Chapter 10

Two days would pass.

Calypso explained that her master has been very busy. "He said bluntly, 'is the dragon wounded, in constant pain or agony? If the answer is no, it can wait' sorry father," she said.

Things at home have not gotten better either. Toshi's appetite is getting a little out of hand at the moment. Just the other night, he was 'helping' bring out the dishes for dinner… but they were empty by the time he placed them on the table. He has been rather blunt in eating what he wants, and yet, the women were rather startled to it as well.

"This isn't like a male, well… it is like the males WE know, but not like the ones we have now." Said Ouida.

"Indeed, this is unacceptable…" Choso decreed.

BANG, BANG, BANG!

"What the hell…" muttered Noranso as he answered the door. Choso went to see for himself but paused oddly as Sukuna peered through.

"Where's Toshi?!" he demanded. "He hasn't been to the brewery!"

He suddenly invited himself in and peered down at Toshi. "What the hell is your excuse!" he demanded once more.

Toshi… froze. "I… I can't stand the smell inside. I'm sorry I am avoiding it, I just can't stand to be in there…"

Sukuna peered at him oddly. "Why are you wearing someone else's clothing? Not to mention, you look fuller in the face, are you getting fat?"

Toshi… peered away oddly.

"Whatever, you're lucky your brats pick up on it easily… You two, Tomorrow at the brewery!" he ordered.

"No problem!" the twins replied. It appears they are getting into the sake business as well.

With his peace spoken. Sukuna left to go have his dinner. "What a loud person…" Calypso said offhandedly.

Yet as Choso turned back around, he found Toshi… appear a little wild in his eyes. He turned and stared at the table before throwing himself on to it… devouring everything.

"TOSHI!" shouted Syrax.

None of the brothers could stop him, he took everything but… he wasn't satisfied. "More…" he said in a twisted and deprived tone. "I WANT MORE!"

It startled everyone, Eso and his sons did their best to feed him, but it still wasn't enough. An hour would pass when he started to snarl. "MORE!" he roared.

"You ate everything!" Junpei shouted.

Toshi then stormed out of the house in a hurry. "What the hell…" muttered Sanso. "He's NEVER like this!"

"We have to find him before he hurts himself or someone else." Choso announced.

It became a pre dinner hunter. They had to find Toshi!

Sukuna was about to sit down and have his meal.

Chusi and his son Ryoto already ate, he did join them for dinner, however, was still hungry by the end of it all. But there was also something he had been working on all day.

He never considered cooking a whole hog in the ground. His time with Muta was not in vein as he learned of the Internet. That was where Sukuna learned of this cooking method. This was a delicacy from a place called Hawaii. They call it kalua pig, but he didn't realize that people cooked their food in the ground over smoldering rocks.

So he tried it out.

He just unearthed the first hog and licked his lips to it. "That skin is crisp and perfect…" he was admiring his own culinary skills when he heard a sharp snarling. Peering up, he saw Toshi glaring at him, but his eyes soon turned to the hog.

"I figured it would come to this, fine. Don't say I didn't do anything for you brat!" he reluctantly stepped aside as Toshi smelt the meat, then… well… even Sukuna was disturbed by what he saw. Toshi tore into that like a wild animal, but never wasted a single scrap of the meat, hell, even the bone vanished from sight as he devoured it all.

"Glad I knew to do more than one hog…" he muttered. The beast was a monster, recently hunted out in the countryside along with a massive drove of swine. Toshi wasted little time in devouring a four hundred pound hog.

He appeared to settle a little, he wasn't as wild in his eyes and yet, he still looked hungry. "Was I ever like this?" Sukuna paused to consider his past but shrugged his shoulders to it all. "Whatever, you want more, help me unearth the next one."

Toshi was coherent enough to do so, they took out another hog but this time, he only took half. Sukuna got the other half and was picking away at his when Toshi finally regained himself after eating his fill. He was taking deep breaths, but appeared startled to his actions.

"What… what the hell happened to me? I… I couldn't control myself…"

"Yeah, you did look a little… me like." Sukuna said offhandedly between mouthfuls. But he noticed something odd about him. "You've put on weight, and just after eating a hog, you gained more instantly… huh…" he got up from the table and took out a bottle. He poured a drink before bringing it over and suddenly placing it under Toshi's nose.

"BLEH! WHAT IS THAT!?"

Sukuna peered at the drink before he gulped it. "Our award winning Sake." He explained. "So, THAT'S what's wrong with you."

"What do you mean?"

"FATHER! FATHER WHERE ARE YOU!" Kota was calling out.

"HE'S OVER HERE BRAT!"

Kota soon appeared along with Kaito, Syrax and Choso.

"Little brother… what happened?" Choso asked gently.

Toshi peered away embarrassed. "I… I don't know… I'm so sorry for my actions…"

"Don't hold it against him." Sukuna said. "He's like that since he was hungry, he's hungry because he's pregnant"

Sukuna took a moment to savor the startled looks from everyone. "What did you just say?" Toshi asked in disbelief.

"I am certain you heard me the first time. You're pregnant. Look brat, I know, since when your woman became pregnant, and the others… none could stand the smell of sake. The same thing that happened to them, is happening to you. Using that method, I began to realize what was wrong with you since, you said you smelt something rancid at the brewery. I didn't think much of it until you started to avoid the place, and just now. You smelt our best brewed sake and wanted to be sick. You and I drank this ALL the time, like hell you would turn your nose up at it."

No one moved still, no one said a word. But, Toshi looked sick. "So, with that in mind, would you clear out so I can finish my dinner?"
