**Chapter 8: Dessert Before Dinner**  
  
  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;I hear the shower running from Kouji and Shuichi's room.&nbsp; I call them, but there is no answer.&nbsp; Someone is having a little fun before dinner. I think to myself.&nbsp; I decide to make something a little eastern today and settle on Japanese food; Chirashi sushi, with yakitori chicken, and edamame. &nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;I boil the soy beans for the edamame and mix the yakitori dressing for the chicken, which will later be skewered and put in the oven.&nbsp; I always make from scratch, it tastes better that way.&nbsp; As I pour the rice into the cooker, I hear my door open down the hall.&nbsp; Ku is finally up, maybe I can get him to help with dinner.   
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Hey, Ku.&nbsp; Could you get the red peppers from the fridge?"  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Sure,"&nbsp; I hear the fridge open and close and see the peppers appear on the cutting board next to me.&nbsp; "Perhaps I could help with something else, too?"&nbsp; I feel Ku reach around me and start trying to undo my belt.  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"What have I said about the kitchen?&nbsp; Besides, we just had some fun a little while ago."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Aww, but that didn't go as far as I was hoping."   
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"It went far enough, now stop teasing me before I put up a barrier."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Oh, but that was just an appetizer."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"For you maybe, I had dessert."&nbsp; I lick my lips, "It was sweet and salty at the same time, and I did share."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Fine, can I at least help with dinner?"&nbsp; His hands move away from my belt buckle, having no luck in getting it undone.  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Sure, cut the chicken and the vegetables.&nbsp; Remember to wash your paws before and after touching the chicken and use different cutting boards.&nbsp; Wash the knife too."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"I know, or the food can get infected with bacteria, right?"  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Salmonella, to be exact."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Right, and that's no fun."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;We get to work on preparing dinner.&nbsp; We mostly sing along to Owl City, but we also plan our "dinner date" while we're at it.&nbsp; As we start to set the table, I hear the shower stop.&nbsp; Took them long enough, the water bill will be through the roof. &nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Sounds like they finally finished.&nbsp; Ku, do you mind knocking on their door and telling them dinner is ready?"  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Sure, hopefully Kouji won't run into me again."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;I laugh at that remembering the surprised look on his face while he was sitting on the floor. &nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"We can only hope."&nbsp; I mentally add, although your surprised face is pretty cute.&nbsp; I watch his tail sway back and forth as he walks down the hall to the other bedroom door, his joy at spending a night alone with me quite clear in the way he moves.&nbsp; I hear him knock and ask if they will, and I quote, "Grace us with their presence at tonight's meal."&nbsp; I laughed out loud at that one and was glad I was already sitting or I just might have fallen over.&nbsp; I hear a muffled reply, which I assume was a "just a minute", as Ku walks back over only just containing his excitement as we would be leaving shortly after dinner.   
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"They said to give them a minute." My assumption was correct.  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"They probably needed to find their pants, or at least a bath robe."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"After how long that shower was, I think they need a little rest.&nbsp; So, how are we going to get out of here for our 'dinner date'?"  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"We'll drive to Uta's restaurant and leave the car there and I'll teleport us home."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Sounds like a plan." We hear a door open down the hall. "Sounds like they found something to wear too."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;I wink at Ku, hoping the he understands to keep our plans secret from Shuichi and Kouji.  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Something smells good." Shuichi was talking to no one in particular, but I decide to respond anyway.  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Well, I didn't want to be out shone by my sister, so I made my specialty.&nbsp; Yakitori chicken, chirashi sushi, edamame, and there are japanese oranges chilling in the fridge.&nbsp; They're just normal oranges peeled and are currently soaking in plum wine, they're rather plain, but the taste makes up for it."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"I've no doubt that it'll be delicious."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;With that final comment, Kouji and Shuichi started eating, effectively killing any conversation until dessert came along.  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Kuro needs to go for walk, but I don't want to right now."&nbsp; I didn't miss the secret glance Kouji gave Shuichi, but I decided not to say anything.  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Well, Ku, we have a bit of time before we leave.&nbsp; What do you think about taking Kuro for a walk?"  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"I don't particularly want to, but okay."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Thanks Kuroi, you know where the leash is."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;We finish dessert and I put the plates and utensils in the dishwasher.&nbsp; I see Shuichi head to the living room and sit on the couch.&nbsp; He's only wearing a bathrobe and I wonder how long he plans to stay like that. Kouji is still sitting at the table and Ku is heading towards the door with Kuro close behind.&nbsp; I head to my room. &nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"I'll be in here if either of you need me."  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Okay." Came a response from the living room.  
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;"Sure." Kouji's response came just before I hear a chair scrape against the floor as he stands and, I assume, walks over to Shuichi.   
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;I silently enter my room and close the door.&nbsp; I notice that I smell like I've been cooking and head into the shower.&nbsp; I take my time and finish a little while later.&nbsp; Finding that I've got plenty of time to spare, I go to read one of my new books and realize that I don't remember where I put the bag.&nbsp; I think that maybe Shuichi saw where I put them and put my hand on the door handle to go ask him.
