Chapter 11
Aha, that was one hell of a show that I put on for the students at school. Absolutely beat that reptile thing. Heh, that was a shocking encounter for him I bet, Rito thought smirking to himself due to his weird thoughts. After the fight, he'd made his way home in the most stylish fashion possible: taking to the skies. Using manipulation of air, it was all possible. Makes me glad that I trained for so long, Rito reflected. "Oh Rito, you're already back?" Mikan asked puzzled as she entered the house.
"Hai Mikan, I got into a slight pickle at school, and decided to make my way home after that," Rito replied.
"Why? Who did you get into a fight with?" Mikan questioned worried.
"Just some reptilian 'man'- it was nothing. I beat him, that's what matters, heh," Rito remarked nonchalantly.
Mikan glanced over her brother, making sure there was no injury, and nodded. "So much for staying out of trouble…" Mikan commented.
"Trouble is my stalker (well, maybe Yuka actually, Rito quickly thought), so it's always following me. I can't help it," Rito stated while smiling slightly.
"Rito, you were awesome at school. Especially that last part," Lala said lovingly to Rito. "Yeah, I think Rito-san will have even more girls after him with those events," Momo added. Hopefully, some for a harem, Momo thought deviously. Rito, worried by the strange twinkle in Momo's eyes, quickly responded: "I doubt that Momo… I'm pretty similar to before, and I don't think I'm that much of a chick magnet".
"Who'd have thought you'd have that much in you, you beast," Nana added with her usual name for him. "I can see that you think highly of me, o-great-second-princess-of-Deviluke," Rito replied sarcastically. That last part was for the specific purpose of annoying Nana, and by the looks of it, it was working. Her eyes twitching, Nana said angrily back to Rito: "Don't ever call me that".
"I'm just screwing around Nana. After all, you do have the looks of a princess…" Rito said casually. Again, there was a reaction from Nana: a blush formed on her face as she shook her head. "What are you saying you beast!" she shouted as she ran out the room. Oh my, I wonder what would happen if he'd said that to me, Momo pondered curiously. "She still hasn't changed in that retrospect," smirked a satisfied Rito. "I agree," nodded a smiling Lala.
"Mikan, I shall make all of us dinner today. So you can go take a hik- I mean a rest," Rito announced, spluttering at the last part.
"You can cook, Rito? Mikan questioned sceptical.
"Yeah boy, it's one of the things I learnt in my great voyage," Rito replied proudly.
"I'm not a boy Rito, and fine, if you really want to…" Mikan responded.
"It's just a phrase, but yeah. You do so much for everyone, so we should at least try and help sometimes. If I didn't, what sort of Onii-chan would I be?" Rito said ruffling his sister's hair. So, with that, Rito started the dinner preparations- let's see how good my cooking skills are now, Rito deliberated.
Using his fire manipulation skills, Rito had managed to pull off making some very high-quality dishes. Walking to the dining area, he announced: "Guys, dinner is ready!" This was followed by all of the house's occupants coming to the dining area. "Wow, this is very surprising. Never knew you'd become this skilful in cooking," Mikan commended.
"Yeah, it'd be great to have a King of Deviluke who can cook," Lala said happily.
"Haha, thanks guys, but my cooking is probably still sub-par to yours Mikan. You're just on another level," Rito said complimenting his sister. With that, they all sat down and ate (A/N: I forgot what they say for meals, it was itadakimitsu or something like that), enjoying the culinary talents of Rito.
The next day, Rito decided to go find Yami- I want to see whether I can beat her or not, he mused, confident that he would make some sort of impact on the deadly bio-weapon. After a small search, he found her in the library, where she instantly attacked him; " are you this willing to die Yuuki Rito?" she asked with a cold stare. Nervously, he replied, "ok, but let's take this to the fields". Yami was surprised by this but decided to follow.
"Alright Yami, you versus me; let's do this," Rito declared confidently as both of them prepared to engage.
Hey everyone. Sorry about the late chapter, I had to do some stuff yesterday, so could not publish a chapter. This one is a bit short- I don't know, the creativity just wasn't there. I think its because of my headphone change (Im weird), so the effect of the songs (to create ideas), isn't as strong, but hopefully, this is a one-off. Thanks for all the support, and enjoy. Next chapters going to be interesting- review and view as always, thanks.
