Amu's family threw an engagement party for them just because they wanted to, Tadase was okay with it but he hadn't proposed to Amu so that's why Amu was so eager for him to propose in chapter one. Ah! I read your story! It was awesome XD Give your Aunt my regards! I hope both of you manage to catch this update!)
Now this chapter is dedicated to Storm Skyress and her Aunt! Two of my special readers whose reviews never fail to let me smile!
) Meet My Guardian Angel (
I wanna be drunk when I wake up,
on the right side of the wrong bed, and every excuse that I made up,
tell you the truth I hate, what didn't kill me,
It never made me stronger at all.
"Don't be ridiculous. What are you going to say if she saw you like that?"
I didn't want to admit it, no…it was more like I already knew. She was right.
As soon as I was out of sight, I stifled a groan. I know that I said I was fine, but who am I kidding?
I stumbled toward my room through the hallway. For some reason, every step that I took felt like a heavy burden. Why did it look like shadows were eating the walls?
Starting a few days ago, everything seemed darker than I remembered it was…...Something's definitely wrong with me...
I struggled to open the door, I must have looked crazy in my hurry to get away and lock myself up in my room.
I knew that the whole area outside was bigger than where I was headed, but I couldn't have felt more constricted or oppressed than right now. I desperately needed my own space, before I break down.
As I finally managed to turn the knob, I leaned against the door in relief and wiped my sweaty hands on my jeans. Why did it feel so hot in here? Now even the room was closing in on me…
I was surprised when I heard a soft strangled cry of pain, but it took a moment before I realized it came from me.
I felt tired, I was fed up, and every single breath I took was painful.
When will it be over?
I tilted my head back looked blankly ahead at a pair of sad golden eyes staring at me.
I found myself focusing at her, memorizing the contours of her beautiful solemn face, just the way I remembered it to be.
"What are you doing here?" I whispered exhaustedly.
Nothing came out of her mouth; she only lifted her cold hands and clutched my face.
Then she hugged me, hugged me as I closed my eyes and sobbed.
"I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…" I rasped out.
I'm sorry for being a misfortune. I'm sorry for not being able to protect any of you. I'm sorry for being such a despicable person.
But what did I do wrong? What did I do to deserve this?
Everything. I brought it upon myself.
Every single day I force myself to get up when all I wanted to do was die. How is everyone doing now that I'm gone? They must be happy; they must be celebrating how great it is for me to disappear from their lives. That was what they wanted right?
I let out a sarcastic laugh.
Everything was fine before. But now…why did I have to suffer for everyone else? Why did I have to take the blame? Was it because I knew they'd be happier without me? Because they didn't need me?
Yes, because if you never entered their lives none of those horrible things would have happened.
No….I didn't do anything wrong….
But why won't anyone believe me?
Why can't someone understand me?
"Why?" I choked out to her.
But when I opened my eyes she was gone.
I was hallucinating.
I was alone and it was frustrating.
I sluggishly got up and slumped beside the bed as I rummaged around my sidetable's drawers, until I found what I was looking for.
A pair of sharp scissors.
I wanted to do it because everything ached; my life was nothing but a disaster. I needed an outlet for my pain….Surely no one would care if I had a few cuts….
My eyes blurred as I placed the cold metal on top of my skin and shivered.
"Don't." I heard a voice as quiet as the wind.
My eyes shut tightly and tears escaped. The scissors fell to the ground.
I couldn't do it so I cried.
Why did it have to be my fault?
Why?
I don't know how much time passed when I ran out of tears and mustered up the strength to stand.
I still felt awful if not worse. My mind tricking me wasn't really helping either.
As I wearily opened the lights to the bathroom, I tried to avoid looking into the mirror, just as I've done for the past few weeks. I was sure I looked like a broken ragdoll come to life.
I scrubbed my face like never before and brushed my teeth till my gums bled, but today, I couldn't resist the temptation of seeing my own reflection.
When I did, I was greeted by a person who wasn't me.
I had sunk myself to the depths of oblivion. Through the course of a few weeks, my hair had lost its shine, my complexion had become as pale as death, and dark circles surrounded my blank eyes. Even my cheeks have become hollow.
What had I done to myself? I stared at the mirror in horror.
I had become a skeleton, a shell of the person I was. This…this wasn't me…
"This isn't me at all…." I backed away and slumped down to the cold tiles of the bathroom.
What would she say if she saw me?
Sure I avoided food as much as I could, and I deprived myself of sleep because of nightmares…but did I really degrade myself to this…this ghost? I can't believe I even entertained the thought of hurting myself a few moments ago…
A knock broke through my internal reverie and I jumped in surprise.
"If you suddenly decide to eat dinner, it's outside."
I calmed my racing heart as the footsteps slowly faded away.
I sighed. The thought of food still made my stomach churn uncomfortably and I swallowed the urge to puke the unexisting contents of my stomach.
My bony hands gripped the sink for support as I pulled myself up. Such a small feat should have been easy but the lack of nutrition in my body was taking its toll.
If I really kept doing this to myself…..I shuddered.
It was time to wake up. I had to fix myself before it's too late, before I lose my mind, or else everything I've been through, everything I've endured would be for naught.
I'll be wasting myself away, and regretting it.
I'll never see her smile again, or any of my loved ones and my memory will only give pain.
I don't want that to happen…..
They might not need me now, but what if they do in the future? I can still make up for my mistakes….
I forced my legs to take me to the tub and I stripped. It took some time before it was filled with warm water and I quickly sunk my aching body in it, though the warmth of the water soothed my muscles, it also made my skin throb.
I stared blankly at the ceiling, thinking, as steam rose around me and filled the air.
Before long I found myself falling….slowly….into slumber for the first time in days.
Darkness, everything around me was darkness, hadn't I been taking a bath just a few moments ago?
I could feel my body surrounded by the warm water. I tried moving my body but it wouldn't follow. I struggled to open my eyes but it was as if they were glued shut. I could only breathe.
Suddenly I found my head sinking, sinking into the water. I struggled to command my body and for the first time since I arrived here, I could feel myself panicking and my heart thundering loudly in my chest.
No! I don't want to die like this!
My head sunk and I gasped. I struggled as water filled my lungs and I tried to find air to no avail.
I gasped and I choked and I felt myself dying and shaking and hearing someone scream my name.
Bubbles came out of my mouth as I tried to scream 'save me!'
"Ikuto!" I felt myself being pulled out of the water and air suddenly found its way to my lungs. I gasped hungrily.
"Ikuto! Are you okay?" I found myself staring into Ame's golden eyes.
What happened?
I looked around my surroundings and found myself rising from the couch. I was at my home. In Japan…
The blinds were pulled away and a soft light entered the living room. It was probably afternoon already.
I was welcomed by the familiar interior of the house I've been living in for the past three years ….nothing like the place I was in awhile ago.
My eyes went back to Ame's. She was worried.
"I…I think I'm fine…" I rasped out. My throat felt dry and painful. She handed me a glass of water as my hand clutched my throbbing head.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah…" I managed to choke out as I gratefully accepted the glass.
"If you say so…." She remained looking at me with that weird unbelieving expression on her face.
"What?" I told her when I couldn't stand her stare anymore.
"You were gasping and you looked like the color had been drained out your face, you know…" She said.
"I just had a nightmare…" I shrugged it off. But in the back of my mind, I shivered.
It's just a nightmare…
A really scary nightmare at that….
One that I wouldn't want to remember, and it's something meant to be forgotten.
The Ikuto in that dream and the person I was now were two different people.
She knew his mind had drifted off again, when she saw the faraway look in his eyes.
A nightmare, huh?
Tsukiyomi Ikuto sure is mysterious.
What had he been dreaming to shake him up so much to the point he had been gasping like a fish out of water?
I have to find out what bothers him….
But she had to admit, watching a peaceful sleeping Ikuto was cuter than a grumpy awake one, though he really makes weird expressions while he sleeps.
Anyway back to the main point. She inwardly smirked as she finally executed step 1 of her 'getting to know Ikuto and his secrets plan'.
The poor guy, totally unsuspecting.
Man, step 1 was accomplished easier than expected. She just learned new information.
You can easily take advantage of Tsukiyomi Ikuto when he is sleepy.
She slyly shot a glance at the said man.
She's finally going to try and unlock the violin's mystery. Why Utau was worried about letting others know about it, why Ikuto hid it in the attic, and why Ikuto refused to play it.
I'm going to make you realize how much you miss it, idiot.
Hmm…now she has to find a way to break the news to him...
I should spoil him first so he'll be too guilty to say no...
She giggled evilly and Ikuto looked at her like she had just grown a second head.
"Nothing~ I just remembered something funny! Don't you want something to eat?" She asked a little too eagerly.
) Meet My Guardian Angel (
To hell with the world.
He thought as he slumped against the counter of the bar, his hand holding up the shot glass and watching as the light red drink sloshed back and forth.
The music was blaring through the speakers of the club and the colourful lights danced wildly around the people partying on the dance floor. The bar though was desolate except for him, who was drowning himself in alcohol.
Why were women so frustrating?
A man like him could have dated any girl he wanted, with his handsome pretty boy face, but the girl he wanted right now, refused him.
What else could he be lacking? What did Tsukiyomi Ikuto have that he didn't?
All these years, he worked hard to reach perfection, but how come Tsukiyomi gets to have it all first without even lifting a finger?
Everything, it was always Tsukiyomi Ikuto taking it all.
Even now, with his new conquest, he still appears and gets in the way.
Stupid Black cat.
He gulped down the rest of his drink in one shot and called the bartended to give him another glass of the same liquid.
Why did that misfortune have to come back? He could have just stayed were he belonged, in abroad.
But that was three years ago, when he formulated this plan of his.
He actually took advantage of that time to get back at Tsukiyomi, to let him feel the pain of having a person you love stolen.
Unluckily, he forgot that Tsukiyomi would be happy as long as she was happy too, the stupid sacrificing fool that man was.
So he played along for awhile, found another woman who indulged in this cruel game, and then when he was about to lay the final blow, things just had to happen.
That black cat really just had to step in, instead of watching things unfold in the distance! He just had to come to his turf after all this time hiding like a rat!
And now, he just had to steal his newest toy!
He gulped down the contents of the newest glass that the bartender gave him.
Despicable Tsukiyomi Ikuto!
He stared at the empty glass for a moment, spinning it slowly.
He knew he shouldn't order another, if he totally wasted himself, who knows what secrets would slip out from his mouth. He wasn't good at controlling his temper and in handling alcohol in his system.
At that moment, Ame's face appeared in his mind.
Ah well, he didn't care anymore. The temptation was too great.
He found himself calling the bartender again, asking him to give him a strong one before he called Kukai.
Kukai had already been wondering what problems the prince had when he saw the caller ID.
Tadase was a good guy, in all truth, but the man just didn't know it.
Kukai thought of him as a younger brother, but they weren't really as close like he and Ikuto were.
The thought of the other man made him sigh. He seriously missed his old pal.
It took the world not to send him running when he heard Ikuto came back three years ago, as it still was today.
Almost every day for the past three years he had been hoping they'd bump into each other, but that sly cat could hide really well, couldn't he?
He was the reason he and Tadase weren't that close, because of course, he had sensed that tension that accumulated between Tadase and Ikuto. And Kukai being closer to Ikuto…well you know the rest.
Actually it hadn't been that bad before, but over the years of their childhood, there was this unseen tension between the two of them, Tadase and Ikuto.
Seeing as Ikuto was nonchalant and emotionless, and Tadase was quiet, no one really knew what went on between the two of them, or what they were thinking.
They weren't always fighting, as a stranger might have thought. Their relationship had good points.
They were like normal brothers, who occasionally fought, but as time went by, their bond started to fail. The time when one of them would snap was inevitable.
Things they did together became forced.
The only time they actually looked fine together was when Amu was there or—
The constant ringing broke his trail of thought and he answered the phone quickly.
"Hello?"
Loud music boomed through the device, and his ears strained to hear the voice on the other side of the line.
"Tadase?" He repeated loudly.
"Kwukaii…" He finally heard the obviously slurred words of the man on the other side of the line.
"What are you doing? Where are you?" Kukai quickly grabbed his car keys and looked for his car.
"Mhmm…I…I'mmatttt a clubb…" Kukai furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing the other man's statement.
It isn't everyday when Hotori Tadase calls him, but when he does, it's because he's drunk?
"Okay? Which one?" He replied as he heard a voice of a woman on the other line, which made him roll his eyes.
"Hhmm….the wonee…hm..att the kworner of theeee coffee block? I thinkkkkkk yoou wentt hwerre onceeeeee..." Kukai almost slapped his forehead. What happened to Tadase? Good thing Kukai was smart or else no one could've understood the drunken prince's directions!
Who knows what could happen to that guy in there?
If one of the girls knew that the prince went to the bar during this critical time for Amu, they might jump to conclusions especially since bars have lots of women.
That idiot prince…He shook his head as he arrived at the destination.
As soon as he entered the black doors with neon signs above it, he immediately heard the loud pounding nightclub music that he heard from the call and the place reeked of smoke, sweat, and alcohol.
He had to do a double take for a moment and cough.
It wasn't his first time going to this bar, but it had been a long time since he last paid a visit to one, considering he had absolutely no reason to come.
Seriously, what could sweet, innocent little Tadase be doing here?
He tried to stick near the wall and away from the throng of sweaty people on the dance floor as he headed to the bar on the other side of the room, where he suspected the prince would be. Unfortunately though, he kept encountering a few crazy women who can't keep their hands to themselves on the way.
"Hey hottie…" He quickly brushed past that one but before he knew it, another woman had clung to his arm.
"Want a drink? Let's get to know each other…." She whispered to him seductively, and batted her eyelashes. Kukai grimaced.
"Sorry sweetie, maybe next time." He untangled his arm from her vice grip.
"But-" He continued on his way and lost her in the crowd.
Suddenly another woman blocked his way and put her arms around his neck much to Kukai's dismay.
"What's your number? Care to dance?" She had a pretty young face but when she licked her lips and even pouted, she looked really weird.
"No thank you, thanks for the offer though." He tried to give her a smile as he removed her arms around him.
Before he could get away, she grabbed his hands and clung to him.
"Is it because I'm not pretty enough?" Her eyes glistened and she sobbed as she asked him.
Kukai sighed. Now that she wasn't pulling that awful attempt at seduction, he realized that she looked much younger than he initially thought she was.
"That's not it…how old are you?" He asked.
"M-me? I-I'm 20..." She squirmed nervously under his scrutinizing gaze.
"Really? You look too young to be allowed in here." His eyes narrowed.
"Okay, so what if I'm just 17?" she shivered, "No big difference, you still wouldn't want me. What's wrong with me anyway? Even if I try doing what those girls taught me," she sighed, "They're right. No guy wants a girl with a baby face and absolutely no experience in…in doing this stuff." She let go of his arms as tears started streaming down her face.
As Kukai looked at the lost young teenage girl in front of him, he felt sympathetic.
He stepped closer as he hugged her, which caught her in surprise. "W-what are you doing?"
"Comforting you." Kukai put some distance between them and twirled a lock of her light blonde hair.
Her eyes widened and she stopped crying. "How did you get in here?" He started to ask.
She sniffled a bit and looked peevingly at the side. "My sister brought me here after I begged her to."
"Your sister?" She nodded and pointed to a black haired girl wearing skimpy clothes dancing with some girls and guys.
"The one with dyed black hair. See? She's obviously an expert at this or else how does she get all her boyfriends? She's better than I am…" She pointed to herself and her simple conservative clothes.
Kukai sighed, "Hey, look. Remember that I didn't accept your offer? Well, it's because I already have my eyes on another girl, sweetie. I mean I already like someone. So I'm basically taken. It's not because you aren't pretty. You look prettier now than when you liked your lips and pouted."
"Really?" Her eyes shined.
"Yeah. Now, see your sister? You don't have to be her to get a guy who'll like you. Just be yourself. Making yourself look slutty makes you look uglier. Someday, there's going to be a much more handsome guy than me who will fall for your own charms and your personality. This isn't a place for you, only problematic people who haven't found the right path in their life go here."
She smiled, "You know what? I'm always the angel in my house; I'm too innocent unlike my party going sister. Who cares if I'm always slighted by her because I always get good grades and get spoiled by mom and dad while they are disappointed in her for being such a rebellious girl. The only thing that bothers me though is how she can get all these boys who'll do anything for her even after she dumps them while despite my pure personality, no one has ever liked me….but you're right, this place is a dump. I thought I should be jealous of her but it's the other way around."
They stood together quietly for a few minutes.
"In fact I hate this place. You were the only decent guy that was actually tempting enough for me to hit on! You say this place is for strays but then why are you here?" She shouted above the music.
Kukai chuckled. "I have to pick up my wasted friend at the bar."
"Oh! That poor drunk pretty boy! I contemplated going to him but I hate drunkards!" She laughed.
"Guess I got to go fix him up then…Go home already!" He said as he started walking away.
"Wait! What's your name mister?" She caught up and gave his her cell phone.
He chuckled. "Kukai!" He yelled when the music became louder and then he punched in his number.
"Okay! Mister Kukai! I'm Eru! I'll call you if ever I need something!" She smiled before she disappeared back into the crowd.
What a charming young girl. He thought, at least not all women in this place were crazy and desperate.
After the most tiring journey in his whole club life, he finally reached the stupid bar considering all those lady obstacles.
It was weird though because he found his friend in a compromising position with a woman who was obviously trying to kiss him.
"Honey…."
"III SAIDD, GETTT. OFFF. MEEE!" he shouted loudly and pushed the woman off his lap with such force that she fell flat on the floor.
"Sheesh! Such a temperamental guy! Who'd want to be your woman? Maybe that's why she left you…What a waste of time!" She said as she stood up and angrily grabbed her things before walking away.
Kukai looked at the scene amusedly and shouted after the lady. "Sorry!"
Then he took one seat apart from where Tadase was sitting.
Wouldn't want to be too close, now, would we? I might be the receiving the blow of his anger so better be prepared to run away.
"What are you doing in a place like this, Hotori?"
"Nott inn thee mooddddd to talkkkkkkk abouut ittt, Sooouma….." He slurred and was about to call the bartender again when Kukai grabbed the glass before he could reach for it.
"Whattt wasssssss that forr?" He glared at Kukai.
"You're drunk. Tadase, how many drinks did you get?" Tadase was about to open his mouth when the bartender answered.
"Apparently a lot, sir. Been requesting for this shot for more than 6 times already, I was startin' to get afraid he would forget to pay for it…" Kukai nodded at the guy before he resumed talking to his drunk friend.
"Man, Hotori, you sure have a big problem to be drinking too much for your own good. Care to tell me what it is?" He held the shot glass out of Tadase's reach and he frowned in return.
"Nooooooooooonnnnne off your businesss, Soooumaa! Noww giiiiive thatttt backkkkk!" He moaned.
Kukai sighed for the umpteenth time and shook his head. "Nu-uh, Hotori-kun, no more shots until you tell me what the hell your problem is."
Tadase slumped on the counter seemingly contemplating what Kukai said.
"Is it about Amu?" He asked.
Tadase shrugged his shoulders.
He sighed. This guy….
Tadase called the bartender again and asked for a drink.
Kukai just nodded at the guy to signal that it was fine to give the other man what he wanted.
"Hey, I know it's hard that she has to endure what happened to her but you need to be strong."
"…."
After a few more drinks, Kukai was sure Tadase was wasted. He let the little prince off this once, but he was going to bug the hell out of him tomorrow.
It was getting late and the bar was closing up.
"Yah, I'll take you to your hotel room."
"hmm…" the prince nodded and drifted in and out of consciousness.
Kukai supported him as he tried to stand, and put his friend's arm around his shoulders.
It was really weird though, to see him breaking down weeks after Amu's accident.
After Amu went into her coma, Tadase almost disappeared.
He didn't become depressed, only a little quiet. He didn't shed a tear once through the whole ordeal, but he guessed his friend was staying calm. A few days after, there he goes, vanishing from their sights.
Good thing Utau managed to persuade him to accompany her here, to the other side of town, because she was meeting a friend. Of course, the Great Kukai Souma couldn't resist a pretty damsel's request so he agreed.
Besides, like he said, he's been here before, and in that very same bar three years ago.
Anyway that was a story for another time.
Now that he thought about it, he heard the staff from the hotel they are staying at, talking on the phone.
"Oh my gosh! You're so lucky! A pretty boy with the most gorgeous blonde hair? Hotori Tadase…..what a cute name!"
That's when he probably figured out Tadase was somewhere near.
But of course Utau kept him occupied by a handful, while Tadase's only replies to his texts were, 'I'm busy.', then when he's finally getting some rest, Tadase decides to call. Drunk too.
As he put the seat belt on the almost unconscious prince, he can't help but feel like this is so gay.
The drive was quiet, and Tadase fell asleep but became half-conscious somewhere along the way.
"I…"
Well at least he's starting to sober up.
"I reaally haate itt." He slurred.
Kukai frowned. What does he mean by that?
"Tsuuuukiyomi Ikuuto…."
Kukai's head swiftly turned to Tadase's direction, the half-conscious man now looking out the window.
"Y-you…what?" He said in disbelief but Tadase stayed silent. This was the first time Kukai heard Tadase say his name in over six years! Just in time, they arrived at the hotel and he parked the vehicle.
Tadase stumbled out of the car and almost fell to the pavement if not for Kukai's quick movements.
Slowly, they passed the receptionist, who gave them weird looks.
She must've have thought they couldn't hear what she was muttering under her breath, but he did.
"To answer your question, I'm not gay, he isn't either!"
Ugh. Kukai made a face. Next worse thing that could happen is when Utau will accuse Tadase of cheating on Amu, with him….Ugh… double shiver.
Once they were in the elevator, Tadase shoved Kukai away from him.
"Wha-" Tadase cut him off.
"So…that'ssss how it iss huh?" Tadase glared at him. Kukai gave him a confused look.
"Whatttttttt," He shook his head dramatically, "iss wrongg with alllllll of youu?"
Kukai stayed silent.
"Whyyyyyyyy…." He emphasized, "do alllllllllll of youuuuu," he pointed his index finger at Kukai, "alwayssssss…..allllllllwaysss siddddee with Tsuuukiyomi!" He laughed as he stumbled out the elevator and tripped. Again, it was Kukai who balanced him.
Tadase roughly pushed him away and dragged himself using the walls as support.
"IIIIIIIII don'tttttt, don'tttttttttt neeed youuur helppppp." He said.
Kukai was really starting to get annoyed.
"Hey, I know you've got it hard right now, man, but seriously you're going too far with all this crap!" Kukai was trying to get some sense into the drunk prince.
"Haarddddd? Youuu don'ttttt know the meaning of harddddddd! And Crap? You'reeeee crappp!" He laughed sarcastically. "Leavee meeee aloneeee!" Kukai was shocked, maybe the alcohol was doing wonders to his friend but this was the first time he outright insulted him! And all he's trying to do was help!
"Okay….you better stop all this nonsense or else I might be tempted to hit you, even if you're drunk and hung over Amu's condition. You don't have to be jealous over Ikuto. We know how much you love her, so-" Kukai was surprised when Tadase suddenly gripped his collar and slammed him to the wall with a force a drunk man shouldn't be able to have.
Shit. He's on his angry king mode. Since when was Tadase this strong?
"Shuttt uppppp!" His eyes were furious. "Loooove her?" He laughed. "That'sssss the mosttttt ridiculoooous jokeeee of the centuryyy!"
What?
"IIIIIIIII," he pointed to himself, "neverrr loved herr." When he said that, every single thought that was in Kukai's head disappeared. His mind went blank. His throat closed up on him. He was speechless.
What the hell is he saying?
Where did the sweet innocent little Tadase go? Silence filled the hallway.
It's not true. He's blurting out random stuff.
"Look, man, you know you don't mean that…." Tadase roughly shoved him away and let go.
"Trussssssst mee Souuuuuuuma…" He scoffed, "I know myself more thannnn youuuu would." He laughed, "It's alwaysssss Tsukiyomiiiii! Allllllll offff youuuu! Meeee? I'mmm nothingggg!"
"Tadase…" Kukai shook his head, sure Ikuto always had a part of their hearts but they all cared for Tadase too! Was this how the prince thought of them?
"Why don't youuuuuu goooo graveeeeellllll under that scuuumssss feet? " He stumbled forward.
"Tadase!" He fisted his hands.
"Foooooooools! All of youuuuuuu are foooools!" Tadase reached for the keycard in his pocket and opened his suite door.
"Tadase, wait!" Kukai quickly held the door open.
"If yoooooou don'ttt want to beelieve it, suit yourrrrrselves! Amuu? She'ss justttttt a pawnnnn. A toyyy, nothingggg moreeee….In factttt," He pushed Kukai out of the room, "I even cheated on herr." He smirked victoriously.
Kukai jaw must've hung open in shock at his statement.
"I. NEVERRRR. NEVERRRRRR. LOVEDD. HI-NA-MO-RI A-MU!" He declared and then he slammed the door to Kukai's face.
What the hell just happened?
Kukai stood dumbfounded in front of the closed door.
Suddenly the sound of plastic bags and glass hit the floor.
Kukai 's head swivelled to the direction of the noise. The carpet was already stained red by the wine.
"D-did he…r-really just say that?" a trembling voice said.
He didn't love her.
A/n: Okayyyyyy~~~ I don't know why but I'm proud of finishing this chapter! I bet almost all of you hate Tadase now. Stupid Tadase XD he should've listened to his conscience! Now all his plans are ruined, or not?
Since I'm a girl, I'm sorry if I didn't manage to describe what a guy feels XD Especially Ikuto…To me my writing feels girly this chap. :( Oh well….
I am officially in my summer vacation! But I'm going to miss all of you because I will be going to China for a study tour for 2 months, starting April until May! So I'm planning to update before that time, so remember to check before April, I promise to update, even a short filler or special side story if I don't finish the next chap in time.
On a sourer note, I'm so annoyed with people who snoop around….Can't I have my privacy? (This is personal probs, not directed to any of you reading this.)
Anyway, I have a new question for all of you!
Aside from the IkutoxAmuxTadase love triangle, what other love triangle do you feel in this story or do you think will happen in this story? Give me the reason why you feel like there's something going on with the three.
I will dedicate the next chapter to the person whose answer I like the most! You never know if I'm going to include your love triangle in my story~~~
