Hello all, another chapter of Kinkan Garden. I know it's been a while (I think about 2 months?). Anyhoo, on with this latest chapter!

And remember, as I've stated before, I own nothing, for Princess Tutu belongs in the head of Ikuko Itoh, and forgive me for any errors. (I suck at proof reading, as my teachers tell me every so often).

20/04/13 update: Sorry for the grammar errors and that, for some reason, I ended up making Mytho kiss himself through spelling errors and that I officially can't proof read for toffee. From now on, both me and my sister (another fanfic author) will be proof reading my stuff, so don't sorry.

Chapter 14 – evil incarnate

Lillie P.O.V

Dear diary

Oh. My. Goodness. Today has been a really weird and absolutely dramatic day. It was great!

Autor had use in the theatre hall doing even more rehearsals for the production. I love all this stage drama. But today was a little… off. Maybe a bit too much drama was stirring around the atmosphere. And little Ahiru. He's so darling and cute and charming. He could be a real prince like Eric too! Now that would be cool. I keep on thinking I recognise the mark he has on his cheek from somewhere, but I must be mistaken. I'm pretty sure I'd remember such a distinctive thing as a wing on someone's face.

Anyway diary, like I said, major dramatic day. Rehearsals had been going fine all day. We really focused on the penultimate scene with Rue, Mytho, Fakir and Ahiru. Lots of talk about love. Now, as you know diary, I've mentioned Prince Femio before and his annoying antics. But today he took the cake with his usual flurry of roses.

Our darling Ahiru-kun was being absolutely adorable as always when Femio started saying some utterly strange things to him. Something about always watching him, and I think he mentioned making Ahiru his?! Now this isn't where the drama ended. Nope, Fakir jumped back onto the stage and almost drew his sword at Femio! Well, it was a fake wooden sword used as a prop, but still! And the most bizarre thing ever was that I could have sworn on my life as an actress that Femio's eyes glowed red. Only for a second though, but still all dramatic and sinister like. Creepy if you ask me diary.

Anyway, life with Eric is going good. He even kissed me today when he walked me back to the dorm. He's such a gentleman. I mean, a prince. Oh diary, life is great. There's no way anything could wrong.

Hope to write again after tomorrow's private rehearsal for the mass wedding scene. Not that me and Eric need any practice for the kiss now.

Mytho P.O.V

"Femio is being even more aggressive and weird with Ahiru than ever. Lucky that Ahiru has Fakir on his side. I'd never think that those two would become such good friends. I mean, Fakir and I will always be the greatest of friends, but I think he has a special bond with Ahiru."

"Mytho, what's got you in such a thoughtful mood?"

I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Rue's voice by my ear. I looked down next to me and saw that she'd placed her head on my shoulder. I love it when she does that. I know she's safe that way, and I know she's content as well. She really does deserve to be loved after all that she has been through with her father in the past.

But something hasn't seemed right for the past couple of months. Ever since that massive storm a while back, my lovely Rue has been a little distant. I can tell she's been crying at night after I walk her to the girl's dorm, but I can't figure out what has caused my beauty to become so depressed.

"I was thinking about Femio. Does he have something against Ahiru?"

"I don't know Mytho. But he's been creeping me out these past few weeks." Rue replied.

Rue snuggled deeper into my shoulder and I sighed in content. She giggled at me, as she always does whenever we're like this. The clouds turned slate grey and the rain poured down on us.

"The one day we forget an umbrella."

We ran back to the girl's dorm and we stood in the doorway. I smiled at the sight in front of me. Rue, with her soaking wet burgundy hair and gleaming red eyes, looked like a vision of uttermost beauty to me. I leant down and kissed her lightly. I could feel her lean into my kiss.

"I love you." she whispered to me once she broke away from me.

"I love you too. Now, I think you better get inside before you fall ill. I can't have me dear Phebe falling ill, now can I."

As I walked across the courtyard to my dorm, I thought I saw something move behind the building.

"I must be tired from these rehearsals. I think I ear my bed calling me."

Behind the boy's dormitory, a shadow bowed before a tall dark figure.

"My King." The shadow said to the figure.

"Ah, my agent. How have you been progressing your mission?"

"Very well, my King."

"Excellent. And what of my daughter, any news?"

"She still hangs around the royals and that Mytho boy."

"Good. It will teach her a deserved lesson when I conquer Shiratori no Taki."

"And I will still get the girl, as you promised?"

"All your deepest desires shall be granted my child."

"Thank you, my King."

"Good. Keep up you work Femio."

With that, King Akui melted into the shadows, the wind shifting a flurry of black feathers. The prince of Rosario smirked at the king's antics.

"Not as fashionable or stylish as rose petals."

Femio walked around the building and went back to his room. He opened a drawer in his rose coloured desk and lovingly caressed a picture of Ahiru.

"You shall be mine, Ahiru. Very soon, you shall be all mine, my little duck."

Outside, the rain continued to fall in large droplets, splashing against the pavement, turning the stone into a pathway of silver. Back in the castle where the royal family of Shiratori no Taki resided, The King and Queen yet again looked out over their balcony, over their kingdom.

"Do think our children are doing well? Do you think Eric found her?"

"Odette, my dear, our children will be fine. I'm sure that Eric has found her and that they are both safe."

"How can be sure of that, Siegfried? It's our son and daughter we are talking about!"

"Odette, did you read the note that Eric left with Brom?"

Queen Odette stared at her husband for a moment in shock. Then she slapped him lightly on the arm.

"Why did you not tell me of this note? Where is Brom? Where's the note?"

King Siegfried chuckled at his wife.

"She's such a worrier sometimes."

"In my desk, dear."

Queen Odette found the note, reading it over and over until finally putting down on her lap. She ran back over to her beloved husband and into his arms.

"She's safe! Our darling Ahiru is safe and sound. Oh how did I not figure it out form her note?"

The sovereigns of Shiratori no Taki were calm at last, for their children were safe in one of the Queen's havens. Queen Odette picked up the note once again and chuckled to herself.

"Oh Eric, I'm glad you remembered."

On the note that Brom had delivered to King Siegfried were her only son's – the Crown Prince's – words of reassurance to his mother and father.

Momma and Father, I figured out where Ahiru is from her note. Momma, she will be safe in your old haven. She's in your old hometown of Kinkan at Kinkan Academy, just like you told us about in Ahiru's ballet lessons. I've enrolled in the academy to find her and make sure she's okay. I'll see who this "love" of hers too. I will bring her back safe. Your son, Eric.

A/N: Taa Daa! There you go my lovely readers. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Duh Duh Duh! Yes, Femio is Akui's new agent, and I congratulate all of you who spotted it and even told me not give Ahiru to our evil flower boy. Now, I won't say what will happen. Femio may or may not get our Ahiru, but you shall have to wait and see now won't you.

20/04/13 update: So sorry for the bad grammar and such, and I promise that it will happen less often from now on in all my fanfics.

Please leave a lovely review and please be patient. the next chapter will be up within the month.

love Frannychan xx :)
