A/n Hey everyone! I am hard at work on the next chapter and have a whole outline for where this story is going to go through season 2 of the anime. What happens after that? Well that depends on if it gets a 3rd season or not. If not I will be getting the manga and continuing the story based on that, as I do already have an idea where I want to take it and the events that occur in cannon. However as we wait for news of a 3rd season and as I am working on the remaining chapters of this story I have had a few plot bunnies that I want to make into Omake just to get them out there. This is the first and I hope you like it!

Erina and Soma, Siblings?!

Joichiro wondered why Catherine was called him up. His old friend seemed very upset about something and pleaded with him to come and help her. The two had been friends even back in their school days back at Totsuki, though she had been his junior she was still an excellent chef and had impeccable taste.

She had been present at his wedding to his late wife and the two of them got along very well. Joichiro however missed her wedding as he was traveling around so much that they couldn't track him down. She simply laughed saying "That's just like senpai."

Though that was not the only reason. The man she decided to marry just rubbed Joichiro the wrong way. To Joichiro his friend's new husband seemed like he was up to something. Almost as if he was using Catherine as a way to further his own goals. 'Hell he gave up his own last name to marrying into her family.' Joichiro thought to himself as he entered the Nakiri estate. "Been a long time since I have been here." he says to himself.

After the loss of his wife some years ago Joichiro distanced himself from a lot of his old friends like Catherine and Gin. As a way to honor her he opened a small restaurant with her last name Yukihira and took that as the family name for himself and his son Soma.

"You have been here before pops?" Soma said from just behind his father.

"Yeah. A good friend of mine lives here. I haven't seen here in a long time." Joichiro replied. Normally he would be making this trip himself but he couldn't find anyone who could watch after his son, and Soma was just a bit to young to be left alone.

Thinking back on Catherine's relationship with her husband it was always odd. While both were indeed attractive and possessing great culinary skill they seemed to never mesh well together. Hell Azami's proposal was a Shokugeki and if he won she would marry him. The only time Joichiro could remember both Catherine and Azami being happy was when they named him godfather of their daughter Erina. In fact that was the only time Azami ever wore anything close to a genuine smile.

Waiting to greet him on the porch was Catherine herself. She looked as beautiful as he had remembered her being with her honey blonde hair and regal features. The only thing that marred he beauty at the moment were the tears threatening to come streaming down her face. Immediately this got Joichiro out of his usual lazy attitude. Joichiro gave his son a look that said "Be quiet and let me handle this." Soma simply nodded as his father approached the woman.

"Cathrine? Whats going on?" He asked concerned for her.

The birth of her daughter had been exceptionally hard on her and there were complications that kept her bedridden for years. Even to this day she did not have the stamina she once did and regularly had doctor's visits and there were times when she felt faint and would be ill for a day or even weeks if it was bad.

She moved to hug her old friend. "Joichiro, I never thought he would do something like this. I knew he could be cruel but I never thought he could, he could…" She sobbed into his chest.

"Azami?" Joichiro asked his anger beginning to rise. "What did he do? Did he hurt you?"

"No, not me." Catherine sobbed "It's Erina."

Joichiro's anger was palatable now. The man they called Asura was now very angry and had only one thing on his mind. "Where is he?" he growled

Soma had never seen his father this angry before in his life. The little boy was torn as he followed his father who was lead by the pretty lady. Part of him wanted to run away in fear but another part of him was grateful the anger was not directed at him.

The pair soon came to a door in a usually unused portion of the mansion. "In here." Catherine said quietly.

Joichiro took a moment to steal and calm himself. He didn't want to do anything too rash. However as he focused he could hear what was going on in the room just beyond the door.

"Father I'm sorry. I'm sorry." A girl sobbed

An angry voice rose over the girl's sobs "I told you never to disobey me. This is your punishment!"

SMACK

With that Joichiro snapped and burst through the door to find Erina on the floor tears streaming down her face as she held a hand to her cheek that was very red from a fresh mark. The man, Azami stood over her turned to the door just in time to see the fist slam right into his face.

The man called Azura was now beyond angry he was pissed! "YOU WILL NEVER LAY A HAND ON HER!" he roared, an aura of pure rage emanating from him.

Azami was shocked. He never expected to be found out, he had thought that Catharine was too sick to come to this part of the mansion and her father was gone for the time. Or so he thought.

"What is going on here?" Senzaemon said sternly as he passed by his daughter and took in the scene of what was going on. "I got your message my daughter and came as quickly as I could. Now tell me what is going on."

"Father. The children don't need to be here for this." Catherine said wanting to get Erina away from her father as quickly as possible.

Senzaemon looked around and saw Soma by the doorway standing near his daughter. "You there boy." He said looking right at Soma. "Take Erina-chan outside to the garden for now." He said in a firm yet gentle way.

Soma looked at his father who nodded. He then approached the crying girl and gave her a little boost up to her feet. Erina was still crying as she was pulled up she looked Soma right in the eyes and he just smiled. "Let's go have some fun!" he said causing the young Nakiri to hug him tightly. After a minute she relaxed but still maintained a tight embrace on the boy's arm as he lead her out.

After the door closed Senzaemon turned to his son-in-law. "Now what was going on?"

Azami could not hid everything he had done. Joichiro investigated the room and found more evidence of his treatment of Erina. Tapes, recordings, so called lesson plans that only a sadist would imagine, Joichiro grew more disgusted as he found out the kind of person Azami was.

And so that night Azami was expelled from the Nakiri household. He was banished and his wife divorced him so he was back to being Azami Nakamura. Joichiro cooked dinner for everyone and at first Erina was scared of the man who rescued her from her father. She held onto Soma like he was her lifeline. Then when they ate she tasted the wonder that was Joichiro's cooking, not only that she could taste the passion and care that went into each dish.

As days passed Erina began to open up bit by bit but after the trauma she experienced at the hands of her father but she had a long road ahead of her. She seemed to gravitate to Soma as someone she could open up to and just be normal. For a while she would have nightmares about her father coming back to take her away. Nothing her mother of grandfather could do would calm her down as she thrashed and cried during the night. The only thing that calmed her was Soma.

Days turned to weeks and weeks into a month as the Yukihiras visits to the mansion became more and more frequent. This was until Catherine and her father offered the father and son pair a place to stay in the mansion. Joichiro was hesitant, especially because he was worried about losing the restaurant he started. Sensaemon assured the former second seat that would not be the case. So far Joichiro spent the most time in the home just above the restaurant while Soma spent his days with Erina.

As more time passed Joichiro spent more time at the Nakiri mansion and with Catherine. Soon those month turned to a year and Joichiro found himself feeling something he hadn't felt in a long time. Love. He loved Catherine back when they were young but it was the love of friends, not romantic. But spending all this time with her, with Erina, it seemed to be right like it somehow fit. They were both hurting and found comfort in eachother.

Nearly two years after the exile of Azami the two got married. Catherine decided to hyphenate her name as Catherine Nakiri-Yukihira. Soma served as the best man and Erina as the maid of honor, both were happy to see their parents getting together and making them one family. It made Joichiro's heart soar when Erina called him Otou-san after the ceremony, the same happened with Soma when he called Catherine Kaa-chan.

Soon after this the two siblings, now inseparable made their debut at Totsuki but as a famous storyteller once said, "That is a story for another day."

A/n So? What do you all think? And yes that was a Shoddycast reference there at the end. Erina's mother so far has not been reference in the and this was a little what if for Soma being Erina's life line right after what happened with her father. I know Sorina is a popular pairing so i thought what if they get together even sooner? This focused more on Joichiro and Catherine then the kids but I think it was better that way. Next chapter should be coming soon!
