Heyy sorry I haven't been updating for a while I had a really bad case of writers block but I think I came up with something decent so yep enjoy! Oh yeah and in this chapter I'll show you a bit of Team Miki's skill. Oh and I edited the summery a little because it didn't really go well with the story.
Ichigo's POV
As we walked to the courtyard to see what Teams were competing this week. When we looked at the chart, we saw that we weren't competing this week.
"Finally a break, all we've been doing is competing." Said Kaito sighing.
"Don't be so lazy, Team Miki is competing today at 4, why don't we check out the competition?" Asked Masashi.
I stiffened a little bit. I saw the boy's eyes on me.
"Who's the team they're competing against?" I asked hoping they would brush it off.
"Team Ricardo, I hear they're quite the international Team." Said Itsuki.
My eyes widened a bit in surprise, what are they doing in Japan? I thought. My thoughts were interrupted by Kaito's voice.
"Earth to Ichigo, we'll be late to class if you don't snap out of it." He said playfully.
"Oh sorry, I have something to do after class, but I'll meet you at the match." I said plainly as I walked off.
"Eh, but what about practice?" Asked Itsuki catching up to me.
"Do it without me, I'll be busy after school, but I'll definitely be able to come to the match." I said.
"Fine." Said Itsuki.
Itsuki's POV
Class went by fast, and before I knew it, it was already the end of the day.
"Bye guys, sorry I can't make it to practice today!" Yelled Ichigo as she ran off.
"Something wrong, Ichigo-san almost never skips out on practice." Said Masashi.
"We should follow her, she might be in danger." Said Kaito.
"You just want to skip out on practice, why do you guys want to see what Ichigo's doing anyway? "I asked annoyed.
"Eh, since when have you started calling Ichigo-chan by her name?" Asked Masashi with a smirk on his face.
"Eh, did something happen between the two of you?" Asked Kaito with an even bigger smirk on his face.
I turned away as I felt a blush creep up to my face.
"W-w-what are you idiots talking about? Nothing happened between me and th-that CAKE PIG!" I yelled blushing.
"Don't lie Itsuki, you confessed to her." Said Coco with a smirk.
"EH?!" Everybody yelled.
"Coco!" I yelled in frustration.
"You con-confessed?" Yelled Masashi and Kaito surprised, but Kaito had a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"S-so what, you guys have a problem with it?" I asked trying to hide my blush.
"Eh, I never thought you would say it." Said Kaito smirking a bit.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked angrily.
"Tch, you're just as dense as Ichigo when it comes love." Said Masashi sighing.
"Masashi, don't you like Ichigo too?" Asked Kaito.
"Yeah, but I gave up on her after Kanon confessed." Said Masashi.
"Wait, WHAT?" I yelled.
"So then does that mean-" Said Kaito before Masashi cut him off.
"Yep, we're going out." Said Masashi proudly.
"But, what about you, Kaito, don't you like Ichigo,you flirted with her ever you met her?" Asked Masashi.
"Yeah, but I also decided to give up, Itsuki needs her more." Said Kaito.
"Why are you giving up for me, if you truly love her, you would fight for her?!" I snapped.
"Exactly, I said I liked her, I never said I loved her, unlike somebody." Said Kaito with a wide smirk plastered on his face.
I finally realized I fell into his trap. I turned bright red.
"Aww, look, Itsuki is blushing." Said Masashi teasingily.
"Urasai!" I yelled.
Ichigo's POV
As I ran around school looking for Lemon-chan's Team, Icing asked me an interesting…
"Nee, Ichigo, how are going to reply to Itsuki?"
Suddenly I stopped.
"Huh, Ichigo, are you okay?" Asked Vanilla.
"Y-yeah...let's get going."
"So Ichigo back to my question, how are you going answer?" Asked Icing again.
Before I was able to reply a nostalgic voice interrupted me.
"Ichigo-chan!" Yelled Rick as he ran over to hug me.
"Rick, long time no see." I said as I escaped his embrace.
"Ichigo-sempai!" Yelled Lemon-chan as she ran over to hug me as well.
"Lemon-chan, you grew so much." I said examining Lemon-chan. Her hair was still tied in pigtails but she was a bit taller. ( The Professional series didn't happen yet)
"I could say the same thing about you." She said as she examined me.
"So you're competing in the Grand Prix in Japan?" I asked.
"Yep, but if I don't make it, I'll just go back to Paris."
"Nee, Ichigo-sempai, why is Kashino-senpai and the others on another team?" She asked.
Suddenly my expression darkened, and the tension in the air became thicker. It became silent.
"S-so how have you been Ichigo-chan?" Asked Rick trying to break the tension.
"I've been fine, so what are you guys going to make for the match today?" I asked.
"Well, since each team is suppose to make a plated dessert that represents the theme of Tropical, we were thinking of making a lemon chiffon cake decorated with orange slices so looks like a sun and it adds a punch. On top, we plan to have white chocolate ganache spiraled around the pound cake. Next, we will have a fresh fruit parfait consisting of fresh melons, basils, and vanilla ice cream." Said Lemon as she shows me a picture of their creation.
"That's great you'll win for sure!" I said brightly.
"Let's hope so, we have to go Ichigo-chan, we'll see at the competition!" Said Lemon as she stood up to leave.
"Bye Ichigo-chan!" Yelled Rick.
"Good luck!" I yelled as I waved them goodbye.
"Now, let's see, what tim- OH NO I'M LATE, ITSUKI'S GONNA KILL ME!" I yelled frantically as ran to the competing hall.
When I was running down the stairs, I bumped into someone, and I made them fall down the stairs with me. I closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, I immediately bowed and apologized.
"I'm so sorry, I was in a rush and-" I said before I was cut off by a familiar voice. Too familiar.
"Can you get off of me." Said the voice impatiently.
The voice was Kashino. When I realized the position we were in, I immediately got up, mumbled sorry, and ran away.
Kashino's POV
She fell on me. That girl. When she did, I couldn't explain it, my heart was beating faster when she was next me. I didn't know what to do so I told her to get off of me. She quickly got up and mumbled sorry for running away. What's this feeling I feel right now, I never feel this when I'm with Miki, it's so nostalgic.
Ichigo's POV
I felt myself burning up. My heart was beating three time faster as I ran through the crowds frantically. Busy in my thoughts, I ran into somebody…AGAIN!
"I am so sorry, I wasn't looking-" I said before being cut off.
"Where were you?! We were looking all over for you!" Scolded Itsuki.
"Itsuki! Hehe sorry about that, I guess I kinda lost track of time." I said rubbing the back of my head.
Suddenly Kaito interjected and said…
"How long are you guys going to be in that position?"He asked smirking.
I suddenly saw that I was sitting on top of Itsuki, and we received stares and whispers. We immediately stood up blushing.
"Awww look at the lovebirds." Said Masashi teasingly.
"Urasai!" We both said in unison, then looked away blushing.
"Alright come on love birds, hurry up or we'll be late." Said Kaito.
"Fine." We both muttered.
(A/n hehe normally I would torture you guys but since I haven't updated in so long, I won't… YOU GOT LUCKY!)
"Welcome everybody! It's time for the second round of the Grand Prix! Today we have the amazing Team Miki!" Yelled the chairman as the lights shone on them.
"Next, we have guests from the Main Campus, please welcome… Team Lemon!" Yelled the chairman, and once again the lights shone on them.
"The theme from this round is Tropical, you have two hours… You may begin!" Yelled the chairman as the starting bell rang.
After two hours, I was amazed. Lemon-chan's lemon chiffon cake looks more amazing in real life, and the orange peels definitely makes it look tropical. I hate to say it, but Team Miki's plated dessert looked amazing also. The watermelon and kiwi slices made the shape of a palm tree, in addition to that, they put a vanilla pound cake on the bottom to make it like sand from a beach, finally, instead of a parfait like Lemon-chan, they made the other half of the watermelon hallow and put in fresh slices of fruits. The aroma of fresh fruits was everywhere.
When it time for judging, each judge had a slice of Lemon-chan's chiffon cake.
"Delicious! The lemons and oranges had a sour and tangy taste, and the extra sugar in the white chocolate ganache evens out the tanginess!" Said the Chairman.
Then, the judges walked over to Team Miki to taste their creation, their facial expressions changed.
"Scrumptious! The fresh fruits and the pound cake gives me a serene feeling, and the cake arrangements help with that also."
"Now, it's time for the judges to judge!"
"It's obvious who the winner's going be." Said Itsuki.
"Who?" I asked with curiosity.
"Team Miki of course! Didn't you see the judge's face?" Yelled Itsuki.
"No! Team Ricardo's going to win! Don't underestimate them!" I shouted back.
"Guys! Quiet down! Everybody's looking!" Whispered Kaito.
Finally, the scoreboard was up. Team Lemon got 93 points in taste, but Team Miki got 96. Team Lemon got 92 points on fruit arrangement, but Team Miki got 96…
"I told you they would win." Whispered Itsuki.
After all the scores were addedTeam Lemon's total points were 798, but Team Miki was at 897 points…
"And the winner is… Team Miki!" Boomed the loudspeaker.
When the match was over, I immediately ran over to Team Ricardo.
"Lemon-chan, minna, are you all alright?"
"We're fine Ichigo-chan, we're were planning to go back to Paris anyway." Said Lemon-chan.
"Wait what, you're going back to Paris?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah, but I promise you, you'll see me at the Cake Grand Prix finals." She said with determination.
"It's a promise! When is your flight leaving?" In about 2 hours, goodbye Ichigo-chan, I'll see you soon." Said Lemon-chan as she walked away.
As I was walking back to my dorm I ran into Tennouji-san.
"Hello Tennouji-san."
"Amano-san, we need to talk."
"Ok what do you want to talk about?"
"I know…"
"What?"
"About Team Ichigo, about Miki."
"H-H-How?" I asked shocked.
"When I tasted your cake, at first I didn't know what that nostalgic was, but after the words you spoke to me, I remember…"
"S-so you know about Miki too?"
"Yes, she fooled usfor too long, I'm going to reveal the truth."
"No! I'm happy with my new life, I don't care anymore."
"How can you say that? Don't you want your friends to remember you?"
"What kind of friend were they to forget?" I aid as I walked away.
Heyyyy guys, sorry I haven't updated in so looooooooooonnnnng. I just didn't have time, I meant for this chapter to be finished two months ago, but I don't know time just slipped away. Your commnets made me so happy though, but there's one thing I'm torn about, WHO SHOULD ICHIGO END UP WITH? I originally planned for it to be Kashino, but you guys say Itsuki? So idk what to do now, so I'll let you guys decided. Oh and there's one more thing I would like to say…
