During the day, Juuichi and Torahiko placed the furnitures on the flat. It was quite simple, with an old TV, a green sofa and two cupboards on living room. A small shower and toilet on the bathroom, and big bed with a desk and a cupboard on the bedroom. Torahiko wanted to be Juuichi's friend, so he cocked meat for dinner. When they started to eat, the tiger stared at the bear waiting for his reaction.

—Hmmm... Not bad— said Juuichi while chewing the food— It's delicious

A spark of light appeared on Torahiko's eyes, smiling and waggin his tail and started.

—So do you like it?— he asked without stopping to smile

—Yeah... — answered the bear. Then he noticed that Torahiko was looking at him smiling— Uhh... dude...

—Yes, friend?

—Can you stop to looking at me? And don't call me friend, I'm Juuichi and we're not friends. We are partners

Then the tiger's eyes stopped to shine, and his ears leaned down, stopping to move his tail, and his big smile became to a sadly smile.

—Oh right... sorry Juuichi-chan— said Torahiko as he started to eat

Then, the brown cheeks of the bear turned a bit red, and a little angry face was draws on his face.

—D-don't add the “-chan”!— he exclaimed

When he noticed that Juuichin was red, Torahiko smiled happily again. After they finished the dinner, Juuichi went to his bedroom, and fell on the bed. But he wasn't alone.

—Goodnight Juuichi sempai— said Torahiko, hugging the bear and rubbing his belly

—What are you doing here?!— asked the bear, blushing and jumping from the bed

—Trying to sleep, and you?

—This is MY room. Go to yours

—But this is the single room here... and its big enough for us— said Torahiko with a little sadly face

—And your bed?— asked Juuichi

—I forgot it

They stayed in silence for a while, looking at each other.

—You can sleep on the sofa— sentenced the bear

But... — the tiger tried to talk but Juuichi interrupted him
—Good night

With a sadly face, Torahiko walked out of the room and laid down to the sofa. He was thinking about be a friend of his new partner. Suddenly his eyes started to shine again with a happy smile.

—I will not give up!— he exclaimed happily

—GO TO SLEEP!— yelled the bear 

The tiger fell asleep smiling and thinking the things that he will do to be his friend.

At the next day, a delicious smell woke up the big bear. He walked to the kitchen following the sweet smell, and saw the tiger cooking something.

—Good morniiing!— sang the tiger

—Good morning— replied Juuichi— what are you cooking?

—Some pancakes with honey

—Honey!— thought the bear— uhm... sounds delicious

—It is

The Torahiko gave a plate with pancakes and some hony over them. Juuichi stared at the plate. Then he took a fork and started to eat the pancakes while Torahiko was eating an apple. When they finished, they drank a cup of coffee.

—So what you gonna do today?— asked the tiger

—Today its saturday so I dont have to work— he answered

—Wow! Do you have a work?

—Yeah, and  also I do judo

—Wow... Where do you work?— asked the tiger with a spark of light on his eyes

Juuichi told him about his life. Juuichi lived in a little village. He stayed in his own house, working and practicing judo. He arrived to Karakiro because he found a work there, to be a judo teacher. The bear didn't tell him something about his family or something.

—What about you?— asked Juuichi— what are you doing here?

—It's a long story— answered Torahiko while he was rubbing the back of his head— I don't want to bother you with it

The bear shrugged as he dranks the coffee

—Okay— said the big bear

Torahiko was a bit sad because he didn't have interest on his life. When they finished the coffees, Juuichi walked out of the build. The sun was hot again, and a cool breeze blew on the village. Torahiko was behind him, and suddenly the tiger hugged the bear, rubbing his big belly.

—Mmmm... so soft— whsipered

Juuichi blushed and, angry, punch the top of his head, making him fall a bit dizzy

—G-god! S-so strong...

—Don't hug me, don't rub my belly— said Juuichi with his serious face

Juuichi started to walk, and Torahiko followed him walking besides him. They visited a lot of shops and beautiful places. In the village there was a lot of trees and people talking, walking or enjoying the good weather.

—Why are you following me?— asked the bear, but he didn't look at the tiger

—I don't know so many places of this village, so I think we can explore it together, and we could be friends— explained Torahiko with his big smile

—Mmm... friends...— he blushed as he replied that

The tiger giggled and they kept walking around the village. Torahiko tried to talk with Juuichi, but the bear dind't talk so much, and the tiger was a bit sad with that. They decided to go back to the flat, and Juuichi went to take a shower. While Torahiko was sitting on the sofa and watching Tv, someone knocked the door.
