Intro

There was a quote Kairi once heard: "True love doesn't have a happy ending, because true love never ends. Letting go is one way of saying I love you." He saw it the day after Amu returned from the hunt for her missing charas.

Kairi knew she'd realized something about herself, but it wasn't until a conversation following her arrival that Kairi figured out what the realization was. It only took that one sentence.

"Well, while I was there, I saw... Ikuto."

The way she blushed, looked away, and hesitated gave her away.

Amu was Kairi's first love, but above that, she was his friend. And as her friend, he easily recognized two things: her heart was with Ikuto, and Kairi needed let her go.

With five roses, he would do just that.


A/N: I intended to edit it again, but someone (you know who you are) wanted me to post this, so here it is. I have a feeling that this wasn't as good as it could have been, so criticism and suggestions are very welcome.
