Chapter 4: Fallin' in Love With Ryou

"…I think I'm in love with that jerk. I can't believe it." Ichigo muttered, walking around aimlessly. She ignored the customers as they asked her to listen.

"I…I used to yell at him and all of this time he loved me…" She realized, walking into the kitchen. She crashed into something head first and fell onto the ground.

"Oww…" she winced, her eyes tearing up.

"Are you okay? Why weren't you paying attention to where you were going baka?" She opened her eyes and gaped. She had crashed into Ryou. And into the cake he was now wearing.

"I'm sorry!" She cried, jumping up. "Let me help you clean up…you're covered in cake." She winced; realizing cake was coating his shirt, pants, face and hair.

"I'm fine. Don't bother." He said, constraining his anger.

"No! I'm gonna help." Ichigo said, taking a nearby cloth and wiping the cake off his clothes. By the time she was done, her hand was covered in it as well.

"There. All better." She beamed, looking at his cake-free clothes. "And I got your face, you can wash your hair…Shoot! I got it all over my hand…" She said, looking at her pink and blue hand.

"Your hand?" Ryou asked, looking at her.

"Yeah…Look." She said holding out her hand.

He reached out and grabbed her wrist. He brought it close to his face. "Ryou, what are you…!" She gasped, realizing what he was doing.

'He is licking the frosting off my hand. He is licking my HAND!' She yelled internally, her face bright red.

Ryou dropped her hand and simply walked away. Ichigo stared blankly at her hand, a shiver running through her spine.

"Ryou!" She managed to gasp, stopping him in his tracks. He turned to her, a blank expression on his face.

"Yeah? What is it?" He said, staring at her blankly. She could feel her face flush.

"…Thanks…for getting …the frosting…off. " she stammered, shifting under his gaze.

He walked over to her. Her eyes widened as he kissed her, a small kis that tasted of frosting.

"Anytime Strawberry.Anytime."

NOTE: So, what do you think? Yes, I am dying at the shortness too…(Sniffs) I couldn't add more. It would ruin it! Review please. Sorry if there's any OOC-ness. Ryou had to do that though. Rember, this isn't over yet. Next chapter preview: "Ryou…I love you." Lettuce stammered, her face bright red. "I'm sorry Lettuce, I just can't…" Read it to find out! Ahh, so complicated. Who is it she confesses to? It isn't Ryou, sorry folks. That's too easy!
