Me: Yay! So here's the first ever chapter of Atrashii Hajiimari! I hope you like it!

Ichigo: Wow Mikashi! Ever since you got over your writers block you've been updating like crazy!

Me: I know, I also want to get in as much writing as I can before school starts. My school actually starts tomorrow!

Ichigo: Okay! Mikashi doesn't own Yumeiro Patissiere or Shugo Chara!

Yumeiro Chara Atrashii Hajimari!

Chapter 1: The Journey Begins Here!

"Ichigo..." The young brunette stirred but wouldn't wake up. "Ichigo!" He poked again, she murmured something in her sleep.

The blond boy sighed and smiled. He slowly pressed his lips against hers. Ichigo's eyes finally opened. "KASHINO!" She wailed, pulling away, clearly embarrassed by his choice as to how to awake her.

"What?" He asked her, a smirk on his face.

Ichigo blushed, "Geez, you're annoying."

He laughed, "Whatever, I woke you up because we're here."

Ichigo's eyes widened, "Are we really?" She stared out the window, "Oh my gosh! We are!"

Kashino ruffled her hair, "Ikuto left for his house a while ago, Amu's inside her house." He pointed to the sweet looking home.

"Aw! Amu has a pretty house!" Ichigo cooed.

Rolling his eyes, Kashino hoisted his and Ichigo's suitcases out of the vehicle. "Come on, let's go." He smiled and gave her a kiss on the lips.

Hajii! ~

Amu bit her lip, "They'll be fine Amu-chan," her mom assured her, "I'm sure they'll be fine!"

"I'm not worried that they're not going to like it's just... Mom..."

"What's wrong with them staying with us? You invited them back here, didn't you?"

"I know... But... I mean, them sharing a room together... Isn't that kind of awkward?"

Her mother shook her head, "Let them decide Amu-chan, didn't you say they were dating each other?" She looked out the window, "Their even kissing in our front yard!"

"EH?" Amu looked out the window. She laughed nervously.

Ichigo and Kashino walked into the house, "Wow!" Ichigo gushed, "It's so pretty in here!"

"Hello!" Amu's mom smiled at them, "You're the friends Amu-chan met at the other school?"

"Yes!" Ichigo returned the smile, "My name's Amano Ichigo, this is my boyfriend, Kashino Makoto."

Amu's mom looked at Amu with her eyebrows raised. "Well it's a pleasure to meet you! Amu-chan told me you guys were coming, I'll show you guys where your staying!"

"EH?" Kashino and Ichigo said together.

"I didn't know we were staying here!" Ichigo exclaimed happily.

"I didn't either," Kashino blinked, taking in the news, "we don't want to be intruding on your family..."

"It's quite alright!" Amu's mom laughed, "everyone's glad to have you..."

"AMU-CHAN!" Amu's dad was at the door of the kitchen, "WHY?"

"Dad?" Amu wailed.

"HONEY!" Her dad wailed, "you're letting a boy live with us? My Amu-chan's too young!"

Amu's mom sighed, "Please excuse my husband, he's not... Used to having boys around."

Kashino had on a blank face, "That's alright."

"Amu-chan! Show your friends were to put their stuff."

"Alright," She smiled, "Come on guys! I hope you'll like it."

Hajii! ~

"Wow Amu!" Ichigo looked at the room, it was a robin blue with huge windows and soft white curtains. The two double beds had white iron bed frames, pretty blue sheets and 2 pillows each. There were two clothes dressers, each with 3 drawers.

"This is where you guys will stay," Amu nodded, "Is that okay?"

Kashino was the first to notice, "So... Ichigo and I are... Staying in this room together?"

Ichigo's cheeks flushed pink. Amu laughed nervously, "Is that alright with you? We were kind of short a room in our house."

Ichigo shook her head, "No... It's alright, we'll work something out, right Kashino?"

He nodded, "No worries Amu."

Amu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, I thought this might be a little too much for you guys."

"We're fine!" Ichigo smiled, "I think I'll start putting my clothes in one of the dressers. She chose the one on the right side.

"I guess I take the left side then," Kashino laughed.

"If you need anything, I'll be in my room, it's right beside yours, the bathroom's down the hall."

"Okay!" Ichigo replied while zipping open her luggage.

Amu's eyes widened, "Oh and check the sliding door closet in the corner, I got you guys something!"

"Alright," Kashino replied.

"Okay!" Amu smiled, leaving the room. After getting settled in, Kashino went to the closet.

"What do you think is the surprise?" He asked Ichigo.

"I don't know," She said opening the closet, "Let's look!"

Hajii! ~

"Wow!" Ichigo's eyes curled up in delight. She took the outfit off the hanger, "This must be the uniform for Amu's school!"

Kashino nodded, reaching for the other one. The girls' uniform was a white shirt with a red tie, a black long sleeved sweater and a red checker skirt. Amu had also given Ichigo a pair of her red checker legwarmers. The boys' uniform was much like the girls' substituting a blue tie and blue shorts for the red tie and skirt. Two brown book bags were leaning against the closet wall.

"This is a really cute outfit!" Ichigo gushed, "I want to try it on!"

"Go ahead," Kashino laughed, "There's nothing stopping you."

Ichigo headed off for the bathroom, and Kashino was left to stare at the outfit. So this is it, he thought, we're really going to go to Amu's school. Ichigo then came skipping back in, "This is so cute!" She twirled around the middle of the room.

"It looks good on you," Kashino replied, staring as the brunette continued to dance in the middle of the room.

She stopped dancing and went to look into the full length mirror. Nodding her head approvingly she ran back to the bathroom to change again.

Hajii! ~

"Amu-chan! Ichigo-chan! Kashino-kun!" Amu's mom called from downstairs, "Dinner's ready!"

The 3 came down the stairs and into the dining room. Sitting down they politely gave thanks for the meal and began eating. Ami, Amu's little sister was talking on and on about the visitors. "It's so cool having foreigners at home!" She smiled.

Amu's mom glanced at Kashino and Ichigo nervously, "Ami-chan, they're not foreigners, they're just from a different part of Japan."

Ami laughed, "Really? Okay!" She turned to Kashino and Ichigo, "It's really nice to meet cha!"

Ichigo smiled at the young girl, "It's nice to meet you to Ami-chan!"

"Have you guys settled in well?" Amu's mom asked.

"Very," Kashino nodded, "We're all set to go to school tomorrow."

"Good, school starts at 8:30," Amu said.

"Alright," The two nodded. After dinner, Amu, Ichigo and Kashino hung out in the living room, watching T.V until Amu's mom told them to go to bed. Once in their room and Ichigo quietly slipped into bed. Kashino turned off the light and went to bed as well. "Neh Kashino?" Ichigo asked into the darkness.

"What Ichigo?" Kashino mumbled, clearly almost asleep.

"Good night." She whispered.

She thought she heard him laugh. "Good night Ichigo."

Laying in the darkness, Ichigo rolled over to face the window. Everything's changing. She thought, I hope I can be friends with everyone tomorrow; I want to show them who I really am, not some front I might put up, my true self to be a sweet, kind and loving girl.

Kashino lifted his head up to see if Ichigo was awake. After placing his head back on his pillow he stared at the ceiling. Tomorrow I'm not going to put up my cold front, I want people to see me for who I am, I'm still just a kid. I want to relax and have fun, be a little devilish and play a little. A smile slowly took form on his face; I'm going to be true to myself.

Hajii! ~

Ichigo woke up the next morning. When she opened her eyes to see it she had to do everything to keep herself from screaming. "K-Kashino!" She whispered sharply.

He stirred, "What?"

"T-there's an egg in my bed!"

He shot up, "An egg?"

She picked it up and walked to his bed, "Look!" The egg was a light pink with white feathers. Her eyes widened, "Kashino! You have one too!"

"EH?" He saw an egg beside him; it was almost a mirror image of Ichigo's. It was light gray with black feathers. He picked it up, "It's warm! That means it's going to hatch soon!"

"Oh! Mine's warm too!" Ichigo exclaimed.

Amu walked in then, "What's all the fuss about?"

Her eyes landed on the eggs, "Oh my my my."

Me: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Next time on Yumeiro Chara Atrashii Hajiimari!

Ichigo and Kashino walked into the class room. "Amano-san, Kashino-san, please introduce yourselves." Sensei said smiling.

The eggs in Kashino and Ichigo's bags wiggled.

"Go for it Ichigo-chan!"

"You can do it Kashino!"

A halo appeared on Ichigo's head while a black 'halo' on Kashino. Ichigo broke out into a sweet grin, "My name is Amano Ichigo!" She gushed, blinking her eyelashes sweetly, "I can't wait to learn more here!"

Kashino on the other hand smiled an energetic boyish grin, "Yo! My name's Kashino Makoto!" He laughed, "Can't wait to learn I guess, I'm glad to be here!" He winked playfully. The halo's then disappeared and Ichigo and Kashino quickly brought their hands to their mouths.

The Sensei smiled, "Thank you, please take your seats." Ichigo and Kashino walked to the desks and sat down. Amu had her head on her desk, trying to prevent herself from laughing at the poor couple.
