Skylight: Hey everyone! We've decided to make more updates, since it seems like a weekly update is wayyy too long to wait for a chapter, and we write our chapters pretty fast anyway. We will be updating two times every week now, on Wednesday like we normally do, and then on Saturday on the same week.

Kozakura: Hey everyone here's the next chapter and as Skylight said, The next chapter will come out this Saturday. We decided to do this because we finished chapter 2 four days before we were supposed to update and decided that one time a week was too much time so from now on, we're updating two days a week.

Ichigo POV

"Ouch... it hurts. Landing failed."

Ichigo blinked at the tiny fairy in front of her that had fell onto the table moments after the painting of the Queen was engulfed in light. Huh... was this a mirage? Had she been working too hard? She pinched herself, and to her surprise, she felt pain after all.

"Bonjour! I'm Vanilla, your Sweets Spirit, at your service!"

So Sweets Spirits were real. Ichigo leaned down to inspect the blonde fairy- Vanilla. "Oh... I didn't think you would be this small."

Vanilla narrowed her eyes, swinging her golden spoon out to hit Ichigo on the cheek, not far from where she had pinched it. "Ouch!"

"That's rude, you know! Although I'm small, I can make great pastries." Vanilla chided, waving her pointer finger up at Ichigo.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ichigo laughed nervously, scratching the back of her head. "Can you make my dreams become reality? Is that true?"

Vanilla lit up, her bright blue eyes exuding approval. "Of course! Your dream is to make delicious sweets, right?"

"Yes! Thank you very much for helping me!"

Ichigo waited, a smile stuck to her face as Vanilla instructed her to remake a crepe. With Vanilla's magic, surely she would be able to make perfectly delicious sweets in no time!

Vanilla huffed when Ichigo expressed that sentiment, watching Ichigo dump the burnt crepes into the trash can. "I can make you a better patisserie by tutoring you, but you still need practice to become better! Nothing in life comes that easily."

... Ichigo took back that statement. She sighed. There would be a very long and harsh journey ahead of her.

~☆~
Fumika POV

Fumika finished her meal and wiped her mouth, getting up to throw her trash away before walking out of the cafeteria. "Wasn't that a little harsh? Shouldn't we go look for her?" Sucre questioned.

"I say she should learn to grow up." Galexi huffed. She floated in front of Fumika as they walked in the halls, crossing her arms.

"Galexi! That's mean." Cream scolded, gasping at her straightforward remark. "What's gonna happen to Ichigo? She might get into trouble..."

"Enough guys, what happens next is none of our business. It's up to Ichigo to decide what she wants to do." Fumika stated, opening the door to her room.

Fumika scanned her room, walking towards her desk when she noticed her phone on it. This morning, she had been in such a rush that she had forgotten to bring it with her to class. Fumika flipped it open, tilting her head when a 'Missed Call' notification flashed on the screen." Henri? What could he possibly want?" Fumika questioned, dialing his number.

"Hello? Henri? Did you call me for something?" Fumika asked.

"Yes, I just wanted to ask you how your first day was." Henri replied.

"It was alright, I meet Ichigo and I have to say, I'm kinda skeptical about her abilities. She's a total beginner. Will she really be alright?" Fumika reported.

"I think she has an untapped potential. You should keep a close eye on her." Henri suggested."Also, we should appoint a time when we call each other so we'll know when we're available."

"Alright I guess, let's call each other around the time classes end. I'll text you my schedule." Fumika agreed. "I'll go look for Ichigo right now."

"Okay, be careful, I'll be waiting for your text. Bye." Henri said, hanging up.

Fumika sighed, closing her flip phone and getting up. "Looks like we're going to look for her after all. Anybody got a suggestion?"

"Why not try her room? She may be there or maybe her roommate knows where she is." Cream suggested.

"I'd rather stay here." Galexi rolled her eyes.

"Okay. Galexi, you stay here. Sucre, Cream, you two follow me." Fumika said. They headed for Ichigo's room but she wasn't there, and Rumi didn't know where she was either. The next few minutes were filled with Fumika searching all over the school for Ichigo. Sucre yawned, stretching her arms out. "I'm gonna head back to the dorm now, good luck with your search!" Sucre cheered as she she slowly flew away.

Fumika nodded, continuing to search for Ichigo until she opened the doors to the kitchen. There she was, along with a messy kitchen full of used materials.

Ichigo POV

Ichigo was carefully moving a crepe from the pan into the plate with words of encouragement from Vanilla when someone walked in. She turned around to greet the person, eyes widening when she noticed that it was Fumika, as well as a Sweets Spirit floating besides her. She gasped, jumping excitedly and dropping her crepe onto the table, running towards Fumika. "Fumika! You have a Sweets Spirits too?"

Vanilla whirled around and followed Ichigo to the two. Fumika's reply was a nod and a short, "Yes."

Vanilla's eyes sparkled when she realised that the Sweets Spirit was very familiar. "Cream! I haven't seen you in such a long time. How has life been in the human world?" She flew up to her, eagerly fluttering her wings.

Cream patted Vanilla's head, beaming. "I see you haven't changed at all, have you, Vanilla? The human world's been amazing!"

The two fairies flew to the nearest table to sit down and chat, while Ichigo and Fumika continued to stand where they were.

"Fumika, why didn't you tell me that you had a Sweets Spirit before? You said that it was just a legend." Ichigo looked at Fumika, her eyes wide and curious. "I didn't know that Sweets Spirits were real until Vanilla showed up!"

Fumika tapped her index finger against her cheek. "I wonder... I guess I just didn't want you to get a Sweets Spirits if you didn't have the ambition. If you had known that there really were Sweets Spirits, you would've been too affected by it."

"Oh, I see! Thank you, Fumika!" Ichigo looked pleased, having gotten her explanation.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Fumika asked Ichigo moments later.

"Something? I don't..." Ichigo trailed off, nose wrinkling as she sniffed the air. There was something burning. "OH! Vanilla! We forgot to finish the mille crepe!"

~☆~
Fumika's POV

Fumika sighed, getting tired of Ichigo rambling on about Sweet Spirits. It had been a few weeks since she discovered Ichigo had a sweets spirit, but Ichigo seemed like she would never get tired of that subject.

From the corner of Fumika's eye, she saw Andou walk by and, judging from the surprised look on his face, he heard Ichigo's rambling about sweet spirits.

Fumika decided to add more hints to their conversation."Ichigo, why did spirit choose you?"

Ichigo seemed to consider that thought. "I'm not really sure why. I'll ask Vanilla later."

Fumika nodded distractedly, noticing Andou going to the other Sweets Princes and whispering, throwing looks at the two girls.

Fumika smirked. Her plan had most likely succeeded. She turned her attention back to her pastry, finishing the final touches to the chocolate creation.

Fumika watched as Ameya-sensei came over and graded their cakes. Ichigo presented her creation which was a chocolate fruit roll." The Angel Devil fruit roll!" She exclaimed.

The teacher tasted it and nodded."You've improved, Ichigo. Alright everyone, you may taste each others sweets now."

Fumika noticed that Ichigo's eye lit up."Can I really taste everybody's sweets?!" At her slight nod, Ichigo quickly started going around, grabbing a little bit of everything from all of the other groups.

Fumika shook her head, walking over to the Sweets Princes, who were tasting Ichigo's roll.

"It's delicious, Ichigo." Hanabusa complimented, once Ichigo had gotten back from her taste testing.

"Yeah, it's good. The two chocolates create a good balance." Andou added.

"Really?" Fumika tasted the sweets, and Ichigo turned to her and Kashino.

"Come on, tell us how it is you two." Hanabusa urged.

"The cream is stiff. You beat it too much." Kashino stated bluntly.

"Eh?!" Ichigo screeched.

"But among everything Amano had made till now, this is the most delicious." Kashino said, a small smile on his face.

"D-did you just say it was delicious?" Ichigo stammered, blinking her eyes quickly.

"Y-yeah."

"Really? You didn't think it was ordinary or something?" Ichigo questioned, her suspicious gaze on Kashino.

"I'm honestly praising you here!" Kashino shouted angrily.

"He rarely praises people so he's embarrassed." Andou whispered to her.

"It's delicious right, Fumika?" Hanabusa turned to the girl that had yet to speak.

They all glanced at Fumika. "Kashino was right. The cream is too stiff. Although it's true that there are two different types of chocolate, you've completely ignored the bittersweet balance."

Ichigo sighed, depressed at Fumika's judgment. "However." Fumika interrupted before Hanabusa or Andou could speak.

"Your decoration is pretty creative and the fruits weren't a bad idea. The bitter chocolate was also good. If you keep practicing, I'm sure you'll get it one day." Fumika stated, wiping her lips.

Ichigo cheered up when she heard that until a tiny voice interrupted."I won't approve of you though!"

Kashino looked down at his pocket that was rustling, trying to stop something. "Those childish cakes."

"H-hey Chocolat.." Kashino said shakily, failing to contain the Sweets Spirit from escaping his pocket.

~☆~
Ichigo's POV

'Kashino has a Sweets Spirit too?' Ichigo opened her mouth to defend herself, but no words came out. Ichigo saw Kashino wince as he watched closely for her response.

An aggressive yell was all the warning that the group got before Vanilla burst out from under Ichigo's hat, charging towards Kashino's fairy. "HEY CHOCOLAT! Don't you dare insult my partner!"

"Vanilla?" Chocolat looked shocked, but composed herself and let out a snobby sounding huff. "It seems fitting that your partner is such a childish person... just like you!"

"What was that?" Vanilla shook with anger. "It seems to me that it's more fitting that you have a such a stuck-up, stubborn partner!"

The two fairies glared at each other. Vanilla rolled up her sleeves, clenching her fists. Ichigo, sensing an incoming fight, squeaked with dismay.

"That's enough, you two!" Another tiny voice, rather boyish this time, shouted. Ichigo turned to find a blue-haired fairy flying towards the fighting Sweets Spirits. He flew in between the two, pushing them farther away from each other.

"Waaa... please don't fight!" A different voice stuttered. An orange-haired Sweets Spirit rushed to help, only to trip over air and fall onto a table, rolling into a sink along the way. She sniffed and started crying, giant globs of tears rolling down her cheeks.

Andou walked over to help his fairy up while Ichigo watched the scene helplessly. Her gaze darted from the Vanilla and Chocolat's fight to Andou and his Sweets Spirit.

Cream came out from Fumika's hair and went to aid Andou's fairy. "There there, It's okay. They've stopped fighting, see?"

Hanabusa and Kashino eventually came to calm the chaos that had occured. After the five fairies sat down on the edge of the table, Chocolat suddenly piped up, "Hey, who are you?" The question was directed to Cream, who had joined them at the table.

"I'm Cream! I'm Fumika's Sweets Spirit." Cream stood up to bow. "It's nice to meet you all! What are all your names? I already knew Vanilla since we were friends in the Sweets Kingdom."

"I'm Chocolat, as you've probably heard, thanks to this loudmouth." Chocolat narrowed her eyes at Vanilla.

"Hey! If I'm loud, then you're a sonic blaster!"

Before Chocolat could reply and start fight all over again, the boy fairy interrupted. "My name is Cafe, my lady."

"And my name is Caramel!"

Ichigo paid close attention to their introductions, noting their names in her mind. Although the Sweets Spirits were quite strange, they all were very interesting. She looked forward to getting to know them.
