narrowed, as if he didn't like what she saw. Mikage shifted in his seat, suddenly anxious. "No other reason," she finally replied after long moments. Mikage leaned back in his leather chair. His eyebrows raised in surprise. "No other reasons? You do not wish to go deeper?" The gray eyes hardened. "No. I have no other reasons, and I do not wish to go deeper. Can we please continue this discussion at a later time? I have an appointment with Head Chairman Akio Ohtori." She quickly stood, then bowed. When the new student had left, Mikage sat there, staring at the wooden door she had exited through. Reaching for the folder in front of him, he flipped it open. "Kenji Arashi.......let's see if you would make a good duelist, shall we not?" Then, with a decisive snap, he closed the folder and left his office. |
