Chapter 2: Cooking with Popuri

Popuri looked at him and sighed.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt… Okay Kai please come in." replied Popuri as she walked inside the house. Kai followed her inside. Inside the house, was the kitchen and right beside it the living room. Popuri had already begun to get out some pots and pans.

"So what are you planning on having for dinner?" asked Kai as Poprui placed the frying pan on the stove.

"I'm planning on making grilled fish and some egg sandwiches." claimed Popuri as Kai stared at her.

"Kai, can you get me a knife and some salt, oh and butter please?" asked Popuri as she began to grill the fish in the frying pan. Kai nodded and began to get the items Popuri requested out of the refrigerator, spice rack, and the silverware cupboard.

"Here you are Popuri." Stated Kai as he gave Poprui the items.

"Thank you Kai, could you watch the food while I go see where my big brother is?" asked Popuri giving Kai a very happy smile. Kai blushed but continued to help out Popuri. After about an hour dinner was done.

"Thank you so much for all your help Kai." Replied Popuri.

"No problem." said Kai smoothly. Just the Popuri's older brother Rick walked in.

"Popuri! Who is he!" Yelled Rick as he looked at Kai from head to toe already stereotyping him. Kai stared at the fellow with red hair and gave a simple smile.

"RICK! You have no right to yell at him! He was just helping me cook dinner and besides he's new here!" shouted Popuri to Rick. Rick gave a disgusted snort and then went up to his room. Soon after, Lillia, Popuri's mother came home from the clinic.

"Why hello there. Did you help Popuri make all this?" asked Lillia with a smile pasted on her face.

"Yes, I hope you enjoy it." Replied Kai as he went to leave.

"Kai wait, would you like to stay for dinner with us?" asked Popuri as she put another plate down on the table.

"That's okay I better get going back to the inn now. Maybe some other time. C'ya." Kai stated as he walked out the door.
