Hey Guys! So, I didn't put this part in the first chapter, so I'll do it here. Disclaimer: (I don't own Shokugeki no Soma)

Chapter 2

Dormmates

Fumio-san gasped. "Soma-kun? Is that you brat? What are you doing here?"

"Well Fumio-san I came to see you of course. You're still the same crabby old lady I see!" Soma chuckled.

"Listen here brat just because you were my old pupil it doesn't make it right for you to talk to me in any way. I'm still your senior and to stay here you've got to prepare a dish. Just like old times."

Soma chuckled and pulled is bandage wrap from around his arm to his head and said "Call down my new dormmates Fumio-san! I'll make them my Yukihira Diner Specialty Dish!"

Soma ran to the kitchen excited to cook for his dormmates. It was just like old times. Soma had forgotten to bring items to cook just like he did on his first day here. He thought back to when he cooked for the first time in Polar Star. He came with nothing in hand but was able to use what was left in the kitchen. Polar Star was a family and he couldn't wait to meet his new one.

One by one he heard his new dormmates rush down the stairs. There were a lot more than he had during his years at Totsuki. Soma looked up as the first student came into the kitchen. "Oi! I'm Yukihira S-."

"THE YUKIHIRA SOMA?! The second seat behind Erina-sama. Yukihira-san! It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Akira Namikaze and I specialize in smoked foods! I would love to learn from you. I look up to you almost as much as I look up to Ibusaki-san" Soma laughed. "Oi! Akira call me Soma-kun. No formalities I'm just your dormmate for a few weeks. It's great to have people that look up to me though." Soma gave a bright smile showing his pearly white teeth making Akira's cheeks go red.

"O-okay Soma-san" Akira's face continued to grow in color as she said Soma's name. "Ah youth" Soma thought. She reminded him of Megumi a bit.

Soma returned to cooking the dinner for Fumio-san and his new temporary dormmates as the rest of the students filed into the kitchen waiting in anticipation to meet the infamous Soma Yukihira.

"I heard we had a new dormmate Fumio-san but why is he so old?" a few other students nodded in agreement. They all stared at Soma with confused faces. "Fumio-san care to explain who I am to the 'youngsters' I'm only twenty-one I'm not that old."

"Why do I look so old?" Soma chuckled to himself. I'm only twenty-one. Was I really that disrespectful at their age. No way. Fumio-san looked over to the group of teens. "This is- "

"Yukihira Soma former second seat of the Elite Ten, named the most innovative, imaginative chef in Totsuki. He was tied for the first seat but gave it to Erina-sama. Failed to complete at Totsuki dropping out his senior year but, will forever remain a legend at Totsuki." That voice. It was Erina Nakiri's assistant. "H-Hisako-chan" Yukihira stuttered his eyes as wide as an orange. "What are you doing here? I thought you'd be with Erina-chan. H-How is she?"

Soma gave a worried glare at Hisako when she ushered his new dormmates out the room. "Students, please sit at the dining table. Soma and I must catch up for a bit. It's been a while. I know you have questions but, save it for Soma-san. Hisako smiled at the group of still confused teens as they walked out to the dining room.

Hisako walked back into the kitchen as Soma began to plate his dish. He looked up from his work meeting Hisako's eyes. He became serious once more. "Hisako, where's Erina? More importantly is she doing okay?"

Hisako didn't respond instead she gave Soma a heated glare. A look that could kill him if it had the chance. This was all his fault.

Soma stared back at Hisako with the same worried and confused glare. "Yukihira, where have you been? After you left there was just silence. Nothing. No calls or texts to show that you were okay. Erina gave up. You hurt her more than you know Soma. She needed you!" Hisako started to tear up. "Soma she's changed, it's as if she's lost her inspiration for cooking and for living. I- I don't know what to do Soma. I'm scared. What if one day she just ended everything? She's my best friend I can't lose her."

Soma walked up to Hisako putting his arms around her as she continued to sob for her friend. Soma was speechless, he didn't know what to do. He knew he had to go see her but its been so long. He didn't think he affected her this much. They parted ways and it wasn't on good terms. Soma wanted to travel and Erina wanted to start a restaurant with him. But he just couldn't give up his dream. Now he's back and unsure of what he wanted to do.

Soma put his hands-on Hisako's shoulders and put her at arm's length staring into her brown eyes with a determined expression.

"Hisako I'm so sorry. I wanted to contact her I really did. I just didn't think she'd want to talk to me not after what I did. I just upped and left. I felt like I was hurting her by being here. I've thought of her everyday since and I've never felt so sorry for leaving. She deserves better than me. I should have stayed. I know that now. I let my blind ambition get in between us. Forgive me Arato-san!" Soma now in tears bowed to Hisako. He was hurting just as much as Erina had been. They were both too blind to see that they were meant for each other.

Hisako smiled, shaking her head. "Soma pick your head up. You both were stupid. But, you're not stupid high school kids anymore. Pick yourself up and fix things between you too. You both deserve happiness as much as the next person. She needs you Soma."

He needed to see her. After everything they've been through he couldn't just let it end here. Erina deserved the world.

Soma looked up at Hisako with the same determined look but shared a small smile. "Hisako I'll see her tonight. I don't want to go now it's too early. I feel that if I went now she'd shun me away. As I remember she can't be seen with a lowly commoner. Leave her balcony open tonight. Please Hisako." Hisako chuckled "Oh Yukihira-san you've surely grown up since I last saw you. Go get her."

"Hai and hey! I was always grown up. I'm Yukihira Soma the infamous diner chef." Soma said as he pointed to his chest and stood proudly.

"Yeah I spoke too soon. Erina-sama would most definitely push you through her window tonight. I guarantee it." Hisako was laughing now. She missed their playful banter. It had been years since anyone had seen him. She missed this.

"Ha ha ha Hishoko laugh it up. Now help me put out the plates. Those brats are probably hungry." He smirked as he saw Hisako's eye twitch at his use of her name. His smirk turned into laughter as she threw the nearest dish at his head.

"Yukihira Soma! My name is H-I-S-A-K-O. Get it through that thick skull of yours. Since you don't know how to say my name you can bring these plates out yourself. I expect my own plate as well." Hisako said walking through the kitchen door to join his new dormmates.

Soma chuckled. She was still the same stuck up assistant, but he wouldn't change her for the world. He had become pretty close to Hisako after their stagiaire during their first year. Their friendship became a bond and it would seem that it was still there.

Soma carried the plates to the table. Everyone was waiting patiently with anticipation. They would get to try the Great Yukihira's food. He smiled at the reactions of his fellow dormmates. The aroma that his food possessed knocked them off their feet. Even Hisako-chan couldn't believe how much his food had evolved. She didn't even taste it yet and it was already sweeping her off her feet.

Soma gave his usual trade mark grin and said "Happy to serve! Eat up guys." With Soma sitting at the head of the table they began to dig in. The look on everyone's faces as they took a bite of Yukihira's food was one of admiration. No one had ever tasted anything like it.

Fumio-san could feel her heart stop. It was remarkable. Soma had defeated Saiba Joichiro with flying colors. He was no longer a second-rate chef. He was a God in the food industry. One that could change food forever. It was the Yukihira Revolution.

Hisako now knew Erina would never stand a chance against him. Even with Erina's God's tongue, she could no longer beat him. He had evolved into a God. She smiled to herself. Hisako knew if anyone could save Erina it would be him.

After dinner Soma talked with his new dormmates. They were interesting, and he could see the talent. But something was missing. Soma couldn't put a finger on it, but it was different from his days as a student. He knew he would have to ask Fumio-san later.

His day was an emotional rollercoaster and it still wasn't done yet. He would have to face her for the first time in years. Soma was terrified. She was his everything, but he broke her heart.

Soma frowned as he was suddenly shaken from his thoughts. Hisako had been trying to get his attention. Worried she said "Yukihira-kun are you okay?" Truth is Soma didn't know if he was. So Soma simply nodded and said that he was going to take a nap before he went out again, gaining a nod from Hisako as she turned to leave.

Hisako turned briefly saying "It was nice seeing you Soma-kun get some rest. You're going to need it." She winked turning back to the door. Leaving Soma to his thoughts as he climbed the steps to his old room.

Soma arrived at his door excited to get some shut eye before he went to see Erina. Opening the door to his room he looked around as the memories started to poor back into him. It was just as he left it. He missed this place. This was his home.

Soma too tired to do anything else smiled as he hit the bed. "Soon" he whispered. Soon he'd be able to see her.
