Disclaimer: Anna-Chan does not own yumerio patissiere.

Me: short and sweet. I like it! Anywho, I'm annaChan! First fanfic, please review!

Kashino: I have a bad feeling about this...

Me: *grins evilly* you should... MWAHAHAHAHA

Summary: this story takes place 2 years after the end of yumerio patissiere sp professional. When Kashino takes an unseen direction with Ichigo to fufill his own dreams of becoming chocolatier, Ichigo's life goes in an unseen direction.

Kashino walked towards the glass gazebo. There sat Ichigo, just as he had asked her to. It was the day before Kashino's graduation, and the last day she would see him for a while, since he was a whole year ahead of her. He stopped for a second. Ichigo was so beautiful next to the sunset. Her hair shone and her eyes twinkled. When she saw him her whole face lit up. Kashino sighed. This was going to be so hard.

Kashino approached her, slowly, like the ground was melting beneath his feet. He sat down across from her and took a deep breath.

"Amano."

"Ka-Shino?" her voice quavered, she knew something was wrong.

"Ichigo, I'm sorry. I know tomorrow I am graduating from St. Marie. I couldn't tell you this before right now. But- I don't think that we were meant to be together."

*flashback, a year ago (not in the anime)*

Ichigo sighed. "I don't think this relationship is working out Kashino."

Kashino gasped. "Never think that! Don't go doubting yourself so easily! I know you still love me... It's obvious Ichigo." "you're right Kashino, I love you. Forget what I said. I'll stay by your side forever"

"Forever and always, got that?"

"yes, Kashino, always and forever"

*end of flashback*

"that's what I said to you last year... When I still loved you. Do you forget those feelings Kashino? Do you regret?"

"Ichigo, I-"

"no, Kashino. You were right. This isn't working out. Good-bye." Ichigo stood up, weakly at first, and slowly turned.

As she ran out of the gazebo, she held her arm up to her eyes. The tears wouldn't stop. Kashino wondered if he had made the right desicion. She really was beautiful.

Lemon wandered around the outer edge of the twinkling lake. It was so peaceful, so quiet... And yet there were footsteps, pounding, and felt a hard THUMP against her... She looked up into the face of a disheveled- Ichigo?

"Ichigo-sempai, what happened?" lemon screamed.

"And Vanilla-dechu!" Mint exclaimed, "what about her?"

Ichigo just sniffed.

"Lemon... What would you do... If you just got dumped by the love of your life?"

Lemon and Mint gasped. "NO WAY!"

Me: yay, a cliffhanger! Sorry for the short first chapter!

Chocolat: very, very short.

Vanilla: WE DIDN'T SHOW UP!

Caramel: it's okay, she said we would all be in the next few chapters-desu!

Hanabusa: Thanks for giving me Ichigo, Anna-chan!
