Yukiko: Yay! An update! I'm glad I finally got this finished. To tell you the truth guys I had a writer's block for this chapter… I was scared out of my mind!

Let's see how it goes because I'm going to wing it! Enjoy!

Toshiro's POV

After a full day at the theme park Six Flags, I have to say I was pretty tired. When we got home, Momo and Rangiku immediately went to their rooms to sleep. Ichigo disappeared into the bathroom close to the front door, so I decided that I'd make something to eat before heading off to bed. I made my way to the kitchen on silent feet and rummaged into the fridge to make something. Sighing with a huff, I pulled out a cold ham sandwich that Momo made for us the other day. Removing the plastic wrapping, I took a bite down on the sandwich and chewed on it slowly. Today was an eventful day except during the time those girls flirted with my Ichigo. If there were no one around us, I would have done something to make them regret even laying eyes on him.

I finished the sandwich and placed the plate in the sink. I felt a feeling in my throat. I covered my mouth in shock. I knew that it was probably a big burp. I could feel my face flushing deeply and closed my eyes in embarrassment.

When I opened them, I jumped when Ichigo was right in front of me and he was smiling at me.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around him.

He looked at me. "So when is this make-out session going to begin, because by the look on your face it seems you want it now," he said with a smirk.

I blushed and looked down, but I gasped when I felt Ichigo whisper something into my ear.

"I love you, my Yuki Hime."

Ichigo kissed my ears and along my jaw until he reached my lips. I smiled into the kiss and hugged him closer. Ichigo ran his tongue along my bottom lip and I eagerly opened my mouth and waited the deepening of our kiss. He picked me up like I was as light as a feather and placed me on top of the kitchen countertop.

I shivered when I felt Ichigo's warm hands on my knees. He spread them apart and inserted himself in between them. He then pulled me closer to the edge of the counter. This actually made me taller than him and I had to tilt his head upwards in order to continue our kiss.

I pulled from his lips to take a breath. Our hot breaths intermingled and I connected our lips again. Ichigo's hands moved back to my legs. His hands were actually hot now as they started to ascend towards my upper thigh.

I shivered when his fingers ran over my stomach. I haven't felt like this in such a long time. Ichigo grazed his hand in my hair while his other hand started to venture inwards towards my inner thigh and closer to the stiff erection I now sported.

His hand was so close but he wouldn't touch it. But the closer it got the more I would pant and scoot towards him for more contact. When he finally took hold of it through my boxers, I arched my back and gasped at the pleasure I felt.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" We turned our heads quickly to see Momo standing at the door with her face bright red.

"I'll be going now! Good night! I'M SORRY!" she screamed before sprinting back into her room. I heard Ichigo sigh and I let out a loud huff in annoyance,

'Well, she knows how to kill a mood.'

Ichigo let out a laugh before kissing my lips, "Let's go to bed now. It's getting late and Yuki Hime needs his beauty sleep."

My fist collided with his jaw before I left him on the kitchen floor in pain.


Normal POV

The following morning, the group went back to their usual routine; Momo cooking breakfast, Rangiku in the bathroom taking her morning shower, Toshiro playing quietly on the piano and Ichigo nearby reading a book. When Ichigo and Toshiro greeted Momo earlier that morning all she did was blush madly and started her strings of apologizes thus resulting to Rangiku's curiosity. Yet the subject was dropped when Toshiro let a glare at Rangiku.

Sighing to himself, Toshiro played some random notes that filled the room with comfort yet the tune was very lonely. Ichigo glanced at his boyfriend through the corner of his eye before returning back to his reading. Momo then called them over for breakfast. Everyone filed into the room where they normally eat breakfast and ate their food while having a quiet conversation. After they finished, Momo realized that she made too much food and put all the extra food into a topple-wear.

Ichigo told everyone that he was going to go out to the beach for a walk and then left. Momo went up to Toshiro and handed him the topple-wear,

"Here, give this to Stephanie. We already have way too much food in the refrigerator and I want to make sure that she gets enough to eat."

Nodding in understanding, Toshiro took the food to the front door, put on his shoes and headed down the street to the seventeen year old girl's apartment. When he got there, he looked up to her window to see if there was light inside. He then saw Stephanie sitting on a chair with a guitar in her arms, it seemed as if she was playing the instrument for a while. Toshiro walked towards the door and rang the doorbell. The music stopped and after a few moments of waiting the door opened up to reveal Stephanie. She was wearing a simple summer floral dress of red and pink. Toshiro's eyes widen at the girl's skin color; it was sickly white, plus there were black circles around her eyes.

"Oh Toshiro. What are you doing here?" asked Stephanie.

Her condition is getting worse…

He pulled out his phone and typed in what he wanted to say, Momo wanted you to have this. She made extra so she wanted to give it to you. Are you alright Stephanie?

Stephanie read the phone and smile softly, "Yes, I'm fine. Tell Momo thank you. She didn't really have to go to so much trouble."

The older male just waved his hand dismissively and then took a good look at her face; he noticed tear tracks running down her cheeks.

Are you sure you're alright?

"Yes Toshiro. Well I have to be leaving soon. I have a check-up at the hospital later this afternoon so I'll talk to you later okay?"

Want Ichigo and I to accompany you to the hospital?

Again, she shook her head, "No, it's fine. You both have already done enough. Besides I've done this before." She nodded her head before stepping back into her home, "I'll see you soon Toshiro. Tell everyone hello for me."

With that she gently closed the door and Toshiro made his way back to his house.


When Toshiro reached his house, he immediately heard yelling from inside the building. He went through the front door and into the living room to see Ichigo glaring at the T.V and yelling at it. On the screen were the faces of Miku, Shiori and Damon. Smiling, Toshiro walked up to Ichigo and waved at his other friends.

"Toshiro! We missed you! How are you?" asked Shiori.

He just gave her a thumbs up before looking at Miku and Ichigo, "You idiot you should be grateful!"

Ichigo shot back, "I am grateful, I'm just not grateful that you're yelling at me! What did I do in the first place?"

Miku smacked her hand on her forehead, "Your dumbass left your violin here. We had to ship it to you! Oh and you owe us money!"

"How the hell do I owe you money?"

Damon took over Miku's spot in the camera, "We freaking had to pay to send it over there!"

Ichigo's eye twitched, "It's not like I asked you to send it here!"

Shiori sighed, "But by the look on Toshiro's face, he wanted to have the violin there."

Ichigo turned and looked at his boyfriend with wide eyes, "You wanted the violin to be here?"

Toshiro fidgeted on the spot, 'Well, I haven't heard you play since we got here and I really do miss hearing you play… it's kinda lonely with me just playing the piano. It's like I have a missing piece in my heart and…"

He was cut off when Ichigo embraced him, "You could have told me that sooner…"

Ichigo let Toshiro go and walked over to the coffee table and opened a brown box to reveal his violin case. Opening it, Ichigo pulled out his instrument and caressed the bow on the strings giving it a simple tune, just checking if it needed a tuning. Smiling in satisfaction, Ichigo turned to his friends and Toshiro, "Let's play something, anything."

Toshiro went over to the piano and sat on the bench, waiting for the others to decide on a piece. Rangiku bounded into the room with a smile on her face,

"I know a good song that you guys should play! I heard it before at the mall and thought it was really nice!"

The orange haired man rolled his eyes, "Is it a song about sex again?"

Damon choked on his saliva while Shiori and Miku laughed.

The busty woman pouted, "Ichigo! I would never listen to a song like that! Anyways, here's the song's sheets. You guys type it up too on your computer!"

She opened up a new window on the computer and type in the search engine, Morning Glow

The others found the exact same website and researched a little to find the right sheet according to their instruments. After a few markings and tries, they finally got the melody and piece down to memory. Momo walked into the room not too long ago and sat next to Rangiku on the couch.

Toshiro looked at the others and nodded before started the piece. Damon was the one that started the entire song. The melody was slightly upbeat, yet it had that sense of calming presence that lifted the soul. He continued playing the same rhythm over and over again before Toshiro jumped into the piece with his own rhythm and that made the piano and guitar play as one. They went on for a little while before Ichigo caressed the violin's bow along the strings making a loud introduction of the main theme itself. Miku followed Ichigo's tone with her cello, but her instrument made a lower tone than Ichigo's thus highlighting the depth in the music. Shiori created the main beat to the entire group and kept everyone at an even pace. Rangiku and Momo closed their eyes and listened to the song with lifted hearts and open souls.

Truly their music is absolutely breathtaking.
