8 First day of the journey and lost with no money

"you lost so you have to try my new recipe its a rule" Sanji said as he brought the food closer to Soma's mouth

"Eww disquisting" soma looks like hes getting sick

After a few minutes "So, nii-san tell me how did you know that sushi cake would have a great impact on that old lady" Soma overheard the conversation between his father and Sanji about using sushi cake to get the mother to take care of her child."What kind of research did you do?"

"I didn't do any research"

Soma was shocked "but did you say she said it was their favorite food? are you lying?" Soma accused Sanji of lying

"haha no of course I don't know. How would I know her favorite food when we never met before."

"Then how did you know"

"Oh it probably wasn't her favorite food"

"What" Soma became confused

"Soma let me tell you as a Chef you have to see beyond what is said and understanding what they like'

"huh"

"Imagine someone stumbles across our dinner and they never been here before. they want a meal how would you know what they like? All you know is that it was cold outside ."

"well if its cold outside then"

"see you are looking outside the box. I didn't know what she liked ! I had to take a look at her and Haruka before I could decide. "

"but doesnt explain why"

"Simple Hinamatsuri"

"Hinamatsuri?"

"Japanese Girls' Day—also known as the Doll's Festival—is celebrated on March 3 to pray for the health and happiness of young girls in Japan. Hinamatsuri, the name of the celebration in Japan, is marked by families displaying a set of hina dolls in the house and serving special food delicacies that are ceremonially beautiful and delicious. One such dish is the Sushi cake

"meaning?"

"It helped the mother remember the time she gave birth of her daughter and brought back memories of her. It may have been simple meal but for her it unlocked something she sealed off."

"As expected of Nii-san but I wont lose next time"

"well it be a couple of years through "

"do you really have to go"

"yeah my dream is to try all the recipes in the world. Father will join me now and then"

"aww but I'm going to miss you"

"hey were chefs use this time to suppass me in cooking" a spark hit Soma eyes

"I wont lose when you come back. I'll be so good you will say its delious"

"haha your 10 years to young to beat me"

Soma looks at his brother sight as he walks out the door wondering what kind of new techniques he will learn on this journey

"Old man I'm leaving" Sanji says as he looks at his father. Joichira goes by and gives him a few new chef uniforms

"old man?"

"there your new uniforms wear them with pride and here use this id and this letter of introduction. Call yourself Saiba Sanji when going out it will help you in need but on the back of your uniform is the Yukihira sign but on the front is the kazuma family logo...Take care son

Sanji didn't want to get emotional so he calmed down and walked. but as he walked he said" I never thanked you for your help before thanks old man but next time we wont need it... Who do you think we are!"

Joichira just shook his head and went to the dinner "come on soma we have to open up the shop"

Sanji went to the base and met up with the family. They talked and he told them he was going on a 2 year journey to train his skills. Miyako was crying asking to go with him but Sanji refused saying on his next journey. he asked cap if he wanted to go through he refused saying he may meet up once in a while. Sanji gave all the story boards for their manga for the next 5 years. Cap was shocked but shook it off.

"well I'm off oh wait lets all take a group picture. Hold on let me get changed first" They all gathered by the base and took it Everyone was making poses. Sanji had his knife out Kazuko was punching the front it was a photo that everyone valued. then sanji played on last song before he left

{Rita- Little Busters! [TV animation version]}

Everyone was touched by friendship cap then said ok group hug

"everyone hugged." Oh momo became part of the group so she was in the picture too. Also another girl while she wasn't in the family she did have a huge crush on Yamato...he helped her out a couple days after the incident...why is all the girls around Yamato

Sanji left then he went walking and realize.

"I should have gotten a taxi..."

"wait where am I...? strange they must have move stuff around... Oh wait wheres my money..." Sanji left his money

"So umm Im suppose to go overseas but hmm oh I see a group of people."

"esscuse me whats this event for?" Sanji asks a boy his age. "

"oh this is the piano recitle where the best people play. My best friend and Im competing for first."

"oh really is there a prize or some kind?" then a man comes by and says yes there is a prize of $20,000 yen."

"ok then I'm going to participate where can I sign up for it"

"its a little late, well there may be a way if someone canceled I'll talk with the judges to see."

"Oh thanks mister oh by the way I'm Yuki *cough* Saiba Sanji"

'saiba hmm is he related to that saiba'

"well I'm Kai this is Reiko and this is Aiino sensei. lets go." Kai grabbed Sanji hand and they ran inside.

"Hey Kai is Reiko your mother" Sanji asked as they neared the bathroom

"yeah why"

"oh no reason just surprise how young she was" actually Sanji was surprise he called her by her first name...

then there was a girl crying in the bathroom. kai and Sanji walked over and talked to her she seemed to appreciate it and fell for Kai... so it would seem. she wouldnt even look at Sanji. 'am I cursed or something' Sanji didn't notice she was blushing so hard whenever she looked at sanji so she had to avoid eye contact

{sanji pov}

They walked to the performance area and a lady started talking to the girl. oh her name is Maruyama, Takako... I bet she will be a looker in the future.

Kai friend seems like hes a rival of his named Amamiya, Shuuhei hes the son of someone famous... if it isn't cooking I dont know much about it.also there is Kousei Arima he's suppose to be a prodigy but as I said its not cooking so I know nothing about it. however he seems to be depress... well path to being a great is difficult I guess his parents are forcing their dreams upon him when they learned he was a genius... but its seems to be something to do with him...he doesn't seem unhealthy just hmm doesn't love playing. I thought as I heard his song... its better than Amamiya's but its lacking heart. So depending on how the judges vote...

Next there was a girl named Emi Igawashe was cute but she messed up alot she seems kind of errratic but has talent, then Takeshi Aiza he was reckless and yeah honest and straightforward.

I shake my head... Takako was next she seemed fine but if I had to say a little boring. then Kai played he was playing simple but then took off his shoes and going crazy. I enjoyed his music the most but he seemed to lack the foundations of recital. They wont vote for him too bad as my new friend I would love to see him do well. but with his playing I know this isn't the end. Reiko-nee good luck cheering him up.

Finally my turn. I'm glad I was last because I heard the order and they seem to be very simple to play. I started playing and the world changed around everyone like a adventure and traveling it was so emotional everyone started crying and laughing. once I done it was silence I bowed and walked away...

I guess I didnt do well. Well no biggie lets see I guess I'll go for a walk. sad because no one liked my song...I didnt know that people were still shocked by the performance they had to process it for five minutes later they were shouting encore and stuff but I had already left...

"Oh Kai I have to go. I'm going to Europe for training so I have to leave now and call my pops"

"what your leaving but you didnt see the results"

"well I dont think I did well no one said anything"

"I I see well theres always next time! I thought you were amazing" Kai smiled "oh what are you training for piano?"

"no I'm actually a chef. I'm Yukihira Dinner Sous chef ." Sanji gave directions"come by if you ever wat a meal"

"ok I will definaely visit"

"well see ya" Sanji walked out carrying his bag over his shoulder.

"where did Saiba-kun go, I never heard such music before"

"yeah his music inspired me"

"where is he from"

Kai looks at the directions Sanji went and saw he was gone. Kai then shouted

"his name was Saiba Sanji from the Yukihira dinner at ************

As this was going on Sanji walked for a couple of days and ended up in a small town. there a couple kids were talking about getting a new figure. Sanji went inside the candy store and saw a kid and his father arguing about candy... there was a girl inside with angry eyes looking at him... I guess she has a crush on him.. I got some candy then when I was about to use the phone I see these group of guys try to attack a girl and come in kick knocking over two and she knocks over one...I look at the girl and shocked

"Sanji-kun is that you"

"yeah your Miu right" Yeah its Miu Fūrinji Kazuko and Momo's cousin

"why are you here"

"Haha funny story"

the two boys were thinking is that handsome guy her boyfriend
