Chapter 40: don'te touche mai spaghett!!!

I glanced up at the clock as I poured in the cream into the saucepan. Despite Kou's little interruption, I still had about 5 minutes left. Hopefully the boys wouldn't get too impatient...

I sauteed the garlic and bacon until the fragrance filled the room, grinding in some fresh black pepper before pouring in the milk and cream. I stirred the mixture while adding a small pinch of salt, letting the sauce reduce a little more before tossing in some cheese.

"Oi sow, I'm starving," I could hear the giant call as his lumbering footsteps approached me. "Give me a couple more minutes, it's almost done," I say as I turn off the heat and mix in the parsley.

I could feel the sweat drip down my neck, only just realising how warm the stove had made me."Damn it's warm," I mutter, throwing in the strained spaghetti and tossing it around.

Then I felt a hand lift the back of my shirt.

"BOI-!" I jerked away from the guy, cooking spatula in hand and pointing at him.

"Che, so you really ain't a chick?" He muttered, folding his arms and looking away. I stared at him incredulously.

'I LITERALLY LOOK NOTHING LIKE A GIRL, WHAT IS IS WITH THESE PEOPLE. THE MOMENT I HAVE LONGER HAIR, BAM I'M ANOTHER GENDER?!' I quivered in annoyance and mild rage before turning back to plate the food. "You have long hair too," I muttered, "by your damn logic you must be a girl too..."

"Haah?"

'crap'

"I said let's eat!" I smile uneasily, holding out two plates. I shove them into his hands before he can protest and manage to carry the other three plates in some strange balancing act. "Sorry for the wait!" I say, trailing behind the towering male who's legs were longer than my life.

Azusa quickly left his seat, helping me with one of the plates. I thanked him and set down Ruki and my plate.

"Hope you guys like it," I say both out of courtesy and genuinely praying to whomever that it tasted good and they wouldn't have to wash it down with a big ol swig of my cell juice.

I twirl some on my fork and take a bite.

'well it tastes pretty good to me...'I think, hoping the brothers felt the same way.

"Neh Ruki~" Kou speaks up, "I think you might have some competition with Kitty-kun now~" He grins, giving me a wink and returning to his food. I glance around and see Yuma shoving food in his face while Azusa had a small smile on his face. 'I guess they do like it!' I smile to myself, sneaking a glance at Ruki who just so happened to be looking at me.

We lock eyes awkwardly.

I immediately turn away and take another bite of the pasta. I hear Kou begin to talk about his concert today, Yuma, Ruki and even Azusa occasionally piping up too. They really did seem close. I smiled to myself. The Sakamaki's never really ate together so this was a nice change.

"So Kitty-kun, how did you like my concert~?" Kou asked, placing a his head on his hand. I swallowed my bite of pasta and thought over it.

"You looked really happy," I grinned, "seeing you have so much fun, I did too." But then I thought back about the storage room. 'I never did thank him, did I?' "And I-"

"You're welcome~" he smiled, not even letting me finish.

"Your eye is a pain in the butt..." I sigh, turning back to my food.

"How did you know?" Ruki's tone was harsh. I looked up at him. "Azusa and Kou's favourite foods, Kou's eye, how did you know?" His expression was Stern as he looked down at me. I wanted to turn to dust right then and there.

"U-uh, I read about Kou's favourite food on his fan wiki...!" I say, hoping some random fangirls had already made a wiki for Kou.

I mean technically, I did find this out through Wikipedia so.... I'm not lying right?

Kou looked at me, his eye turning red yet again but he seemed to be happy with my reply, resting his head in his palms and smiling. "I never knew you were so interested about me Kitty-kun~" he gave a wink.

Ruki let out a huff but continued. "What about Kou's eye then?" He asked again, lifting a brow.

"Karlheinz told me," I answer, remembering I had heard Karlheinz mention Kou's eye in some walk-through of the game I watched. A technicality worked last time, let's hope it works again...

I saw Ruki turn to Kou but Kou just nodded. I let out a breath I never even knew I was holding.

"But that's strange~" Kou mused, his eyes narrowing. "Why would Karlheunz tell you such things~?" He stared at me but I did my best to keep my mind blank. "I was right~" he piped up after a tense silence. "Kitty-kun~ you are rather interesting~" he grinned once more before I saw his arm reach across the table.

'what is he doing now...?'

He reaches further and further, getting out of his seat at one point and...

WRAPS HIS HAND AROUND THE EDGE OF MY PLATE.

"DON'T TOUCHE MAI SPAGHETT" I squeak, smacking his hand away and pulling my plate nearer to me. I hear Ruki sigh while Azusa starts laughing softly. Yuma frowns at Kou. "Oi Kou, eat any more and you'll lose your figure," he chided, now rounding the table to pick up empty plates. Kou pouted playfully. I took my last bite of pasta and stood up too, helping Yuma clear the rest of the dishes.

"Give em to me," Yuma speaks gruffly but, was he being nice? I stare at him skeptically but he clicks his tongue and holds his hand out.

I gingerly balance the dishes on his palm, wondering how the heck he'd get to the kitchen with all those plates.

Then poof, he vanished.

'ah right...

Vampires...'
