Hi everyone! I got to working on the 4th chapter of Back from Home! I might be a while on the chapters because of school, but not too far apart… not very well demonstrated from how long this chapter took, but… STUPID WRITER'S BLOCK! Anyways, story time!
Amu sighed while staring at the ceiling.
She looked at her clock. 7:30 a.m.
Amu flipped her phone open.
She pressed a few numbers and heard a dialtone.
"Yo?"
"Ah. Kukai." Amu said.
"Here and speaking. Who is this?" Kukai asked.
"I'll be at your house at ummmm… about 10 min. Oh. And tell Utau I'm coming. Thanks." Amu said.
"Wait! I-" Kukai got cut off as Amu shut the phone.
Amu quickly erased her tears and cleaned up before heading out.
"Okay. Yosh!" Amu yelled.
She quickly rushed to Kukai's house (how she knew where it was, I don't know) and knocked on the door.
"Coming!" Utau said.
Utau opened the door and there was complete silence for a second.
"-u" Utau whispered.
Utau started to tear up. "-mu.."
"U-utau? Wh-what's wrong?" Amu asked.
Utau bonked her on the head and wiped away her fake tears.
"Baka. I've been working on my acting skills for the past few years. But you wouldn't know because you weren't here.
"Oi! Utau-chan! Did you answer the door yet?" Kukai walked out from the hall in a baggy t-shirt and jeans.
"Huh? Who is this?"
"B-baka!" Utau yelled and hit Kukai on the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" Kukai yelled.
"Can't you see Kukai? It's Amu!" Utau yelled and hit Kukai on the head to form a bump on the former bump of her last hit.
"Ow! Ow! I get it!" Kukai yelled.
Kukai turned his head to examine the girl in the doorway.
"Doesn't look like Hinamori." Kukai said.
"Her hair is longer baka." Utau spit out while gritting her teeth.
"Ah! Hinamori! Now I see it!"
"Ahahaha… Hello Kukai." Amu said.
"Hinamori. Come inside." Kukai said.
"Thanks Kukai." Amu said.
When everyone was all settled on the couch and had some tea in their hand, the questioning began.
"So Amu, when did you come back?" Utau asked.
"Just about 2 days ago." Amu said.
"Why did you come here?" Utau asked.
"Things… happened and changed, so I need to visit all the houses of my past and find out what happened while I was gone."
"Well, you've come to the right place. Are you going to see other people about this?" Utau asked.
"Yes." Amu said.
"Okay. I should probably start off from when you left. Kukai and I were already graduates and we were married right after you left. We hadn't heard that you left, so we got married peacefully and we were devastated to hear that you had left without saying goodbye. We were in grief. We hit a rough spot then.
We were planning for our future, when my career wasn't going so well. My cd's weren't selling as well as they used to, even with Ikuto's help. But I never gave up as more obstacles hit me. Rival singers showed up and I grew older as younger, fresher, newer pop idols showed up. I kept thinking to myself, what would you do? I slowly gained encouragement from my old fans and gained my fame back. We were living in this joyous, peaceful time from about 6 months ago to the present time. That's pretty much all you missed on our side." Utau finished.
Amu bit her lip.
"Thanks Utau. That's what I wanted to hear." Amu said.
"Amu, we haven't talked like this in a long time. Why don't you tell me what you thought changed and what happened to make you think that."
Amu told her of her x eggs and Tadase's cold attitude toward her.
"I see…" Utau said.
"Hinamori, you know what you need right now?" Kukai asked. (yes, he was listening)
"What?" Amu asked, secretly knowing what he would say.
"DASH!" Kukai yelled as he ran out the door, holding Amu's hand.
"K-Kukai!" Amu yelled.
She sprinted to match his speed.
"See Hinamori? Doesn't that feel better? This is what I always do when I'm troubled!" Kukai said.
"I guess so!" Amu said.
"Youuuu… twoooo…"
Amu felt a menacing aura behind them as they ran.
"DASH!" Kukai yelled as he sweatdropped.
"Get back here! Don't leave in the middle of a conversation!" Utau yelled.
"Dash Hinamori! Dash!" Kukai yelled.
"Get back here you two!" Utau yelled, both Kukai and Amu sprinting and dashing, afraid for their lives.
Suddenly, Amu started laughing.
"That's the spirit!" Kukai yelled.
"I haven't known this atmosphere since Elementary at Seiyo! Ahahahaha!" Amu laughed.
Utau and Kukai slowed their running pace to a stop.
"Right?" both Kukai and Utau said at the same time.
"Yeah. Thanks Utau and Kukai. You guys made me feel a lot better. I hope I didn't bother you two." Amu said.
"No problem! Come anytime!" Kukai said with a thumbs-up.
"Ah! It's already 3:23! I'm sorry! I wasted the whole day!" Amu said.
"Amu, good luck." Utau said.
"And… DASH!" Kukai said.
Kukai and Utau ran off at a sprint.
"Ah! W-wait! Ahahaha! I'm coming!" Amu said as she sprinted off after them.
Done! Okay, I know this chapter is shorter than the others, but I couldn't think of any other Kukai and Utau themed topics that could come up. Anyways, sorry if I totally disappear from my account for like a few weeks, schoolwork sucks! JK JK.
