Epilogue
Fakir picked Ahiru up still holding Mytho's cape to her wound and the four walked home exhausted beyond all belief. As soon as they got back to Fakir's dorm, not caring if anyone saw them, Kraehe transformed back to Rue and she and Mytho passed out on one of the beds. Fakir placed Ahiru on his bed. He stayed awake all night just watching her sleep and keeping multiple towels near him for her bleeding out. After a few hours, the bleeding slowed down and then stopped soon after that.
Fakir heard her having a small nightmare in the night which quickly turned to a huge one to the point of her wincing in serious pain. He gently shook her awake and she immediately woke scanning the room and then looking up at him.
"Fakir? Where are we?" she asked her voice shaking from the nightmare.
"Calm down Ahiru." He said gently stroking her head. "We're back home. We carried you back after you passed out. You're safe now."
Ahiru reached up with her hand and touched Fakir's cheek. Fakir reached up with his other hand and pressed her hand to his cheek, embracing her warm touch.
"We won?" she asked.
"Yes, Drosselmeyer is gone for good. Mytho cut him down with his sword and he vanished finally to his grave." He said feeling as though he was going to cry out of happiness that she was going to be fine. "However, you were badly injured." He felt the tears fall down his face as he remembered her in his arms, almost gone from his life forever. "Because I wasn't there to protect you…you almost died."
Ahiru lightly gasped and used her hand to wipe Fakir's tears away. "If you weren't there Fakir, I would have. You wrote his death, you saved me, and for that I owe you my life." She said having tears come to her eyes too. "And now, I can say these words, with no fear. Fakir, I love you." She said smiling brightly and confidently at him.
Fakir smiled back and embraced her in a loving hug that seemed like there was no end, and they didn't care. They were just happy that they got their happy ending like they always wanted. Ahiru never once could leave Fakir's room. Every time she tried to move, she cried in sheer pain. Fakir banded her wounds and never once left her side. It took her at least a month to heal and the day she was told she could dance once more, she shot out of the bed and instantly started dancing. However there was one last thing that needed to be resolved.
Later that following week, Fakir wrote the town's story back to normal. Neko-sensei became a cat once more, and Pique and Lillie were brought back.
"They were killed because the story said they were. Now that the story is broken, it never happened." Fakir explained to Ahiru.
Mytho and Rue remained in Kinkan Town for a long time and help repair the damages of the story. After the town was repaired they went back to the town.
"We must return to the kingdom, to make sure we keep in law and order." Mytho said. Ahiru didn't want them to go; in fact when she heard they were leaving, she collapsed to the ground sobbing.
"It's all right Ahiru I'm still here." Fakir had said to her crouching down next to her.
She started crying into his shirt. He cradled her and Mytho and Rue came over to hug her as well. Soon after that they left and the last Rue and Mytho saw of them was waving goodbye, Fakir with his arm around Ahiru's shoulder and Ahiru's arm around Fakir's waist.
Afterwards, Ahiru stayed with Fakir in his dorm. There were times where he would let Ahiru sleep in the same bed as Fakir. Mostly the times were when Ahiru had a bad nightmare, or she was scared and needed comfort. There were a few times that Fakir would let her sleep next to him just because. Since then they came back to the academy where Ahiru's clumsiness was gone now and replaced with elegance so beautiful, it could only be performed by Princess Tutu. She was placed in the advanced class and became Fakir's new partner.
Fakir loved her reaction when the teacher told her she was to be placed in advance class as Fakir's new partner. They had just performed a pas de deux with so much emotion, love, and grace. Everyone was shocked and applauding wildly and was gasping in awe at how much emotion there was.
"That was beautiful you two!" the new teacher had said. "Ahiru-san, I'm placing you in the advance class as Fakir's new dance partner."
Ahiru had gasped and she smiled so wide, Fakir couldn't help but smile back. Ahiru out of absolute joy leaped into Fakir's arms he spun her around in the air once before putting her back down. Most of the class gasped in shock because they didn't know they loved each other, however Pique and Lillie when they were brought back were told everything. When they saw Fakir spin Ahiru in the air with him smiling, they felt happy as ever for their friend.
Fakir never in his life had been so happy. He loved waking up in the morning to her smiling face, and saying good night as she was slowly drifting off to sleep. He loved to dance with her in ballet, and loved the look on her face when she got a new dance move he was teaching her right. He loved…her.
However there was one incident in which, one man of the ballet school, just did not get that they were in love: Femio-san. They were on their way back to Fakir's dorm when he appeared out of nowhere, rose petals falling from nowhere, and grabbed Ahiru's hand and pulled her away from Fakir. She yelped and when she saw it was Femio-san, she tried to pull away but he firmly had her.
"My fair maiden, do not listen to this man's false love." Femio-san said looking towards Fakir. "I shall love you unconditionally from now until forever and you shall love me." And he kissed her hand!
"Fakir!" she yelled as he got up and was leaning forward to kiss her. Fakir had enough right there. He ran forward and punched Femio-san so hard in the face, he knocked him out cold. Ahiru clung to him tightly and he scowled at Femio-san.
"Stay away from her!" Fakir said menacingly. He gathered Ahiru up in his arms and they ran off in the direction of Fakir's dorm.
As they entered, Ahiru sat in his desk chair panting. "Thank you Fakir. He's a very creepy person who just doesn't get it." She said.
Fakir grinned. "Well if he ever tries that again, he won't just be knocked out cold." He said.
Since then, Femio kept his distance. If even once he tried to get close, Fakir shot him with a snarl and such an angry look that could make even Neko-sensei think twice about wanting to marry Ahiru. They stayed more than friends for a long time and they really got their happy ending.
Yeah, yeah, I know, short. But what else could you write? Ahiru and Fakir got their happy ending and so did Rue and Mytho! Hope you like it!
