Recap:

I took a deep breath "He kissed me"

Everybody's jaw's dropped. Rima put a hand on my shoulder "Is that considered cheating?"

"Maybe... I don't know!" I grabbed all of our shopping bags and headed out "Let's go"

The ride home was in awkward silence, I just looked out the window while Utau drove

Amu's POV:

We got out of the car and I grabbed my bags heading into the house. I walked in and put my purse near the front door while I carried the rest of the bags and put them on the kitchen table. Kukai was waiting for me, as usual, in the living room "Hey, Amu, glad you made it back okay"

"Yeah but that's not what's on your mind, is it?" I ask him without even looking at him. I take out the shoe boxes from the bags and set them on the counter but I could tell that Kukai's jaw dropped

"What do you mean?" He clears his throat

"I can tell by your voice. You have something that's bothering you. Sadness? No. Let's see, anger? No. Um, Jealousy?" I didn't even answer myself that time because I knew I was right. I looked over at him, his jaw still dropped "W-What do you mean?"

I sigh "You're stuttering... you're blushing!" I point

He blushes even more and his hair shadows his eyes "N-No I'm not"

"C'mon! Kukai, tell me what's wrong" I walk over to him and sit next to him on the couch

He just... immediately stops blushing "I don't know what you mean"

"Kukai, you know me better than that" I put my hands on his and rub his "Tell me what's wrong"

"Dude, tell the woman" Ikuto budges in "She's not gonna let it go"

"She's not gonna let it go if I do tell her" He replied

"Well someone tell me... hmm, Kairi! Do you know?" I glare at him

He gulps "Yes but I think it would be better if Kukai told you"

"TELL. ME. NOW!" I slowly get up

He starts backing away "I-I can't"

I walk over to him "Don't make me ask you again"

"I'm sorry, Amu, b-but I can't" He continues to slowly back up

I grab his shirt collar before he can run and pull his face close to mine "Don't make me hurt you"

"This is abuse if you ask me" He added

I growled under my breath "Yeah? Well ya know what? Nobody did! Now tell me what's wrong with my freakin' boyfriend!"

Kairi flinched at the sudden question "Fine! We saw you kiss someone else"

"Ehh!? You stalked me!?" I immediately let Kairi go and turned around to face Kukai

He sighed "Technically"

"..."

"..."

"Oh, Kukai" I rubbed my head "EI-yei-ei! What're we going to do with you?"

"I have a few suggestions" Ikuto butt in again

I glare at him "SHUT IT, CAT!"

"...Cat?" He tilts his head to the side

"You cheated on me!" Kukai stood up

"NO! I did not!" I turn my attention towards him

"Then why did I see you kiss someone else?" He crosses his arms

I growl "It was just a misunderstanding. Let me explain"

He waits for me to continue but Rima beat me to it "Well, we just walked into the mall and these guys came walking up to us and wanting to treat us to lunch for some random reason..."

"...And they dragged us off before we just reject them, then they sat us each down at a serperate table to make it look like a date... which it totally wasn't..." Utau waited for someone else to continue

"...They got our food for us and sat it down at our tables, we weren't really interested in them and they weren't cute at all, we just didn't wanna be rude..." Yaya shrugged

"...But then we realized that they're all perverted munks who just wanted to get in our pants. We needed to get out of there as soon as we could. Taiki leaned over the table and kissed me and I didn't like that. I just yelled at him in hopes he would get the message..." I looked at Nadeshiko for her to finish

"...Then she called us and we stormed off. But not before we all got our revenge... except me, of course, I'm not good with revenge. Rima called them an eyesoar, Yaya was just in it for the candy, Utau was obsessed to get back to shopping, Amu said they weren't worth her time, and I remained silent" Nadeshiko finished

"Fair enough" Kukai nodded

Ikuto sweatdropped "Perverted munk who just want to get in your pants?"

Utau laughed "Yeah!... Like you!"

Everybody snickered except Tadase, Rima, Ikuto and Kairi who just rolled their eyes at our silliness. Ikuto scrunched his eyebrows together (comically) and scrunched his nose (comically) "HEY!"

"HEY!" I mock him

"DUDE, AMU, I THOUGHT YOU WERE NORMAL!" He crossed his arms

"DUDE, IKUTO, I THOUGHT YOU WERE NORMAL!" I mock him again

"IDIOTS!" He growled

I growled back "What did you just call me?"

"You heard me! Idiots!" He huffed

I tackled him, gripping his shirt collar lifting up his head and slamming it back on the ground "NEVER CALL ME THAT EVER AGAIN! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?"

"What do you have against being called an Idiot?" Kukai asked me

I stopped slamming Ikuto's head to the floor but kept a tight grip on his shirt collar. My eyes started tearing up, a few dripped on Ikuto's cheek. Ikuto looked shocked "A-Are you... crying!?"

"No! I'm not a crybaby like some people!" I glare at him and then looked at Yaya "Or childish like some other people" I wipe off my tears

"What's wrong, Amu?" Kukai put a hand on my back. I jerked up off of Ikuto "Don't touch me!"

"Amu..." Rima started "Tell us what's wrong"

"Why should I?" I mutter

Ikuto get's off the floor "Huh?"

"Give me a reason... give me a reason why I should tell you why that word bothers me so much" I stared out the window without giving them so much as a glance

"Well..." Rima started but I cut her off before she could finish "No matter what you say, you'll be wrong. Their isn't a reason why I should tell you about my past"

"Your past?" Kukai thought for a minute "Because I'm your boyfriend and I should know about your family"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."
