DISCLAIMER: I do not own Toriko. But god I wish I did.


Chapter 2

***Komatsu's POV***

He couldn't believe it, why does everyone keep asking him to be in a combo with them, first it was Toriko who he wanted to be with, and then Zebra asked, he's pretty sure that Sani had hinted to it many times, and then Starjun wanted him and now the leader of the Bishokukai Midora wanted him too. Why? He never really thought he was that good of a chef, even if Toriko had told him otherwise many times along with the others, he still never thought he was that good of a chef.

Komatsu didn't really know what he should say to Midora, because he clearly wasn't asking him to form a combo; no he was telling him that they were in a combo from now on. Komatsu looked at Midora who was sitting on his bed and just said the first thing that came to mind, "I'm nowhere near a good enough of a cook to be your Combo partner."

Midora smiled at him, "On the contrary, you're the best chef that I've seen in a very long time, the rest of the chefs here are nothing compared to you."

Komatsu looked down, "Why does everyone always say that?"

Midora crossed his legs, "Because it's the truth."

Komatsu sighed, "It can't be, I mean I'm just a small little weakling."

Midora looked at Komatsu, who was acting weird compared to usual, "From what I was told you can use the dark techniques too, which means that you are definitely not a weakling, if you weren't an amazing cook then you wouldn't be able to settle my hunger."

Komatsu was confused by what he had just heard, he looked up and saw a face that was sad, "What do you mean by that?"


***Midora's POV***

He didn't think that the small chef actually thought about these kind of things, but surprisingly the small chef did; and he was a lot more self conscious then he looked, Midora had only ever seen the kid smile so this had actually surprised him quite a bit, " I mean that ever since Frohze died my hunger has never gone away, no matter what I ate it wouldn't stop, but the puffer whale you made earlier for not being a very high levelled ingredient, you just made it taste so good, It actually was able to stop my hunger."

With that Komatsu just looked at Midora with a worried face, Midora was surprised that he reacted that way, "How could you handle that, it would be horrible to always be hungry?"

Midora looked away not answering the small cook, Komatsu sat down beside the much larger man, "I can't imagine how hard everyday life would be for you, food is everything in this world right now and always being hungry would be the worst, the best feeling is a full stomach in my opinion."

Midora hid his smile by looking even farther away, this kid was actually getting to him, he was the first person he enjoyed being with for a long time. He hadn't felt this way since Frohze was alive, and it was something that he realized then that he truly missed, "I agree."


***Starjun's POV***

It had been 3 days since he left, and the mission was over now. Finally he was back at the base, now first thing he had to do was go pick up Komatsu from Midora, so he went to where Midora usually was and couldn't find them. Then he looked around the base, they were nowhere to be seen, and after looking for so long he decided to go get something to eat from his kitchen since he was hungry and it's not like Komatsu was in danger or anything if he was with the boss.

So he headed to the kitchen, when he got inside he saw Komatsu at the counter and Midora sitting at the table well Komatsu talked to him. Komatsu was talking about when he had gone with Toriko to find the Century soup, and Midora was just sitting there listening to the small chef. Starjun went up to Komatsu, "What are you guys doing?"

They both looked at him and Komatsu just said, "Making Midora something to eat, he said he was hungry."

Starjun could only think damn it in his head; this was the worst case scenario he didn't want Midora to learn about Komatsu's true ability to cook. Midora knew Komatsu was a cook but didn't know how good of a cook he was when Starjun had brought him, Starjun was sure that he had made sure they just though he was obsessed with the kid himself, damn it. Midora looked at him, "The kids amazing, he can actually settle my hunger."

Starjun looked at Midora surprised and then at Komatsu, he knew the kid was good but not that good, this was definitely a surprise to him, Komatsu pulled a tray from the oven and divided the food with them having most just leaving a little bit for himself. Starjun sat down and both, him and Midora began to eat. Komatsu sat down to eat after he did most of the dishes; Starjun fished pretty fast and then looked at Komatsu, "Amazing."


***Toriko's POV***

They were still in the human world as they had been stopped by Mansam calling the stupid because they suddenly had decided out of nowhere to suddenly charge in to the Gourmet world after Komatsu. Toriko, Sani, Zebra and Coco now sat in a room waiting for Mansam to come back from where he had gone in the middle of their conversation. When he got there he looked at them, "Why, would you suddenly decide to go like that, 2 of you are still seriously injured."

Toriko looked at Mansam mad, "Of course I was going they took Komatsu, I have to go get him back."

Mansam yelled at him, "I get that you idiots, but what are you going to do against all of the Bishokukai when you guys couldn't even beat Starjun and the few that were at the fest."

Toriko looked at him, "If we all fight together will win, we have to, we have to go get Komatsu before they do something to him."

Mansam looked at him, "What if Midora took a interest in your little chef huh what then, you'll be forcing Komatsu to watch you four be butchered if you fight him, he beat the president, so what do you guys think you could possibly do against him."

Toriko looked at him frustrated, "What do you expect us to do just sit here well they have Komatsu."

Mansam looked at him, "You know how good of a chef he is they won't do anything too him, Toriko you have to understand that if you go know it's just going to end up dead, you're not strong enough yet to challenge them."

Suddenly he felt someone watching them from the window of the room they were in; when Mansom saw who it was he was surprised, "Frohze... why are you here?"

Forhze jumped in to the room form his place on the window sill, "I came to get the small chef you were just talking about but it seems that you guys didn't get him back after Starjun had taken him."

Toriko yelled "What do you want with Komatsu?"

Forhze smiled at him, "He's the only person that can cook god right now, so of course I want him."

No one in the room had expected that, Mansum questioned him "What are you saying?"

Forhze sighed, "God, are you guys dumb, I'm saying that the only person alive now that will be able to cook god is that kid and you retards let him get taken by the enemy."

With that she left, no one interfered they were too shocked by what they had just been told by the woman. No one thought the small chef was at that level already.

Toriko looked at Mansum, "Can we go get him back now?"

Mansum looked out the window, "I think we don't really have the choice to wait now, now wonder she acted the way Setsuno had said at the fest, I didn't think he was at that level yet."

Toriko looked at Mansum, "I don't think he is; I think she'll have to teach him some more before he could cook it, but well I could always be wrong, His cooking is great."

Mansum looked at the door as Jirou came in to the room with Setsuno, "Why'd you stop them, they have to go get the kid back whether they want to or not if he's really the only person who can cook god."

Zebra turned to walk out, "I'm going to get the kid, I don't honestly care about god I just don't want my soon to be Combo partner in somebody else's hands."

Toriko looked at him, "Hey!"

Everyone turned to leave, Jirou and Setsuno followed closely behind them as they all walked to the exit, Mansum walked out of the room they had all just been in, "Where are you 2 going?"

Setsuno looked at him, "We can't let the younger generation do all the hard work, and there going to need the help to get Komatsu back anyways."

Jirou smiled, "So were going along for the ride; we leave the human world in your care."


***Komatsu's POV***

He was sitting alone in Starjun's room now, he had expected for Starjun and Midora to start bickering when Midora told Starjun about the Combo thing but they didn't instead they just left him there in the room. He sat their lonely, he really missed Toriko, he didn't really mind being here that much it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be and honestly he was treated extremely well by everyone since Midora's declaration, Yes he had called a meeting and told everyone a few days ago about them being in a Combo. Suddenly well he was thinking there was a knock on the door and he thought Starjun was back, but when the door opened and the person grabbed him it definitely wasn't Starjun.


***Starjun's POV***

When he entered the room something was definitely wrong, damn it. Komatsu was nowhere to be seen which definitely worried him, a lot. He checked all of the side rooms for the small chef just in case but he didn't find him anywhere. He quickly walked out of the room and headed to look for Komatsu.

He couldn't find the kid no matter where he looked, in the end he went to Midora to see if the kid had the guts to leave the room and had gone to see him. He wasn't their when he arrived to check, and when he told Midora the person stood up rather fast and went to the meeting room and called in all the leaders, when everyone was there they looked at him confused and he looked them straight in the eyes, "Who ever took Komatsu I give you 5 seconds to return him to me, If I have to go looking for him whoever took him or whoever's follower took him will be dead, and that persons boss will be severely punished for not controlling his mean."

Everyone in the room looked around but there was no answer from anyone about what had happened, Midora just looked at everyone pissed off as suddenly the door opened and Komatsu came in with Ootake, Komatsu looked at Starjun and Midora, "No one took me I was with Ootake, and we were just talking in his room since I didn't know if Starjun wanted visitors in his, I even left a note."

Midora looked at Starjun, "Really you didn't even check for that."

Starjun looked at Midora, "What's the first thing you would think after the first 2 attacks on his life."

Midora sighed, "Never mind that this never would have happened if he had his own room, why didn't you get him a room yet?"

Starjun sighed, "I asked you to give him the one beside mine when I brought him, but you said no to my request."

Midora sighed, "Never mind that just find him a decent room with a kitchen built in so he doesn't need to leave the room."

Starjun turned to leave, "I'll go look, Komatsu come on were leaving."

Komatsu ran up behind Starjun, "I'm coming."
