Ichigo: Mikashi doesn't own Yumeiro Patissiere!

My Loss is Your Gain

Kashino sighed, "So... Why are we here again?"

Ichigo turned around and smiled, "It's going to be lots of fun Kashino!"

Kashino stared at all the brightly coloured booths and the gigantic toys, "Carnivals are always fun!" He replied sarcastically.

"Oh come on Kashino!" Ichigo pouted, "Carnival games are a lot of fun!"

"More like a lot of money," he grumbled, staring at the prices of a simple ring toss game.

"PLEASE can we stay?" Ichigo made her cute puppy-dog eyes Kashino could never seem to refuse.

He sighed, cursing himself for this, "We'll stay for a while."

Ichigo's eyes curled upward in delight, "Yes!" She grabbed Kashino by the wrist and dragged him along.

XxXxX

"OH MY GOSH!" Ichigo exclaimed, "KASHINO!"

He looked at her, "What?"

"I want that!" She squealed, pointing to a game booth.

Kashino stared at what Ichigo was pointing at, "You want a... You want a strawberry stuffed toy?" He moaned. Of course Ichigo would pick a food related prize.

Ichigo blinked sweetly, "Please?"

Feeling like smacking himself, Kashino went up to the guy at the booth. Blushing he asked the guy, "Uh... How do I get that... Strawberry stuffed toy?"

The guy smiled, "You only need to win once! Only five dollar," He looked over at Ichigo and quietly whispered in his ear, "Your girlfriend wants it huh?"

Kashino flushed red, handing him a dollar, "She's not my..."

Ichigo gripped Kashino into a tight hug just then, "Thanks a lot Kashino!"

The guy at the booth raised his eyebrows. Kashino was so red even the tips of his ears were a flaming red. He got Ichigo off of him, "Okay, so all I need to do is what?"

The guys handed Kashino a ping pong ball. "See all the grooves in the table?" He asked him.

"Yeah," Kashino nodded, "but there's only one with an orange dot in the middle."

The guy winked, "All you've got to do is throw the ping pong ball so it lands in the groove with the orange dot."

Kashino eyed the guy, a look of annoyance on his face, "You realize it's the farthest away from me, right?"

The guy smirked, "Yup! Now go!"

Ichigo smiled happily, unable to notice Kashino's annoyance, "Come on Kashino! You can do it!"

Kashino sighed and lightly tossed the ping pong ball, it bounced a bit before settling on a groove in front of the orange groove. "Oh! Too bad!" The guy exclaimed, "better luck next time!"

Ichigo frowned, "Aw!"

Kashino rolled his eyes at the guy, "Yeah yeah whatever..." He grabbed Ichigo's hand, "COME ON. Let's go."

She wiggled out of his grasp, "C-could you try one more time, PLEASE?"

He stared at Ichigo with her big brown eyes then stared back at the guy at the booth showing Kashino an amused smirk, "Don't want to disappoint your girlfriend huh?" He mouthed.

Kashino sighed and looked back at Ichigo, "Only once more alright?"

She flung her arms in the air, "YAY!"

XxXxX

"OH! Too bad!" The guy exclaimed again. Kashino stared frustrated at the table, why did Ichigo have to pick a prize from this game? He thought.

Ichigo looked back and forth between the table and her blond-headed friend, "Kashino?" She smiled innocently.

"No." He answered shortly, "I am not going again!"

"PLEASE?" She whined, "last time I swear!"

"I told you, this was the last time, I'm already out 10 dollars!"

Her eyes filled with fake tears, though obviously Kashino didn't know, "P-please?" She pouted.

Kashino froze when he saw the tears, "FINE! Only one more time, I mean it this time okay?"

Ichigo smiled satisfied, "Come on! GO!" She cheered.

Sighing, Kashino bitterly paid the guy once again.

XxXxX

The guy looked at Kashino, a huge smirk on his face, "Oh. Too. Bad!" He exclaimed, annunciating every word. Kashino's caramel eyes turned to slits.

"COME ON AMANO," he hissed, "Let's go!" Don't look at her face, don't look at her face...

Ichigo tilted his chin down anyway. "One more time, then I promise, no more."

Kashino felt like smacking his forehead, without even saying anything he pretty much shoved the five dollar bill in the money-maker's hand.

XxXxX

Kashino gently fingered the ping pong ball; with the flick of his wrist he sent the ping pong ball across the table, even though he felt there was no point. The guy at the booth didn't say anything, which caused Kashino to actually look up. The employee had a frown on his face, "Congratulations." He said, barely any emotion in his voice, "You win. What prize do you want?"

It was now Kashino's turn to smirk. He looked the guy right in the eyes, "I want that strawberry stuffed toy."

Bitterly, the owner of the booth took it down from the wall and handed it to Kashino, "HERE. Good bye!"

Walking away, Kashino and Ichigo took seats on a bench. He handed Ichigo the stuffed toy, "There, are you happy now?"

Ichigo hugged the strawberry to her chest. She then held it up and stared at its anime-like face. "I love it!" She smiled.

"You'd better," Kashino warned.

She laughed nervously, "Don't worry I love it." Her stomach growled, "I'm hungry." She said, her eyebrows furrowing.

"What can I do?" Kashino asked, "You already got me to spend 20 dollars."

Ichigo slunk down in her seat, "Don't you have any more money Kashino?"

"No." He replied, "Why don't you have any?"

"I don't have money," She pouted stubbornly. Kashino's stomach growled as well. Ichigo smiled, "are you sure you don't have any money left?"

"I hate you." Kashino sighed.

XxXxX

Ichigo happily ate her ice cream, "Thanks again Kashino!"

He sighed, licking his own ice cream, "Oh shut up."

Her expression saddened, "Don't be mad at me!"

Running his free hand through his hair he looked at her, "I'm not, it's just... I've pretty much spent all my money on you."

She giggled, "Your loss is my gain today isn't it?"

He glared at her, "It's not funny."

Ichigo threw the ice cream wrapper in the trash can and hugged the strawberry toy, "I'm sorry..." She blinked and hugged him, "Does that fix everything?"

He shook his head, "No."

She frowned, "What will?"

He tilted her chin up and brushed his finger gently down her cheek. Shivering in excitement she smiled softly. "This will," he whispered, pressing his lips onto hers.

They pulled apart, Ichigo's eyes were wide. "Kashino..."

"Amano," he smirked, "It's alright, at least I gained something today."

She blushed, raising her strawberry toy to her face to hide her blush, "It was my gain too."

Ruffling her hair playfully. Kashino smiled, "I love you."

Her eyes widened, curling in delight, "I love you too."

He took the strawberry toy and held it beside her face, "My two cute Ichigo's."

"My Makoto." She smiled sweetly.

Me: I hope you liked it!

Kashino: ... I'm such a weakling!

Me: O.O how so?

Kashino: I DO NOT give in to Ichigo's wishes all the time.

Me: Sure... :P PLEASE REVIEW!
