Overview:
After Elle cooked for her brother, a monster came to their house and was
totally destroying everything. The monster's not the only one causing those
commotion ….
Kyou entered Dias' apartment . "Good morning!!" Kyou greeted.
"Kyou." Dias acknowledge her as she entered his apartment. She then
saw Dias preparing breakfast and walked towards him and offered to let her do it
to which the gentleman first denied; but then agreed. After she was done
preparing for his breakfast, Kyou walked towards a pile of dirty clothes and
started washing them.
"Kyou…" Dias said. "… Have you eaten breakfast?" Dias asked
but actually, he was still unused to her cleaning his apartment and doing chores
for him. "Why don't you join me?" he added.
"I've
already eaten." She said. "Dias… don't mind me mind doing household
chores. I enjoy doing this." Kyou added and smiled at him. "You always come
up with different excuses just to make me avoid cleaning your house." Kyou
observed and giggled. "You don't have to be embarrassed with me doing these
tasks. And if you worry about the octopus restaurant, Faury, Gau, and Elle are
there. You just sit back and relax, ok."
"*
sigh * alright! Alright!" Dias said and finally accepted his defeat.
"Your
home back in Blorahan is so beautiful! So green!!"
"Umm…
that's one of the reasons why I didn't left that place even after everyone
left it."
"Why
did everyone left? Blorahan is a nice place, isn't it?"
"Yes,
it is beautiful but once a disease spread over town frightening the
residents."
"I
see… you must be very lonely there… with no one to talk to and
everything."
"Well…
it was kind of lonely but you'd get used to it sooner or later. So how are Gau
and Elle?" Dias asked her this time.
"They've
been training quite hard every night. Always sparring… Gau always gets beaten
up by her.." Kyou said solemnly. "I just can't believe Elle!! I mean how
can she do such a thing to him!! Gau always comes home with bruises and stuff. I
mean, I won't be surprised someday when they come home and Gau's dead!!"
Kyou said angrily which amused Dias as she went on.
"She
must really like Gau that much. Lucky Gau." Dias thought to himself. "You
must really be mad with Elle. But you must also understand that what they are
doing is just part of training. It is one of a few stepping stones to become a
cevalle. And you don't have to worry about Gau dying… cause he won't."
Dias said to her and smiled slightly and thought to himself, "I can feel
jealousy sparking between her and Elle hehehe…"
After
Kyou finished the laundry, she started preparing for lunch. Then a knock was
heard and she saw Elle entered the room.
"Elle?"
Dias and Kyou gave her a questioning look.
"Weelll…
I thought that I should come here and help out as well… I mean… you
know…." She tried to explain. "Well… let me make lunch for you guys
then."
"Oooooohhhhhh……"
Dias said and tried to smile. "So, your cooking must be improving a lot
hmmm?"
"Well…
I suppose so… but I haven't cooked again…"
"Since….
When…?" Dias brows furrowed as he remembered his home back in Blorahan.
"Ever
since I left Blorahan to train myself." Elle replied and started chopping
vegetables unevenly.
"
* sweatdrop * oh boy… am I going to die right now? How amusing….. * bigger
sweatdrop * the valle Black Wing died of food poisoning….* groan * * sigh *"
was all Dias can do as he remembered the first time Elle tried to cook food for
them back in Blorahan. How can he forget that? Elle almost killed them.
*
flashback *
He
watched Elle as she chops the vegetables without even washing or at least
removing the skin of the carrots, potatoes, eggplants…. * sweatdrop *. His
only hope is that her cooking's taste will be better that what it looks like.
But he doubted it as he saw her poured the whole bottle of seasonings, wine, oil
and a lot more stuff into the pot of soup * eyes bulging out *. Great… a whole
month supply… all finished in just one day!! * sigh * he tuned and walked out
of the kitchen afraid to watch it anymore. He just sank in his chair and started
reminiscing as he thought that, that was his last day in the living world.
*
end of flashback *
Just
imagining it sent shivers down his spine. He thought of going out to avoid her
cooking but decided against it, hoping that Elle's cooking improved even a
little. But as he watched…. He just sank in his chair mourning for his own
death.
Finally,
Elle was done with her cooking and she set the tables. Dias saw her cooking but
didn't attempt to eat it yet. "What's this?" Dias asked. He remembered
exactly what that was but hoped that it wasn't what he thought it was.
"Well…
I haven't tried cooking other meals so… that's what I used to cook for us
back in Blorahan."
Just
as he feared…. The looks of the dish hasn't changed over the past years and
remembering how it tastes… just remembering gave him a head splitting headache
and his stomach started to turn upside-down. Just then, Kyou entered the room
and placed a much more delightful looking dish.
"I
cooked some more since there are three of us." Kyou explained and thought,
"Actually, seeing how she cooked,
I'm afraid to even try it * sweatdrop *. And seeing Dias' face… I don't
think I'm going to try it. No, it's not I don't think… I will definitely
NOT eat it!"
Dias
looked at her with thankful eyes and thought, "I'm not going to die yet… I
just can't accept the fact that I'll be dying a useless man. It's a good
thing Kyou is here."
"Well…
let's eat!" Elle cried and sat down. Dias served a few of Elle's own
cooking and gave it to Elle first. The two watched as Elle ate her own cooking.
Elle's reactions confirmed what they feared.
"Tastes
like?" Dias asked.
"A
pile of shit!!" Elle replied and ran to the sink and vomited. Dias picked
Elle's cooking and threw it out before they all lose their appetite just
seeing the sight of it. And so, Dias' life was prolonged thanks to Kyou's
fast thinking.
While
they enjoyed Kyou's cooking, outside Dias' apartment, a shadow was creeping
around. The movement of the creature shows that he was looking for something.
The creature then stopped in front of Dias' door but moved again, quickly and
headed towards a nearby bush. Sniffing around, the creature saw a dumped food.
He sniffed on it, hesitated on touching it but hunger got the best of him, thus
gobbled on it like there was no tomorrow. But before he can even take his second
bite, he swooned and dropped dead. The poor creature, he should have trusted his
senses and just left the forsaken food all alone. At the same moment, the front
door opened and Elle walked out of Dias' house. She then took notice of the
young puppy lying on the grass almost half dead.
"Brother,
Kyou, come and look at this poor puppy. It must really be hungry." Elle called
back. Dias and Kyou came out of the house and saw the poor puppy. Kyou picked it
up leaving the two siblings behind.
"Well…
why don't you just come back in." Dias offered but Elle refused saying that
she has to go somewhere else and she is quite late already. Well, that's Elle
for you.
Inside,
Kyou took care of the poor puppy.
"I
wonder what's wrong with him. He doesn't seem to be injured but he does look
hungry." Kyou said as Dias entered the room.
"I
think I know what's wrong with him. He seemed to have eaten Elle's
cooking." Dias explained intelligently.
"Huh?"
"Actually,
I placed the food Elle cooked behind the bushes. The poor pup must be so hungry
and ate it. He just doesn't know how toxic Elle's cuisine is."
"WHAT???!!!
The poor pup!! Will he survive??"
"Well,
we still have some food left, right?" to which Kyou nodded in acknowledgement.
"And go get some water too."
So,
the two took care of the pup and Kyou gave him the name, Ken-ken.
Another
week passed, the pup was getting better and better and was already running
around the house and messing things up. To which always gave Dias a terrible
headache as he chased after Ken-ken around the house and fixing the mess only to
be messed up by the adorable pup. Finally, Dias got really frustrated and….
"I
am undefeatable, there is no one who can defeat my Shadow Skill. My one single
blow is invisible! RAPIER!!!" The pup just stared at him with those big puppy
eyes. "Don't you give me that puppy eyes of yours!! Cause it's no longer
gonna work!!!" suddenly the door opened which made Dias stop his raging rapier
from reaching its final destination.
"Good
morning!!!" Kyou greeted Dias and turned towards Ken-ken's direction.
"Still giving you a headache?"
"Uh-huh!"
"This
pup sure is messing things up! Why don't we tie him up?" Kyou suggested.
"I
did but he just ripped the rope. I haven't got the time to buy a chain for
him." He said and added silently, "but I sure would like to CHAIN SAW
HIM!!"
"Well..
I'll just clean things up and start cooking lunch."
"Well,
I'll go out and train myself first and maybe I can pass by the market and get
a chain for him." He then went to his room to get his black wing, where he
kept it in a much safer place to avoid Ken-ken from nibbling on it. "I'm
going now!"
"Well,
Ken-ken, you behave now!!" Kyou told Ken-ken as she started cleaning the mess.
Five
minutes later, crashing and banging were heard from inside the apartment.
"Ken-ken!!!
Come back!! Give that meat back to me!! That's our LUNCH!!! Hey!!! Stop
nibbling on it!!! Arrrgggghhhh!!! You just drooled on it!!! Give it back!!!!
HEY!!!" Kyou then took a mallet out of nowhere and started her pursuit again,
slamming the mallet whenever she's close to the pup but always missing. She
then got so irritated and threw the mallet at him, just then the door opened and
Gau entered the room.
"Good
mor…." Gau didn't even finish his greeting as he saw a mallet flying by in
front of him * eyes growing big as watermelon * and narrowly missing Ken-ken. He
then gave Kyou a questioning look.
"That
dog got our lunch!!!" Kyou said panting. "Arrrggghhhh!!! No wonder Dias was
trying to kill him a moment ago!!"
"What?
Dias?? Killing a cute little pup? No way!!"
"You
weren't there!! How would you know!! He even used martial language!! You just
don't know what a pest that pup is!! Arrrgghhh!!! Come back!! Gau! Get
him!!"
An
hour later, Dias was on his way home. He passed by the market and found a chain
for his cute pet. On his way, he met Crimson and Scarface.
"Nice
day for a walk." Scarface said. "What brings you here?"
"I
was practicing." Dias replied.
"I
suppose you were practicing with that chain?" Scarface teased. "Got bored
with your black wing?"
"No..
this chain is for… YOU!!!" Dias cried and chased Scarface around town
carrying both his black wing and the chain. "I'm going to tie you with this
chain!!!" he cried and continued chasing him. Crimson just sighed, "How
childish", and went on his way leaving the two kids behind.
Crimson
then passed by Dias' apartment and heard noises coming from inside. He
wondered if there was a thief or a spy, maybe, since he can still see the two
children running around town. He doesn't need to feel it, it's very visible.
The town would be covered with dust if those children kept on with their
juvenile game but that didn't bother him at all. What bothers him is that
someone's inside Dias' house. He entered the house cautiously but instead of
shocking the intruder, he was the one taken aback at the sight he saw. The house
was such a mess. He knows Black Wing is quite a meticulous person. So he moved
towards the kitchen to see who the intruders are.
He
then saw Kyou and Gau chasing a dog around the house.
"Great!!
I thought I left the only children
I know outside!! * sigh *" just then, the dog came running towards him.
"Demon
beast catching technique… TOMOE!!!!" Kyou cried and threw her chulinks
towards Ken-ken but missed the puppy totally. Her chulinks almost caught Crimson
but his sevalle skills worked on him and he completely dodged it. "Master
Crimson!!!" Kyou and Gau cried in horror. "I didn't mean to throw those
chulinks at you!! It was meant for the puppy you saw running like a monster!!"
Kyou tried to explain her actions.
"It's
alright! What's happening here? What's with the dog?"
"Well..
he took our lunch and he kept on messing things up!! So…" Gau explained
since Kyou is no longer capable to do so. She was just starring at Crimson with
adoring eyes.
"Kyou!
I'm…….. back………." Dias said and stared at his topsy-turvy
apartment.
"Your
house…. It's so messy!! What's with you??" asked Scarface, he too, knows
how neat Dias is with his things.
Dias
searched the room and found the culprit nibbling on the meat Kyou bought for
their lunch. "Kyou, why is that pup nibbling on our lunch?"
"Well…
he was messing around the kitchen and got a hold of it. I tried chasing him to
get it back but…."
"Even
if you get this meat back… who'd want to eat it?" Scarface said and looked
at the pup munching away, happily.
"Well…
I guess we have to go out for lunch!" Dias said and scratched his head.
"Why
don't we all head for Octopus restaurant then." Crimson said and went out of
the door. Scarface followed leaving the three behind.
"What
are we going to do with him?" asked Gau.
"I
guess we'll just leave him here. He might destroy the shop." Dias said and
left the house completely forgetting the chain he bought.
A
loud * CRASH!!! * was heard from inside…. Dias turned back and went inside the
house… * crash * …. * chase chase * …. And he finally caught Ken-ken and
tied him using the chain he purchased…. Came out of the house with the little
monster and gave the chain to Gau.
The
little monster behaved himself a little. This time he only ran circles around
Gau thus, tying him with his chain. The little ogre then ran, completely
dragging Gau. The two reached the boat first and the pup sat waiting for the
others while Gau tried to escape.
On
their way, the troll behaved himself. Really, this time he just sat inside the
boat. When they reached the island, they went inside the shop and took a seat.
Gau and Kyou went inside to help out. Elle reached their table and she was
shocked to see her brother with Crimson and Scarface. Her brother usually stays
home to eat but this time… She noticed that the three guys were starring at
with smiles on their faces.
"What?"
Elle asked and rubbed on her face thinking that there must be something sticking
there.
"Huh?
Oh! Nothing really! I just couldn't imagine you wearing a dress anymore. Looks
good on you." Dias smiled at her and contained a laugh.
"I
agree…" said Crimson and smiled at her too also… suppressing a chuckle.
"I
second demotion." Said Scarface and he too smiled and tried to hide his
snicker.
"TOLD
YOU IT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU!!!!" cried Feorina, Gau, Kyou, and Faury
simultaneously. "HAHAHAHAHAHA….!!" Laughed ALL the people concurrently.
"Yeah!
yeah! yeah! * mumble grumble *" and Elle waited for the laughter to die down
and took her brother and the two sevalle's order.
By
midnight, the shop had already closed but the two sevalle and Black Wing were
still there drinking wine to their content. Soon, the staff of the shop except
Feorina, who slept as soon as the shop closed, joined them. The teens excluding
Elle got drunk. By the next day, work was impossible for Gau and Kyou who were
all having a hangover. Feorina then requested for the two sevalles and Black
Wing to help them. Doing nothing for the day, the three agreed. They removed
their cloaks and started with the day's work.
"It's
so amazing that, that mutt have been behaving since the boat ride." Dias said
and watched the mutt sleep.
Soon
the shop was open and customers came rushing in. Feorina asked one of them to
help her in the kitchen since the customers today are just so many and she
can't handle it alone. She should have asked for Elle to buy the ingredients
instead of sending Faury. Now, she just hoped that one of the guys could cook.
"Ok!!
I'll help!!!" cried Elle.
Dias and Feorina both looked pale when Elle offered her hand in the
kitchen. Just then, she remembered that there should be a delivery on the next
island.
"Elle, I think you should go and deliver this to Mr. Sen." Feorina
said and laughed nervously.
"But… what about…"
"I'll go and help in the kitchen." Dias volunteered and went
inside the kitchen.
"Ok!"
"Dias can cook?" Crimson asked Elle.
"Yes!! his cooking are the best!!" cried Elle
"Now that's something!" Scarface said.
"Well, I'm going now!"
Inside the kitchen, Feorina handed an apron to Dias.
"I'm sorry Dias, but there are no other apron. All are like this."
Feorina said.
"Oh! Oh well… we can't do anything about that." Dias said and
wore the apron looked at himself and sighed. He just started chopping the
ingredients and cooked it expertly.
"One octopus specialty!!" Crimson cried.
"Make that two!" called Scarface.
The two guys peeped inside the kitchen and saw Dias cooking.
"Hey! Dias! That's a cute looking apron you're wearing!!
Hehehe…" teased Scarface.
"What's with the laces?" asked Crimson.
" * sigh * shuddup!"
"Really now!! You two stop that!! I know you are sevalles but please
stop teasing our chef." Defended Feorina. "We don't have any other aprons.
All are like that! Hmmm… maybe you two need one too… I'll go and get
some!!" Feorina cried and ran towards the storehouse.
"Aaahhh…. No no no we sure don't need one!!!" the two sevalles
cried but Feorina was already out of earshot. "…. Great…… * sigh *"
"Well…. That's that!! Here's the two octopus specialty."
At the same moment, Foerina returned with two aprons and handed them to
the sevalles who first objected but could do nothing.
"Great!! I don't like this!!" mumbled the two as they looked at
their images.
A few moments later, Elle and Faury returned and saw the two sevalle
wearing cute aprons.
"What's with the apron?" Teased Elle while Faury stifled a laugh.
"Here's the fried dumplings!" cried Dias and saw Elle looked at
him and started laughing hysterically. Faury couldn't just help it and laughed
out loud! The commotion woke the two guys and they both went down to check on it
only to see the three guys wearing lacey aprons. To think those three guys were
feared warriors of Kuruda and one said to be the most powerful in all of
Kuruda's 2000 year history. The two first couldn't believe what they're
seeing and rubbed on their eyes but… life's like that!
"That apron sure looks good on you!" cried Kyou.
"Mwaahahahahahaha!!!!" the crowd laughed.
"Hey!! I thought you're not feeling well!!" Dias said to the two
sick people and both rushed up back to their quarters. "What a day!" Dias
mumbled. "Well, at least I'm not alone."
A week had passed since the apron incident. The three lacey-aproned guys
left the next day since Gau and Kyou are better already. Dias went back to his
apartment and fixed the mess the little imp has left. At least the pup has been
behaving better these days. Dias even trains the dog when he has nothing to do
and when he's done with his training. Amazingly, Ken-ken learns quickly. After
teaching him for a week, he learned all dog tricks. Dias started teaching him
other tricks, like doing Shadow Skill moves and to his amazement the pup also
learned it.
After their lessons that day, Scarface entered his house and started
teasing the mutt not knowing its special talent. Ken-ken not really getting
irritated but felt like having fun started chain-sawing him. Scarface, although
shocked was able to dodge it.
"What the hell!!! What's gotten into you? Why are you teaching your
dog Shadow Skill!!! You know this mutt goes crazy and ruin things up. Even
without his Shadow Skill, he causes a big disaster!!" he said while trying to
avoid the dog's sword. Having avoided all Ken-ken's attacks, the mutt just
resumed with his old ways. "Now, that his done doing Shadow skill, he's
munching on my shoe!!"
Just then, Elle entered the house with Kyou. "Good morning!! Let me
cook breakfast for you two!!" cried Elle.
"What?" said Dias weakly and looked at Kyou. Ken-ken hearing
Elle's going to cook ran and hid himself completely. While Scarface became
stiff like a rock.
"It's alright, she learned how to cook eggs. Faury taught her."
Kyou assured them.
"Oh I see." Said the two and relaxed. Ken-ken, however, doesn't
believe her words and stayed at his hiding place.
Just then, a loud * BOOM!!!!!!! * was heard from the kitchen. Elle came
out coughing.
"What….. happened…..?" Dias asked and looked at his burning
kitchen. "Does she know how to use the stove?" Dias asked Kyou who just
shrugged.
"Hehehe… I forgot to turn the gas off! Silly me! Hehehe… but the
eggs are cooked… here….. try some… hehehe…"
All of them looked at her cooking and saw that, it does look like eggs.
Ken-ken already at the front, mouth watering but before they can even eat,
another blast was heard.
"We better get out, this house is crumbling!" Dias said and took
some of his belongings.
Outside, they watched Dias' apartment burn to the grounds as they ate
Elle's cuisine. The eggs she cooked…. Tasted like…. eggs!!! WOW!!
Elle knowing Dias have nowhere else to stay for the day asked him to
stay in the Octopus restaurant. Dias disagreed with that idea, as he remembered
what happened last week. But Elle said that, he doesn't need to worry since
every staffs are feeling well. So, off they went to the shop.
A week passed and Dias is still staying with them at the shop. He even
volunteered to cook for them. Whoa!!! Hearing this news, Scarface and Crimson
went to check it out. They peeped inside the kitchen and found Dias there,
cooking with an apron…… without the lace. J
