Kukai stared at Amu as she slept. She had started crying in his arms and eventually fell asleep in his arms. He sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. Amu…
"I-Ikuto…." Kukai clenched his fists as he watched his friend twist and turn. He hated seeing her like this. Kukai stood up and grabbed his phone. He walked into the kitchen and leaned against the counter. He opened his phone and dialed a number, bringing it to his ear. He waited as it rang.
"Hello?" a feminine voice asked. Kukai smiled at the voice. "Kukai, what's wrong?"
"She's getting worse, Utau." he said sadly. "I'm really worried about her."
Utau sighed on the other end. "I know, Kukai. Can you believe she thinks its all a dream?"
"What? Well, I can't really blame her, Utau. He's been gone for 4 years, and all of a sudden he appears again? You can't just expect her to welcome him with open arms." he said as he shook his head. He looked back over to Amu and smiled sadly at her.
"I know that. But I was hoping if he came back that she would be happy again. She'll only be happy if he is with her." Utau said. On the other end, Utau had her head in her hands as she thought of Ikuto and Amu. Those two were ridiculous. Before Easter was finished, even though Utau had still loved Ikuto at the time, she knew he would never love her back. She saw the way he always looked at Amu. When he left, she understood it was because he was free. But then, when she saw what it did to Amu, oh boy had she gotten pissed. Ikuto had practically destroyed her best friend. Amu hadn't eaten or left her house for months. She always said she was waiting to see if Ikuto would arrive on her balcony. Utau had almost cried when she saw Amu. Her friend looked so broken. She had gotten a little better over the years, but she still wasn't the same.
"Utau? Are you there? Utau?!" Kukai asked worriedly snapping Utau out of her thoughts.
Utau laughed slightly. "Sorry, Kukai. I was just thinking." she said as she sighed.
Kukai frowned at the phone but then shook his head again. "Okay, Utau…"
A knock on the door cut Utau's laugh short. "I'll be right back, Kukai." Utau walked to the door and opened it, almost dropping her phone as she saw who it was. She then looked back at her phone. "Sorry, Kukai I have to go. I'll talk to you later! Love you. Bye." and before Kukai could respond Utau hung up.
((With Utau))
Utau stared at the boy at her door shocked. "What….are you doing here?" she asked.
Ikuto looked at her with expressionless eyes and walked into the house. "Utau." he said as he stopped in the middle of the room. "What happened when I left?"
Utau closed the door then froze at the question. How was she supposed to answer this? She sighed as she walked over to him, sitting on the couch. "You might want to sit, Ikuto." she said looking up at him sadly.
Ikuto raised an eyebrow but obeyed and sat down. "Now what happened?"
Utau closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Okay, but you're not going to like it." she said. Utau got ready as she knew when she was done with this story, Ikuto wouldn't be too pleased. "When you left, Ikuto…..Amu…didn't take it very well. She didn't eat for months, she never left the house, and she almost killed herself one time." Utau stopped as she hear her brother's intake of breath. She waited for him to relax and continued when he nodded. "She always said she was waiting for you to jump onto her balcony like you used too. But when that never happened, she broke, Ikuto. Amu would have been dead if Kukai hadn't found her and stopped her. She was furious at him. She said that if you weren't with her, then there was no point in living. Kukai almost slapped her for that. He said even though you weren't here, she still had us, and that she wasn't alone. That calmed her down a bit, but it really didn't help a lot." she said as she looked away from Ikuto's sad face.
Utau took another deep breath as she tried to hold back the tears. "I couldn't stand to see her like that. It hurt me so much." she said then glared at him through her tears. "She wasn't the same Amu all because you left without saying anything! You broke her Ikuto! You broke her heart and left her to pick up the pieces. I know you loved her, and I could see she loved you too. But you had to be a coward and leave before you had confessed. It would have been so much easier for her and us!" she yelled her tears streaming down her face.
Ikuto stare at her frozen, his eyes wide. He clenched his fists and looked down so that his bangs covered his eyes. Amu had gone through all that…just because he left? He couldn't believe this…He had hurt Amu so much. He growled as he punched Utau's couch. "Damn it! So that's why she doesn't want to believe I'm really back, huh?" he whispered.
Utau looked at him sadly and touched his shoulder. "Ikuto……Amu's just not ready yet. Give her some time. She still loves you. She's just afraid of getting hurt again."
Ikuto sighed and closed his eyes. "I screwed up big time, huh?" he said a frown on his face. "I need to fix this, Utau. I just have too."
Utau smiled and hugged her brother. "You will, Ikuto, you will. And when you do, I hope Amu slaps you for doing what you did." she said giggling.
Ikuto frowned deeper and glanced at her. "Thanks a lot, Utau.
She smiled and laughed again. "That's what I'm here for, Ikuto."
