A/N: I'm revising the whole story so here's chapter one. Enjoy.

The Cookbook

3:00AM

Tsukasa walked the familiar path to the bathroom, a path she knows backward and forward with her eyes closed. This time though, she saw something odd; a lit room with the door cracked. "Matsuri?" She called. No one answered.

"Inori? Is anyone here?"The room remained silent. Tsukasa looked around finding the room empty except for a small table in the corner.

"What's this?" she saw a book on the table Cookbook for the Unorthodox. When she picked it up she noticed immediately that the book was much heavier than it looked. It had a metal hardcover and small scorch marks littered the cover and its contents. Tsukasa's urge to use the bathroom returned with a vengeance she ran to the bathroom without realizing she still had the book.

3:15AM

She walked out of the restroom, shaking uncontrollably, Tsukasa had looked over the book; it detailed and illustrated how to create and use explosives, fuels, excelerants, all of which made from everyday household objects and ingredients. Tsukasa returned to the empty room to put the book back where she found it but found herself unable to let go. As much as she wanted to put the book down and walk away like she never saw it, It interested her too much for her comfort and safety, so she quietly ran back to her room, book in hand. She thought to herself. Where could I hide this. After she tried to hide it in under her bed, inside a pillow, and in her closet; she decided the safest place for it was in inside a stuffed animal. She looked around the room and a bear with a green hat. "Sorry," she undid its stitching and stuffed the book inside. The bear change shape slightly but not obviously. With the book now hidden Tsukasa went to bed.

Morning

Tsukasa woke up full of energy, excited to try a 'recipe'. She locked her bedroom door and took out the book. She looked at the table-of-contents, searching for a safer recipe for her first attempt. Tsukasa ran her finger down the column and spotted smoke bomb next to a particularly dark scorch mark. It called for simple ingredients and had a low risk of serious injury. She pondered the list of ingredients. They're so easy to get, in fact most of them are in the kitchen. She grabbed her backpack and emptied its contents onto her bed. She considered them for a moment, considered destroying some of her old test scores, she pushed thought from her head.

"I can't do that. At least... not yet anyways," she mumbled to herself as she walked to the kitchen.

Fortunately for Tsukasa, everyone was out on errands, but she couldn't count on them being gone all day so she moved quickly. She grabbed a small, seldom-used pan along with some other items and than went out to the backyard.

"Now where did dad keep that stuff... oh yeah now I remember," she filled a bag with what she needed and went back inside. She heard someone at the front door and quickly stuffed her materials into the bag as Kagami walked in.

"Hey Tsukasa, where are you off to?"

Tsukasa panicked for a moment. " I was going to do some exercise at the park."

"Okay, be careful out there." They parted ways. Kagami feeling self-conscious mumbled under her breathe, "I need some exercise."

She found a place near the shrine, next to a small stream. I don't think anyone will spot me here. Tsukasa took this time to read over the recipe carefully.

"Simple," she said to herself. She dug a small hole and started a small fire in it. Tsukasa let the pan warm up while she prepared the necessary ingredients. She mixed the ingredients diligently thinking smoke bombs are so easy to make. In minute she had a small collection of gray globs each a different size and weight. Time to try one and see if it works. She dug another small hole in the ground for the smoke bomb. She lit the smoke bomb with a match and than ran away, fast.Seconds later a thick plume of smoke rose from the hole. Tsukasa's heart soared at her first success but she quickly realized she had to stop the smoke before someone noticed. The lilac-haired girl threw a clod of dirt of dirt in the hole but the smoke still rose so she grabbed it and tossed it into the stream. Tsukasa let out a sigh that was close. Before she went back home she used the rest of her materials and ended up with thirty-five bombs.

Afternoon

She walked upstairs to find that Kagami invited Ayano and Misao over for a study session. Tsukasa acknowledged them before going to her own room to 'study'. Tsukasa sat on the edge of her bed about to read about fuses when Kagami knocked on the door. Tsukasa tossed the book under her bed before answering.

"Hello,"she answered.

"Hey, do you want to study with us?" her sister asked.

"Hm." She put a finger to her mouth, "Okay. Let me get my books."

All Tsukasa wanted to study was the cookbook so she grabbed a dark book cover off her desk. Reality hit her again, Tsukasa but her hands on her face, she needed to find a hiding place for the smoke bombs. She panicked for a moment. Where can I hide these. She panicked more. What will I do if Sis finds out? The mere thought of her sister's rage terrified her into inspiration. Tsukasa remembered where she hid the book and opened a few more stuffed animals. "I'm sorry," she said to each one before opened it and stuffed smoke bombs in them. Tsukasa felt better after hiding her new hobby. Than she went to her sister's room to study.

"Hello Hiiragi's sister," Misao boomed. Ayano nodded in her direction.

"Call me Tsukasa," Tsukasa thought to herself how could you not know my name.

"Okay Tsukasa," the fanged girl boomed again.

"If you need help just let us know," Kagami said to her sister.

"What about me?" Misao complained.

"What about you? All of your stuff is still in your bag."

"I was gonna get it out," the fanged girl pouted. Tsukasa ignored their squabble and read her book, making occasional notes on a piece of paper.

Forty minutes later

Kagami stood up, "I'm gonna go get some snacks. Anyone want some."

Misao and Ayano raised a hand. Tsukasa, too absorbed into the book didn't hear.

"Tsukasa... Tsukasa..." Misao poked her.

"Huh, what? What did I miss?"

"Did you want anything from the kitchen?"

"Oh, just water."

"Okay I''ll be back. Misao..."

"Yeah..."

"Do something productive."

Misao made a face and Ayano snickered at the comment.

"What are you reading?" Misao poke at Tsukasa.

Tsukasa's eyes went wide. She looked around the room for an excuse.

"Nothing."

"Aw, did you see that, now both the Hiiragis are mean to me." Ayano gave the hurt girl a reassuring smile. Misao's pacifier returned with drinks.

Tsukasa stared intently at her glass of water. The chapter she read explained how water could decrease explosive power. She started to doze a bit and stuck her hand into the cup.

"What are you doing?" Misao poked. Tsukasa, now embarrassed slowly pulled her hand out of the cup.

"Uh... nothing."

"There you go again with nothing. Why doesn't anyone tell me anything."

"I was just thinking about something."

Kagami and Misao gave her a puzzled look "What about?" they said in unison. Absentmindedly Tsukasa said, "Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine."

"Oi... come again." The three girls stared at Tsukasa thoroughly confused.

Still not realizing what she was saying, Tsukasa said, "Cyclonite, Hexogen."

"I still don't understand."

Tsukasa said still not payng attention to her words, "RDX"

"One more time."

"A type of explosive," Tsukasa said nearly yelling it. Silence filled the room like a bad stench.

"A what?" Kagami asked cautiously.

"Nothing," Finally realizing what she said Tsukasa bolted out of Kagami's room and into her own room. She locked the door behind her and threw the book at a wall. Tsukasa went to bed even though the sun hadn't even set yet.

Hours later

Kagami knocked on her sister's door.

"Are you awake. She heard some shuffling and than the door unlock.

"Hey, sis."

"Why did you run off like that? Here's dinner in-case you're hungry."

"Thanks," she took the food, "I ran because I was scared."

"I can see why, but why were you thinking about that sort of thing."

"I picked up a book, thinking it was one thing only when I opened it, it was an entirely different book," Tsukasa lied through her teeth.

"Oh , I see but then why did you read it."

"I really don't know."

"Do you still have the book?"

Tsukasa shook her head, "No," she lied again.

"Are you sure? I'm not gonna hear that you're in the hospital or something, am I?"

Tsukasa shook her head again.

"Okay than. I just wanted to check up on you. I'll be in my room if you need me," and with that she left the room. Tsukasa felt bad for lying to her sister but she was terrified of the other possibilities.

What am I going do? If I try to keep this up some will catch on. But I can't stop now, I just started. Ugh what should I do? She stood at a crossroad: forget about the book or continue cooking with the possibility of getting caught or worse. She decided to sleep on it.

A/N: I mostly just made this chapter easier to read. Hope you all like this version a bit more
