Chapter 13: What's Cooking?

Silence. That's what greeted Kiyoshis' ears. Thinking that perhaps his kouhais hadn't heard him, he asked in a slightly louder voice, "What do you want to make for our first official club activity today?"

It's not that nobody had heard him; it's just that they were thinking, well, three of them were. The three that were actually thinking about what they wanted to make were Kuroko, Momoi and Kise. Murasakibara didn't care what was made, as long as he got to eat something. Aomine was sitting in one of the chairs that were close to them…well, he was sleeping while sitting.

"Kiyoshi-senpai, why don't we make some chocolate chip cookies? I believe that they are the easiest sweets to make; also they don't take too long to bake," Kuroko spoke up.

"Mmhm, Tetsu-chan, you seem like the type of person who is a good cook! Well, why not bake those cookies then? I don't have a problem with it. It'll be fun to be making it with everyone~~~~!" Momoi said.

At this, Aomine shot out of his sleeping chair and shouted, "SATSUKI CAN'T COOK! PLEASE! I DON'T WANNA DIE YOUNG!"

Momoi hit him with a nearby cutting board-don't worry, Izuki cleaned it afterwards. Wondering what it was that had caused Aomine to shout out, Kiyoshi asked Momoi, "Could you go and tell someone at the office that we'll be staying a bit later since we're cooking? Thanks!"

Momoi was a little suspicious that she had been singled out, especially after what Aomine had just said. Shrugging, she left quickly. Once he was sure that Momoi was out of earshot, Kiyoshi asked his question, "What do you mean, Aomine-kun? Is there something wrong with Momoi-chans' cooking?"

Aomine then went on to recall one of many attempts on his life-all thanks to Momois' cooking.

"You know how for a sports team, the manager usually makes honey lemons? You know, the finely sliced lemon slices with honey over them? For Satsuki, making honey lemons means taking whole lemons, cleaning them, putting them in Tupperware, and pouring honey over it. She doesn't even slice them! And that's not the worst experience that eating her cooking has brought me!" stated Aomine.

Everyone was sweating at this. They just let a person not fit for cooking join the Cooking Club. They started to wonder if perhaps Aomine was over exaggerating-middle school boys have a tendency to do that. Everybody else would just have to wait and see if what Aomine had said was entirely true.

"I'm back~~~~~!" shouted the kitchen disaster waiting to happen-I mean, uh, Momoi.

"Don't worry, I told them! They said due to the rain still falling, most students are waiting for it to either pass or slow down," she told them.

In order to not let her suspect that they doubted her cooking abilities, Kuroko broke the silence, momentarily surprising everyone in the room. "Momoi-chan, why don't we get some aprons on and place our bags over there by where Aomine-kun is sitting? After we do that, we'll get out the ingredients we'll need and then we'll wash our hands," Kuroko instructed.

Thankful for her distraction, the others all followed suit, all except Aomine. He was still sleeping, or trying to anyways. Seeing as Kiyoshi and Izuki had been in the room before them, they were already ready. So, as Kuroko instructed, Murasakibara, Momoi, Kise as well as herself put their bags next to Aomine. The senpais of the club handed over the aprons. Murasakibara took the biggest one because of his height and Kise just took whichever random one it was that his hand grabbed. Momoi grabbed the third one and was about to grab the last one for Kuroko when Kuroko held up her hand.

"I already brought along my own apron. Aomine-kun can use that one," she said.

Kurokos' apron was light blue with some small white polka dots. Murasakibara had a purple one, Kise the yellow one, Momoi the black one-and funny enough the black one has the skull-and-crossbones on it. The last apron that was available was a dark blue one, and Aomine slipped it one lazily. Happy that all of the freshmen were dressed in their given aprons, Kiyoshi then motioned for them to wash their hands over at the sinks.

They had started to make little groups. Here's how the groupings ended up: Group 1-Kiyoshi, Kuroko, Murasakibara, Momoi; Group 2-Izuki, Kise, Aomine.

"Okay, so as you can see we already got the ingredients while you guys were placing your bags over there," Kiyoshi started, "Izuki and I will take care of the ovens, since we are older than you guys. Now, who here is good at cracking eggs? Whoever is the best in the group will be the one that cracks the eggs so that eggshells aren't found in the cookie batter."

Kuroko and Kise raised their hands. Kiyoshi nodded and continued, "Who is the best at measuring?"

Momoi and Izuki raised their hands. Even though they hadn't actually done anything yet, it was more to see who had more confidence and in which department that they did. Kuroko was a very good cook, Murasakibara could attest to that. However, this Cooking Club was a team effort. Everyone had to pitch in some way or another. Lastly, Kiyoshi asked, "Who is the best at mixing and who is the best at cleaning up?

Murasakibara and Aomine raised their hands. It was the least they could do. They just had to stir the ingredients until someone said, 'Enough!' and clean up afterwards. Kiyoshi would be a helper for both groups, helping out here and there if his club members were a little unsure about something. Also, he wanted to avoid anyone getting food poisoning on their first cooking day.

"Alright! Now that that's all taken care of, the ingredients are out, the instructions are in front of you and the equipment are off to your left! Let's bake some cookies!"

…

35 minutes later, and the cookies were ready to eat! Kuroko had noticed when Momoi seemed to be doing something other than what the instructions read. Thankfully, she hadn't allowed Momoi to put garlic powder into the cookies. Everybody in their group was happy at that. The other group was as well, seeing as they would be sharing cookies.

"Congratulations on baking your first batch of chocolate chip cookies in the Cooking Club! They're delicious!" commended Kiyoshi.

Everyone else just nodded in agreement, too busy with eating to talk. Aomine and Murasakibara had cleaned off the cookie sheet and the mixing bowl as well as the measuring cups right after the cookies had cooled off enough in order to be placed on a large plate. They'd clean that after they finished eating. They were using paper cups again, and they were eating the cookies off of napkins.

"Geez, I told you that adding garlic powder would have made these cookies event better! But nobody believes me," whined Momoi.

Everybody except for Momoi herself, felt sweat drop down their backs wondering how on earth she had managed to find the garlic powder and why in the world she felt that the cookies would taste better at all. They all agreed that the cookies were delicious. They weren't burnt, they were moist, the chocolate chips melted on their tongues, and with the milk they had to dip them in, everything was just right!

All the men silently agreed that from now on, Kuroko and Momoi would always be in the same group. For only Kuroko could keep their cookies safe from the monstrosities of Momois' cooking mind.

…..

Well…made this a tad longer than I had anticipated. Also, not really sure how you make honey lemons or if it's even called that. Sorry! You can send me a review telling me how it's actually made or what the actual name of it is or both. And for the person who requested that I have them make chocolate chip cookies, bloodydarkangel, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter! Hope it was funny…just a little funny…was it? Please review!
