Assorted Revolutionary Girl Utena drabbles by sarahtheboring - Anthy and Akio-related
"Repetition"
No one knows what kind of marks Himemiya-san gets. She takes notes in small, elegant handwriting, and answers correctly when called upon. But she never raises her hand. She always knows what chapter the class is on and what the lessons are about. She can recite these things to the other students with the same placid amiability. Yet no one sees her study, when they see her around the campus. Perhaps she does it all at home. Or she has a photographic memory.
Other students envy this, when they put these pieces together. Some people are just lucky that way.

"Postmortem"
"I never touched him, you know."
Starched white cloth slips over her skin. There's not a fold out of place now. She ignores the challenging tone of his voice. "I know."
"I let you have him."
"He hated you," she says, as if remarking on the punctuality of trains. The rest she simply doesn't say.
It's no good looking at her. The ceiling is far away; there are no stars. "The kendo captain..."
She almost turns, then retrieves her glasses. "He likes handcuffs," she says. Lovely weather we're having.
And then he knows. He smiles, but she doesn't see it.

"Notes"
Final entry: Tenjou Utena
Another failure. For a moment things went badly, but she failed in the end. Slow start, promising sword. Try another girl next time? That went more easily than expected.
There may be little use left in this Council, as well. Can't keep them forever, after all; too much hassle. Touga was serviceable. Failed in the end, though. Tenjou's influence. It's sad, in a way, such a waste.
Of course, this is merely another chapter. We haven't lost anything other than time and a few students, and we have plenty of both. As long as I have
Notes:
"Repetition": It occurred to me that Anthy has been in the same grade for a great many years.
"Postmortem" is set between Black Rose and Apocalypse, but it's really vague. Sorry.
"Notes" is supposed to end that way.
