V.E.: First YP story. I hope people like it
BE NICE! I don't want any flames!
"Amano! Stop adding the sugar! It's too much!"
Ichigo looked down and saw Kashino was right, as usual. She immediately stopped and sighed.
"Sorry Kashino."
"ICHIGO-CHAN! ICHIGO-CHAN!"
Rumi ran into the room with a gusto then stopped taking a deep breather.
Ichigo went over to Rumi with a concerned look on her face.
"What's wrong Rumi-san?"
"You've just got to see this!"
Rumi grabbed her by the wrist and hurried out of the room leaving Kashino, Hanabusa, and Andoh alone.
Andoh glanced at the dust the two girls had left.
"I wonder what's going on."
Hanabusa nodded.
"I don't think I've ever seem someone as nervous as Kashino did during the final exam last year."
Kashino glared at the Candy Art Sweet Prince.
"I was not that nervous!
Hanabusa smirked.
"You yelled at anyone for no apparent reason and kept fidgeting to no end. You call that not nervous?"
"Oi!"
Rumi and Ichigo Stopped outside panting for a moment then Ichigo saw exactly what the big commotion was about.
An expensive black limousine had pulled up at the school's gate. The diver was wearing a uniform similar to what Ichigo had seen Kashino's older sister's bodyguard and had gotten out to open the door for someone.
The door was open for a couple of seconds before the passenger stepped out.
The passenger was an old woman that looked around Ichigo's grandma's age if she was still alive. Her dark gray hair was pinned up into a bun and her dark brown eyes surveyed the academy in front of her. She had light blue dress on with a white sweater over top. A golden oval locket was over the sweater as well.
She walked through the gate and past the crowd of students that had gathered around her. She had managed to get up to Rumi and Ichigo before turning to them.
"Excuse me, do any of you know where Group A, 2nd Year is?"
Ichigo trembled a little before replying.
"Um, I'm in A Group, 2nd Year."
The old lady glanced at Ichigo for a moment then stared. Ichigo felt a little nervous with the way she was looking at her.
Finally, the woman shook her head and smiled slightly.
"I'm sorry for staring. You're such a pretty girl. So you're in Group A?"
Ichigo relaxed a bit and smiled.
"Yes ma am."
"Could lead me to where they are? I've heard they make some of the best sweets from some of the judges of the Cake Grand Prix."
Ichigo smiled even wider.
"Of course. This way."
She took the old lady by the hand as they walked to where Ichigo was practicing before.
The old lady smiled at the surroundings.
"This academy is really lovely. Almost as lovely as the Paris main campus."
Ichigo looked at the woman in surprise.
"You've seen the St. Marie in Paris?"
The old woman nodded, some sadness in her eyes.
"Yes. A long time ago."
They walked through the door and into the kitchens.
Hanabusa glanced at Ichigo.
"Everything all right Ichigo-chan?"
Ichigo pointed at the old woman.
"This lady wanted to try some of our sweets."
Kashino's eyes were wide and he was backing away slowly.
Andoh nodded.
"That sounds like some good practice."
Ichigo noticed Kashino, who was still backing away.
"Is everything alright Kashino?"
Kashino looked as pale as a ghost.
"Grandma...what...why...how?"
Three.
Two.
One.
"GRANDMA!"
This was shouted in unison by the rest of the A Group.
The old lady smirked like a devil, just like Kashino at sometimes.
"Your sister told me all about the Opera you made. Even Rei liked, although she thought it was from another patisserie and you should know how picky your mother is."
Kashino looked shocked at the news.
"My mother...ate it and liked it?"
The old woman nodded, still smirking.
"Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to eat it. So I came to see if your training at St. Marie has been worth it. If you win, I will give you something. However, if you lose..."
The sadistic look on her face was just as maniacal as Kashino's.
"I will have your parents take you out of this academy. Understood?"
Kashino looked about ready pass out.
"Yes...Grandma."
