Prologue

A perfect morning for any family to go outside and have a sky was clear and the birds chirped as they flew, the spring breeze made everything feel good and the flowers slowly bloomed.

-CLASH-

A little girl about four slightly flinched, her face remaining stoic.

She glanced to the left, only to see the decorated velvet wall to be partly soaked. On the floor there were glass shards everywhere, which once was a glass cup. The little girl looked up and saw a man that looked large. He stood up from his leather chair and walked up to her, he kneels down and raises his hand.

-SLAP-

His large palms made contact with the little girl's soft cheek. The slap echoed from the large room to the hallways. The little girl falls down due to the strong force of the slap.

You might have thought that she would have started to cry and break down. But no, she remained stoic and calm as ever. The girl touched her face and looked at the ground, expecting something else to happen.

"Get up you worthless trash!" he demanded. The girl did and stood there, no longer touching her cheek. It throbbed and she felt pain from all over, but she didn't waver.

This girl's name is called Nakiri Erina and wield one of the most greatest things in the world. "God's Palette" is what they call her ability, the ability to taste anything in any dish. She had just started learning the world of cuisines and all types of cooking styles, and has yet been the polished gem everyone is expecting her to be. She has long blonde hair and pink eyes, wearing a pink dress.

Erina stared at her father with emotionless eyes, no signs of love or affections were shown in her pink eyes.

He wiped his lips "What kind of trash did you feed me? It tastes awful!".

"They're pancakes and they are not trash. They were made from the fresh ingredients that we've bought, and I've made the dough myself." explained Erina. She wasn't scared of her father, who never seemed to act like a fatherly figure to her, but thought of him as nothing more than a human that was blowing steam."I was scared that it was going to be a bit too sweet for you since I know how much you love to drink dark coffee.".

Her father glared at her "Y-you dare talk back to me!?".He raised his hand once more, about to strike it onto Erina's face, when both of them heard a knock.

He immediately went to his leather seat and smiled "Open the door.". Erina sat on the couch and sighed.

The door opened and a maid came in and bowed "Excuse me for intruding, but Senzaemon-sama had arrived.". Erina glanced at her father, a bit happy that her grandfather had came. But her father didn't look happy, but he forced a smile "I see, bring him in.". Once the maid left, he cursed under his breath.

"Get out of this room Erina, you are excused." he said in a soft yet harsh tone. Erina quickly walked out of the room and laughed softly once she was out.

-Few Minutes Later-

-Knock-

"Come in." Erina's father door opens and Senzaemon walked inside.

Unbeknownst to them, Erina stealthily walked near the door and curled up in a ball. She looked up and saw the back of her grandfather.

He was in his 60's and he was tall and lean for his age. He had long spiky white hair and an intimidating look, wearing a yakuza- like robe. She remembered his face clearly and remembered seeing a scar on his face.

"Why are you here?" asked Erina's father. Senzaemon sat down on the couch and smirked "Didn't you tell me we had something important to discuss?".

"What are you talking about?" he asked once more.

Senzaemon sighed and took a paper out from his robe and placed it on the table "What in the world are you doing, sending her somewhere else.". Erina's father's eyes widened as he sat on the seat across of Senzaemon, but then smirked "Well of course.I can't handle another minute of that trash, take her with you.".

Senzaemon shook his head "I don't know what has gotten into you but Erina is you daughter and I'm sure that your wife would have never agreed to any of this.". Erina's father sat still and sighed "Well she is no longer here...She can never come back.".

Erina stared at the white wall and felt her heart pounded.'Father...Father wants to send me away?'. She felt anxious and scared, but she didn't show it.

The door closed and Erina stood up. She reached to the handle but decided to go back to her room, still curious about what was happening.

Erina's father broke down in frustration "She looks just like her, a splitting image...".

"Is that why you've been treating her badly? Erina doesn't even know how her mother looks like, she can barely remember her." said Senzaemon."At least have a proper conversation with the child before you send her away.".

"No, if she stays here any longer she'll just be worthless.".

"Then I'll take Erina with me".

Erina's father looked at Senzaemon, only to see him smiling.

"I'll make her the gem that will make Tootsuki prosper.".

-Night-

"Where am I going grandfather?" asked Erina. She was in the car with Senzaemon. The blue sky now had turned dark and the moon was up. Senzaemon smiled "You'll be living with me. Your no longer going to live in that mansion.".

Erina blinked and nodded, she didn't look back."I'll gladly stay with you grandfather.".

The new mansion Erina walked in felt nostalgic, the last time she was here was on her 4th birthday party.

She walked inside the kitchen and saw a man that she'd never seen before for all of the times she'd been here.

The man looked about to be in his 20's. He has black hair that was tied in a ponytail and he was tall and muscular. He turned around and smiled, his eyes looked calm and carefree."My name is Jōichirō Saiba, and I'm the head chef.".

Erina blushed and nodded, her heart beat was pounding, "My name is Nakiri Erina, granddaughter of Nakiri Senzaemon. Nice to meet you...".

-12 years later-

Nakiri Erina, 16 years old and granddaughter of Nakiri Senzaemon the one known as the "Food's Demon King". She was calm and composed, the wielder of the "God's Palate" and the princess of the school. She clenched her fists as her eyes turned determined, she was going to be the one that reaches the top, and prove to everyone that she was the best. Especially him.

Meanwhile...

"So this is what Tootsuki looks like." grinned a boy. He had red-hair and yellow eyes with a scar on his eyebrow, and he stared at the school with carefree eyes.

This is my first time writing a Shokugeki no Soma, I'm not good at writing but I will try my best. Of course there will be romance, though I might not be very good at that genre. The shipping will be Soma and Erina, I'm sorry for the fans that prefer Megumi other than Erina. But something about Erina just makes me love her so much, even though she has a somewhat arrogant and snobby attitude. Who knows, maybe I might make Soma end up with Megumi.

I saw a comment in FB a few weeks ago, saying that there will be a category for Shokugeki no Soma.I was so excited since I've been waiting for this moment to happen. ^^

I've only read one so far and I'm already hooked~

My heart is racing right I hope there are other writers that would write fanfics for Shokugeki no Soma. Now I want to read more, and more, and more, and...I'm getting too excited...

Please read, enjoy it, and then review. Thank you very much and have a nice day.
