Hey there! ^_^ I received my first review and, luckily, it was positive. Thank you so much xfireflyskyx for the positive review! Now I hope you all enjoy this chapter! Bye!
Winter's POV
He growls. "What?"
I shake my head and wipe away a non-existent tear. "Nothing. Nothing." I say and grin, striding to the table where Ukobach was. He smiles at me and holds out a plate. It has chocolate covered strawberries on it. I feel my mouth instantly water. "Ukobach, just how do you do it?" I ask before patting him on the head and going for a strawberry. The sound of a throat clearing stops me. I glance up to see Rin looking at me with an expectant look. "What?" I ask.
"You're not going to eat one of those." He says and I glare at him. "Dinner and then dessert. Duh." He says, grin growing on his face.
I sigh. "Okay, then," I start and walk over to him. "What's for dinner?" I ask and look over his shoulder to try and get a peek. He steps over, blocking my view.
"It's a surprise." He informs with a smile. "Now go away. I'm not done yet and I can't cook with ya breathing down my neck." He winks.
I sigh before walking back over to Ukobach. He had set the plate of strawberries down and was making me a drink now. I sit down and wait for him to be done. Once he is, he brings the cup over to me. The liquid in the drink was an orange color and reminded me of the sunset. "What is it?" I ask and Ukobach smiles.
'Just drink it.' His voice rings in my head.
I take a sniff and the smell of fruit hits me. "Fine." I say and take a small sip of the mysterious liquid. Instantly, a burst of flavor hits my mouth. It tastes like all the fruit in the world in one cup. It was heavenly. I gently set the cup down and look at Ukobach.
He stares back at me. 'Do you like it?' he asks me and I smile.
"Are you kidding me? It was amazing! It tastes like all the fruits in the world mushed together!" I exclaim, picking him up and spinning him around. "What was it?" I ask eagerly.
'A secret.' He says and I stop spinning.
"You all and your damn secrets." I mutter under my breath and turn to look at Rin; who was already looking at me. He smirks and turns back to the kitchen. "You really won't tell me what it is?" I pry and Ukobach shakes his head. "Fine. Whatever." I say and slump down in my chair, crossing my arms as I do so.
Then, a plate of curry and rice is set down in front of me. Immediately, I sit up and look at it with interest. It smelled amazing and it looked how it smelt. Rin sits down across from me with a plate of his own. Except his food was piled as high as a mountain. I stare at his plate, my mouth wide. He looks back at me. "What?" he asks like I was acting weird.
I point to his plate. "Are you serious?" I ask.
He grins. "I'm a growing boy." He says and I laugh.
"True. Point to you." I say, looking back at my own plate with desire. "Wait. Where's Yukio?" I ask and Rin grimaces.
"It took him about an hour to explain you living with us to the others. Then he got a call. He's on a mission, now." He explains, clapping his hands together before picking up a fork and shoveling the food in his mouth. I watch him as he do this for a second before picking up my own fork and digging in myself. It was amazing.
"This…is amazing." I breathe and look up at Rin in disbelief. "You made this." I say, suspicion in my tone.
Rin rolls his eyes. "Yes. I made it." He confirms, annoyance evident. "Tch. Think just 'cuz I'm a guy that means I can't cook?" he asks and I nod.
"Honestly? Yes," I say and shove another spoonful in my mouth while he shakes his head.
"Oi, Ukobach, come and try this." He calls and a second later, the little cooking demon appears; a spoon in hand.
He walks over to my plate and looks up at me. 'Can I?' He asks and I nod my head.
"Sure, go ahead." I say and he takes a little bit of rice and curry off my plate. Silently, he puts the spoon in his mouth. After a minute of complete silence, he turns back to Rin and gives a thumbs up.
'It's good.' His tiny voice says with confirmation. Rin grins at his words and laughs.
"Great. Well, I'm done. How 'bout you, Winter?" Rin asks and I blink. Glancing down at his plate, I see that he's already done.
"How the hell are you already done?" I ask dubiously and he laughs.
"How are you not?" He counters and I cross my arms.
"Touché." I say.
He shrugs. "Guess I'll have to eat all the chocolate covered strawberries myself." I snap my head up to stare at his now standing figure before shoveling the rest of the curry in my mouth and standing up. It takes me a second to swallow it all but I finally manage to. I cough, finally able to breathe again. Ukobach hands me the orange drink again. His yellow eyes worried. I smile and take a sip of the delicious drink before standing up with my plate.
"Done." I breathe and look at Rin. His face was slack with shock.
"You really like chocolate covered strawberries huh?" He asks and I grin and nod. "Well give me your plate and I'll put 'em up. Ukobach, can you get the strawberries?"
Ukobach nods and disappears before reappearing a second later with the plate of strawberries in his hands. I smile and give my plate to Rin before sitting down. They looked delicious. They were covered in milk chocolate with white chocolate drizzled on the top of them. And they didn't have any leaves on them, either. I feel my mouth start to water. "They look so yummy." I whisper to Ukobach and feel Rin's eyes on me as he sits back down across from me. Ukobach smiles.
"Are ya gonna eat one or not?" Rin asks me and I cut him a quick glare before looking back at the strawberries.
Slowly, I stab one with a toothpick and bring it to my lips. Popping the whole thing in my mouth, my eyes widen. It was absolutely delicious. I chew and swallow. "Ukobach," I breathe and pick up the small demon. "They're amazing!" I exclaim and hug him. "You're such an amazing cook!" I say and squeeze him before putting him back down on the table. A blush tints his cheeks and he looks back down at the table.
Rin rolls his eyes before popping one in his mouth. "She's right. They're good." He talks around the food in his mouth.
Ukobach smiles widely. 'Thank you.'
Okay. I tried to make this chapter long and I hope it is long enough for you guys. I will probably post another chapter later tonight because I won't be able to post for the next two days. Please leave a review on what you think. Thanks a lot. Bye!
