This is the sequel to "Love As Their Bet".
Like, Promise I wrote this in one hour :S
Please enjoy~
"It's time to go." The man spoke quietly to his new and adopted daughter, "The funeral is about to start."
The girl put on her black gloves and took her new father's arm. It would help to have support when the buzzing media would swarm her. They wouldn't understand her need for some privacy because as far as they thought, she belonged to everyone. She wished that wasn't the case as she stepped out into the clouded sunlight.
"Ikuto." Someone shoved at his shoulders to wake him up. "Someone is here; she said she was your girlfriend."
The person chuckled, "I didn't know you had one."
Ikuto growled and sat up. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and watched Kukai leave the room. They both knew Ikuto didn't have a girlfriend, he had multiple. It had been three years since Amu left without a goodbye, but Utau has been keeping in touch. She wouldn't tell Ikuto anything, though, or at least she wouldn't tell him until he quit sleeping around and everyone agreed with her.
His 'girlfriend' was about to walk into his room, but he never allowed anyone into his room. Why? Because on one of Utau's outings with Amu they took a picture and Utau gave it to Ikuto. This picture was on his bed-side table. Ikuto regretted everything, but nothing could change that now.
Finally, after Ikuto threw on a sweater and sweat pants, he walked out of his room to see Saaya standing tapping her foot.
"You aren't my girlfriend." Ikuto stated.
"And neither are the twenty other girls begging for you." Saaya said sarcastically. After Amu left, Saaya had no interest in Ikuto and Utau, Rima and she became good friends.
"You have to come with Utau and me to pick up the twins." Saaya stated, she never liked Nadeshiko and Nagihiko much and so they gained the title, 'the twins'.
"Where is Utau?" Ikuto asked.
She gestured to the couple by the door. Utau was flirting with Kukai, but neither of them realized they had an audience until Rima appeared and coughed.
"Come on, we have to hurry." Rima exclaimed and everyone smiled at her. She and Nagihiko had been keeping in touch and now they were finally going to see each other again.
Everyone piled into the seven-seater Kukai borrowed for this occasion. They drove for ten minutes before Utau turned on the radio.
Her voice filled the vehicle, it was mournful, fluid and the high notes were hit with ease. This was the first song she broadcasted worldwide and only this group of people knew the real story as to why she sounded so sad.
Right under my feet there's air made of bricks
Pulls me down turns me weak for you
I find myself repeating like a broken tune
And I'm forever excusing your intentions
And I give in to my pretendings
Which forgive you each time
Without me knowing
They melt my heart to stone
And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love
Utau turned back to look at Ikuto, but he was staring out the window with an unfocused gaze.
Each and every time I turn around to leave
I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed
So desperately I try to link it with my head
But instead I fall back to my knees
As you tear your way right through me
I forgive you once again
Without me knowing
You've burnt my heart to stone
And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love
Kukai was the one who changed the station, but she was on that station as well. Kukai silently cried with frustration and turned off the radio.
"Sorry, Ikuto." He said.
Ikuto shrugged, but didn't say a word. Everyone had their ideas about how he felt, and everyone, except Utau and Rima, hoped he would get over these feelings soon. Utau and Rima were the only ones to hope for some happiness between the pair and they hoped it would happen soon because they knew something everyone else didn't. The girl Ikuto wanted to see so bad was coming to Japan to kick off her worldwide tour.
Utau flicked on the radio just as the song ended and the announcer spoke, "And that was Amu Hinamori's Melt My Heart to Stone. She told the press the other day some very unfortunate news. Her tour won't be able to start in Japan like she had hoped."
The car became silent as everyone digested two new pieces of information. One, Amu was going on tour and she was going to start in Japan. Two, she could no longer start in Japan.
The announcer continued, "In fact, she might have to down size her worldwide tour to just North America. Very disappointing."
Kukai flicked off the radio before the announcer could finish his thought. Utau and Rima became very glum.
When they finally arrived at the airport, the mood had gone from good, to sad, to sour. Who knew Amu would have that effect on them.
Nadeshiko and Nagihiko sensed the mood when they met up and they tried to change the mood, but it was hard to. The drive home was suffocating and it seemed like if anyone spoke out of place their head would be removed immediately.
"Let's turn on the radio." Nadeshiko suggested. Everyone turned and glared at her, but she rolled her eyes, "What? I assume her song got you in this mood, so what are the chances her song is still on?"
Everyone relaxed and agreed as Utau turned to radio back on.
A song, only instrumental so far, filled the car. It was new, no one in the car had heard it before, but then it shut off and the announcer spoke, "Can you guess who this is? Call and win a prize."
The song came back on quietly as the announcer told them that this was the first public broadcasting of this song. The song came over the announcer and a seemingly different voice filled the car.
Are you a shy boy?
Were in the door, I get a smile from a fly boy I'm in a lounge, I get a wink from a bad boy [Chorus Are you a shy boy? Out on the floor, I get the moves from a home boy [Chorus] Are you a shy boy? Freak boy [Chorus] [Chorus]
He seen me before and makes his move like a fly boy
I'm sick and tired of them fly boys
It's bye bye boy
He comes around all puffed up like a bad boy
I'm sick and tired of them bad boys
]Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind me a shy boy
So I gotta know
I'm by the stage, I get a look from a rock boy
He's got the shades on indoors like a rock boy
I'm sick and tired of them rock boys
It's bye bye boy
Trying to score, his body rocks like a home boy
I'm sick and tired of them home boys
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind me a shy boy
So I gotta know
Fresh boy
Slick boy
You're messing with a tom boy
Might just knock you out like a school boy
Crude boy
Playboy
Cowboy
I heard it all before, boy
I'm going out to get me a shy boy
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind me a shy boy
So I gotta know
Cause I got my eye on this other guy
Back in the booth with his boys, he's all mellowed out
And tonight I don't mind me a shy boy
So I gotta know
Are you a shy boy?
Shy boy
Shy boy
Shy boy
Shy boy
There was some beeping and then a woman's voice answered, "Amu Hinamori."
"Very good!" The announcer exclaimed, "It is her new song Shy Boy."
He went on to explain her prize, but everyone was shocked to here this song. The announcer's question lingered in everyone's heads. Not even, Utau and Rima could figure out if there was a new love interest.
Everyone was staying over at Kukai's and Ikuto's for the night. So, when they drove it to the driveway everyone got out of the car with one thought on their mind. Did Amu have a new love interest?
There you have it!
The first song was Melt My Heart to Stone by Adele
