Chapter 5: Love Is For The Winners Not the Quitters

"Good Afternoon Amu!"

Amu looked up to see Tadase smiling at her, seated at the table in the garden.

"A..a..fternoon." Amu was surprised to see him both healthy and chipper. Wasn't he supposed to be mad at her and sick?

"So what happened last meeting?" Tadase addressed the others who also went silent, sensing the awkwardness Amu had let on to.

"We talked about the super awesome grad party!" Yaya said.

"Rima volunteered to help us with the party." Nagihiko mentioned.

"I do what I can." Rima said, breaking her poker face with a small smile.

"And Amu wants us to have it in the observatory!" Yaya smiled.

"That's a great idea, I'll mention it to the Chairman Tsukasa later about it." Tadase smiled.

"And I'm coming too! We need invites!" Yaya added.

"I hope I'm invited too if Yaya is coming!"

They turned around to see Kukai smiling at them.

"You came to visit us!" Yaya jumped up.

"Of course, did you think I'd just disapear after the battles?" Kukai smiled. He looked at the group and noticed Amu was sitting their awkward and quiet.

"Amu why don't you go get us some things for the invites, we'll need to create a design.

"Miki should be good at that." Nagihiko smiled.

"Okay, sure, why not?" Amu woke up from her daze and agreed.

"I'm already starting!" Miki started to sketch the invites.

"Why don't I come with you to go get the paper and supplies?" Kukai nudged Amu.

"Really?" Amu got soft, and suddenly caught herself. "Well I didn't really think that shopping was your thing Kukai..."

"Well I'm good at sports so why dont you help me train in shopping..." Kukai shrugged. "Plus I mean can't be good at everything, but I sure can try to be." Kukai smiled proudly.

"Okay." Amu smiled.

"Why don't we go right now...see you guys later!" Kukai grabbed Amu's arm and rushed her out of the garden.

"Ahhhh.." Amu trailed off behind the ever speedy Kukai.

The others just watched dumb founded.

"I guess they won't get to enjoy the snacks I brought for today." Nagihiko shrugged bringing out cupcakes.

"But I will!" Yaya's eyes grew large at the cupcakes.

"So what's going on with you?" Kukai stared at Amu once they were out on the streets.

"Huff...huff..." Amu was trying to catch her breath. "What do you mean?"

"The Amu-chan I remember was not quiet? Plus you looked like you havn't slept for days..." Kukai looked down at her. "I mean those bags..."

"Maybe I don't want to get sleep..." Amu tensed up, peeved at his bags comment.

"Come on Amu-chan." Kukai smiled at her coyly.

"Okay okay..." Amu gave up. "Tadase and I..."

"Are you guys dating! Finally because I was going to say you guys..." Kukai inquired.

"Actually..." Amu let her head slide down, and she looked sheepishly to the ground. "I kinda broke it off..."

Kukai looked at her. "Wow Amu, I thought you really liked him...I mean you did admit it in front of the school...oh wait is it because you like someone else?" He raised a small eyebrow at her.

"I dont really need a boyfriend or anything." She jumped back to her "cool and spicy" appearance.

"Ah, I know, you like me!? Thats why, your torn, I always was better than Tadase at sports." Kukai winked at her.

Amu blushed. "No that's not it at all!"

"He's only bugging Amu-chan." Daichi laughed with Kukai.

Kukai joked and gave her a small nudge. "Seriously, if you do you should make sure you don't hurt Tadase in the process. He really likes you know."

"I know he does..." Amu's stomach twisted again.

"But if you like someone else, don't give up on your feelings. Sometimes it takes a little push to let that someone else know of your feelings...how do you think I got Utau." Kukai smiled and winked again.

"You and Utau?" Amu repeated wide eyed.

"Yea, I actually told her I liked her... with a little work, I got myself a date." Kukai admitted.

"Wow...you know maybe your right." Amu realized, and smiled.

"That's what I'm here for!" Kukai smiled back. "Got to get in running for the person's heart you know! Otherwise they're going to forget you! Plus I can help you keep Tadase happy too! I dont think he'll ever stop caring for you...even if you like someone else. Were like a family remember, Guardians for life!"

"Your right!" Amu smiled.

"Now about that shopping training?" Kukai smiled.

"Well how about we go get paper...and maybe some stamps and markers..." Miki pitched in.

"Bet I can beat you to the craft store first!" Kukai smiled.

"You probably can...why don't you go ahead..." Amu smiled nervously.

"No way, comon i've trained you better! Lets go Amu!" Kukai grabbed her hand.

"Oh no not again! O_O " Amu yelled as she was rushed off behind Kukai.
