Alrighty, so I missed yesterday because I had some stuff to do. I had stuff written down like ideas, so today I'm throwing all the ideas down into a collected series of words called a chapter! My band is going to London next year for the LNYDP (London New Year's Day Parade), so I'll be going over there next year. A happy person I am.

Remember I'm always open for ideas and suggestions, requests or other things, just PM me or leave a review with your suggestion!

Anyhow, ON TO THE STORY! .

Last time on Love Potion: Issei is worried that he might be good at cooking, taking away his last few shreds of manliness. Time to experience the tale!

Chapter 6:

"Noooooo...!"

I awoke to an empty bed, Koneko had gone out for some reason or another. I took the opportunity to clean the room more thoroughly than before. After doing so, I left the room to brush my teeth, I came back to a still-clean room. One thing, though, Koneko was back.

Even though she appeared asleep on the sheets, I knew that she was awake. Putting my knowledge aside, I didn't wake the small girl, both for her sake and mine. I turned to go down the stairs and made it almost uneventfully, aside from nearly falling on the last two steps.

Sighing, I started to make the smae breakfast as yesterday. I got out the ingredients I would need and began to cook. I noticed that I didn't need the cookbook today, and I made a mental note to go do something masculine later, like what I normally did. Hanging around girls this much had poisoned my mind.

Without paying much attention to my surroundings or actions, I threw the simple breakfast together again. It was hard to really focus on much at all with the fantasies of Koneko I was having because of her dissapearance this morning. I heard Asia coming down the stairs, and made a serving of the food for her.

She tiredly accepted the food and thanked me for cooking. I meandered off to finish the cooking. After a second or two I heard a surprised exclamation from behind me and spun around as quickly as I could manage.

"Asia! Are you OK?" I asked. I thought that perhaps I should have paid a bit more attention while cooking. She had a hand over her mouth like she was ready to vomit.

"I-I-It's really good!" She said, much to my despair. "Everything is well-balanced, and it has a unique taste that's absolutely delightful!" Every praise she gave put an arrow through the core of my soul. I was good at cooking. There was good and bad things about it, I reasoned, trying to keep some shred of masculinity.

"Asia... please don't say that..." I mumbled, turning back to my nearly-finished food. Asia gave me a confused look and thanked me, putting her dishes away like yesterday. I finished cooking and set aside a serving for myself and everyone else.

By the time I was done eating, Rias had woken and stumbled down the stairs. I braced myself for her praise, even though normally I would have been ecstatic, and waitied for her to dig in. As she ate the first bite, her exhausted expression changed to one of joy. That determined that it wasn't just Asia messing with me, which was a conclusion I had reached while eating.

"Issei, this is really good! How did you do it?! It's like a completely different dish from yesterday's." Again, each word was like a stake to the heart. I would rather die again than live through this for any longer. Walking away, I halfheartedly noticed Rias's confused look.

I felt every shred of masculinity in my body run away, felt myself becoming something else. A rustling of clothes and clink of plates brought me back to reality. Rias had finished eating, and had put her dishes away. I stood and waited for Koneko to come down the stairs, starting every time I heard a noise.

About five minutes later, Koneko came down the stairs bright and happy. She ran up to me and jumped, wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my stomach. She kissed me, and jumped down.

"What's for breakfast?" She asked sweetly, intertwining her fingers in front of her and twisting her upper body from side to side. The look nearly cost me my consciousness, but I pulled through it. I served her her portion and awaited the response.

Instead of praising me, she just squealed happily when she ate every bite. I rubbed the back of my head and came to the conclusion that the love potion must have had some kind of side effect on her personality. Shrugging the thought away, but keeping it in the back of my mind, I stayed until she was through eating.

After she was done I got the dishes and began to clean them. Today I didn't flick water in her face, but I did pat her on top of the head as I walked by when I was done. This earned me an annoyed look, and I went over to the couch. This was the point in the break where there was either do your homework or stare at the ceiling.

"Do you want to do the homework, Koneko?" I asked, and she looked at me confused.

"I already did it. That's where I was this morning." Oh, so I would have to do it myself. Shaking my head, I went and got my books out. Thankfully enough, there wasn't much homework, so I was done with a few hours to spare thanks to Koneko's pestering to work.

"What to do...?" I asked to no one in particular. Koneko got a weird gleam in her eye and grabbed my hand, pulling herself over me. "Not that!" I just about yelled.

"Well, at least not in the living room." She gave me a suspicious look and removed herself from over me. We proceeded to make awkward small talk, both of us had been turned on by Koneko's action. Shifting my position for what seemed like the hundreth time, I reached yet another state of equilibrium for a time.

Koneko looked me in the eye at the perfectly wrong moment, and I jumped up and grabbed her hand. Pulling her up the stairs behind me, I could barely control myself long enough to reach the room.

So that's the stopping point here. The next chapter will be a lemon, in case you couldn't guess. Gonna take a bit of an idea I've seen from other people and make it an optional chapter. Read it if you want basically, it's not going to affect the story much.

Make sure you review and tell me what you think! I love it when you do that.

Thanks all,
