A/N Hello there fellow fanfictioners (Yeah I know it's sounds like shit x( ). As I promised here's chapter 2. Smut in the next one garanteed (Actually half of the next one will be containing SMUT. I'll make it done 'til Friday). Story will be going differently from original (As I said in previous chapter) So, now is the time for Megumi to show what she really capable off. Will new golden age of Polar Star dorm begin? We shall see. Enjoy
Disclaimer:I do not own Shokugeki no Soma. They belong to their respectful and great authors (Forgot their names XD)
'Tadokoro,you're a great chef. Just cook what you think you should' That's what he thought that day. His heart was beating so hard that it felt like it was about to burst out of him. Soma was woried about her, if she wouldn't win that day, Megumi would be totally crashed, but Soma couldn't even imagine that the person who he saw as an innocent sheep would become a beast of his level that day.
Megumi was making her way to the arena trough the corridor. God,every idiot could see that she was worried. Even after 'motivation speach' of Soma,well...It didn't gave much effect. Her body,completely from her forehead to her foots was shaking and sweating like crazy. 'Where is that Megumi who managed to gain 93 points in her group?' Soma wondered.
(I want to remind you, that this story is kind of AU so events are different.)
Shouts of indignation were heard all over the stands of arena. Everyone were already burying Megumi on the cemetry of lossers,only Polar Star dorm cheer team were supporting her,but on the background of moral oppression, it wasn't much of a help.
Kurokiba slowly made his way up to the stage,suprisingly without escort of his 'owner' Alice, that was just beaten by Soma-kun. He was calm,cold,emotionless as always. But he was like that only when his bandage was tightly tied on his hand. His "Berserker" mode was way more frightening. His knifes were all sorted, nicely washed and sharpened,while Megumi already managed to drop few knifes on the floor.
'God,please help her.I've done everything I could. At least I hope for that.'
'Megumi what happend to you? Could it be...'
*Flashback*
*Thought* Few weeks ago Megumi was second place in her group and today...She looks helpless. Soma noticed that something strange was going on inside her, not on physical but on psychological level. Soma felt like a fool after that day, when he was too afraid to ask her...Why?
'Oh man, it feels good to be on the first place.' Soma thought to himself. As he was walking upstairs to his room, Soma was quietly singing his 'hope song' (Intro song from anime. I freaking love that one XD). Before Soma could open door of his room, sound which was coming from Megumi's room atracted his attention. Soma could clearly hear a sound of a girl sob. Also that she was talking with someone by mobile phone. Soma were boiling with wish to knock into her door and ask what happened, but something was holding him back.
"*Sob* When?" Megumi hardly managed to spell one single word.
Soma was at loss. 'What should I do?' He wondered.
For some minutes she was just sobing without saying anything. Soma was standing frozen in front of her doors. Both his heart and blood stream stopped.
"*Short sob* I'll come after prelimenaries." Megumi finished and throwed her phone on the floor.
Like an idiot he decided to stay out of this,but the time would come and he had to ask her. There were no doubt about that. Instead of showing her, his support , his care , he foolishly stayed out of it.
*End of Flashback*
His mind was screaming only one thing to him: 'Idiot!'. It was partly his fault and Soma knew that. Guilt started to sink out of him. Slowly and painfuly. He punched his fist against the wall as hard as he could, so that he could strangle that pain in his soul, but it didn't helped at all.
"Sorry Megumi, sorry." Soma quietly whispered
Both Kurokiba and Megumi were prepared for that what was about to happened, Soma could only spectate after Megumi and feel bad for her.
"Contestants! Welcome and congratulations with making it into quarter-finals." Familiar voice shouted into microphone. Everybody tried to find source of that voice, but it doesn't seemed, that 'source' was inside the building.
Familiar peson appeared from the shadow. Gin Dojima to be exact.
"We will now, spectate and judge this great match, which will determine the fate of this chefs."
"Chefs! Today's theme is Ramen. Your cooking time limit is 2 hours. You may start from...Now!" Dojima shouted.
Both Megumi and Kurokiba rushed to their cooking stations. Ingridients were choped,skined,washed,boiled and every imaginable actions were performed.
Soma was thinking how he could help her. After screwing up so badly, his thinking potential wasn't that big.
And then idea poped up in his mind. He immediately ran to the waiting room. Soma took some paper and pen and started to write his message. After he was done, he folded paper into the 'plane' shape and now rushed to the stands.
Meanwhile, Megumi was looking really bad on stage. It looked like she didn't even tried to win this one.
'What's wrong with her?' 'I guess she really is a loser' Whispers like that could be heard by cheer team of Polar Star dorm.
'Hold on, Megumi. You can do that again..Right?' Yuki thought to herself
"Guys!" Familiar voice atracted attention of cheer group.
"Yukihira-kun? Where have y-" She was interupted by him.
"I'll explain later!" Soma shouted and came closer to the edge of the tribune which were protected by fence.
Soma aimed his paper plane and was ready to throw it right on the table of Megumi's cooking station.
"Please,please make it in time." Soma begged before he made a throw.
Plane were unstable and unpredictible. Shout of viewers were enough to shake it's hole construction. Still like in some kind of fairytale it actually reached it's destination.
"Yeah!" Soma exclaimed happily.
Megumi immediately spoted paper plane and was surprised by it. She rushed to it grabbed,but still didn't knew what to do with it.
Dojima-senpai saw that Megumi grabbed something strange, so he approached her personally to check what was that.
"Contestant Tadokoro, what's that you're holding?" Dojima-senpai asked curiosly in his ussual serious tone.
"Eeh...I think that's a letter. May I read it?" Megumi quietly asked.
"That's not restricted, but remember that your time is limited" Dojima-senpai finished his sentence and went back to his judge sit.
"Y-yes" Megumi answered with her now, ussual quite tone.
Megumi rushed back to the paper plane and arched it back to it's normal paper shape. She started to read it.
'Dear Tadokoro, I'm not sure what's bothering you or who/what did you lost.
Because of that I feel stupid and helpless. Also I forgot to tell you something important.
Few day ago I, heard you sobing and talking with someone on your mobile telephone.
I feel very sorry for not helping you at that moment. At the moment when you needed it the most.
At age of 11 I lost my mother. God, I loved her so much.
After she died, I stopped cooking for a few months and all strength of my wish for cooking were lost.
It took me some time, to realize that it actually happened and that she's not with me anymore.
Everyday, I used to wake up and cook breakfast for her, come from school and make her lunch and before going to bed I was making her a diner.
After she died I didn't had anyone to cook for. Well, I had dad but he was 1-st rate chef so it wasn't much of a help.
When I was 9 my dad told very interesting thing.
"Soma, secret of cooking is to find someone who you would like to cook for."
"That's how you became such a great chef?" Little Soma asked his dad.
" *Laugh* Well,you can say so"
And even now, when I'm cooking, I always try to imagine that, I'm cooking for my she'll come and have a not of it. Even though I know it's never going to happen 'cause she's not with me anymore.
What I'm trying to say is: Even after you lost that 'source' of cooking you should still believe in it.
Good luck.
- Soma'
