Chapter 10: Sudden disappearance
Ahiru crept slowly out of the living room and into the kitchen. When she pass Fakir's room, she took a peek on how's Uzura doing; finding her sleeping in the bed, the duck smiled and went out to make some hot cocoa.
The duck slip to one of the chairs in the kitchen as she patiently waited for the tea kettle to whistle; she sighs while her thoughts began to wander through the night.
'So we weren't able to find anything more about it last night' she thought as she remembered what happened earlier.
It was only two o'clock in the morning when she opened her eyes, it's too early she thought, but no matter how hard she tried to fall back to sleep, nothing seems to happened. In defeat she opened her eyes and began to scan everything around her.
She saw the prince and rue sleeping peacefully on the couch where the little Uzura used to sleep. Prince Mytho is slipping on Rue's lap who doesn't really mind at all according to their expressions. Meanwhile Fakir also fell asleep in his favorite chair. Only when sleeping does Ahiru finds Fakir's gentle face because whenever he is awake, he is always so grumpy, sad , and so stubborn.
Ahiru with her bad habit in loosing to her thoughts didn't even realized the young man pass her to turn off the stove. The young man smelling the hot cocoa on the tea pot took two cups from the cabinet and pours some on it before handing the other cup to her.
"Oh thank you" she dumbly said when she realized who the young man was "FAKIR!" she exclaimed
"Sshhh… you're going to wake those two with your voice" Fakir said while slipping himself to one of the chairs then drinking his own cup.
"But I thought you are still sleeping" Ahiru ask
"I was when an annoying kettle kept making noise all the way to the living room" he said sarcastically to her
Ahiru lowered her head "Gommen"
"…"
"… so how about you, can't sleep?" he ask not looking at her, just concentrating on his cocoa
"Un" she nods "I tried, but I just can't fall to another sleep" then the two fell to another silence when they heard the door bang "Is Uzura awake now?" she asked then a scream echoed in the house and someone shouting
"IT'S RUE!" Fakir and Ahiru chorus and dash out of the kitchen.
The knight and the Princess Ballerina were startled to find the whole living room in a mess. Rue on the floor, unconscious; Ahiru immediately run towards Princess Rue to help her
"T-the Prince… help him… Ahiru" Rue said before completely passing out
"Hey you, let go of him!" Fakir and Ahiru were surprised when they heard the little drummer girl's voice
"UZURA!" Fakir shouted, getting ready to fight the strange boy who is carrying the unconscious Mytho in his arms
"Let go of me you brat!" the young man ordered but Uzura was too stubborn and the young man decided to swing his feet harshly to make her fell off.
'He dance so beautiful' Ahiru thought
"UZURA! How dare you hurt her?" Fakir said angrily and dash towards him only to be blown away by his familiar aura
'The dark ravens aura' Ahiru said surprised as he look at the young man in front of her
"Tell me who are you? Are you one of the followers of the dark raven?" Ahiru ask bravely; the young man look at her
"My name is Roh, and no I do not work to him. Soon Princess Tutu you will know as the wheel of faith continues to prey" Then the young man vanish into thin air taking the prince with him "Come to the place where time stops and you the true master will greet you there"
"no, MYTHO!"
"I don't feel like going to school today" Ahiru said depressingly
"We have no choice; we have to act natural as much as possible to avoid other incidents. Besides I think Kai know something about this" Fakir said
The Rue suddenly stood up and went out of the house, Ahiru followed her
"Hey Rue, where are you going?" She ask, the princess look back at her, smiling
"Back to our dormitory of course; I can't go to school without taking a bath you know. See you in school okay" and then she took off
"I see…" Ahiru said then went inside the house again
"So where is she going?" Fakir asks placing the ice bag on top of Uzura's head.
"She said she'll go back to the dormitory to prepare herself to school" she replied seating back to the couch
"So she's going to school then" Fakir then look at Uzura "How's you bump, does it still hurt?"
Uzura shook her head, Fakir smiled
"It's still swollen but you'll live" Fakir said before handing her the bag to let her continue what he has started
"Okay"
"So I guess we better prepare ourselves too" Fakir then went to his room to take his things and off to the bathroom
"Yeah" Ahiru agrees
In their Ballet building, the day passes as if nothing is happening. Everything is normal, Mr. Cat proposing to every dancer that are committing mistakes, Lielie and Pike as usual teasing the young duck who is always so naive around them and other usual extraordinary that always occur around that school.
"Rue didn't come to school today" Ahiru said while walking besides the knight
"…"
"I wonder what happened to her." Ahiru then look at the tall building she used to stay last year. "I hope she didn't…"
"She didn't because she is smart although there are times that she is stupid" Fakir said assuring her to drop it
"D-demo" The knight sighs and turned around "Fakir?" Ahiru ask him with curiosity
"If you're so worry about her, fine let's go check on her" he said flatly. Ahiru nods with excitement and followed the young knight to the girl's dormitory.
In the whole way, the made their way not thinking what surprises may occur to their destination
"It was only this year that they made a coed dormitory isn't?" Ahiru ask while observing the hall way
"They did this for the Prince and Princess sake while studying here" he explained.
Finally, they have arrived. The front door seems to be normal and they sense no danger so they knock on the door, but no one answered or open the door for them
"That's strange, is she taking a bath or something?" Ahiru ask then was surprised to see the door was unlock when she turn the knob.
Fakir and Ahiru were both surprised to see the room. Everything is scattered, broken lamp, crash chandelier, torn curtains the room was pretty dark since.
"What happened here? It's like a bid tornado or a bunch of raven just made a fight here" Fakir commented when the idea both heat them
"RUE!" they coed. And the two immediately search for her
"No good, she's not in the bathroom or in other rooms to chitchat" Ahiru reported while trying to catch her breath since she has been running for a while now.
"I don't think she is here anymore" Fakir said while examining a piece of paper on the ground
"Well that's what I said didn't I?" Ahiru walks towards her
"No, what I mean is" Fakir stood up from kneeling and showed her what he had found out "Some one took her by force".
Meanwhile in the boys dormitory,
"What do you want?" The young man ask impolitely to his new arrived guest
"You're mean. How can you say that to your partner? Won't you ask me some cookies or any snacks to fill my hungry stomach?" The young man then walks towards his bed and sit down.
"For you Roh? I don't think I have one" he said walking out of the room and to his veranda. His gaze went to the lighted room of the coed dormitory, the room where the prince and the princess resides
"Eh, then I guess I wont give you the latest information either" Roh said teasing him
Kai look back at him "What are you talking about?"
"No cookies, no info" he stubbornly said while playing with his long golden hair
"ROH!" he yells at him
"Right, right… I'm just joking. Geez" Roh said startled by the sudden rise of his partner's voice "The master, it changes his mind and ordered me to take actions on it"
Kai was so surprise he immediately walks towards him
"What did you say? What do you mean he ordered you to take actions on it?" Kai said grabbing his shoulder
Roh smirking pushed his hands away and smoothed his attire
"It means what I said" then Roh walks to the veranda looking at the same room "The master grew impatient of you and wanted me to take actions on it"
And then Roh jumps off the veranda; Kai is shock, immediately follow his direction. He saw Roh transform to his evil raven attire and grew wings on his arms and flew away
"The master did that?" was all Kai could think as it echoed repeatedly in his mind "I guess you should be careful about it now, Princess Tutu"
