(Prologue)

"Hinamori , its already 3 years , don't you think that you should start forgetting him already? I mean..at this rate , you'll just get hurt" Kuukai said.

A vein popped out of my head "DO I HAVE A CHOICE? I love him! You telling me all this crap can't make that stupid love feeling disappear!"

He sweatdropped "I know but.."

I sighed "Kuukai , I get that you're saying this for my sake , but I can't control this feelings.."

"Hey , Hinamori , are you angry at him?" he asked.

The question flipped a certain switch in me.

"OF COURSE I DO! THAT STUPID DOUCHE BAG SAID THAT HE'LL COME BACK! YEAH SURE HE WILL! ITS BEEN THREE YEARS AND I DON'T EVEN SEE HIS SHADOW!" I screamed.

"Then do you love him?" he asked.

I blinked and turned slightly red "Y-yeah.."

"Then why don't you cry?" he asked . That question shocked me.

"W-what are you saying? Why do I need to cry?" I asked pretending to smile.

He sighed "Its because you're holding it in the pain . Thats why you can't forget him."

I looked down "I don't have a choice..I promised..I had to find my true self , how can i cry?"

He sighed , rubbing his forehead "You ... I can't tell if you have a strong will or you're just being stubborn"

"Hey!" I shouted in protest.

"Hinamori , do you even want to forget about him?" he asked.

"What's this anyway? 20 questions?" I asked , irritated.

He sweatdropped "Just answer it"

I sighed "I don't know.." this made Kuukai raise his eyebrows.

"I love him..If possible , i want to remember him forever ..And yet , I hate him . For breaking his promise , making me go through all this... Maybe..I should forget , huh?" I said.

He grinned "Alright! If you're gonna forget him , lets make you be so happy that he'll regret not coming back for you once he meets you again"

I blinked "Huh?"

"You're angry aren't cha? You don't have to forget him so fast , take you're time and find your true happiness . Make yourself so happy and prove that you can be happy even without him" he said flashing his signature grin.

Tears started welling up in my eyes .

Kuukai was right , since he did this to me , all I should have done was to be happier than he is.

And yet...there was I feeling so sympathetic for myself..

"H-hinamori? Why are you crying?" Kuukai asked , alert.

I shook my head and rested my head on his chest "Thank you , Kuukai"

(Kuukai's POV)

I froze slightly and sighed.

I cared so much about her and yet she had to care so much about a freaking cat . If she likes cats so much , couldn't she went to a pet store or something?

I sighed again .

I grabbed Hinamori's shoulders and made her face me eye to eye .

"Alright! Hinamori , listen properly , from today , you'll be a different Hinamori Amu . Actually you know what? You don't need to force yourself to do things you don't like to change" I started.

She stared at me in confusion .

I sighed and ruffled her hair with one hand "Don't you feel that this past three years has been going especially fast? From 12 years old , you jumped to being 15 years old without enjoying much of your school life all because you were too coped up thinking about that guy"

I paused and made her turn around to face the park "Why not stop in your tracks for awhile and enjoy the scenery? All the fun you missed out in the past three years , enjoy them all right now . What you're trying to do , is definitely not force yourself to do stuff you hate just to make Ikuto regret . He's not worth it . What you're supposed to do right now is to be yourself . Hinamori Amu was lost in the past years because of the sadness Ikuto gave , so find it back , and prove to him that you can survive without him"

(Amu's POV)

I stared at Kuukai . He was right . This past three years , i refused to tell anyone what was happening except Kuukai . I became more and more distant from the others especially my friends. The cool'n spicy side of me was gone , along with the true me . I became invisible , no one noticed me except Kuukai all because I was feeling too sad to bother .

Surely Ikuto wasn't worth it , not enough for me to give up my life for him

(Kuukai's POV_

She blinked and stared in front for awhile before smiling . She huged me tightly and whispered "Thank you , Kuukai"

I froze. By then , I was sure that I was the reddest being on earth.

Hinamori released me and gave me a weird look "Kuukai? Why are you so red?"

"N-nothing!" I shouted and began flapping my collar and whistling "Its just that its too hot! I can't believe the heat here!"

"Huuhhhh? Its the winter season now!" she asked looking at me as though i was an idiot.

"A-anyways , now that we're done talking , lets go , I'll treat you to ice-cream!" I shouted and pushed her in front of me towards the ice-cream cart.

(Amu's POV)

"Hey!" I shouted in protest as Kuukai pushed me towards the ice-cream cart.

"Oh chill! I'm gonna have a triple scoop! Hinamori , what flavour do you want?" he asked grinning as he pushed me.

"Wait-" I started , turning around slightly causing me to bump into his chest .

I blinked.

Something smells good..

..Vanilla?

Kuukai..he smells like Vanilla?

Why...?

But it makes me feel so secured...

No , its not just he's scent..its his presence that makes me feel so..

So safe and secured...and happy..

"Hinamori?" Kuukai asked.

I smiled softly "Vanilla"

He blinked "Huh?"

"I'll get Vanilla flavored ice-cream" I said smiling at him.

He blinked and grinned "I see"
