"In The Arms Of An Angel"

Chapter 17

The Worst Meal In The World

There was an awkward silence between the two. It seemed to last an eternity, before Kyo tried to strike up a conversation

"Well… Er… We'd best go down and eat…" he said, blushing really hard

"Yeah…" said Tohru "I'm…Just… Gonna… Get changed…"

"OK!" said Kyo "I'll leave now and see ya… downstairs…"

Tohru quickly got changed and headed downstairs. The tables in the dining room were all pushed to the side and one very small one, which had a very dim lamp on it. Sat around the table was: Kyo, Shigure, Haru, and soon to be Ha'ri.

"Hey," said Tohru taking a seat next to Haru. She looked down at her plate "What's this?"

"Our special!" said Shigure "It's my famous Sohma Soup!"

To be honest, the station food looked better than what Tohru had in front of her

"Erm… It looks…" said Tohru 'Disgusting' she thought to herself "Delicious… Let's eat"

They sat there and ate in silence. Only munching of the crunchy croutons (A/N: mmmmm… croutons…. -drools-) was heard. Tohru just ate the croutons around the soup, it wasn't very appetizing, but it was better than eating… or drinking the stuff in the bowl

"Well, I'm full who's wants to clean?" said Tohru, after she noticed the croutons were gone

"But Tohru," said Shigure "You haven't even touched your soup. Don't you like it?"

"Erm… Yeah… It's great," said Tohru, sitting down and picking up her spoon

"C'mon eat up!" said Shigure, smiling

Tohru looked down at her soup "What flavour is this?" she asked

"Minestrone!" said Shigure

Tohru looked at Haru, who rolled his eyes and shook his head, then resumed eating the soup. The Tohru looked at Kyo, who was discreetly pouring his soup into a dead plant. Tohru placed the spoon in the soup, then picked it up, the black liquid in the spoon. She placed it to her lips, she had to force them to open, placed the soup in her mouth. She immediately spat it out. It was the worst meal in the world!

She choked. Shigure stared at her as she gulped down all her water in one go. She looked up, to see everyone looking at her; Shigure had rejection in his eyes

"I see you don't like it. So I'll go clean up…" he said, and started picking up everyone's bowls

"No! No!" shouted Tohru, standing up as Shigure entered the kitchen "I didn't mean it… like… that…" 'Great… Another person who hates me…'

"You should've just eaten the damn thing, just to keep him happy" said Kyo, looking at the kitchen doors, as the swung back and forth

"He only wanted to give me a break" said Tohru "And I threw it in his face… I'm so ashamed… he was being selfless…"

"It's not your fault her can't cook," said Haru, patting Tohru on the back "He just needs to get used to that fact

"No!" said Tohru "He took the time to cook us that… I knew I wouldn't feel at all great if some one did that to my cooking… It's not fair…"

"Tohru!" said Kyo "He can't cook! That's his problem! Not yours!"

"I'm gonna go see him" said Tohru

She put her head up above the window of the kitchen doors, to see Shigure, a box of minestrone soup in his hand

"Where did I go wrong?" he said, running his finger down what Tohru thought were the instructions "Put powder into cup… check… Place in microwave… check… Heat for 3 minutes… check… Wait one minute before serving… check…" he looked all round the packet until he found the best before date "November 1995… Oops"

Tohru froze "Haru!" she screamed

Haru was on the floor "Ahh, my stomach" he said, clutching his sides

"Haru!" said Kyo "Shigure!"

Shigure came in "I hope no one ate that soup did they?" he saw Haru on the floor "Maybe they did"

"Famous soup, huh?" asked Tohru "I saw you with the packet in your hand"

"I just wanted to cook…" said Shigure

"C'mon," said Tohru "Let's get Haru to his room… I'd say he'll be out for some time"

(A/N: Shigure never was a good cook was he? See next chappie for more! I don't own FB or the characters)
