Utena: Halloween

“This is REALLY embarrassing,” Utena Tenjou murmured, the pink haired woman looking down disapprovingly at the dress she was wearing. In fact she had even worn it once before, the pink monstrosity that Touga Kiryuu had insisted she wear for the ball. ‘Though I think Anthy may have added a few extra ruffles,’ Utena mused.

“I think it looks lovely,” Anthy Himemiya said mildly, the dusky skinned purple haired young woman reaching up to adjust her thin red tie. Rather atypically Anthy was dressed in a elegant suit, the black cloth hugging her slim body along with a few rose highlights, like her tie and cuff links.

“On you, maybe,” Utena chuckled. They walked to the door of their dorm room as she asked, “So who’s idea was this again?”

“The chairman’s,” Anthy answered as she politely opened the door for her.

“Taking the part to heart?” Utena asked with a smile. “And does the slimeball have anything interesting planned for tonight?” she wondered.

“It wouldn’t surprise me,” Anthy admitted.

Utena nodded seriously, “Then we’d better be prepared.”

As they walked out of the dorm building, Utena mused on how her opinion of the Chairman Akio Ohtori had so radically changed. Maybe it had been chance that caused her to walk in on him and his mother in law, maybe it was fate, but seeing him being so blatantly unfaithful to his fiancé had really opened her eyes. Now she was far more aware of his plotting, though what his ultimate goal was remained unknown.

“Utena-san, wait up,” a very annoying voice called.

Utena winced. Ever since Touga Kiryuu had lost to her he had declared himself her follower, and had even moved in to the dorm with them. Not that she minded, exactly, but he hogged the hot shower water, not to mention dragging much more of the student council craziness into their lives.

“I’m glad I caught up to you,” Touga cheerfully noted as both Anthy and Utena gazed in shock at his outfit. He wore a dress that matched the one that utena did, realistic falsies giving him decent looking breasts, and a lovely pink flower nestled in his perfectly styled hair.

“I’m almost glad to see someone who looks more foolish than I do,” Utena admitted after a moment as they fell into step together.

“You wound me,” Touga murmured, amusement twinkling in his eyes.

Anthy smiled cheerfully, “I think he looks adorable.”

Touga chuckled softly as they passed beneath a arch leading towards the school buildings and the Halloween Ball, “What every man wants to hear himself described as.” He looked over at Utena and smiled charmingly, “May I have a dance tonight?”

Utena rolled her eyes as she pointedly took Anthy’s hand and said to him, “Sorry, my dance card is full.”

“Pity,” Touga mused.

“Besides,” Utena looked him over, “we’d probably trip over each other’s skirts.”

Touga chuckled as they reached the building where a brown haired girl held the main doors open, “That’s true.”

“Welcome,” Wakaba smiled at them wryly, dressed in boy’s jeans, T-shirt and a matching jacket. Her long hair had been tied back and greased a bit, making her look much more boyish than she usually did.

“I’d jump on you for a change,” Utena looked amused, “but I can barely move in this dress, much less jump.”

Wakaba snickered, “I’ll look you up later.”
Inside, the crowd was a riot of gender bent colors as the young men and women of Ohtori mingled and talked. Miki Kaoru looked extremely uncomfortable in his girl’s uniform, while his twin fumed in the background as he drew more attention than she did. Nanami Kiryuu had exchanged her usual feminine garb for a altered version of Touga’s usual wear, drawing the adoring glances of her usual group of followers.

“Poor Saionji,” Touga snickered softly.

The green haired kendoist Saionji had decided on wearing a black mini-dress, even shaving his legs for the occassion, but it really didn’t suit him. Stalking over he growled darkly, “When I find Ohtori he’s a dead man.”

“Nice legs,” Utena smirked.

“Shut up, Tenjou,” Saionji scowled, more than a bit distracted by Anthy in a suit.

“Don’t speak that way about my Utena,” Anthy warned, taking Utena’s hand and then linking arms with her.

“Cute, aren’t they?” Touga remarked, “I think Anthy’s suit is getting to her.”

“She’s not the only one,” Saionji noted, nodding towards where Juri was standing.

The already notorious ‘big lesbian on campus’ Juri Arisugawa was dressed in black leather pants and jacket, a ivory white shirt hugging her breasts. Not too surprisingly she was drawing a admiring crowd, including a few of Touga’s usual girl groupies.

“I think I’m impressed,” Utena admitted after a moment, a decidedly odd tone appearing in her voice.

Anthy looked over at her in surprise as she murmured, “Utena!”

Before Utena could reply Miki swished over, the blue haired boy looking very feminine in his matching dress. “Help,” he whispered, a group of male admirers trailing after him along with a clearly annoyed Kozue in his normal uniform.

“Excuse me,” Touga gave the men a winning smile as he put his arm across Miki’s shoulders, “you’re bothering my date.”

“Thank god,” Miki muttered as the disappointed men left.

Touga smiled down at him with a predatory look as he dangerously purred, “Don’t be too thankful yet, Miki.”

“Eh?” Miki paled.

“Kidding,” Touga laughed as he seemed to switch of his sexual energy with ease. Several yaoi fangirls sighed, disappointed there wouldn’t be a scene.

“I wish I could do that,” Saionji confessed with some reluctance.

“I don’t know how much more of this I can stand,” Utena muttered, shaking her head.

Anthy smiled as she offered Utena a white gloved hand, “I can hear the music starting... may I have this dance?”

Utena took it, curtseying as she said, “I’d be honored.”

As soft music played in the background Utena and Anthy swayed together, even as others hurried out to join them. Anthy lead with unusual skill, guiding Utena across the floor as she held the other woman tenderly close, her smile warmer than it usually was.

“You’re very good at this,” Utena murmured as she let Anthy guide her across the floor.

Anthy actually blushed a bit as she said, “Thank you.” She smiled slightly, “I practiced a while with Chu Chu.”

Utena chuckled, “Then thank Chu Chu for me.”

“And what do I get?” Anthy asked as she gently spun Utena around then drew her close.

Utena settled close, wrapping her arms around Anthy’s neck. “Ask me tonight,” she whispered in her ear.

A drum roll cut off any response the blushing Anthy could make as the lights dimmed and a spotlight shone. “Let us all welcome the master of ceremonies,” the young man’s voice boomed, “Akio Ohtori.”

“Oh my...” Miki breathed out in shock as he appeared.

Akio stepped out of the shadows dressed as DR. Frank-N-Furter of Rocky Horror Picture Show, including black leather corset and panties, overdone make up and a black haired wig. He looked eerily androgenous, as well as disturbingly handsome. :”Welcome all,” he smiled, “to the Halloween Ball!”

“I wonder if he chose this theme just so he could wear that?” Utena wondered aloud.

“I wouldn’t be surprised,” Anthy admitted. Silently she mused, ‘He’s growing more unstable since Utena slipped from his grip... what are we going to do if it gets worse?’

The End...?

Notes: Touga living at the dorm with Utena is a manga concept that amused me, while Juri-as-lesbian is a anime/movie concept. May expand on this later, maybe.
