A/N: Hey guys! Well this is my first time trying my hands on writing science fiction where I am terribly new so really nervous and excited for the same. And yes, I know I have two pending fan fictions which I actually don't know whether to continue or not as I feel like I lost the interest of continuing them and probably the readers are not too keen to read as well so that's a secondary topic which I don't want to discuss now. Anyways this fan fic is something which I am not going to abandon as I have the rough draft ready with me but again depends upon the reviews and whether people are liking the concept or not. So now without further adios, let's get started. [This story is going to be a 1:10 ratio mix of the anime and AU] Disclaimer: I neither own Maid Sama nor the characters but I do own the story.

"Away beyond this world of right doing and wrong doing there is a field. I'll meet you there."

DAY 1

"Train no. 256 going to Shibuya is coming to platform no. 3. Please move back and stand below the yellow line. Be careful so that you don't get your handbags caught. Please be…"

The announcement continues as the train approaches the platform. Soon the hustle bustle begins as the train stopped and people moved inside. The door closes followed by the caution announcements.

Ayuzawa Misaki felt a strong sense of gaze from her left side as she was standing near a metal pole, listening to her favorite songs on her smart phone. Her eyes moved towards the direction to see a blond tuft of hair moving his head to the other side on being caught. Her curiosity rises as she tried to take a closer glimpse. To her surprise, the blonde looked at her side again and their eyes met. Turquoise green met amber.

Soon recognition falls on the brunette, 'Is that Usui Takumi?'

Her thought came to a abrupt stop as the train reached the station and the passengers started moving. Misaki tried to find her way towards the exit door. As she was out, she started looking for the said person but to her surprise he was nowhere.

"I am sure that was Usui. We were in the same class in Seika High." Misaki mumbled aloud.

"Indeed we were."

Misaki got startled hearing a voice so close and looked up to find Usui standing with a small smile on his lips.

"It's been quite a long time. How're you doing Usui?" Misaki gave a bright smile and forwarded her hand for a shake.

Takumi looked at her and then at her extended hand and instead of a hand shake, he pulled her hand in his grasp.

"So better now." Takumi breathed, his eyes flickered a bit of something that resembled relief.

Misaki found his gaze captivating and his hand so warm that for a second she forgot that he was completely holding her hand and was not letting it go.

She broke the hand contact as her eyes darted around awkwardly.

"Can we go for a cup of coffee?" Takumi tilted his head towards her side to get back her attention.

"Co...coffee?"

"I won't take your much time, Misaki. Shall we go?" With a light smile Takumi started moving forward.

Misaki was startled for a moment that he used her first name without any hesitation. Then she remembered that he went to live overseas so there it must be a common practice.

"Oh now I remember" Misaki walked fast to match his steps "After graduation, you went to Overseas right?"

"I did" Takumi stopped and looked at her. It sounded more of a question than an answer.

They took the nearest bus from the stop and sat side by side.

Every now and then, Misaki looked at him and nodded or gave a smile while Takumi's gaze was fixed at her.

"I missed you." Misaki heard a faint murmur from him and as she turned, she saw him looking outside.

"Did you just say something?"

Takumi turned towards her side and with a small nod, he denied.

Soon the bus came to a halt and they hopped down.

"That's our usual café. Let's go." Takumi took Misaki's hand and before she could protest, he pulled her and they went inside.

'Did he just say "our usual café" but it's my first time—' Misaki's thought comes to a stop where she felt a glimpse of two people sitting on one of the tables, laughing and teasing each other, the girl looked like her while the guy looked like…"

"Misaki...Mi..Ayuzawa. Are you okay?"

Takumi kept a firm hand on her shoulder and made her sit on one of the chairs. Misaki kept a hand over her head as Takumi asked for a glass of water and handed her as the waiter provides them. She sipped a bit and kept the glass aside.

"I am sorry if I forced you to come with me. It's just..I was happy to see you again Ayuzawa."

"That's fine Usui but have you ever noticed me in school?" Misaki smirked "I mean you used to have a big fan following of female peers whom you used to reject every single time. We never had a single conversation in school."

Takumi looked shocked for a moment but he was quick to hide it. "Of course we never had one. But that doesn't mean I never noticed you Kaichou."

Takumi gave her his own sexy smirk which made Misaki flushed a bit. Suddenly she could hear the word Kaichou in her brain again as for a moment it felt like this was not the first time she was called in this endearing tone. She looked up to find him gazing at her lovingly.

"Let's order something." Misaki said to change the subject.

Takumi called the waiter and they ordered for a Latté and Cappuccino respectively.

"So where were you going today?" Takumi opened a general topic to make her comfortable.

"Oh today it's an office week off for me so I usually come to the Central market as they have lot more things than the normal departmental store and then I got to meet Tora as his office is nearby."

"Tora…Tora Igarashi from Miyabiaoka High School?" Takumi looked crestfallen for a moment.

"Yeah" Misaki gave him a confused smile "We got together after graduation and we are engaged now." A natural blush came on her cheeks as she mentioned this.

Just at the moment, the waiter came and placed their respective drinks and with a bow, he took his leave.

"How can you be engaged to that guy? That guy tried to assault you once." Takumi found his voice getting louder but he can't stop himself.

"Assault? Misaki looked angrily at him. "Mr. Usui, I think you're having some confusion here, he never assaulted me. We are a couple from the high school days."

Takumi lowered his eyes and ran his hands on his face. He took a deep breath and faced her.

"I am sorry. I was...was confusing him with some other person. Please forget what I said."

Misaki looked at him looking apologetic and with a smile she forgives him. In order to lighten the atmosphere, they talked about other stuff happening in their lives and exchanged numbers to keep in touch.

After paying the bill, they headed outside.

"It was really nice meeting you, Usui." Misaki grinned at him.

Takumi grinned back.

"You are so different here." He murmured more to him then to her.

"Huh?" Misaki cocked a confused brow at him to which he nodded with a melancholy smile.

"Shall I escort you till your place?"

"No I am good." Misaki nodded "Keep in touch." With this she waved at him and hailed a taxi.

"I will." Takumi waved back as a tear trickled down his cheek.

With a slight rustling in his pocket, Takumi pull the flat key and shoved it inside the key lock. At a click sound, he opened the door. He took a bit of the surrounding and made himself comfortable on the sofa.

He fetched for his phone from his jean pocket and started going through his gallery pictures. His hand stopped at the picture of a little baby girl. Blonde hair, amber eyes and a toothy smile.

'My little angel.' Takumi placed the phone close to his chest and closed his eyes.

He opened his eyes and tilted his body sideways to find a piece of paper fold on the side table. He kept the phone aside and took the folded paper and started reading.

"I am going out to run some errands.

Food is stock on the fridge. Microwave it.

I'll be back by evening."

-Je

Takumi sighed a bit and dialed a number.

"Je" Takumi sounded breathless.

"Can't contain your happiness child?"

Takumi could hear a hearty smile on the other end of the phone. He smiled hearing him.

"Thank you so much old man. Please come home soon. I can't wait to tell you what happened today."

"You met her, right?"

"Yes I met her, she is a bit different here but she is still the same, still my Misa." Takumi found his throat choking as tears stung his eyes.

"Good for you. Good for you." Je smiled "But child, remember your promise?"

Takumi's eyes became motionless for a moment but with a deep sigh, he nodded "Yes I do."

"Good. Meet you in the evening." With a click, he hung the phone.

"I am sorry Mr Usui but we were not able to save your wife."

"You're lying she is not dead, she is not dead you get that." Takumi screamed and grabbed him by his collar. The guards came and separated the two of them.

Takumi sat on the floor lifeless.

"No..no" Takumi got up with a thud. He was sweating a lot. His looked at his surroundings and took deep breaths to calm himself. It was a dream.

"Child, are you okay." A man clad in orange robe came and sat beside him. He gave him a glass of water which he took and emptied the glass taking large gulps.

"Je" Takumi said "Sorry for disturbing you."

"Sleep is not important child." Je placed a hand on his shoulder "If this getting too much for you then we can always go.."

"No." Takumi stopped him midway, "I don't want to go, not yet."

"Suit yourself."

With a sigh, Je stood and folded his arms behind his back as he left leaving a Takumi looking at the wall blankly.
