Ichigo was running as fast as she could to where she said she'd meet Kisshu without taking a breather. She was already twenty minutes late, and she was seriously worried that Kisshu stopped waiting for her. 'Please let him still be there. I need to give an excuse for me being so late! Please!'
Once front of the train station, she stopped to catch her breath, her body hanging onto her knees, being bent over. When she looked up to spot Kisshu, she didn't see him in her sight.
'Oh no…..' Ichigo sadly thought. 'I kept him waiting for too long. He probably hates me by now.'
She was about to cry when she heard an all too familiar voice that brought relief to her. "Ichigo!" someone called from behind her.
She turned around and saw that ti was Kisshu. He ran up to her and held her in his arms, under the soon to be dark sky. "I'm so sorry I was late. I didn't mean to keep you waiting. I'd never do that to you."
She was shocked and happy at the same time. She was surprised to hear that he was just as late as she was, and also glad she didn't keep him waiting.
She looked up at him when she was let go. She shook her head. "No. You didn't keep me waiting at all. I got here a minute before you did."
"Really? That's a relief!" he said smiling. Then he raised a brow. "Wait, you eman if I had been here at our decided time, I would have been waiting around for you?"
She put her hands on her hips. "That'd go double for me, you know. Why were you late anyway?"
"Well, why were you/' he shot back.
She decided to let it drop. "Let's just not talk about it anymore. Neither of us had to wait, and we're both here, so let's go out already." She said pulling his hand.
He smiled. "You're right. As long as we're together, it doesn't really matter." He planted a kiss on her and they were off.

Wherever they went, Ichigo sure looked like she had a great time. She was laughing, smiling, looping her arm through Kisshu's, having the time of her life.
He walked her up to her door. He then smiled and said with a little sadness in his voice, "Good night love."
She smiled back. "Night." They both leaned in for a kiss. It took all of Kisshu's willpower to break it and part with her. He hated not being able to spend every second with her, or at least have more time with her. But he knew better than to smother his beloved Ichigo. She was feisty, and gets annoyed very easily, especially if he decided to go back to stalking her or start smothering her, not giving her her personal space.
In Ichigo's house, her dad was fuming looking out the window, ready with a golf club in his hand, but was held back by his loving wife.
Ichigo rolled her eyes and headed upstairs. She got into her room, changed inot her pjs, and hit the sack, ready for a rested sleep with a smile on her face.

"Sooooo?" Moe asking Ichigo wanting details on yesterday.
Ichiog rolled her eyes. "You're too nosy." They were at the mall on Saturday after school, shopping at their favorite store. Miwa was in the changing room trying on a few dresses, and Ichigo was checking herself out in the mirror, deciding whether or not to buy the outfit. It was a pink top with a red denim knee length skirt with a buckle at the waist.
Moe was right beside her. "I'm not going to leave you alone until you spill your guts about last night. Tell me if anything happened between you two. Come on!" she said getting impatient and curious.
"I'm telling you we just went out for a bite to eat and took a moonlight walk." She told her friend.
Moe didn't buy all of it. She folded her arms, eyes cut, and big grin. "I doubt that's all you're telling me. I bet anything you guys made out sometime last night."
Now Ichigo was seriously as red as a tomato. Not just her face, but I think she thinks her whole body is turning bright red.
She turned to her blonde friend who was trying really hard not to laugh. She loved Ichigo, but she just couldn't resist embarrassing her as she gets easily embarrassed, and it's just too funny for words.
"Oh, you tihkn this is funny." Ichigo went over to a table piled with folded sweaters and flung one at Miwa's face. She pulled it off her face, and her bangs were messed up. "Hey!"
A few minutes after, they were thrown out of the store after they started having a clothes battle. Even Moe joined in after she got out. She first started trying to stop them, but after a skirt was shot at her face, she couldn't help but retaliate.
After out of the store, they started laughing. 'Oh boy. There is NO way I could live without these two at my side.'

"Alright class, take out your science books and turn to page fifty-six where we will start talking about atoms." Ichigo's teacher said.
When class was over, Ichigo and Kisshu barely got through without falling asleep. Even though Ichigo is sixteen, and Kisshu is seventeen, the freshman and juniors class are joined together, so they're taught together.
When everyone was just about to get up from their desk, their teacher called their attention. "Class, before you all elave, I have something to announce. Please take your seats once more for today."
They all did as he instructed. Once all back in their seats, he started talking again. "It's just about time for the school festival to arrive."
Everyone started talking to one another, excited to hear this. "School festival. My favorite time of year." Kisshu said rolling his eyes.
Ichigo turned her head towards him. "You don't like it?"
He answered back, "It's not that exactly. It's just that everybody always ahs to make a big fuss over it. It drives me crazy when the hallways are more crowded than ever when you're trying to get through. All because they're all preparing for it. Not too mention it's way noisier than ever."
"So since it's just around the corner, two weeks to say at most, I would like volunteers to help set up." The teacher finished, a clipboard and pen out and ready. "Who would like to do booths?"
A few peoples' hands shot up. Then suddenly the door to the class opened. Standing there was a girl with long brown hair tied back in a ponytail with a yellow hair tie with a fake yellow flower attached to it, down past her back. She had dark green eyes, and was of course, wearing the school uniform. Her skin was a little aple, and she looked to be about a hundred and forty pounds. She was acceptingly skinny and pretty.
"I would like to do a booth please." She said to the teacher with a smile in a cool tone. She then saw Kisshu, and she smiled with a dreamy look in her eyes.
He penciled her down. "Alright, may I have your name?"
"It's Yasu Watanabe. I'm a transfer student from Hiroshima."
He nodded his head. "You may go pick a seat."
She started walking towards the desk that was right behind Kisshu's. He turned his head towards her. "Pleased to meet you. I hope we'll get to know each toher throughout the year." She gave a charming smile, and Ichigo didn't like how she was looking at him, Kisshu oblivious to what it was.
"Same here. And just to give you a heads up on you being new here, beware of the cafeteria's food. One bite, and you'll be wishing you never stepped foot in the school." He said with a big grin on his face.
She laughed. "I'll remember that." She put her hand on top of his. "Thank you for the warning. I'm guessing you just saved my stomach's life."
"I'm Ichigo Momomiya, his girlfriend." She said with a forced smile. "It's nice to meet you."
Yasu turned her ehad in Ichigo's direction. Her smiel was also forced. She was annoyed with being interrupted while she was flirting with Kisshu. "Thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you too. I hope we'll all become good friends."
"Hey! You three back there! Pay attention!" the teacher snapped at them.
He went back to his clipboard and put down a couple of names. "Ichigo Momomiya and Kisshu Ikisatashi, since you two seem to be having fun talking back there, I'm guesing ti's about the festival, you two will help the decorating committee with the school and the gate entrance."
"WHAT?" they both said simultaneously. "I wasn't even planning to sign up!" they protested.
The teacher gave them a look. "If you two hadn't been talking so loudly back there, I wouldn't have even noticed you. You are to be here for the next two weeks every day after school to help set up. You will also give up your study hall."
Yasu raised her ahnd. "Um, could I help them out too?"
The teacher raised a brow while Kisshu and ichigo turned in their seats to look at her surprised.
"Are you sure? You are already doing a booth you said." The teacher questioned.
Yasu nodded her head. "yes. I can get mine done by coming to the school early in the morning before classes start and work alter after school than some other people."
He shrugged his shoulders. "If you're really up to it, then it would be really appreciated." He looked at Ichigo and Kisshu. "It looks like you two will have some extra help. You should be grateful."
Ichigo grumbled while Kisshu shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get ti done faster, I'm fine with it I guess."
'Yeah, she'll be working on something OR someone. But ti won't be the decorations.' Ichigo sourly thought, jealous.
