Chapter 8

Cooking for my Beloved

There are times when I think back on my life as a human. Although, i have had a few good memories. Most of them is when I don't stand out as much. I have gotten used to it by now, but it still hurts to be left out all the time. I'm sure everybody else feels the same way….including Mizore-chan….

Since that incident back in the human world, the girls told Nekonome about it. The cat woman fears something dangerous is lurking in the human world and may cause harm to her students if they came back. Kasumi's parents may be able to stop these creatures for a while. However, who knows who else might be hiding the fact that they are monsters as well. Only time will tell. For now, Nekonome will let them know if more danger rises and see if they are brave enough to take down whoever is trying to attack.

The next day, Moka, Kasumi, Yukari, Kurumu and Mizore are taking cooking class. The school highly recommends it since they ARE trying to blend in with human society. The students here are more than happy to learn the ways of cooking.

Today's recipe is curry. A simple, delicious dish that everyone would enjoy. Moka and the others are excited to learn about this dish. The female cooking teacher goes over the ingredients, measurements, how long it takes to cook and then lastly, tasting it. Kasumi looks over at Moka, who is standing next to her during the lecture. She cannot help but picture in her head what Moka would look like in a real apron.

Kasumi's Fantasy*

Moka is wearing a Naked Apron with black thigh high stockings and black high heels to go with it. The beautiful and cute pinkette turns around, her long, flowing hair swaying gracefully at the movement and smiles.

"Welcome back, darling~" she says. "Ehehe! Would you like dinner…a bath…or would you prefer…me~?"

Kasumi swoons at the sheer beauty and sexiness of the cute vampire.

End of Fantasy*

Kasumi's ponytail wags with excitement as she sways back and forth, hands clasped together, and giggling softly as she gets into her fantasy. Moka and the others sweat drop at the shy girl.

When lectures are over, it's time for the students to take what they have learned and put it into their cooking. They get right to work.

After boiling some water, putting in cut vegetables and little bit of spices, and the rice is fully cooked, their curry turns out to be a success. Although for some people, they want to spice things up. Kurumu pours some aphrodisiac in the boiling water with vegetables and licks her lips.

"Perfect~" Kurumu says. "Either one who tastes this cannot resist pleasure~"

"This isn't science class…" Moka deadpans. She then turns to Yukari, who is cooking up quite a dish. She walks over and sees some green liquid with a lizard tail sticking up. "Is that…still alive…?" Moka points to the tail wagging.

"It won't be for long~" Yukari says. "This is my own way of cooking, yes~"

"For a witch, maybe…" Moka sighs and then goes back to her own stove to get the finishing touches. She looks over at her lover, who is pouring out her love into her own curry. The adorable pinkette smiles a small smile. She will do exactly the same for her own curry.

Meanwhile, a certain little vampire peers through the window, watching Moka cooking.

"Onee-sama…" Kokoa sighs. "This isn't what I want to see. The real Onee-sama I know would never resort to things like this…"

"Oh really now….?" Mizore says. "And how do you suppose your big sis would be like when she cooks. She might be able to cook just as well as her other self."

"Ohhhhh…!" Kokoa groans and then turns to point her finger at the snow woman. "It's none of your business, you know!? And why aren't you in class?"

"I could ask you the same question…" Mizore says.

"Guh!" Kokoa almost falls over and then shakes her head roughly. "No matter! I don't have time to discuss this! You never saw me, okay!?" She turns and dashes off.

Mizore shrugs. "Suit yourself…" She goes and sneaks to class without notice.

Later*

After cooking the curry and rice, they serve them on plates and carry them to a table. Kasumi sets down her plate and plops next to Moka. She shyly scoops up some rice and curry together and holds it up.

"H-here…Moka-san…" she says.

Moka happily opens her mouth and eats it. "Mmmmm~! Delicious! Just as I expected from my beloved Kasumi~!"

"Th-thank you very much…" Kasumi blushes.

"Try mine~" The pinkette holds out a piece of her own curry and rice.

Kasumi nods and eats the curry. "Mm…delicious." She says.

The two girls giggle until Kurumu arrives, presenting her curry. But the sauce is colored purple. Moka and Kasumi look at it in disgust.

"Is that…supposed to be that way?" Moka asks.

"Of course!" Kurumu replies. "I call it The Succubus Special!"

"There's nothing special about this one…!" Kasumi feels like she's going to puke.

Yukari presents her curry and it looks twice as disgusting as Kurumu's. The sauce is colored green and a lizard's tail is showing. "Well, I present my own Special Curry! Little Witch Style~!"

Moka, Kurumu and Kasumi turn away at the curry the little witch made. There is yet one more person they can turn to, though.

"Mizore-chan cooked some curry too, right?" Moka turns to the snow woman.

"O-oh…yes," Mizore nods and grabs her plate. "Here it is…" The quiet girl presents hers…and it's frozen solid. A big ice cube surrounds the regularly made curry. "F-for my beloved…by the way…"

Kurumu looks at the frozen solid curry. "Yours turned out well like Kasumi-chan's and Moka's but…can you leave the ice out?"

Mizore lets out a soft squeak and then sighs in disappointment. "You're right. I am so sorry it turned out like this…"

"N-no, you did the first part correctly," Moka tries to cheer her friend up. "Perhaps you need to tone down something…?"

Just then, they hear some girls giggling.

"That's the best you can do, Mizore Shirayuki?" One girl says.

"You are a snow woman," another says. "I knew that cooking isn't your best suit!"

"Everything she touches, she freezes solid," the third one says. "Too bad your loved one cannot accept any dish you cook, even if you wanted to improve!"

Mizore hangs her head down, clenching her fist. "Insects…" She thrusts her hand forward and freezes the trio solid. She then turns and runs away.

"M-Mizore-chan!" Moka tries to stop her, but the quiet girl is long gone.

"Sheesh!" Kurumu huffs and crosses her arms. "Some people need to chill! And not literally like Mizore did there!"

"I guess there are still some people who don't accept others," Kasumi says sadly."

"Kasumi…" Moka says.

"She's right," Yukari says. "Mizore just wants to fit in like the rest. She's just born with what she has."

Kurumu bites her lip and looks down at the floor. Her girlfriend, Mizore. Her feelings have been hurt. It's so frustrating that Mizore's bullying days come back to haunt her whenever there's an opportunity. This isn't right.

"Girls," Kurumu says. "Forget about my curry for today. This time…My Little Snow Bunny will receive curry that a regular human makes! And I will make it with love!" She pumps a fist with a determined expression on her face.

"That's the way!" Yukari cheers.

Kasumi nods in agreement. "You can do it, Kurumu-chan."

"Let's all believe in Mizore-chan too!" Moka says. "I'm sure she can make curry just as well as us this time!"

"Yeah!" The rest of the girls cheer.

Meanwhile*

Mizore is on the school roof, all alone. She is hugging herself, feeling depressed.

"Why can't I fit in…?" The quiet girl says to herself. "I'm a snow woman. And snow women…they…they are who they are. I just want…to be accepted from everyone…"

She thinks back at when she first met Kasumi and how the shy girl understood where she came from. She remembers that she wasn't the only one who felt so alone. But Kasumi assured her that Mizore will be accepted by her true friends. Kurumu, Moka and Yukari.

"That's it…" Mizore stands up, finding some strength in her. "I cannot think about each and every one of the students. I need to think about what's in front of me right now. I have my best friends. I have my beloved…Kurumu…" She realizes that she is probably worrying the beautiful and busty succubus. She needs to make it up to her. "Alright…! No time for moping…! I will try once again to make the best curry. And this time…I will do it with love….!"

The snow woman hurries back to the dorms and gets everything prepared for cooking.

For the next few days, Mizore tries her hardest to make the absolute best curry she can. She gets the measurements and cutting the vegetables down. However, the first few attempts end in failure. The pot boils over or the veggies get overcooked or the rice gets overcooked too. The snow woman still feels committed. She must keep trying in order to make Kurumu happy.

She grabs the best cook book she can find from the school store and decides to buy that one. Ruby, who is running the store, takes notice of Mizore's predicament and decides to help the poor snow woman out.

Late afternoon, Mizore carries big bags of groceries when Ruby approaches her, wearing a bandana and an apron. She just smiles and holds up a small bag of cooking supplies. Mizore can tell that the older witch wants to help out, so she accepts the offer.

Ruby teaches Mizore the proper way of making curry. The snow woman eagerly takes notes during her lecture. A blush appears on her face, thinking about how Kurumu would appreciate Mizore's fine cooking. This motivates her into trying even harder.

After Ruby leaves, Mizore goes and does the cooking on her own. She goes by what the notes said. She measures carefully and boils the water at a precise amount and then cuts the veggies, meat and onions carefully. She will surely pour her heart into the curry she makes. Kurumu will be surprised by the time it is complete.

Once everything is prepared, Mizore heats up the curry and waits for the final result. The rice is already cooked perfectly. Nice and fluffy. Mizore rests her head on the small table, closing her eyes.

"Kurumu…" she mumbles to herself.

Next Day*

Kasumi and her friends get to the cooking room after school to heat up their finished curry for everyone to enjoy. They have yet to wait for Mizore since she's been mostly silent most of the day. Pretty soon, the snow woman enters the room with her batch of curry and places the pot on the stove.

"Prepare…to be amazed…" she turns it on and heats up the neatly cooked meat, vegetables and potatoes that are inside the pot. She prepares the rice as well.

In just a half hour, the curry is done and she opens up the pot. The smell of it is delicious and Mizore serves the rice and curry on the plate.

"Presenting…" Mizore holds up her dish. "My very own curry…filled with love…!"

Kurumu looks at the curry. It's not an ice cube anymore and it's even better than last time. She takes the plate and scoops the rice and curry with her spoon. She takes the first bite.

"Mmmm~!" Kurumu hums happily at the taste. "Wow, Mizore! This is fantastic! You really worked hard on it!"

Kasumi takes a bite of Mizore's curry. "Yes! Kurumu-chan's right! This is amazing!"

Yukari takes a bite of it. "Sooooo yummyyyy~!"

Moka takes a bite of it as well. "You did a very good job, Mizore-chan."

Mizore smiles and small tears of happiness form in her eyes. "Thank you…everyone…"

Kurumu takes another bite and sets the plate down to the side. She gently puts her hands on her beloved's shoulders. "It's absolutely incredible. You poured your heart and soul into making this. I'm very proud of you."

"Kurumu…" Mizore says.

"In fact," Kurumu grabs her own curry and hands the plate to Mizore. "I have worked hard myself. You should try it. Don't worry. I didn't add anything strange in there. The whole thing was made properly~"

Mizore takes a spoon and scoops up the rice and curry. She takes a bite of it and then hums softly at the taste. "Mmmm…very delicious. Thank you…Kurumu…"

"Anything for you…my Little Snow Bunny~" Kurumu says.

Kasumi and the others share happy smiles.

A/N: No fights in this one. I decided to take a break for a while and just write something wholesome for once. XD

But yeah, the curry episode I was also familiar with so I wanted to apply that to my story and change things up.

And my guest reviewer: I only read that part because I was curious about Kalua's first appearance and how she fights. I have also seen the yuri kiss between Kurumu and Mizore, which was amazing by the way. So don't worry about me forgetting that part.

However, in my story, Mizore already has a true love. So…for her having someone else as a lover, it's not going to work. Especially if Tsurara is fully accepting.

Anyways, what to do next? Well…I may want to do Lilith's Mirror episode, but on the other hand, I may want to leave that for a couple chapters later. Secondly, the first battle with Fairy Tale should be pretty soon. Just not the next chapter.

I may do fillers again if I can but other than that, I'm kinda stumped again. XD Offer any suggestions that might help keep it flowing.

Have a nice day!
