I do not own anything

"Good, she's sleeping. Yamamato, take her to the car," He ordered him, walking to the car.

Amu's POV

"Why are you not letting me out?" I yelled for the billionth time already, but the amazingly patient maid replied back.

"Master-sama said to keep you in this room. There are bodyguards outside that door," The maid reminded, bowing yet again. "I have to go." The maid left the room, letting me have a glimpse of the muscular bodyguards. I would not dare get out of here after seeing those guys.

Sigh, why does problems keep hurdling towards my way, never giving me a break? I dropped onto my bed, now lying down. First, I killed my parents; second, I hurt Ami; third, I fell in love with Ami's first love and stole him away from her; fourth, I was nearly raped; fifth, I lied to Ikuto about being Uma; and next, I'm kidnapped. I wish all this would just end. Sometimes, I wish I could die, but who would take care of Ami? I can die after graduation because there's enough of my job's money and our inheritance. There will also be the money for when I die, just until graduation.

I ache to end this suffering. This suffering of no longer being allowed to love, being forgiven, confessing my love, and etc. I wish graduation would just come already. It's Monday today, and the prom and ceremony is at Friday. I just hope my disease's consequence will show up during or before the prom. I just wanted to enjoy my last moments of living with the ones I loved. Was that so wrong?

Am I not allowed to love?

"Master-sama, is able to see you now. Please follow me," The same patient maid knocked on the door, waiting for Amu to acknowledge her presence and follow.

(Library)

"Please, Boss, just give her a week to come back. If she doesn't come back, you can fire her," Suzuki begged the middle aged man. The man was bald, skinny, and had glasses.

"Fine, but that's it," He grumbled, stomping into his office.

"*SIGH* Where is Amu? She needs to hurry up," She fretted. "I'll just go to her house."

(After Work)

This is the Amu's house. She stood outside of the Hinamori Residence, walked to the door, and knocked. After a few moments, Ami opened the door.

"What do you want?" Ami hissed at the stranger.

"Watch your attitude, Hinamori Ami. I am your sister's work colleague. I am looking for Amu," Suzuki hissed back.

"Is everyone looking for her nowadays? She's not important or anything. Anyway, I have nothing to do with her," Ami was about to slam the door shut, but Suzuki's foot intervened.

"I am guessing you do know then. I don't care whatever went on between you guys, but your sisters you have to forgive each other," Suzuki scolded.

"Then what happened with Cain and Abel? If I recall, didn't Cain kill Abel out of jealousy?" Ami smirked.

"You really don't get it. You're just a spoiled girl who knows nothing about work and financial problems. Do you know how much hours Amu works just to put clothes on your back, put food on the table, and to put a roof over your head? Amu cares about you. Anyone would be lucky to be loved and cared for as much as Amu does for you, but you just take it for granted. You think your life's miserable. Is it as miserable as Amu's? You're still holding a grudge over her head for how long now? Amu sometimes faints during work. Do you have a sister blaming you for everything? She hasn't really happily smiled since I met her until she actually started dating this wonderful guy. I am happy for her, but are you? If you were in her place, would you last and live for her, too?" Suzuki criticized then left after her ramble. "Have you asked her side of the story?"

(Hospital)

"Where's Uma, Mom?" Utau asked her mother, searching the whole room.

"Oh, her father took her last night," Souko looked down sadly.

"Was that person really her father?" Souko thought in her head countless of times.

"She needs to pay back for that. She never said bye to me yet," Utau ran out of the room, really not heading any specific spot.

(School)

Ditching class, Ikuto was sitting on a tree branch in the middle of the forest, wondering where Uma and Amu was.

"Where are you, Amu, Uma? Why do you leave the same impressions on me? Amu, I wonder what your hair looks like? Uma, what color shines in your eyes? Who do I love more? Argh! Why can't you be the same person then I won't have to think so much about this!" Ikuto thought.

His wandering mind didn't notice Kukai's presence.

"Ikuto, I noticed…" Kukai leaned against the same tree Ikuto was sitting on. "Who are you really serious with? Amu or this Uma you just met? Utau has told me practically everything about this girl. Ikuto, you remember when I called off the bet, right? Around that time, you searched for Amu relentlessly, but even though you couldn't have found her, you kept going, not caring if you were tired. All of a sudden you stopped looking. It was all because of Uma, wasn't it? Utau tells me she's like a beautiful goddess. All that tells me you would rather give up love for a beautiful woman."

Ikuto stayed silent throughout the whole explanation, looking into the sky. Kukai noticed that Ikuto was confused himself and decided to stop there.

"Hey, Kukai, could you do something for me?" Ikuto asked, jumping off the tree branch. He landed in front of Kukai. Kukai looked at him, nodding his head.

"Punch me," Ikuto put his hands behind his back, ready for the punch. Kukai took his weight off the tree, standing in a stance ready to hit him, and his fist was splitting through the air. Strangely, He stopped a centimeter or two away from Ikuto's face. The whole time Ikuto's eyes were open. Kukai dropped his arm to his side reluctantly.

"You're going crazy over two girls. Hurry up and choose so you can become sane again," Kukai walked away, leaving a dumb founded Ikuto behind.

(After School at the Park)

"Please, Rima," Nagi begged on his knees in front of a blushing Rima.

"Get up already. You're embarrassing me," Rima looked at the giggling bystanders.

"As long as you at least try to become Amu's friend," Nagi smiled politely.

"Is that a threat?" Rima raised a brow.

"It could be," Nagi replied with an even wider smile.

"You're creeping me out with your smiles," Rima tried to look away from his face, still blushing.

"I'll creep you out until you do," Nagi smiled his widest.

"Fine, just get up and stop with those creepy smiles," Rima surrendered.
