Chapter Four - Tohru's kitchen and embarrassing Kyo

 

Tohru smiled as she sat the milk with Kyo's name written on it on the counter next to her as he came back from his run. She had bought two cartons to save Yuki and Kyo from fighting. “Morning Kyo. Did you enjoy your run?”

“Yeah, it wasn't too bad. I'm gonna go get dried off then I'll come give you a hand.”

“Okay.” She smiled in greeting to each member in the house, all of them sticking their head into the room, knowing that only Kyo was allowed in the kitchen when Tohru began cooking.

Kyo came back down just as Kazuma arrived. “Hey Master. Breakfast will be ready soon.”

“Hello Kyo. So which room am I in?”

“Hello Master. I put you and Kyo together, so it's the room at the end of the hall on the left.”

“Good morning Tohru. I hope Kyo isn't taking his temper out on you too much.”

Tohru giggled. “No, his self control is a lot better. Besides he always immediately apologises if he does.”

Kazuma smiled. “With you by his side I have no doubt that he will improve his self control greatly.”

“Master…HE is here.”

“Don't worry Kyo, I don't think he'll cause a scene.”

“I hope you're right.”

“Morning Rei. Enjoy your sleep last night?” Hatori asked casually.

“It was fine.”

They looked up at him as he made his way towards the kitchen.

“I wouldn't go in here if I were you. Tohru's in the process of making breakfast.” Shigure warned, smiling slightly.

Rei yawned tiredly. “Whatever. I need coffee.”

“Bad move.” Hatsuharu told him, as he slid the door open and entered.

Tohru and Kyo turned at the sound of the door opening and Kyo immediately returned back o what he was doing. Tohru however frowned and walked over to him and began pushing him out of the kitchen causing a few of the older Sohmas to smile slightly as they watched as Rei was pushed out of the kitchen.

“No one but Kyo is allowed in here while I'm cooking. Now stay out!” She closed the door behind him then returned to cooking breakfast.

“Is she alwa…”

“When she's in the kitchen making breakfast, lunch, dinner or making treats for everyone yes, she is. Tohru's hobby is cooking and she is exceptional at it. Kyo's the only one she'll even let in the kitchen without permission while she's cooking.” Shigure informed him.

“As if anyone would trust him making their…” He was cut off by one of the villa servants.

“Excuse me but there's a group of rather yakuza looking men here looking for a Kitten Onigiri.”

Tohru stuck her head out of the kitchen. “Did one of them call himself White Wolf or Royal Hawk?”

“Uh yes.”

“What the devil are the Boys doing here? Kyo can you finish up in here please?”

“Sure.”

She wiped her hands on her apron then walked to greet `The Boys'.

“Why do I get the feeling we're missing something?”

“Kyo, you wanna go to the tourn?” Tohru called out from the front hall.

“Yeah, got nothin' else to do. Hey, are the guys stayin' for breakfast?”

“No, they've gotta go help set up for the tourn.”

“Okay, well breakfast is ready.” He started to carry the trays of food out, setting them on the table, avoiding Rei as much as he could.

Tohru walked back into the room, dropping the large black sports bag, near the kitchen door. “Wow Kyo. I think I might have to get you to set the table all the time.”

“Tohru, who were…” Shigure started before Tohru cut him off.

“Just some of my mother's old gang members checking up on me and invite all of us to the tourn here just outside of the town, not too far from here.”

“What's with the sports bag?” Hiro asked curiously.

“White Wolf made me some new clothes as a kinda late birthday present. I had to go for a remeasure the other day. So you wanna go? It'll be a lot of fun.”

“Sure. So what time does this thing start?” Arisa asked. “And why'd they call you `Kitten Onigiri'?”

“About two thirty in three weeks from today and you'll probably find out later.”

“Wow Tohru! You and Kyo made all this?!” Momiji asked, his eyes widened at the food.

“Uh-huh. Some of them are recipes that Kyo's tried for me while Shigure and Yuki were away the other week. And I think Ayame and Master and Kunimitsu tried some as well.”

“So Orange top can cook huh?”

“So what? Unlike Yuki and Master, I don't char grill everything to charcoal.”

“He's great at making leek rice porridge for me too, whenever I end up sick with a cold or something.”

“It's still pretty crap compared to your cooking Kitten.”

“Kitten? Now why would you call…”

Tohru looked directly at Rei, her blue eyes burning. “Because I've always been the `Year of the Cat' fan club as Kyo puts it and I've always loved cats. Besides, he picked up the nickname from my mother's friends. And I don't mind in the slightest if he calls me it.”

“Kyo, did you make this bacon and onion omelette?” Kazuma asked.

“Yeah, why?”

“Because it's almost completely indistinguishable from Tohru's cooking. You're still improving.”

Kyo felt his cheeks colour and he looked at Kazuma happily. “Really?!”

Kazuma laughed and nodded. “You know Tohru, I may be his idol in martial arts but you are definitely his idol when it cooks to cooking.”

Tohru giggled at a now fully embarrassed Kyo. “He's definitely got a career in hospitality going for him. As well as martial arts.”

“Well they say it's good to have a well rounded education.”

Tohru and Kazuma laughed at the now reddened Kyo who was embarrassed and honoured by their praises, considering they were the two most important people in his life. Breakfast continued with light conversation and planning of the day's activities.
