Menu Tasting

“Ne, Hyuuga-kun, where do you think we should go for our training camp?” Aida asked for Hyuuga’s opinion as they walked through the hallway. “Should we hold it in the beach?”

“Sure, the beach is nice” he replied.

“Or should it be in the mountains?” she suggested, not sure of the destination. “I tried to talked to Araki-san about it but she said she supports whatever decision I make”

“Well, as long as we can train, anywhere is okay with me” Hyuuga uttered looking bored as she female coach pouted. “Oi, are you even taking this seriously?” he just sighed. “Like what Araki said, I’ll support whatever decision you make”

“Don’t decide on the hell we’re going to like a couple!” they didn’t know that the other 2nd years were watching them.

Ame’s POV

I don’t know why, but during the break, I was walking with Teme here while conquesting Hunipe-kun <3 yeah, it’s another game I’m playing and he’s now the type of guy who’s a hard-working athlete and he—“Amei-chan, where do you think Riko will decide on our camp?”—isn’t annoying like this giant.

“I don’t know. I can’t read minds” was all I told him and tried to focus on Hunipe-kun. Let me repeat, tried.

“But shouldn’t you help her with that decision? After all, you are our team strategist” he bugged me. I popped a vein.

“First of all, I’m a “forced” strategist here, and second, I really don’t care about the camp. I just answer whatever Aida asks me about basketball crap, and third--”

“Amei-chan, you talk too much” he started to pat my head continuously as if wanting to break it in half. I slap his hand away and rubbed my head, giving him an annoyed glare.

“Don’t do that! What if my head breaks in half while you pat my head with your abnormally huge hands?!” I spat but he just chuckled—then turned serious.

“Amei-chan, patting one’s head can’t lead to breaking it in half, that’s impossible” he informed me—or annoys me more.

“Ghhh” I groaned and turned my attention back to Hunipe-kun <3

“Oh, Koga, Izuki, Mitobe, Tsuchida, what are you guys doing?” Teme asked after seeing his group of dudes. I didn’t really know if he saw them; I was busy playing.

“Kiyoshi! Look at those two; they sure look like a couple!” Koga pointed at Aida and Hyuuga (I think) well, they’re the only 2nd year couple I know of. Kyo ships them so…

Yeah, she rants about how she wants the two to date.

“Really? Oh you’re right! Amei-chan, look!” Teme pulled me to him and let me hide behind the wall corner and peeked. Of course, I didn’t care but—“Amei-chan, put that down first!”

Wtf, he took my beloved Hunipe away! (TAT)

“Oi, Teme!” Teme motioned my head to look at the hallway letting me see Hyuuga and Aida walking together. So my assumption was correct. Good job Ame; I’ll give you a pat at the back.

“Yeah, Aida and Hyuuga, you think I don’t know about them?” I retort, grabbing back my PSP.

“I got one! They’re cute as a couple!” puny guy joked. “Puny guy, go away and never come back” I told him.

“Haha, Amei-chan, you sometimes talk like Hyuuga-kun” and there goes the pats…

“I said stop doing that!” I shouted.

“Huh? Do I really that hard?” why this little…

“I wouldn’t be complaining if you didn’t right?!”

“Hmm, gomen”

He f*cking patted me again. “S-Stop that!”

…

‘Why do couples keep on appearing in front of us…?’ Mitobe, Izuki, Koganei and Tsuchida watch them as they fought thinking that they look like a couple.

…

“All right gather round!” Aida who stood beside her boyfriend (Hyuuga) announced the decided training camp. And me without my PSP, I stood beside Aida looking bored as usual while dealing with Teme’s smiling bright face to me.

I even heard Kyo giggle. What. -__-

Kyo’s POV

I giggled after noticing Ame-ne frown at Kiyoshi-senpai who was smiling at her. I think they make a cute couple ^_^ if only Ame-ne showed interest in anything besides her games -3- Aida-senpai decided that we’d go the beach and mountains for the training camp this upcoming summer vacation.

Afterwards, Aida-senpai went out to talk to the teachers about it while we prepare for practice.

“I’m sorry” Kuroko-kun apologized to Kagami-kun after accidentally hitting his foot with the scoreboard.

“Tch, watch it, would ya!” as usual, Kagami-kun screams at Kuroko-kun… but he’s still cute!!! .//w//. Hehe~

“You wouldn’t get hit if you weren’t standing in the way”

“It’s not my fault! This thing keeps on hanging around my foot!”

And there, he blames poor Nigou~-3- “Oi, Kagami-kun, stop it!” I stopped them before it gets worse. “You should prepare for the practice game instead of yelling at Kuroko-kun!”

“Shut up! I’m not yelling at him! I’m just pointing out that his dog is annoying!” Kagami-kun’s screams ;__; I flinched after hearing his loud voice.

“It’s yelling when your voice is loud!”

“My voice isn’t!”

“It is” Kuroko-kun and Kyo join forces! >_< I beamed and chuckled at Kagami-kun’s glare at Kuroko-kun.

“Oh, Kuroko-kun, I think you’d be able to bring number 2 along since the guesthouses will allow it” I told him with a smile.

“Oh, is that so? That’s great” Kuroko-kun smiled in relief but Kagami-kun reacted disagreeing. “Don’t bring him! He’s annoying!”

“Kagami-kun, you’re so mean” our phantom commented as number two chased Kagami-kun around while barking.

“Get away from me!” Hehe~Kawaii~

“Being afraid of something smaller than you in front of a girl, how manly” Kuroko-kun said popping a vein on Kagami-kun’s head as hollered at the bluenette guy behind me. “Why you--”

 I blocked him before he could shove his face in front of our phantoms again. “Kagami-kun, you should calm down!”

“Urusai!” Huwah, Kagami-kun yelling at me ;^; <//3

“Kagami-kun, you shouldn’t yell at girls like that” Kuroko-kun scolded Kagami-kun with a frown. “That’s just rude”

“Oh, so you’re lecturing me about girls now?!”

“I’m telling you to be polite”

“Urusai!”

I sweat dropped and left them fighting there, walking over to Ame-ne who was standing beside Kiyoshi-senpai. “Hmm, Kuroko and Kagami seem to talk to each other again, but they keep on fighting” Koga-senpai watched them fight with Tsuchida-senpai and the “couple” (ame-ne and kiyoshi-senpai! >//w//<)

“Are they okay?” Tsuchida-senpai wondered as we all glanced at the duo.

“Don’t worry, they’re gonna be alright” Kiyoshi-senpai, being the Iron Heart, looked positive as always. Ame-ne looked up at him after he spoke and replied: “They didn’t even gave passes to each other”

Of course she’d argue with him… -__- that’s just how she does it… DANDERE. But I’m having thoughts that she’s somehow a tsundere…? Gah! Her anime addiction is infecting me!! >.<

“All right one more time, everyone gather ‘round!” Hyuuga-senpai assembled us again as we gathered in front of him, listening what he has to say. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and took a deep breath.

“We’re currently facing grave danger”

His statement made me nervous and looked at my fellow teammates seeing them also nervous and alert. Kuroko-kun remained stoic and Kagami-kun remained cute—I’m kidding, he was also alerted.

And there’s Ame-ne, giving the ‘I don’t give a damn about anything’ look on her face.

“In order to make two trips this year, we chose cheap lodgings. We have to make our own food, which is where our problem lies”

H-Hyuuga-senpai is scaring me!!!

 “Coach will be cooking for us” Hyuuga-senpai’s face tells me he’s not joking and is really serious.

“What? Is that bad? I don’t see the problem…” Furihata-kun, you shouldn’t say things like that… -_-“ just look how serious looking captain is.

 “Of course it is, idiot!” Hyuuga-senpai pointed at him, turning his clutch mode on and reminded them about the honey-soaked lemons Coach made for them during the Touou game. Ooh, I remember that!

And I also remember them almost dying after tasting one of her creations…

The 2nd years all paled after remembering it, terrifying us first years while Ame-ne just looked bored as usual and didn’t gave a single damn about it. I hope she tastes Aida-senpai’s cooking -___-

“That’s not cooking anymore…” Kiyoshi-senpai noted, putting his hand on his chin, a sweat dripping down.

You mean it’s inedible? O_e

“Then, why don’t we just cook for ourselves?” Furihata suggested but captain rubbed his chin unsurely. “We could but…”

“Training is hard as hell that we’d be tired by then and wouldn’t able to cook for ourselves” Izuki-senpai continued.

“Just by thinking about it…” Koga-senpai almost vomited at the thought

Eep!!

…

Everyone shivered at the upcoming terror they were about to consume—which is, their female coach’s cooking.

…

TIMESKIP~

Tap.Tap.Tap.Tap.Tap.Tap.Tap.

The second years sat there nervously while waiting for Aida-senpai to finish cooking the curry she said she’ll “cook”. I glanced at Ame-ne who was also waiting, but remained calm—well she is playing her PSP. Kiyoshi-senpai was just watching her, his dark brown eyes observing her face while leaning his cheek on his palm.

Kyaaa >//w//< I’m starting to think something’s going on <3

“Training Camp Menu Testing” was written on the board as I read it while coach prepared food for us.

“We can’t just tell her to practice because she sucks okay?!” Hyuuga-senpai whispered over to me.

“By the way, does any of you guys can cook?” I asked them while we waited.

“A little” Kagami-kun does?!?

“Nope!” Captain’s defensive.

“Mitobe’s probably the best” Izuki-senpai revealed. “Kuroko, you?”

“I couldn’t cook a boiled egg properly” was his reply.

“There! Curry!” Aida-senpai finished and placed the plate in front of us, showing excitement. Our eyes shifted down on the plate before our jaws dropped.

“I-Is that even curry?!” I can hear everyone’s mind thoughts…

But wait, what was that tapping sound a while ago? Wasn’t coach chopping vegetables? If so—“why on earth are there whole vegetables here?” Ame-ne looked at it, raising an eyebrow.

I sorta confiscated her PSP before we went here so she could eat without me trying to scold her from conquesting her virtual boyfriend, Hunipe-kun.

“E-Eh!” Kiyoshi-senpai covered her mouth before she could criticize coach’s cooking even more. “Amei-chan, don’t say things like that!”

“The appearance doesn’t affect the taste so ignore what it looks like!” Coach smiled all moe, tilting her head to the side. “It’s just curry!”

If she says so… “Itadakimasu” we chorused and ate a spoonful at the same time.

My eyes narrowed after tasting it and so did the others as the whole view around us became purple as we mentally screamed. It’s so bad!

No offense, coach! >-<

“Let me know if you want more” she stirred a whole pot of it!

“What the hell is this?!” Ame-ne looks disgusted and—holy crap that mouth of hers! She’s going to rant!!! She shot her head at Aida-senpai who cringed.

I looked down at the plate.

Well, I can’t blame for Ame-ne to complain, but that’s just rude! >3< yelling at coach like that—“It wasn’t that good, was it?” voice coach sounded sad.

I looked up at her, and saw her sad smile. Poor coach!! TT__TT Ame-ne, you baka!

“Thanks for the food” we all looked at captain surprised to see a clean and empty plate. Kya! He finished it for her!! I knew he liked Aida-senpai! >w< just date already! “It was a little spicy is all I can say. But it was okay”

He slid the door open. “I’m going to get something to drink” after he exited, Kiyoshi-senpai spoke up. “It wasn’t that bad, Riko. It tasted funny, but it was good” he tried to comfort her.

Such men! I salute them! TT^TT “That’s right Aida-senpai! You may just have done a bit of a mistake!” I but in, standing behind her. “Why don’t you try doing it again? I’ll help you!” well I’m not good in cooking but I know how to!

Maybe I could teach coach a thing or two in it! ^_^

“Hai!” Coach smiled brightly and prepared ingredients again. “Arigatou, Kyo…” Kiyoshi-senpai thanked holding my shoulders.

“Senpai, there’s something dripping from your eyes…” I sweat dropped.

Ame’s POV

Hmm, maybe I’ve gone too far in snapping like that. Aida looked really sad. But, that doesn’t erase the fact that she’s horrible in cooking. I mean seriously.

The rice is soft as porridge. The uncooked vegetables crisp like a salad and the meat is raw. Plus, the sauce is somehow bitter and sour. I don’t expect any more of an understandable explanation for this.

I bet no scientist in the wold could create such a theory.

But I gotta give credits to the clutch captain and Teme giant over hear. Only such men could stand up on a culinary level that’s as low as Aida’s. I mean puny guy even saw the captain  lying at the hallway, unconscious.

And I think Mitobe’s been taken by Kami-sama over there.

I sighed and heard another oven open and looked to see Kagami sautéing meat in a pan. After that, he placed it on the table to let us taste it.

“Oh, this is actually good Kagami, where’d ya learn how to cook?” I chewed on it in delight.

“I live by myself” was his answer. So he learned how to cook by living by himself? No teachings from his mom? Or maid? Or other being that learns how to cook…? No? okay then. Who cares?

I felt someone grab my hand from behind as Teme appeared and used it to feed himself. “Huwah! Kagami this is so good” he marveled and sat beside me.

Did I mention he was still holding my hand? -__-

“Oi Kiyoshi, I told you not to be lovey-dovey at this hour and place” Koga reminded him. wtf…

What does the place and hour has to do with it?! And—“We’re not being lovey-dovey!” I pulled my hand from him and gave him a cold glare. And of course, he just smiles like an idiot leaving me annoyed.

“Eh, Aida-senpai! Let’s cook curry!” Kyo’s competitive side is clicking…

TIMESKIP~

“Huwah!”

“It looks good!”

“It’s the perfect curry!”

Who, unexpectedly it looks good. But I still find cooking boring -___- “I got it this time!” Coach exclaimed boldly as we took our spoons.

“Itadakimasu!”

We all ate it and the same thing happened. We all turned purple and Aida backed away. “H-How?! W-Why?!”

We don’t know either…

What is this cooking?

All I can say is…

 “It still tastes disgusting” I commented sweat dropping and turned our heads to Kyo who flinched. “Oi Kyo, didn’t you say you’ll help her? What happened?”

“Eh? I did! I even tasted it!” she reasoned. Oh god.

Like I said, coach’s cookery skill is beyond human understanding. I sighed and glanced at Kyo who was looking at Kuroko curiously. “What is it?” I asked her as she pointed at the bluenette.

“Kuroko-kun seems to like it” she answered and approached the phantom. “Kuroko-kun, how does it taste?”

Kuroko paused from eating. “It tastes nice actually. Good job, Kyo-san, Coach”  wtf… is coach’s cooking that horrible that it turned into some sort of potion putting a spell on Kuroko in enjoying her dishes?

“Are you crazy?” I muttered raising my spoon, letting the sauce drip on the rice.

“Chotto matte, who served you, Kuroko?” Teme asked him suddenly. Wtf is he talking about? “Oh, I did. He was the only one, coach forgot to serve so” Kyo raised her hand facing him and looks like she realized something. “Matte, Aida-senpai…”

Hmm, I get her now.

“Hey coach; could you give me another serving?” I requested after cleaning my plate by putting all of it on Koga’s.

“Araki-san what are you doing?!”

“Eh? Sure” Aida said, drained from her cooking and did so. “First you put the rice and then the sauce…” she recited but added another step that isn’t on the menu.

“Aida, stop putting Vitamin C powder and protein on the curry. Jeez” seriously…

“EH?!” the other boys exclaimed after seeing her add-on spices staring at it. “That’s what made it horrible!” they said in unison pointing at the “healthy” plate as I grumbled, resting my cheek on my hand.

Man, this tasting made me lose my appetite now. I don’t feel eating. Aida served them again without the spices and they were satisfied. They said it was normal. Thank god that’s over. “AME-NE! EAT!” I guess not until I do what Kyo wants me to do.

Man -___-
