Hn? Was that a radio...

Or someone singing?


Tina lifted her head, face newly wet with tears, as the singing continued, louder this time... She sat up and rubbed her face hard, quickly drying the troublesome tears. Tina then stood up, rather shakily, then started traveling to the mystic sound. It had a beautiful ring to it, but it also sounded metallic almost. Rose petals started to flutter around Tina's fastly moving feet. They led her to a large, glass greenhouse, where more roses and plants grew. Cocking her head to one side, the blonde cautiously opened the door, peeking around. "Hello... anyone here?," she called out gently. A sound of a pot being dropped echoed in the greenhouse. Tina rushed over towards the end of the building and gasped.


Annei was on the floor, trying to pick up the broken pieces, black hair strewn about. "I'm so sorry... Tina! What are you doing here?!!," shrieked the dark-skinned girl, eyes widening. "Um... I walked out of class."

"Good first impression."

"Oh, leave me alone!" Annei threw the pieces of the pot away, dusted her hands, and placed them behind her, smiling brightly. "Come now, there must be a good explaination for why you did that." Tina pouted some, crossing her arms over her chest. "The Kiryuu brat."


"Ah... I see...," mused Annei slightly, walking to Tina and standing beside her. "You know, if you're intrested, the school is starting dueling session after the classes are over and also kendo practice. New thing. Everyone is signing up. Maybe you-" Tina stopped her by holding her hand up. " I think not. I'm not the dueling type. I'm an artist, not someone who fights for pleasure and smug victory. Besides, I don't even know HOW to hold a dueling sword!," complained Tina, plucking a rose from a nearby bush and staring at the pale pink petals. She felt Annei slide up next to her, and started talking lowly in her ear, her breath tickling it. " ... I think you have the perfect advantage... "


Tina shuddered some. "Quit that! That tickles.... anyways-" The blonde stood up straighter and fixed her coat up. "I gotta go. Wakaba is going to get rather upset at me for not meeting up with her." The girl started to walk out but a cool hand pressed down on her wrist. "Hey! Annei? What's wrong?," asked Tina as the dark-skinned beauty twirled her around, meeting her large green eyes. "You remember... I KNOW you do!" The blonde stared at the lithe creature before her, shocked and scared. "I have... no clue... what you're talking about," whispered Tina slowly and softly, trying her best to hide up the fact of her dreams of Himemiya. Delicate fingertips reached up and outlined Tina's lips, making her catch her breath and made her eyes grow wide. "Annei...," she breathed, red tinging her cheeks fastily as the short girl pressed herself against Tina, head reclining back some, neck pushing forward as to kiss her. Closing her eyes slowly, the blonde bent her head down some-


but instead of meeting soft lips, she was pushed away roughly by someone into darkness and water, slamming fully into a cold floor of broken stone and marble, crucifixes standing in the background against a angry, red-pink sky with dead vines and roses clinging to the dry wood of the crosses.


Tina was layed stiff and bleeding, wearing a torn Ohtori uniform for girls, hair billowing out on the cruel floor. "Where am I?," she asked loudly. Warm, large, strong hands held her up comfortingly and protectively. "Who are you?," she whispered softly, like a scared little child, staring into jade green eyes. The hands ran over her face and held her head, releaving Tina's pent up lonliness and sorrow. She sighed in content and and allowed the hands to travel over her body, making her parts tingle. She then smelt roses and was laying on a satin bed, the sheets wrapped around her chest and legs, and a arm encircled around her waist. Turning her head, Tina saw light violet hair falling down broad, dark-skinned shoulders and into green eyes. "My prince," she whispered lovingly and reached out a hand to his face. The man captured her hand, kissed it with delicate, butterfly kisses to her wrist, up her arm and to her shoulder, then neck, and finally her lips.


'They seem familiar...'


'They SHOULD. Don't you know who that is yet?'


'Ohtori... that's my-'


'No, THAT is not your prince. You abandonded me and left my soul to bleed for you in your return. But to have you- no. I still wait, my prince...'


Tina urged herself to open her eyes. When she did, she was up against the greenhouse wall, Annei kissing her lightly and hands around her neck. Tina pushed Annei away slowly, gasping for air. "Whoa... okay, WHAT just happened?!," demanded the blonde, a little bit shrilly. Annei smiled prettily and smoothed back some of Tina's mussed up hair. "I gave you a kiss, of course."


"Why?"


"I wanted too. To help you remember about 'us'," softly whispered the black-haired nymph, green eyes dazziling in the greenhouse light. "Annei," Tina sighed, closing her eyes and gently pushed her away. "I cannot do this... it... doesn't feel quite right." The black-haired girl stared at the person in front of her, silence emitting in the greenhouse, the humid, rose-scented air filling every passage-way to Tina's lungs, making her feel as those she was choking on it. The birds twittered outside brightly with the sun, then stopped as someone appraoched the building. Annei suddenly gasped. "Quick! You must hide!," she insisted, scared. Tina looked around quickly and dove behind a vine-covered shelf, allowing her sight to see who the person was. Tina watched Annei smooth down her skirt, fix her blouse, and stand up straight and tall, hands folded in front of her. 'What is going on with her?,' Tina thought, brow furrowing in slight fustration. The door opened, cool wind following behind the person and brushing Tina's blonde hair from her shoulders. The door closed with a muffled click and a deep voice started to speak.


"You went off again when I told you not too." Aah! Kyouichi Saionji!


"Oh... my brother told me to water the violet roses for him because Kanae was coming today... please, do not get mad at me, Saionji," Tina heared Annei whisper in a meek and scared tone. Tina watched the sage-haired man walk to Annei and whisper something in her ear and then caress her cheek. Tina frowned deeply. She didn't like this Saionji... why though? Tina continued to stare at him, figuring out this person until something crept up in the back of her memory...

**

I stood there, amongst the rose gardens, in a high arena, in the sky...


Holding a wooden, kendo pratice sword and a fierce gaze upon him...


He had made fun of my friend and I didn't like that.


And there before me, stood Saionji and a girl in red with large, green eyes and pulled up, purple hair with glasses, holding two roses- one imperial white, one fiery red. Her dark skin gleamed in the afternoon sun, as she made her way to me. She pinned the rose on and looked only at me briefly, then casted her eyes on the ground and walked back to him.


I had to duel for my friend's honor- and to prove to this person that I was good and a somebody. He mocked me as we fought, as I sweat, as I tired. Saionji was good and beyond my skills. Then, just looking at that sad girl made me fight harder. She was like a caged bird that needed to be released from her entrapment. I pushed harder until my sword broke by Saionji's. I glared at him as he chuckled then lunge towards me. My sword slung up and broke the rose off his breast pocket, a scurry of velvet green petals flying in the air.

Tina blinked sleepily from her daydream. It seemed so real... and so did the place she was in. 'Hadn't I fought in thar arena before? No- I've never been to this academy before in my life!' Tina turned her attention to Annei and Saionji- and wished she didn't. Eyes widening, Tina saw Saionji kissing her rather passionately and rumanging his hands over her supple body. The blonde grew a lovely red-color in the face and covered her eyes. 'Dummy.' Then, as if by magic, someone wrapped a arm around her waist and clamped a hand over her mouth gently, making Tina's eyes open wider and give out a muffled gasp. Her back was pressed against a sturdy, hard chest and her eyes fell on a lock of red, silken hair. 'Touga...' A smooth voice glided over her. "What are you doing here?," murmured Touga in her ear lowly, his breath tickling her outer lobe and making Tina flush red harder. "I-I...um..." Touga gently led her away from Annei and Saionji and to the outside, where a fresh breeze crept down her lungs, filling them up with the clean air.


Tina whirled herself way from Touga and glared at him. "What were you doing in there, might I ask," she implored rather harshly, narrowing her aqua eyes. "Looking for you. You hurt my baby sister very badly," he said, smiling his charming smile at her and flicking back some of his red tressles from his eyes. "Well, she just now leanred that you never mess with my artwork! It takes me such long dedication to make those pictures and she goes through my sketchbook and nearly destroys it!," Tina growled loudly form her throat, and then stalked away, throwing over her shoulder, "Have a wonderful day, Mr. Kiryuu! I am going to MY dorm!"


A hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, whirling her around as if she was dancing, blonde hair flying out behind her like a shinning cape until her body was smacked heavily against another and her head tilted up by impact. Lips captured hers and two arms embraced her tightly, but comfortably. Tina's eyes widen largely as she saw her captor-


Touga.


The kiss was slowly and sweet, unlike her first one she had with him in her bedroom last night. Tina relaxed and sighed into his mouth, allowing him access inside her mouth with his tonuge. His kisses were unlike the ones Tina had when she had boyfriends. Touga had put 'something' in his when the other boys was lust. But this was wrong- and too fast! Tina pressed her hands against his chest and pushed away from him some, eyes bright and face flushed but her anger boiling. "This is a strange day... can't I just go to my dorm, please?," she whinned and looked away, blushing slightly. "Of course, princess," she heard him say quietly, brushing a hand down the side of her face. Tina turned and walked on, her cheek tingling with along with her lips.


'This school gets weirder and weirder...


but what about my dreams?'
