She smiled "A few, actually"
"...wait, what?"

Amu's POV:
"So... um, why did we meet here at the beach?" Tora broke the silence
I heard a faint "Amu? Amu? Amu... is that really you?"
I looked around and saw a blurry figure slowly walking up to us from the distance but I didn't know he's really walking to us so... I'll ignore it
"Well, we met here because Taiki came back" Rin mumbled
My eyes widened "That's right, when I was at the mall... he approached me. But I didn't reconize him, he just said his name was Taiki... he... he... he kissed me"
"But don't you already have a boyfriend?" Rin asked me, confused
"He forgave me since it wasn't my fault" I explained
I heard the faint voice again but it's a little louder than it was before "Amu? Amu! Is that... is that you?"
I turn around, fed up with all of this and htere he was... Taiki "What do you want?"
"I already told you..." He whispers in my ear "You"
I wave to Tora and Rin "I'm going back home"
I brush right passed Taiki but he takes my wrist and starts running "Where. Are. We. GOING!?"
"You'll see" He smirked as I tried my best not to stumble. He brings me somewhere dark and cold where nobody could see us and their are no camra's. He pushes me up against the wall "Amu..."
"Taiki, I don't feel the way I felt before... before you cheated on me" I choked out
"Remember those feelings... before I cheated on you. Dig them out, think of the love we shared-"You didn't love me" I spat in his face
He started kissing my neck out of frustration, I couldn't move... he's pushing me too hard against the wall, the hard brick wall. His mouth esplored up my neck and stopped when he was kissing me "Taiki!" I push him off "I don't like you anymore! I already have a boyfriend!"
"Oh really? I'd like to meet this boyfriend of yours" He smirked, he bent donwn on one knee "Amu... will you do me the honor of becoming my bride?"
"In your dreams!" I run out of there and wipe off my mouth with the back of my hands as I was running home. Thanks to Kukai and all his extra training, I run pretty fast now! I finally got there, I slammed the door open and close it behind me.
Everybody was giving me confused expressions "He's here"
I heard beating on the door as I locked it and held my back against it "Amu! Amu! Come out!"
"No! Leave me alone" I yell back
"Amu! I love you! Give me a chance to prove it!" He asked desperately
"NO!" Tears started welling up in my eyes "I told you... I won't marry you! And I won't love you! I refuse to get hurt again!"
Kukai smiled "That's mah girl"
I slightly chuckled but then the door bust open, I stumble frontward but Kukai kept me from falling. Taiki took my wrist and ripped me out of Kukai's grasp. "You're a very bad girl, so which one of these idiots is your boyfriend?"
"Idiots?" Ikuto raised an eyebrow "That's the best you could do?"
"Yeah, I thought insults were easier" Kairi adjusted his glasses
"They are! But... not for a half minded fool like him" Kukai shrugged
All the girls snickered, including me. He pushed me up against the wall by my neck choking me but not all the way. Kukai takes a cautious step closer "That's going too far"
"K-Kukai, I'm alright, h-he won't hurt m-me" I cough
"Oh? I won't hurt you, you say?" Taiki lifts me up the wall a bit by my neck so my feet can't touch the ground
I can barely breathe "W-Why are you doing this?"
"Because! It's payback! When I purposed to you again at the beach, you turned me down for someone else. When I kissed you at the beach, you kicked my shin and ran. When I kissed you at the mall, you yelled at me and walked out. But... when I kissed you in italy to make up for cheating on you, you didn't let me! You slapped me across the face and ran! I just wanted a chance to prove that I love you but you won't give me one!" I could see pure sadness in his eyes
"Taiki... I-I need you to put me down s-so I can explain w-why I did th-that" I choke out
A flash of realization goes through his eyes for a second "Oh, uh, yeah"
He let's me down and I kneel on the ground on my hands and knees coughing up blood. He kicked my rib and I landed my back against the wall. Kukai was about to run when Rima stopped him "She may hurt but she already told you that she'll be alright. You need to trust her more"
I weakily got up still coughing up blood "A-Are you enjoying this?"
"Yes!" He stomped on my foot. I gasped and fell, I forced a laugh "Ha, you don't scare me. This is nothing compared to the pain you'll feel if Rin finds out about this"
He gasped and backed away "Rin's here, I totally forgot"
I smirked "Yes, you forgot, she's already on her way"
He gasped and kicked me in my stomach "Tell her not to!"
"Why?" I asked as I hold my stomach
He punched me in my face "I'm only hurting you because I love you!"
"THEN PROVE IT! PROVE YOU LOVE ME! PROVE IT BY GETTING UP AND LEAVING ME ALONE! PROVE IT BY NEVER COMING BACK! PROVE YOU LOVE ME MORE THAN HIM! JUST PROVE IT!" I gasp all in one breath
He looked down "That's not my idea of love"
"Shaking me like ragdoll is!?" I hold my stomach
He pushes me back up against the wall and kisses me... not forecefully though, this kiss was passionate. I didn't feel the same way though. I tried to struggle a little but I was weak, I couldn't do much

Kukai's POV:
"THEN PROVE IT! PROVE YOU LOVE ME! PROVE IT BY GETTING UP AND LEAVING ME ALONE! PROVE IT BY NEVER COMING BACK! PROVE YOU LOVE ME MORE THAN HIM! JUST PROVE IT!" Amu gasps all in one breath. She glanced at me and slightly smiled when she said that. I smiled back
Taiki looked down "That's not my idea of love"
"Sahking me like a ragdoll is!?" She holds her stomach
He pushes her back up against the wall and kisses her... I started fuming. And it seems like Rima noticed that. Rima glanced at Nagi and Ikuto, Nagi held my hands behind my back and picked me up while Ikuto picked me up by my feet. They carried me to the couch while I struggled "Let. Me. GO!"
They dropped me on the couch and I immediately sat up "DUDE! DO SOMETHING!"
I heard a loud scream in the other room and fast footsteps one after the other, the fast footsteps multiplied and it sounded like one chasing another. I shot up off the couch "What's that?"
Rima ran after them "GUYS!"
Nagi and Ikuto quickly turned their heads, all the girls were gone. Kairi was the only one there, he was just standing there, looking like he's just seen a ghost. I ran over to him "Kairi, what's wrong?"
"Y-Yaya..." Was all he could spit out
Me, Nagi, and Ikuto all turned our heads towards the hallway, Yaya was lying there... unconsious. I rushed over to her, kneeled down next to her and gently put my hand on her stomach "Whew, she's breathing"
Kairi let out a sigh of relief and rushed over "I was... sort of... frozen"
"Yeah, but... um, who did this?" Nagi cleared his throat
He looked down at the ground "Taiki..." he muttered
I opened my mouth to speak but he continued, "Taiki... is not alone"
"What?" Ikuto asked him as his eyes travled up the hall way "Utau!"
I turned my head towards where he was running, Utau's arm was covered in blood. Ikuto gently put his hand on her stomach "Sh-She's breathing"
All of us sighed in relief. I shot up "What the crap?"
"What?" Nagi looked up at me while Kairi was busy staring at Yaya
"What if those jerks did this to Amu?" Came Ikuto's voice
Nagihiko's eyes widened "Or Rima... or Nadeshiko!" he shot up and ran up the stairs
I was still proccessing what Ikuto said, my jaw dropped "N-No, h-he didn't. He wouldn't hurt her, he l-loves her, doesn't he?" I stuttered badly
"Kukai... he's the one that nearly choked her to death, he pushed her up against the wall, kicked her in the rib and stomped on her foot. Ya see, nobody wants to believe that he'd hurt her but you saw it with your own eyes. He did this to Yaya and to Utau, why not Amu?" Kairi look up from Yaya at me
"I refuse to believe he would hurt her" I muttered as tears slowly started making their way down my face "I refuse to be heartbroken"
"Go look for Rima, Nadeshiko, and Amu. I'll stay by Utau and Yaya" Ikuto offered
I nodded "Thanks, man"
"No problem, you too, Kairi" Ikuto helped Kairi up
I shot up and ran upstairs with Kairi following close behind me

EHHHH!? SOOOO!? HOW DO Y'ALL LIKE IT!?
Utau: Just because you have that accent in real life doesn't mean you have to type the accent when you're doing this weird chat box thing. Don't you find it sort of awkward?
Laura: Not at all, why do ya ask?
Rima: Because it looks awkward
Misori: So... why wasn't I mentioned when all the girls disappeared?
Kazue: Because you and me aren't main characters, we're part of the supporting cast
Misori: But still!
Laura: Oh, hush! You big crybabies!
Amu: I'm sure you'll be mentioned in the next chapter
Rima, Utau, Amu, Misori, Kazue, Nadeshiko, and Yaya: Laura doesn't own Shugo Chara!
