Hi everyone I am now updating on a regular basis so no stress?
All chapters in Amour's POV, ne?
"Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." - Mark Twain
XOXOXOXOXO
I rubbed my eyes awake as sun was already up in the sky. Andoh-san and Caramel are still asleep, no doubt because it's still an hour before school starts.
I stretched and got dressed, ready to head out and breathe in the fresh morning air.
The lake by the Academy looks every so beautiful, all sparkling and crystal clear.
It's not very surprising that Kashino comes here to think.
That reminds me, I have to finish reading their profiles!
I took them out of my back, sat on a dry leaf and began again.
Oh, there's their account on Henri-sensei's comeback, man was a certain someoNE jealous!
In my theatre
"What are you yelling out? It's nothing like that!" shouted Ichigo.
"Ichigo, you're blushing! (Not true)" said Vanilla.
Kashino dropped the tempering tool and it clattered against the cold floor.
Chocolate looked on as Ichigo denied Vanilla's rantings while she wiped the chocolate from the floor.
'When is Kashino gonna admit it,' she thought as she rubbed warily with a cloth at the chocolate from his tempering tool.
She was sad for him of course that that dense heroine was admiring Henri-sensei way too much until it could be mistaken as romantic love.
In the real world
"My my, what's Agape these days just can be thought of as Eros, just like that." Sighed me.
Yesterday night before I went to bed, I had a private talk with Chocolate …
Flashback
"You know, if you really get them together, I'd be really thankful." Said Chocolate.
I nodded while hiding something from my face.
She didn't notice and continued talking, just like Chocolate, thought I.
"He really loves her and I should think she feels the same, after all he is Kashino Makoto and he did slap me for her, I'm not proud of that but it would do them both good."
I smiled, Chocolate is a truly perfect tsundere character.
"Not…not that I want them to be in love, it's just that, urmmm…He'll concentrate more without being jealous! Yeah that's right!"
A smirk replaced my once understanding smile, she must really be desperate.
End Flashback
Ichigo liked him I did know that but it was for them to both officially proclaim their love together but I could predict it was coming very soon now.
Hanabusa, as her mom said, would be perfect for her but he is so narcissistic and narcissism is a personality trait of egotism,vanity, conceit and/or simple selfishness.
It totally deflects love, and I've got that stupid rose bath scene to prove it.
Andoh-san, why he's like a brother to all of them and he is amazingly touchy about the subject of Caramel.
Thus, Kashino Makoto should be perfect for her, I just know it.
Plus I can conclude he is the manliest of them all.
I rushed back into the school before the bell rang and Amano-san fell down the stairs again…
During baking lessons, the students learned how to bake a Clafouti , a custard filled with fruit.
Ichigo of course, chose strawberries and Makoto oranges while Hanabusa cherries and Andoh red grapes.
The A group got the highest scores as usual. During lessons, Café-kun and the others offered a piece of everyone's and oh boy, oishii deshitta!
It was light and the sugar dusting made the texture not too oily not too fruity.
While the Sweet princes and Princess Ichigo were walking in the carpeted halls, Rumi-san caught up to Ichigo and handed her a letter.
"Who's it from, Amano-san?" asked Andoh.
Makoto was distracted probably as he remembered yesterday night's scene in the kitchen. I tried with all my might to block whatever disgusting scenes from Kashino's head and when I failed, I groaned.
She tore the letter open and blushed as she said, "Oh, it's from Rick-san in France, Paris."
He glanced up, cut from his visions and coldly said , "Oh that cold lying cheating heartless playboy?"
Chocolate smacked him on the head and Vanilla frowned at him.
"Don't worry guys, he's just jealous." Whispered I.
"Makoto, what's your problem?" shouted Ichigo, angry at him.
He looked hurt and replied, "Nothing, I've got something to do and Chocolate please don't follow me."
Choclate slumped but she nodded and so did Vanilla when Ichigo ran after Kashino alone.
As I flew to join them, I heard Andoh mutter "She called you by your name, Ma-kun…"
He smiled and Hanabusa looked very distracted.
Meanwhile, Ichigo ran with all her might and it took all my vigilance to make sure she didn't trip on eaves, twigs and the like.
Kashino sat cross-legged on the river bank and rubbed his temples with his forefinger.
"Why does my stomach get turned over and I feel like punching that bastard at the very mention of his name from her mouth? Why? I've never experienced this emotion before…Kuso!"
"It's called jealousy, you devil." Said Ichigo softly.
I smirked and settled, sitting on the water while she herself sat next to him.
"Ichigo?" he was startled.
She smiled one of those innocent, cute smiles that he loved (and so did I).
"Ne, Mako-kun, if you really love me in that selfish way, I don't think I can stand it." Said Ichigo.
"Ai wa nanidesu ka?" asked Kashino with a sigh. "You see, I'm really messed up here, Ichigo-chan.
Ichigo never said it but she loved the way he called her that instead of plain 'Amano'.
And his kisses, oh to experience them was heaven on earth, Kami-sama…
"Well, love is when you really admire the person and want to spend time with them whenever, wherever." She scooted closer to him.
'Never would I have thought the day would come when you would teach me something Ichigo.' Thought Kashino as he looked at his hands, clasped in hers.
"And?"
"And, when they do this to you, you feel really happy and so do they."
She gave a quick and sudden kiss on the lips and they smiled.
"It's also when you feel like with that person, all your worries fade away and your friendship is set on fire."
He nodded slowly, he had finally understood.
I feel so proud of Ichigo-chan, making my existence so darn clear!
I pushed him closer to her and they kissed with her pressed to the grass.
She pulled away after a while and smiled tenderly.
"But all those forbidden (and delicious, she added in her mind)kisses we had, are they really love?" asked her to him.
He seemed confused as well, he kept silent. She stood up and walked away from him. I followed her.
He knew it would be the last time he could see her as tomorrow was the starting of a school break.
"Ichigo, Aishiteru!" shouted Kashino after her.
He hoped she heard.
She did. However, she said "Are you sure, Mako-kun?"
When she arrived at the Academy gates, she sprawled helplessly on the ground and asked again, "are you sure?"
I knew they would be confused at this point, but I could do nothing as love spirits were disallowed to meddle in the true affairs of love. Let it flow naturally.
So, I watched helplessly as she shed large tears in her eyes and Kashino ran for his life after her later at the train station.
She left while only looking once back at him, but I know they both will wait patiently for school to start again.
It is never too late, never.
Sorry for the almost sad ending, people but I will make it better i promise!
BTW, Sorry for flaming Hanabusa I do think he's an overboard narcissist but I also enjoy his trait of this as it is so funny and ever cute(the rose bath scene was the best!). He also has a touching background. Gomenasai-des~.
