"What are you planning now?" Kukai asked, his voice filled with concern. I sighed and rested my head against the sofa.

"Whatever it takes to bring him down." I said and drifted to sleep.

Next morning

My head was throbbing violently. The pain from the aftershock hadn't subsided yet. A groan escape my lips. The sound of footsteps didnt help either.

"Morning sleepy head." A familiar voice said.

My eyes widen,"Utau..?"

"Who else would it be?" She replied sarcastically.

My body shot up as she threw a pillow towards my direction.

"Missed."

"Hmph." She grumble and left to the kitchen.

I smiled and went to the restroom. I coukd hear her preparing breakfast.

'More like setting the kitchen on fire.'

Suddenly I could smell smoke and black fog through the door. I quickly put my toothbrush aside and headed towards the kitchen. There in all her glory Utau, fanning the flame.

'Shes making things worse..'

My eyes narrow and took the fire extinguisher, spraying its contents all over the fire. I heard her sigh in relief. I shot her a glare.

"Not my fault your pan cant handle the heat."

I glanced at the poor pan.

'Note to self never let Utau in the kitchen ever again.'

I placed the pan aside and brought the new one. i felt my pride well up for buying a spare pan.

"Sit." With that Utau left to the living room. After I was done with making breakfast. Utau came back and sat next to me. I sighed and said my prayers before eating.

"So hows life treating you?" Utau began.

"Good I guess." I said nonchantly,"Ne,Utau,why are you here?"

She stopped eating and glared at me,"Whats wrong with me being concern about you? You think Im doing this for Ikuto?"

At the mention of his name I froze.

"Sorry..." I mumbled.

"Look Amu, I havent contacted you for years of course Id be concern about you."

"I...just..." I stuttered.

She placed her hand on my shoulder.

I couldn't let her see me so weak. Not now.

'No never.'

I shot her a sad smile.

"Thanks."

She lifted her hands off my shoulder and sat next to me, clasping my hands together.

"He's back..."

"Who's back?" I said trying to stall.

She inhaled deeply before letting out the dreaded name,"Ikuto."

'No...'

How could I face him? I thought I was ready to face him. I guess five years being away from him hadn't changed me at all. Maybe just a little.

"Amu..."

My eyes feel began to feel heavy. The pain thay was hidden so long ago,slightly cracked and I began to feel the sorrow from the past.

'Breathe.'

"Utau I wa-"

The door flung open and Kukai came in with plastic bags.

"Hey dude look what I got from the st-"Kukai stopped in midsentence before dropping the bags."Utau?"

She narrowed her eyes before running up to him. The two held each other and I grinned at the scene before me. Almost forgetting about Ikuto.

I tried to sneak pass the two but Utau grabbed my hand and held it.

"Where do you think your going?" She asked.

"I need to freshen up a bit, you know get some air." I said trying to make an excuse,"Plus you two need to catch up."

'I needed to get out of here'

"Amu wai-"

"Let her." Kukai said holding her back. I silently thanked him before letting go of her hand.

Everything was suddenly a blur as I ran. I didn't know where I was heading. I just needed to get out. I kept running and didn't notice the headlights until it was too late. I waited for the impact but it never came. All I knew was I was in the arms of a stranger. I opened my closed eyes and looked up at the stranger and instantly froze.

There he was,the man that I had fallen in love with.

"Ikuto..?" I asked.

He sighed,"What were you thinking of that was so important that it would cost your life?"

My cheeks flared in anger,"Why the hell do you care?"

He smirked," Not even a thank you little girl?"
