"You're late." Was the first thing she spat when he arrived, panting heavily.

His hand swung back to the back side of his head nervously, "Coach made us run drills after we lost our game. I couldn't explain to him."

But she didn't seem to understand the situation, "You could have called, you know. I let one some crew members off for the night because I thought you were going to come on time."

"I'm not that late." He argued in his defense.

She held up a shiny gold pocket watch. "You're over an hour late. You're lucky the concert doesn't start until eight or else-"

"Utau-chan, calm down!" Eru pleaded, "You shouldn't get too worked up before a big show. Sure, being late is a big crime in the world of love, but Kukai-san is here now, ready to work!" Before they could ask about the "world-of-love," Eru pointed her little hand towards a box filled with fliers. "We need you to take the leftover fliers to the truck please!"

The two glared at each other before she let out a small huff, and he looked away, taking the box with him on his way out.

The door to Utau's dressing room was kicked open by the idol herself, slamming it behind her. "I blew it. I totally blew it."

Amu, who had been lounging on an old antique recliner, dropped her fashion magazine, startled. "What happened?"

Utau scowled at herself in the mirror, fixing her two blonde pigtails. "He was late."

"Who? Ikuto? He got here at the same time I did." Amu stated innocently.

"No."

Amu looked at her confused. When an idea hit her, she asked, "Your dad?"

"No." Utau's tone indicated she was not in the mood for games. "Kukai."

Amu giggled, much to Utau's annoyance. "Don't mind him, Utau. Kukai may seem unruly, but he is someone you can rely on." She stood up and walked over to the clearly upset singer, "He'd never try to ditch his good friends." She looked down, and saw Utau's hand caress a page. She could barely make out the words.

"Don't read it!" She cried angrily. Amu looked startled, and when Utau realized what she had done, she looked away, disappointed in herself. "It's private. I wanted to give it to someone… special."

The twelve year old's golden orbs lighted up, "You mean like a love letter!" There was a small pink blush on her cheeks. Obviously, the girl wanted to know.

Not sure how to explain herself better, Utau fell back on her default option. "Yes. Something like that. Anyway, I don't know if he'll accept it now that I-" She cut herself off, realizing what she was saying, and placed her hand over her mouth.

"What?"

Her hands fell to her sides, turning into fists. "Nothing."

"Utau!"

"It's Kukai, okay!" Her hands returned to cover her mouth, a darker blush creeping on her cheeks. Amu stared at her, dazed.

"Utau?" The younger girl finally asked.

It took Utau a few seconds to ask. "Yes?"

"You should give it to him."

"Thank you for having me tonight!" Utau commented sweetly into the microphone, "I hope to see everyone next time!" She waved to the crowd, taking a bow. The crowd continued to cheer her on as she made her exit stage left.

"Great show."

He was sitting in a director's chair, arms crossed, big smile planted on his face. "They'll remember this show for years, you know?"

Her body started to shake, her face scrunched up. "I'm sorry I yelled at you." She felt like she could explode any second. She had never told sorry to anyone. She always meant what she was doing, so it felt… weird to regret something for once.

"It's fine." He looked at her, standing himself up. "Pre-show jitters, right?"

"Utau! I need to speak with you!"

The girl sighed. "Sanjo-san always likes to talk about the show after we've had a big audience." She pulled out a folded piece of letter. "Don't you dare lose that," With that, she ran off.

Confused, Kukai unfolded the paper, somewhat shocked to see the content.

I have so few words

That I would like to give you

I love you is all.

He smiled at the paper. He had known that there was a poetic side to her being, but then again, there were a lot of things he didn't know.

But he was glad he knew now.

So at the last minute, I decided to make this a short confession chapter, after the concert. Cliched? Totally. Why it was in haiku is actually beyond me. I felt like in a haiku mood, and so… this was born.

I will later post an omake chapter with Tadase in it, but this is the very last chapter of the story, otherwise I will drive myself insane trying to finish it. That is why the last chapter was kind of boring. I have to post something else for once.
