Re-cap:

F-Fakir?" She looked around at what her eyes were allowing her to see. It took her a few seconds to finally see Fakir. He walked towards her as he picked her up bridal style.

"Do you really think I'm going to just sit there and watch as the girl I love get killed?" Ahiru looks up at Fakir's face with unshed tears.

"But you can't fight her she's too strong even for you."

"I can't just let you die like this." Fakir said as he creased her cheek. Tears were flowing down her face but he smile never left her lips.

"It's just not time for me to break the cruse just yet," Ahiru lifted her arm to crease Fakir's face. "But we will meet again it's within our fates." Fakir places his hand on top of hers as she kept her hand upon his cheek.

"I love you Ahiru." Ahiru softly smiles.

"And I love you too Fakir."

End of Re-cap

Everything happened so fast; Fakir leaned in closer to Ahiru –like a moth attracted to a flame- There lips were just a breath away from contact but Ahiru didn't push him away. She wasn't going to run away…not anymore. She was tired of running and hiding from everything –even herself. If I'm going to die then let it be in the arms of the one I love, she thought as she felt his lips softly brush against hers. It was so tender like a feather that it left Fakir wanting more of her. He kissed her again only this time it was more passionate and yet desperate. His mouth was so hot and eager on her; Ahiru gasped for air and Fakir took that chance to slide his tongue inside of her mouth, exploring her, tasting her until finally Ahiru breaks away as she tries to catch her breath.

Not wasting time Fakir fully wrapped his arms around her weak body embracing her as he buried his face in the nape of her neck; tears cascaded down his cheeks as soon as his face was hidden for her ocean blue eyes. Fakir's eyes were shut tight that he did not notice the soft light that was consuming both Ahiru and himself. "Fakir…" Spoke out a soft tender voice. Fakir's body froze as heard the tender voice. Slowly he lifted his head to see who had called him. His eyes widen when he saw a women standing before him; she looked so similar to Ahiru but with features much more mature. She wore a dress that was similar to a swimsuit yet was extended to a dress with an opening in the middle; a crown veil decorated her head as her hair fell gracefully down her back –it was a shade lighter than Ahiru that faded to white like feathers. Her eyes were like a tranquil ocean sea that slightly glowed; a soft smile graced her lips.

"Wh-who are you?" Fakir asked.

"I am the first Princess Tutu –Ayami Duck," she said as she walked closer towards Fakir and Ahiru. "You, Fakir are the first of all the men of my dear children to lift the curse. Despite knowing that my dear child –Ahiru- was cursed to live not only as a human girl but a little yellow duck your love for her never wavered it simply grew more." Princess Ayami walked forward until she was standing in front of the couple. She slowly kneeled down until she was at the same eye level as Fakir. Princess Ayami smiled tenderly down at the unconscious girl –resting safely in the Knight's arms.

"My dear child it is not yet your time to leave," She softly whispered as she gently started to stroke Ahiru's cheek. "Not when you finally found your one true love." Princess Ayami leaned over and placed a tender kiss upon Ahiru's forehead; Fakir had no choice but to witness what was happening before him.

"Wh-What are you doing?"

"I'm rewriting your tragic fate," she answered as she began to stroke Ahiru's feathered hair. "I have bestowed Ahiru with power that is far greater then Princess Kraehe; however, when Ahiru awakes from her state she will have no recollection of your confession." Princess Ayami looked straight into Fakir's eyes.

"Listen carefully, Fakir, once Ahiru defeats Princess Kraehe you will have less than three minutes to re-profess your love to Ahiru." She took a small pause as she let the information sink in Fakir's mind. "If you don't…then all of her powers will return back to me; returning her body back to its fragile state…ending her life." Fakir's eyes widen shock as the last sentence quickly registered in his brain. No words formed; his throat felt dry. His jaw tightens as he responded with a harp nod. Knowing how hard it was for Fakir to accept what will be awaiting him Princess Ayami flashed him a small sad smiled as she began to stand up back on her feet.

"I pray that luck is on your side." With those parting words a radiant light emitted from the Princess blinding Fakir. Unconsciously Fakir shield both Ahiru and himself from the blinding light. Once the light faded Fakir looked up to where Princess Ayami once stood only to find it empty.

"She's gone…" Fakir whispered under his breath.

'You will have less than three minutes to re-profess your love to Ahiru."

Those words echoed in his mind.

"…Ah…" Ahiru lightly groans as she started to surfers from her unconscious state.

"Ahiru." Fakir called out to her as she tried to sit herself up only to grunt in pain. "Don't push yourself, your still badly hurt." Fakir helped Ahiru slowly sit up as she draped an arm over her stomach as she lightly holds it to reduce the pain.

"What happened?" She asked as she glanced around her surroundings. "Where are we?" Fakir opened his mouth to answered her question but quickly shut it."

"When Ahiru awakes from her state she will have no recollection of your confession."

Fakir took a deep breath as he once again opened his mouth. "Kraehe gave you quite a beating that you lost consciousness." He said as he then looked up at the hole up on stage. "We're at the basement," Ahiru looked up at the hole as she sees the stage light shining through.

"I have to go back up." She said as she started to stand up. "I need to end this."

"Ahiru you're not ready."

"Yes I am!" Fakir stood frozen at the sudden out lash. "This battle has gone on for far too long. I don't want the story to continue on the same…" Her voice faded towards the end; her back facing Fakir disallowing him from seeing her face. Slowly Fakir approached Ahiru as he embraced her from the back.

"Fa-Fakir! What are you doing?" He didn't utter a word as he enjoys the short bliss of holding her in his arms once more. Without noticing Ahiru lean against Fakir's chest; it felt as if time had time. It felt like time stood still; how they both wish that were true, but Fakir pulled Ahiru at arm's reach away. Ahiru stared up at him in confusion not knowing why the sudden change.

"Go," Were the only words that fell out of Fakir's mouth.

"…Fakir…" Fakir shook his head as he let his arms slowly slide down from Ahiru shoulders.

"Go now before I change my mind." He didn't dare look her in the eyes; he couldn't because he felt that if he did then you wouldn't be able to stop himself from stopping her from fighting Kraehe again.

The Curse to find True Love

"Rue! What did you just do?!" Yelled out the white prince as he glared at Raven princess.

"What do you mean my prince," Rue said innocently as she smiled at Mytho and slowly walked her way towards him. "I simply rid of Tutu so that we can finally be together." Mytho's eyes widen in horror at that Rue had just stated.

"Rue…"

"I love you, Mytho," She said as she took hold of his hands slightly gripping them as if at any moment he would slip away from her grasp. "I've always loved you ever since we were kids but when Tutu entered the picture both you and Fakir fell in love with her." Her eyes glowed a bright red at the end of her sentence as she recalled the memory.

"But now she's gone and we can finally be together." Rue happily said as she smiled up at Mytho.

"Don't write me off just yet Kraehe!" Rue's eyes widen as she quickly turned her head towards where the voice came from; there ten feet away stood Princess Tutu slightly panting.

"YOU! I THOUHGT I GOT RID OF YOU!"

"I won't die, not yet; I won't let this story continue on like this!" Ahiru yelled as her ocean blue eyes glowed brighter and a pure white light engulfed her. "This ends now Rue!" In a flash the two charged at each other; they were mere inches away from collision when the two lights engulfed the two princesses; a pure white light infused with a sinister black light.

-BOOM-

A large explosion emitted from the lights causing the audience to let out a frightful scream. It was not safe for them anymore; Angel realized that seconds too late. She bites the inside of her cheek as she turned her back to the battle to face her students who were screaming and running in a panic.

I have to get them out of here they have they have nothing to do with this, Angel thought. Suddenly she felt something grab hold of her hand. Angel looked down to see another hand lacing their fingers with hers. Her gazed flickered to the owner of the hand's face.

"Haruko…" They stared at one another in silence; determination written all over their face. They simply nodded as they slightly squeeze their hands together only to pull them apart. Haruko ran out from backstage; where the audience were screaming and panicking. Angel, however, stayed backstage with the kids; they didn't know how to calm them down, all they knew was that they were scared. Finally Angel got an idea, she ran towards the back door exit, she weaved her way towards the door when she finally reached the door she slammed it open.

"Hurry run, Get out of here!" Angel yelled out over the student's screams. In a miracle the kids heard her and quickly ran out the door without hesitation; one by one they each ran out the door. Once making sure everyone was out Angel made a dash out towards Haruko; who was still trying to grab the audience attention.

"Haruko!" Angel called out. Haruko wiped his head towards her voice.

"Angel! Did you get the kids out?"

"They're safely out of the building."

"Ms. Angel!" Cried out a group of young voices, paralyzing both Haruko and Angel; the two turned their heads towards the voices to see the five students from the Star & Moon Special Class.

"What are you five doing here?! It's dangerous!"

"We want to help you!" Angel looked at her students with worry written all over her face. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"We don't have a choice; the two of us cannot guide all of these people out on our own." Angel bit down on her bottom lip as she nodded; reluctantly.

"Alright; you two go to the left wing and open the doors," Haruko said pointing to two girls on the left of the group of five. "You two; take the right wing." He pointed to the two boys' on the other end of the group of five.

"You," Angel pointed to the last one. "Are with us." With that everyone went to their position. Once they saw they were in position they singled at each other as they simultaneously opened the doors.

"Everyone please evacuate the building as quickly and safely as possible." Angel and Haruko called out with the students following there lead. The crowd of people didn't hesitate to quickly head to an opening door.

-BOOM-

Another explosion emitted from the stage unconsciously making the people duck their heads as they let out another scream. "Hurry!" Angel yelled out as she guided them to move faster. Her heart was beating rapidly, body trembling with fear and adrenalin as beads of sweat ran down her face and spin. This is my entire fault, she thought.

No my dear, it's not, a tender voice echoed in Angel's mind; her eyes widen as she heard the voice.

Ayami…Was the first name Angel thought of.

The Curse to find True Love

-BAM-

A body harshly hits the wall –creating a crater as she tried to recover from the attack. However, that did not happen when suddenly she felt her body once again float in the air when it suddenly impacted with the stage lighting –sending sparks all around her- as she then fell to the ground. Ah, how is this possible…She was weaker before, Rue thought as she struggled to pick her body up, only to fall back down.

"It's over Rue," Rue looked up to see Ahiru Standing in front of her; Rue glared up at her.

"Never."

"Give it up, I have defeated you," Ahiru said. "There is no point in us fighting anymore."

"Yes there is!" Ahiru gave her a pity look.

"No, no there is not I have found my one true love and her is not the Prince," Ahiru took a pause to see it Rue was going to interrupt but she didn't. "I am in love with his knight I have always loved the knight. You were so blinded by jealously that you never noticed."

"Noticed what? That you destroyed my life." Ahiru shook her head.

"No, that the Prince was in fact in love with you…not me," Rue's eyes widen. "I was simply a childhood crush noting more nothing less."

"You're lying!" Again Ahiru shook her head.

"I would never lie about love."

"I-It can't be true…he was always chasing after you!" Ahiru softly smiled.

"You only saw it that way when in fact he was actually seeking advice from me to get to you."

"But he worried for you when I sent you down the basement!"

"Of course I would you almost kill our close childhood friend by slamming her down to the basement floor." Ahiru step aside to allow Mytho to face Rue.

"Mytho…" Tears started to well up in her eyes causing her vision to start to blur. Mytho reach out his hand to help Rue sit up; with his right hand he held onto her hand while his other hand reached out to caress her cheek.

"Rue, I am so sorry it took me so long to realize it," Rue impatiently waited placed a hand over his. "I love you." Tears cascaded down her cheek when she hears the words she had long to hear from her beloved. Without hesitation Rue flings herself to Mytho as she crushes her lips on his. A smile placed on two wrapped their arms around each other.

Ahiru smiled at the two to see that they finally got their happy ending. "Ahiru!" Ahiru quickly turn her head only to be greeted by darkness. She was engulfed into an embrace but as quickly as it came she was enough for the person to dip down and capture her lips. Her eyes widen at the sudden actions but finally the person pulled back. Ahiru's eyes widen bigger when she saw who it was.

"Fakir…" Fakir smiled down at her.

"I love you." Ahiru's breath hitched as a blush started to dust her perfectly porcelain skin. Slowly a smile formed on her lips as she leaped into Fakir arms. She tightly wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him. It was as if they were the only two in the whole world; finally the two parted reluctantly.

"I love you too Fakir." When those words left her mouth there was a blinding light that surrounded her. Fakir shields his eyes as he involuntarily took a few steps back. Ten seconds passed when the light started to fade; slowly Ahiru's body floated down in front of Fakir. Just as her feet touch the ground her body wet limp; Fakir quickly felt his body move forward as he reached out to grab Ahiru's body just meters away from the floor. He held her in his arms as he took noticed that she wasn't wearing her ballerina white dress anymore; her hair was back to normal there were no feathers insight and it was back to its regular length –It was loose allowing her hair to scatter around her. She was wearing a white off-shoulder chiffon mini summer Lolita tunic top dress. Her eyes were still closed as she Fakir held her in his arms; Fakir was staring down at her peaceful sleeping face while in the background you were able to hear numerous running footsteps coming towards them. Just as the footsteps came close to where Fakir and Ahiru were; breathless one of them tried to form words, only for them to come out splutter.

"A" –huff, huff- "Hi" –huff, huff- "Ru." Angel's voice sounded horsed and shaken up; she tried to move closer towards Ahiru but was stopped by Haruko. Angel looked over her shoulder to look at him only to see him shake his head at her telling her to not get any closer. She turned back to face Ahiru and Fakir as worry filled her eyes. Rue and Mytho stood on the opposite side of Angel and Haruko. Minutes passed but Ahiru didn't show any signs of waking up everyone was starting to worry neither of them make a sound or movement. Just as they were about to make a move a bright blinding light appeared just inches above Ahiru and Fakir. There floating above was Princess Ayami smiling down at all in front of her.

"Princess Ayami…" Angel whispered as she stared up in awe. Ayami gave Angel a soft smile as she slightly nodded towards her acknowledging her words. Princess Ayami descended from the air as she stood in front of Fakir and Ahiru. She gracefully kneeled down and caressed Ahiru's cheek. "Ayami…Please tell me Ahiru is going to be alright." Angel begged Ayami.

"…Yes, Ahiru will be just fine. She is simply resting." Everyone let out a sigh of relief. "She found her true love…The cruse is forever lifted, never again will my children suffer." Angel, Haruko, Rue, Mytho, and Fakir all smiled with joy that the retched cruse is forever gone from their lives.

"I wish to my future generation bloodline a fulfilling a blissful life." Ayami said as she gently placed a kiss upon Ahiru's forehead.

The Curse to find True Love

It has been a day since the incident; Tsukasa along with Angel and Haruko took care of everything back at the school. Despite the play being a total disaster and almost put the whole Special Class along with the audience in danger it was awarded 'Best Class Play'. Angel took care of paying for all the damage reparations. Haruko since that day never left Angel side regardless of her constant nagging of telling him to leave her be.

Finally realizing their feeling for one another both Rue and Mytho started to date. It was as if the two were meant for one another they never left each other's side.

As for Fakir and Ahiru…

Ahiru still remained in her unconscious state; she was currently resting in her home –lying upon her bed-. Fakir sat beside her bedside he never left her side without reason. Everyone came up to check up on the two; especially Amu and Ikuto. Regardless of not being blood related Ahiru was like their own little girl and they just couldn't bear to see her in her current state; it broke their hearts that they couldn't do anything else to help her but just wait for her to awake.

-Knock, Knock-

"Come in." Fakir called out in a soft voice loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear. The door opens to reveal Amu holding a tray of food and beside her was Ikuto.

"Fakir we brought you some food." Amu said in a soft tone as both her and Ikuto walked into Ahiru's room. Fakir looked over towards them as he stood up and took the tray from Amu.

"Thank you Amu, Ikuto." The two gave him a gentle smile.

"No we should be thanking you for everything that you have done for us…and for our dear Ahiru." Ikuto said as he took Amu into his arms bringing her closer towards him.

"I would repeat everything again if it meant being by her side and in her life." The room fell silent after Fakir finished his sentence. The three all stared at the motionless sleeping girl; no one made a sound they simply stared at her thinking that she might wake up if they stare long enough at her. However, it never came; she didn't wake up even for as long as they did stare she never woke up.

The Curse to find True Love

"Argh these damn people are going make me get gray hair's earlier then my proper age!" Angel yelled out as she entered the Tsukiyomi household.

"Welcome back Angel," Angel was just walking through the front door of the house when Amu greeted her but she wasn't alone. "And Haruko." The couple smiled up at Amu.

"Hey Amu," The two greet in return in sync.

"Seriously you two should just tie the knot already," The three looked up at the stairs to see Ikuto descending from them with his infamous smirk placed upon his lips. "It's a miracle you're not even married already after all these years you two have known each other."

"Ikuto does have a point you two knew each other even before Ahiru came into the family." Amu shut her mouth tight when she realized the words that came out of her lips. The room fell into a complete silence.

"How is…Ahiru?" Angel asked as she stared down at the floor. She just couldn't bear to see the expressions of her friends face known that fact that Ahiru has yet to wake up from her slumber.

"She's still unconscious," Amu said with just a sad tone in her voice.

"Fakir hasn't left her side since they came back home." Ikuto said as he wrapped his arms around Amu's shoulders.

"There is not much we can do but wait for her to wake up." Haruko added as he wrapped his arms around Angel's shoulders.

"My, my you all look to be so sad today." A voice from behind the four adults said. All four heads turn to see who it was and were surprise who it was.

"Tsukasa," they all said in sync.

"Good evening to you all."

"What are you doing here Tsukasa?" Amu and Angel asked.

"Well I came to have some tea with you all," Tsukasa said with a smile only confusing the others even more. "There is something I wish to discuss with you all…including Fakir."

"Fakir…?" Angel asked; Tsukasa nodded his head.

"Where is the young Knight?"

"He's upstairs with Ahiru; I can go get him since you want to talk to all five of us." Ikuto said. Tsukasa's smile never left his lips as he nodded to Ikuto's suggestion.

"Yes, please do Ikuto." Ikuto nodded as he headed upstairs again to get Fakir.

-Knock, Knock-

"Come in." Ikuto heard; he opened the door and saw the same scene he always saw when he enters the room – Ahiru in her unconscious state and Fakir staring at her peaceful face expecting her to wake up any minute.

"Fakir…" Ikuto called out to Fakir in a softly low voice; he waited until Fakir finally turns to look at the bluenette. "Tsukasa is here and he wants to talk to all of us –You, Amu, me, Angel and Haruko."

"About what?" Fakir asked; Ikuto shook his head telling the young lad that he had no clue as to why the blonde man wanted to talk to them all.

"I don't know. He didn't tell us; but it seems important." Fakir hesitated for a bit.

I don't want to leave her side…but Ikuto said that it's something important, Fakir thought. Finally deciding, Fakir stood up from his chair and walked towards the door next to Ikuto. "Okay…" Ikuto move aside to let Fakir pass as he then closed the door but not before he took another glance at his beloved little girl.

The two male's slowly descended down the stairs where the group was waiting for them. "Great everyone is hear, shall we take this some place where we can calmly talk about this matter?" Tsukasa said; Amu nodded as she gesture them all towards the closed café. The six took a seat on a round table booth.

"Now what is it that you wanted to talk about Tsukasa?" Angel asked as soon as she saw everyone sitting down.

"It seems that our beloved first princess Ayami paid me a visit in my dreams last night." As soon as Tsukasa said that everyone's eyes and ears were completely focused on Tsukasa's every movement and every word. "It seems she was informing me about the awaking of our precious little duck.

The Curse to find True Love

As Tsukasa was discussing with the group about his visit from Ayami; upstairs in the Sleeping duckling's room the unconscious girl was stirring around on her bed; tossing and turning until finally she abruptly woke up in a sitting position. She blinked a few time trying to adjust her vision to what was in front of her. She was greeted by dim light of the setting sun; she lifted her gaze up and looked around her surrounding to find that no one was there. Ahiru slowly slipped her legs off the edge of her bed letting them dang mere inches off the ground. Just as she was about to place more pressure into her footing the door to her room slammed open with such force that it made her jump as he head snapped up to look at what was happening. There at the opened doorway stood a panting green headed knight staring into the eyes of his beloved Princess. "Ahiru…" Fakir took long strokes to get in front of Ahiru; he kneeled in front of her, pushing her knees open to slip hid lean frame in between them. He put his hands on her hips and pulled her to the edge of her bed as he stared deep into her ocean blue eyes. Ahiru held his gaze as she reached up and ran her fingers through his forest green hair allowing the strands to slip through her fingers as she gave him a soft gentle smile. When Fakir saw that smile, he pulled her complete towards him as he hugged her around her waist.

"Your awake…You're finally awake." Ahiru gently stroke Fakir's back as she felt his body tremble. As the two were lost in their own world they did not noticed that they had an audience already.

"Ahiru… you're awake." Both Amu and Angel said in sync as tears started to cascade down their cheeks. Ahiru looked up to look at her family all tearing up as she flashed them all a smile.

"I'm back." She said; Fakir loosens his grip around her waist as he stood up to look straight into her eyes.

"And I'm never going to let you out of my sights again." He whispered as he tenderly pressed his lips upon hers taking Ahiru by surprise but nevertheless she returned the kiss with all the love she carried for him. When air was a most the two part Fakir pressed his forehead against hers as he stared down into her lovely eyes.

"I love you." He whispered; she smiled up at him as she wrapped her arms around his chest.

"I love you too."
