-Chapter 13 -

Normal POV

Aruto was dragging his son to his office when he felt that the young man struggled at his strong grip.

"What the hell was it, Father?" The young, midnight blue-haired man asked his old man.

"Are you that stupid, Son?" His father asked in disbelief.

"What?" His son still looked dumb founded.

"Saaya is tricking us; she isn't pregnant, that's why you can't find who the father of the child that Saaya claimed to exist is. She is barren." Aruto explained when they were protected from prying ears by the closed door and walls of his office.

"Damn that woman!" Ikuto, the young man hissed.

"Well, it is over, Son. Now, tell me; how can we claim Hinamori Amu as my daughter-in-law?" Aruto, the older man asked.

"I don't know, Father." The young man replied his father.

"I saw her at the party just now. She came with Takahashi Aoi, didn't she?" the father asked.

"Yeah, they're engaged. Have you forgotten, Father? You saw it on the TV two days ago!" The young, midnight blue-haired man exclaimed.

"Of course not; do you think your father is already senile? I may look old, Son, but I'm still handsome and my brain is definitely working well." The older man snapped. He was a bit cocky, heh! His son was receiving it from his along with his trademark smirk.

"Cocky father, you're so cocky." The younger man shook his head as his father flashed him his infamous smirk.

"Now, forget it, back to the topic. I have an idea how to claim Amu, but you have to play your part well, Son." The older man, Aruto said to his son.

Amu POV

I was standing in the middle of the big ballroom, dumbfounded. Ikuto loved the other woman, not his wife, but who? To tell you the truth, I still had feelings for him and I couldn't help raising my hope that the other woman was me. But, if he loved another woman why had he married his ex-wife in the first place?

Aoi was still standing beside me, his arm around my small waist. Some of his colleagues from business world were still congratulating him for our engagement when Aruto dragged Ikuto into the house, and I assumed to his private study room just like after the banquet two months ago.

Well, the party had ended by the way, and I hoped that I could go home. I needed to sleep, my eyes were tired enough and my head was still echoing Aruto's words that Ikuto loved another woman. This whole thing had to end soon or I would become more depressed.

Takahashi Aoi said his goodbye to his colleagues, he saw that the pinkette was tired, her eyelid were nearly closed. He giggled; the pinkette was so cute in her own way. He knew that she didn't want to distract him; that was why she kept her mouth shut and leaned over him to support her tired body.

He lead the pinkette to his sport car, helped her into the passenger seat before he walked to the other side of the car, slipped in and drove away from the big mansion.

Amu fell into deep sleep when Aoi started his car, and Aoi couldn't help chuckling at the view. His pinkette looked like an angel. Her angelic face was so calm when she slept, and she mumbled some words that he couldn't catch. He was surely the luckiest man in the world because he had this beautiful petite girl.

He arrived at her house, but she looked so tired. So he decided to carry her bridal style. He rang the bell and her mother opened the door. She gasped when she saw her daughter was fast asleep in her fiancé's arms, she smiled. She hoped that the pink-haired girl could be happy even when it cost her life; she wanted to see her daughter's beautiful smile.

He carried her into her bedroom and placed her in her bed. He looked at her face one more time before tucking the warm blanket under her chin and kissing her forehead. Then he walked out from her bedroom to the front door and drove away.

"Ikuto..." Amu mumbled in her sleep.

"Stupid source..." a brunette man mumbled when his soon to be father-in-law said that Saaya's pregnancy was a fake one.

Then why did his source give him a lot of names that could be the father if the red head girl didn't even pregnant?

"You know, your source is as stupid as you, Honey." A blond woman spoke.

The brunette didn't have a reason to argue with his lover so he kept his mouth shut. He needed to sort some things out from his stupid source. He put his arm around his lover's waist, pulled her back flush against his chest and hugged her tightly from behind. Well, he missed her. They just made up yesterday, and he still had something to catch up with. Not to mention a wedding plan to finish.

"How about we discuss something more important, Babe?" Souma Kukai asked his lover as he nipped her neck.

"What...do...you...want...to...discuss?" His lover stuttered as he kept nipping her neck. She could feel that the man was smirking when he heard that she was stuttering.

"Something more private." He answered her and with that the woman slammed her lips onto his cold ones as the brunette man lifted her up and carried her bridal style without breaking their kiss into her bedroom. Thank god they were standing at the corner of the ballroom where there weren't many people standing there and how lucky they were because they were standing near a small door that led them to the main house.

The next day,Hinamoriresidence

Amu opened her eyes and met a bright light from outside of the window. She sat up on her bed and looked around. 'I don't remember what happenedbut how can I end up in my room?' the confused pinkette rose up from her comfort bed and walked down towards the dining room.

"Morning, Mom." The young woman greeted the older one.

"Morning, Honey, how was your sleep?" Her mother asked her while she was cooking breakfast.

"Good, I want to ask you why I end up in my room because the last thing I remember is that I was in Aoi's car." The pinkette asked.

"You don't remember, do you? Poor Aoi. Well, you looked so tired so Aoi didn't wake you up and brought you up instead. He is such a gentleman." Midori exclaimed.

Amu was blushing when her mom told her. Well, she didn't expect that Aoi could be such a gentleman. Well, looks like she would have to say thanks to him.

So, the pinkette went back to her room, took a relaxing shower and walked back to the dining room before making herself comfortable on one of the chairs. Her mom has served her a strip of bacon with sausages - her favorite.

After breakfast, she took her cellphone and texted Aoi. She knew that he was busy so she didn't want to disturb him. Well, three more weeks then both of them would go back to America. This was a vacation after all. The truth was they were suppose to go back to America next week, it had been a month already but Amu had managed to convince Aoi to stay for some weeks more because she wanted to attend her best friend's wedding and she wanted to stay one more week before she had to say goodbye to her parents again. Aoi of course agreed with her so he let her stay a few more weeks before they went back to America.

Hinamori Amu was bored, she had nothing to do. So, she texted her best friend, Utau.

'Utau, I am bored.Wannado something, Baby?' Amu texted.

'Sure, let's go shopping, Honey. Be there in twenty minutes,ja.' The blond woman replied her text a few minutes later.

Amu then rushed into her bedroom and changed. She wore a baggy white shirt and a pair of short jeans along with sneakers. She looked younger and sporty. To add to her appearance, she tied her pink hair into a high ponytail. Then she grabbed her bag and walked into the living room to wait for her best friend to pick her up.

Not long after she arrived at her comfy living room, Utau arrived at her house. She bid her mother goodbye and rushed out. Her daddy had gone to work early in the morning. She greeted her best friend and slipped in before the blond woman drove off.

They arrived at the mall later and stormed in. All the visitors in the vast building sweat-dropped as they looked at the two girls raiding all stores available and not missing anything from their imaginary shopping lists, especially the newest trends of fashion and jewelries, as if there was no tomorrow.

"Ne, ne, Utau…" Amu called her best friend.

"What?" Utau asked her best friend and faced her before she gasped.

"How is this one?" Amu asked the blond woman and she twirled around to give her the complete look at the dress she was trying on.

"Oh my god Amu, I swear, there won't be any guy who would think twice before jumping on you." The pinkette's best friend said.

"This one then." Amu said as she launched back to the fitting room and changed into her original clothes. When Amu came back out, she and Utau walked to the cashier to pay for the dress.

"Why are you buying a new dress Amu?" Utau asked her when they were walking towards the cashier.

"For my engagement party. Aoi wants to celebrate our engagement, and it is going to be around three days from now. I will give you the invitation tomorrow." Amu explained while she brought out the platinum card that Aoi had given her and gave it to the cashier attendant.

"What?" Utau asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, sorry I forget to mention it to you before on the phone." Amu said as she received her card back together with a bag that contained her new dress.

They walked around the mall, grabbed themselves some lunch and Utau invited Amu to her house. They were best friend after all, even though the pinkette and her brother had problems. Amu agreed to the invitation and let the blond woman drove them to her house.

Utau parked her car in the big garage and Amu saw that there was an additional car – a green Porsche – parked beside the midnight blue Ferrari.

"Whose car is that?" Amu asked Utau as she pointed her finger to the green sports car.

"Kukai, he bought it a week ago." Utau answered her best friend.

They walked into the living room and saw Souko sitting on the sofa with her husband, Aruto, watching TV. Both of them greeted the older couple before storming into Utau's bedroom.

"Wait here, I need to scan my room first. I don't want you to walk into my room and see my stupid fiancé naked." Utau said and she opened her door before closing it back.

Amu giggled at her statement, they sure loved each other so much. Their engagement was successful, not like hers and Ikuto's. Then she heard Utau screaming, so she assumed that her fiancé was wearing nothing inside her bedroom.

Amu sighed as she began to walk around the hall. She still remembered the first time she had been here because Ikuto had saved her from a rapist, and then she remembered meeting a green haired man – Tsukiyomi's personal doctor – and many more memories in this long hall. Then she heard Ikuto's voice from his bedroom. Looks like he was talking with someone, but who? Kukai and Aruto weren't with him. She stood outside his bedroom; the door was opened so she could hear the conversation perfectly.

"Yeah, I still love her… No, you don't understand it… She hates me, I swear… Yeah, I love her and I miss her… No, she is engaged… Yeah, to that blond man… I'm regretting my action." Amu knew that Ikuto was talking on the phone because she couldn't hear any reply coming from across the phone. She kept hearing what Ikuto was going to say.

"Yeah, I love her. I'll fight for her… Damn, I know… Around Wednesday I think, Aruto has given me the document… Of course, I'll do anything for her. I love her, I'm still in love with Amu." Amu gasped when she heard Ikuto's words. He still loved her, he still loved her. No, it couldn't be. He had rejected her month and a half ago. Why did he regret it right now? No, he must be lying! Amu kept herself in front of the door while hot tears began to run down her angelic face. She kept hearing the conversation though.

"No, the pregnancy was a fluke… No, she is barren… What? Really? ... No, I never slept with or touch Saaya… You can call me crazy but I can't do it… Yeah, because I keep seeing Amu in my dream… I wish I could, my friend… Yeah, I hope she still loves me… Really? Hope so… Sure, talk to you later." Ikuto had finished his conversation when he heard a soft sob from in front of his door. Flabbergasted, he walked across the room towards the door, and was more than surprised to see Amu sitting on the floor and leaning against the wall, crying her eyes out.

"Amu?" Ikuto called her name. Amu lifted up her head and saw Ikuto kneeling in front of her. With instinct, she hugged him tightly and cried into his chest. Ikuto didn't know what to do, so he snaked his arms around her petite waist and hugged her back, letting her wet the front of his shirt with her tears.

He was in bliss. How long had he dreamt to hug the pinkette this close? He kept embracing her until she stopped crying. Then to his surprise, Amu ran away. Ikuto wanted to run after her but something inside his heart told him to let her be. She needed some time alone. But he hoped that the pinkette had heard his confession and forgiven him.
