Ichigo sat next to the window of the cafe' as she pouted "it's so boring!" as she looked out the door she saw the little 10 year old alien playing with dirt. His name was tart. He was always hanging around her now, because his big brother Kisshu was never home, he was to busy working. Ichigo felt sorry for him, although she was 4 years older then him, She loved him like a little brother. although she found him annoying sometimes. Ichigo walked out of the cafe' to the little alien " what are you doing?" She asked

"i,m playing with dirt what does it look like?" he said as bratty as he could Although he thought of ichigo as a sister. He felt he loved her. more then a sister. more then friends, But he also felt that embarrasing. he didn't want to tell her. for 2 reasons, she was older then him and 2. He knew pudding liked him, To tell the truth he was pudding's boyfriend. he loved her. but now.. he was falling for an older girl, that was not pudding. he felt like he didn't love pudding anymore. "make yourself useful and get me some cake! i,m hungry!" Tart ordered ichigo

"ok ok" ichigo snorted and went back into the kitchen, But when she went around the corner she smirked. she loved the way he ordered her around like that. She made a chocolate cake and brought it out to tart, " wash up before you eat your food" she told him

"whatever" tart replied and he got up and went to the bathroom to clean up, He looked in the mirror and washed his hands. He knew one thing. he had fallen for ichigo. But he was to afraid to tell her

Pudding ran in the back door, as soon as she saw tart she glomped him "Hi taru-taru-na no da!" pudding said hapily

"Hi..." he said back, stairing into space He started to think * even if i love her... there's no way she would love me back... she loves kisshu... my big brother* Tart left the cafe' and took the chocolate cake, and started to eat it

"something wrong tart?" ichigo asked, She seemed concerned about him

"no nothing..." tart replied. He tried so hard not to tell her. he had convinced himself he loved his girlfriend pudding. but now he wasn't so sure he loved pudding anymore

*the next day*

Tart couldn't help it, He broke down crying in front of ichigo "it's not fair! it just isn't fair! just why does kisshu have to work all the time now?..." tears were streaming down tart's face

Ichigo was surprised to see him crying, she went over and gently pulled him into a hug "it'll be alright..." ichigo couldn't stand to see him cry " don't cry... every thing will be fine" she assured him

Tart looked up at ichigo with tears in his eyes, he wasn't sure what to think. but he knew one thing. he loved her. "i... it's so lonely being home alone all the time..." he replied

Ichigo gently wiped the tears out of his eyes. "i know... but he's doing this so he can support both himself and you.. it's hard to raise your younger sibling by yourself, and without parents..." before ichigo knew it he was stairing into her eyes like he wanted something, she felt a slight warmth in her heart toward the little boy. Could it be she developed feelings for him? before she knew it she leaned in and gently kissed him.

And for the longest moment tart enjoyed it, it confused him though. As she released the lock of her lips from his, they staired into each other's eyes for the longest minute ever, Tart wanted to feel that again so badly, he went in for another kiss, this time it lasted longer. at the same time pudding showed up and saw ichigo kissing her boyfriend "i-i-ichigo-onee-chan-na no da?" she couldn't believe her eyes

Ichigo stopped kissing him and spun around in surprise "p-pudding?" she didn't know what to say

Tart looked at pudding, he knew now. he didn't love pudding anymore. He loved ichigo. "p-pudding.." He was confused,

"why did you do tis to me-na no da? your going out with kisshu! and what's worse is you just cheated on him by kissing his brother-na no da! and tart is my boyfriend-na no da!"

"i,m sorry pudding... it's just he was upset!" ichigo began to think *is it possible i,m falling for tart? why did i just kiss him?* She was confused. She loved kisshu but yet she loved tart. It was so confusing

"Forgive me pudding... i,m so confused right now.." *tart lookeed up at the shy. He didn't know how to tell pudding he didn't love her anymore, he didn't want to hurt her though. but he just did by kissing his brother's girlfriend. But he knew she loved him because she had kissed him first, and the way she was comforting him when he was crying

"i know what i did was wrong..." he said. He thought, *i have to tell her...*He looked at pudding " But... i couldn't help myself...I... I,m sorry.. " he couldn't bring himself to say he loved ichigo, innstead all he could say was "it's... it's over.. i,m sorry, i,m so confused right now.. i need time to think" as tart said it pudding's eyes opened in fear of losing the boy she loved. Tart ran off crying,

Ichigo ran off in the opposite direction with tears in her eyes. She didn't know how she was going to face kisshu. She still loved him so much and yet she had not only kissed tart but she had fallen in love with him to. she was more then confused. She wondered how kisshu would take it..

Later on kisshu and pudding we're talking in the cafe', Pudding was talking to him about ichigo kissing tart. "Why would she do this-na no da" pudding asked

"maybe it's because she has to babysit him all day all week... i,m never home anymore.. maybe she's developed feelings for him..but that would mean she no longer loves me..." Kisshu pouted.

"speak of the devil-na no da" pudding said as ichigo walked into the cafe' Ichigo looked up at both of them

"listen pudding..." ichigo started but then pudding cut her off, and started scolding ichigo about kissing her boyfriend and cheating on kisshu.

" you don't have to do this pudding.." kisshu started " it's my fault really... i,m never home so she has to baby sit tart all the time.. i wouldn't blame her is she's fallen for him..."

"kisshu.." ichigo staired at the green haired alien "But i..."

"No... it's ok ichigo" Kisshu smiled "i knew this might happen one day..."

Tart stood hiding behind the door watching ichigo and his brother kisshu along with pudding "this is bad... i want kisshu to be happy.. he loves her.. but she loves me.." Tears started falling from his golden eyes. He turned and ran off, it made such a racket that ichigo turned and saw him run off

"Tart?" ichigo shouted "i,m sorry!" she said to kisshu and pudding as she chased after the little alien. She began to think how all this made kisshu feel. She loved both tart and kisshu. But she had to chose one of them. her heart hurt so much.

As tart was running up the street with tears in his eyes he started thinking about how this made ichigo feel. He loved her,She loved him back. But she still loved kisshu. He was to busy running that he ran into the street as a car was coming, he saw the car and frose in fear as it was roaring toward him. He was so sure the car would hit him

Just then a girl grabbed tart and jumped out of the way, Tart recognized her. It was ichigo. She saved him, "be more careful Tart..." ichigo said as she landed on the ground,

The driver opened the window to shout at ichigo "what the hell we're you doing?" he shouted

"you almost hit this boy!" ichigo spazzed "be more careful!"

Pudding was on the other side of the street, watching tart and ichigo sadly

"Tart? Can you walk?" ichigo asked

"i...i think so.." as tart tried to get up his ankle gave out in pain, he clutched it" ow!.. my ankle!" He started to cry again

"let me see..." ichigo took tart's ankle gently trying not to hurt him, but as soon as she touched a certain spot it started to hurt

"OW!" he practically screamed in pain, he was crying histerically now

Ichigo gently picked him up and walked back to the cafe where she could treat his ankle.

Back at the cafe' she examined tart's ankle carefully " Hm... you sprained it" she said, Tart was scared and she was holding his hand "don't worry... just stay off your ankle for awhile and it'll heal" she assured him

Pudding watched the two from far, her heart was breaking. not only had tart broken up with her. but he was in love with her best friend

She saw ichigo. she didn't like the way ichigo was stairing at him

Ichigo was stairing into tart's golden eyes. she could see alot of confusion, love, and regret in his eyes. she could also see his love for her. That made ichigo happy, she loved him. and he loved her.

As they staired into each others eyes ichigo slowely closed in.

Her face was so close to tart's. He blushed a maroon red, he looked into her eyes then at her lips. He wanted her to kiss him to badly

Ichigo moved in more and her lips touched his, Tart's lips were so soft. She never wanted it to end.
