Chapter 1

Title: movie1

[Author's notes:

This is a songfic in which Utena sings a song to Anthy while they are escaping in the movie. Same time Utena reflects her feelings about the past and present with Anthy in a monologue kind of way.

I do not own Revolutionary girl Utena or the song 'Shot', I'm just borrowing them in this non profital work. The song in this fic is 'Shot' written and performed by the Rasmus. It can be found in their cd 'Hide from the sun'. Utena belongs to Chico Saito/J.C.STAFF studio. This is my first songfic, so please r&r!

''Tonight we escape, just you and me. We'll find our peace, somewhere across the seas. 

Enough of the fright, enough of the fuss. I'll be awake if he finds us.''  

 

I can't believe we're really doing this, but in the same time I'm so glad that we are doing this. Nothing can stop us now. Our love for each other gave us the wings to fly to freedom and nothing stands in our way as long as we have each other. We don't know what future holds for us but I'm sure it is much better than what we had in Ohtori academy. You don't have to pretend anymore, you don't have to be afraid anymore. You are now as free as birds in the sky and I will make sure nothing takes that freedom away ever again.

 I never imagined we would have to escape like this. But then considering all that happened, it was the only way. They just wouldn't let us go, especially you. But without you, any of this wouldn't be possible. I wouldn't have been able to do this on my own. I wouldn't have wanted to do this on my own. You gave me a reason to live. You gave my live a purpose. I was lost for so long, now I can see my path again. Our path. It is a path were no intruders are allowed.  

 

''Needless to say, I'll stand in your way. I will protect you and I'll... 

I'll take the shot, for you. I'll be the shield for you. Needless to say I'll stand in your way. 

I'll take the shot, for you. I'll give my life for you. I'll make it stop, I' ll take the shot for you.''  

 

The moment I saw you on top of that building I knew I wanted to protect you. There was just something so special about you. You melted something inside me that I didn't know I had anymore.   

When I saw that man hurting you I felt so angry. Never before in my life had I felt so angry. It didn't matter to me that I didn't even have a sword then -I would have taken him down with my bare hands if needed. But then you defied your fate and approved me to be your protector and granted me a sword. I knew I would defend you even if it meant losing my life. I fought every duel knowing if I lost it, it would mean slavery or worse to you. You gave me strength even when I wasn't sure of myself or when I was totally lost. If I were given a second change, I wouldn't change a thing.  

Sword itself can't change anything, but the person who wields it can. If the person's purposes are tainted or selfish, then it can only bring misery. But just as a sword has two edges, it can be used in two ways. I used my blade to defend and I don't regret it for a moment. I believe that words are mightier than swords in the end, but if you were threatened ever again I wouldn't hesitate a second to raise my sword to defend you. I really would give my life for you. 

 

 ''Tonight we'll be free, I'll find us a home. Tonight we will be, finally on our own.  

Enough of the hell, enough of the pain. I won't let him touch you, I love you.'' 

 

 I don't know what waits us in the real world. No one knows. But I'm sure we will find our place in this world. We can forge our own destinies. I know that as long as you are by my side, I can do anything. The world is right in front of us, now we just have to live the life that was denied from us before.  

I can't even imagine what you have been through in the hands of your supposed grooms. And in the hands of your own brother. I can not find the words to express how happy I am for your freedom -and for my own as well. We went through hell and now we are on our way to heaven. Never again shall Akio nor anyone else lay a hand on you against your will. You have my word, you have my sword.

 It's a promise which I seal with a kiss. Your lips are so soft. Your taste is so sweet. I can not understand how anyone would want to hurt you. You seem so fragile but extremely strong in the same time. Now you are with me and I give myself to you fully like you give yourself to me. I love you,  these are the only words that can ever even try to express my feelings for you. I'm forever yours, Anthy. 

 

 ''Needless to say, I'll stand in your way. I will protect you and I'll... 

I'll take the shot, for you. I'll be the shield for you. Needless to say I'll stand in your way. 

I'll take the shot, for you. I'll give my life for you. I'll make it stop, I' ll take the shot for you.'' 

 

 Yeah, that is what I will do.
