Chapter 14
Normal POV
Amu was running away from Ikuto's hug, she heard him there - he still loved her. But what about her engagement? Deep down, she was happy because Ikuto still loved her but Aoi? What about this blonde man? She had given him a chance but how could she destroy it? It wasn't fair for him...
Who did she love: Aoi or Ikuto? Both of them had special places in her heart but of course the midnight blue-haired man held her heart the most. She still loved him; that was true. But, she also liked the blond man, Aoi. Please note: 'liked', not 'loved'. She knew that her heart had made its choice but the other man was her best friend and he had helped her back then when she had been in the United States.
Amu walked back to Utau's bedroom, making sure that she knock the door first. She heard her best friend told her to go in so she didn't hesitate to open the bedroom's door and slipped in. Utau was sitting on her big bed with Kukai head's on her lap, he was lying down on the bed. Amu raised her eyebrows to Utau and the blond woman blushed.
"Well..." Amu began to speak.
Kukai rose up from the bed and blushed, greeting her before storming out of Utau's bedroom.
"Errr..." Utau was trying to explain.
"It's okay, he is your fiancé. Both of you are lovers." Amu said calmly.
"Thank you?" Utau responded to her pink haired best friend.
They talked for hours before a maid came and knocked on the door, telling both of the young women that dinner had been prepared. Utau dragged the pinkette to the dining room. When they arrived, all of the family members - including Kukai - were already sitting at their own chairs. Utau left the pinkette and walked into Kukai's chair and sat down. The only empty seat
left was the chair beside Ikuto and Amu couldn't do anything except sitting next to the man that had confessed to her a few hours ago.
They began their dinner soon; the dining room was filled with chit chat. Aruto and Ikuto also Kukai were talking about business that Amu didn't have any interest to hear about. She and Utau just looked at each other; they haven't finished their conversation in the blonde's bedroom before the dinner.
'What?' The pink haired girl mouthed to her blond best friend that sat across her.
'Now tell me.' The blond woman mouthed back.
'What the hell are you talking about?' Amu tried to play dumb.
'Don't play dumb with me; I'm your best friend!' Utau demanded.
"What are you two doing?" Souko - the Tsukiyomi mistress - asked when she saw the two young women mouthed silent whispers to each other.
"Ah?" Utau replied her mother while Amu was looking down at her food, she felt embarrassed being caught by her best friend's mom.
"Nothing, Mom, we're just having our girl talk." Utau said to her mother after she had recovered from shock.
The three men were looking at the women right now. Kukai looked at Utau with curiousity in his eyes as Utau shook her head to him. Not long after that, they continued their dinner. Amu and Utau didn't dare to mouth to each other anymore, in fear of being caught by Souko again.
After dinner, Amu and Utau walked back to the blonde's room and continued their girl talk while Ikuto, Kukai and Aruto walked into the old midnight blue haired man's study room.
"Another mission?" Kukai asked when the three of them were arrive at the study room.
"Yeah, we will leave the Takahashi first. Now, this lowlife has been drugging some young women and kidnapping them before raping and killing them." Aruto answered while giving the two young men a document.
Both of the young men looked at the profile and were shocked.
"Why don't we know something about him before?" Ikuto asked his father.
"Well, let's say he is as sly as his daughter. He manages to mask out his crime and vice versa, police has discovered his crime a few days ago and found his little crime in the underworld. Since the police can't interfere with underworld problems they send it to us." Aruto explained.
"Well, let's finish him dude." Kukai said as he stood up and walked away.
They didn't know that a pair of golden eyes were watching them from the slightly open door and gasped before she ran away.

Amu POV
I was talking with Utau in her room but then I felt thirsty so I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water before drinking it down. I was going to walk back to my best friend bedroom when I heard Kukai's voice at the end of the dark hall. I followed his voice due to curiosity and found a slightly opened door. I stood in front of the door and heard what the three men were talking.
"Yeah, we will leave the Takahashi first. Now, this lowlife has been drugging some young women and kidnapped them before rape them then kill them." I heard a deep voice that I recognized as Aruto's and saw he gave Ikuto and Kukai a brown envelope that contained some papers.
Both of the young men looked at the papers and shocked, it made me feel more curious what were they talked about.
"Why don't we know something about him before?" Ikuto asked his father.
"Well, let's say he is as sly as his daughter. He manages to mask out his crime and vice versa, police has discovered his crime a few days ago and found his little crime in the underworld. Since the police can't interfere with underworld problems they send it to us." Aruto answered his son question.
"Well, let's finish him dude." Kukai said and I saw him stood up from the couch that he sat before.
I gasped when I heard they mentioned Takahashi, why were Aoi and his father's name mention? I ran away before Ikuto or one of them caught me. Well, I hoped they didn't know I had heard them just now.
By the way, I was still curious about what were they talking about. Japanese police, underworld, and Takahashi were linked in their conversation. Looks like I needed to ask Utau about these damn things. I walked back to Utau's room - I ran to the kitchen and began to walk so people wouldn't notice my panic - and opened her door. Damn, Kukai and she were kissing on her bed. Wait, I saw Kukai just now; how the hell was he here? How could he arrive faster than me? I was debating with my inner voice.
Utau was the first one to notice me. She pushed Kukai and he protested. Utau pointed at me and Kukai turned his body completely and faced me, they were blushing ten shades. Well, I was so sorry to interrupt them but I really needed to ask Utau these whole things and not to mention how the hell Kukai could arrive faster than me if I walked into her room first.
Kukai was about to walk out when I opened my mouth and spoke, it caught him off guard as he stared at me - both of them stared at me – wide-eyed.
"Kukai, I want to ask you a question. What the hell are you talking about with Ikuto and Aruto in his study room about my fiancé?" I asked Kukai but like I had predicted before, Utau also knew something about this.
"..." I received no replied from both of them.
"Well?" I began to lost my patience when a midnight blue haired man banged in the door and pushed me, made me fell on the floor - or about to fell to the floor because a strong arm gripped in my waist and pulled me. Sigh, at least I was safe.
"What takes you so long Kukai?" The midnight blue haired man spoke.
"Ikuto, I think we have a serious problem here." Kukai spoke.
"What the hell are you talking about, dude?" Ikuto asked the brunette.
"Well, you see, Amu found out about our mission tonight." the brunette talked.
I looked at the tall man whose hand was still on my waist and his eyes widened just like the two friends of mine had before. Okay, now I felt like the most idiotic person in this place. Kukai and Ikuto also Utau definitely knew something that I didn't know.
Ikuto then dragged me out from his sister room, I began struggling but his arms were gripping my petite body strongly. He dragged me until we reached Aruto's study room. He opened the door and slipped in followed by his sister and her fiancé before they closed the door. The older midnight blue haired man was still inside the room and looked at us quizzically.
"What brings the four of you here?" Aruto spoke when we sat down on the couch. Kukai was beside Utau, and I was beside Ikuto. I was waiting for one of the three friends of mine to start but none of them seemed willing to speak up.
"Well, would you mind telling me about Japanese police, underworld and my fiancé problem?" I spoke up. Well, I expected Aruto's face to be surprised, but instead, he remained calm.
"What are you talking about, Amu?" Aruto asked me back. Okay, this whole thing made me look more than a stupid person.
"C'mon Aruto, I heard it just now." I replied him.
"Just tell her, Father." Ikuto spoke up and nodded his head to Aruto.
"Well, I guess you deserve to know the truth. You see, Ikuto, Kukai and I are part of the biggest gang in the underworld called 'Black Lynx'. I think you might have heard it before. We are part of Japanese police; we work with them to 'finish' underworld problems. Underworld is a world that contains black-market or yakuza in there and mostly known for the drug dealing, black market for many imported goods and murdering world. There're no written rules for underworld. Only one unspoken rule that is applied at the underworld, that's the strongest and the biggest gang in the underworld could rule the underworld and that means us, the Black Lynx. But there're also some gangs that don't like being ruled by us, they always oppose us. Japanese police can't interfere with the underworld organization, that's why we are there as the police of underworld. About your fiancé, sorry to say but he is part of the underworld organization that opposes us. His father, Takahashi Claire was a well-known drug dealer and a murderer. His cases are still kept unaware from the business world; only we Black Lynx know his crimes." Aruto explained to me.
Then I was engaged to a murderer and a drug dealer's child. The hell? Okay, this was a bit crazy for me. I nodded my head when I heard all of Aruto's explanation. Ikuto and the other three people in the room looked at me. I excused myself from them and walked into the guestroom that Utau had prepared for me before. I slipped into the room, sat on the bed and started thinking.

Still Amu POV
Okay this whole underworld thingy made me confuse. My fiancé's father or my soon-to-be father-in-law was a drug dealer and a murderer. He was murdering someone that I didn't know who. But hey, I didn't want to be married into a murderer family. Maybe Mom and Dad could help me if I told them? Wait, I bet my parents knew about Aruto's other job despite being the former president of Tsukiyomi Enterprise.
I didn't want to stress myself too much with this matter so I let myself laid down on the king sized bed and let my eyes closed, slipped into a deep sleep.
