Vanilla Salt: A Toradora! Fanfiction.
[A/N: I decided to write this mainly because Toradora! Is one of my favourite animes and I really want to try my hand at writing something humorous…for once. I don't have any favourite characters, so this encompasses the whole of the Toradora! pairings. Just something random that I thought of…randomness that cannot be labeled (or titled. That is why I am using the ending theme as a title. )*sweatdrops* Well, I hope that this will turn out fine!]
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Toradora! or any of its characters. Nor any part of it…

Chapter One: Strange Morning
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Takasu Ryuji woke, as usual, five minutes before his alarm clock could ring. Usually, this small 'achievement' would bring a smile to his lips, but today…nothing. He wondered what was wrong, tousling his blue-black hair, but no revelation came…
…when he was showering,
…brushing his teeth,
…or making breakfast, as usual. None of the little things that usually made him happy (for example, the perfect sunny-side up) …made him happy today. Still pondering over this, he slid open the door to the balcony, and stuck his head out.
"Oi, Aisaka!" he called out to the window opposite his as usual. When no Taiga came to the window, he yelled again. Somehow, he felt irritated.
"OI! AISAKA!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR LUNCH???"
The window finally slid open with a bang. Taiga stood there, long hair messy from sleep, expression annoyed and angry.
"I heard you the first time, BAKA INU! I want stewed beef with carrots and potatoes, and breaded fish fillet with tomato sauce squirted on top. And remember, baka inu, I want extra rice."
Through her orders, the irritation in him grew. What was with the 'baka inu'?! Did she think that just because he didn't react, he was fine with it? Arrogant girl! The fire in him flared, and before he knew it he was shouting at her. REALLY shouting.
"HEY! DO YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE I COOK FOR YOU, TAKE CARE OF YOU I'M REALLY YOUR SERVANT DOG? GET REAL! I HAVE A LIFE, YOU KNOW!"
For a moment, shock showed in Aisaka's eyes, and Ryuji was glad for what he had done. Then reality came rushing in. Did I really say that to her?! What was I thinking?!?!
Aisaka regained her composure quickly. Though she was shocked by his outburst, it did not mean that she would take this lying down.
"Baka inu. If you want to see Kushieda ever again, you have to be my slave dog for one whole year. Go down on your knees and beg for forgiveness!" Following this, the window slammed shut as abruptly as it had been opened. Ryuji, still in a daze, stared at the closed window and sweatdropped.
Huh? How'd things get this bad?

[Ending note: The next chapter will explain all of it, and Minori makes her appearance. I have to stop now because I'm tired, at 12:30 a.m….also because I overexerted both my arms while swimming today. ==" I typed one chapter before this, as well…so nights! Read and Review, please!]
