HOWDY! In this universe, Usui and Misaki are only friends. Because, like everyone, I want to steal Usui for my character. SO Misaki is going to be with You-kun, Usui is basically like an annoying big brother to Misaki in this version. This chapt is more action packed than blooming with romance, but it's the intro. Hope you like!
Disclaimer: I will be reusing some scenerios from Kaichou-wa Maid Sama as if they hadn't happened before and putting my own twist on them, but the real credit goes to the original and all rights belong to Hiro Fujiwara, who is awesome! Love this manga! I stole the name Saya Minatsuki from 'Black Cat' but the character personality/design is all me. And I will be referencing quite a few songs in this story, plus movie quotes. Also Im not Japanese, so if I screw up cultural stuff…PLEASE FORGIVE MY IGNORANCE! *sob*
The following contains a dangerously sexy alien (which may result in nosebleeds),violence, a made-up representation of gangs, inappropriate language, feats of inhuman/unrealistic strength, speed, and mutant powers that cannot be achieved in real life and should not be attempted unless you are an actual alien or mutant…

"A gang fight?" Misaki repeated the 3rd idiots words and she gave You-kun a concerned look.
You-kun was Misaki's childhood friend. He had moved away when they were little, but had just recently come back and enrolled at Seika High. After he had reunited with Misaki he had confessed that he had a crush on her…and from then on he was always following her around like a puppy.
The two had been heading home from school when one of the 3 idiots had flagged them down.
"Yeah!" said Ikkun with worry (aka the Otaku of the 3 idiots) "I guess Shiroyan and Kurotatsu's old gang got mixed up with some of the Cutthroat Showdown gang! They went to go help, but it's the c-CUTTHROATS!"
"Cutthroats?" You-kun scratched his head. "The ones with those underground cage fighting tournaments?"
"THAT'S THEM! THEY"RE EXPERTS IN FIGHTING TO THE DEATH! THE CUTTHROATS! AS IN THROAT CUTTERS! PEOPLE WHO CUT THROATS! ITS SUICIDE TO GOING UP AGAINST THEM MISA-CHAN!" Ikkun cried.
"Shut up!" Misaki smacked him. "Take me to where they are fighting! I cant let them do something so stupid! It'll reflect badly on our school if they get into trouble!"
"I-is that really something to worry about at a time like this?" Ikkun sniffled.
"Of course it is!"
"Misaki-chan, you cant go to a gang fight!" You-kun protested. "It'll be too dangerous for you! Just let me go, and I'll take care of it!" You-kun smiled, sparkling with pride.
"I want to come too Prez," Usui said.
Misaki huffed at Usui's sudden presence. Usui had been hanging around her for the past few weeks after finding out she worked as a maid at Maid Latte. Apparently holding that secret over her head, and teasing her about You-kun was his only life.
"Takumi!" You-kun grouched. "Why do you always have to follow us around?!"
"To protect Misa-chan," Usui answered plainly.
Misaki started to steam with annoyance.
"She doesn't need you to protect her! I protect her!" You-kun defended stubbornly.
"I protect her from you," Usui smirked and put a hand on both Misaki and You-kun's heads. "Someone has to make sure you two don't take advantage of being alone together."
You-kun blushed and Misaki shook off Usui's hand, trying not to turn red or look at You-kun. She knew how Usui loved making them feel awkward. Usui was the only one who knew that she returned You-kun's feelings.
"Whatever! Lets just GO!"
~o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o~
Ikkun led the way and eventually the four of them reached the abandoned convenience store parking lot where the fight was apparently being held.
Misaki saw the other two idiots, Shiroyan and Kurotatsu, standing with a group of slightly younger delinquents. Gouki was among them (A/N: he's that stupid crybaby punk who kidnaps Yukimura).
No doubt he was the cause of all this trouble, Misaki thought, remembering how much of a hot-head the boy was.
Across the lot was another group. Just looking at them gave Misaki a chill. They had weapons, bats, chains, etc. but they were also HUGE. She knew they meant business and there was no way she could let students fight REAL gangsters.
"HEY!" she yelled at the two idiots. "What the hell do you guys think your doing?!"
"Shiroyan! Kurotatsu!" Ikkun cried.
"Prez!" Shiroyan and Kurotatsu both called and waved happily.
"Come to cheer us on?!" Shiroyan grinned. "We're gonna kick some Cutthroat butt!"
Before she could respond, the Cutthroats addressed the students.
"Think your pretty tough huh kid?" one said. "Ha! I'd like to see how long that confidence would last in the ring…"
"You should know that the Cutthroats don't take it lightly when someone trespasses on their territory," another one said. "heh, you kids shouldn't have shown up…you would've lived longer," the man smiled dangerously.
Gouki clenched his fists.
"Prepare to enter a world of pain!" the Cutthroats started to descend upon the Idiots group.
Randomly, music started playing.
"Huh?" You-kun looked around for the source of the noise.
The Cutthroats stopped dead in their tracks as a hooded figure leap down from the abandoned shop; they had an IPod in their hand and a katana on their back.
The two idiots looked at each other with panicked faces, getting a bad feeling about who it was.
"Is that the Sandlot soundtrack?" Usui asked, listening to the song.
"How should I know?" Misaki answered, not caring what he was talking about.
"You, minion," said the person in the hoody, addressing the leader of the Cutthroat group. Misaki was shocked to hear that the voice was female.
"Weapons?... REallY?!" the hooded girl chided. "There's only seven of them and you brought TEN guys with you!"
"The Boss would've wanted us to squash any threats—"
"Is my father HERE? I don't see him!" the girl interjected. "Which means that the chain of command falls to ME. Got that Sherlock? Now, ANSWER MY QUESTION!"
"W-well..."he swallowed, "Miss Minatsuki, w-we didn't know h-how many were going to show up—"
"How many times have I told you to call me Sir?!"
"YesSir! Sorry SIR! I just—"
Before he could finish she jabbed him in the neck and he choked out.
"They are barely HIGHSCHOOLERS! What honor is there in attacking a bunch of kids?! YOU ARE A DISGRACE!" she jabbed him again.
"GAH!*cough* Miss Minatsuki PLEASE!"
"Call me SIR god-DAMMIT!" she continued jabbing him as he cried.
Misaki, You-kun, and Usui: *sweatdrop*
"I knew it!" Shiroyan cried out and pointed.
"It's her!" Kurotatsu also pointed. "The shadow of the Minatsuki Clan!"
"And Heiress to the Cutthroat Showdown!" Both idiots then cringed as the girl slowly turned towards them, the shadow of her hood still obscuring her face.
"…how rude. Interrupting like that," she said coldly, "Looks like you boys ALSO need a lesson in respect."
"Uh…" Shiroyan gulped, and then whispered to his fellow idiot. "You know… she sounds like she's gonna kill us…."
"…she sounds scarier than the Prez.." Kurotatsu nodded. "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea…" the two idiots started backing away as she advanced toward them.
"HA!" Gouki sneered, "What are you two so afraid of?! Shes a girl! Now is our time to strike!"
The girl stopped and turned her head towards the new voice.
"GOUKI!"
"SHUT UP!"
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO SHE IS?!"
"She's the eyes and ears of the Cutthroats!" The two idiots went back and forth.
"—Said to have fists of steel!"
"—And never lost a fight in the Arena!"
"—The She-Wolf!"
"—The Gladiator!"
"—The Wildcat!"
"You know….I was going to let you off with a warning…." She let her words linger. "But I really Hate being underestimated…" Her hand flew up and every one of the idiot's group members ducked.
….but nothing happened….They peeked through their fingers and saw her scrolling on her IPod.
"…no…..nope…mmhhhh, no," she kept scrolling through her playlist.
Usui smirked as he watched her.
"Is she even taking this seriously?!" Misaki sweated.
"Haaang on….hmm, would you guys rather get your asses kicked to 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' or 'Burnin Down the House'?" the girl asked blankly.
"How about 'Rock You Like a Hurricane?" Usui called from across the lot.
"What are you doing?!" Misaki whispered.
Usui only smiled and looked back at the hooded girl.
She didn't look up from her IPod, but she tilted her head, considering his suggestion.
"Nah," she shot him down.
"Then how about 'What's New Pussycat?' Eh, Wildcat?"
That comment got her attention, and the girl abruptly looked in Usui's direction.
"Usui," Misaki reproached.
"You 'Wanna Be Starting Something' wise guy?" the girl warned, trying to beat him at whatever game he was playing.
"'Give It to Me Baby'." A sly grin crossed his face as he accepted the challenge.
"'Hit the Road Jack'!" she snapped.
"Ooo, 'Foxy Lady'," Usui jeered, waving his hand coyly. Everyone just stared back and forth at the song title duel. Even the Cutthroats looked baffled by the turn of events.
How can they respond that fast? Misaki thought, utterly perplexed.
" 'WHITE AND NERDY'!" the Wildcat taunted at the top of her lungs.
" 'All the girlies say Im Pretty Fly for a White Guy'," Usui corrected. The girl stammered with outrage before she could respond.
"Song titles only! You included lyrics!" she pointed a finger accusingly at him. "That means you're disqualified! CHEATER!"
"You're the one who's making up rules."
"SHUT UP SMARTASS!"
"You whine like a mule."
"USUI!" You-kun and Misaki exclaimed.
The Wildcat was blatantly offended by his teasing, her teeth set on edge as she growled with fury.
"Have you got a death wish kid?!" one of the Cutthroats shouted.
"….Im gonna murder that stupid smartass…" a swirling vortex of malice began to radiate from the girl as she drew her katana from its sheath on her back.
"How can I be stupid if Im a smarta—"
"USUI!" Misaki smacked a hand over his mouth before he could finish, then shoved his head forward making him bow. "Please accept our apology uh, Wildcat-sama!"
"Yeah!" You-kun added. "He didn't mean it! That's just how Takumi talks—Ow! Misa-chan.." You-kun whimpered. Misaki had elbowed You-kun to shut him up, fearing he would make it worse.
"Why don't we just call it a tie and make it even? Heh heh?" Misaki twitched.
That girl wouldn't really use that katana…..Would she? Then Misaki looked down at Usui and reconsidered.
"Well at least ONE of you has common sense," the girl sheathed her sword. "Your smartass friend over there owes you his measly little life!"
Misaki sighed with relief and released Usui. He stood up and brooded at Misaki while rubbing the back of his head.
"Killjoy," he complained.
"NOW! WE're listening to 'Shoot to Thrill'. Cuz that's how Tony Stark does it and that how IM gonna do it," the girl selected the AC/DC song and then had one of the Cutthroat members take the IPod.
"Just hold it and I'll be done with these guys before the song is over," she strutted toward the idiot gang, looking far more eager for a fight then she had earlier.
Shiroyan and Kurotatsu tried to quell their fears of death staring them in the face.
"Y-you only live once right?" sputtered Kurotatsu.
"Y-yeah.," Shiroyan, "guess we m-might as well go down swinging. We'll be famous for getting into a f-fight with the W-Wildcat."
"And if we beat her!" Gouki shouted with determination, "We'll be legends!"
"This is ridiculous! Why do they have to fight?!" Misaki made to walk in the middle of it and straighten them out but You-kun caught her arm.
"Misa-chan," he shook his head. "Don't interfere, please Misa-chan, it dangerous!"
"Yeah Prez, don't go spoiling the fight," Usui's eyes followed the girl. "I want to see what this Wildcat's made of…"
"'Pull the Triggggerrrr!'" the hooded girl sang, "SHaAAAH!" The girl kick-flipped Kurotatsu right in his face, knocking him out. Then dodged Shiroyan's attack and went head on towards two of the other boys.
"KUROTATSU!" Ikkun sobbed from the side-lines.
She punched one in the face, caught the fist of the other and then back and forth kicked both of them in their stomachs four times.
"Three down!" she announced just as Shiroyan came at her a second time. She dodged him, and then effortlessly twirled out of the way just as someone attacked from behind. She easily grabbed Gouki's arm and twisted it behind his back.
"Gouki!" Shiroyan shouted. Then the girl used Gouki as a boost to flip up and over him. Still air-born she kicked one of the guys in the face, knocking him out before she landed. Gouki came at her again, and got put in a headlock. He sputtered for air while having to keep up with the girls pace as she fought Shiroyan. She had already punched him twice: once in the nose and once in the stomach. Bloodied, Shiroyan charged her again but she shifted so that Gouki took the hit instead.
"WaTCH IT!" the kid shouted.
"Sorry!" Shiroyan retreated, trying to determine how to attack without injuring Gouki.
"Not his fault you got caught," the girl laughed and bopped Gouki on the head. Then she shoved him forward and kicked him right in the butt, sending the kid flying into Shiroyan and knocking both to the ground.
"Whoooooah! She's good!" You-kun gaped and tightened his grip around Misaki. "Stay close Misa-chan."
"You-kun, im fine!" Misaki protested, but didn't escape.
"Six down!" the girl said as she sent another man packing. Shiroyan had recovered from his fall but Gouki was still down, though he started crawling. One of the Cutthroat members saw this and smugly drew out a knife.
Shiroyan aimed a kick at the girl's side, which she side-swiped and retaliated with her own kick, sending him reeling backwards into the dirt.
"And that's the Game!" she hollered and fist pumped into the air.
Amazing…Misaki thought. She subdued them all without getting hit even once…
"Shiroyan! Kurotatsu!" Ikkun ran over to his fellow idiots.
"Just where you think you're running off to punk?" knife in hand, the man approached Gouki as he crawled away.
"Hey! Somebody stop him!" Misaki surged, but Usui put his hand up.
"Look," he said.
"Im gonna cut you up you weak little—gaAAHH!"
The girl twisted her henchmen's wrist until he dropped the knife.
"Attacking someone who's unarmed and beaten, That is what I would call weak," she said to the gangster.
"Yes Miss—"
She shot him daggers with her eyes.
"I MEAN! Yes SIR!"
Gouki watched the gangsters carefully as he crept toward the knife on the ground.
"Good," she dropped the man's wrist as he winced. "We're done here then…Didn't I say I'd be done before the song ended!?" she glowed with pride.
"Your not getting away with this!" Gouki cried out as he charged at the girl with the knife.
He couldn't believe how she could defeat all of them so easily; she didn't even break a sweat! How was that possible?
"ILL BEAT YOU!"
"What is that idiot doing?!" Misaki shouted. Usui took a step forward, but then stopped.
The girl had already caught Gouki's hand with the knife and ran him up against the wall of the building.
Gouki trembled as he looked into the shadow of her face, he could barely make out her mysterious eyes.
"You have to MEAN IT Harry…" ( A/N: HAHAH I couldn't resist using that quote) She twirled the blade through her fingers with swift precision. "Like THIS," and she stabbed the knife through his hand and straight into the concrete, pinning his hand to the wall.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Gouki screamed in pain.
"Oh hush, its not like it's gonna kill you," she patted his cheek as he squealed in pain. "I did you a favor by letting you off easy…your not left-handed are you?"
"I AM left handed!"Gouki sobbed as he tried to pull the knife out, but it was stuck.
"….oh," The girl actually looked slightly remorseful. "…my bad…."
"HOLY CRAP!" You-kun shrieked. "She STABBED HIM MISAKI! SHE REALLY DID!" he pulled her close. "We should leave before the cops get involved! What if they take us in for questioning!? What if they take us DOWN TOWN?! Granpa and Granma would kill me! WOW Ive never seen someone get stabbed! Do you think it really hurt!?"
Misaki blinked as he babbled.
"Shouldn't you be more concerned about calling an AMBULANCE YOU-KUN?"
"Huh?!" You-kun looked at her. "OH! Your right! I didn't think of that!"
"HEY," the girl called towards them. "Smartass! And you other moral support people! Make sure these guys clear outta here before midnight, cuz if I come back and they're still here," she turned back to Gouki.
"I'll finish you," the girl hissed.
Gouki gulped.
"I suggest you take that knife out as soon as possible," she left Gouki whining over his imprisoned hand.
"Are you sure you're ok?" Ikkun said to a mangled Kurotatsu. Shiroyan had limped over to try and help Gouki get his hand free, with no luck.
"Y-yeaH…"
"Wow," Usui commented. "Your eye is all black and puffy…like a mushroom growing on your face."
"I cant believe we're just letting them leave, shouldn't they answer to the police?" Misaki said as she tried waking/smacking one of the boys up.
"How much do you know about the Cutthroats, Misaki?" Usui asked her.
"Ummm," she said dumbly, "not much besides what I heard today…"
"They are typically the type to leave no survivors, no matter what the dispute is about," Usui said, his eyes trailing back towards the girl in the hoody. "And they're known for picking up wannabe-delinquents and forcing them to fight in their tournaments for sport, so it could've ended much worse…. We were lucky she intervened."
Misaki frowned and looked over at the Cutthroats and was once again confused by the behavior of the girl who seemed to be their superior. She was yelling again.
"—this is the worst kind of exit music! I leave you in charge of my IPod for 5 minutes and at the opportunity for us to walk out of here with awesome background music, you pick Gwen Stefani's The Sweet Escape?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU! GIVE ME THAT!" she swiped the IPod out of the shaking Cutthroats hand.
Misaki noticed Usui was watching.
"Remind me to never let you be DJ again, stupid minion," she griped and started shuffling through her playlist again. "Actually, now that this song is going… I forgive you minion. Lets move out," the group started leaving as the girl—with no shame what so ever—started singing "Wooooo-Hooooo! YEEEEEE-Hooooo!" along with the song.
"Excuse me! Umm, Wildcat!(?)" Misaki stood and called out.
"Eh?" the girl turned around.
"Thank you," Misaki said, "for showing these idiots mercy."
The girl laughed.
"Don't thank me till you get that kid's hand free," she threw one last glare at Usui, "And you're gonna get YOURS! SMARTASS!" she shook her fist at him and then went on her way. "WOoooo-Hooooo! YEEEEE-HOOOO!"
And the Cutthroats left.
Shiroyan, Ikkun, You-Kun, and Misaki combined couldn't manage to pull the knife out.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" Gouki sobbed. "THAT DEMON PUT A SPELL ON THE KNIFE AND SEALED ME HERE! AND SHES GOING TO COME BACK AND CLAIM MY SOUL!"
"Don't worry Gouki," Shiroyan calmed, "We'll get you free you crybaby….USUI-SAN! HEEELP!"
Misaki didn't get why he hadn't been helping in the first place. He called an ambulance, which was on its way, but then he had just been hanging back and spacing out it.
Finally he sauntered over and with one hand he yanked on the blade.
But it didn't give.
Only Misaki could have recognized the surprise on his face. Then with two hands the knife finally pulled free.
Gouki collapsed on Usui's feet, crying in praise as his hand gushed. Usui just looked at the knife, and at the gash in the wall where it had been struck.
"…Wow."
To be continued…
…..
So this next chapt gets into more of the funny/complicated stuff and closer look at Saya/the Wildcat. She gets an outrageous order from her father to "accommodate" a certain pervert. Apron goes on and gloves come off…translation: she has a melt down. HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!
