-Chapter 3: The thin line between communication and suffocation
----
-That same evening in a middle-upper class Tokyo condo uptown:
A toned-built but voluptuous strawberry blond young lady slouched against her folded arms a top her desk.
She observed an item with sick fascination as she leaned her chin over her arms.
about a foot away a small entity sat there looming over her like a shady tree on Halloween night.
She felt as thou it laughed at her, every time it jolted,
She dreaded when it's green lights flashed.
Got a chill down her spine when she felt it start vibrating atop the wooden surface.
The hot pink shell an eyesore to her at times.
Her cell phone which she had decided to leave on "vibrate" after too many calls zoomed round and round on her desk as she received another mail from him.
"Tadase-kun...." she read on the small outer display.

Message from T. Hotori:
Amu-chan, I love you.
What are you doing, do you mind if I call your home,
I've mailed and texted you before, maybe you are asleep,
if not, mail me back, i would like to hear from you.
Tadase.
---
She sighed, breathing out heavily thru her mouth as she sent the message to join the rest of the ten emails he had sent her today to the folder labeled Tadase-kun.
Whether it was day or night, too early or too late, a holiday or any regular day, she could sure expect a batch of calls, text messages, or emails from him. In the beginning she thought herself lucky, and that it was cool that he was being such a dedicated boyfriend. Then after a few months she felt he was a little too communicative, then he started posting on her social web pages, after that she started feeling- what could she use as a descriptive here? exposed, no not exposed.
Suffocated, yeah thats the perfect descriptive word for how she was feeling right now. She now had to screen her phone calls. It wasn't that he was a stalker, or very short of becoming one; since the day he appeared at her front door at a wee too early time in the morning saying he was there to take her out on a date.
Miki, who was currently sketching Amu's troubled facade crossed her arms "You need to put a stop to this Amu-chan, you don't even get together with the rest of the gang anymore because of him."
Su waved her whisk in the air, "Oh dear Amu-chan, how did it go wrong? why is he this way? is there anyway you can fix it?"
Ran waltzed around in front of the mirror puffing her hair with her pompoms. "He likes me, he really likes me!" she said the only one oblivious to her owners true issues with the guy right now. Referring to the confession from Tadase that day at the ski-slopes.
Dia corked an eyebrow at Ran and leaned against the offending phone device. "Amu-chan sometimes the star you first decided to follow is not the one you end up with in the end. Sometimes a stars' radiance dies down after a while. Then you can see its not so much of a star path you want to choose afterwards."
Amu swung around in her ergonomic chair "I guess you are right Dia, it's not the same, the fact is that I was first enamored with his cool outer persona, now that I truely know him, I think...I-"
She was cut off as her phone zoomed round and round again signaling another message.
Amu cringed as she reached for it to answer, then she thought of turning it off before reading the new message “it would be from Tadase-kun surely anyways” and curled her fingers back just before hitting the power button.
'But what if its someone else, maybe a email from Nadeshiko?!'
Amu held her breathe as she picked it up and read the outer display,

Message from U.Hoshina
---
“Utau!” Amu squealed excitedly as she flicked open her phone to read the message,
"Yay! at last communication from another live entity!"
Amu flipped open her phone and dived on the bed munching on pocky as she played with her hair, and listened to music as she read the message her friend had sent her.
"Oi! Amu chan, meet me at the cafe at the mall tonight, Utau ;-9"
Amu smiled as she quickly typed up a response for Utau.
“Hi Utau-chan it would be nice to be able to hang out again; I’ll be waiting in the same cafas always! Amu”
She made sure the message was sent and then kicked off the bed asking her charas what to wear to the impromptu girl-thing at the mall.
“So guys we are meeting up with Utau at the mall what should I wear?” Miki and Ran cheered and Su said “something cute!” as they pointed to a thigh high stretch jean dress, her leather Mary Jane booties and lacey white stockings along with a tan colored beret to polish off the look.
She finished dressing up and ran downstairs holding her booties in her hand where she found her mama and told her she would be going to the mall for a while tonight, as she finished putting on her shoes in the genkan.
She observed her little sister iddly while she secured the leather straps on her shoes. Ami who was now going to start sixth grade next semester had grown into a very pretty girl, her complexion the same as Amu's - peaches and cream, the same honey colored eyes, Ami was almost identical to Amu when she was young, all but her long bronze colored hair which she wore in pigtails just like her idol Utau-chan, swung around as she sung to her hearts content along with the video game console her father had gifted them on Christmas while he took pictures to add to the already vast but growing collection.
Amu was glad her family was together and happy as always. Her family was her little piece of Heaven.

Later in the evening.
Location: Shibuya Shopping District. Shibuya Metroplaza Mall
A while later an expensive European sports cars' motor hummed as it pulled up to the curve of the Shibuya Metroplaza Mall, along the vast array of see-thru boutique displays and outdoor cafe shops. The car silently vibrated to the beat of its powerful engine, being that the driver had decided not to follow the mode dictated by a traffic sign on the corner and kill the engine while one of its passengers got off.
The door popped open, a delicate manicured hand gripped the door as a pair of dainty feet wearing black wedge platform sandals appeared behind the vacant space, soon followed by a pair of shapely long creamy legs adorned with a dark jean ruffled skirt that whispered secrets every time the evening breeze caressed her form. Her pigtails iddly swaying in the breeze. She brushed a hand thru her side-sweeped bangs, then down her generous bust concealed by her puffy yellow blouse brushing away any invisible piece of lint and stepped up on the sidewalk.
Her curvy hips falling into a rhythm as she walked towards the double glass doors of the mall entrance. The last rays of daylight shinning off her designer sunglasses, and her suntanned skin.
Kukai lifted his sunglasses running a hand thru his messy spiked auburn tresses and propped both his muscular arms behind his head. Silently admiring his girlfriends womanly figure.
He wolf-whistled calling out to her afterwards, “Oi, angel! You' leavin' without giving me a goodbye kiss sugar?”
Utau stopped mid step looking over her shoulder devilishly smirking at Kukai, her glossy pink lips puckered blowing a kiss his way, then she raised her shades with her thumb and forefinger, to wink at him.
“Pick me up at nine o' clock sharp champ!”
Kukai saluted her as if he were a militia receiving an order, “yes ma'am” he joked agreeing to her petition, and gunned the engine, racing out of the pick-up/drop off ramp at the mall.
Utau giggled to herself “that Kukai is sure something, I think I really do love him” she sighed light heartedly and continued walking towards the mall entrance, IL and EL silently following behind her.
---
After an hour subway ride towards the Shibuya Shopping District, she arrived at the mall, calling her mother to tell her she was fine Amu stepped off the escalator on the second floor at the mall while she listened to the instrumental music that accompanied the interior minimalist decor. She was plucked out of her mental distraction by an azure shine that glistened out of the corner of her eye calling out to her and spiking her curiosity, later to find out it was just a happy couple walking by at the moment. The girls' boyfriend wore his azure hair in uneven spikes, a trend apparently.
“Damn! This is bad, even that hair color reminds me of himcmaybe Utau is going to surprise me with the news that Ikuto-kun is backc” Amu sighed ‘A girl can only hope’
She walked towards the entrance of the cafshe had promised to meet up with Utau at and walked in. EL waved her over to their table.
“EL the one and only extraordinary ang-El of love senses four bars of loneliness from Amu!”
IL grinned the same as Utau and both of them winked at her, “I wonder why would that be?”
Amu blushed and looked away, “you don’t have to make it so obvious, you could miss him too right, because he is your brother?”
The blond nodded “its different now, since I’m not crushing on him anymore. You on the other hand are coming apart at the seamsc”
Amu sighed and laid her head down on her crossed arms on the table, feeling very small and insignificant.
Utau decided to change the subject seeing as Amu was so out of sorts, “So how is the graduated life treating you? Have you gotten a booklet for the prep course required for college yet?”
Amu shrugged and sighed again puffing her cheeks out, utterly bored. Utau slid something out from under her purse and held it in her hand tapping it with the other, an envelope of some sort. “then if you are so bored, let me make you an offer,” the strawberry blond perked up at that and propped her chin in her cupped hand listening eagerly the spring would be long and oddly boring and repetitive next to Tadase and Nagihiko since Rima was going to which ever country her parents were living in to visit them before college started and Yaya was going to have to babysit her brother everyday since her mother started working again.
Oh and Kukai? Well when he wasn’t on the field training for soccer meets ever since he got scouted by a seven digit paying soccer club he was spending time with his lovely sweetheartcA.K.A. the girl sitting in front of Amu at the moment, Utau. How they got together? it still was shady around the edges but Kukai had mumbled something about a playground and swings and kissing when Amu tried pinching it out of him.
“Then what are you doing for this summer? Staying home?” Amu shrugged again and sighed, “I don’t know Utau since Rima will be visiting her parents, and Yaya will be babysitting her brother I’ll hang out with my family, I guess.”
Utau smirked and IL snickered, the blond tossed the envelope atop the table, a plane ticket sliding out of it landing a few inches from her slack hand. It read “First Class V.I.P member round trip seven destinations.”
“Since you are now a legal adult, would you like to accompany me on my upcoming tour?”
Amu blinked and reached for the envelope, she read the contents of it making her eyes bulge, V.I.P passes to all seven concerts, locations still unnamed, a Priority Customs Pass card for the airport, V.I.P black card for exclusive service at the hotels and restaurants they would visit while traveling with Utau on her tour, the list of the envelope contents was endless.
“So, how about it Amu-chan? Tour with me for the rest of the spring and the summer while I release my new single and then upcoming CD, travel to seven different countries all expenses paid on the house, courtesy of my recording label?” IL and EL we goofing around on the table playing as actors arriving at a ceremony while Ran, Miki and Su applauded them.
Amu blinked her mind running around in circles, 'from normal girl to princess for the rest of the summer? How could she say no to that?! But what would she tell her parents and Tadase?'
Would her parents allow her to venture so far from home for such an extended amount of time?
On the other hand she had waited so many years for something out of the ordinary to happen, finally one of her good friends was handing her the opportunity to change her surroundings even if it was for a few weeks time on a silver platter.
Amu held the envelope in one hand as she sprung forward to hug Utau awkwardly over the table spilling the water the waiter had served when they arrived all over the place. “Thank you so much Utau-chan! I’ll pay you back for this even if I have to work as one of your crew people while you tour!”
Utau blushed faintly and patted Amu’s back awkwardly “It’s alright Amu-chan think of it as a graduation present on my part.” Utau winked at her and smiled finally convincing the girl, then Amu nodded encouraged as she plopped back in her chair her mood having taken a 180 degree turn in the last five minutes. Utau waved down the waiter to clean the mess Amu had made as she tried hugging her, Amu apologizing the whole time the waiter was there cleaning it up.
Back was the peppy school girl all her friends loved, even if it lasted a few weeks Utau would make sure Amu had the best time of her life for the next eight weeks.
They ordered coffee and an entrplatter to share as they listened to the cover band playing that evening.
Then suddenly Amu stopped bobbing in her seat to the beat of the music altogether to ask Utau a question, “Utau-chan, when do you leave on tour?”
Utau took a sip of the cup of cappuccino she had ordered, “We depart within two days, that should give you enough time to speak to your parents about it.”
The blond flipped her ponytail over her shoulder brushing imaginary dust off the sleeve of her pristine yellow blouse, “don't worry so much about it, I will come along with you and explain the situation to them, I'm more than sure they will agree after a little convincing if not right away.”
Amu nodded, “Hai Utau-chan”
Utau brought the cup off coffee to her lips again and looked at Amu over the rim of the cup, her amethyst eyes held a curious sparkle to them, “Amu-chan, what about Tadase, when are you planning on telling him about your plans to travel with me?”
Amu stuttered almost choking on a piece of fried mozzarella she was currently in the process of scarfing down. “when will I tell Tadase-kun?” she hummed reaching for her purse and extracted her cell phone, rapidly typing up an email to Tadase.

Message to T.Hotori:
Tadase-kun, sorry I haven't answered the last few messages, I went for a walk today wanting to clear my head.
How is your grandmother? I hope she is feeling well.
O.K. Well the thing is that I wanted to tell you that I need to talk to you, so I'm going to visit you tomorrow.
Take care.

And so after she sent the email to Tadase, Utau plucked the phone from Amu's grasp and tossed it in her purse not giving her enough time to dwell on the idea of talking to Tadase about the trip, and then hauled her along with her out the door of the cafe after leaving enough cash on the table to cover the bill along with the tip, then down the posh spacious halls of the mall since she planned to spend the rest of evening buying stuff to take with them on their trip.
