A/N: Bit of a cliffhanger! I thank all of my readers who review and simply read my stories! I'd also like to ask that you guys tell me what you would like to happen in Hello, Goodbye! Although, your suggestion may not be used. Here is the next chapter and enjoy!

Ikuto's POV

After we finished freaking out, I still somehow managed to stay calm. A thought suddenly clicked in my head. My family has ties to the school and a friend whom is a nurse at a local hospital. I wonder if it's possible for her to do a private examination for Amu.

But what would everyone think when they didn't see Amu and her name wasn't called for examination.

Amu's POV

Nagihiko and Ikuto contemplated for an hour. Nagi suggested we could randomly point in many directions and scream things like," A UFO!" or," A giant mushroom!" But I just shook my head.

I finally chimed in," What if I said I was going to be absent that day so I needed an early session. Preferably a female doctor, of course."

"That would never work! Who would believe that? Are you stupid?" Ikuto scoffed.

"Yeah, absent. Pssshhh, yeah right." Nagi tossed my suggestion aside.

Kukai, who we'd invited into our dorm to help us brainstorm, slapped the back of their heads," You idiots do realize Amu's suggestion was simple and logical right?"

Nagi and Ikuto looked at each other slowly," No. What suggestion?" They spoke in sync and I collapsed, exasperated by the two boys neglecting my ideas and by Kukai's sudden intellectual comment.

Kukai continued for me," Amu suggested she could be absent and need an early examination," I coughed," Oh and a female nurse preferably." I thanked Kukai and Ikuto and Nagihiko thought this over like it was rocket science.

After seven minutes of waiting for a response from them I leapt from the spot I was sitting and clapped my hands together," Okay yup, let's do that. Oh and Ikuto don't forget about our little dare later," I rushed to my suitcase and pulled out a straightener, bra, and violet one-shoulder dress. I changed quickly in the shower and straightened my hair at the bathroom sink and then I walked calmly out of the room after grabbing my purse. Ikuto got up to but stopped at the doorway.

"Where are you going?" Ikuto watched me walk away. I paused my walking and smirked before answering because I knew he wouldn't like my reply.

"A date." After a long silence, I heard the door slam and smiled victoriously to myself and continued on my merry way.

I walked into the fancy restaurant and almost embarrassed myself by tripping at the sight of the huge and glittering chandelier. Luckily, my sort-of date hugged me and managed to catch me.

"Amu-chan! I haven't seen you since graduation!" I heard Kaoru, my senior class rep.

"Kaoru-chan! I'm glad you emailed me you were coming into town!" I giggled excitedly. Kaoru was my best guy friend since every other guy confessed to me. Minus a few, but still. Utau and Rima would always tease me about marrying him one day while Yaya loudly enthused about how she planned our wedding. I love Kaoru and it's not like I don't this the guys cute or funny or completely datable but I want him to be the kind of guy who I can do some of the most stupid things with and show my most embarrassing sides to. And so far he's seen plenty of those.

"Why'd you cut you beautiful hair, Amu-chan? Everyone always told you never to cut or dye your hair! WHY?" A short silence followed before we busted out laughing. An awkward cough was heard and we both turned to view the hostess who thence us to a table towards the corner more so.

I smiled a bit too tensely and replied," I-It got an-n-n-noying and I want-ted to try someth-thing new..." I kept smiling and Kaoru tilted his head slightly.

He suddenly smiled," I understand now! Well, what're you gonna eat? I suggest for you, the 8 oz. filet mignon!" I sat back a little.

"Isn't that expensive?" I yelled to Kaoru. Kaoru laughed embarrassedly.

Kaoru rubbed the back of his head and said," Well I haven't seen you in a couple of months and I've been working so I wanted to spoil you a bit."

I was about to say thank you when a short blonde haired devil walked up," May I take your order?" My eyes slowly scanned up to Rima's face, she appeared thoroughly pissed off.

Kaoru nodded and ordered obliviously to Rima's wrath," She would like the filet mignon, 8 oz., and I would like the shrimp penne." Rima stomped off to the kitchen with our order, threw it at one of the chef's heads and stormed loudly out the side door.

Kaoru and I looked sideways at each other but decided to ignore it. Still, I couldn't help but wonder why Rima would come in, see me, and then leave so quickly... and angrily!

Kaoru, always being the outgoing and funny type, kept our conversations constant and interesting. He kind of reminds me of Ikuto, keeping my life NOT boring, except Kaoru's ways are more pleasant and kind.

A waitress with long blonde ponytails came up to our table with our food and stood looking at us. I sweat dropped," U-Utau... since when did you and Rima start working here?"

Utau clenched her fists and pulled my chair back a little and
whispered to me," H-How is your d-d-d-date going? Do you... like K-Kaoru?" Why would Utau be asking me this and be acting so awkward and uncomfortable, like she was forced to do so?

Before I could retort, a customer tripped over Utau's outstretched leg and was getting ready to yell at her. Utau waved goodbye to me and hid back in the kitchen, I'm guessing she quit/left too.

Kaoru smiled as we returned to our meal, the second I took a bite I was in heaven! Kaoru seemed very pleased with my reaction and was satisfied enough to eat his food also. It didn't take long for us to stuff food down our throats and then the new waiter came to gather our plates.

I stared unshocked and a bit annoyed at the hyper brown-haired boy in front of me," Kukai... really?" Kukai smiled stupidiously and walked back to the kitchen to clean our plates, but he stopped right behind Kaoru. Kukai mouthed to me,' Do you like this guy?' and I glared hard at him. Kukai's eye twitched and he continued,' Do you have romantic feelings for him?' I stood up abruptly.

"Kukai, no! I might've before but not now! I don't know why you guys have shown up here but you've done nothing but interrogate me quietly!" Kukai gave the plates to a nearby waiter and literally ran out of the restaurant. I was left with a confused Kaoru who didn't need to know about what I just said.

After Kaoru paid the check, we left to go to the car. I placed a fake smile on my face and was opening my mouth to talk when Kaoru interrupted," I understand, Amu-chan. I knew you didn't want to date me, but I really do love you. That's why I decided to transfer schools to Waizu Hana! And it's only six minutes from your academy, so I can make sure you fall for me!"

I stood dumbfounded in the parking lot. Kaoru of all people, a loud-mouthed person who'll talk to anyone willing to listen, would know that I in fact had no twin brother. I can't wait to see his reaction when he finds out. And when he learns I'm sharing a dorm with another guy. He's gonna kill me, and then go on a rampage and kill everyone else in the school.

Wait, why did Rima, Utau, and Kukai all want to get the "dish" on my relationship with Kaoru? Did someone really want to know?

A/N: So this is sort of a cliffhanger! Sorry I haven't updated in a loooooooooooooooooong loooooooooooooong really long time! I'm doing a lot of stuff this time of year. Sports, I just went to my Grandpa's funeral, I'm in an honors program at school, my mom has me cleaning EVERYTHING, and I'm trying to watch more animes! Welp, bye!
