Update today. Just a little heads up chapters won't come out as frequent as they used to, not until I get all this social work done, so please give me some time to finish that and I'll be back to posting chapters like normal. Also, my man Epic with the reviews, you actually got me dead my guy, I laugh every time I read your reviews haha. Thanks for reading my g and everyone else out there. Let's get on with the story.

"Yukihira Soma."

"Azami."

The night was haunting as a sinister wind lingered as the man in question, finally chose to reveal himself and his plans to takeover the culinary industry and manipulate it into something magnificent. A place where no chef will ever be destroyed because of some measly feelings. That was his goal. However, in order to achieve this, he needed a special piece. A piece that could combine both his thoughts and the culinary world together and that piece was standing right in front of him.

"So you're finally here to take over Totsuki huh?" Soma inquired bluntly.

"I've already taken over. I am the official new headmaster of Totsuki." He laughed.

"Soma-kun, you know this him?" Megumi asked.

"I do, and in fact, I hate that I do."

"Soma, how do you know Nakamura? There is no way you two have met before." Joichiro inquired.

Soma sighed, his arms crossed. "It was years ago, when Gramps took Erina away from him. Of course, he wouldn't allow it, so I intervened giving gramps enough time to take her away. It took 10 minutes but in that time, Azami didn't look phased at all. His daughter had just been taken away from him and yet there he was with a smile on his face. It pissed me off. But that was when, he offered me something. He offered to train me, he offered a partnership in which we would take over the culinary world and build a kingdom of greatness."

"My offer still stands Soma." Azami cut him off, gaining the attention of everyone.

"Join me, this is just the beginning of what is to come."

Soma clutched his hands and gritted his teeth. "I'll never join you, not after what you did to her."

Soma began walking towards an unconscious Erina, who was entrapped inside of an endless nightmare and a Hisako who was trying desperately to try and wake her or get some sort of reaction from her.

"Hisako, let me."

"Yukihira-kun, are you planning on doing indecent things to Erina-Sama?" She yelled.

Soma held a straight face. A face of seriousness and determination. His expression never wavered. After seeing his expression, Hisako realized his true motives and brought Erina over to Soma.

Soma sighed as he knelt down. Everyone's looking, this is so embarrassing. "Nakiri, wake up. You're drooling."

Erina didn't awaken but a reaction was given. "Mmmmmmm."

Soma sighed again, this is really difficult. "Erina." He whispered.

"Wake up, there's nothing to be scared of anymore. I'm right here." He whispered softly.

Soon, Erina's eyes began to widen, revealing her conscious state. Soma held her in his arms. There it was. She felt it. She felt his warmth, his embrace, the safeness that radiated from him. She threw her arms around Soma, as he helped her up as she stood.

"What took you so long, baka." She whispered.

"Gomen." He smiled.

"Ah so, you've grown quite fond of my daughter I see." Azami smirked.

"Of course I have, I was there for her when you weren't. You're her father show some courtesy."

"My offer has changed."

"I will offer you my daughter's hand in marriage, if you agree to join me." Azami smiled.

Soma gritted his teeth. "Is that supposed to be a joke?" A menacing aura radiated from Soma.

"You have no right to decide what happens in her life, after what you've done to her. She gets to decide on her own, your custody over here died when you tried to transform her."

Silence filled the room. The two eyeing each other down, until a voice spoke.

"So that's how it's gonna be." Azami sighed.

"You have no right to be here, don't call yourself my son." Senzaemon yelled.

"On the contrary father, I have every right to be here. Isn't that right my elite ten?" He laughed.

"Ahhhhhh, things will be interesting now won't it?" Rindou smiled as she began walking towards Azami.

"RINDOU, YOU'RE WITH HIM?" Kuga screamed.

"Oh the headmaster came early." Eishi came in.

"You too, Tsukasa?"

"Those of you who hope to achieve perfection, join me. Together we will centralize all of the power of the culinary world into Totsuki, and then it will be a place where only true gourmet food is allowed."

"Saito-San and Momo-san, you guys too?" Kuga asked, helplessly.

"Nene?" Isshiki pondered at her.

"Gomen, Isshiki." As she began walking towards Azami.

"What about you, Megishima-San? You joining them as well?" Soma asked.

"No, I will not. However, I do not wish to partake in this situation and resign from the third seat."

"So that's how it is huh." Soma finished.

"What about you guys? Kuga and Isshiki-San." Rindou asked.

"I refuse. I believe that, no matter who you are as a person, you should be able to make what you feel is appropriate based off of your skills. Cooking is not a format that has to be followed." Isshiki answered.

"I'm not going to join. Megishima-San is right. It's time to hone my craft so that I can be the best and not use my reputation as an excuse as to why I am able to achieve greatness, and Yukihira-Chin. I will beat you the next time we face off! Kuga declared.

"Well then now that, that has been decided. It's your turn my daughter."

"W-What?" Erina shook.

"Choose. Who's side are you on? Your father or Soma-Kun's side?" He intimidated.

Erina started to blank out, as nightmares from last time, came rushing into her head once again. The feeling of being abused and locked away in a cold dark room, terrified her. "I-I-I..."

Azami began stretching his hand out toward her until a firm hand stopped him in his tracks. "Don't touch her." Soma glared.

"You no longer have custody over her. Since, I am legally her guardian I am the one who decides where she will be." Senzaemon added.

"Very well, she will join me when I destroy you Rebels anyway." He sighed.

"If you destroy us." Soma smirked.

"My offer still stands as always, Soma." Azami said leaving.

-TimeSkip-

The rain was pouring, the thunder was roaring. Joichiro and Gin had already left due to urgent business. The trees were all withered and covered in the shadows of the clouds. The sinister wind became stronger as it blew against the length of the trees.

"Doesn't look like the rain is going to stop anytime soon." Yuki commented.

"Yeah, let's just all rest for now. I'm really tired." Marui yawned.

"Thank you Polar star, for letting my dear granddaughter stay here. It eases my heart to know that my granddaughter will be safe from that tyrant." Senzaemon bowed.

"Lift your head up gramps."

"What?" rasped the old headmaster.

"Erina has been abused in the past and because of that she's spent years of her life in trauma, I'd be damned if I'd let that happen again." Soma gritted his teeth.

Senzaemon smiled. "I owe you many thanks, young Soma."

"Don't be. In the same situation I'd do it again in a heartbeat."

"With that being said, I'd like to share some words with you in private, please."

Soma nodded. "Hey Megumi, can you show Erina around and lend her some clothes too, please."

"Yes, I can Soma-kun." She smiled.

"Oooooo, looks like Soma-kun is worried for my little cousin." Alice smiled as Erina blushed.

Alice Continued. "When did you grow so close, hmmmm Soma-kun? I thought the only thing on your head was cooking."

Soma sighed. "Years ago, I made up my mind when we were together."

Alice cried. "So romantic. I'm tearing up."

"HEY ALICE, STOP IT WILL YOU!" Screamed Erina.

Outside with Senzaemon and Soma

"Young Soma." He started.

"What is it?" Soma asked.

"When I toke my granddaughter away from that tyrant, she wasn't happy at all. No matter what I did, she never changed. It pained my heart to realize that my granddaughter might never smile because of the trauma she faced in her life. But then I remember the time you came and she starting smiling, started laughing. I couldn't live with the thought that my granddaughter would never smile again because I was too late in saving her, but you were always there so please."

The old man bowed. "Please, take care of her."

Soma sighed. "Lift you head up gramps, you don't need to do that when it's me and you."

Soma continued. "I promise. I promise to protect her no matter what happens, but I don't know why you're asking me this now."

"What do you mean?" The old man asked.

"I promised myself that I'd protect her a long time ago, so you're a little late to the show gramps." He smiled.

Senzaemon laughed. "You've truly grown into a great man, young Soma." He said patting him on the back.

But little did they know, someone's window was opened and she was eavesdropping on every little word they had said.

"I must go now, my granddaughter is in your care." Senzaemon excused.

"Ah no worries, we will keep her safe here."

Senzaemon nodded. "Hisako, please continue to take care of her. She wouldn't be able to live with herself if you weren't in her life."

Hisako blushed at the comment. "HAI, I will continue to look after Erina-Sama."

"Thank you."

Shortly after, Hisako, Alice, Hayama and Ryo left as well because they had their own places to stay. But Alice and Hisako would continue to visit Erina everyday worried for the girl, but after realizing that she had been so close to Soma, eased up as he would do everything to protect her.

SURPRISE LEMON AHEAD

Soma made his way upstairs, deciding to take a bath and visit Erina right before he went to bed to make sure she was alright. Quickly, Soma made his way to her door, making sure to knock quietly as everyone else was probably sleeping. As soon as he knocked, there were footsteps that could be heard making their way towards the door.

"Soma!" She whispered throwing her arms over him.

"Hey, Erina, how are you doing here?" He asked.

"I'm doing fine, it's not like my usual bedroom but I can live with it." She smiled.

"Yeah sorry about that, I know Miss Fancy Pants can be picky sometimes." He laughed, as she pouted.

Erina smiled. "Ne Soooma, come in I want to talk."

"What? But it's late and I want to go to sleep." He whined.

She pouted and, let go of his neck. "Hmph, fine leave then. I didn't want to talk to you anyway." She turned her head.

Soma smiled as he slithered his hands around her waist, hugging her. "I'm sooooorrrrry, forgive me please." He begged.

Quickly, her pout disappeared and she pulled Soma inside.

"Ne, Soma." She started.

"What is it?" He asked, leaning his head into her lap.

She began stroking his hair. "Thank you, for saving me. I don't know what I would do without you." She frowned.

Soma sat up and held her cheek. "I'm always here Erina. I promise I'll never let anything happen to you. I'll protect you. I want to see the real you, not the one that hides away the true Erina. I...I..."

"What is it Soma?" Erina asked tilting her head to the side.

"I love you."

In just three words, Soma made Erina's heart explode with butterflies. The feeling was amazing, it was as if she was being brought to heaven.

Erina smiled, as tears began welling up in her eyes. "Soma, I love you too."

As the moonlight shone against the clean glass, their lips met in an intimate embrace, as one was fighting for dominance over the other. Seconds after, Soma pushed Erina onto her bed as they both gasped hard for air.

"Erina, if this keeps going, I won't be able to hold back."

"Then don't" She smiled, caressing his cheek.

"I don't want you to hold back. I want to receive all of Soma's love for myself." She smiled, seductively.

And there it goes. The last of Soma's resolve.

In a flash, Soma kissed her again, pulling at the ends of her dress until the straps were just under her shoulders and easy to take off. Soma paused their kissing to take off his shirt, revealing the muscularity that Soma had hidden behind that shirt. As Erina, ran her hand through his abs, a chill was sent right through her spine. Girls would go crazy at this sight. A messy-haired and muscular Soma over the top of Erina, as he held her tightly in his arms, his love radiating out of him and treating her so gently. It all belonged to Erina.

Erina sat up and took off the remains of her clothing and crawled to Soma, who was only in his underwear. She crawled up to Soma and met with him on eye level, as her hand began stroking the erection hidden behind the clothing.

"Oh? Looks like little Soma wants to play." She whispered, seductively.

Soma then lowered his hand towards the noticeable dampness that Erina was giving off, as he began rubbing, she began moaning.

"Looks like little Soma, isn't the only one that wants to play." He smiled.

Erina, quickly, closed the gap in between them. Her chest, up against his well framed figured. Soma wasn't one to lie. He loved Erina's boobs, he couldn't get enough and one day if he were to die, he would want to die in between them if possible.

Soma removed the remaining clothing as Erina positioned herself on top of him. Slowly, she began to lower herself down onto his erection. As Erina's entrance fully took Soma's entire length, they kissed each other again, hiding the moans that were coming out. In a blink of an eye, Soma pushed Erina down to the bed, as he began thrusting with full force.

"Ahhhh, Soma. I love you, I love you Soma." Erina moaned.

"Erina, I love you too." Soma grunted

Soma looked down to see the effect of his work. It was the most amazing sight he had ever seen. A blushing Erina, as one hand gripped the bed sheets and the other holding onto his arm, as her breasts shook up and down and Erina calling out his name. Erina looked into Soma's eyes. They held so much care and sparkled under the moonlight. She was getting so turned on from seeing Soma all messed up because he couldn't get enough of her.

"Erinaaaaa." He whispered delicately into her ear.

"h-hmmm?" She blushed.

"I want to see your face when you climax." He whispered, seductively.

"What? No, you can't absolutely cannot." She blushed, fiercely.

"Awwww but whyyyy, I love you so much I just want to see all your reactions." He frowned.

She looked back at him. He had a small pout and his eyes were shimmering with hope, as he cuddled her neck. He looked too adorable, Erina felt that her heart was about to melt just by looking at him. She just couldn't say no to him, even if she was the ice queen, she could never say no if he made that face again.

"F-fine, but in exchange I want you to call out my name and tell me how much you love me." She smirked.

Soma laughed. "hehe, you could've picked something harder you know."

Soma then began thrusting again, as their silent moans filled the room and their climaxing very near.

"Erina! Erina! I love everything about you. I want to be with you for forever! Please let me see your face." Soma whispered.

Erina couldn't take it. The words that just came out of his mouth made her lose control, adding on to the fact that she was very close to climaxing as well.

"E-Erina, I'm gonna c-c..."

Erina pulled Soma into a kiss, as Soma began thrusting faster.

"Soma, I'm gonna cum as well cum with me Soma." She whispered, seductively into his ear.

With one final thrust. "Erina, I love you!"

"Ahhhhh, Soma's hot seed is filling me." She moaned, quietly.

LEMON OVER

The two had just finished a passionate night of making love and now they were both tired and needed some rest desperately.

"Daisuki, Erina." Soma said cuddling more into her hair.

Erina giggled. "Daisuki, darrrrling."

After a few more moments of cuddling, it was time for Soma to go back to his own room, so that they wouldn't be found out in the morning... or so he thought.

"Well, it's getting late. I should probably head back to my room." He said, as he stood up collecting his clothes.

"Oyasumi, Eri-" He was cut off by a hand grabbing his arm.

He turned around to see Erina, with the cutest eyes he had ever seen. "Stay?" She muttered.

Unable to refuse, Soma just smiled and jumped right back into bed with her. Soma pulled her in and cuddled her to her heart's content. The feeling to Erina was amazing. Soma's warmth, his heartbeat, his embrace, it all felt so good. Erina felt safe, she felt so safe in his embrace, as the rain poured outside, she remained warm in his arms as he cuddled her gently, holding her.

"Ahhhh, this feels great." She sighed, relaxingly.

"We used to sleep together like this remember?" He smiled.

"Yeah but every time, after you left, I couldn't sleep because you weren't there."

"Hmmm? And why is that?" He asked.

"Your warmth was missing, I missed being held in your arms as you cuddled up to me." She smiled.

Soma's smile grew as a teasing idea came to mind. "Hmmm, if you can't sleep then I guess I shouldn't be doing this then huh."

"W-W-What?!" Erina blushed.

As Soma began to push Erina away so that he could stand up and pretend to walk out Erina huffed.

"Yukihira, if you leave, I'm never going to talk to you again." She huffed.

""Yep, there it was. That cute face she always makes.""

"Gomen, pleeeeeeease forgive me, Erina." He pleaded.

"No and don't try to cute up to me, it's not going to work." Erina didn't budge.

Oh well, if she wasn't going to budge then neither was he.

"Ah okay, oyasumi then Nakiri." Soma stood up.

"W-Wait." Erina paused grabbing his hand.

"I-I'm just joking." She blushed.

Soma smiled and sat back down, and hugged her. "Still mad at me?"

"Yes." She huffed.

"Then what can I do to make it better?" He whispered, gently.

Just then, Erina thought of a great idea. The idea of Soma spending every night with her. His embrace, his warmth, his safety. All hers for every night that was to come.

Erina smiled. "Spend every night with me."

Soma pulled back away from her, confused. "What? Nononononono, n o."

"Too bad, you don't have a choice, unless you want me to ignore you." She smirked.

"Erina, if we do this every night, someone's going to find out about us."

"And?" ""Oh my goodness, he looks so cute when he's worried. hehe having Soma for myself every night.""

Soma sighed. "Okay fine. You win. I'll stay with you every night." Soma sighed in defeat.

Erina then began to lay down, patting the spot where Soma is supposed to come and cuddle her.

Soma smiled and laid down next to her, holding her in his arms again.

"Oyasumi, Erina."

"Oyasumi, darrrrling."
