Me: Another chappie!
Kashino: 'Chappie' -_-
Me: My friend calls her chapters that too! . Her username on FF is iAnimeDarkAngel, though she has more stories on FictionPress. (Her name is the same on FictionPress)
Ichigo: Minty-chan does not own Yumeiro Patissiere!
"So Kuyuki, I haven't actually gotten a tour of the school yet, and I'd appreciate if you would-" I started nervously. (After my nap, obviously!)
"Aoi-chan! No need to be so formal!" She scolds. "Of course I'll give you a tour!" She starts to drag me to the door.
"Kuyuki! I still need to get changed!"
"Oh YEAH..."
"So this is the statue of the Sweets Spirits' Queen," Kuyumi says, while pointing to a huge stone statue of a beautiful fairy. "And rumor has that if one becomes your spirit, they'll make your wishes come true!" She finishes, clasping her hands together in hope.
"Wow! Do you have one?" I ask.
"Sadly, I don't. But I hope I can get one sometime in the future!" Kuyuki smiles. So I put my hands together, and kneel in front of the statue.
"Dear Queen of the Sweets Spirits, please keep me safe at the St. Marie's Academy. Thank you!" I then place a homemade cupcake, wrapped in plastic and tied with a blue ribbon on the podium the statue is on.
"Aoi-chan, you don't have to do that." Kuyuki says, questioning my actions.
"I know, I just am respecting the queen." I reply.
"Okay. Let's go view the library now!"
"What's that?" I ask, pointing to a poster.
"Oh yeah! Since it's almost Halloween, St. Marie's is hosting a Halloween bake sale for the first years! Which ever group (A/N: Assuming there is only one class. :P) sells the most sweets can get a discount at the Salon de Marie!"
"Did you say the Salon de Marie? I'm in!"
It has been quite the day and I am excited for some sleep. I plop myself on my bed and pick up my phone. I start texting the guys.
Kashino Sakura Aoi: k so me and my friend were touring the school, and we saw some posters about a Halloween bake sale. wanna join?
Okumura Kuuga: Yeah, sure.
Kashino Sakura Aoi: gr8! tell the others. we're practicing tomorrow at 8am in the cooking classroom.
I shut off my phone wait until I can shower. I wonder what Sunday-tomorrow- will have to offer.
"Hi!" I say brightly, despite the cold October morning air.
(No reply)
"I said, HI!" I say a little bit flustered.
"Oh. Kashino. I didn't see you there." Okumura Kuuga says coldly.
"We gonna go to the kitchen or what?" I ask.
"Yeah, I guess."
We walk along the path, a tension storm brewing between us. I finally break the ice.
"I'm cold."
"Your fault for not bringing a jacket."
*achoo!*
"You okay?" Okumura asks, turning a bright pink, from the cold air. (A/N: I hope. :3)
*cough cough* "Yeah, I guess, since it's my own fault." I say, shooting him a icy glare.
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry." He starts to take off his coat.
"What are you doing?" I say, my face turning red. He wraps his coat around me. "Now you're gonna be cold!" I say suddenly worried about him.
"Then what am I supposed to do, hug you and awkwardly walk to the kitchen, with you on my side?! I was only trying to help!" Okumura spits angrily. I take off his coat and run away. "Oi Kashino! Where are you going?!" I hear him yell, as I run off.
I am lost in the forest, shivering on the ground. Scared and alone, there's nothing I can do except mindlessly walk around and sit down on the cold, hard ground. I suddenly hear a bird flapping it's loud wings by. I realize that it isn't a bird. I stop in my tracks.
"Where are you?" I ask cautiously.
"Up here!" I hear a small voice yell. The small creature then appears in front of me.
"What's your name?" I ask the sweets spirit. It is wearing a frilly cream-coloured dress and a matching hair bow.
"Peach. You seemed interesting, so I decided to follow you. What's your name?"
"Kashino Sakura Aoi" I say back.
"What a pretty name. I specialize in peach flavoured things."
"That's cool! Peach is my favourite fruit!"
"I want to choose you to be my partner. We Sweet Spirits need partners to become Court Patissieres. You seem kind, hard-working, and-"
"Of course I'll be your partner! Can you really make my wishes come true?"
"Yeah, but you'll have to work for it!" She says. "I'll meet you at the cooking classroom!" She flies off. I am yet again alone in the forest. Even talking for such a little time helped lift my spirits. I am back to being depressed. Until...
"Kashino! I finally found you!" He said, his tone telling that he is relieved.
"You were searching for me?" I ask, a pink tint creeping onto my cheeks.
"Yeah." He answers. We awkwardly sit there in silence for a bit until Okumura and I realize something.
"Crap! We're late!"
"GUYSSOSOSOSOSOSORRYWE'RELATEIHOPEYOUDON-"
"Kashino-chan, it's okay. We actually just arrived ourselves." Sachio-kun trying to calm me.
"Aoi-chan!" I hear a high pitched voice hit the air. "I've been waiting here!" Peach says happily.
"Wait, Kashino. You have one too?"Okumura says. I see spirits come out from behind the guys.
Behind Okumura I see a lime-green haired female spirit. She is also wearing a frilly dress, except it is citrus coloured. She has a golden fork, and looks rather intimidating, compared to the others. Behind Sachio-kun I see a pastel green coloured dress on a petite spirit. She has big green eyes and light green hair. She is wearing a honeydew-coloured sundress, with a white belt. Behind Kuroichi-kun I see a chocolate brown suited spirit. His hair looks silky and smooth, like chocolate fondue.
"What are your names?" I ask, bending down to get a better look at the timid spirit behind Sachio-kun.
"H-Honeydew desu." She stammers.
"Fondue, pleasure to meet you!" Kuroichi-kun's spirit says. Just as gentlemanly as Kuroichi-kun himself! The only one who doesn't speak is the one beside Okumura.
"What's your name?" I say, moving towards Okumura's spirit.
"If you really insist on knowing, it's Lime." Rude, but proud and cute. I pause. Then the hidden abyss in my mind adds: Just like Okumura. I feel my face getting warm.
"Oi Kashino! Are you alright?" Okumura says, but I somehow can't look him in the eye. As he starts to move closer to assist me, I can feel my blush turn a light red colour, and my heart beating faster and faster.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I finally manage, but what I'm really thinking about is what that odd feeling I felt was.
Me: OoOoO! Aoi has finally felt the power of love!
Ichigo: Kids grow up too fast. *sniffle*
Me: Please review!
