Uprising Of The Cannon Fodders

Chapter Thirty Five

Persuading Kenchiki wasn't that difficult, since he had a weapon of mass destruction. His thoughts drifted back to how he convinced him or more like manipulated him into agreeing, but in the end, it's for his safety, so it should be alright, isn't it?

*********

Kenchiki still couldn't believe what his brother asked him to do, sure if he asked him to kill someone for him, he would do it without batting an eye, but beating up a man so that his brother can play hero for him is not something he is interested in making a reality.

He knows how it would end. His brother would be compassionate to this man. Then the man would suddenly realize how handsome his brother is when he is changing his gauze and just like that he will start having unfounded feelings for his brother and seduce him, but that wouldn't work, so he will pretend he nearly died and con his brother into having s*x with him, not in this lifetime, his brother may not save any man, woman or child.

Yoshiki watched as Kenchiki's face changed rather quickly, from shock to surprise to anger and at long last to an expression that had wicked intentions.

"Yoshiki, who you do you need me to injure, I'll call some of my henchmen, I mean men, and have him taken care of." Kenchiki tried to put his most obedient and helpful expression on his face all the while plotting how he was going to t*****e the unknown man to death.

15 miles away, a loud sneeze rang through the air, the room was divided in two by a clear path, on both sides of the path were groups of desks placed in rows, the sneeze came from a man, the woman whose desk was in front of his wheeled around on her chair, "Are you sure you're alright Alister? You have been sneezing since an hour ago."

Alister Wang lifted his head from the potion it ended up in after he violently sneezed for what seems the thousands of time today, "I'm fine miss Qin, thank you for your concern, but I think it's just something in the air."

The woman smiled politely, "Then I hope that's the last one because I can't consternate on my work if you keep sneezing. Please take it outside if it happens again.

Alister smiled sheepishly, as nodded in agreement. He hoped that he didn't sneeze again, it was making his eyes water from just how hard he was sneezing.

Yoshiki could see all his plans crumbling down around him when he heard what his brother said (and no not about the henchmen, because seriously we all know that's what they really are) he couldn't allow Kenchiki to kill the Male Protagonist, he wanted to do that; he had to find a way to preserve his plan, thinking with all his might he found the perfect way, his eyes.

Yoshiki smiled, when he thought of how his dear brother will jump directly into the pit he is digging for him.

Kenchiki was thinking up all the ways he could t*****e the unknown Male his brother wanted him to do a number on. While he was daydreaming, he caught something out of the side of his eye; he turned to see what it was clearly only to be met with his brother's eyes, which were shining with the happiest smile on his face since their parents died.

He remembered the way the light disappeared from his brother's eyes, this was the second time he saw the light in his eyes, the first time was when he found him over the man's dead body with a b****y knife, but that moment was fleeting though because in the next second he blacked out.  

He suddenly realized if Yoshiki cared about this unknown Male, he would not have asked him to wound him badly, meaning that this man either wronged his brother or his brother simply wants to kill this man.

He looked deeply into the eyes of his older and suddenly didn't care about who the man was nor why his brother wanted to play hero, at that moment he decided that as long as his brother looked at him with bright eyes then he would wound, kill and murder anyone he desired.

Yoshiki put on a bright smile on the outside while cackling on the inside, he watched Kenchiki's eyes as obsession appeared within the depth of his eyes, the more obsessed someone is with something or someone, the more they cannot see the flaws in those people, Kenchiki was already possessive over him but not obsessed.

Since the death of their parents, all Kenchiki obsessed over was making Yoshiki's eyes light up, and over the years it has become his lifelong goal, so to see his Yoshiki's eyes shining triggered it onto the very surface of his brain, now he would do anything to achieve it, even put aside his jealousy.

Yoshiki smiled at his accomplished goal. He cackled to himself on the inside (he had his evil cackling down very well; he practiced while he watched snow white and the dwarfs. Pity really, he had hoped snow white would choke on the apple).

*****

Yoshiki ended up in the Manor's kitchen, since one, he was hungry for some proper food, and two, he wanted to make it up to Kenchiki for manipulating him; he was going to cook them dinner since lunch has long passed. He was going to make crispy orange chicken, one of his favorite dishes.

He had all of his ingredients ready; the ingredients used to make the chicken on the right were boneless, skinless chicken breast and thighs which were cut into bite-sized pieces, cornstarch, flour, eggs, and oil. On his left were the ingredients for the sauce, orange zest, brown sugar, vinegar, soy source garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes.

First, he took a bowl and mixed the eggs, cornstarch, and flour together until it came out smooth, he then added the chicken in the mixture until they were all nice and coated, he moved over to the stove to turn it on and put the pan and put oil inside. He waited until the oil was ready and put all the pieces of chicken inside the pan and cooked them for 2 minutes. He removed them all when they were all light brown gold. He put them in a big bowl and set them aside.

He moved on to make his orange sauce; he measured out all the ingredients and placed the orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and ginger, and the red chili flakes in a small pot and then moved the pot over to medium-high heat. As they cooked, he added cornstarch and water and continued to cook it until it thickened. He then stirred in the orange zest into the chicken until it becomes a beautiful bright orange color. For the finishing touch, he grated orange zest and onion over it and put it in the oven to keep it warm.

Yoshiki then brought out another pot to mix coconut milk, water, and rice to make coconut rice. He put the pot over medium heat, added the rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. He waited a few minutes and brought the heat up to a boil, waited for 5 to 6 minutes before reducing the heat, then letting it simmer. Then he covered it for 18 to 20 minutes so that the rice was ready and tender. He removed the pot from the heat, put on a serving dish, and let it sit for 10 minutes.  

He set the table and put out all the dishes, as he turned towards the fridge to remove something cold for them to drink, he saw Kenchiki leaning against the fridge, he couldn't help the small scream that he let out, the man popped up from nowhere every time he was in the kitchen.

Shaking off the scare he received, Yoshiki asked curiously, " How long have you been there?"  

Kenchiki looked at him as if he hanged the moon, "Almost half an hour."

Yoshiki "..."

Yoshiki couldn't help the way his left eyebrow twitched. The man was there all this time and didn't even offer to help. Sighing to himself, he walked away from the i***t in the room, "You get something for us to drink from the fridge and then come to eat."

They spent a good night together and ate well. After finishing the food, Yoshiki forced Kenchiki to do the dishes. Yoshiki was then used as a teddy bear for the night.

*****

In the end, all his plotting paid off as he looked down at the unconscious male protagonist. He wanted to cackle but unfortunately; it was early in the morning and he needed to get him into his apartment. After all, he didn't want people wondering why he was standing over a beaten guy looking like a cat that ate the canary.  

Yoshiki debated on how to get the man in his apartment. Was he going to carry him hell no, he bent down, picked up the left leg, and mercilessly started dragging him into his apartment by his foot.  

If there was anyone to witness this scene, they would have seen a scene straight out of a horror movie. Unfortunately, or fortunately, all the residents were sleeping. The only witness to this scene was the cat from before. But alas, ignorance is bliss.
