Chapter 4-Breakfast for Dinner

"Ryuhou I'm sure you've heard about the strange fire that has occurred in front of Scheris's room."

"No sir," Ryuhou lied. He hated himself for lying, but he never broke a promise to someone, it went against his morals. But then again, so did lying. So why is it he chose Mimori to protect rather than break the promise and tell Commander the truth? 'Because she's like me…' he answered himself. 'We're the same in that aspect….'

Commander's face looked disappointed. Mimori got the feeling that somehow Commander knew that it was her fault. "I see… Mimori could you leave us?" Mimori looked a bit worried but followed orders and left the room. After about 10 minutes Ryuhou came outside. He turned to Mimori and glared.

"What did you tell him?" He asked, the glare intensifying.

"Nothing! Why do you always assume that I tell people everything! I've been with you since the mission!"

"I've been assigned….." He began. " Scheris is no longer my partner….. You are…. I think he knows…."

"That wouldn't surprise me, somehow he knows everything that goes on around here, even when it's trying to be kept a secret…"

"Well come one, time to train."

"Train?"

"Yah, if you're gonna be my partner you need to learn to control it and either fight with me against the Native Alters or defend yourself while I do the fighting."

Mimori didn't like the thought of fighting against Native Alters, in her point of view, they didn't do anything wrong and didn't deserve to be captured. But she was spending time with Ryuhou, and she wouldn't be able to convince him of her thoughts until she got closer to him, so she decided not to reply to his comment.

"When do we start?" She smiled.

"Right now!" He summoned Zetsuei and it charged at Mimori. She closed her eyes and braced herself for the pain, but it never came. She opened her eyes slowly to reveal Zetsuei literally an inch away from her face. "Always be ready, that's the first thing you must learn to do besides controlling your powers. Never let an opponent catch you off guard, I guarantee that they won't hesitate as I did." Mimori nodded. "Now cry, and force your tears at me without burning yourself."

"Mimori gave him a crazy look. "Excuse me? I can't control when I cry anymore, and I surely can't make my tears go towards you! Much less without burning myself! You're taking this way too fast!"

"Ok then first thing's first, cry."

"Weren't you listening? I said I can't!"

"Then why are you even here?" He walked closer to her. "If I can't help you then you should just go back to the mainland and stop bothering me with you're low confidence in yourself. Stop whining and try."

"I told you I can't! And I don't have low confidence I'm simply stating my capabilities!"

"Then take your capabilities and leave Miss Kiryu." He turned around and began to walk away.

"You jerk…" She whispered. She hated him calling her that, and she hated how he told her to leave

"Scheris wouldn't have given up this easily.." was his reply.

"You JEEERRRKKK!" Tears flooded from her eyes and burned the ground around her. It made a bubble of fire around her that got bigger as more tears fell.

"Mimori!" To both of their surprise, Mimori wasn't harmed. Well, her clothes were turned to ash, but she herself had no burns of any kind on her. Ryuhou was very relieved that the fire made it to where he couldn't see her. "Calm down control yourself!"

"LIKE SCHERIS WOULD!" She asked, her voice filled with sadness and anger.

"I only said that to awaken your Alter! I didn't mean it Mimori calm down!" It seems nothing could control her, she attacked Zetsuei with full force, and Zetsuei seemed to be injured.

"Ryuhou I can't control it! I can't control it anymore! It won't stop I can't calm down!" She was scared, at first she was able to control how powerful it was, but now she couldn't stop it.

Ryuhou was left with no other options. As much as he hated "living in the pat" or anything to do with it, it seems he had no other choice. 'She is going to owe me for this one…' "MIRI!" He shouted as loud as he could.

Mimori's heart skipped a beat. It was a nickname he had given her a long time ago. He had forgotten her name and had remembered the first and last syllables. Thinking it was cute, Mimori had insisted on Ryuhou calling her that. The fire that engulfed her and everything around her ceased, and she fell to her knees.

"Take this Mimori," Ryuhou handed her a jacket and refused to look at her while she didn't have her clothes on. "For all of our sake's take it and out it on." Mimori smiled and gratefully accepted his offer.

"Thank you Ryuhou," She couldn't help but show the happiness that she felt. He had never, not since they were kids, refered to her as Miri. She hugged him, but he quickly moved out of her reach.

"Don't hug me." Mimori looked a bit disappointed, but not even that could stop her from smiling a bright smile. She extended her hand formally, and he shook it. "You're welcome, but you owe me big time." They walked back into HOLY headquarters and Mimori followed Ryuhou back into his room.

"How do I pay you back?" She asked. Ryuhou gave her a serious look.

"Mimori, if you ever tell anyone that I asked you to do this, I will seriously kill you." Mimori gulped. "I want you… to cook for me….I hate cafeteria food…." Mimori was fighting the urge to burst with laughter.

"You mean that's all?" she asked as she fought off fits of giggles. He was serious no matter what, even when it came to cooking!

"Unfortunately I can't cook worth crap, so I'm asking you to do it for me.." Mimori nodded and went to get his pots and pans. She decided to cook him breakfast for dinner, and made him pancakes, eggs, and biscuits. He quickly scarfed them down and thanked her politley

"And for dessert I'll make orange frosted cinnamon rolls!" She smiled.

"You might want to check the expiration date on those, they've been in the fried for a while."

"They'll be fine, but before you get them you have to say the word!"

"The word?" Ryuhou was confused. "What word?"

"When you can guess it, you can have your orange frosted cinnamon rolls!" Mimori walked away from him. Ryuhou, on the other hand, realized how good the dessert smelled, and was bound and determined to get some.

"Hey," he said, suddenly coming to a realization. "I bought those!"

"Hai, but who cooked them?" Mimori stuck out her tongue. The way he was acting reminded her of when they were kids, and she was loving and cherishing every rare minute of it.

"Oh and after you're done please get out of my jacket and go get your own clothes, Cougar would have a field day if he could see this." Upon hearing this Mimori blushed, remembering that all she was wearing was his jacket. She tugged at it and tried to pull it lower so it wouldn't show so much of her legs. "Is it please?"

Mimori remembered that she was making him guess the word. "Nope!" She smirked. He began to guess random things, each of them being wrong. 'Boy he may be smart like me but at times he can be such an idiot…' she laughed inside. The timer went off, and Mimori went to get the biscuits. "I would hurry if I were you, before they get cold!"

Ryuhou was stumped. He couldn't believe it, one stupid word was preventing him from eating those sweet smelling cinnamon rolls! He was thinking about using Zetsuei to steal them from her, but he figured he wouldn't waste his energy, and plus he didn't want to get Mimori fired up again.

He was just about to guess another word when they heard a knock at the door. Mimori went to answer it, taking the plate of cinnamon rolls with her. She opened it to find it was none other than Cougar. Cougar looked strangely at Mimori. He was going to grin widely when he came to 3 important realizations.

She was in Ryuhou's room.

Holding a tray of cinnamon rolls.

Wearing nothing but one of Ryuhou's jackets.

"M-Miss Minori!" He said, his voice full of shock. From the expression on his face she could tell that he was taken aback by something.

"It's Mimori," She corrected him, giving him a slight glare.

"MIRI!" Ryuhou shouted.

"Yah?" She replied, answering to her name.

"You let him say your name wrong!" Cougar protested. "Why can't I call you Mimori?"

"Because the name he used is one he used for a reason, not because he always gets my name wrong."

"Is the word Miri?" Ryuhou asked.

Mimori laughed. "Yes that's the word, here you go!"

Cougar was in shock. "You…you cooked for him? Why don't you ever cook for MEEEEE?" He pouted.

Ryuhou now stood at the doorway next to Mimori. "Is there an actual reason you're here Cougar?"

"I wanted to ask you what Commander wanted, but now I want to know why Mimori's here!"

"Neither of those issues are of your concern," Ryuhou glared at Cougar and shut the door, leaving a very shocked and disturbed Cougar in the hallway. He turned to Mimori. "you should really be getting back to your room, it's late and if anyone else walks in and sees your attire I'm positive that they will react just as bad, if not worse, than Cougar." Mimori didn't understand him at all. First he wants her to cook for him, now he's making her leave? "I appreciate the foos Mimori, I'll see you at 5:00 for training."

"Umm you mean 5:00 as in the 5:00 pm right?"

"No 5:00 am, you don't want anyone else finding out about your alter power do you?"

"Well no…."

"Then I'll see you then." He pushed her out of his room and shut the door. Mimori walked to her room and changed. 'I wonder how Scheris is doing….'

Scheris, still in bed, opened a letter from the Commander. She read it carefully, and when she was done with it her eyes widened. "RYUHOU!"
