The Monster Inside (AoKaga)

Assignment

Two weeks had passed since the opening ceremony and what Kagami calls the most embarrassing moment of his life. Thankfully it had ended as well as it could have because he didn't have his life cut short by Captain Aida. Just thinking back on it gave him the chills.

Right after the morning drills all the platoons dispersed to continue their own specialized training. Kagami was still in a daze after the fight so he didn't feel the intense presence behind him before he was tackled to the ground and put in a hold. "Gah~!" He screeched, manly like of course, much to the amusement of the others.

Aida was still on his back shouting at him, "You BAKA! Accidently interrupting the opening ceremony is one thing, but then purposely disrespecting the damn GENERAL!? Are you trying to get killed?" Kagami couldn't get out of the hold no matter what he did, but thankfully it didn't last long. He groaned once she got off, where the hell did all that strength come from? She had to be descended from gorillas.

When he peeled himself off the ground he faced her and sheepishly scratched the back of his head. "Uhh, sorry...ma'am."

She sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "What did I do to deserve a platoon of idiots?"

"HEY," Was the resounding chorus from the others.

"Kagami, you'll be tripling your training regiment. And you'll be joining the third years in sword training. You've at least shown yourself proficient enough in that." The others all thought to themselves, 'Proficient is a bit underrated'. "Report an hour earlier than usual, if you're late I'll quadruple the training." To say Kagami was distressed was an understatement. The woman was evil, pure evil.

He had been doing the triple drills for a while now and the exhaustion was showing in his body when he went for his lunch break with the rest of the platoons. Thankfully all the top respected platoons ate before the others and by some stroke of luck it seemed Seirin got there first, with the exception of Mitobe (he had left early he had said that he had a meeting, or more like Koganei interpreted his blank face). The mess hall was a very clean building in between their sleeping quarters and the Healing Unit.

To everyone's surprise when they got into the building there was no one in the kitchen and no food was placed out yet. "Did we miss an announcement or something?" Koganei asked.

"No... not that I remember," Hyuuga answered thoughtfully. They were all standing in the line next to the counter waiting for anyone to show up. Kagami's annoyance was steadily rising; he was tired, sweaty, hungry, and just plain pissed off.

After waiting five minutes Kagami scowled and jumped over the counter, "That's it, I'm not waiting anymore."

Hyuuga looked scandalized, "Kagami I don't think that's a good idea. The Head Cook will crush you if he finds out you went in there without his permission." Kagami just ignored him and went to the back where there was a cooler and started pulling out random ingredients. A stress mark appeared on Hyuuga's forehead, "You stupid Kouhai ignoring your elders, I'll teach you a thing or two!" He made to jump over after him but Kiyoshi held him back while smiling innocently.

"Just let him do it, you know how Kagami gets when he doesn't eat. We'll all pay for it later." The others cringed at the thought and looked at each other, "And it's a plus, if Kagami cooks we wont get in trouble and we'll be fed." All eyes looked at Kiyoshi, whom was still smiling.

"You're kinda devious Kiyoshi," Hyuuga said, but went back to waiting for Kagami whom was now cutting all the ingredients and putting them into a big pan.

"What are you making, Kagami?" Izuki peered over the counter to look into the pot.

"Just some simple Katsu Curry." The others looked on in amazement and wonder as Kagami moved around the kitchen like he had grown up there. "It shouldn't be much longer, did you guys want any side dishes?" They all shouted out different things to which Kagami nodded and went about preparing the things that he could.
