Hello dear people of fanfiction.

How are you all?xx

I am super hyper after tennis with my friends, so FUNNEH!

My tennis skills are epicc lol NOT HAHA.

So here's Chapter 31.

Amu's POV

I can't believe this.

Because Ikuto had decided to take me out of the classroom where I was having a detention, the teacher caught me. Now he's extremely mad. He told me that I would have to write 50 pages. Freaking 50! I blame this on Ikuto. Damn, if he just hadn't come into the classroom at that time everything would be fine. I'd find out why Tadase hates Ikuto, and what Ikuto's secret could be. But now, I'll probably never find out. It's made me very suspicious though. If Ikuto wasn't hiding anything he wouldn't have been so eager for Tadase to shut up about whatever he was going to tell me. He did have something to hide. I shouldn't have so easily forgiven him either. He was being irrational, ordering me to stop being friends with Tadase. I guess we've made up, but I am still angry. It's only a few days to new years eve. Kukai hasn't organised anything. All he's being doing is coming down ill. He has a serious cold. Apparently. I'm just wondering if he really has a cold, or if he's skiving. He probably can't be bothered to do anything. If he doesn't get 'better' this party will never happen. Although, nor will that kiss. Hmm, maybe it's not too bad of an idea just to skip the party. We'll just celebrate Ikuto's birthday when it comes round next year.

I sighed, dang it was a cold today. It looked like it would snow. There was frost on the front and back of cars, it was on houses, trees, it was everywhere. Even on me. I sneezed starting to feel ill myself. Great, maybe I'll be too ill for the party. I was walking down the road to the local park. Today we were officially off school, we had a little holiday. I was enjoying it, but on the first day I had nothing to do. Being at home wasn't what I wanted. I was bored, I needed to get out. I was about to turn a corner when someone pulled my arm making me stop. My first instinct was of course Ikuto, as he had done such a thing many times. But this time it wasn't.

I looked at Utau, for once her hair was down, instead of how she usually had it up. Her cheeks were pink from the cold.

"Hey," she greeted as I simply nodded back.

I wondered what she wanted. Utau and I were no longer enemies anymore, we were starting to become friends. But I had never talked to her in a nice normal way without someone else around. So talking to her seemed a little weird. She really didn't seem like herself. She was being shy. Not like her at all. I narrowed my eyes. Could this possibly be about Kukai?

She lifted her head as she looked at me firmly in the eyes, "Can you come with me to Kukai's house?"

I was right. Weird, I never thought I would be able to guess that easily. She was probably worried about Kukai as he was ill.

"Why do you want me to come with you?" I asked.

She shrugged, "I don't know, just come ok?"

I sighed and shrugged my own shoulders. She smiled slightly as we made our way to Kukai's house.

Utau was pretty today, as normal. She never seemed to fail at this. But she was a singer, so she had to be pretty all the time. But wait, I'm a proffesional singer. I nearly forgot about that after all that's happened. Wait...how many months has it been?

"So how are you and Ikuto?" she asked.

The thought that had been inside my head disappeared as she asked me this question.

"Well, it's fine."

It wasn't just fine. It was wonderful. But I was now thinking about his secret. Another thing to think about.

We came to Kukai's house as Utau hit loudly on the door. When no one came after a few seconds she decided to yell.

"KUKAI!" she screamed as a large THUD was heard from inside the house.

She folded her arms as I heard Kukai stagger to the door. He opened it slowly his face as white as a sheet. He was only wearing what seemed to be his pyjamas. A top and boxers. That was all.

"Oh come on. Did you really have to make me get out of my bed?" he moaned.

Utau snorted, "You didn't have to. You should thank me, I think it's better you get off your butt."

Kukai coughed violently and said sarcastically, "Aww gee. Thanks."

Utau barged past him into his house as both Kukai and I followed. I looked at him, he did really look ill. So he definitely wasn't skiving.

"You ok?" I asked him.

He smiled at me, "Yeah, I'm not dead yet."

We went into the living room as he collapsed on the sofa. He covered his arm over his eyes as Utau sat on the armrest.

"Why are you two here anyway?" he asked as he put his arm down.

Yeah, why were we here? I hadn't really asked Utau that. Utau rolled her eyes like it was obvious.

"Duhh, have you forgottenabout New Years? It was your plan after all," Utau sighed.

Kukai widened his eyes and nodded remembering.

"Ah, yeah. I think I might not be able to come. Sozza."

Utau glared at him as she shrank back into his seat.

"What? I can't help it that I'm ill. Stop glaring at me woman!"

I stopped Utau from doing anything to Kukai as I said, "It's ok. Even if Kukai is ill he can still give us ideas, right?"

Utau shrugged and looked at Kukai, "Got any bright ideas?"

Kukai sat up straight as he pondered over this. After a minute or so he seemed to come up with an idea.

"Well, leave it to Nagihiko," he said simply.

We looked at him quizically as he explained it to us.

"Nagihiko is great at planning parties, he'll have everything finished pronto."

Later...

It was now late. Utau and I had been at Kukai's for a long time so now we were going home. We came up to a point where we had to go our seperate ways as Utau turned around smiling.

"Well bye!" I said as I turned around ready to go home.

"Wait!"

I looked at her wondering why she wanted me to wait. She stood next to me a very seious look on her face.

"Amu, I probably haven't told you this yet but I'm sorry," she paused, "For coming between you and Ikuto."

She was apologising now? That dilemna had been fixed ages ago. There was no hate between me and her anymore. But she seemed more relieved that she had got it out of her system.

"It's fine," I said.

She hugged me and smiled.
