Situation: Souma was out riding his bike to get ingredients for a new dish when he gets caught in the rain and walks up to a house, asking for shelter from the storm.

Souma approached the house. It looked regal and a house that was fit for a king. 'Man, I wonder who lives in it...' Souma thought as he approached. Souma took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Erina was just about to head into her large living room and relax and watch a movie when she heard a knock on the door. "Who could be at my door this late..." She wondered out loud as she went up to the door and looked into the peep hole.

She saw a shivering red-head waiting patiently for someone to take him in. 'S-Souma! W-Why is he here? N-Not for me r-right?...' Her mind raced a hundred thoughts a second as her face heated up. She saw Souma walking away and she opened the door. "S-Souma, you knocked?" She said embarrassed. "Erina? Oh, this must be your house. Yeah, I got caught in the rain and was wondering if I could stay here." Souma asked.

"You, stay the night with me?! So shameless..." Erina blushed. "But if I ride my bike home, I could get struck by lightning!" Souma argued. Erina sighed as she held open the door for him. "I knew you where nice." Souma teased as he walked by. "B-Baka!" Erina pouted as she closed the door but didn't lock it.

"Hey Erina, I'm going to take a shower." Souma told her. "O-Ok, I'll be watching a movie..." Erina blushed, thinking about Souma in the shower before squealing and running into the living room. Souma giggled as he went into her bathroom and stripped. He hopped in the shower and let the hot water run down his toned back. 

"Ah~, I never thought Erina would let me in." Souma said as lathered his body in soap. "Now I'll smell like Erina. Even when Hayama cooks, I can still smell Erina's lovely aroma, I guess this soap is why she smells so good." Souma washed off and washed his hair. He felt his hair, which never lost it's signature shape. "Maybe I should get that checked out..." Souma finished his shower and got out. 

He began drying himself before realizing he had no clothes to change into. "I guess I'll ask Erina!" He tied the towel tightly around his waist and out towards the living room. "Erina!" Souma called to her as he walked in. Erina looked over at him and gasped. Her brain practically shut off as she saw Souma in just a towel. Sure, she had dreamed of this before but she never thought it would really happen!

"S-Souma! You pervert!" Erina yelled as she lifted a pillow to throw. "Calm down! I didn't have any clothes to change into." Souma laughed awkwardly. Erina lowered her pillow slowly and nodded. "I-If you go down the hallway left of the bathroom, third door on the left in a room for butlers and should have clothes for you." Erina said, covering her eyes. Souma followed her instructions and put on a black tank top and jeans he found in the closet. 

He came back to the living room and plopped down on another couch. Erina mentally cursed at her richness as she wanted Souma to sit with her. Her prayers where answered as Ryo and Alice walked in. "Souma? Why are you here?" Alice asked. "I got caught in the rain so I'm crashing here." Souma told her. "I see...mind sitting with Erina?" Alice asked Souma, who obliged and got up. 

Ryo sat down and Alice laid her head in his lap and stretched out. Erina glared at Souma as if to tell him to do the same. Souma shrugged and let her lay her head on his lap as they walked the movie. Ryo began to run his fingers through his master's(?) hair, making her squirm. Souma decided to do the same and see Erina's reaction. Erina blushed bright red and looked up at him to see his smirk.

"B-Baka Souma..." She whispered as the movie continued. "I thought you would like that~." He teased. "Maybe I did...but that's none of your business." Erina pouted. Souma laughed as he continued. The movie finally ended and Alice said goodnight as her and Ryo and went to bed. "Where will I sleep Erina? With you~?" Souma teased. "O-Of course not! Baka! You can sleep in a guest room." Erina grabbed his hand and led him to one of the many guest rooms in the Nakiri Estate.

Erina opened the door and let him in. "You have your own bathroom. M-My room is right across the hall so if you need anything, just knock." Erina said emphasizing anything. Souma nodded and hugged her goodnight, making her blush but reluctantly hug back. "Hehe!" He giggled and closed the door.

Erina walked back to her room and turned on the light. She yawned and hopped on her bed. "Stupid Souma..." She said as the power went out. Souma, who was already asleep, was awoke by a loud, ear-piercing scream coming from where else but across the hall. He leaped up and ran to Erina's rescue.

"Erina! Are you alright?!" He yelled into the darkness as he couldn't see her. "I-I'm fine! Just startled is all!" She said, completely embarrassed. Souma followed her voice and reached out to her. "Hey Erina, your arm is a lot bigger and squishier than normal." Souma said. Erina looked mortified as she slapped Souma's hand away. "T-That wasn't my arm you Baka!" Erina yelled as she pulled Souma towards her, who proceeded to fall on top of her.

"At least I can see you now." Souma said. A light was shined on them and they heard a laugh. "Getting up too late night hijinks Erina? And bad boy Souma!" Alice giggled as she helped them up. Erina was bright red as Souma was laughing. "Looks like lightning must have struck and made the power go out. The electrician will fix it so I'm heading back to sleep." Alice and Ryo headed back to bed.

"Guess I'm going back to sleep as well." Souma waved and went to his room. Erina took a deep breath and go in her bed. Before going to bed, she looked out the window. She saw a man dressed in all black with a black mask leaving the room controlled the power of her estate. 'It wasn't the storm! Someone manually did it!" Erina felt chills go down her spine as she heard the front door open. She quietly tiptoed into Souma's room like a child with a nightmare and shook him.

"E-Erina? What's up?" Souma yawned as he rubbed his eyes. "I think someone is in the house..." Erina gulped. "You're probably just on edge cause the power is out and you're tired." Souma smiled, making her feel a little better. Erina stared at him and looked at his bed. Souma, catching on, asked Erina if she wanted to sleep in his bed.

"I-I suppose if you're offering, I won't refuse." Erina blushed and sat next to him on the bed. Souma smirked at her as he told her to lay down. "I-I'm only laying down cause I want too!" Erina replied as she laid down. "Are we gonna cuddle?" Souma teased. "I-If you want to that badly...I guess I could comply." Erina hugged him and pulled herself up against him. She almost gasped upon feeling his well-toned chest muscles. Erina had to suppress her thoughts like 'I wonder what he tastes like~.', 'He must have the god chest~', and, her personally most embarrassing, 'Mmm~, Mama likies~.'

A noise was heard from the kitchen which made Souma and Erina on edge. "What was that?" Souma said as he held Erina tighter. "I-It came from the kitchen." Erina whispered. Souma got up and looked at her. "Stay here, I'll go check it out." Souma told her. Erina quickly grabbed his hand. "D-Don't leave me Baka! I'm scared!" Erina whined. "I'll be back as fast as I can, promise." Souma said. "F-Fine..." Erina pouted as Souma opened the door and walked out.

Souma walked towards the kitchen. 'I'm sure Erina is just seeing things. Paranoia can be pretty bad.' Souma thought as he walked into the kitchen. 'See, no-.' Souma's thought was interrupted by a man walking into the kitchen. Souma quickly hide behind the corner and listened to a conversation he was having with someone on his cellphone.

"I checked the western wing, it wasn't there. It must be in the eastern wing." The man said. "That's where the Nakiri's sleep so it makes sense. You brought a weapon, right?" The voice on the phone said. Souma cringed a bit when he mentioned weapons. "Of course, I brought a pistol with a couple of bullets." He said.

Souma took this as his cue to leave. He wanted to head back to Erina but he had to warn Alice and Ryo. He opened the door to Alice's room and walked up to her. "Alice." He whispered. "Sneaking into a girl's room at night? You're naughty Souma~." Alice teased. "Listen. A man with a gun somehow bypassed security and he's in the mansion, he even cut the power." Souma said. "Oh? I'll go tell Ryo. You better go back to Erina and hide." Alice said as she left her room and Souma followed suit.

Souma went back to his room and opened the door before closing it. "S-Souma?" Erina whimpered. Souma held a finger to his lips as he opened the closet and signaled for her to get in. Fearing the worst, she got inside. Erina sat in the top left corner and Souma kneeled in front of her.

"Erina...looks like you were right. He has a gun but don't worry, we'll be ok. Alice will call the police but it will take a while to get here since it's storming here." Souma explained as he listened out. He felt Erina's arms wrap around him and tears falling onto his back. "Erina?" Souma called to her. "I-I don't wanna die yet...I haven't even..." Erina said before falling silent. "Even what?" Souma asked. "Hey Souma. Ever since I first met you and made some weird Yukihira style dish, I knew you were special. At first, I didn't like you because you were a lowly diner chef but you've shown me how great you are...you've convince my mind that your food is great but you've also...convinced m-my heart that I'm in l-love with you." Erina blushed as she confessed.

"Sorry, I wasn't listening, what did you say Erina?" Souma said. "W-What?" Erina turned pale. "I'm just kidding Erina!" Souma giggled and turned around to kiss her. He pressed his lips against her and pure bliss overtook Erina's body. "How was it?" Souma smirked. "N-Not too bad..." Erina blushed. "Just stay behind me, I'll protect you." Souma held her hand tight. Erina squeezed back as she shook. Souma heard the door open and the man walk into the room. He could feel Erina breathing heavier in fear and shaking.

He watched the man through the cracks of the closet door. He looked around until his eyes settled on the closet. "Someone could be in there." He took a step towards the close and Souma cringed a bit as the man walked closer. The man opened the door.

The man gasped and pulled out his gun. Souma tackled him to the ground and punched him in the face. The man aimed his gun and pulled the trigger, hitting Souma in the leg. Souma yelled out in pain and his jeans were painted with his blood. "Stop!" Erina yelled, catching the man's attention. "Erina! No!" Souma yelled. The man crushed his arm under his boot to shut him up. "Please! If you promise not to hurt him, I'll take you to the vault and even give you the password." Erina bargained.

"You have yourself a deal." He said as he stepped off of Souma. Erina began leading him to the vault. Souma watched, powerless, Erina leave with the man. 'Damn it! My leg hurts like hell but I won't leave her alone!' Souma willed all of his power to stand and began limping in pursuit. Erina had just arrived at the vault door and the man held a gun to her head. "Hold up your end of the deal. Put in the password." He said. He pressed his gun into the temporal bone of her skull. Erina typed in the password and the vault door began opening. "Haha! Thanks." He threw her to the ground and waited for it to fully open.

He was so focused on the vault door. he didn't notice a certain limping red-head, bent of vengeance. "Haha! The Nakiri Trea-." His words were interrupted by Souma punching him in the back of the head, leaving him dazed. "That was for shooting me." Souma proceeded to kick him in the balls. "And that...was for hurting Erina..." Souma's leg gave out and he fell to the ground.

Police swarmed the house. They began asking questions and putting the man in handcuffs. "We have to take this boy to the hospital, are you anyone of importance to him?" The policeman asked Erina. "U-Uh...well..." Erina stuttered out. "That a no, miss?" He raised an eyebrow. "N-No! I-I'm his girlfriend." Erina blushed bright red. "Then come with us." The policeman called an ambulance and off Souma and Erina went.

That night, every single person from Polar Star Dormitory visited Souma and wished him well. His dad couldn't make it since he was cooking in Australia but he heard the news and said Souma was strong and he would be fine. Only Erina remained with Souma. 'Wake up soon Souma...' Erina thought and she bent down to kiss his forehead. She was taken by surprise when Souma moved in and kissed her. It lasted a couple of seconds before Souma pulled away. "We made it out, 'Girlfriend'." Souma teased. "B-Be quiet! I-I lied so I could ride in the ambulance with you." Erina looked away, blushing. Souma made her look at him and he smirked.

"Who said you were lying~?"
