He held her close as they walked through the busy streets, it was the only way she would calm down. A small smile made its way to his lips as he glanced down to ichigo-chan who was walking my his side, holding his hand. She slowly tilted her head up with an excited expression and sniffing the air slightly. "ohhhh my dayyyss, do you smell that Satsuki-kun?? That smell could only mean it's Bavarian cream!!!" ichigo quickly headed in the direction of the scent. Satsuki quickly falling behind the cakey pig!! He laughed at the memory, when all of them were together as team ichigo. An air of nostalgia drifted through his mind and soon ichigo's as she remembered the way they used to be... Time sure waits for no one. They continued walking down the valley of memories.
At the same time Andou and kana-chan were in the yumeazuki restaurant helping out as Andou remembered ichigo-chan meeting ichida. It was truely the peak of their friendship. Andou was stood still in the midst of the crowd, kana chan worriedly approached him, "andou-kun, are you OK? You zoned out for a bit?" Andou shook his head as leaned toward kana and spoke in her ear "I was just thinking about you" hearing that kanas heart sent all her blood to her face, making her blush like a cherry. Andou laughed at her reaction and grabbed her hand and lead her off to the main house part for some quality time.

"omg, makoto-kun, why are you being like this? You were perfectly happy a couple of days ago, its coz you miss your friend right? I am the reason you had to move away, right?" maddy looked away ashamed. Maddison is beautiful girl, with black, long, straight hair that made he bright green eyes simmer in the light or dark. She was talk and curvy. Her body being elegantly feminine yet holding authority. She was a softie but no pushover. She had felt badly when makoto and her parents had a made a deal behind makoto's back, intending to blackmail him. At first he had despised her from the bottom of his heart but was amazed just at the fact that she was just as much as a spitfire he was. Amazed was not the right word but rather startled, the first few days she had been cold and stontic barely speaking to him and let alone yelling and swearing. In the first week he had acted out on her yelling at her for walking in to him when she had apologised. She was furious and swore at him and walked of. To this day he refuses to tell anyone what she had called him since he was so embarrassed about it. Now he stared at her, enticed by her green eyes and womanly curves , "its not your fault maddy, I had seen my ex girlfriend and she was having a hard time because of me and evn though our relationship was soo long ago I feel for her. I am not in love but more like I pity her. I shouldn't have left the way I did" kashino said and looked down at her feet, his fists clenching and relaxing and clenching and relaxing. "makoto you don't have to worry, I saw them too, she is happy with your friend, now you have to care about yourself, me and us" she said and she slowly walked towards him dn pulled him into a hug, closing her arms around his waist and breathing in his soft scent. He couldn't but let out a gasp and a soft sob, it hurt him to see his friends so broken because of his selfish ways but she was right, it's about him and her. That was it.
