Siblings § Warmth (Shokugeki No Soma Fanfiction)

Chapter 7

I stretched and yawned after we finish the battle.

"A good match" Isshiki-senpai said.

"Yeah, I'm pretty satisfied" I put down my hands, feeling a bit tired.

"You really are great Haru-chan! As expected from the rumor!" He then reached his hands towards my head and a sudden feeling of fear came crawling on my back. Cold sweat started to pour down and my limbs won't stop trembling. My mouth dry out while my sight became fuzzy.

I can't breathe, I can't see, I can't feel anything.....

"N-NO!!" I quickly back away from the hand, accidentally hitting the sharp edge of the kitchen table. "Don't...... Don't to-touch me.... Pl...PLEASE!!!" I was hyperventilating, struggling for air. Don't touch me..... Please..... Don't..... The guy in front of me stood in shock, he retreated his hand and opened his mouth.

"Haru-chan...?" I immediately snapped out of my memories, breathing roughly.

"I...Isshiki-senpai....I'm sorry...." I told him, wiping off the sweats, though I'm still shaking.

He smiled and shook his head, "its nothing.... You should treat your wound." He pointed at my elbow which is hurt during the incident just now and passed me a treating cream. "Get some rest afterwards, okay?" I nodded as I ran across him with the treating cream.

I'm sorry....

After having a nice bath to calm me down, I apply the cream on my wound. I was thinking how rude am I to Isshiki-senpai while I was sitting down on the floor. Then, I was distracted by the sound on top of my ceiling, it's like a huge object climbing towards here..... Oh my god.... Not a ghost.... Please. The ceiling cracked open and revealed Isshiki-senpai's face.

"Isshiki-senpai?!!" I was so shocked that I thought I might suffer a heart attack. He jumped down and placed my knife case on my table.

"You forget this." He smiled and turned to me.

I murmured a thanks to him, still avoiding eye contact. I don't even know how to face him after what I've done to him....

"Haru-chan..." Isshiki-senpai sat on the floor, keeping some distance away from me knowing I'm afraid of physicalcontacts. I looked at him. "Could you.... Tell me what happened?" I startled a bit as he continued. "If you don't want to, never mind, but I have another question.... I realized...." I then explained to him my condition regarding the questions he asked me.

"Umm.... About what happened....."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was laying on the bed, wondering if it's a good idea to tell senpai the truth. But my instincts told me I should trust him.... Tossing the thoughts behind my head, I recall the battle we have just now. It is my win, but something tells me that Isshiki-senpai is not showing his true color, but he IS serious in that battle. Things are getting more interesting.....

Isshiki's P.O.V

I returned to my room after having a little talk with Haru-chan. I couldn't help but to feel a little pitiful about that girl.... Happen such things in such a young age.... But then again I remembered her condition.... Who thought that she suffers something so rare.... And she hid it so perfectly. Looks like I have to look after her more often....

I then recall her cooking skills and techniques, she could perform so well even though she suffers THAT. What will happen if she didn't suffer that..... I shivered at my thought. She'll be powerful, VERY powerful..... I shuddered again when I recall her looks when I threw her a challenge, its like a killer, bloodthirsty for killing people. Her eyes were filled with the desire to compete, and win. It is beautiful, yet highly dangerous.... The aura when she's cooking is on the whole level, it's like a realm, which nobody can enter except for true professionals..... She's like a DEMON.

Looks like this year's kouhai is interesting~~ and terrifying....

Can you guess what happened? Can you guess what she suffered?
