Kashino: Amano! Amano! Where are you?
Ichigo: *hiccup*
Kashino: There you are! I've been looking for you everywhere!
Ichigo: R-really?
Kashino: Duh! I wanted to make sure you were okay...
Ichigo: Thanks for finding me, we're going to miss chapter 8 of Mune Kyun Tropical Island though...
Kashino: *lips twitch* I stole it from Mikashi.
Ichigo: You what?
Kashino: I stole the editted version after she typed it up on her computer *waves a peice of paper*
Ichigo: Let me see!
Kashino: Okay here goes... *Begins reading*
Me: *hiding in bushes* They did not steal my work did they? -.- I don't own Yumeiro Patissiere!
Kashino rubbed his eyes, and continued with the picture. Each stroke of the pencil getting more and more passionate. Soon Kashino found he was drawing more than just her, he drew her sitting on a park bench and reaching her hand toward the other side. He drew another person's hand touching hers, and soon that hand was made into another person. Kashino. He finished the picture and stared at it. His feelings were in there, but could he really give it to her? Draw me and nothing more. Did this picture count as 'more'? He flipped to the next page and drew a picture of Ichigo alone, sitting on the log by the fire her hair waving in the breeze. He signed his name at the bottom and tore it out. Now this, he could give to her. He got up and stretched, he walked carefully making sure he wouldn't trip. Where would Ichigo be…? Probably sitting on a log, oblivious to Hanabusa's constant flirting. Hiccup! Kashino looked around, did he just here a hiccup? Hiccup! Okay. Now this was confusing. He walked toward the source of the hiccups. To his dismay it was Ichigo, leaning against a tree blood running down her leg. "Ichigo!" He ran to her and dropped onto his knees, "What happened?"
She hiccupped again, "K-Kashino!" She leaned forward and cried into his shoulder. He blushed.
"Are you okay?"
She sniffed, "I-it hurts." She pointed at her knee which was scrapped raw and bleeding.
Kashino sighed, "What did you do?"
"I tripped on a tree root." Kashino told her to lean against the tree while he examined it. She obeyed and said nothing as he lifted her leg.
"It's bleeding badly, we need to clean it." He took a water bottle and tissue from his backpack (Author: Since when was Kashino wearing a backpack? O.O) and wet the tissue. Carefully he rubbed it on Ichigo's leg, washing all the blood away. He opened his backpack again and took out a band-aid, peeled it and placed it on Ichigo's knee. "It should be okay…" He stated as he got up. Ichigo stood up as well but wobbled and leaned on Kashino.
"Kashino…" Ichigo said, "About earlier today…"
"No… It's okay."
"No it isn't. I came into the forest to find you."
Kashino's eyes widened, "What were you going to say?"
"I… Was wrong."
"About what?"
"I love you. I was just afraid…"
"Afraid of what?"
"One day you wouldn't be here with me."
Kashino wrapped Ichigo into a tight hug. "I'll always be here with you."
Ichigo buried her face into his shoulder, "Same with me, I love you Kashino."
"I love you Ama… Ichigo."
Her eyes welled up in tears, "M-Makoto." She whispered. Kashino stared intently at her; the moment was the most magical moment of their lives. They leaned into each other and their lips touched. Sparks flew as they kissed each other. They finally pulled apart. "How do we tell Andou and Hanabusa?" Ichigo asked smiling blissfully.
"Why tell them, when we could show them?" Kashino smirked.
"I like your thinking." Ichigo replied with a gleam in her eyes. She took his hand into hers. "Let's go."
Ichigo: Kyaa! Mikashi is good at writing romance :)
Kashino: *Not looking at Ichigo* She made us...
Ichigo: Kiss?
Kashino: Y-yeah...
Ichigo: I don't mind...
Kashino: I-I don't either...
Ichigo: Y-you called me by my first name...
Kashino: Well you did too!
Ichigo: ...
Kashino: I-Ichigo?
Ichigo: M-Makoto?
*bring lips close together*
Me: Hold it!
Ichigo, Kashino: Mikashi!
Me: Save it for chapter 9! o3o
Ichigo, Kashino: D-devil...
Me: Please review!
