Me: I should be working on Mune Kyun Tropical Island, yes? Well I'm taking a quick breather from it, but I'll update soon I promise!
Ichigo: I don't mind, the story is kind of stuck isn't it?
Me: Exactly, I need to come up with a way to pick up the story again. ^.^
Kashino: Here's an idea, pick it up, and finish it. That way you don't have to worry about it anymore.
Me: Y-you're very blunt Kashino...
Ichigo: Mikashi doesn't own Yumeiro Patissiere!
The blue mists surrounded the kitchen. Kashino looked out the window, the mist really was thick this morning (it was about 5:00 am). He sighed and continued tempering his chocolate. He poured the chocolate mixture into a cup. Taking a sip he stared out at the window again. A petite figure of a girl walked through the mist. Is that… Kashino wondered, no… It couldn't be. As he thought the figure slipped, falling on the ground. Worried, and still wondering who exactly it was, Kashino grabbed his jacket in one hand, opened the door and raced out the meet the figure. Reaching it, a shocked Ichigo sat up and rubbed her head. "Ow… I should have known better than to go out in the mist…"
"Amano?" Kashino asked her.
"Huh? Who is it?" Ichigo asked hugging herself to keep warm.
"It's Kashino, baka, it's so cold out, and why didn't you bring a jacket?"
"I didn't think it was that cold…" Ichigo laughed nervously.
"So are you going to get up?"
Ichigo stood up shakily. "Achoo!" She sneezed.
"Ugh," Kashino said, "you're going to get sick, here." He took off his jacket and wrapped her in it.
"T-thank you Kashino." Ichigo replied clutching the jacket in her hands.
"Let's get you warmed up." He led her to the kitchen and started to temper more chocolate. She watched on from her seat, sniffling once in a while. Kashino placed a white mug of a steamy hot chocolate in front of Ichigo.
"Th-thank you" Ichigo told Kashino as she sipped the drink, her eyes widened and she smiled. "It's delicious."
Kashino sipped his own hot chocolate, "warms your body doesn't it?"
"Y-yeah" she replied shakily, "a-achoo!"
"Still cold?" Kashino asked her, his face clouded with worry.
"A bit" Ichigo replied pulling Kashino's jacket closer to her.
Kashino sighed and unzipped the sweater he had been wearing under his jacket and wrapped it around Ichigo as well, leaving him to only have his yellow T-shirt.
"Achoo! Kashino… Are you sure you're okay with this?"
He rubbed his bare arms, "its fine! J-just try to keep warm okay?"
"O-okay…" Ichigo said sipping her hot chocolate.
*Later that morning*
The blue mist cleared and the sun rose up. Ichigo opened her eyes, and turned onto her side. Hold on a second, this wasn't her bed. She got up and rubbed her eyes. She was still in the kitchen classroom, lying on someone's jacket, someone's sweater as her blanket. "Are you sure you're alright Ma-kun?" She heard Andou say outside the door.
"*Cough* I'm fine, got it?" K-kashino?
"Honestly Kashino" Hanabusa said, "why did you go out in the cold with only a T-shirt?"
"He makes a point Ma-kun." Andou interjected.
"*Cough* I didn't! But Amano…"
"So you're blaming this on Ichigo-chan?" Hanabusa asked smugly.
"No *cough* that's not I-I- achoo!"
"Ma-kun, seriously, I think you should stay in the nurse's office. She can take care of you. You're straining yourself"
"No way! *Cough* I'm not going to *cough*. Ugh…"
"Ma-kun! Shoot, he went unconscious… Hanabusa, go get Ichigo, I'll take Ma-kun to the nurse."
"Okay…" The door opened and Ichigo pretended to be asleep. "Ichigo-chan?"
Ichigo 'woke up' and looked at Hanabusa. "Hanabusa? What's going on?"
"Good morning Ichigo-chan, nothing's wrong, why do you ask?"
"I was just wondering…"
"So what do you want to do today? It is Saturday."
"Where are Kashino and Andou?"
"They went out." Hanabusa replied.
"Liar!" Ichigo yelled she was upset that the boys were lying to her. "Don't deny me my right to know what is going on!"
"I-Ichigo-chan…"
Too Long to Put into One Chapter, Maybe it'll be a two shot?
Me: This turned out longer than I thought. I think I need to make it a two or three shot :)
Kashino: Why do I feel like in all your stories, it's me who suffers? In Mune Kyun Tropical Island the fruit made me feel horrible, but Ichigo felt fine. Why is that?
Me: Because... I like torturing you :)
Kashino: Is that supposed to be a good thing?
Me: It depends, besides, it's because of me that you and Ichigo have kissed (more than once!) in Mune Kyun Tropical Island.
Kashino: Fine, I surrender, for now.
Me: Please Review!
