The Tasteless Chef

08

*Kiyoko's pov*

"The white queen is up against the white knight. How interesting."

"I know, who would have thought it would end like this so soon."

"I heard she only ever cooked the same meal when she cooks a food war. That honey lemon chicken she usually cooks. But recently she's been cooking other things to keep up with central. So she must not be that good."

"I heard she can't really cook. So shes probably just useless and its stupid for her to go against him."

I heard people talking about me while they entered the arena to watch us. It doesn't start for another 30 minutes but the crowd enters first.

"Eishi Tsukasa.." I said to myself and then i felt a hand on my shoulder. I nearly jumped. It was Eishi. "Did you need something?" He asked and i just blushed.

"Actually i did." He just looks down at me with a worried look on his face. "What is it? Are you feeling alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere? What happened?" He asked a million questions and i just giggled. "I'm fine. I was just curious on why you asked Isshiki to let me cook today?" I seen him blush slightly then look away from me.

"I knew you wanted to cook today so thats why I asked." I giggled how silly he can be. "I appreciate it Eishi. I always enjoyed cooking by your side, and I'll enjoy it today too. Even if it is against you." I go to walk away but he stopped me.

"I want you to make a deal with me right now. If I win you will be my girlfriend again and If you win i will call off central. We will all back down right now."

"Fine. You have a deal. But i don't plan on loosing. I don't want to let everyone down."

"Well then i guess i will give you some good luck." Then he leans down and kisses me. I was really surprised. He never has done anything like this.

I couldn't help it.. I kissed him back, his lips fell perfectly with mine just like they used to, and i fell victim to it, his soft lips molded with mine by each second passing and i hated but loved every second of it.

"Eishi. Why did you.. I um. I slept with Isshiki." I confessed to my dirty sins. This always happens i can't lie to him. "I slept in his room with him last night and i had to tell you so you wouldn't be mad at me."

"I don't care."

"Y-You dont??" I asked her nods with a smile.

"That's because I love you." my eyes go wide. He just said he loves me..

I can't focus. We already started the food war, but i can't focus. Eishi said he loves me.. And.. I just, cant focus. We are picking out or ingredients and I'm just staring at Eishi.

"Hey are you okay? Did you need me to kiss you again or something?" I blinked a few times and looked at Soma.

"Uh... Um no. I just, actually yes i need to get my mind off something." Soma leans down and was about to kiss me but someone stopped him.

"I don't think this is the time to be kissing. Soma i will kill you if you don't stop flirting with this innocent girl!" Erina says pulling me away from soma. I giggled.

"But she asked me too!" Soma argued. "I don't care, she is a girl so leave her alone!" Erina says pushing me away from her to go get my things i just sighed.

'That's because I love you' his words linger in my head and i don't know what to do. I couldn't help but smile. I never would have thought he would ever say that to me.

"What is taking you so long?" Soma asked putting an arm around my shoulder. I just glanced up at him he is good looking.

"I'm just thinking about what I want to cook is all." He just nods. We head back to our stations and i just couldn't help but keep stealing glances at Eishi. He would smile at me and my heart would race.

Then I ended up cutting myself.

"mmfffpphh. Ouch!"  i said and send all the blood all over the food that i was cooking. Oh no. I'll have to start all over.

"Oh no looks like Kiyoko hurt herself."

"Kiyoko. Are you okay?" Soma asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'll be fine. I just need to start over is all, well after i wrap my arm up. " i took a towel and cut it into 2 strips one bigger and one smaller i wrapped the bigger around my cut and used the smaller one to secure it On.

I served my food after Eishi and nearly dropped it. I fell light headed.

"What exactly is this?" Anne asked.

"Its a— Kiyoko are you okay? You're pale." I looked at Eishi who cut me off and I just dropped to my knee. "Don't worry about me just taste the food i made." I said the judges nodded. I looked up at them and then stood up. Eishi walks over to me and helped me stand up fully.

"I'm fine Eishi." I state and pushed him away from me in which made me wince at my hurt arm. "You're not fine Kiyoko. You need to see a doctor." He grabbed my arm and pulls up me sleeve the towel i out on it earlier is soaked in my blood. Oops...

"Oh no, kiyoko. Why would you allow yourself to be this hurt? We need to leave now."

"No! Not until I beat you!" I said and watched the judges eat. Their reactions i didnt like them... Their not as strong as when they ate Eishi's food.

"The winner goes to Eishi Tsukasa and central!"

"I lost? how?"

"Let's just go. You need to see a doctor!" Eishi says worried.

"Fine." I said then Eishi picks me up bridal style and begins to carry me out of the room. I passed out.
