Me: Two chapters in one day!

Amu: Why exactly?

Me: Well I had chapter 4 ready a while ago, I finished yesturday, but I had really bad internet so I couldn't upload it to fanfic.

Amu: I see, and I'm not in the chapter?

Me: ... Yes?

Amu: ...

Me: Could you do the disclaimer though?

Amu: *sighs* fine, Mikashi doesn't own Shugo Chara or Yumeiro Patissiere.

Yumeiro Chara Doki-Doki

Chapter 5: Mystery Figure Revealed!

Dejectedly Kashino rested his head on the tree trunk, why did he feel so sick inside? "Kashino-san," someone whispered into his ear, tracing his finger around Kashino's ear.

Kashino flinched at the touch and looked behind him; a person was standing behind him. Their face was hidden by their large black overcoat. "W-who are you?" Kashino asked, doing his best to rub away the remains of tears.

"I'm your safe haven Kashino-san," the person laughed as if it had made a joke.

"S-safe haven," Kashino repeated, trying to figure out who this person was.

"Yes, Kashino-san, I am the one who will solve all those problems, the ones deep inside you." He poked Kashino on the left side of his chest, was it implying his heart?

"W-what are you going to do?" He asked.

"I can make your dreams come true," the figure laughed again and removed the hood. It was a girl (Author: Shocker! It's not really a guy) with blonde hair and a purple clip, "My name is Lulu," she took a ruby pink necklace out of her pocket. She had the metal chain wrapped around her hand. She smiled, "Would you like it Kashino-san?"

Kashino was in shock, "that thing can make my dreams come true?"

Lulu nodded, "You could be the best chocolatier, like you've always wanted, or..." she paused, "you could character transform."

His eyes brightened at the thought, "that necklace can do that?"

"Of course it can Kashino-san," she smiled again, "do you want it?"

"I..." His eyes seemed to hollow for a minute, "c-can I really have it?"He asked, already reaching for it.

"Yes you can Kashino-san," she put the necklace in his hand. She leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "this is our little secret, make sure no one sees it."

"Y-yes Lulu-san..."

"Please," Lulu put up her hand, "call me Lulu-chan."

"Lulu-chan," Kashino repeated, he put the necklace around his neck almost automatically and hid it under his shirt.

"Perfect," Lulu smiled, "enjoy your dreams Kashino." She began to walk away.

"Wait," Kashino stopped her, "will I never see you again?"

"You will, don't worry about that Kashino-san." Lulu patted his head, "See you later."

"Lulu-chan..." He seemed to hesitate for a second, "you can... You can call me by my first name..."

"Of course," Lulu mused, "I will see you later, Makoto-kun."

She walked away, and Kashino was left to re-gather this thoughts. He fingered with the metal chain of the necklace and smiled. His dreams would come true, with the help of Lulu's necklace, right?

Doki! ~

Ichigo ran around the school grounds, where had Kashino gone off to? She had heard from Andou he had started crying and ran off. Why is he so upset with the fact he can't character transform? Ichigo wondered to herself, what's so bad about that?

Finally she spotted Kashino in front of the tall oak tree, fingering something that was on his neck. "Kashino, what are you doing?" She called out to him.

Immediately let go of whatever he had been fingering and turned to face her, "Oh, I'm not doing anything."

She walked over to him, "Come on..."

"Where are you taking me?" He asked.

"Come, this is important." She grabbed him by the wrist and started running.

"But where are we going?" Kashino asked again.

"To the kitchen classroom, you need to see this."

"What is it?" He was getting annoyed, "What do you want to show me?"

"Just come and see!" Ichigo replied impatiently.

They ran across campus to the large kitchen building, "What is it?" Kashino asked again.

"Come inside," Ichigo replied.

"It better not be some ugly cake you want me to eat..." He trailed off. A small scratchy cough echoed through the kitchen.

"Would I be so serious about a cake?" Ichigo frowned, "Come, this is a real emergency."

Kashino walked into the kitchen room with Ichigo, she pointed to the A group's workspace. Chocolat was sitting there, coughing crazily, Vanilla at her side. "C-Chocolat..." Vanilla placed a spirit sized towel on Chocolat's forehead.

"What happened?" Kashino asked, looking desperately at Vanilla for an answer.

"She just went ill," Vanilla replied, "We don't know why."

"W-when did it happen?"

"The exact time I don't know, but it was about 30 minutes ago." Vanilla sighed, "Poor Chocolat..."

Kashino was shaken, he couldn't believe it. He placed a hand over the necklace hidden under his shirt. I thought this would make my life better... Why is everything going wrong? "Will she be okay?"

Vanilla pursed her lips together, "I'm not sure," she looked at Ichigo, "if you don't mind, I'm going to take Chocolat to the doctor in the sweets kingdom."

"Go ahead;" Ichigo replied sympathetically, "I can train with Kashino tomorrow." She looked at him with her chocolate brown eyes.

"Y-yes, I guess so..." Kashino still had his eyes glued on Chocolat.

Chocolat coughed again, "K-Kashino... Be good... Okay?" She smiled weakly.

"I will..." Kashino could feel the lump forming in his throat again. Stop crying idiot! You seem like such a weakling right now! He swallowed, "Good luck in the sweets kingdom."

Doki! ~

"Beep! Beep! Beep!" Kashino's alarm rang out at 7:00.

"Can you hit the snooze button Chocolat?" Kashino mumbled turning over. The alarm continued screeching and Kashino sat up in bed. He looked at the bedside table and at Chocolat's empty bed. "Oh yeah..." He sighed, "She's in the sweets kingdom."

"Beep! Beep! Beep!" The alarm was getting on his nerves.

"Shut up!" Kashino snapped at the alarm clock, smacking it off. He settled back in bed, staring at the ceiling he was wondering what day it was, Saturday. He'd skip his regular morning tempering, just for today.

Doki! ~

Kashino was awoken again, not by his alarm but his buzzing cell phone. "Buzz! Buzz!"

Without getting up he slid his hand out of the covers and began moving at it across the bedside table. He clasped his cell phone and brought it back to him. Opening his eyes, he read the caller ID, Amano Ichigo. He clicked the answer button, "What do you want Amano?"

She seemed to hesitate for a moment, "Were you sleeping?" His voice had sounded groggy.

"Yeah, so?"

"I've been waiting at the kitchen classroom for about 30 minutes, Are you coming?" Kashino glanced at the clock. It was already 10:30; I was asleep for 3 ½ hours more! Kashino freaked, he was never the one to sleep in.

"I'm coming," he replied, pushing the bedcovers away, "20 minutes max."

"Okay!" Ichigo giggled, "See you soon."

After getting ready, Kashino went to retrieve his cell phone from the bedside table, when he saw Lulu's necklace. Hesitating for just a moment, he snatched it up and put it on. He tucked it under his shirt and ran out to meet Ichigo.

Doki! ~

Ichigo was waiting on the steps to the kitchen classroom, "Good morning Kashino!" She waved when she spotted him.

"... Hi," Kashino walked right past her and into the classroom. She stood up, brushed of her shorts and followed him in.

"So what should we work on today?" Ichigo asked happily, "I was thinking you could help me with the praline cream..."

Kashino was already taking out tempering tools, "I haven't been teaching it to you recently. We'll pick up where we started a few weeks ago."

Ichigo's face fell slightly; obviously she had been excited to work with the praline cream, "Oh... Okay," She shifted he weight, "I'll go get the chocolate... Do you want regular or white?"

"The usual," Kashino replied, not looking up from his preparations.

Ichigo gazed at him sadly, was Kashino really okay?

Me: Chapter 5 is done!

Kashino: Why would I skip tempering practise. Maintaining a routine is important.

Me: Don't ask me, you're the one who did it.

Kashino: You're the one who made me...

Me: Please review!

Kashino: Oy! Are you even listening!
