Back in the line baby! Lol…

I shouldn't be that high, too much to waste and the same creepy at the time O.o but not to worry 'cuz I'm perfectly fine…(or aren't I?) hehehehe 8D but thanks so so so so much for your reviews, I'm grateful at any rate! Yippie!

Lately I got my spirit back especially on otaku things, ya know…manga and anime…thought I'm just a semi otaku but that's what it likes. Now to the story!

Normal POV

It seems an hour has passed and the party was finally comes to its end. Everyone got out and drove away until the Tsukiyomi's mansion left as a mess and a few people still staying, considering you know who. All the maids and butlers do their jobs as cleaning the entire place, well they were considered as backup's service, such a poor occupation but without them…rich people lost at words.

Ikuto and Yoru just head back to the private changing room and came out again casually dressed, they still have that smirk after what happened. When the two crossing the hall, they got cornered by the three populars (A/N: I just realized that Tadase hasn't made another appearance awhile, perhaps later?) they glared at the two shameless people. Utau is the first to speak.

"Feel better yet?" her tone shown no hint of kindness neither with polite, she's all become rude or her devil side reveal

"Maybe" a word that only vowed by Ikuto, flatly

"Shame on you two! And Yoru, you should respect how Amu would feel about that…she seems entrust you as 'not a bad' person you know that?" Utau scolded the younger boy who hid behind Ikuto like a child who has a phobia

"But it was fun nya~! She would just get used to it-NYAAAAAA~" Yoru cringed in pain after a sharp blow on his head by the hard knuckle of Utau's

"Come with me!" the blond girl dragged him outside for another scolding and some advises, meanwhile for the boys…

"Ikuto," Nagihiko exhaled "I should've known you will do something inappropriate to Amu-chan but do you really have any manners? I mean Tsukiyomi Ikuto, a child who inherited nobility from his family and quiet popular among regular people…just did something unbelievably humiliating!" the boy harden his stare on the teen's expressionless face

"Really dude? Making fun out of period? Cih! There's nothing funny about it" Kukai forced a smirk, the one that showing you get annoyed

"Better settle the situation with Amu-chan unless…if you want something much worse happen later in times" a vein popped on Nagihiko's head, he clearly reached his limit "I'm going back!" he turned and walk steadily with his hair flowing gracefully

"Oh right, Nagi? I think several days later Seiyo High will held a summer trip, right? I surely can't wait!" Kukai looked back at Ikuto with a glint of darkness "Hope probably anything will work out just fine" then the boy followed his friend behind but Ikuto let out a 'tch' sound in replied

"Tsukiyomi!" well what do you know? The small blond still around the place, bet Utau still on her scolding time with Yoru

"Catch!" Rima threw a handbag of the leftover cookies from the party, she then smirk "You must try it, 90% of the guesses love it" she suggested instead of throwing tantrum out on him

"And why should I?" Ikuto observed the cookies through the transparent handbag before Rima deviously smiling

"Just do what I say, it's handmade cookies by your geek companion…" now Rima spun so her back facing him "by the way, didn't anyone tell you that today is when Amu turn 17? Heh! You're so slow unexpectedly" Rima waved at him without looking back

In the empty mansion, Ikuto left alone and shocked by what did Rima just said back there. Now it completely make sense why Amu truthfully hurt thought it actually hurt even this day wasn't her birthday. But what's this? Ikuto felt a small guilt? Hmm…if you think about it he might be but the boy won't show that now will he?

Nahhh…he's obviously the best poker face!

~At the car~

Both the two blonds found Amu already curled up into a ball inside Utau's car on the back seat. Sadly, Amu looks very lifeless and just like something came out from the dead world, terribly pale. Rima and Utau worried so much that this would take any longer like a month or so, they still thinking of their second plan for Amu if the pool party won't work. But before any ideas, Utau's mind snap just not in the right time.

"Rima~" she sang her name

"What?" the girl obnoxiously asked, feeling disturbed

"Your payment?" the violet eyed girl gesturing her hand, Rima confused but then she remembers about their bet

"Oh darn!" the petite curly blond dug in her pocket and gave her money to her friend "There, that should be enough" she pouted because she lost the bet

"It certainly does" Utau replied happily

"A bet huh?" Utau's and Rima's head turned to Amu who has just spoke with soar voice after crying for such a long time

"Yeah, it's for fun and nothing more or less" Utau sweetly smiled at her pinkette best friend, her true smile

"Just what she said," Rima mimicked Utau's sweetness that it made her annoyed "oh Amu…how about a sleepover tonight at Utau's?" Rima asked out of the blue

"Huh? Oh uhm…I guess maybe?" both blonds smiled but Utau held her hand tightly, still in smiling mood

"Great! We'll have fun for the rest of the night and you sure won't get lonely, let's make it an official slumber party for us" they all high-five cheerfully and Amu just forgot about what she thought

"But my clothes are-" Utau butt in for the several times if you count before that

"We'll stop by your house first for you to pack all the stuffs you need then to Rima's before to mine" briefly she answered with a dark aura Rima behind her pouting

"Mou ika" Rima whispered so that Utau won't hear her (A/N: she just said "Another less")

Utau drove out from the parking lot heading to the Hinamori residence. Amu's agreement was not just because she's grieving but she'll also feel lonely at her home because nobody's there since her family went away. Only silence as it's attending the narrow car but Amu's mind were full of thoughts especially regret, it's not one of those that would stay crushed but it's the one that apparently will reveal something new yet strange complication. When Rima busy talking with Utau, Amu's hearings reduce and her vision dim out.


"Ne ne~ Kukai-nii, what are you up to?" a 8 years old Amu appeared in front of the older boy, he grinned goofily

"Ah Hinamori, I was just waiting for Nagi…he should be here any minute" Kukai glanced at his watch while Amu just keep staring at him, dumbfounded

"Nani?" Kukai asked, feeling her eyes drawn into him just now

"Nagi? Nagi-hiko?" he nodded "Yay! I wonder what we will play?" they both was in deep thoughts

"Oh? Hinamori won't be playing with us, you'll get Utau for a company" he smiled but Amu cutely pouted at this statement, she sort of dislikes the diva

"Hmph! Why Utau-nee? She's no more than a devil in disguise, she's the worst!" the pinkette girl admitted to the boy who actually put an interest in her

"O-oh…" Kukai faintly blushed "but she's not as bad as you think, she might look cruel but *amuse* she's like an angel-I mean, sh-she's good…yeah a good girl" his blush deepening that doesn't go unnoticed by Amu

"Why Kukai-nii is red? You have a fever?" this caused a steam blew out of him, glad the little Amu doesn't understand…yet

"A-ah ano…probably the heat from the sun," he pulled the hem of his shirt "but I'm fine!" again he grinned but with a thumbs up, so convincing for little Amu

"Souma-kun! Amu-chan!" the purple head boy just ran on their way with him was the blond devil-like diva who's panting

"Slow down Nagi!" Utau shouted a little from behind him

"Finally you guys came! I thought you two were ditching us" Kukai settled for his nice move to put a little impression to Utau, Nagi noticed except for little Amu

"Ne~ Nagi-chan, what's with Kukai's weird move?" Nagihiko prevent from laughing, he as hard as he could stifled his laughter making his face red

"What is it?" the impatient Utau butt in the moment, Kukai seems a bit embarrassed after what Amu's reaction like, was Utau the same?

"Nothing, well then…Souma-kun and I will go somewhere now while you two have fun!" Nagihiko grabbed Kukai then immediately leave the park, dreadful silence filled the two girls

"Amu" it sent her chills through her spine "Want some ice cream?" slowly the girl just nodded although she wasn't sure

"What flavor?" Utau still parted her gaze from her "Ch-chocolate" seeing her stuttered, Utau let a chuckle slip

"Come on now, don't be so nervous…I'll go buy some and you stay here, okay?" after the blond patted Amu's shoulder she also leave her for the ice cream truck

Amu was left alone once again, she hates being alone. Despite that her curiosity took over she wanders off somewhere not too far from her spot, Amu saw a wooden bench under a pine tree that looks great for relaxing. She sat on it and humming a little song to her heart's content, when she hums by the chorus suddenly a soccer ball rolled over to her feet. Didn't know whose ball is that, Amu took it in hand. She then saw a boy runs toward her but before he even ask to give it back, their gazes were eye to eye.

"Uh…is this…yours?" Amu stretched the ball to him but he barely even move, he still stood there and stare at her

"Hmm…eto…" Amu scratched her head with her index, confuse of what to do "Ha! How about we play together, okay?" Amu beamed such a bright smile toward the stranger boy, he still stood there but in shock state without any words

"Amu!" Utau's voice rang on their ears, this time the boy's bangs covered his face

"S-sorry, I need to go!" he said clumsily

"Wah, wait!" without a glimpse he snatched the ball away and gone so fast before Utau made it in time

"Amu! I told you to stay at place" Utau followed her stare at nothingness "what are you looking at?" she asked with hands full of ice creams

"There was just a boy with blue hair came to take his soccer ball, but then he ran away…" the bemused Amu either with Utau stayed in silence for some seconds before Utau handed her; her chocolate ice cream

"Here" sheepishly Utau mumbled

"Eeh…arigatou, Utau-nee!" Amu wink at her which made the blond turned her face away to hide her blush from the pinkette


"…here Amu" step by step her ears filled with the reality noises but she still stay in daze

"Oi, Amu!" Rima yelled but nothing work, both girls look at each other and nodded so if anything won't work then Rima has to do it right away

*blows* *yelp!*

"Rima! I told you to never did that!" at last the girl herself came back into the real world, where was her mind gone to? Only Amu knows

"*chuckle* you were in your dreamland, calling didn't work so scaring instead…we're trying to say that we've arrived at yours" Rima leaned on the car doors to wait Amu to come out then packing

"Oh, right away…mother" the small girl hissed at the last word, Amu sweat dropped because the girl who loves comedy and gags sometimes can't take a joke

Amu went in her house then upstairs into her room, she replaced her last bag with the new one and some spare clothes to change. When she stuffed some supplies from the bathroom, she wondered. What was I thinking?

Cliffy again guys, I know all of you hate cliffy especially when the update takes too long -O- but now…I'm sleepy…

*THUD*

Ouch! The heck was that for? And, who actually hit me?

O_o

=_='

Oh…it's just my reflex, I banged my own head on the flat table and thought of someone hit me…ignore my habit ^_^'

R&R *hugyou*
