Some "love-love" for Utau 3

note: 'senpai' means upperclassman, senior, person in a higher grade...something like that!

note: 'kohai' is the opposite: lowerclassman, junior, person in a lower grade...yeah...^-^

Side Story: Utau vs. Kukai

"Ah~! Where's Amu-chi? She has all the presents!!!" Yaya complained.

"Calm down, Yaya. Kukai-kun went out to fetch Hinamori-san." Tadase informed.

"Yaya! Get you ass up here and help me with the tree!!!" Nagihiko ordered.

"Uwa~! Why is Nagi Nagi so cranky today?" Yaya paled.

"Well...about that...," Tadase tried to explain.

"It's the my first Christmas ever to be in my true form...!" Nagihiko shined.

"Yeah...that, I guess." Tadase chuckled.

"Huh?" Yaya was clueless.

"Presents, presents!" Daichi cheered, floating around Kukai's head.

"Excited?" Kukai laughed, going along with his Shugo Chara.

"When we get Hinamori, let's get a peek at everyone's presents---" Kukai stopped as he stared at the person he ran into when he turned the corner.

"Hoshina Utau...,"

"Guardian...,"

"Crap...," Daichi floated and rested on Kukai's shoulder, ready to character transform whenever.

"Just now, you mentioned her."

"Who?" Daichi looked at her catiously.

"Hinamori Amu. Where is she?" Utau demanded.

"That's what I want to know. We're heading over her house looking for her right now." Kukai said.

"Hey, Kukai... Is it safe?" Daichi whispered.

"You want to come with us? That way we'd be killing two birds with one stone." Kukai shrugged.

"Fine." Utau said, keeping a distance.

"Hey, Kukai!" Daichi demanded quietly.

"Don't worry. I won't lead her to Hinamori's. I'm just going to try to squeeze some info from her. Then we'll ditch her." Kukai grinned.

"Nice!" Daichi put a thumbs up.

They walked quietly beside each other, Utau still keeping a distance.

"You know, I've been wondering but... Why are you looking for Hinamori?" Kukai asked casually.

Kukai thought she would just ignore him, but to his surprise, Utau's fist was clenched.

"Ik--"

"What?" Kukai responded. Utau flamed.

"Unforgivable, Hinamori Amu! It's Christmas and I wanted to spend it with my beloved Ikuto! But when I went into his room, he was gone! There's no other place he would be! He must be with Hinamori Amu!!!" Utau growled.

"Whoa...," Kukai stepped back, a little scared.

"She scares me...," Daichi whispered. Kukai nodded in agreement.

Utau turned and shot death glares at them.

"But...you know, you being in love with your brother, isn't that kind of...," Kukai began.

"Sick!" Daichi screamed.

Kukai smacked Daichi. "Umm...out of there?" Kukai covered.

Utau growled like a lion.

"Uh...you don't have to answer." Kukai felt uncomfortable.

"Ikuto is the best big brother in the world! He's always there for me! I want be his support!!! Is that wrong?!" Utau demanded.

"Uh... no...it's not wrong." Kukai looked the other way.

"But it's sick and gross!" Daichi muttered.

"Daichi!" Kukai complained.

"And you Guardians think you're better than us! Looking at us like we're the bad guys! It's you who are the bad guys, interfering with our business. You don't even need the embryo--"

"Hey!" Kukai cut Utau off. "Don't talk about my friends like that!"

Utau glared at him. "This is stupid! I don't need to be fighting with a kid! I'm a third-year in middle school! I'm already a grown woman!" Utau insisted.

"Wait...middle school..? Senpai..?" Kukai was stupefied.

Utau's eyes widened. "Kohai...?!"

"Yeah...I'm a first-year middle schooler...," Kukai laughed uncomfortably.

"I thought Guardians were elementary schoolers...," Utau gazed.

"You know, we don't stay young forever. We have to graduate eventually...," Kukai laughed uncomfortably again.

Utau didn't say anything.

"Wah~! That was surprising. I'd figured you'd be in high school...," Kukai laughed.

Utau shot a glare at him.

"What?" Kukai felt his spine shiver.

"I'm still better than you!!!" Utau pointed an accusing finger at Kukai.

"Wha--?!" Kukai stared at her.

Utau kept her strong front on, but Kukai covered his mouth, snickering.

"Wha--What?!" Utau demanded.

Kukai kept laughing uncontrollably.

"What is it?!" Utau insisted.

"Sorry...hahaha...it's just that...hahaha...I can't stop!" Kukai snickered. "Ah, what an interesting woman!" Kukai laughed.

"Kukai...," Daichi whitened at Utau's outraged expression.

"Don't laugh at me!!!" Utau screamed.

"Hahaha...I'm sorry...I can't stop!!!" Kukai continued laughing.

"That's what I was talking about. Every chance you get, you Guardians humiliate us and laugh at us and---" Utau suddenly slipped on some ice on the road. She was tilting, about to fall over.

Utau closed her eyes tightly, ready for the impact. Then... Catch!

Utau shot her eyes open when she felt strong arms wrap around her. Kukai had catched her, using himself as a falling cushion for her.

"You...," Utau glared.

"Hey! Say thank you!" Daichi directed.

"T-Thanks." Utau looked the other way.

"No problem!" Kukai grinned, snickering from Utau's blushing face.

"But this is surprising...," Kukai said curiously.

Utau and Daichi looked at him to see what he meant.

"I mean, are all girls this soft? Plus you smell good...," Kukai touched Utau's hair.

"Y-You! D-Don't sexually harrass me!!!" Utau, now a tomatoe, jerked up.

"Eh~? Why're you so red?" Kukai grinned.

"Hmm~! Kukai! Kukai! It's that! It's that!" Daichi snickered.

"Uh huh~! It's that, isn't it?" Kukai gave Utau a perverted look.

"Y-You! What are you thinking?!?!" Utau demanded.

"I never knew Utau was such a pervert...," Kukai smirked.

"A-Am not! D-Don't call me by my first name!" Utau growled, still blushing.

"Cute~!" Kukai smirked again.

"I'll bury you in snow!!!" Utau threatened.

"Haha...Little perverted Hoshina Utau...," Kukai went on.

"Rawr!!!" Utau attacked, throwing snowballs at Kukai.

"Yeah, yeah! Snowball fight!!!" Daichi cheered.

"You missed." Kukai stuck his tongue out.

"Are you challenging me?" Utau sparked angrily.

"Oh~! A strong woman!!!" Kukai grinned.

"Perverted, strong woman!" Daichi added on.

"You're dead!!!" Utau roared.

"..." (-__-)

"Uhhh...What should we do now?" Yoru turned around to seek advice.

"Just leave them. At least it isn't me Utau's attacking." Ikuto walked away, leaving the unnoticing Utau and Kukai to their "fun".

Back at the Guardians' Christmass Party...

"What~?! Now Kukai's gone missing, too?!" Yaya collapsed onto the floor.

"Yaya, are you alright?!" Tadase hurried over worriedly.

"My first Christmas in this form!!!" Nagihiko gleamed.

The End!!!
