Never Let Kotori Cook

PART II

A trial of smoke lingered and drifted among the room, and eventually disappeared out the window towards the training grounds. A moderately loud bang then sounded, and Kotori turned around and placed the spoon down on the workbench. Leaning forward she smelled at what she'd cooked, then grabbing a towel she lifted it off the stove and placed it on the side.

***

Meanwhile in the training, Hitomi fought against Sir Blastus, when he floored her, she had just managed to dodge his next blow, and stand back up on her feet, when Kotori's smell of cooking reached her. Sniffing it, Hitomi then pinched her nose, and wafted the smell away, when she spoke

"Is it me, or is it that something smells foul" she said.

"Mon ami, your right" he replied.

Halting there training session, Hitomi sheathed her sword, and ran off towards their tower, all the while calling

"It's Kotori, she's cooking again"

Disappearing round the corner, the other two knights joined Sir Blastus, just as he placed one end of his staff on the ground and merely said

"Kotori"

***

Running along the corridor, Hitomi flung the door open to Kotori's room.

"KOTORI" she roared.

"YAH!" screamed jumping half way across the room "DON'T DO THAT!"

"Your cooking again, aren't ya" said Hitomi, slamming the door behind her.

"And if I am" replied Kotori.

"We can smell in training grounds, it's so bad" said Hitomi.

"Hey, it is not" said Kotori placing her hands on her hips, and glaring at Hitomi.

"Well, evidently so, since Sir Blastus and I could smell it" said Hitomi.

"Well, then you've just got a strong sense of smell" said Kotori.

"STRONG SENSE OF SMELL" roared Hitomi. "KOTORI, EVEN A GUMMI WITH HARDLY ANY SENSE OF SMELL, COULD SMELL THAT!"

"Now, you're just exaggerating," said Kotori.

"Oh, yeah" said Hitomi.

***

The knights on the other side of the door however, look to be having their eardrums busted, with Hitomi and Kotori's high-pitched screams that could be heard at the other side of Gummadoon.

"YEAH!" shouted Kotori.

"Well then, why don't you go ask the gummies yourself, then" said Hitomi.

"No" said Kotori.

"(Bawks) Chicken" said Hitomi, imitating a chicken.

"Hmph, how can you criticize me, if you haven't even tried it" said Kotori.

The knights looked at one another in amazement, that Kotori even said such a thing. They alone knew what Kotori's cooking was like, and didn't want to taste it again.

"Cos, I know can tell by smell alone, it's bad" screeched Hitomi.

"Is not" said Kotori.

"Kotori, do everyone a favour, and just get rid of that terrible stuff, and spare everyone from tasting it" said Hitomi.

Kotori glare was murderous, and she said, as she picked up a spoon and began to stir the contents in the pot.

"You won't know whether it's bad, or not, until you've tried it" said Kotori innocently, a glint appearing in her eyes, as she lifted the spoon from the pot, the contents of what looked like dark brown slop. "I dare you".

"Yeah right, you've gotta be crazy, someone had gotta have a strong stomach to be able to eat that, slop" said Hitomi.

"Hmmm, yes, but that's them, not you" she said.

Hitomi raised her hands in front of her, and began to back away, until she slammed against the wall, she found herself trapped, and turned to look at Kotori horrified.

"Oh, but you must" said Kotori evilly grinning at Hitomi.

"NO!" shouted Hitomi.

The knights then opened the door to Hitomi's scream, and a crash following shortly after, and just in time saw Kotori pinch Hitomi's nose, and a spoon being shoved in her mouth. Seeing Hitomi turn green instantly and begun to splutter they heard something that resembled

"Ack (coughs and splutters) tastes foul"

"Hey, it does not" said Kotori. Turning round, she walked over to the pot, and taking another spoonful, she tasted it herself, and tried not to gag when she tasted it. "Err…maybe you were right"

Hitomi turned a shade darker green, staggered to her feet then placing one hand over her stomach the other over her mouth she barged through the knights in search of the nearest toilet.

"Hey, it wasn't that bad" shouted Kotori.

"It seems it was"

"Hmph, some people just don't appreciate good cooking when they taste it" said Kotori, before then rounding on the knights. "Wanna try some"

"No thanks, Kotori, we really should be getting back to attend to our duties, NOW!" said the knights, as they quickly left the room, before she had any chance to protest.

Now outside the door, the door shut behind them, Sir Blastus and Sir Gumlittle quickly headed towards the training grounds, whilst Sir Plucki went in search for Hitomi, before Kotori came out after them.

Going along the corridors, Sir Plucki soon enough, heard the sounds of someone emptying their stomach, and followed it, where he was then led to her room, just a couple of doors away from Kotori's. Seeing the door wide open, and slammed against the wall, Sir Plucki walked in, and silently closed the door behind him, and went to check Hitomi. Finding her in the bathroom, attached to her room, he saw her stood over the sink, drinking water, to try and get rid of the foul taste within her mouth.

Resuming back to her seat, Hitomi looked up to see Sir Plucki stood in the doorway, looking at her with somewhat concern.

"Food poisoning" Hitomi merely said.

Letting her head fall into her hands, she closed her eyes, feeling a headache coming, when she suddenly felt herself being lifted, her eyes flew open, to see herself being carried in the arms of Sir Plucki.

Carrying her into her room, he laid her down on her bed, then sitting down beside her, he said

"Rest, Hitomi"

He received a groan in reply, then said "That is an order, not a request".

Silently cursing under her breath, Hitomi then sat up on her elbows, and looked at him, before then saying whilst grabbing him, and pulling him towards her

"Well, if that is the case, I ain't gonna spend it alone".

"Hitomi, I have duties" he said, as Hitomi claimed his lips.

Momentarily and passionately kissing one another before pulling away. Gazing at Hitomi he swept her hair out of her face and, gently his fingers graced her cheek in loving affection. Cupping her face she leant into his touch as he kissed her again passionately and deeply she responded. Drawing back again some moments later he smiled at her before rising from the bed and walking to the door.

Hitomi folded her arms across her chest, and looked at him rather sulkily when he turned to look at her again.

"Do I have to stay here" she said.

"Yes, Hitomi, that is an order" he said.

"Yeah, no thanks to Kotori's cooking"

The gummi captain smiled at Hitomi, then left the room, to continue his duties, and Hitomi watched him go, before then turning over, and going under the sheets, fell asleep.
