Kiyomaro's eye twitched as the light streamed in his window and hit his face. He groaned and rolled over on his bed, slapping his own face lightly a few times to get the burning sensation in his eyes to go away. It worked, and the teenager was sound asleep again in a matter of two seconds.

Gash yawned and sat up, rubbing his golden eyes tiredly. He looked around the room and saw Zeon sitting next to him. So his brother had protected him from his nightmares once more. Gash thought that he'd really like to return the favor someday. The demon looked towards Kiyomaro's bed and saw the teenager curled in a ball-like position and Dufort with his arms around the smaller human. That was odd. When did Dufort get in the room? Gash racked his brain for a few moments and decided to shrug it off.

He slowly peeled the covers off his body and stretched as far as he could. Gash then lightly tiptoed across the room as to not wake any of the three other people. He opened the door slowly, then dashed out of the room and practically flew down the flight of stairs and into the kitchen.

"Okay…" He mumbled to himself and climbed on the counter to reach a cabinet that was too high for him if he was simply standing with his own height on the floor. His stubby little fingers barely managed to reach the doors, but he managed to open them anyway. He stood on his toes, giving him a little more height as he tried to reach for one of the thick books in the cabinet. Gash groaned as he tried reaching just a little bit farther before the book he was trying to grab suddenly fell out and knocked him off his feet and sent him crashing to the floor.

Gash was dazed for a bit, but then he shook his head and tried to shrug off the pain. He couldn't ignore the sharp throbbing pain on the back of his head, but he hoped that no one had heard him and woken up. The demon lay there quietly for a few minutes, straining his ears for any type of noise, but he didn't hear anything. He deemed it safe and slowly sat back up, opening the book and reading its contents with a smile on his face. The smile slowly faded as he read more and more words.

"Uwooh…I can't read this book at all…every single word is too complicated for me. I can't read kanji!" He groaned and shut the book, leaning back on a bottom cabinet as he thought of what to do now. "Maybe I can just make something random myself…" He decided to just wing it and stood up before running towards the refrigerator and opening the door.

Gash grabbed four eggs and the entire container of milk before setting them all on the floor and reaching back into the refrigerator to look for more stuff. He grabbed the entire packet of cheese, bacon, and managed to pull out the orange juice container and closing the door with his back, arms full. The demon ran to the counter and placed everything he carried onto it before running back to the front of the refrigerator and picking up the eggs and milk. He ran back to the counter he placed the other ingredients and set them there.

"I don't know how to cook…but it can't be that bad!" He grabbed a frying pan from the lowest cabinet and set it on the stove. Gash dragged a nearby stool so that he didn't have to stand on his tiptoes the entire time he was cooking. He cracked each of the four eggs open and spilled the contents onto the frying pan after heating up the stove. The demon made sure that no pieces of egg shell had fallen into the pan, and he threw the empty shells into the sink.

He looked around for a spatula and grabbed the nearest one in order to help flip the eggs. The demon also grabbed nearby spices and threw them randomly into the frying pan until it started to look colorful. Gash smiled. Colorful was good, right? He flipped the eggs when needed(and almost made them fall onto the floor…) while adding milk and cheese and pretty soon they were cooked. The demon placed the four eggs onto four different plates, one for each person.

Gash then grabbed the pack of bacon and counted out eight, two for each person, before setting them in the microwave. He wasn't sure how long he was supposed to cook the microwavable bacon, but he decided to keep it in there for three minutes.

While the bacon was cooking in the microwave, Gash reached for three glass cups, and very carefully, he poured the orange juice into each cup, making sure everyone received an equal amount. He sighed in relief once he finished, and he hadn't spilled a drop. He was doing good today. The beeping of the microwave caught his attention, and he ran back to it to retrieve the bacon. They seemed to be good, if not a little overcooked.

The bacon stung his hand when he tried to pick each piece up, but he managed to fling two strips at every plate. He grabbed a plate and a cup and started heading for the dining table, and he went back to get the other three. Pretty soon, he was done, and a satisfactory smile crossed his lips.

The demon ran back upstairs and banged open the door to Kiyomaro's room. "Breakfast is ready!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, and he started everyone awake, Kiyomaro even falling off the bed. Before they could shout at him(well, Kiyomaro, anyway), Gash had ran out of the room and back downstairs. The three remaining people shared a confused look before they decided to follow Gash into the dining room.

"Wow Gash, did you make all this? It looks delicious!" Zeon practically drooled at the sight of all the food laid out for him, and hopped on a random seat.

"Unuu! I spent all morning making everything, so I hope you like it!" He pushed the two humans to their seats, and hopped on his own. "Itadakimasu~!"

"Uwooh! This is delicious, Gash!" Zeon exclaimed happily, scarfing down everything in front of him.

"It's good, I admit." Kiyomaro shrugged before taking a bite of the egg on his plate. "…Wait. Did you put cinnamon on the egg?"

"I don't know. I can't read any of the labels, so I just added them until the egg started to look pretty!"

"Uwahh!" Kiyomaro and Zeon jumped from the table while knocking their chairs over. Dufort looked unaffected and continued eating his food in silence.

Both Kiyomaro and Zeon noted silently in their minds to never let Gash cook again, for they didn't know what the little demon could have put in their food.
