No Words

Hiro walked around the palace grounds frustrated, annoyed and mostly, angry. He never got to meet with Amu that day for she left too early for him to catch up to. And to make things worse, he forgot about the Flower Festival just the day before and missed his chance in spending some time with her as well.

"That wretch, thinking he could get ahead of me." He muttered angrily. "He's wrong if he thinks that I've already given up on her. I am not through with him, not until she is mine."

As Hiro was walking along the path, he suddenly saw Kenta speaking with someone who he assumed was Utau. He rounded to a corner and hid himself close to the walls and decided to listen in on their conversation.

"What is he up to?" Hiro asked himself quietly, before he heard the princess's reply to what seemed like Kenta's question.

"I don't know about this Terashima-kun." Utau started "Kukai isn't going to be happy about it. And don't you think I have a right to at least contact my fiancée about this?" she asked him.

Kenta sighed. "Utau-chan, I told you, this is a part of the "rules" that was set by the kingdom leaders and I'm not breaking anything."

"Yes, but still. I refuse to follow their arrogant little demands." Said Utau. "If you think I'm some kind of puppet you can play with then you're highly mistaken."

"It's nothing like that at all." Said Kenta with a small smile "I've never thought of you as a prize. All I'm asking is for you to give me a chance. You can even tell Souma-san that I told you to go with me."

Utau looked at the boy in front of her and sighed. She was thinking critically about the situation at hand. It was too much of a shock to process at first, but once it sank in, Kenta's request was simple. He wanted her to go somewhere with him for the day, in short, he wanted a date.

"Look, I just don't want any trouble. For you and me both." Utau told him "And I don't want to make it look like I'm betraying my fiancée."

"But you aren't." said Kenta. He wanted her to agree with him, even if it was just for this one time. "It was my request after all."

"But…" before Utau could muster up another protest Kenta cut her in.

"And besides, did you not tell us that you would comply to a fair fight? I'm not supposed to just let you get away with him. I have a part to play in this as well. I was serious when I said I would fight for you in front of the leaders." Said Kenta seriously.

Utau thought of it again and then she finally decided to give in, but she would definitely tell Kukai about it. She had no intention of hiding something like this from him. And she didn't want news to travel that she never gave Kenta a time of day, especially after what went on with the kingdom leaders.

"Fine. I'll go with you." Said Utau.

"Really?" Kenta asked, shocked, but happiness evident in his voice.

"Yes. But, I have my own rules, and you better not try anything funny." Said Utau seriously.

"I promise that you won't regret this Utau-chan! Thank you!" said Kenta with a smile "I'll meet you down by the entrance in a few minutes if you will." And with that he ran off, leaving Utau to heave a heavy sigh.

Utau started walking off to change into more appropriate clothing as she asked herself "Did I make the right choice? Hm, and when did he start calling me Utau-chan?"

To say Hiro was interested in the sudden turn of events was an understatement. He was quite overwhelmed as well. To think his little brother would make a move so suddenly. He smiled as he walked off to the direction of their room and reminded himself to definitely ask Kenta for further details. "Things suddenly got interesting…very interesting…"

With Ikuto and Amu

Amu was currently listening to Ikuto play his violin. They were in their secret place where no one else would find or disturb them. She relaxed as she listened to the melodious tune coming from said instrument and of course from the person playing it as well. Ikuto had his eyes closed but he didn't need it open to know that she was listening and that she was definitely enjoying it. As the last notes were played Ikuto finally opened his eyes to see Amu smiling at him softly.

"Looks like you enjoyed that." Ikuto said with a smile as he placed his violin back into its case.

"I did. Ikuto, you're getting even better." Said Amu and then she laughed softly, "I just hope it doesn't start to boost your ego and get into your head."

"Aw, I'm hurt. Are you saying I have a big head?" he asked her with a mock-hurt look on his face.

She stuck her tongue out at him and replied "Don't you already have a big head?" she asked.

"Again, I am hurt." He told her. He approached her and enveloped her in a hug, to which she had a hard time freeing herself from.

"Oi Ikuto, what are you doing?" she asked as she tried to wriggle herself free.

"Is it wrong to hug you? No one's here anyway, I thought you'd be used to it by now." Said Ikuto with light chuckle.

"I am, but…you always keep catching me off guard." Said Amu, her voice a mere whisper now. She was still embarrassed, and that something that he never failed at making her do.

Ikuto smiled and then adjusted his hold on her, to make her relax a bit more. Once that he felt that she was no longer tense within his hold, he relaxed as well and simply enjoyed their current state.

"Better?" he asked.

"Hmm." Was the only response that he got, but he knew that she was content.

For a moment, things were silent and no words were needed to be exchanged between them. They knew how the other felt, and no one said anything to the other. But then, the moment was suddenly disturbed when they heard sudden footsteps nearby.

"Who's there?" Ikuto asked, alertness suddenly evident in his voice as he held Amu close.

"Calm own Ikuto, it's just me." Out came Utau and she was alone, as she always was when she came. Aside from herself and Yoru, no one else knew about this place, and they were relieved that it was going to stay that way.

"Utau!" Amu exclaimed as she came to hug her friend.

Utau smiled as she hugged Amu back and then began to walk around the green area. "Seems like you two were having a moment. Sorry to have interrupted." She saw Ikuto's violin and immediately known what was going on.

"It's nothing, since you're here now anyway." Said Ikuto, but he meant no malice with it. "So, what brings you here?" he asked her. All he needed was to take one look at his sister and he knew something was going on.

"Nothing big really. It's just that, I got cornered into going with Kenta to town today, on a date." Said Utau nonchalantly, but on the inside she felt rather annoyed with the idea.

There was a moment of silence followed by a "What?" from Amu, and continued silence from Ikuto, but his face was stone cold.

"Utau, what are you thinking?" asked Ikuto seriously. He wanted to know what had possessed his sister to possibly agree to something like that.

"I had no choice Ikuto, he was persistent, and at the same time, he was using my statement in front of the kingdom leaders against me. I can't just ignore him forever, that would cause havoc with the other observers." Said Utau annoyed "And it's not like I wanted to do it. More like I was left without a choice."

"But, does Kukai know?" Amu asked her.

Utau dreaded that question, or any possible statement to do with Kukai right now. She knew that he'd be upset, and there was nothing she could do to just make Kenta leave her alone. "No, not yet anyway. I just found out about it today. But don't worry, I have no intention of hiding it from Kukai."

"You better not. He has every right to know. And I have to admit, you have to give Kenta credit for not giving up so easily, but that's the same quality of his that makes me want to punch his gut out." Ikuto stated.

"I had no other choice. He made a point, I can't just keep ignoring him forever. And, he won't stop annoying and pestering me until I say yes." Said Utau "So now, I have to go."

"Just make sure you tell Souma, and that you don't fall for the guy." Said Ikuto with a slight grin.

"As if I would." Replied Utau. "Anyway, I just came here to tell you just in case you two come looking for me." She turned her back to them and slowly began to walk back from where she came.

"Be careful." Said Ikuto "I know that you falling for him is slim to none, but remember that he could be up to something."

"Don't worry so much about it for goodness's sake." Utau said with a small smile. "I won't fall for him so easily, and he can't seem to get the idea that I'm taken. I told him not to try anything so don't worry so much about it."

Utau bid them goodbye and then she walked away, leaving the two of them in peace. Ikuto watched his sister walk away from them until she disappeared. His eyes not wavering from the sight of his sister until she was completely gone. Amu had noticed his sudden change of mood and asked "Are you okay Ikuto?"

"Just because she told him not to try anything, doesn't mean he won't." stated Ikuto. He felt something wrong was about to happen and Amu could see in his eyes that he was worried for Utau.

"She'll be okay." Said Amu "This is Utau we're talking about."

"She may look tough Amu, but she's only human." Said Ikuto "And Utau might not look like it, but there are things even she can't control and things that she's afraid of."

"But, she'll be alright won't she?" asked Amu, worry now in her voice.

"She will, as long as Kenta and his wretched brother don't try anything." Said Ikuto seriously. He doubted Kenta would dare try anything alone, but if his brother had told him to do anything, then that would certainly be a problem.

On the other hand, Kenta was waiting for Utau to arrive. He didn't take as quick as he thought he would, save the fact that he had an encounter with his brother on the way. He sighed, he knew that if Hiro found out about his date with Utau, he wuld definitely get ideas. His brother had stated some facts, but his methods weren't to Kenta's liking, but he wondered if he had a choice at all at this point. His words crammed into Kenta's head, their encounter still fresh from his mind.

As Kenta was walking towards the palace entrance to meet with Utau, he suddenly spotted his brother approaching. "Well done Kenta." Hiro greeted with an amused smile.

"Hiro-nii." Kenta greeted, with less amusement than what Hiro had hoped for.

"What's the matter? You don't seem too happy to see me." Said Hiro with a confused look, but the amusement never left his eyes as he looked at his brother.

"It's nothing like that at all Hiro-nii." Said Kenta, he wasn't lying, he was just afraid that his brother was about to tell him something he didn't want to hear right now.

"That's good. For a moment there it looked like you didn't like seeing me here." Said Hiro "But I do have to say Kenta, you deserve my highest praise for what you've accomplished."

"Accomplished?" Kenta asked confused, and rather shocked.

"Why of course. You managed to ask for Utau-hime's company. That, my dear brother, is something truly to be proud of." Said Hiro with a sly smile.

Kenta sighed. Somehow, he knew that it would come to this. "Hiro-nii, I have no hidden intentions for my actions. I really just want to spend some time with her."

"Oh but you do Kenta. If you didn't, you would have taken the liberty to talk to Souma about it. You see, even if you don't admit it, you want the princess to choose you in the end, and that's why you've begun to take such big risks." Said Hiro.

Kenta was silent, he didn't know what to tell his brother at this point. Hiro's smile had widened with his brother's reaction and he continued. "There's nothing wrong with what you're doing. You're simply taking what is rightfully yours."

"She isn't mine Hiro-nii." Kenta stated sadly, and a bit of anger had swelled up within him with the realization of how true that statement was.

"She isn't yours…yet." Said Hiro "But you can make her yours Kenta. You have the ability to do so."

Kenta looked at his brother and then spoke "I have no intention of forcing her to choose me Hiro-nii, but I don't intend to just hand her over either."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that you don't just plan to give her up, but I wonder how long you can last with such noble intentions. And I do wonder, if that's how you truly feel." Said Hiro "After all, it'd be such a shame to lose her to someone as lowly as Souma, seeing as you have much better promise for her, and you can offer her so much more."

"What are you…" Kenta was shocked and wanted to ask his brother what he meant, but before he could Hiro simply walked passed him, and walked away as if nothing happened. As they passed each other, his brother's last words still echoed in his head "Think about it Kenta, and think carefully…"

Now, as Kenta arrived at the entrance, occupied by all his thoughts, he didn't notice Utau approach him. "Terashima-kun, are you alright?" he heard Utau ask him, snapping him out of his dazed state.

"Oh, Utau-chan! Please call me Kenta." Kenta looked at her, and to him she looked absolutely stunning. "You look beautiful." He said with a small, sincere smile.

Utau's eyes widened as she looked at him, it was as if in that moment, Kenta was like the splitting image of Kukai. His smile was so much like Kukai's it was nauseating that she felt something when Kenta smiled. Her face heated up a bit and she muttered a small thank you.

Kenta saw the reaction and he smiled wider, but in no sinister way. "Uhm, shall we get going? We wouldn't want to be out so late."

"Of course." Replied Utau. She was still a bit stricken by what had happened and she mentally cursed herself for blushing.

So, the two had headed for the town for the day, and Kenta had been nothing less of a gentleman for the whole duration of their trip. Opening doors, carrying things for her, and never leaving her alone, he was with her the entire time, and as much as Utau didn't want to admit it, she was having fun.

"So, where are going now?" asked Utau as she looked around town. There were less people now, since the festival had passed.

"Wherever you want" replied Kenta simply. He was also having the time of his life.

"Hm, what about something to eat." Said Utau. She was a bit hungry and tired from walking all over the place.

"Alright then. Do you have any specific place where you want to eat?" asked Kenta as he looked at her.

"Well I…" before she could answer, voice had suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"Utau?" Instantly, Utau felt mortified. She turned and saw a shocked and hurt Kukai looking right at them.

"Kukai…" she didn't know what else to say. She was caught and she felt like dying right there.

Kenta immediately noticed the tense atmosphere and spoke up "Souma-san, I hope you don't mind, but Utau-chan and I are busy as of the moment." Kenta didn't know what came over him, but he felt rather smug all of a sudden.

Kukai's hands suddenly balled into fists and he had the urge to punch Kenta in the face, but his consciousness got the better of him and he tried his best and remained as calm as possible. "I see, then I hope you enjoy your day." He looked at Utau, his face bearing no emotion but his eyes showed hurt and he felt betrayed.

"Kukai! Wait!" Utau tried to call him back, but he was already walking away and he couldn't bear to turn around and look at her without one of them getting hurt.

Kukai heard his name being called, but he knew that it was best if he didn't turn back. He knew he would regret it if he did. He continued to walk back to where he came from and passed Rhythm's shop. He had originally come from the market and was buying supplies when he decided to walk around town and come back for his stuff as Rhythm prepared everything, he wished he hadn't gone for that walk, so he didn't have to see Utau laughing with Kenta.

"Kukai?" he refused to face the person speaking, but he knew who it was. It was Rima, and she if she was here then that usually meant that Nagihiko was here too.

"…" he stayed silent and didn't know how to reply.

"Oi Kukai! Stop acting like you didn't hear me!" Rima told him, but he still refused to face her.

"Rima-chan?" It was Nagihiko this time, and Kukai knew he heard her. "Is everything alright? I heard you yelling."

"It's Kukai. Something's wrong with him and he's ignoring me as if I'm not here." Said Rima.

"Souma-kun?" Naigihiko was now facing him, he knew that. Kukai still refused to look at them. "Is everything alright?"

"I need to be alone right now." Said Kukai, and that was the only thing that he said before walking away.

"Wait! Souma-kun!" Nagihiko called after him, but even he knew that there was no way Kukai would just suddenly turn back.

"What the heck happened to him?" asked Rima confused.

"I think I know." Said Nagihiko as he set his sights on a pair in the distance. Even where he was standing, he saw Utau there with Kenta, and Nagi knew that she had followed Kukai, but for some reason didn't approach him.

"Utau?" Rima saw them too when she turned to look at the direction Nagi was looking, and she suddenly felt uneasy. "What's she doing here with that prince?"

"I don't know, but whatever the reason, I'm sure it has something to do with how Souma-kun was acting." Said Nagihiko, and he was so sure of himself that he was willing to bet his life on it.

"She has a lot of explaining to do." Said Rima. She knew that whatever Utau did, she didn't mean to hurt Kukai, but seeing the pair standing there, she had a gist on the possible thoughts flowing through Kukai's head at the moment he saw those two together.

"Leave them for now. I suggest we see how Souma-kun is." Said Nagihiko as he turned away from the pair and ushered Rima into the direction that Kukai had gone "Explanations will come at a time, right now, let's fix what we can."

Rima followed suit, right after glancing at Utau and seeing hurt in her eyes. Whatever happened, she knew that no words were needed to see how hurt both parties were. It didn't need a genius to see that.

Utau had indeed followed Kukai, and Kenta being how he is refused to leave her alone. She couldn't believe he saw them together, and he finally got the wrong idea. As much as she hated to admit it, it was also her fault as it was Kenta's. She was having fun, that going over to Kukai's and telling him about the situation had completely slipped her mind. She felt terrible, but she also knew that he had to understand her side of the story sooner or later.

"Utau-chan, I don't see why we have to follow him." Said Kenta.

Utau stopped and looked at Kenta with a cold glare "My fiancée is currently avoiding me because of this scenario! Has that slipped your mind?" she asked angrily.

Kenta was a bit shocked and then he gritted his teeth in reply. "Why? Why do you try so hard? Am I not enough?" he asked so suddenly, he didn't even have time to stop his own words.

"Excuse me?" Utau looked at him bewildered at his sudden outburst. "Is this what this is all about? To win me over?" she asked furious.

Kenta immediately regretted what he said "N-no…of course not…"

"What?" Utau asked confused. She was too confused. One minute he was so angry, and so sincerely sorry the next. She didn't know if he had some sort of split personality or if he was seriously like this on a normal basis.

"Utau-chan I…" he didn't get to finish when she cut her off.

"Look, we'll talk about this some other time. I don't need any of this right now. What I need is to find Kukai." Said Utau as she ran off to some other direction, leaving Kenta standing there alone.

He didn't even bother to follow her or even call for her name, he knew she wouldn't come back. He watched as she disappeared with the small crowd and then he started walking away. "I lost…for now. I won't give her up to you Souma…I'll never just give her up. You win…for now." Kenta didn't know where the pent up anger came from, but as much as he didn't want to feel the resentment and hate that he began to harbor against Kukai, he knew there was no way of stopping it now.

Back In the Palace

Ikuto had gone back inside the palace with Amu. The two of them had decided to stay in today and just enjoy each other's company. Luckily for them, they had no bumps with Hiro recently and Ikuto would give anything to have things stay that way. But of course, luck isn't to be on your side forever. They were in the garden, just enjoying each other's company when Hiro suddenly arrived.

"Well, isn't today a lovely morning." Said Hiro approaching the two.

Ikuto shot him a direct glare and Amu simply gave him a small smile. She didn't want to see him, but she couldn't tell him that, at least not if she didn't want some kind of fight to break out.

"What are you doing here?" Ikuto hissed.

"Why the face? No need to start a fight where it's not needed." Hiro stated. "I only wanted to see Amu-chan."

"Amu? Why her?" asked Ikuto. His eyes still cold and dead as he looked at him.

"Why me?" asked Amu shocked as well.

"I'm quite sure that I made my intentions clear, yes?" Hiro told them "I am not here to just sit around and do nothing."

"Hiro-san…" Amu started "Are you really planning to take me away from Ikuto?"'

Ikuto stared at Amu, rather startled with the sudden question, but didn't say anything. "I want to know…what is that you want." She asked him again.

"Well, to be frank, yes. Taking you away from him is my intention, but I don't plan on doing it without proving to you that I am worthy of you, much more than he is." Said Hiro as he looked at Amu seriously.

"…" Amu stayed silent for a while and then sighed "Would it be too hard for you to just give up on me? I…I'm happy with Ikuto and…"

"I will never give you up to him!" Hiro suddenly exclaimed. His face was hard and cold, seriousness filled his eyes.

Amu and Ikuto stood there shocked at his sudden outburst. "Hiro-san…"

"Why? Why can't you see that I can offer much more for you? I can make you happy." Hiro's voice remained serious, but he watched his tone, so as not to scare Amu.

"I am happy." Amu stated simply.

"No, I know I can do better for you." Said Hiro "I'm sure of it."

"But why me?" asked Amu. "Why not anyone else? Surely there's someone else in your life?"

"No one. No one else has been plaguing my mind after I met you." Said Hiro as he looked at her "Why don't you remember?"

"Remember?" asked Ikuto and Amu at the same time.

"Remember what?" asked Amu confused. Have they met before?

"You've met before?" Ikuto asked Amu shocked. Why hadn't she mentioned this to him?

"Believe me, I would have mentioned it if I knew what he's talking about." Said Amu as she looked at Ikuto and Hiro.

"She has no idea what you're talking about. Want to explain?" Ikuto stated as he looked over at Hiro.

"I don't need to explain myself to you." Hiro told them "I don't need to force you to remember. I'm quite sure that you will, in time. Right now, my best intention is to make you realize that I can make you happier."

"If you think you can just waltz in here and take her away from me, you've got another thing coming." Said Ikuto with a smirk "Amu here won't go with you."

"…" Hiro looked at his two companions and then chuckled "I'm sorry but that isn't enough to discourage me."

"I'm not trying to discourage you when I know you haven't got a chance." Said Ikuto.

Hiro laughed and replied "Are you certain about that? I'm not the one to give up. Other than myself, my brother is also making a move. Don't underestimate us. In fact, I think my younger brother already has a head start."

"Excuse me?" Ikuto asked, and he immediately knew that Utau was somehow involved in this, and Kukai too.

"What did you do to them?" asked Amu, suddenly worried.

"I did nothing. Whatever happens to them is in Kenta's hands, not mine." Said Hiro.

"You tell your brother to leave my sister alone." Said Ikuto seriously.

"I will tell him no such thing. And do not worry, Kenta isn't doing anything illegal. We talked about this in front of the kingdom leaders remember?" said Hiro.

"Will you stop using them as some kind of excuse to do whatever you want?" stated Ikuto, Hiro was already getting on his nerves and he had to resist the ability to punch him.

Hiro smiled, deep down, he loved seeing Ikuto mad at him. It gave him more reason to annoy the man in front of him. "Anyway, I didn't come here for such pointless banter." He moved closer to Amu "All I want, is to win your heart." And with that, he took a hold of her hand and planted a kiss on it.

Amu blushed, both through embarrassment and the shock of such actions, Ikuto on the other hand wanted nothing more but to pummel him to death, but decided on his better judgment not to.

"H-Hiro-san…please let go…" stated Amu as she pulled her hand away.

"Hmm, it's alright. I'm not too keen on speaking with you about these things with him around." He stated referring to Ikuto.

"Then why not leave?" suggested Ikuto through pent up anger.

"Gladly." Replied Hiro with a smile "I'll be back soon Amu-chan. I will speak with you again…privately."

"You won't get the chance…" muttered Ikuto.

As they both watched Hiro walk away, Ikuto's blood was boiling, and Amu could feel it. She knew that this was not the last time she would meet him. And she wondered what he meant by her "remembering". After all, she doesn't recall seeing him before, or has she?

Once Hiro had disappeared, Ikuto and Amu immediately heard sounds of sniffling and footsteps that came with it. When they looked over to the garden entrance, there stood Utau, with flowing tears in her eyes.

"Utau!" Amu cried as she went over to hug Utau "What happened to you? Are you alright?" This was the first time she saw Utau like this, and she turned frantic.

"Utau…" Ikuto approached his sister and gave her a hug when Amu had let go, allowing Ikuto and Utau to have their moment.

Once she was hugged by Ikuto, she let her tears flow freely and she cried even harder. "Hey, it's going to be okay Utau, you'll see." Ikuto comforted her as much as he could, and he knew that whatever happened had "Kenta" writted all over it.

"No, it won't…no it won't." Utau stated through her tears and heavy breaths.

"Shhh, calm down, tell us what happened." Stated Ikuto as he hugged his sister tighter.

By this time, Lulu and Tadase had showed up, with Yoru and Kairi. They had all heard the sounds coming from the garden and were shocked to see a crying Utau in Ikuto's arms. "What happened here~nya?" asked Yoru worried.

"Utau-chan, what happened? Did something happen between you and Souma-kun?" asked Tadase.

Hearing Kukai's name made her tear up even more. "I hurt him, I can't believe I hurt him like that, how could I? Why? You were right Ikuto, I shouldn't have accepted." she said through her sobs.

"How? I doubt that Souma-san would get mad at you just like that." Said Lulu, and she was right. None of them knew of what Kenta had done, and none of them saw the hurt that Utau saw that was reflected in Kukai's eyes.

"I hurt him, I didn't tell him about Kenta and about me spending the day with him. He looked so hurt Ikuto, and…and I hid everything from him." Said Utau.

"You didn't have time to tell him." Said Ikuto "It's not your fault if he saw you with Kenta."

"But I was happy, I was having fun, I can't deny that Ikuto. But I felt nothing for Kenta, it must have looked like something to Kukai, but I wasn't able to explain." Utau wanted to talk to him, but when she got to their home, Daichi had told her that Kukai went off somewhere and wasn't home yet.

"Utau…" Ikuto didn't know what to say. He knew his sister was hurting. Maybe on the one hand, Utau never should have agreed to go out with Kenta without Kukai knowing, but on the other hand, he couldn't blame his sister for what had happened.

Amu placed a hand on Utau's shoulder and spoke "Utau, maybe it would be best if you went to Kukai's place tomorrow and explained things to him. I'm sure he would understand."

"That's true. Souma-san isn't the kind of person to simply pass judgment without having to hear everyone's side of the story. I'm sure he was just…hurt." Said Tadase, he would be hurt too if he suddenly saw someone he loved with someone else.

"I'm sure he knows that you were hurt too, he just needs some time to think about things." Said Kairi.

Utau simply nodded. She did intend to speak with Kukai, and she couldn't get the look on his face out of her head. "I just want to talk to him. I want to tell him that I love him…" muttered Utau softly to herself.

"Everything will be okay." Replied Ikuto. He trusted Kukai, and he knew that he wouldn't hurt Utau in any way, especially not on purpose.

"Come on Utau, let's all get some rest, you need it right now." Suggested Amu.

"She's right. You need to get some well earned sleep." Agreed Ikuto. "Everything will be fine Utau."

She nodded and let herself be carried in her brother's arms. "Come on everyone, let's all get going." Ikuto told them as he lifted Utau into his arms.

The others followed as Ikuto carried Utau into her room. They were all worried about what had happened, but they were sure that Kukai and Utau just needed to talk things out. They only hoped that things would work out for the better.

As night approached, no words needed to be shared. Utau had cried herself to sleep that night, hoping that Kukai would hear her out. Ikuto had silently been looking out his bedroom window wondering what Hiro was planning. Amu had drifted to sleep hoping things would work out for all of them. Kukai had a hard time sleeping, his thoughts corrupted with what he had seen and hoping that Utau would provide him answers and he knew that even he needed to give her an apology for his actions. Kenta had silently been thinking of ways to win Utau over, and a way to apologize as well. As for Hiro, he only thought of his next step, and was sure that he had a goal set in mind. He wanted Amu, and he wasn't going to give up.

That night was filled with no words, no one needed to speak to convey one's emotions. Everything was done through thoughts and even emotions. No words were needed to remind them of the love, anger, frustration, sadness and deep emotions that everyone felt. Whatever had happened was enough, and no words were needed to express their hope for a better tomorrow. No words, none at all.
