Starri: This story is gonna be about Kish and Tart's relationship!!!

Tart: What relationship?

Starri: You guys are best friends remember?

Tart: Oh…..right….I knew that

Starri: Good……now time for da story!!!!

"Tart…..what the heck are you doing?" Kish was standing over his friend with his eyebrows raised. Tart was poking a slug he'd found with a stick. Then he looked up at Kish, and poked him with the stick. "WHAT THE HECK!!!!! TART'S GONE MENTAL PAAAAAIII!!!!!!!!!!" Pai looked in the room Tart and Kish were in, then turned and left. "PPPPAAAAAAAAAAIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WERE ARE YOU GOING??? I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!" Tart cocked his head to the side then ran after Pai. A few moments later, Pai could be heard yelling at Tart for exposing him to a pointy object. Kish sighed and walked into the room where Pai was yelling at Tart.

"But Paaaaaaiiii……I'm really bored, I found a stick, and I'm living in a ship with two idiots- I mean…..one idiot and one genius and I think they desperately need to be poked with sticks….." Pai was getting really mad now. Tart was starting to act too much like Kish….WAY too much like Kish. Pai sighed, Tart saw his chance. "And besides……I don't act too much like Kish…….Kish acts too much like me!!!"

"Wait a minute here……I don't act anything like you……." Kish scowled as Tart pointed this out. Tart stuck his tongue out at Kish and continued.

"AND, Kish isn't faithful to his mission either…..He'd rather go get in bed with a certain cat-girl we all know and HATE….."

"Taruto….that's a little out of line…" Pai was determined to stop this fight before it happened. Unfortunately, he was too late.

"Shut up Tart……..just shut up NOW."

"Why? What're you gonna do if I don't stop?"

"Taruto….that's enough"

"Are you gonna go running to your precious Ichigo?"

"Shut up Tart…."

"Or are you just going to hurt me? Hmm?"

"He is going to hurt you if you don't stop….."

"Listen to Pai Tart….hurting you is the last thing I want to do……..but it's still on the list."

"Yeah…..but hurting dear, sweet Ichigo isn't on the list is it? Because you'd never hurt her….as soon as she walked into your life….." Tart was silent. Kish raised an eyebrow.

"Go ahead Tart" Kish cracked his knuckles. "What were you going to say?" Tart blushed profusely then stormed out of the room. Or at least…..he tried to. Pai stopped him.

"Go ahead Taruto….." There was silence for a few moments, then Tart spoke.

"As soon as she walked into your life……you….you…." Tart didn't say a thing.

" I WHAT?" Kish was steaming now….not only had Tart insulted Ichigo, but now he was about to insult him and wouldn't say it….this was getting annoying. "WHAT DID I DO WHEN SHE WALKED INTO MY LIFE?" Tart shook his head 'no'. He didn't want to say anything. Kish would completely deny it, Pai would know nothing about it, and he would be cast off as a little kid who didn't know what he was talking about. He walked out of the room. Kish was still steaming and went after him, and Pai sighed.

"Poor Taruto…….I never knew he felt that way….he must feel so left out……I should be nicer to him. Hmm…I should…..doesn't mean I will.

--------------------

"TART!!! GET OVER HERE THIS INSTANT!!!!!"

"No…."

"Tart……PLEASE……just talk to me!!!!!!" Tart turned on his heel so he was looking Kish in the eye.

"Ever since that IDIOT came into your life…"

"TARUTO………"

"JUST LISTEN KISH!!!!" Tart sighed, then continued. "Ever since that IDIOT came into your life, you've…….."Tart was once again silent.

"Spit it out Taruto…." Tart was staring down at the floor, and Kish could've sworn he'd seen a few tears fall to the floor. When Tart looked up, Kish realized he'd been right. Tart had tears streaming down his cheeks. When he finally spoke, Tart's voice was a horse whisper.

"Ever since SHE came into your life……you've forgotten about ME….." with that, Tart stormed into his room, slamming the door behind him.
