14AmyChan: I don't own anything~! *^_^*

Ichigo: BOO!

14AmyChan: what's going on? Did Halloween come early?

Ichigo: No, I just wanted to say it.

14AmyChan: I'm so proud… *T.T*

Ichigo: Please read the story! :)

The library was enormous! It must have had enough books to read for eternity, it made the one at school seem like a playground! The room itself was big enough to hold a ball in, and it was filled to the brim with books! But, from what Ichigo could see, they were all alphabetized and in order. The Beast did all this…? Ichigo asked herself in amazement. Quite a feat for only two hours…

"Do you like it?" the Beast asked, tenderness in his voice. "I love it!" 'Belle' said circling around to see the room from every aspect. Kashino saw that look on Ichigo's face whenever they went to a shopping villa of sweets. He smiled. It would take a lot of work to catch up to her, but it was always worth it to see that smile on her face…

"Then it's yours" the Beast said, beaming as 'Belle' turned around to face him. She was smiling as well. Ichigo looked over to see a faint smile on Kashino as well, but just as fast as it came, it went. Ichigo searched his eyes from the side and saw a glimmer of reminiscence. She would see that look times fifty when her dad talked about her mom. Maybe he likes someone! Ichigo thought. That would be rich, but… for some reason it made her feel sad. To know that Kashino loved someone made her feel like she was missing out on something. Well, after this is all over I'll ask him to introduce me to her…she resolved.

'Belle' and the Beast settled in for some reading and Kashino just yawned. He knew that this bit was just to get the reader cozy with the idea that 'Belle' and the Beast could be a couple. "Is this part not important?" Ichigo asked. Kashino just shrugged. "Some sort of 'characteer development' thing. I don't really care" he said, watching as 'Belle' and the Beast were getting cozy.

"Then let's make some barmuchuhen, then!" Ichigo said, her eyes alight. "Huh?" Kashino just stared. Ichigo rolled her eyes. Maybe this would be a little harder than she thought. "Barmuchuhen" she said, deciding to dive right in. "You have someone you like back home, right?"

"Wh-what do you mean?" Kashino didn't mean to stutter, it's just… This girl is so dense. Now she knows like he likes someone. But that means that she didn't know it was her. Maybe this can work… "What's it to you?"

I knew it! Ichigo thought. He likes someone, but who is it? The Heiress? Definatley out… "Then let's make some barmuchuhen!" Ichigo said. "It's perfect for saying 'I like you!'" Ichigo smiled at her wit. Maybe with sweets, Kashino would have the courage to confess to…whoever it was. "Let's go to the kitchen!" she said as she dragged Kashino to the kitchen.

14AmyChan: It's short, but I hope you liked it~! *^_^*

Kashino: It's really short…

14AmyChan: It's to set the stage for the next chapter! *^_^*

Ichigo: Well, who is it?

Kashino: What do you mean?

Ichigo: Who do you like?

Kashino: th-THAT'S NONE OF YOU BUSINESS!

14AmyChan: he's blushing! *^_^*

Kashino: SHUT UP!

14AmyChan: please R&R~! *^_^*
