Title: Storge

Summary: or Familial Love. Because there are few things a Yukihira wouldn't do for family. A series of vignettes.

Note 1

In Which a Yukihira Does Not Spontaneously Leave the Family for the Vine

"Papa!" Yukihira Tamako stormed inside their house, a hurricane of emotions going inside her, but the main one was the thunder of anger.

Her father was in the living room with her little brother. There were bags packed.

"What was with that text? What do you mean you're closing up the shop?" She screeched.

"My darling daughter," her dad said. "You have your dear father's beauty and your mother's delicate looks but you are a banshee through and through."

Souma snickered. She glared at him, menacingly stepping forward. He shut his trap. She returned her glare to her father's.

Their dad said, "I'm planning on traveling a bit; look for work abroad and all."

"And you're just leaving us!" She screamed. "Do you have any idea how much travelling is going to cost? Souma's entering high school. I'm in my final year. My savings won't let two high school kids survive!"

He puffed, "Don't underestimate your old man. I'm not going to leave my babies in poverty. I'll leave money for you to get by."

She calmed a bit at that. "Why are you leaving all of a sudden, dad? You haven't gone on your 'hermit around the world' in years." Not since mom died.

The unspoken word passed the three.

He just shrugged. "Felt like it," said as if he wasn't leaving two minors to live on their own.

"Besides, nee-san, I won't go to your high school." Souma said. He didn't sound quite as pleased.

"Excuse you." She turned, eyes wide. "And what school are you going?"

"Some private school." He said.

Dad snorted a laugh, "'Some' school. It's the best school for cooking out there, you know. They develop their students to progress since middle school. Only the top tier gets in."

"And how is Sou-chan supposed to go there when we can't pay?" She gritted her teeth. "What about his allowance?"

The only reason she could actually stay in the semi-private school she goes to was thanks to her scholarship as a varsity player. If it was as fancy as her father makes it out to be, then how were they going to pay?

"I have connections." He just waved off her concerns. "Besides, if your brother even passes the entrance exams, he'll likely won't even survive long. He'll transfer back to your school." He stood and left, laughing loudly.

The Yukihira siblings were famous for two things in their district. First was for their odd colorings. Second was their complete loyalty to each other. It didn't matter the fact that they fought. If anyone hurt one, the other is there to fight back.

Yukihira Tamako had no interest in food apart from eating it. But, as she glared at the way her father left, she made a decision.

"Sou-chan," she said, deceptively calm. "You will pass that exam and you will show our old man what you can do. And damn, Sou-chan, you are amazing. I don't care what we have to do but we will make that old man eat his words.

"Aa." Souma said, fire in his eyes.

Notes: There are OCs here. I'm afraid the Yukihira sister may be a main character, so please bear with my OC. I hope she's not so Mary Sue. You know what, fuck that. Yukihira Tamako, fondly called by her dad as Tamago, loves eating. She doesn't have a 'God's Tongue', for the record, but she does adore eating and do know how to properly critique them. She's been her father's taste-tester for years. But the thing is, Tamago doesn't like cooking. It's too much work for her. She does know how, her expertise going more on sweets and pastries. She's a third year and she's a math lover who works on the business side of the restaurant. Please continue reading. I'll likely publish the next part in a couple of days. I'm reading the manga soon.
