Oh my gosh...Guys...HI! I'm back! And with CHAPTER 12! I feel horrible because I am JUST NOW SUBMITTING IT! I...AM...TRULY...SORRY...FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! Let me just say...Sophomore year...of high school..i hate it...I had 6 hours of homework each day...not joking...I'm almost done though! As you read this now I have only 2 more weeks (The last week is finals) of being one and then I AM A JUNIOR! Took me long enough! Well anyways! How is everyone! i hope good and not mad! I tried my best to get this typed! I hope you enjoy it! I know it's probably not going to be good...But I hope you at least enjoy it!

Princess Tutu doesn't belong to me..Cause if it did...It would have ended SO much better...


Chirp, Chirp. From the window the light of the morning sun came shining in. Ahiru, asleep, squirmed in her bed. "What are you doing! I'm cooking for her!" Shouts were coming from the kitchen. She opened her eyes and sat straight in bed. "Oh please, you're a man! Men can't cook!" Ahiru got out of her bed and went downstairs to see what was going on. "Guys...Honestly...Cut it out! You're going to wake Ahiru up! Besides..." Ahiru opened the door to the kitchen lightly so the three of them couldn't see her. "I am the best one here...So I'll do it." Kaoru swiped the pots and spoons away from Nanka and Fakir's hands and walked to the stoves. All of a sudden Fakir and Nanka both go in an uproar! "I love her the most! And she loves me! I need to do it!" "Psh! Please! I'll do it! I need to show her my gratitude!" "You aren't the only one that loves her Fakir!" The door creaks open and there, standing in the middle is Ahiru. "Ahiru!" Kaoru puts the pots down. "Did we wake you?" She smiles at them all. "I'm fine. How about I cook? You guys can set the table." And they do, together.

"So...How are we going to find Drosselmeyer?" It was a question that no one wanted to ask. "Well, knowing him, he probably already moved from the place he was at before." Ahiru put down her fork. "Well, we need to try. We have to start somewhere, right?" She looked at Nanka. "Is there anything that you do know that can give us a clue?" She thought about it for a couple of minutes. "Well...All he talked about where story this, story that, characters, scenes...Things that make up a story. I'm not sure...Every time I think about his...My mind goes blank..." Nanka felt useless. "It's alright Nanka!" Ahiru then turned her head and looked at Fakir. "Fakir...What would you do if you were him?" He looked surprised at the question. "Why are you asking me?" "You are a descendent of him, are you not? His protégée. You have his blood, and, maybe also his mind. So, I'll ask you again, and think about it, what would you do if the people who are trying to find you have the one resource that could have led them to you?"

Fakir was silent, contemplating on the question. "Well...I would have to have a back-up plant of course...But in this case, back-up characters. You know, just in case one of my characters did change their alliance." "Wait! Actually...Drosselmeyer did talk about another character besides Kaoru and Dover! A boy...Or something..." Nanka grabbed her head. "Damn! It's like all my memories of the times I was with him are all being erased! I can't remember anything!" Ahiru out her hand around Nanka's shoulders. "It's ok...Really. You've helped as much as you can, and hey. This might be good for you. To forget things and become someone new." Nanka smiled at her. "Alright...So that's a start! We're now searching for a boy...Who...Might know...Drosselmeyer?" A gloom cloud fell over the table. This is going to be harder than I thought...Alsafer? What about you? Any ideas? "None...but I might be able to help you find this boy." Alright.

Outside the window the noise of the tower clock rang through the streets. 7 A.M. "Let's get to school and we can talk more later." Everyone got up from the table and went to change. "Nanka! You'll be enrolling today, so...Be on your best behavior." Kaoru stuck his tongue out at her and went to change. "Ha ha, very funny cat boy." She was the least bit amused.

Walking to school felt so calm and relaxing. It felt like it had been forever since they felt like this. They walked along the street with Nanka and Kaoru, both of them arguing about something, but neither Ahiru nor Fakir heard what they were shouting about. They were in there own little worlds, together. Slowly, Fakir slid his hand into Ahiru's who gladly accepted the strong, smooth and familiar touch of the man that had been with her through so much. She blushed and he quietly laughed. "You know we're right here, right?" Kaoru and Nanka both had stopped in the middle of the street, arms folded. "I haven't given up Fakir!" Kaoru, stared at Fakir, neither of them moving. "Are they always like this Ahiru?" She nodded to Nanka. "Oh you poor thing!" She grabbed Ahiru and hugged her. "Don't worry! I'm better than both of these men combined!" Fakir turned to Nanka, fury and jealousy building up in his eyes. Ahiru shook herself out of Nanka's grip and stumbled towards Fakir. "I think...I'm going to stick with this one guys." She went on her tip toes and kissed Fakir on his cheek. "Now come on! Otherwise we're going to be late!" She started to run, only to clash with someone.

"I'm so sorry! Are you al-" There, on the floor was a boy, a very handsome one. Oh...wow... "No...That was my bad. Are you alright?" He turned his head towards her. His hair was black as the night sky and to his shoulders. His eyes made her feel like she was swimming in the ocean, shining bright with the brightness of the sun. "Miss?" His voice, something about it gave her a chill, but...not a bad one. "Ahiru?" Fakir was right behind her. The boy got up and put his hand out to her. She grabbed it, hesitant at first, but eventually took it. "Sorry, yes I'm fine." He smiled to her. "I'm glad. I wouldn't want someone as beautiful as you to get hurt." Ahiru blushed a deep red. She lowered her gaze and nodded. "Well miss, I must get going. Till we meet again." He grabbed her hand and gave it a kiss and walked off. "Well well well...Who was that!" Kaoru looked at Nanka. "Aren't you...To Ahiru?" "Come on! I'm a girl as well! Just because I like Ahiru doesn't mean I don't like men!"

"Come on guys, otherwise we're going to be late." Fakir looked to Ahiru who looked back at him. She smiled a weary smile and began forward again.

"Looks like he finally made contact with her! This is going to a very interesting story now!" The man walked along the geared bridge. He twirled in a circle, smiling a wide devilish smile. "I wonder what the boy plans to do! Ha! Knowing him, something quite interesting indeed..."
