That Odd Boy

Summary: Natsume Takashi moves into the Ayuzawa residence. With his looks that are on par with Usui's, and the fact that he is attending Seika High, Usui is facing jealousy issues regarding his girlfriend. Well, he's not the only one feeling so...


Chapter 1

"Please treat me well, Ayuzawa-san."

Misaki stares at the blond, who's bowing, in front of her. Minako smiles sheepishly at her eldest daughter, aware of the shock the teen's politeness causes.

"A-ah, sure...?"

"I'm Natsume Takashi, and I will be in your care. Please treat me well..."

Overall, the high school president is shocked. After all, she is the president of a delinquent school! The teen's amber brown eyes are guarded, not giving away any emotion of some sort. From Misaki's careful observation, his blond hair is natural, much like a certain perverted alien, but there are streaks of brown.

"Natsume-san, may I call you Takashi-kun?"

After a moment of hesitation, Takashi answers with a quiet, "Un, Ayuzawa-san."

"O-oh, please call me Misaki! "Ayuzawa-san" makes me sound old!"

"Hai, Ayu- Misaki-san."

Misaki sighs, knowing that this is the best she can get from the blond. He is very cooperative, Misaki thinks to herself, a little too cooperative for a boy who's been switching homes between relatives. Misaki can't help feeling suspicious of the boy, after handling many delinquents at her school.

"Okay, Takashi-kun, let me show you to your room. You must be tired from your travel!"

Minako ushers the quiet teen towards the stairs, carrying his small carrier bag. However, the boy continues to shock Misaki further as he stops her mum and picks up his own bag, shooting a reassuring smile towards the woman.

"Please, let me carry my bag, Ayuzawa-san. It's the least I can do, since you've let me stay here."

"A-ah, hai, Takashi-kun. Come, your room will be next to Misaki's."

As her mum and Takashi disappear up the stairs, the youngest Ayuzawa returns home from her grocery errand.

"Tadaima, nee-chan. Do we have a guest?"

"Ah, Suzuna! It seems that someone was handed to us to care for..."

"Oh?"

"Ah, Suzuna, you're back! Let me introduce you to Takashi-kun! He'll be living with us from now on..."

Suzuna spies the top of a blond head, an inch higher than her mother. Minako moves aside, revealing the blond boy behind her. Suzuna's usually droopy eyes widen slightly as she takes in Takashi's appearance. After a moment of studying the teen, Suzuna nudges her elder sister.

"Ne, he looks like a quieter and shorter version of Usui-kun, nee-chan."

Takshi raises an eyebrow at the blunt comment, but says nothing as Misaki hastily slaps a hand over her blunt sister's mouth. Honestly, her apathetic and lay-back personality is sometimes a bad thing when it comes to new people!

"It's alright, Misaki-san. Her opinion of me is a lot better if compared to the ones I've received."

The Ayuzawa family stare at the boy in shock as his statement begins to settle. There is a sad smile on his face as his mind returns to the time when he received all the bad remarks.

"Liar!"

"Weirdo!"

"Freak!"

Takashi jumps in shock as a pair of arms wrap themselves around his waist, bringing him out of his thoughts. Minako rests her head on his shoulder, offering comfort from his painful past. Although she doesn't know the entire story to his past, Minako's got a gist of things when he arrived at the residence with a letter from his previous guardians.

"Don't worry, Takashi-kun. We'll take good care of you!"

A small smile graces his lips, shocking the Ayuzawa family with its beauty and innocent thanks. It showed that he hasn't had any good guardians for a while now, and is truly grateful. Suddenly, he shivers and his eyes gaze behind Misaki, widening frantically.

Misaki's eyebrows furrow as she looks behind her, but sees nothing. Meanwhile, Takashi carefully removes himself from Minako's hug. He shoots her an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, Ayuzawa-san, but I have something to tend to. Sorry!"

Takashi hastily brushes past the Ayuzawa sisters, running out the front door as if hell is at his heels. Misaki frowns at the door slams shut after the teen.
