Chapter 33- Gradually conquering

Byakuya wakes up and notices that Shiori is no longer on his side. He stands up, and sees her sitting on the bed, reading a book;


-Ah, good morning, Miss Shiori.
-Good morning Byakuya, how was your night? Are not you feeling cold for getting shirtless?
-Oh, really, my God! I'm sorry for that, I should have woken up before you.
-No worries, feel free!
-Could I have a shower?
-Of course, you can use my shower.
-It's all right.

Byakuya bathes quickly. Kurama, after getting up, wraps his tail around his hip to not appear naked to Botan, but she blushes when she sees him out of bed almost fully naked;

-Ohh, he's also gorgeous where I do not usually see, hahaha!- Botan thinks.

After the bath, Byakuya goes to the kitchen, accompanied by Shiori;

-Well, I'm going to make breakfast for us, Shiori. You have some interesting ingredients in your pantry that I would like to use.
-No problem, you can use whatever you want.
-It's all right.

 Kurama materializes a new clothing, wrapping himself in a silver petals rain in the process. Botan is delighted;


-Aww, it's so gorgeous! I did not know you could do that.
-It's one of my only really different abilities that Shuichi does not have access to. Oh, it was good to remember that! It's time for him to come back!
-Hahaha silly, true, you are Youko since yesterday.

Shuichi and Youko alternates until only Shuichi appears;

-Ready.

Botan goes to Shuichi and hugs him;

-Welcome back.
-I've always been here, hahaha.

They hold hands and walk downstairs to the kitchen. On the way, Youko and Shuichi talk mentally;


-Youko, did you sleep naked?
-Of course, I'm sure that it left Botan desiring about something!
-You're crazy or what, hahaha! This is not the way to do it! You have to go slowly!
-Oh Shuichi, I have no patience and I did the service for you in the same way.
-Try to be more discreet! It was a miracle Botan did not have slapped you in the face and called you a pervert!
-She liked it, hahaha!
-That's because you were there, and you know there's a big physical difference between us...
-Do not be malicious, Shuichi, do not overdo it!
-I know, hahaha!

Byakuya bakes a mysterious candy. Shiori cannot imagine what it might be, although the smell is already very good right at the start;

-What a good smell, Byakuya, what is it?
- It's a secret candy. As far as I know, only I can make it, the recipe is very simple but the way of preparation is complex and precision is required.
-Omg, this is what I can call taking culinary skills seriously!

Botan and Kurama arrive next, and also feels that smell;

-Good morning mom! Good morning Byakuya!

Shiori hugs Shuichi;

-Good morning my dear.
-Hi, mom!
-Good morning, Kurama. Did you sleep well? It was very hot today, was not it?-Byakuya appears with an apron. Botan laughs.
-Oh yeah, it was VERY hot.
-Literally, hahaha- Youko laughs.
-So, do you have other skills besides making tea and origami, smartass? Let Koenma know, muahahaha! - Botan jokes him- Good morning, Shiori.
-Good morning, Botan.
-He already knows that I can make any recipe.
-Let's see how good you are at recipes then, Mr. Byakuya.

Byakuya points the finger to the head, simulating a gunshot;

-Look at your words, hahaha! - Byakuya makes a mischievous face.
-You're insinuating something?-Botan looks at him.
-You are unable to cook as good as I do, hahaha!
-Aaaah now I'm going to finish you!

Botan and Byakuya run through the room. Shiori laughs at their childishness, and tries to stop the quarrel;

-Hahaha do not act like children, I think you are already very grown-up to do these tantrums.
-I can stop, but I'll prove to Byakuya that I can make wonders too!
-Hahaha, I believe you, Botan.

Botan returns to Kurama's arms, showing his tongue to Byakuya, who returns to finish his surprise food;

-Okay, time to finish the mystery!
-Oh my God, let's see how good you are!- Botan jokes.

Byakuya made a kind of cake, but not really a cake. It looks like bread, but it's not bread either. It has a soft texture, and the taste is something unusual;

-What's the name of it, Byakuya? It's delicious!- Shiori approves.
-It's a random recipe I made. I call it the cake of illusion.
-The taste is not an illusion, hahaha! It's very good indeed.- Kurama praises.

Botan is quiet, but her facial expression denounces that she liked it;


-And then, Miss Botan, how about?- Byakuya comes closer to her.
-I would do better!
-Maybe, hahaha.- Byakuya jokes.

-Imagine the other things he knows how to do, and apply that to practical life as well,including bed abilities hahaha!-Shiori laughs and blushes as she thinks about it.

The doorbell rings;

-Who would be now? I do not usually receive visitors at this time.
-Let me go to see who is there, Mom.
-It's all right. Do not let it enter, unless being known people.
-Right!

Kurama opens the door, and Yomi waits outside;

-Good morning, Yomi!- Kurama hugs him.
-Good morning Kurama. As promised, I came to see you.
-Could you come in and take breakfast with us? It will not take long!
-Okay, I will not refuse.

Yomi goes with Kurama to the room, and is welcomed by the others;

-Yomi, good morning! What are you doing here?
-Good morning Botan, I came to accompany Kurama. I promised to give him all my support, and protect him as long as I can.
-I am very grateful for your consideration, Yomi.- Shiori thanks.
-It could not be any different.
-Well, Yomi, do you accept anything? I have here a cake that is not cake but looks like bread...
-That's really intriguing.
-Byakuya who make it, and we approved, it's so exotic. Give it a shot!

Yomi resists at first, but willingly, proves the cake;

-Actually, Byakuya understands how to harmonize tastes.
-Hahaha I knew you would like.
-Well, I will not hold Yomi here for long, mom. We need to go soon!
-Okay, my Shuichi. Take care.- Shiori kisses him.
-That's okay.

Kurama and Yomi go to the door. Yomi remind his friends;

-Botan and Byakuya, do you want to come with us or are you going to stay with Shiori?
-I'm going with Kurama, Yomi- Botan is already approaching him.
-Well, I'll stay with Shiori, and later, I'm going to return home- Byakuya sits down on the couch.
-Okay, behave, Byakuya, hahaha!- Kurama smiles at Shiori.
-I'm predicting the unpredictable.- Youko speaks to Shuichi.
