Chapter 19: Gaara the Iron Chef! Part 3
Kurenai walked over to her last booth, which was where Itachi and Kisame would be waiting to give her their food.
Though Kurenai only saw Itachi on the floor, washing away blood?
Yes, blood. It was EVERYWHERE!
Itachi wringed the sponge as the blood dripped out into the basin, Kurenai approached with a wry smile on her face. What was with all the blood?
"Itachi?" Kurenai said as she watched Itachi sigh sadly. Itachi turned around to see Kurenai watching him with interest.
Itachi just took out some kind of casserole out of the oven as he took of his oven mitts. "What's with all the blood?" Kurenai said lightly tapping the blood on the cupboard.
"Oh, it's just that I like my ingredients fresh you know" Itachi said with a funny look in his eye, Kurenai raised a brow but decided that some people just liked their ingredients fresh.
Itachi gave another sigh as Kurenai gave him a meaningful look. "What's wrong?" Kurenai asked him, as Itachi just looked away shyly. "Oh, it's nothing" Itachi said as he immediately turned around.
"I just fought with Kisame, it was horrible. We kept yelling and screaming! He didn't want to do this competition. He said I've CHANGED since I've heard about this competition- swore all I did was learn to cook and neglect him and his needs" Itachi gushed out as Kurenai nodded her head, as she understood his problem.
"That sounds pretty bad" Kurenai told him, "yes, it was" Itachi said as he pulled out his squeegee to finish cleaning up the blood.
"What kind of food did you make, for the competition?" Kurenai asked him, "Oh. I only made casserole," Itachi mumbled.
Kurenai picked up a fork and took a bite out of the casserole and was amazed at how rich and wonderful it tasted.
"What is this?" Kurenai said amazed, "Hmm? Oh, just Shark Casserole" Itachi informed her as he continued to clean up the blood.
Kurenai smiled as she took another bite, "I'll be voting for you" Kurenai told Itachi, "I also hope things get better between you and Kisame"
"Oh, I doubt it" Itachi said as he threw the squeegee covered in blood in the garbage.
Back with Gai-Sensei…Gai-Sensei looked around confused, he was pretty sure he had two more booths. Gai-Sensei's eyes landed on Tenten, his eyes widened as he noticed he was to check her food.
He pretended he didn't see her,
"Gai-Sensei! I finished the meal," Hinata said running up to him as Gai-Sensei saw he had made her another little feast, Gai-Sensei chuckled evilly- he had put her in her place.
Then, he saw it; it was like determination in her eyes- it disgusted him.
"There's a HAIR in my SUSHI!" Gai-Sensei lied as he threw her food to the floor, "This is NOT Iron Chef material"
Hinata burned with fury as she went back to her booth, muttering about how he was just like the rest of them? Gai-Sensei made a mental note to call the Wacky Shack if they still had her room available.
Gai-Sensei looked around and saw Tenten waiting for her, he didn't like the way she enjoyed playing with the knife so much. It was quite creepy.
"GAI-SENSEI! OVER HERE!" came a loud voice, Gai-Sensei looked around to see who had yelled that. It was Kiba and Shino- and their booth was OUTSIDE?
"Why is your booth outside?" Gai-Sensei yelled out the window to them, "Shino and his bugs were a health violation, so they put us out here instead" Kiba yelled back. "It was a board of health issue," Shino muttered quietly.
Gai-Sensei looked at the young buck with the sunglasses, he looked quite ashamed of himself. Oh, Shino was ashamed indeed.
Gai-Sensei sighed as he trudged outside, oh! How youthful they looked, baking in the sun!
"What do you have for me today?" Gai asked them as they showed him their stew, "Ooh, stew" Gai-Sensei said as his mouth started to water. He got hungry, just thinking about stew.
"Would you LIKE some, Gai-Sensei" Kiba said putting it under his nose, "yes" Gai-Sensei said as they handed him a big spoon with stew.
"Ahh" Gai-Sensei took a big bite, and pulled something about of his mouth. Was Kiba and Shino's stew…a dog biscuit stew?
He cringed in horror as he saw that the whole stew was bubbling with those doggy treats. "Why…why?" Gai-Sensei whimpered they had TOTALLY destroyed his appetite.
"Hmm?" Kiba took a big sip of his stew…but something wasn't right! Kiba picked up a spoonful and saw a doggy biscuit bobbing up and down.
Kiba eyes widened in horror. Who? Why? WHEN?
Then he knew, who else could it be? Other than the bastard himself, Harry Potter!
Kiba turned to see the little geek cackling…like the little witch he was. "This isn't over yet, Potter! Oh, far from it!" Kiba yelled angrily at the warlock. Harry opened his little backpack and pulled out that ugly blanket.
"OH NO, YOU DON'T!" Kiba said as he tried to grab the blanket, but it already had been thrown on his head. Yet again, Potter had gotten away.
Back with Kakashi…
"Oh, hello Temari, Gaara" Kakashi said as he walked over to his own last booth.
Temari smiled warmly, whereas Gaara was pissed as hell. His pasta was getting cold!
"So? Can I see you meal?" Kakashi asked Temari, "Oh…it's not mine, it's Gaara's" Temari said titling her head towards the little red-haired boy.
"Oh…Kay" Kakashi said as he left Temari to talk to Gaara.
Long story, short…Kakashi-Sensei was impressed. He tasted their delicious appetizers, their warm pasta, and their delicious gelato, Just-a like Italy.
Kakashi walked off, but before that informed they had his vote and left to meet the rest of the Sensei's to make the final decision on who would be the next IRON CHEF! Or, the FIRST iron Chef is the appropriate term.
Back with Asuma…
"Why is he here? Why is he here? Why is he here?" Sasuke said as he dusted his booth from top to bottom, by far Sasuke had the cleanest booth around.
"Why is WHO here?" Asuma said startling Sasuke, "Itachi" Sasuke said staring at his brother's cape. Thinks he's so hot, because he wears a flowery cape. Not even.
"Oh, so what have you made?" Asuma asked him, "Nothing" Sasuke hissed at Asuma. "Nothing?" Asuma said amazed, "yes. Nothing. I've been too busy cleaning" Sasuke said as he spit shine the counter clean.
Asuma nodded as he saw Sasuke's booth glitter and shine, he was quite the little janitor.
"Why ARE you cleaning?" Asuma said as he saw the oven as spotless as Gai-Sensei's brain, you know like never been used.
"I clean when I get nervous" Sasuke said as he scrubbed the utensils he hasn't even used. "Well, you're pretty good at it…but you know what?" Asuma said as his voice fell to a whisper.
"What?" Sasuke whispered back, "Itachi told me that at MY house, he's going to fight you" Asuma told the raven-haired boy. "What?" Sasuke shrieked quietly.
"Come, let me show you there" Asuma said as he grabbed Sasuke's wrist to pull him along, then stopped and grabbed the Pine Sol.
"You're going to need this" Asuma informed Sasuke as they disappeared from the Iron Chef Competition.
15 minutes later with the Sensei's
"Where in the 7 hells is Asuma" Kurenai said as she rubbed her temples, she had a sharp pain between the eyes.
"I don't think he's around anymore," Kakashi said looking around for Asuma in the stadiums. "So, we're going to make the decision without him? Just the three of us?" Gai-Sensei looked scared, he had never done anything in threes. The number sounded SO wrong.
"We can call Iruka?" Kurenai suggested, Kakashi and Gai-Sensei both winced and told Kurenai they would be fine.
"Guess it's time to make the verdict on WHO WILL BE THE IRON CHEF!" Kakashi roared as everyone broke down into waves of applause.
"You will do ANYTHING to show me up" Gai-Sensei huffed as Kurenai sighed, Kakashi can be SUCH a show-off.
Kakashi sat down abashed at his behavior as they all discussed whom they would like to be the Iron Chef. They had decided on four finalists…
Kurenai's choice was Itachi's meal. Kakashi's choice was Gaara of the Desert's meal; Kiba and Shino's meal was the last one…the stew was crap but there was no one else to choose from.
The three finalists stared each other down; Shino of course was left outside since he was indeed a board of health issue. Though Shino was still glaring from outside the window.
WHO WILL WIN?
KDZ: Review and I'll tell you.
