Chapter 8 (I am not sure I want to go home now…)
Cody wakes up at about 7:30 and was going to make some breakfast when he finds that Chizuru is already awake… "Ohhh… something smells good…" He gets out of bed and goes to the kitchen to help Chizuru and finds her sitting at the table, legs crossed, her white button up shirt unbuttoned so her chest is exposed and she is sipping warm milk. Her hair is very messy and her eyes are still droopy. Cody sits down at the table, too asleep to realize her lack of clothes. "Morning Chizuru… what's for breakfast?" Chizuru realizes, but keeps her composure. "Eggs and toast… hey could you go grab a loaf of bread out of my pantry around the corner?" "Sure…" Cody stumbles over to the pantry still asleep. Chizuru fumbles with the buttons on her shirt and pushes the shirt down to cover her thighs. 'At least I wore a bra… I hope he didn't see…' Chizuru blushes embarrassed at her thoughts. Cody returns with the bread slightly more awake from the movement to the pantry. "Here is the bread…" "Thanks…" Chizuru runs her hands through her hair to make it look appealing. Chizuru asks him how he likes his eggs and he stops her shaking his head. "You go take a shower or whatever you need to do… I can make the eggs it is the least I can do after all you let me stay with you…" Chizuru blushes when Cody strokes her hair out of her face. He leans in towards her and their lips interlock. She changes the position a couple of times then gently breaks off the kiss. She turns to head toward the shower, but he still has a hold of her hand. He brushed her fingers gently then let go to open the fridge. Chizuru closes the bathroom door and undresses to begin taking a shower. She brings her hand toward the door to lock it then pulls away and turns on the water. She closes the shower door and lets the warm water envelop and embrace her. Meanwhile, Cody is in the kitchen making eggs and toast. 'Shoot! I forgot to ask her how she likes her eggs.' He moves toward the door and hears that the water is still running. He knocks and the water is shut off. "Yes?" Cody can sense the embarrassment in her voice. "How do you like your eggs?" Chizuru laughs a little. "I like them fried with the yolk runny in the middle." Cody pulls his fist down in a gesture of epic winning. "Thanks…" Cody returns to the kitchen to make sure that the eggs are ready. They cook in a few minutes and look scrumptious. He puts toast down in the toaster and that pops moments later golden, brown. Cody sets everything down on the table just as Chizuru emerges from the bathroom. She is brushing her beautiful, blonde locks and she sits down at the table noting the very well cooked breakfast. She takes a bite and soon she is eating faster than she normally would because the meal is so delicious. "Wow… I had no idea you could cook. You will make a great husband and father someday…" Chizuru immediately blushes at her statement and is about to explain when there is a knock at the door. Chizuru heads to the door and opens it to find Leaf in the entryway with Moka and Haruhi waiting outside the porch. They both exchange glances of rivalry toward each other. Sigh, is my brother up yet?" As she lingers in the entryway, she catches a whiff of the air. Must be you made my brother your slave. Chizuru gets a glint in her eyes at the comment, but says nothing." Cody appears at the door with toast in his mouth and he muffles something to Leaf. "Murf muff miff mff." Leaf looks irritated. "Take the toast out of your mouth, Baka!" Chizuru snaps to face her. "He said, he isn't working on anything today he just wants a break and wants to hang out with me." Cody nods his head then grabs Chizuru's hand and pulls her away from the door as he starts to shut it. Leaf jams her foot in the door and says a comment that belittles both Chizuru and Cody. "Get your ass out here! Haruhi and Moka need help! I will not let you make out or whatever the hell you're doing with that stupid skan…" Chizuru immediately opens the door and invites Leaf inside. "Ha, you misunderstand… we're finishing off breakfast and then I am off to work. You should sit down while your brother gets his things. Would you like some coffee?" Leaf is wary, but Chizuru's fake smile wins her over. "Sure, cream and sugar would be nice if you have it." Chizuru spins on her heels and a malicious grin shows on her face. Moments later Chizuru brings the coffee prepared just the way Leaf wants and sits down across from her with her own coffee. Leaf does not touch her cup. Chizuru sips hers and then leafs through a fashion catalog circling a couple of blouses and some lacy, white lingerie. Leaf finally picks up her coffee and takes a sip of it. She waits then sips it again. Chizuru looks up. "Did you think I poisoned it or something?" "No, I just thought maybe you would try to drug me." Chizuru smirks and looks up at Leaf. "That wouldn't be very host-like of me to do such a thing." Leaf looks over at Chizuru and then is engulfed by a deep, void of darkness.
One word: Baka... nuff said :p Please let me know what you think!
