' Maid Sama'- an individual's thought.

Maid Sama- flashback

" MAID SAMA" - shouting

" I don't think that's such a good idea Misaki," His eyebrows furrowed, really worried for his friend.

" Well...? What would you do if you were in my situation Hinata? I'm sure you'd do the same thing you know..." She trialed off, waiting for a response to answer on the other line.

She heard him sigh before he spoke," Well if you're asking for my opinion, the least I can say is that I should ask permission FIRST before I do anything stupid."

" Who said this was stupid? This whole marriage thing is just crap, and if I make the worst decision, well let's just say it's all your fault when I came and took your advice instead of my own."

" Misaki look, I know I can't judge you just because I can say something, but really, I mean it. If you and that Takumi guy or something are plotting a problem behind your guys' parents' backs, that you're just digging yourself deeper to the hole of hell."

" Hmp, thanks for your words of wisdom Hinata, but... I don't need it. Although I might tell my mom about this. She's the good one."

" How about your father?" He asked over-curiosity.

" Sheesh, I called you for some comfort but you're sounding like you're on dad's side this time. Tell me... did he give you some money so you'll encourage me to support this whole arranged marriage thing?" She slightly yelled. Even if they were just chatting on the phone, Hinata could picture Misaki having steam going out of her ears, as if she was mad.

" What the heck? You know I wouldn't do that!" He denied truthfully.

She raised an eyebrow, not believing his honest comment, " Sure whatever. Just meet me up the park in thirty minutes. I need a break from all of this."

Hinata smiled by his friend's random offer, " S-sure. Sounds like a plan.

" Come in," his eyes automatically diverted to the door. " Sir Sakuya? Madame Ayuzawa? What are you doing here?"

Minako was the first one to speak, " Visiting you of course. Are we interrupting something? I mean... we could come back later if you want-"

" No, no, you're not disrupting anything. Please take a seat, I know I can't offer you a chair but I'd like to try," He remarked, handling himself to stand up to reach the chair nearby. But the sudden dizziness took over his body and made him collapse, back on the bed.

The older woman gasped, " Don't over work yourself Gerard, I know you need some rest. And besides, Sakuya has the chair for me already, so you don't need to get all gentle man, especially when you're not clearly at the right state."

" She's right Gerard, you are not here to serve us. We are here, to serve you." Sakuya finally spoke.

" I'm sorry to say this, but may I ask again if why you're here perhaps? I can take care of myself, sir and madame. So I don't insist on having assistance if that's why you all came for." Gerard warned.

Minako giggled, covering her mouth to not sound impolite. " Even if you're not in good condition. You're always thinking about yourself. What good could it do to your body when you're not even thinking about yourself first?"

" I'd like to answer that too, but sadly, I can't. I don't have the right words to prove that, and either way. It's my nature to think about others first. That's my priority as for being a Walker." He answered, eyes focusing at the window for great avoidance of any of their eyes.

Her hand patted his head, " You're just like your father."

" Minako... can we talk just only the two of us?" Sakuya requested rather shamelessly. His sudden warning sent chills on Minako that she responded quickly. " This is urgent."

" Fine, but if you need me, I'll just be outside." She agreed. When she finally closed the door, Gerard talked immediately.

" Sir, if you are here to talk about business, I'd be happy to be the one who'll start first."

" Gerard, I did not simply requested Minako to leave so that we could have this business talk, but rather instead. I wanted to be alone with you because particularly, I want you to hear my words. I want you to forget about the arranged marriage and listen up. Heal soon son, because if you've honestly took yourself outside of that door. You cannot bear to see any happy, joyful traits. It'll be all sorrow and pain."

" I'm honored to hear your words Sir, but may I ask something else? Why do you want to me to heal, when you personally know that this is an impossible wish?"

" Because I know there are miracles," Sakuya simply answered, leaving off with five minutes of silence, enveloping the entire room.

...

" Continuing to hear your nice sayings want me to marry your daughter even more," He managed to tease without having to blush, right in front of the mentioned girl's father.

" This is no time for that," Sakuya turned his back, ready to leave.

" Don't worry, if I can't get off this bed by tomorrow. I'll have a replacement for my place. And trust me, it'll be over your expectations." Gerard quoted, making Sakuya to face him with a hopeful expression.

" Didn't I tell you I didn't come here just because of the arranged marriage?" Sakuya spat.

The sick one smirked, " Any father would be worried for his daughter's future. I'm sure you're not any different."

" Hey Satsuki, where are the folks?" She asked, referring to her parent. Attending breakfast without the assistance of either one of her parents were a little to off for Misaki, besides, having that mouth of hers, she couldn't possibly hold off the questions surrounding in her mind.

" Oh I forgot! They left you a note," Satsuki exclaimed, rummaging in her pocket for the message she was seeking for. She extended her hand to Misaki, " Here."

Misaki plopped down a banana before peeking at the note. ' Get ready for dinner. We will visit the Walkers.'

" Ugh, again?" She complained when she lazily lift herself up the diner chair and headed to the stairs. " Satsuki? Would you mind preparing an outfit for a decent dinner for me tonight? I'm going to a business dinner that's why."

" Yeah sure, I will. Hey, where are you going? It looks like you're heading somewhere else other than your room," Satsuki pointed out, shouting across the kitchen in able to send the message to Misaki.

" I am. I'm meeting Hinata at the park, so I'll probably be back at four. And my phone's in my room, so I have to get it in a sec."

" Okay then, have fun!"

Misaki replied, " Yeah!"

Saturday morning was considered heaven for him. All day he had freedom, but as of today, it was a little different. Because of Gerard being sick and his parents were busy accompanying him, the youngest Walker had to deal with his cousin. The two were basically companion in hands when it comes to dealing family problems, and they didn't have anything to oppose that.

He wasn't any different to Takumi, especially when they attended the same school, the same classes and the same work. And as for their image, it was the only objection that could separate their other features.

His hair colour had a difference. It wasn't as blonde but rather soft like Takumi's, but instead, it was bleached blonde. His height was a little shrouded compared to Takumi's and his eyes were awfully shaded by the same color of his hair.

" No way you actually did?! I thought you'd never do any of his favors! What happened to you Takumi? Hahaha!" His cousin laughed while he elbowed Takumi's ribs.

" Well this time was an exception. He's sick you know," He sternly remarked, shaking off his cousin's hands.

" Exceptions? Or is it love?"

Takumi groaned, hinting for his cousin to shut up. " Ugh, you know you should get your ears checked."

Confused by his off topic remark, he questioned, " Huh? Why? There's nothing wrong with my hearing."

" WRONG. I said exceptions and nothing else. I never mentioned love... Perhaps you would like to step out of your single world and mingle for awhile instead of teasing me." Takumi grinned, grabbing his cousin's ears as of emphasizing his 'lack of hearing.'

" Ow, get you hands off me will 'ya?" He wailed and pushed off Takumi's annoying hands immediately.

" See what I mean? You're teasing me instead of admitting to yourself that you're a damn loner."

" Speak for yourself Takumi. I wonder why you want to take her as your bride so badly? Oh! And I bet she has the looks too, since you're interested with her." His cousin turned the table around. He got quite used to it when Takumi teased him for being single and so, he saw that coming.

" Dammit Tora! I said I wasn't interested in her-"

Tora chuckled and shot up his hands in defense, " Woah woah woah, no need to scream."

" Well if it weren't for your damn teasing, I wouldn't spaz in the first place." Takumi huffed up a deep breath.

Tora sighed in defeat. He was bored and amusing himself for teasing Takumi wasn't a good idea. " You know what? I give up. I'm bored, TO DEATH. So I can't just please myself while sitting my butt down. It just doesn't work that way."

" So...? What's the plan?"

" Bud, I 'wanna go get some ice cream, if you know what I mean," Tora grinned, already facing his back for his exit.

" Hey wait, I'll come to!" Takumi called out, grabbing his sweater.

" And I thought you were mad at me for a second." Tora shook his head helplessly, confused about his cousin's sudden change of mood.

" When is he coming?" She complained rather silently. Ten minutes and still, there was no sign of him, any minute now, she wasn't going to wait for him any longer. Even if she only had herself rest on a wooden usual park bench, it made her tired after waiting ,as she considered for a million years. " At least he could've tried to text back. Oh what the heck. I'll just leave a message so he'll know I've been wandering off."

On cue, her fingers dialed his number and she began to mumble her complain. " Hey Hinata, it's me. The girl you left in the park for ten minutes now. You know how I hate waiting right? *Sigh* Well, I'll just walk around here I guess 'till you come. Although I'll give you a half an hour warning before I totally head back. Okay, hope to see you soon. Bye."

" Ugh, this is pointless." She stated to herself once she hung up. " What the heck am I supposed to do while I wait for him?"

Just then, a sassy tone interrupted her inner debates. " Oh my God. Did you hear? Maid Latte is selling some free ice cream today. Wanna check it out?"

Her companion responded, " Okay! It's just three blocks away. I think we can handle that."

' *Sigh* So much for hearing his words of wisdom,' She thought as she ran after the girls' path, to the direction where the mentioned restaurant was.

" It's a good idea to suck some fresh air you know,"Tora insisted, his hands on the wheel, while the corner of his eyes noticed Takumi sit silently for the whole ride.

" Where are we going?"Takumi shrugged off, not answering his friend's direct instruction.

" To the place where there are lots of women."

" Don't tell me we're going to the club. You know-"

" No, I never said that. I just said, we'll be heading to the place I love the most."

" And that is?" Takumi raised an eyebrow, suddenly curious at to what Tora was mentioning.

" You'll see."

"Erm, hello," She awkwardly replied back when a woman, dressed in a maid suit greeted her like a respected master.

" Please, take a seat miss, you'll tire your legs if you continue standing," The 'maid' offered, pulling out a chair for Misaki to take. " What would you like to order miss?"

" Uhm nothing for now. I'll order later thank you."

" Very well then. Please call out if you're in any trouble miss, I'm sure the other employees would gladly help you in any way you want."

" Uh yes, thank you," Misaki stuttered at the over exaggeration of the maid's statement.

She bowed once more before she was out of Misaki's sight.

' Strange, I've never heard of this place before...'

" Misaki?" Someone snapped her out of her thoughts. What made it more unusual was that the tone and the emotion of the voice was strangely familiar.

" Hmm...?- Sakura?!" She said, surprised as to seeing her high school friend at a long time of absence.

" What made you come here? I mean, you-I- Yay!" Sakura hugged Misaki instead of finishing her statement. She couldn't possibly finish her statement without weeping or anything.

Asking her about arriving at such weird place made her remember Hinata. She rolled her eyes before answering, " Oh I was just waiting for some friend but unfortunately, he didn't inform me about being late."

" Oh no! D- Does he know that you hate waiting?" Sakura asked worriedly.

" We're talking about Hinata here Sakura," She rolled her eyes, twirling her hair out of boredom.

" Are you guys going out?!" Sakura shouted when Misaki said Hinata's name.

Misaki denied, laughing nervously because her friend's scream set off gazes upon them. " N-no way! I just needed someone to talk to... that's all."

" You know, it's a waste if you don't take your relationship to the next level," Sakura insisted, grinning.

" We never had a relationship in the first place!" The brunette flushed, a little embarrassed about the topic they were currently talking about.

" Oh come on, you mean to tell me you never had feelings for the guy at all?" Sakura nudged her on the side, smiling innocently, even after asking a rather teasing question.

" Nope." Misaki shook her head side to side, popping the 'P' in the process. " Never have and never will."

" That's kinda harsh, time can change anything Misaki,like feelings for example."

Misaki grinned, rubbing the back of her head as she tried to explain the misunderstood statement. " I was just saying... there's nothing wrong with that."

" Hmm suit yourself. I have to go now. My employees wouldn't be proud to see me chit-chatting all day."

" You OWN this place?"

" No I'm just renting it. Well if you're talking about the restaurant, then yes." She cheerfully answered.

Her eyes popped out, " WHAT?! Are you serious?! When-when did this happen?"

" Oh it was nothing really. All of this came from my mom. She bumped into an old man that was carrying tons of history books. They got along after my mom's apology as to inviting him for a cup of coffee, and then coincidentally, as a thanks for the old man. He offered mom to rent this place because for five years in a row, no one dared to rent this because people believed ghosts lived in here. As for me, I don't believe ghosts, so I saved up some money and started a business just a year ago."

She let the words sink in.

" So all these women that are dressed in maid suits are your employees?"

" Yep and believe it or not, they're ALL related to each other. That's why I managed to earn a group with a short amount of time."

" Wow, then I'm so proud of you Sakura. Your hard work paid off after all," Misaki touched her friend's shoulder and patted it gently.

" Thank-"

" I'm so sorry master, p-please forgive me!" A plead caught the females' attentions. It was a particular maid that was seemingly sorry for whatever she did to the customer, and all she could manage to do was to bow and wipe off the mess with her own outfit.

" What's going on here?" Sakura asked sternly once she arrived at the scene, Misaki accompanying her of course.

The disturbed customer wiped his shirt off and started to peel of his polo when the wetness didn't budge, " Well ma'am I guess it was my fault. I didn't seem to look on forward by the path I took-"

" What are you doing here?" Misaki interrupted rudely. There had to be a reason as to why she complained to the costumer's excuse because her cheerful act was immediately replaced by an arrogant tone and disappointed posture.

Not quite getting her remark, he tilted his head to the right and cocked up an eyebrow, " I'm sorry, but do I know you?"

"... No I don't, but I know your friend." She answered without hesitation.

" My frien- Oh you mean him? Enlighten me please," He chuckled, waving his hand off to the worried looking Sakura, meaning he needed some privacy while talking to this interesting lady.

" He's Takumi Walker right?" Misaki asked, crossing her arms as an expectation for a yes.

" Unfortunately yes. Why...? Do you have any special relationship with him or just a friend?"

" Neither."

"Then what-"

" She's Misaki Ayuzawa," Takumi cooly interrupted, attracting a number of girls from the other side of the room.

" No... way," Tora spat, astonished by the true identity of Misaki. " You're legit THE Misaki I've been hearing about?"

" I don't know what this guy told you about me, but I can certainly say that he talked about me a lot," Misaki laughed a little bit, and not for long, Tora joined.

" Yes he did... to be honest. But anyways, I'm sorry for being so rude that I didn't even introduce myself. Well, let's just blame it to the beauty I'm facing right now... My name is Tora Igarashi, this idiot's cousin, first line." Tora implied, as for being the obvious gentlemen he always play role with when meeting new people, especially women, he took Misaki's hand and kissed her knuckles, successfully.

" Uh-" She blushed when his cold moisturized lips made contact with her skin.

" Oh I'm sorry, was that too close?" Tora apologized, putting on a facade of a fake hurt expression.

" Uh no, but other than that I'm going back to my table now," She gritted through her teeth, still managing to control madness by his flirtatious actions.

But before she could even take her third step away from them, Takumi babbled on, " You know... having my cousin involved into a simple situation can change this restaurant."

She turned around, not taking a step front or back though, " So...?"

" I can simply get this cafe removed from it's place because of not receiving a direct apology from the manager."

" Ugh it's just a splash on the shirt, you don't have to be so arrogant about it," She rolled her eyes.

" It doesn't matter though," Takumi pushed in. " Well then, I demand a proper explanation and an apology following that afterwards before I change my mind."

He purposely raised his voice to get Sakura's attention. It didn't took long until she appeared beside the group and opened her mouth to spill an explanation. " Please master-"

" Sakura, no need for that," Misaki stopped her.

" But Misaki?" Sakura began to ask.

" This guy doesn't obviously deserve any of your words," Misaki said, walking to her table not long after.

" Well then, I guess I'll continue to report this to your father," Takumi teased.

Mentioning her father sent chills on her body, obviously scared as to what will happen in the near future when he afterwards listened to Takumi's complaint. She stood up and faced the Walker, eyebrows furrowed and a strong posture she wore on like a protective vest. " Knowing you, I know you'll ask for one condition in repayment of this incident."

" Smart girl... you're definitely right."

" What is it then?" She impatienly yelled, an eyebrow twitching as for annoyance at his previous statements.

His left knee fell to the ground while his right supported his weight. His eyes sparkled as his hands reached for something in his pocket. Clearing his voice, it attracted the whole restaurant. The words he was about to say came as hell to her sight and ears. " Misaki Ayuzawa... will you take my proper proposal and marry me?"

A/N: A little long but shorter than the intro. Thanks for reading along and I'll update soon.
