2. UNANSWERED QUESTION
As soon as Usui felt Misaki's gaze no longer held him... he walked back to her house. He stared at the window as the light in the room lit up.
He stared at it as turmoil of emotions went through him. 'How is this possible? How can she see me! Can she feel me too...can she touch me?' He immediately shook the thought off. He couldn't take the risk of trying. He decided he would maintain his distance. Till she had enough faith in him... till she believed him- if that's ever going to happen- he would conceal his secret. He would not tell her the truth... not at the stake of his only hope.
At past midnight, he saw the window on the upstairs of Ayuzawa's house darkened as the light was switched off. 'Working till late night' he sighed and rested his back on wall. He looked up at the moon, glowing bright between the many stars and not hidden by any clouds. Somehow, the beauty reminded him of the innocence of the girl he just met... her captivating eyes were the only thing that kept on persisting him the whole night. Not that he had anything better to do... he couldn't sleep... even if he wanted to.
He was sure he would go insane with the number of thoughts that invaded his mind. So, he decided to go check on himself. He reached the place he wanted to and saw the empty roads. There was no one around at this time but still he could see the little activity inside the glassy building. He walked in to find the nurses, in pink suits, walking briskly carrying trays and equipments, patients were being shifted from one room to another and doctors in ghostly coats examining files and seriously giving instructions.
He lazily reached the seventh floor and entered a room labeled 703. As he went inside, he couldn't help but feel the familiar tug of pain. There, his body laid peacefully, connected to different machines. His heart beat in regular pulses made a faint beeping sound as the graph began to grow more irregular. This didn't surprise him. It always happened when he was close…when his soul was close.
That was what he decided to call himself. He didn't like the terms ghost or spirit when he was still alive…well, mostly. The door creaked as a doctor in her white coat walked in to check up on him. Behind her walked a person and on seeing him, Usui lost his calm face. He was filled with rage and anger.
"Gerard-Sama," the doctor called. "His condition shows no improvement. Why don't you take him back to Britain? Maybe the specialists there could be of some help."
"Maybe Dr. Maria," he said getting close to the short lady and she squirmed under his glare, "but that would make my grandfather worried. We don't want that now, do we?" He moved back and held her gaze till she fidgeted with uneasy and left the room. When the black haired man smirked, Usui was at his limits. He dragged himself out considering the fact that hitting that guy would do no good…of course he couldn't.
He went back to the only place he felt he had hope to Misaki Ayuzawa's home. Just thinking of her made his heart fill with happiness and warmth. He was looking forward to meet her, to watch her strange but confident reactions.
...
Misaki rushed to the kitchen, ready to go to school. She wasn't late... but she had to be there early to check upon the works in school. As the Seika High's student council president, she had many responsibilities. She quickly grabbed some bread and with a quick farewell to her mother and sister, she was out.
Along with a creek from their old gate, a familiar voice greeted her as soon as she stepped outside. "Good morning Ayuzawa," he smiled.
She jumped out of surprise and immediately composed herself. "What are you doing here?" she asked walking out and tearing the package that held the bread. Chewing slowly, she noted that he hasn't changed his attire.
"Nothing. Thought of accompanying you to your school," he said eying her uniform. "Where do you study? I can't recognize that uniform."
A flash of anger hit her. He lived nearby and still did not know their school? Though she would accept that it was unpopular with elite group... and yes, this guy Usui did look like some kind of young master from a rich family. "Its Seika High's uniform. And I am the student council president," she said walking straight.
She could see his smirk but didn't start up an argument. "Which school are you from?" she asked a little curious.
He seemed lost for some time. Then, "Miyabigaoka" he said hurriedly. She expected it. The school for rich students that was more like a castle of some sort. "Don't you have school today?" she asked as his plain blue shirt and jeans were clearly not his uniform.
"I am working on a science project," he said flatly.
"Of stalking?" she glared at him only to hear him laugh out loud.
"Oh I hope it was. I would have chosen you for that Misa-chan," he winked.
"Don't call me that here you stupid," she growled. "I go by that name in Maid Latte only."
"But that's a cute name. It suits you… also the way you say Master," he grinned.
She completely ignored him and asked, "Can I have a real reason why you are out of school…" and as an afterthought, she added, "And why are you following me?"
"It's kind of investigation about supernatural things. Things not connected to the real world, like…" he looked at her straight in the eye and continued, "souls…to know more about them…." He said and it was Misaki's turn to burst out laughing.
She placed her hand on a wall for support and composed herself. "You believe in such things?" she asked ridiculous at the idea. Though she was afraid of ghost when she was little, she got a grip on it in during her middle school and was sure nothing of that sort exists.
When she looked up at him, she was blushed seeing him smiling at her and also surprised as she registered the seriousness in his voice. His smile so pure and his eyes held a mystery that she doubted she could ever know.
"Some things in your life happen so unexpectedly that you are forced to believe in what you don't Ayuzawa," he smiled again after saying that. "I think you are too special to be normal. You can see things the others don't," and then started walking away.
"Wait! What do you mean I see things?" she asked feeling a bit sad that he was leaving. Stop it! She scolded her mind for feeling a little attached to a stranger.
He turned and gave her a million dollar smile. "You'll have to wait for the answer till my project comes to an end, Ayuzawa. Let's keep in touch." And he left, leaving a completely confused Misaki behind him.
