The Cake (But More Importantly, the Batter): Neji & Choji
Neji, who was still exhausted, was relieved to find that his only job was to bake a cake. Since Hinata was the only other cook in his house and she lived with her sensei, Kurenai now, he was left to cook for Hiashi and Hanabi. Before he could return to his house, he had to wait for Choji, who would be helping with the cake. Neji considered just leaving him there, but he decided that an extra pair of hands would be helpful.
Choji was excited at the thought of cake, and ran over to Neji. "So, what kind of cake are we making??"
"Whichever mix I happen to have in my cupboard at the moment," Neji started walking toward his mansion, explaining as he went along, "I won't need any help cooking, but I figured you could stir the bowl and get ingredients, right?"
"Sure! Do I get to lick the bowl afterward??" Choji pleaded.
"NO! That's disgusting!"
"Please?"
"No."
"PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP??"
"…Maybe the spoon. But only maybe!" Choji smiled in triumph. By now, they found themselves at the front porch of the Hyuga Mansion. Neji showed Choji to the kitchen, which was completely spotless, and practically shined with sanitation.
Choji gaped at the sparkling white room. "Wow! This is the cleanest kitchen I've ever seen! Do you even cook in here??"
"Of course! I just like being neat and tidy," Neji rummaged through the nearby cabinet and found what he was looking for. "Good, I have just enough mix for one triple-chocolate cake. Choji, pass me the bowls from the cabinet under the counter over there." Choji did as he was told, and Neji got to work.
