Hello my Rose Buds!

Well it seems that Utau has entered this fanfiction and has announced that Kukai was her's. Unkai was blushing?! WHAT? and for Who?

I'm sure you'll find out in this chapter! :D

Chapter 7:

Recap

"Utau?!" Kukai and Unkai shouted at the same time.

"Unkai?" Utau turned around to reveal Amu and Unkai who were right behind her.

"You!" Utau growled glaring at Amu with her lavender eyes. The same lavender eyes that saw Kukai and Amu together in his house. "Kukai's mine!" Utau announced still glaring down Amu.

"Uuuhh..." Amu felt chills go up and down her spine feeling her glare as she glanced at Kukai who face palmed. Then glancing up at Unkai Amu noticed he was covering his mouth and was...

Blushing..?

Recap over

"Aaahh. Utau-chan! It has been a while! Are you visiting?" Astuko came over to see what the fuss was about with a apron on and a spatula in hand.

"Souma-san! Ah, yes. My manager told me that I need to get my education done before I can continue." Utau then became reserved and proper towards Kukai's mother. "So I thought it was a great excuse to come back to where I grew up and take a break from all the American drama." Utau explained smiling towards Astuko.

"Oh what a good and smart girl you are." Astuko complimented Utau as she blushed staring down at the door step.

"Actually, I didn't just come here to visit." Utau started with a bit of a stern look. "I wanted to ask a favor of you."

"What is it?"

"I was wondering if you would do me the honor of letting me stay in your house for a couple days." Utau asked as she bowed her head.

"Well, lucky for you, we still have one room left vacant for you." Atsuko spoke with a smile as she motioned everyone to enter the house. As everyone did so Amu took another glance at Unkai who seemed a bit more quite than usual.

"Unkai?" His eyes then widened looking at Amu. "Uh. You okay?" Unkai then glanced back at everyone else in front of them to see that they weren't paying attention to him and Amu. Holding his finger against his lips with serious eyes towards Amu, "Yeah, I'm fine... I'll tell you later." Unkai whispered as he glanced back to the people in front of him seeing that they all were already inside the house.

Then keeping eye contact with Amu as they both nodded. "Oh wait!" Amu spoke before he went inside. "...I uh, just wanted to thank you for driving me home and listening." Amu then smiled faintly up to Unkai who was a bit taken back but smiled back replying with a "No problem, kiddo." as he ruffled her head. "Ah, Unkai! My hair!" Amu whined as Unkai chuckled.

Amu's eyes widened taking a mental notice that Unkai called him 'kiddo' instead, as she tried to fix her hair seeing that Unkai's gaze was inside where Utau and Kukai sat having conversation with each other.

"Is it her?" Amu asked taking notice at the obvious facial expression on Unkai's face. "Huh?" His face looked surprised again as she just stared at his face. "I'm asking if the one you like is Utau." Amu asked frustrated that Unkai wasn't following her at all. "Ah..." Unkai was hesitant as he glanced back at the couch inside where Utau and Kukai were catching up. Since everyone else was inside already he thought might as well tell Amu. "Is it that obvious?" Unkai whined a bit hoping that no one else has noticed. "I'm not so sure about everyone else but it is to me." Amu giggled seeing that Unkai was looking completely vulnerable at the moment. "Do you think they do?!" Unkai was completely worried, loosing his cool over a girl is not something that he wanted everyone in his family to know. Amu had let out a shrug not really helping him that much, from what he saw.

"Promise me, no matter what don't tell anyone. Anyone. Got it?" Unkai stared straight into Amu's eyes as she just nodded and giggled a bit taken back at how serious he was taking this.

"Amu?"

The said girl turned around as Unkai looked up from her, both seeing Ikuto in his casual clothing's and his natural messy blue hair. "Ikuto!"

"What are you doing here?" Ikuto asked pretty sure that this was the Souma's house as he eyed Unkai wondering why him and Amu were outside, by themselves. "Hey! Sensei! It's been a while since that teacher conference." Unkai greeted him remember that one day where everyone was busy and the only one who was able to go was Unkai. 'Yeah it has."Ikuto responded as naturally as possible but was clearly confused as to why Amu was here. "Why is Amu here?" He asked wanting to get into this topic.

"She's living with us now." Unkai stated as both him and Amu looked at him confused seeing that he was now just upset. "Didn't Kukai tell you? I just assumed that you already knew.." Amu spoke a bit guilty now knowing that Ikuto was left out, and she knew that he didn't like being the last to know of things. "I'm sorry! I should have told you!" Amu apologized as Ikuto just shook his head trying to get a hold of himself. He wasn't her boyfriend anymore, he can't get jealous.

"Ikuto-nii!" Utau said coming out of the house. "Did you bring my luggage?" She asked so naturally unconsciously intruding the moment.

"Why else would I be here?" Ikuto honestly felt like a bell boy around her, but he loved his little sister anyways. The said girl walked by her brother to get her stuff from Ikuto's car.

"Ah! Ikuto! Good to see you again! I'm sorry I couldn't make the teacher conference last time." Atsuko now entered the conversation casually as Ikuto responded casually..

Amu took everything that she had heard and tried to register it all in her brain. Ikuto and Utau are siblings while all the Souma's were already quite friends with the Tsukiyomi's. "Wait. Why doesn't Utau just live with Ikuto. I'm sure he has his own space." Amu reasoned not understanding a few things. "Well you see..."Ikuto started and then Utau intruded in again, her luggage in hand. "I refuse to live with him! It's just not cute at all!" Utau reasoned as Amu remembered that Ikuto had simple taste in colors. It wasn't bad but it wasn't really exciting either, which is probably what Utau is talking about. "Everything is either dark blue or black or white. It's so dark a gloomy. There aren't even different shapes or colors. It's just straight or angled perfectly." Utau complained as Amu noticed that Ikuto hasn't changed at all, letting out a sigh. Ikuto just shrugged, "I like it."

"We only need the room for a few days until we find a good apartment for Utau to live in." Ikuto explained as he went to grab the rest of her luggage form his car. "I'll help with the luggage!" Amu offered as she went with Ikuto while everyone else went back inside. Opening the trunk of his car to reveal pile of bags and luggage's. "Whoa.." Amu let out. "And this is only for a couple of days?" She asked seeing that Ikuto let out a sigh as he simply nodded, already grabbing a handful of bags in each hand.

Silence filled the air as Amu went to grab bags as well and Ikuto looked at her in the corner of his eye but he decided not to do or say anything touchy or emotional. As time went by both were pretty much done unloading and Ikuto already had gotten thanks from everyone and from his sister two for carrying everything. Getting into his car Amu waited to send him off but looked really hesitant a bit. "Ikuto!" Amu built the courage to speak. "It.. It was good seeing you. The normal you, I mean." Amu let out with a bit of an embarrassed smile as Ikuto held in, gripping the steering wheel he let out a soft smile waving a good bye driving off.

The blue haired man finally stopped a red light a few yards away from the Souma house as his mind wondered back to the embarrassed smile on Amu's face. His right hand released from the steering wheel and lightly covered the lower half of his face. "You're so cruel Amu.." Ikuto whispered to himself as his ears started to heat up. He hung his head as the light turned green but he hadn't moved an inch so drivers behind him had drove to the next lane to leave him in his misery.

.:~:.

The house was dark and silent. Utau had pretty much started to settle in and was sleeping soundly in her temporary bed as everyone else slept in their regular normal beds. Well they all were except for Unkai who got up grumbling about how his mother made him drink tea because she thought he was perfect for the tester of all the different flavors of tea that she had bought that were on sale. To put it simply... Unkai needed to go to the bathroom. At 3am. No worries! Before he went to bed he was so full and worn out that he fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

With Unkai's hair completely down as he exited his room, the cold air hit his body. He was glad that he was wearing long sleeves and pants at the time. Like the usual response he had yawned and was dragging his feet as he walked towards the bathroom. The same bathroom that Unkai and Amu fought over the morning of the funeral. Entering the bathroom he made his way to the toilet and was doing in business. As soon as he was done he took a moment to realize that he could hear something. Someone. Crying. Sobbing.

It only took a moment to realize that it was coming from Amu's room. Unkai slowly, but surely, made his way towards the door that was connected to her room and immediately opened the door. Unkai's eyes immediately directed straight to her bed when the crying suddenly stopped. "Amu?" He spoke as he slowly made his way to her bed wanting to confirm that what he was hearing was her. "Amu, are you crying?" He asked as he just stood there staring at Amu who was completely covered by her blanket. After a few seconds of agonizing silent responses Unkai took it upon him to remove the cover, which revealed Amu who was rolled up into a ball, eyes sealed shut, her mouth completely covered by both her hands to prevent any sort of sound she was going to make, and the pillow that was almost soaked from tears. Unkai saw that there were even still some tears hanging for dear life on her eyelashes and it did break his heart to see her like this. "Amu..."

"No... Go away..." Amu mumbled out as her mouth, her hands now just simply covered her face as tears started falling even more now knowing that she was found out. "I don't want anyone to see me like this.." Her voice so fragile and soft her throat letting out sobs in-between words as she broke down even more. This wasn't the first time Unkai has ever dealt with a crying woman. It was his first time being unable to talk when dealing with a crying woman.

TO BE CONTINUED...!

I think it's a good way ending a chapter! XD ANYWAYS! I hope you all are still enjoying it! :D Even though it's dramatically turned into a really sad Fanfic BUT I PROMISE it'll get better!

ALSO this last moment and up coming moment in the next chapter was requested by Magic-Clown-Drop. I only fulfilled the request because it played really well with what I have planned.

About Ikuto: You know... I was actually surprised at myself for adding that Ikuto scene... Tell me what you think about it! Was it okay to put it in there? Would you be okay with him being lonely forever or would it be okay for an OC to come in a patch him up? I don't really like pairing Ikuto up with anyone other than Amu or Kukai TBH (To be Honest). LOL. And I know that there are people out there that aren't a big fan of OC (sadly I'm one of those) but I feel bad for having Ikuto be lonely and heart broken... REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! ( and when I mean OC I'm talking about me... LOL. Would that be okay? Or not at all? )

Review! Tell me what you think!

( I love positive thoughts most! I'm sorry for those who don't like things about my FF but I'd rather you just tell me what you like about my FF or how I can improve my writing or plotting skills. [If it really does bother you and you need to vent then type it on a wordpad or notes or Microsoft Word, anywhere you can type and only type freely. Just let out your feelings on there and when you're done just delete it all. I've done it before. It was so refreshing! Mainly because I cursed a lot in it. Do that if it helps! Although I highly recommend to delete it as soon as you've let out your feelings if you share your computer or laptop with a parent] LOL. Sorry that somehow became a lesson... still I hope it helped! )

Also Favoriting and Following it would make me happy!

THANK YOU MY BEAUTIFUL ROSE BUDS! Xx.
