4Chapter 7: Soma's return and the darkened cooking
Soma stood there at the terminal waiting to return back to Totsuki realizing he was gone a week longer than planned and was just finishing his conversation with the man who was impatiently waiting and was trying to threaten him with the people he loved most. As the leader messaged him telling him to make him anymore and he would take more than just his mother as he chuckled over the phone knowing full well that Soma feared nothing more than losing the two woman he had proposed to and his mother again before he hung up on him leaving Soma there in his thoughts as he was trying to get back as quick as he could.
Nakiri Mansion an hour prior
There everyone was sitting there eating lunch when they heard a sudden knock was heard on the front door. Asahi was the first to get up knowing Soma he would have probably just walked in and he refused to let his sister, cousin, or anyone else be put in harms way having complete faith that Soma would win he was the man who made so many miracles happen he could tell by the food he ate from Erina and Alice that Soma did things that nobody else would try to do and even his dad made food a few times even if it did make everyone hurl except for Tamako because she would refuse to eat his dishes and then scold him for serving those terrible dishes and the latest one chocolate syrup anchovies and squid tenacles just the thought disturbed him as he finally got to the door and opened it just to be shoved out of the way for 5 men to walk in. There he was the leader himself walking in last looking at Asahi as he laid on the ground chuckling at the sight "Where is everyone since Soma is late, we will be taking him mom and the two girls" he said as he continued to walk past him looking for them only to see three of his men laying on the ground with three men standing in front of the women. "I need Tamako and would like Soma's ladies also since he is forfeiting the match being a week late" he finished only to hear his phone going off. "Leave them alone sorry I lost track of time you will get your match when I get back and that won't be long I am waiting to board the plane and comeback to finish all of you and if one hair on any of them it touched you will have wished everything had been settle by the simple 100 v 1 Shokugeki" Soma seethed out as if it was the Demon lord himself talking and Soma's body was only a host to it as the leader was left sweating "Fine but I am tired of waiting for you" he retorted in a shaky voice as he was trying to mask it from everyone around him but now he truly feared he had unleashed a demon that would destroy everything he had built before motioning for his men to leave as he walked out as quick as he could and get in the car to leave knowing neither side now could back out because if they did they would lose absolutely everything they had.
Airport
Ale Rine Airlines here everyone boarding please line up as we are starting the boarding process. Soma sat there waiting as the line dwindled and finally the lady came up to him "Sir, are you ready to board everyone else is on and as per request we will shut the door behind you and gave you the first class seat and had all the other first class seat guessed put on a flight to follow right after since we have gotten the all clear" the lady looked at him with fear in her eyes she could not tell why but something about him just screamed out that he did not care he gave off such a heavy presence that it was so hard to breathe as he walked past her only to sit in the front of the plane hearing a click and finally he was alone again with the thoughts overwhelming him all over again as he slowed his breathing finally away from his knife for a few hours knowing full well though once the Regime de Cuisine started he would be battling not only the 100 men but also against the darkness that slowly tried to pull him deeper and deeper.
Totsuki Academy the next day (Soma has landed in Tokyo)
Everyone walked towards the school telling all of the Elite 10 to meet in the room as a discussion was needed and now, they would decide the next course of action. Megumi (10th seat), Eizan (9th seat), Kinokuni (8th seat), Takumi (7th seat), Isami ((6th seat) He won it against Alice who wanted to be taken off of the Elite 10 since she had gotten engaged to Soma), Kurokiba (5th seat), Hayama (4th seat), Kuga (3rd seat), Isshiki (2nd seat), and Alice (1st seat only holding it for Soma she is not allowed to wager it in any Shokugeki but she can vote in his place). They all sat there quietly while the adults were deep in thought and when it was clear that nobody would say anything "Why don't we wager ourselves also and help Soma in the Regime de Cuisine" Megumi said as she was furiously writing man on her had when Takumi covered her hand with his warmth reassuring her that it would be ok "I agree with her" Takumi stated. Soon, everyone was almost in agreement with a vote of 9-1 Alice being the only one voting against it knowing Soma would be less than pleased with them interfering and knowing what she does about this knife he took caused her even more fear seeing as he might not even remember anyone in here from what Saiba said he might not even be Soma anymore as tears started to fall Erina being the first to noticed glared at them all even though she knew they wanted to help they did not know the full story and with this mysterious knife in play it was even more dangerous for them to help him but she can not overrule the ruling of the Elite 10 once they placed a vote the outcome was final. "You guys will only hinder Soma and plus he may not even remember any of you sorry to say this is my fault so the only one joining Soma will be me" his father said as he grabbed out a knife that matched the knife, he had described to them almost perfectly maybe it was not as dark as a dark hole, but it was very close to it. "What is that knife" Erina screeched moving further away as if it was attacking her. "It is similar to the knife I told you about before, but it is sleeping it is easy to contain but I plan to have this knife and the one Soma has destroyed in this battle" he said putting it away under everything before closing his knife case. "What we the Elite 10 have the final say" the members said in unison as Alice sat there in fear of the knife also "Fine you want to have a Shokugeki right now we can but if you have not been Soma do you think you can beat me" he inquired shutting them all up as they just stared at the man and his authoritarian presence he brought before everyone was taken out of the silence when the door slammed open revealing the very red hair that they were talking about. "Nobody is joining I don't need any pest to hold me back I will take care of this all quickly and then it will be finished that is my absolute ruling any if anyone wants to change that they can face me in a Shokugeki" Soma's voice boomed deeper and darker than ever before. "Soma sorry but I am going with you they took Tamako from me also and it is not something I can just overlook "he said in a dark voice also while handing Tamako the second knife box as he walked out with Soma. "Fine but don't hold me back or I will destroy you along with them" Soma glared at the man as nobody dared walk by them everyone rushed into any class they could to get away from the demonic aura the two men had released and even outside where the underworld stayed and most of Tokyo felt the ominous presence as if death had swallowed everyone when three women ran up to the men with everyone else further behind as they hit them (Tamako on the left hit Saiba while Erina was in the middle hitting both of them and Alice on the right hitting Soma) but the two men just continued to walk as if they did not noticed the women behind them as they started to cry wondering if there was anything left that they could do when all the sudden the man who started this all showed up. "Soma I don't have 100 men anymore to face you I only have 4 left including me and I still want to face you since these are my best 4 men" he said as Soma glared at him "We will accept it on the terms it i you and your men versus Soma, Joichiro, Tamako, Alice, and I" Erina stated as the two men both glared at her but she refused to falter as the Food Demon King came up behind her with Azami and Asahi. "No" the man refused her offer but why. "How about this then Soma, Joichiro, Azami, Asahi, and I and if we lose you get everything" the dark aura extruding her grandfather was almost on part with Soma and his father causing fear in everyone around seeing now why he was called the demon king. "Soma are you ok with this wager" The man snickered at him. "Fine but if anyone holds me back, I will be challenging them next for their very life Soma said snickering as he left. "We will start tomorrow, and we should decide how the matches will go. "Phil, Roberto, Emilia, Abigael, and I am Aabinus, and Soma can pick the matches" the man said. "Fine, Phil can go against Asahi, Roberto against Azami, dad you ger Emilia, gramps you get Abigail, and as for me I am going against Aabinus and you pick the match stuff" Soma said as he walked away. "The first match with be Eggs for breakfast, the second match with be Appetizer, the third mat will be Soup, fourth match will be Salad, and for our match the theme will be Our Essence of cooking but surely you should understand what kind of dish that would be for you Soma" Aabinus chuckled as they left leaving everyone confused except for Soma who only chuckled even further "Fine you want to see the depths I will go to just to save everyone you got yourself a battle" Soma walked away not knowing where to go as he left the school before deciding he would sleep in his old room at Polar Star before Erina grabbed his coat heaving as she was trying to keep up with him before she dragged him with her to the car as everyone else finally showed up as she was forcefully keeping him there straddled on him as he was trying to move before they all saw her plant a deep kiss on his lips as she slid her tongue against his lower lip gently as she was seeking permission to enter his mouth she refused to lose the man who carried everything for everyone just so that nobody else would be hurt but he stubbornly refused for a few minutes before finally he gave in and slowly opened his mouth and quickly she dominated his tongue she assaulted all of his senses as he sat there shocked as he slowly regained his senses and slowly his tongue started to fight back for dominance over her he was not about to going to let her dominate him as he grabbed her arms before flipping their positions so that she was on the seat and he was on her as she gasped and taking the opportunity to thrust his tongue in her mouth as they both felt the heat growing so intensely between them before long he started to pull her waist closer to him as he gently yet firmly pulled her hair back kissing her even deeper as she moved her hands up his shirt around his back and started to pull him closer as her nails dug into his skin drawing out his blood in a passion filled kiss as neither was willing to bend to the other before long forgetting where they even where when they heard coughing and someone talking "… Ma and Erina how could you meanies I was left out MOU! I thought you loved me too Soma and Erina" Alice was standing there pouting as the two as been brought back from a steamy passionate kissing session as they both jumped away embarrassed about what had just happened when Alice pounce on Soma's lap demanding a kiss just like that only to have Soma chuckle and whisper in her ear "I will give you one tonight when everyone falls asleep even Erina so nobody interrupts our kiss" his low husky voice whispering in her ear causing her whole body to shiver in delight knowing soon she would finally also get the love that she was missing. That night everyone got home and went to their rooms everyone being exhausted as Soma grabbed Alice walking outside as Erina looked at them slightly jealous but knew it was only fair and she would grab them if they did not comeback soon as she went to the kitchen to make the three of them desert, she saw it happen as jealous as she was, she also was very happy seeing the man she loved and was giving both women equal attention as she saw him capture her lips. Soma sat there outside with Alice by his side staring at her beautiful red eyes and white hair when it hit him knowing this might be the last time he kissed the two women and he may end up succumbing to the endless wasteland as he pinned Alice down holding her hands above her head as he closed the distance his lips captured hers in an instant as he was about to say something he kissed her and his tongue was in her mouth dominating her and she knew it was useless to fight knowing she could not win against this assaulting kiss the fire he was kissing he with the unquenchable thirst he had for her as he pulled her body closer with his other hand she finally decided to let him have his way with the kiss as she saw Erina do knowing full well if this was they brought out in him there was no telling what he might do later if they allowed it as she blushed at the thought not knowing was there in the kitchen blushing just as hard with the same thought and for what seemed like an eternity between the two as Alice tried to gain control only to fall deeper into submission to the man there kissing her when Erina came over shaking them before Soma grabbed her with his free hand letting Alice have a little distance between him and her just to grab Erina taking her down with them pinning her down and once again ravaging her mouth as she tried to voice her objection but could only fall into the fiery passion filled kiss felling all his love reaching her heart just as it did with Alice this kiss was the same yet completely different from what he gave her in the car this kiss was asserting full dominance over the two women in front of him knowing they were completely helping against his deep loving kisses after what seemed like 20 years Soma released them as he dropped down gasping for air as they held him for a few minutes before getting up and slung one arm around each of them as he fell asleep to Erina's annoyance after she had made them each a strawberry parfait to eat but she just put them in the fridge for tomorrow as Alice and a sleeping Soma sat in the chair before they all would head to bed.
Soma's mind
Soma stood there before the darkness as it looked at him intently. "I rather not get any help from you if it means you changing me, so I won't recognize those I love and giving up my friends is not happening" Soma said to the dark figure looking at him. "I am you I am just the rage and pain you have felt for so long but I will make you a deal if you can break the knife then I will leave but in 10,000 years nobody has been able to break the knife everyone succumbs to the knife or the leave it for the next person like your father did" chuckling as it walked away.
AND CHAPTER FINISHED HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING 😊
