A/N: LONG TIME NO UPDATE XD This chapter was not edited or anything so it's not the best (in my opinion). Thanks for all the views (Nearly 4K! :O), reviews/votes, favorites!

I find it funny that most reviews say, "I hate Julie" or "Why does Julie have to get in the way or Amuto?!" XD I am sorry for that, but all romance fanfics has to have a love rival, right? ;) BUT DO NOT WORRY. JULIE WILL BE OUT OF THE PICTURE SOON. SOON.

Chapter 14 Amu POV

I should have known. Kukai said he was taking out the trash, he never takes out the trash.

We were playing a video game together in the living room, when he suddenly looks out the window and says 'I have to take out the trash.'

'Um okay, I'll just.. wait I guess.' I replied. Kukai went to the kitchen and took the filled trash bag and walked out the door.

I continued playing the game, when I saw a blue dot on the tv screen. Blue dot? What? I moved closer to the tv and looked at it. No, the game doesn't have a blue dot.. so that must mean that it came from outside.

I looked back at the window behind me and saw a not-so-pleasant sight. Kukai's trash bag was in his hand, Ikuto was helping the girl up. Yeah, the girl who kissed him, the girl who was probably his girlfriend.

I ran to the door and pulled it open a crack. I saw him; Ikuto, holding the girl's hand. 'A-Amu..' Ikuto said.

'Ikuto..hi.' I replied.

All that time we weren't together, all the things I've wanted to say to him, and all he says to me is 'A-Amu.'.

I forced myself to walk up to the girl and say, 'You must be Ikuto's girlfriend, yes?'

She replied with a simple 'Yeah..'. Ooh, so she was a shy girl - like me. I guess Ikuto likes the 'shy girl' type.

'Amu, it's not what it looks like! It's a misunderstanding!' Ikuto yelled out as I shook the girl's hand.

'What's to misunderstand?' I said.

Pfft, who did he think he was? Poor girl, she has to be told 'It's a misunderstanding!'. That's like saying 'It's a misunderstanding, we are not together even though we look like it.'. I never noticed Ikuto was so cold, until now. Or is it just me?

'Come on Kukai, let's give them some privacy,' I said. I couldn't stand to look at his face. I was so tempted... so tempted to run up to him and hug him. But I'm not his girlfriend anymore, so I can't do that. But those lips, those arms..I wanted him to hug me, kiss me.

I was about to go back inside and pretend this never happened, but I noticed I didn't know the girl's name. And I was pretty sure I can't keep calling her 'Ikuto's girlfriend' for the rest of my life.

'Oh yeah, I never got your name.' I said. 'Julie. Julie Osomoto.' she replied.

So Julie Osomoto.. that's your name. 'Nice to meet you Julie, I'm Amu. Amu Hinamori.' I said.

'Yeah, Ikuto told me' she says. Oh? So she knows who I am. Because of Ikuto. A guy usually doesn't tell his current girlfriend about his ex, right?

'Ikuto, you better treat her well.' I choked out. Even though it pained me, I had to say it; It would only be fair. Besides, I had to be happy for them. I felt tears in my eyes, oh crap. I was tearing up other this? How pathetic. I hurriedly took Kukai's wrist and dragged him back inside. As I closed the door, the tears fell down my cheek.

As soon as I closed the door, I started sobbing. I guess seeing Ikuto was too much for me or something. I was just standing, my back to the door – sobbing. Geez, what is wrong with me? I'm so pitiful.

I sinked to the ground and put my head into my hands. 'A-Amu...' I heard Kukai say. I looked up at him and he immediately blushed. Why would he be blushing at a time like this? 'I-it's going to be okay..' he said, 'because.. if Ikuto's not here for you.. I'll always be.'

'R-really?' I asked, looking at him.

He nodded while looking at the floor. 'Forget about Ikuto.. and go out with me.' he said, 'it pains me to watch you cry and get hurt. The worst part is that I'm powerless in this situation. I told you that I would lend a shoulder for you to cry on, so why dont you try going out with me? I know you'll never love me as much as you love Ikuto, but maybe we could try.. you know?' He put out his hand.

To accept.. or to decline? This small hand gesture was like a request. If I didn't take his hand, that would mean that I declined his request. But if I took it... I would be his new girlfriend. Kukai's girlfriend; Kukai's 'girl'. And he was right, I probably would never love him as much as I love Ikuto..but for now, I needed someone to lean on - someone to comfort me.

I decided to take his hand and he pulled me up. What have I got to lose? Besides, Ikuto has Julie now, he doesn't need me.

He led me to the couch. I sat down and Kukai did too. There we were, the two idiotic looking kids on the couch. I put my head on Kukai's shoulder while he turned on the tv.

'Spongebob – that's nice Kukai.' I said sarcastically.

'What? You don't like Spongebob?' he asked.

'No, I love him.' I replied.

'Good.'.

Occasionally, we would both laugh at the funny parts and comment about how stupid Patrick is. Soon, my eye lids felt heavy and my eye sight got blurry. I yawned and covered the mouth.

'You can go to sleep you know,' Kukai said, 'but before you do..'. He leaned in and put his lips against mines. His lips were soft, like Ikuto's. I looked up at him with a shocked expression.

Kukai seemed to like that he surprised me, so he smiled and said 'Now go to sleep.'. I nodded and leaned on him, blushing. I fell asleep while looking at Spongebob and Patrick chase the jellyfish through the fields.

A/N: So. This chapter was a little bit rushed. If everything went a little bit slower - like if Amu took more time to think - I think it would be much better. But since I love you all, I updated! I do like Spongebob, but I think he's mostly annoying.

The voting is still going on! In case you didn't know: There is a voting going on, 'Should the ending be Kukamu or Amuto?' VOTE! PLUUUUHHEASE! (You can vote on my profile, the poll is there. Or if you are on an iPad, iPod, iPhone - you can just say what kind of ending you want in a review) Right now, Amuto is winning, so Kukamu fans - VOTTEE! Make tons of accounts and vote Kukamu xD

I am pretty sure the ending is clear. Amuto is WHOOPING KUKAMU'S BUTT. xD Don't give up Kukamu fans!
