As always read and review!

Enjoy the story!

"Transforming Furikake Gohan" when she uttered those words, Soma gained a small grin on his face and said mentally,

"She finally remembers me"

Just as Erina was about to speak, Soma gently placed a bowl of piping hot rice with a side bowl filled with to an outsider, what appeared to be ordinary scrambled eggs, but Erina knows better.

"Do you really think Erina-sama would approve of eating this?"

"Do it, pour it over the rice"

Hisako flinched back at the soft and tender sounding voice of her mistress. As she turned towards Erina, she gasped at the look her mistress was giving the dish that normally she would throw into the trash without a second thought.

Erina was looking at the bowl of rice with eagerness and hunger.

What was it about this boy that made her mistress want to eat such a simple looking dish?

What happened next was magical, when Soma poured the bowl with eggs onto the rice, Hisako saw small brown looking gelatinous substances, that she had not seen before, melting, releasing an incredible rich smell of chicken, at the same time, coating the rice and eggs making the dish look incredibly appetizing to the eye.

When Erina went and took a small bite, she smiled and started to eat more of it. Hisako stood at the side in bewilderment, thinking, "why is Erina-sama enjoying this dish so much. Isn't it just a plebian dish?"

As Erina ate the dish, she looked at Soma with a loving look in her eyes.

-Flashback to when they were five years old-

A five-year-old Nakiri was seated next to her grandfather, Nakiri Senzaemon, watching their new chef, Saiba Joichiro, along with his son, Yukihira Soma, cook in the kitchen. She watched them with large curious eyes wondering how someone her age, could be cooking in the kitchen with a chef that even her grandfather approved of. She quickly dismissed his cooking as nothing worthy to eat.

She could not help but be curious at what little Soma was making as she watched him chop the onions with care and precision and could not help but ask, "Ano Soma-kun, what are you making?" Erina giggled as Soma jumped in fright as he did not notice her creep up behind him.

He took a couple deep breaths and said with a large grin on his face "Furikake Gohan" before bursting out into laughter as Erina face faulted and screamed, "how dare you make me something that is meant for poor people with no culinary tastes!"

Soma simply replied, "this isn't an ordinary Furikake Gohan Hime-sama, you will have to wait to find out what's so special about it." Before turning back to the counter top to continue preparing his ingredients.

-Flashback end-

Erina was brought out of her daydream when Hisako started snapping her fingers in front of her face trying to get her attention. "Yes Hisako, what seems to be the problem?"

"Erina-sama, you were looking off into space, are you feeling alright? Was there something in the dish that upset you?" asked a concerned Hisako.

Erina quickly shook her head in disagreement saying "no, I was just reminiscing to when I first tasted this dish, a dish that was made specially for me by my then friend, now fiancé" before quickly covering her mouth alarmed that she had just blurted out her greatest secret to the world.

Hisako's jaw dropped in shock that her best friend/mistress was engaged, without her knowing about it. She could not but feel a little hurt that Erina did not trust her enough to share that information with her. She quickly shook that feeling off before exclaiming, "You, engaged, wha… w-when was this! Who are you engaged to? Why didn't you tell me? Did you not trust me?"

Hisako's questions hit Erina like a freight train and looked down in guilt that she did not tell her best friend that she was engaged for so many years. Just as she was about to reply to Hisako, she felt two arms hug her from behind and a hot breath next to her ear saying,

"Let's see, we got engaged when we were five, it was an arranged marriage that her grandfather and my father made, Erina didn't tell you because she wasn't allowed to and to answer your final question, she trusts you, but this is, well was, a family secret." Soma nudged Erina at his last line, who in turn, turned away with a blush on her face pouting at him.

Soma simply laughed, kissed her forehead and said, "Erina-chan, you're as tsundere as ever, and your pout is cuter then from when we were kids."

Erina, blushing up a storm, elbowed him before huffing out, "and you're still the same idiot from back then, lets go Hisako, I have to report to Ojii-sama that one idiot managed to pass my entrance exam"

Hisako somehow managed to break out of her daze and quickly followed Erina out of the room, not before taking a brief glance back at Soma in confusion then following Erina out.

When they entered Erinas study, Hisako could not help but blurt out, "Erina-sama, is that b-boy really your fiancé? I mean, if he was, how did you not recognize him until the end?"

Erina took a moment to compose herself, she turned to look out the window before replying in a soft tone, "yes, Yukihira Soma is in fact my fiancé." Erina took a short breath before continuing, "It's been around ten years since I last saw my fiancé. He left with his father to travel the world when we were six. He has changed in more ways then I can count. However, he still has the same confidence that endures you to him, he still has that stupid grin of his, his hair is messy as always and his eyes are still the same golden color that I find myself getting lost in."

Hisako was surprised at the soft tone that her mistress used to describe Soma. She gave Erina a soft smile saying, "You sure love him a lot, don't you?" making herself comfortable in the chair opposite Erina's. Erina nodded her head hesitatingly blushing, "mhm I do love Soma-kun". Hisako grinning playfully said, "I need to hear more about this Soma that managed to snag your heart."

Erina turned around with a resigned and embarrassed look on her face and said "Hai, I guess I owe you that much. I'll tell you the story of how Soma and I came to be engaged." At the same time, Soma was conversing with Nakiri Senzaemon in his office.

:o what is Director-sama and Soma talking about?

Stay tuned for the story between Soma and Erina :3

I will try to upload the next chapter in the next couple of days!

As always, read and review. Ja ne
