Chapter Seven

Royal Fiance

Apology

ICHIGO'S POV

Now I know why he needed the money, no wonder he didn't say anything. Sota gave up everything to help his aunt, he even had to dropout of school. Not to mention his mother died.

(Ichigo put his hand over his mouth and was outraged by his action twords Sota knowing that he was... kind)

*Knock Knock*

Aunt Izumi: Come in. Ichigo: Excuse me, I'm one of Sota's friends, my name is Ichigo Kurosaki.

*holding bouquet flowers*

Aunt Izumi: Nice to meet you and may I do say, your really handsome.

Ichigo: Thank you, where is Sota?

Aunt Izumi: He's in the bathroom, I'll tell him you came and visit.

Ichigo: I'll wait for him in the lounge.

(After leaving from his aunt's room Ichigo decides to take his father's advice and try to get to know all about Sota and his family)

Sota: Where did these flowers come from?

Aunt Izumi: Your friend brought them over, he said his name was Ichigo Kurosaki.

Sota: Ichigo..? *Heart Pounding*

Aunt Izumi: It's almost time for my surgery, see you tomorrow.

Sota: Bye. *Hugs*

(Sota makes his way to the lounge where Ichigo was at)

END OF POV

SOTA'S POV

Sota: Ichigo...thank you for the bouquet of flowers, my aunt really loves them.

Ichigo: Sota, I'm sorry.

(Ichigo raps his arms around Sota pulling close to his chest)

Ichigo: I now know why you needed the money in advanced, and I'm really sorry.

Sota: I really wanted to tell you about it but i was afraid that you will hate me and be mad at me. *Blush*

(Ichigo embraces him because he was about to cry)

Ichigo: She doesn't really know about our engagement, right?

Sota: No, I told her that I have a job as a caregiver.

Ichigo: Sota, I want to get to know you from start to finish and I want to know everything about your family.

Sota: My family? I'll tell you one thing, I really didn't have a good childhood.

Ichigo: You can tell me all about it when we get home.

Sota: Before we go home, can I do one more thing?

(Ichigo eyebrow went up)

Ichigo: Like what?

Sota: Arrange for my mom's burial ceremony tomorrow.

(Ichigo looked at Sota's face and he was depressed knowing that he had to say goodbye to his only mother)
