I've been trying to update The Other Sister, so please be patient if you are waiting for an update. The second chapter to that story is slowly, very slowly coming together. Here is an all new chapter of While You Were Away!

CHAPTER REVISED


While You Were Away

Chapter Seven

How To Love


The secret too really, really, pissing Amu Hinamori off was never known until Sora opened his mouth. The moment Amu and Sora exited Inori's office; Amu got a slap right onto his cheek- a very hard one. There was a red hand print that was visibly forming, and when Sora looked at Amu in question, he realized that she was red. Not a blushing red, but a fuming red as she gave him a glare so full hate in that very moment.

"What is wrong with you?" Amu whispered harshly, her body shaking.

Sora gave her a look, "Care to elaborate?"

"Agreeing with Inori! Agreeing for both of us to pretend to be a couple!" Amu yelled, fists clenched.

Sora's warm eyes then took on a dark look as he stepped forward to Amu, who in return stepped back until she was backed up against the wall. Still Sora kept advancing, until she put her hands out in attempt to push him, but Sora easily wrapped his hands around her thin, shaking wrists and pushed them back to her side. Now Sora was pressed against Amu, like in the janitor closet, leaning in to her ear.

"We might as well be Amu, surely that kiss meant something to you." Sora whispered heavily into her ear, pulling back to look at Amu in the eyes. "It meant something to me."

"It was just a kiss." Amu whispered back, failing to hide her denial, her eyes lost in his stare.

Unsatisfied with her answer, Sora pressed his lips against Amu's, his arms moving to wrapping around her waist to bring her in closer. He had her exactly where he wanted; backed against the wall- she couldn't try to run away from this. Somehow Amu's hands found their way to his chest, and she clung onto his shirt tightly as her back instinctively arched. Sora took that as an invite to pull her into a deeper kiss when Amu finally responded- kissing him back fiercely. Then he pulled away slightly winded, not releasing Amu from his hold as they rekindled their eyes contact.

"Was that just a kiss Amu?" Sora asked, a spark of mischief danced in his green eyes.

"Why?" Amu whispered looking down. "Why do you confuse me so much Sora?"

Sora gently raised her chin to meet her honey eyes, "How do I confuse you?"

"One second you can be so playful, and now- your acting possessive. Why?" Amu whispers.

Sora frowned, "Amu, there is a difference. I could never be possessive over anyone."

"Then why? Why did you kiss me to prove your point?" Amu's honey eyes glistened with unshed tears.

Sora smiled sadly. Putting a hand on her cheek, "To show you that you don't have to be scared Amu. I know that for a fact- you get nervous about being in relationships. I know that right now, you are scared of us. I wanted to show you that you aren't lone Amu, so please don't shut me out. Please let me in."

No one ever asked that of Amu before, so she stood there just looking at Sora with a sense of uncertainty. He was right; she realized that she was scared. She loved once, and look at what happened- he kept leaving, but he had been looking for his father. He was the past, and Sora was the one standing right here, no scared to speak how he really felt. Slowly, Amu felt her lips twitch upward. Maybe, she could take a little risk.

"Not once has anyone ever said that to me." Amu whispers. "But I don't want a relationship that is fake and seems scandalous."

Sora chuckled, placing his forehead onto Amu's, "Then let's make it to where it isn't fake. Let's make this real Amu."

Amu's cheek fluttered a bright pink, but never once did she look away or yell out of embarrassment. It felt like her heart was racing and it only continued to pick up speed. All her fear, her anger seemed to fade suddenly at Sora's gentle words, and it was then she knew she could no longer deny it- after a year and half, she could finally admit it. Slowly Sora felt her body relaxed in his embrace.

"I'd like that." Amu smiled, this time she leaned in and gently kissed him.

Instead of the rough, and fast kisses the two shared the past times, this one was different. It wasn't fast or rough- no, it was gentle and sweet and slow. Sora kissed the pinkette back, slowly loosening his grip as she brought him closer when she wrapped her arms behind his neck. Amu pulled away shortly with a smile.

"Come on, I want to show you something." Sora says, grabbing hold of Amu's hand and pulling her towards the stairwell.

The new couple went up two flights of stairs in a comfortable silence. Amu knew this wasn't like her, she normally wouldn't have agreed to become Sora's girlfriend, but given the circumstances- Seiyo already believed them to be dating. Maybe that's why.

No it's not Amu-Chan! Say it- admit it Amu! That voice was undeniably familiarly Kilala's, but Amu easily ignored her.

Sora came to a stop in the recording studio, were Amu usually stood and watched the Ayumu Chika band record music- where she was scheduled to record within the next two weeks.

"Isn't kind of early to be doing that duet?" Amu joked, sitting in a chair.

Sora laughed, "I was kidding about that, unless you really want to go through with it." He turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Why not?" Amu reasoned. "It could be fun, and we get 'bonding' time."

"Mhmmm." Sora smirked. "You'll just distract me."

"Nope." Amu denied. "I wouldn't because I'll make sure you work."

"Ah a woman with a taste of dominance." He winked playfully. "I love a challenge."

Amu laughed at that, feeling a sense of carefree around Sora. Sora walked towards the filing cabinet and shuffled through it before pulling out a single CD. He came over to Amu and handed to her and she simply raised a questioning eyebrow.

"I wrote this for you about maybe a few weeks ago, it was a part of your birthday gift but I was shy to give it to you." Sora admitted sheepishly.

"Shy?" Amu laughed. "You shy? Oh- you're serious."

"Listen to it when you get home or have time." Sora says, holding out his hand. "Now the group wants to do something today, like the mall or a walk. I want to show you off."

Amu laughed and took his hand. "I'm not some flashy prize, plus we can't go anywhere, because we have school and we are already late."

"Then it that case." Sora picked Amu up and tossed her over his shoulder. "Let's get to school."

Amu giggled as he ran down that stairs with her, and her giggle was music to Sora's ears.


"Amu Hinamori?" Nikaidou asked, holding the attendance list.

Emily raised her hand and talked without being called on, "Nikaidou-sensei, Amu-Chan and Sora-Kun will be late today, Inori called them into the office early this morning."

Utau rolled her eyes at the preppy brunet. "I beat, is it because of their secret affair?"

Emily turned to glare at the rivaling blond singer as whispers started to go around the room, "Excuse me? Secret affair? Who gave you that idea? Yuki? She isn't that smart you know."

In return, the said girl Yuki- glared at Emily. "Smart that you Toma."

"Oh shut it." Emily snapped at Yuki, the two females glaring at one other.

"Emily."

"Utau."

Ikuto and Shin called at the same time, sounding equally annoyed at their sisters. For a brief second they glanced at each other, rolled their eyes and returned to what they were doing beforehand. Shin drawling in his note book and Ikuto grading people's tests.

"Gomen! Sorry we are late!" Amu yelled, opening the door and entering with Sora behind her. Ikuto, Utau, and the other guardians all noticed that Amu's face was flushed pink and the way Sora stood protectively behind her.

"Just happy you actually showed up for class-" Nikaidou was cut off by screaming fan girls.

"Is it true you guys are dating?"

"Eh!? Is it official?"

"Amu you lucky girl!"

"You make a cute couple!"

Amu sweat dropped at all the sudden excitement and casted Sora a nervous glance, one that everyone noticed. It was like she wasn't sure herself, but she knew already the answer. Sora though, glaring at Ikuto, who shot nasty looks right back, wrapped an arm around Amu's waist.

"Amu-koi." Sora nuzzled her cheek affectingly getting fan girl cries of amazement. Ikuto on the other hand gripped his pen tightly while the others were amazed that Sora actually was able to get that close to Amu.

"Sora." Amu whispered just for him to hear. "Get to your seat." She said, pushing him off and made her way towards her seat, which was right between Utau and Emily. Great.

As Nikaidou droned on about some lesson, Emily leaned in closely- despite the fact the Utau was carefully listening to every one of their words.

"When did you and Sora happen?" Emily questioned. " I mean, I know you still have issues with that bitc- witch's brother- but?"

Amu gave Emily a look. "She has a name."

"Don't avoid my question."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not!"

It went on like that for about five minutes before Utau stood up, grabbed Amu's arm and hauled her out into the hall way, telling Nikaidou they had something urgent to discuss. Once out in the hallway, Utau proceeded to continue on outside, that was when Amu ripped her arm away.

"Utau, you made it clear-"

"No." Utau cut her off. "You made it clear that we can't help and why is that? We are the ones who have been there for you! What about Ikuto? Do you know how much it pains Ikuto to see you with him?"

Amu sighed, "So that's what this is really about. Sora."

"Amu, there was a time where you really liked Ikuto, and even I knew there was a chance for you both." Utau began to say.

"We lost contact Utau. I tried to keep in contact with him, but once another girl picked up and eventually- I eventually stopped calling and he eventually stopped answering." Amu gave Utau a pleading look. "Please understand."

"That's the thing Amu, I don't understand. I don't get it, and most of all- I don't get my best friend anymore." Utau's voice was softer. "Please let me in Amu."

Please let me in.

"I'm still here Utau." Amu grabbed the singer's hands. "I'm still here."

"Are you though?" Utau whispered. "Because ever since we got back, not once have you contacted us or talked to us since the concert. You're pushing us away- but we want to be there for you."

Amu smiled sadly, "I've been busy lately- with everything. I'm finally recording my own album in two week, writing my songs-"And looking for my dead brother while Ichiru is god knows where. Amu cut herself off before she could say that because that would bring a whole new round of questions from Utau.

Utau's eyes lit up slightly, "I'm happy for you Amu."

Amu noticed the sadden glint in Utau's amethyst eyes, and the next sentence flew right out of Amu's mouth. "Utau, how about you, Ikuto, and everyone else tag along with me and Sora and Ayumu Chika band?"

"Where at?" Utau questioned.

"Not sure." Amu shrugged but smiled. "But I want you all to get to know each other Utau."

"Emily Toma doesn't like me very much." Utau muttered.

Amu waved her hand in dismissal. "Emily is like that sometimes, but once you get to know her she just won't stop talking!" Amu laughed, and Utau realized- this was Amu acting care free. "Now come on Utau- let's get back to class and after school- we can all go do something. Together."

Amu returned to class before Utau who watched Amu walk away. Secrets, that's all Amu had apparently. Utau sighed and shook her head; one day- Amu would tell them when she was ready. All Utau had to do was be patient and be there for Amu from now on. Wither or not Amu liked it or not.

Amu was already sat next to Emily telling her that Utau, Ikuto and the Guardians were coming with them after school. That didn't go over well with Emily who glared at Amu as Utau sat back down into her seat, Ikuto casting her a curious look.

"Are you crazy?" Emily hissed lowly.

"No." Amu chirped happily. "I just feel-happy right now. Emily please gives them a chance. For me at least."

Utau smiled in triumph when Emily huffed out "fine". The school day went by in a blur and the next thing Ikuto knew was that everyone was in the royal garden but separated into different groups. Emily was being her usual loud self, yelling at Sora and Ryou for just being natural idiots. Where Yaya and Kaitlynn were getting along just fine as they talked about sweets and different bands. Rima was casually talking with Tadase as Shin made his way over to the group opposite from his.

"Amu wants us to get along, and I agree with her." Shin was the most mature out of the Ayumu Chika band and that much was obvious. "It would help us a lot with x-eggs too, especially Amu-"

"Shin!" Amu groaned from the side of the room. "They can't help us."

"Why not?" Shin asked with a raised eye brow, waiting for Amu's new lie. "I mean, it's not as if you have something to hide-right?"

He was challenging her, and everyone in that room was paying close attention. Amu instinctively glanced at Sora and he shook his head. Amu then sighed and shook her head as well. "No, Shin- there isn't an issue. I'm sure Utau can help me!"

"There you have it." Shin continued on. "Truce?"

Amu, stop lying to yourself. A voice whispered, and a jolt of pain went through her. She bit back her gasp because it went just as fast as it came.

"Truce." Ikuto agreed. "Now what exactly is it do you have planned for us to do today?"

All eyes turned to Amu who had lodged herself into a conversation with Sora. The two were whispering, something made Amu giggled and Ikuto couldn't help but have the urge just to take Amu away from Sora and hold her in his own arms, but he couldn't- she was actually with Sora. That was the problem.

"Maybe we could stay here and just- talk?" Amu suggested, and got a groan of protest from Yaya and Kaitlynn.

"Something else!"

Amu pondered on the thought for a second before grinning, "Let take them to the spot!"

"The spot?" Tadase repeated.

"Yes! The spot! We haven't been there in forever!" Emily agreed, smirking at Utau- which meant nothing good.

"What's the spot exactly Amu?" Nagihiko asks but only receives a wink from Amu.

"Just wait and see."


When Amu said the spot they all imagined some place with VIP, but quickly learned that both the Ayumu Chika Band and Amu preferred to lay low and stay out of flashy situations. Little did they know- that was exactly how Amu and Sora got into the relationship mess. Instead, Amu and the Ayumu Chika band brought them to secluded abandoned building. When they stepped in, it was on big hang out room.

The walls were painted a light red, pictures and posters tapped up to the walls. In the middle of the room sat a white leather couch that was circular. A white coffee table in the center. Straight head of the couch was a TV, connected to multiple game counsels and a karaoke machine. Off to the far right was a small make shift kitchen with a fridge and overstuffed cup boards.

"Amu-Chan!" Five voices simultaneously said.

"Emily!"

"Ryou!"

"Sora!"

"Shin!"

"Kaitlynn!"

Another five charas shouted there bearers names, flying right for them. Amu fell down when she was tackled by a German Shepherded and laughed.

"Hey Mage." Amu smiled, petting the dog's head. This is where the charas spent most there time- taking care of Mage and redecorating the second floor into their own little kingdom. It was cute. Amu looked over at the Guardians and Ikuto and at Utau. "This is where we usually come on our days off."

"It's here we can get away from the crazy fans." Ryou added, whistling for Mage to come fallow him to the couch.

"How about we get to know each other?" Nagihiko suggested, taking a seat on the couch- shortly fallowed by everyone else.

"Okay, how about this- we turn this into twenty questions." Rima suggested, wanting to get to know Amu's new friends.

"Okay, how about- Utau you go first." Emily suggested, smirking and getting an elbow in her sides from both Amu and Shin.

The circle seating arrangement went like this, Sora, Amu, Emily, Shin, Kaitlynn and Ryou. Facing them from the other side was Ikuto, Utau, Kukai, Rima, Nagihiko, Yaya, Kairi and Tadase. Amu and Utau both glanced to the neko males next them, elbowing them as they glared. When the girls looked away. Sora smirked at Ikuto as he wrapped an arm around Amu- who instinctively cuddled into Sora while she chatted with Rima, who smiled that amu was actually socializing with her.

"Hey, everyone shut up!" Utau says, thinking of a question. "Okay- Emily, have you ever considered working on that really high pitch in your voice that auto tune doesn't work on?"

Emily clenched her fists as Amu sighed, Sora and Ikuto didn't like one and Utau and Emily seemed to really dislike each other as well. The way they bickered and glared, Amu didn't think it would be a smooth ride- but she had hope.

"Well my fans seemed to love it- after I am surpassing you on the billboards. I even think some of your fans are turning into my fans." Emily retorted with a smirk- quickly earning a glare from the other singer.

"Okay enough of that." Amu cut in. "Emily pick someone to question."

Emily nodded and looked at Nagihiko, "I heard you know the most exotic dances. Is that true?"

"Yes." Nagihiko smiled. "I can even teach you some dances, I'm sure you use them in rehearsals."

Emily's eyes lit up, "That would be great! Thank you!"

Rima felt her hand grip Nagihiko's tightly, and after a second he squeezed her hand back and offered Rima a reassuring smile.

"Amu-chan." Nagihiko called the pinkette. "How has your past year been- in honest truth."

Amu was hesitant but Sora gave her a reassuring squeeze. "A lot actually- as I am sure you are aware of the rising amount of x-eggs. Which, have surprisingly be stable lately. Um what else, I have started a solo career- my recording starts in two weeks…. Hmmm what else? My parents and Ami moved to America, my grandmother is- well I'm actually not sure. I meet the Ayumu Chika band and they have been there for me through ruff times."

Amu smiled. "I'm happy you all are back."

Stop hiding

Find Ichiru before he finds you

Pain shot through Amu and this time she couldn't hold it back, she gasped and got everyone's attention. It felt like her head was about to burst, and only once this happened. The ending of it wasn't good- it put someone into the hospital.

"Amu you okay?" It was Kukai who asked.

Amu nodded, "Yeah- just a sudden headache. Kukai- how did you and Utau get together?"

Kukai chuckled, "That obvious huh? Well it happened in France- we were having some sort of eating contest and it just sort of happened from there."

Utau rolled her eyes, "I kissed him, and he kissed back and it just built up."

Just like us. Amu thought that as she glanced at Sora. Funny how it happened to Utau but Amu couldn't ask questions- no one could know that this was a supposed to be fake relationship that was very real. It could ruin the company and their images.

"Shin." Kukai says nodding at the guitarist. "You play sports?"

Shin grinned, "Football, that's all I really play."

"You up for a match in soccer?" Kukai challenged and Shin smirked.

"Prepare for an ass kicking Soma."

Kukai laughed his head off as Shin looked over at Ikuto. "Kitty Cat, how was searching for your father?"

Ikuto glanced at Amu, questioning why she'd tell them something personal to him. "Simply because I wanted to find him, not that you'd understand."

It was silent then in the room, Emily glanced at Shin, and Shin glanced at Emily. Amu shook her head and sighed and Sora frowned at the blue neko were Kaitlynn and Ryou muttered. That.. was a very fragile topic for the twins. Family.

"Ikuto-" Amu began.

"No, it's fine Amu." Shin cut her off. "We would know- our own father left us when we were six for another woman- and our mother went into a deep depression. We found her dead a few weeks later-m cause of death was a medicated drug over dose. So yeah, Tsukiyomi- we know the hardships of family. "

The Guardians sat there silently and Ikuto felt uncomfortable sitting there. He felt guilty- but easily shook that feeling off. It wasn't like he forced the male twin to tell them that- but yet Ikuto provoked it as well. He sighed and decided it didn't matter when he saw Sora whispering into Amu's ear. Ikuto couldn't understand why- why wouldn't Amu let him in. She never let him near her in that much close proximity without yelling. Yet she sat there with a smile and snuggled up to him, and it made Ikuto wonder what it was that Sora had that he didn't? What did he lack?

"Sora." Once the name left Ikuto's lips, Amu stiffened. "How did you and Amu get so close?"

Amu watched Sora give Ikuto a smile, mocking- "I met her my first day here- sat right next to her in class and got to know here. We became close friends- because you know; I was the guy there for her when she needed someone to lean on. Now I am her boyfriend."

Amu clenched her fists, but before she could saw anything Ikuto was already standing and glaring at Sora with so much hatred that it shocked her. Then Sora stood up abruptly- his cat ears and tails already out- including Ikuto's.

"Maybe you are the reason why I couldn't get a hold of her!" Ikuto hissed.

Sora rolled his eyes, "Have you ever considered the fact that maybe she moved on from you? That for her you are the past."

"No, because I know for a fact that she loves me." Ikuto's words hit a cord in her.

"Really now?" Sora asked, pulling Amu up and kissing her roughly, then pulling away to smirk at Ikuto. Amu was pissed off at Sora now, but one question left her wondering. Did she really love Ikuto still? Sure she had feelings still- but love? She wasn't sure because she was with Sora- she liked both neko boys. Maybe that was the fact; Amu had deep feelings for both neko males.

A giggle caught the attention of Amu and those around her as the black laced chara egg floated in front of Amu- cracking to reveal the ebony haired chara.

Emily groaned with the rest of the band. "Great the evil one is back!" Emily whined but received a glare from the ebony chara.

"Cat fetish for sure- Amu's chara has cat ears and a tail." Kukai pointed out to Kilala's ears and tail.

"Kilala." Amu whispered, ignoring the fact that Ikuto and Sora were about to fight. "Why did you hatch?"

"I know you're scared Amu." Kilala's words caught everyone's attention, even the neko boys. "The fact is- you can only contain it for so long. You can't hide-"

"You're not answering my question!" Amu snapped, glaring at the chara. "I am not scared! I just don't want you Kilala!"

Kilala glared right back, and a spark was visible between bearer and chara and put everyone in awe on how exactly Amu was treating this chara of hers.

"You don't mean that." Kilala smirked. "Because if you did I wouldn't be here. And to answer your question, I hatched because you accepted how you felt."

Amu let out a sound of frustration, turning to glare at Sora and gave him a shove and glared at Ikuto. "You two! How dare you guys act like this! It's one thing to fight but it is another to bring in why I did something. Both of you are fucking jealous idiots! Ikuto-" Amu couldn't even look at one of them, she was to pissed. Instead she grabbed her bag and marched towards the door.

"Amu, where are you going?" Sora asked, grabbing her arm.

Amu quickly shoved it off. "Home. At least there I know my idiot boyfriend can be an idiot without me here."

"That made no sense." Emily interjected, shrinking when Amu glared at her.

"Let me make this really clear." Amu spoke to both neko boys. "I am not a prize. I am not an object and I am certainly not someone you can speak for! Do you understand that? And Sora-" Amu looked at him. "I am not an object to make your statements."

With that she swiftly left with Kilala glancing at Kaitlynn. "Tell my sisters we went home- Amu needs to burn off some steam."

"Kilala- wait." Ryou said stopping the female neko chara. "Why does she talk to you like that?"

Kilala gave a small smile, "She's scared to lose control again."

With that Kilala flew off into the night after her pissed off bearer. Leaving everyone there in silence.
"So, I believe this get together is over." Nagihiko says standing up.

"Yup because this bone head screwed up." Kukai added.

Sora shook his head, "No- we fucked up." Sora says.

Yeah, he fucked up big time.


When the first words left the mouths of Kiku and Kiseki, neither one of the proper charas liked one other. In fact, they butted head and argued while the other charas got along and sweat dropping. Kiseki was currently glaring at Kiku, who held her chin high.

"You say you are a king but yet you act like a spoiled child." Kiku says.

"I am your king you commoner!" Kiseki shouted.

Kiku scoffed, "I am not a commoner! I am a lady!"

"If you say so you commoner." Kiseki laughed.

Ran and Miki flew over and covered Kiku's mouth, pulling the teal chara back away from the king chara- who seemed to be agitating Kiku more and more. The muffled shouts of Kiku were easily ignored as Kyo and Nanami chatted away with Pepe and Temari. Minako giggled as she chased Rhythm. Zero and Iru chatted as some of the other chara's played outside.

"She's quite a handful eh?" Danchi asked Ran as she held Kiku so she couldn't talk.

"You have no idea." Ran seat dropped .


Amu slammed the door to her house shut, tossing her bag onto the couch so roughly that the contents spilt out. Muttering curses under her breath and ignoring Kilala's presence, Amu slowly began to pick up her things. As she placed them in her bag, Amu paused at the CD. It was the one Sora gave her earlier that morning. Despite how upset she was, Amu was still curious- so she placed the CD into a CD player and hit the play button.

Turn the music up
A lil' louder, yeah

You had a lot of crooks try'na steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love (how to love)
How to love (how to love)
Mm you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner try'na put it together
How to love (how to love)
How to love (how to love)

Amu smiled slightly at the beginning, she never really seen Sora write a song- let alone sing it and here she was listening to a song he wrote just for her. She shouldn't feel special- but yet she didn't.

Mm for a second you were here, now you over there
It's hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love (had a love)
Never had love (had a love)

When you was just a youngin', your looks were so precious
But now your grown up, so fly it's like a blessing
But you, can't have a man look at you for five seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself so when you got older
It's seems like you came back ten times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder

Amu's eyes widen at Sora's lyrics. She never realized how much he understood her feelings. No wonder why he was so persistent today to give him a chance- he knew exactly how she worked.

See you had a lot of crooks try to steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love (how to love, how to love)
How to love (how to love, how to love)
Mm see you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner try'na put it together
How to love (how to love)
How to love (how to love)

Mm for a second you were here, now you over there
It's hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love (had a love)
How to love (how to love)

No, she always flustered around when a guy looked at her. For example- Ikuto. He always embarrassed her and harassed her, but somehow she liked it and missed it when Ikuto left. The Sora entered her life, and now- she wasn't the same. It dawned on Amu then that she truly had changed. She wasn't the Amu that Utau left that day at the airport- she grown up and held secrets.

Ooh, you had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn't your fault, wasn't in your intentions
To be the one here talking to me, be the one listening

But I admire your poppin' bottles and dippin'
Just as much as you admire bartending and strippin'
Baby, so don't be mad, nobody else trippin'
You see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook

No, Amu never had luck and yes- she could never figure it out. Sometimes she even did sulk in the corners. Not many people tried to steal her heart, but a few had sadly been quite successful in taking it and returning it in broken huffed. Was Sora trying to say that she was depressed in a way and that she didn't know how to love? Did he watch her movements that closely? Amu's eye twitched. She wasn't a stripper. Just what the hell was Sora getting at? IS that what he saw her future as? A damn stripper? This song might just be the death of Sora because this was not her- but maybe she was missing. Yes, she was trying to put it together because this song was just not making sense to Amu at the moment and it frustrated her that she just couldn't get it. Just what had Sora seen in her that she has never seen in herself?

How to love

Tears glistened in Amu's eyes as she listened to it one more time and actually hearing the lyrics. The lyrics held truth, truth that slapped Amu so hard in the face it hurt. Her anger for Sora and Ikuto dispersed like a cloud of smoke in the air. The song was right, Amu accepted as the tears ran down her cheeks. She sat there on the floor, hand on her mouth and as Kilala watching Amu carefully. It was true, Amu didn't know how to love.


That song was just wayyyy to long so I cut it a bit and it is still long! The song doesn't belong to me but to Lil Wayne. I hope you all really enjoyed this chapter because I literally sat on my couch all day typing this while my TV distracted me. It would mean a lot if I could get more reviews on this chapter because I know a lot of you want a scene with Ikuto and Sora fighting- but this is how far as I went this time but trust me- it won't be the last. How about the first scene with Sora and Amu? I'd love to know your thoughts and maybe, for the sake of a wish- get the reviews to 50? That would be great! Now I don't normally do this, but here is a preview to the next chapter.
