Recap:
"You should get inside already. It's getting dark and I have to get to work."My eyes widen and I looked up only to meet his deep forest green eyes. I do not know why but I felt my face inching closer and closer to his face and then…
"Fakir…We need you inside its getting pack and Amu cannot take all these order all by herself." Ikuto came outside to stop me from what I was about to do and regret.
"Yeah I'm going..." Fakir let go of my waist and pulled my inside the café with him. Once inside he led me to the employee door that lead to my house. He opened the door, pushed me inside, and closed the door behind me, and as soon as he did…
~poof~
I turned into a duck.
End of recap:
*Early Morning*
O^O^^Ahiru's POV^^O^O
Birds were singing and people were knocking on my door. "Ahiru! Wake up it is time to go to school!" I curled into a ball under my covers. Only to groan in annoyance and sat up right I looked around and saw my room looking bright as ever. I gave out a sigh; I was off my bed gone straight to my bathroom and started to change into my school uniform. When I was just finishing tying my hair into a high ponytail, I hear a knock on the door.
"Yes?" I answered as I was fixing my bangs. "Ahiru you have someone waiting for you downstairs do you want me to bring him up." I gave out a sigh knowing very well who it was.
"No…I'll be down in a bit. Thank you Amu-chan."
"Alright then." I then heard her footsteps fade once I could not hear them I opened the door that leads to my bedroom and saw it empty. I went over towards my bed grabbed my bag and left my room. I was walking down the stair, when reaching the bottom of the stairs only to be greeted by Ikuto, Amu and Mytho. I was surprise to see it was not Fakir.
"Mytho…" He gave me a small smile while I returned one as well. I stood in front of him and he extended his hand for me to grab it. He then turned to face both Ikuto and Amu.
"Well I guess we will be going it was nice meeting you Mr. and Mrs. Tsukiyomi." Amu gave him a smile while Ikuto kept a stern face…He was always over protective with me for some reason… I waved them goodbye and left with Mytho. While we were walking I took noticed that Mytho was still holding onto my hand It made me blush a bit but not enough for it to show on my cheeks.
"Ah…Mytho…You can let go of my hand now…" He froze a bit when I said that nevertheless he let go of my hand ever so slowly.
"I'm sorry Ms. Ahiru." I gave giggled a bit then flashed him a smile. "Ahiru…" He turns to look at me with a confused look on his face.
"What…?" The smiled was still placed on my face. "Call me Ahiru." He smiled and gave a quick nod. While we were walking, we started to talk as if we were best friends, which we were when we were kids, however. That is not the case since he does not know that I am Princess Tutu. We were so caught up in our chat that we did not notice we had already arrived at the school gate.
"Well I guess I'll see you in class Mytho I have to go help out Ms. Moon get the class ready." He flashed me a small smile and nodded.
"Alright then Ahiru either way I have to go to the library…I'll see you." With that, we both parted ways and left without looking back well at least not me.
The Cruse to find True Love
Fakir's POV
I was inside the café putting everything in place. I was just placing the last chair on the floor next to their table. "Thanks Fakir I think that about does it you should get going school will start soon and you don't want to get in trouble with Angle now." I looked over towards the kitchen and saw Fujisaki Nagihiko; the cook of the café.
"Alright then I'll see you later Mr. Fujisaki…" I left towards the employee's door that leads to the Tsukiyomi household. I saw The Tsukiyomi couple at the down of the stairs talking to one another. I cleared my throat making them take notice of me.
"Oh Fakir…good morning." Mrs. Tsukiyomi said while flashing me a smile. "Good morning Mr. & Mrs. Tsukiyomi I came to pick up Ahiru." When I finished saying that, they were taken aback.
"Ah…Ahiru is not here anymore I thought that she let you know." Now I was taken aback at what Mr. Tsukiyomi said. She left…but with whom? "May I ask who picked her up?" Ikuto looked over Amu and she looked over at me.
"Mytho…" A soon as she said that my face became blank. "I see…Well I guess I should be head to school now thank you for your help Mr. & Mrs. Tsukiyomi. I'll see you after school." The couple wave me goodbye and I left pissed off towards school. I started to dial Ahiru's number however, she did not answer. Adding to my anger, I started to walk faster within minutes I reached the school gate. When I walked onto the school grounds, I looked around my surrounding and I spotted Mytho talking with some guys. I walked over towards where he was when I was in hearing range I hear them talking about Ahiru.
"Oh my god dude I saw you walking with that Ahiru girl are you guys dating or something?" One of the guys asked.
"No…Not yet…" I can hear the others just chuckling at the response Mytho gave them.
"So you like the chick huh." I can tell Mytho smiling at them.
"Yes I do." A soon as he said that my blood started to boil. I gritted my teeth and I just stormed out of their I did not want to hear the rest of their conversation. I did not know where I was going I just let my feet do the walking. By the time, I stopped walking I was in the backyard of the school where there was a glass greenhouse that looked to be well taken care of. What the hell? I walked inside only to be taken away by the sheer beauty this garden held inside. The place looked like someone royal would use it has a water fountain in the end of the entrance pass that there was what looked like a gazebo in the center of the whole garden. Surrounding that was bushes and fields of breath taking flowers. Rose, bellflowers, lavenders, daisy, daffodils, lilies, and so much more.
"Wow, this place is…" I had no words on how to describe this place. In fact, this place was that amazing that I totally forgot at what I was so angry about in the first place. I walked a bit further inside but when I did, I started to hear voices getting closer, and closer to the garden.
"….Tsukasa…is….stars…?" I could not make out the words but the rest of their conversation was clear once they came inside. It was the headmaster of the school and Mrs. Tsukiyomi. I saw the two walk over towards the gazebo and they started to talk.
"Now then to answer your question Amu-chan yes I did see they star move and it seems that our King and our lovely Queen are getting closer to each other, however it seems that the Jack is moving towards the Queen trying to get her attention." Tsukasa had laid three cards on the table. I lend in a little closer to see if I could see what the headmaster had place on the table however when I did I accidentally feel over where I was hiding making a thud.
"Ah! Fakir when…!" Both Mrs. Tsukiyomi and Mr. Tsukasa turn my way. In the end they let me hear their conversation since it somewhat involve me.
"Mr. Amakawa what are these cards for?" Ms. Amu gave me a small smile while the headmaster just gave me his usual smile.
"I guess you can say that it shows us who is in charge of the school. The queen –Ahiru Duck- The king – Fakir Knight- The jack – Mytho White- and finally the ace –Rue Raven-" Ms. Amu started to flail around as in trying to tell the headmaster to stop talking.
"Tsukasa! Is it really okay to tell him that?" The headmaster only smiled.
"It's fine he would have found out sooner or later from either one of us. In addition, so far he is doing a great job on hiding the fact that he knows Ahiru-chan's secret. Moreover in helping her break the cruse or am I wrong here Fakir-kun?" The headmaster looked over towards me while I tried to avoid eye contact with him. Earning me a chuckle from the man while Ms. Amu just sweat drop at what she was hearing.
"Ah? Ms. Amakawa what is this place called?" Both he and Ms. Amu gave each other a smile and Ms. Amu turn to answer me.
"This is called the Royal Garden when the 'Student council' come and have their meeting. However, they do not use it anymore not since my graduating class." I gave her a confused look.
"Why is that?" She showed me a small yet graceful smile.
"Well because it was time for a change this school was never a full time ballet school. It did offer ballet classes, however. Tsukasa came in and took over the school during that time he had just move into the town and well he was very qualified to be the headmaster of the school. Therefore, he took it his send word of this to us and we came to visit only to stay here since. Which I believe was the best thing that has ever happen if not then I having never had adopted such a beautiful niece."
"However, I do think that it is time to bring back 'The Guardians' back." Mr. Amakawa said
"The Guardians?" Ms. Amu smiled again.
"Back then we were never called the student council but the guardians" I nodded she then tilted her head to the side like a cat and put her index finger under her chin.
"Eh! Fakir-kun don't you have to get to class now?" My eyes widen when Ms. Amu said that. I quickly stood up from my chair and was about to start running towards my classroom that was until Mr. Amakawa stopped me.
"Fakir-kun wait…Here take this with you in case you do not make it in time to the class I am sure that Angel-chan will let you off the hook if you give her this." I took the card he was holding without even look at what the card was I just said 'thank you' and quickly left the Royal Garden.
xXxNormal POVxXx
"Tsukasa…do you really think that he will be the one to break the spell?" Amu asked while she watches Fakir run out the glass door of the Garden.
"Yes I do think he will not only will Ahiru-chan and Fakir get a happy ending but it seems that outs Ace is starting to make her move as well towards the Jack…I do believe it is time for the school to have 'The Guardian' back. However, I do think I will change some things around only the King and Queen can work together and the jack and Ace as well. For there you can add anything you want Amu-chan since you are going to be in charge of the Guardians." Amu turns to look at Tsukasa as if he was crazy.
"What? Your crazy I was just the joker back thing and I only did one thing and you know that the only person that I think is qualified to be in charge of this is Kairi. However, if we put him in charge he will just make them work even though he knows of Ahiru's cruse he will not give her any special treatment." Tsukasa nodded his head.
"Moreover, Ikuto is out of the question as well he is way over protective when it comes to Ahiru-chan. Rima would rather be in the café working with adults, I need Nagi in the kitchen, Yaya well was always bored with work here so I doubt her Ran, Miki, Su, Daiya always played with the rest of the others. The only other person I can think of is…" Amu said while drifting away and thinking of it a little bit more.
"Tadase-kun…" The two said in union.
Fakir's POV
I was still running towards the class I looked at my watch and saw that I had one second left I did not have a chance to make it and I am still not even half way there. Ms. Angel is going to scold me when I get there. I took my time this however not a lot I speed walked the rest of my way other to the classroom. When I got there, I opened the door only to be stopped by the devil herself. "FAKIR!" Shit
"How dare you come into my classroom when you know your ten minutes late to class? I gave you a warning last time that if you came late again that I would gave you pun-" However, before she had a change to finish what she was saying I lifted the card that Mr. Amakawa gave me to her face making her words stop coming out of her mouth. She took the card from my hands she said nothing but just stared at the card.
"I see…very well you are off the hook this time only because of what the headmaster gave to you to give to me." She turned the card around so that the picture it had could be facing me. What I saw surprise me and confuse me at the same time. On the card, that I had handed there was a joker.
"What? Do you want to get your punishment then since you look like you do not want to accept the headmaster's card?" I quickly shook my head.
"N-no that's not it I mean I'll accept it." She gave me a smile and told me to take a seat. With that, she started the class putting the playing card away.
"Now then, Tomorrow is the Halloween festival everyone and all of you have been working hard. It also seems that Ms. Raven has also been recovering from her accident here in class however; she is still unable to dance use the next week. In the mean time she will practice with us so she would fall behind." We all nodded.
"Now than I do not do this very often nevertheless I think it is time for a change. I will be changing the way you all sit." Ms. Angel said with a sweet smile but everyone back away from her everyone expect Rue, Mytho, and myself.
"Ahiru-chan you will be staying where you are like always, however." Everyone started to whisper when she said that. 'Ahiru-chan is so lucky!', 'Wait, she said however', 'Could it be that…' That is what everyone in the class was said but the three of us.
"You will have someone else with you. Just not now okay then." Ahiru nodded and she stayed seated. Ms. Angel then went on with the rest of the class she changed everyone even Mytho, Rue, and myself. Mytho was in the front row Rue was behind him. I was in the first row way at the end near Ahiru.
"Now then these are going to be your new seats until the end of the year, now time for practice." Everyone got up and started to do their stretches Ahiru on the other hand went over towards Ms. Angel and started to whisper to each other, however. I was not able to hear what they were talking about since it was a low whisper.
xXxNormal POVxXx
"What? Really he's planning on reforming the guardians." Ahiru asked while Angel nodded. Angel was standing straight with her arms crossed over her body with her left hand holding onto the joker card.
"He even had Fakir bring this to me as an excuse. You know every well of this schools pass and what its meaning was back then. Now everything has changed and this is our world now. So there will only be four openings once again." Angel was looking forward however; she side glanced over towards Ahiru.
"You know that he has a position for you as well since I know what he is basing it on." Ahiru bit her bottom lip and nodded.
"Yes I know, and I'm guessing that is why you are changing us seats. Also the people that are to be sitting next to me are our latest new students…" Angel then switched her gazes towards the class and nodded slowly.
"That is correct I am pretty sure this has something to with your cruse Ahiru." Angel said with a serious voice. Ahiru on the other hand closed her eyes and nodded.
"Yes I know…but…there is nothing I can do about it but go with it. I do want this curse off me already." Angel did not take her eyes off her students practicing.
"So you intend to blind yourself in the false love that you think you have with the person you like…Knowing very well that even if doing that the cures will not be lifted without pure love…" Without going unnoticed, Angel saw Ahiru's jaw tighten and her hands turned into a tight fist. Ahiru had nothing to say towards that.
"You should go and practices your dance for tomorrow. Make sure you put on your jewel before you come to school. You know that no one from the café will be able to bring it once you are in school and we would have to call the jewel keeper." Ahiru nodded and left towards the back of the class. She danced and danced no one interrupting her, however. Three was one that did have the guts to go up to her and was just seconds away from speaking to her until Angel stopped him by grabbing his right shoulder.
"Mytho do not disturb Ahiru when she is practicing she will lose sight on her goal and fall to the ground…" She said in a stern voice that he had not heard since he came into this class.
"Yes I am sorry Ms. Angel…" He went over towards Fakir and Rue and started to practice with them. The bell soon rang signaling to everyone that it was time for lunch. Ahiru stayed behind with Angel.
"Angel-chan what if I do forget my pendent do we do not even know where jewel keeper is at." Angel took out a bento from her bag and a pair of chopsticks.
"Do you not remember that we do not look for her…she looks for us when that time comes and now is not the time since you have yet to lose your pendent?" Ahiru placed her hand on the base of her neck.
"Right…I remember…" Finishing saying that Ahiru left towards the rooftop when getting to the rooftop she stood at the edge of the roof looking over the whole school ground a gust of winds blew by making her loose hairs sway with it. While the wind was still blowing a piano started to play somewhere in the school. Ahiru looked around only to find the source coming from the Royal Garden. Tsukasa must have placed a piano in the garden…but who is in there no one knows about the Royal Garden. It was a peaceful yet there was something about the song that had some sorrow in it.
Ai ga areba heiwa dato
Dareka ga kuchi ni shiteita
Unazuku hitomo ireba
Utagau hito mo iru
Ahiru stared towards the garden the wind blowing the notes into her ears she then felt something wet slide down her cheek not know what she was doing moving her own hand towards her face only to feel a wet sensation. She was crying after trying to hold them back that was why she came up here to stop herself.
Kurushimi ga arukara koso
Anata wo dakishimeru toki
Sono ude no yasashisawo
Heiwa to kanjiru-n desho
However, Ahiru did not even try to wipe the ears away from her eyes instead, she just stayed in place and kept listening to the song that was being played and sung. She felt as if her body was being consumed by sadness to her sadness is pain. Soon a pair of arms warped themselves around Ahiru's body. Her body stiffen just for a few seconds then it relaxed itself for some reason while this person was holding her closely to their body she felt peace within those warm arms.
Aru toki kara
Mukushi ni nari
Kokoro wo shimekiri
Kono koi ga
Hikisakare-sou ni natta
Coro:
Kasaneta kono te wo
kondo wa hanasanai
shinjiru chikara wa
ai wo jiyuu ni suru

The song ended and throughout the whole song Ahiru did not even once turn to look at who the person was she just stayed caged in into the embrace never wanting to leave. She felt at peace and during that peace things started to run around her head. The bell the rung singling all the students that lunch was over however, before the bell finished ringing the intercom interrupted. "All students please report to the auditorium for a student body meeting, I repeat all students please report for a student body meeting." Ahiru gave out a sigh and tried to free herself from the embrace to no avail. Every time she tried to free herself, the embrace got tighter and tighter making it harder for her to move. Right there and they she decided she had enough and she looked up to the person's face only for her ocean blue eyes to meet forest green color eyes. Ahiru was just about to push herself away from the person but then she remembered that she was standing on the edge meaning her could fall to her dead and she definitely did not want that to happen she then composed her face. "Let go Fakir I have to get to the auditorium if not then they will call for us in the intercom." He released his hold on Ahiru even though he did not want to and she pushed him aside and started to walk towards the double door, however. Before she had the change to take another step forward Fakir stopped her by grabbing her wrist. She looked over her shoulder and gave him a cold glare.
"Let go of me…" Even with the glare Fakir was not affected by it he kept his grip and Ahiru saw that he had no intentions of letting her go anytime soon she tried to get herself free and again to no avail. Next thing Ahiru knew was that she was being dragged off the rooftop and walking off towards the auditorium.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing? Let me go!" Ahiru shouted while trying to get out of Fakir's grip failing miserably. The two got to the auditorium within ten minutes and when Fakir opened the doors that led them inside they saw that all of the students in the whole school were already seated and facing the two only students that were not.
"Ms. Duck, Mr. Knight it is nice of you to join us please take a seat up front with Mr. White and Ms. Raven." Tsukasa said Ahiru nodded and tried to shake Fakir's hands off her wrist only to fail once again. Instead, he pulled her towards the front. When they got to the front the two seats next to each other Mytho was glaring at Fakir while Rue was glaring at Ahiru. Soon Tsukasa cleared his throat and started to meeting.
"Well today's meeting is about establishing once again the student council or better yet known as 'The Guardian's'." When hearing this the whole room started to filled with chatter.
"HEY BE QUIET!" Some shouted without using the microphone. The students shut their months at hearing that and looked up front only to see a pink-headed young woman known as Hinamori Amu.
"Thank you Amu-chan…Well then as I was saying 'The Guardian's' will be run by Hotari Tadase the last former King chair." Tadase walked up on stage he walked up front of the microphone.
"Thank you Mr. Tsukasa. Now then I will like to introduce your new guardian's the kings chair –Fakir Knight- the queens chair –Ahiru Duck- the jacks chair –Mytho White- and finally the ace chair –Rue Raven-" When Tadase finished saying that Te four people that were called out stood up in a rush with a shocked expression.
"WHAT?" The four of them shouted in union.
Angel-chan: Well there you go everyone sorry it took me so long.
Fakir: I do not like it
Angel-chan: You do not like it because I did not add as much moments with you and Ahiru-chan
Fakir: *turns away with a blush on his face* No
Ahiru: It's a nice chapter
Angel-chan: Thank you Ahiru
Amu: Well then please R&R everyone
Angel-chan: See you all soon bye
