Summary
“Shiba-san?”
“Ah,” Shiba-san says. “Sorry. I’m not a Shiba.”
Kisuke frowns. There’s no way that this man isn’t a Shiba. It’s not possible to have this much resemblance and not belong to at least one of the branch families. Is he a bastard child? The Shiba’s usually take them in though. They’re big on family, and they aren’t likely to discriminate between ‘proper’ birth and ‘improper’ birth considering they’re the one great clan that doesn’t care for propriety at all. “If you say so,” Kisuke says. “What should I call you then?”
The man considers him for a moment, and it feels like Kisuke’s asked a question he shouldn’t have, which is ridiculous because he just wants to know this man’s name.
“You can call me Ichigo,” Ichigo-san says at last.

Summary
They meet again under the red maple tree.
“You know, I once had a friend who used to say that all the time too,” Ichigo-san says, breaking the silence.
Kisuke makes a noise of confusion.
“He used to always say that he was fine. Wouldn’t accept any help. Wouldn’t talk to anyone about things before they blew up in his face. Wouldn’t trust anyone."
