Chapter 2: Truth And Resolve

Usui POV

"Don't get the wrong idea. This isn't a date..." She hissed "I just think we need to clarify what happened last night and other things..."

My brows furrowed and I nodded. I took her hand and began to lead her through the ocean of people.

Normal POV

Takumi and Misaki walked into a small family-owned restaurant. Inside there were only one or two other customers besides the couple. Takumi and Misaki took a table in the corner and ordered their food. Once the food was ordered, there was an eerie silence between the two. A minute passed before Misaki opened her mouth. "About what happened last night..."

"Do you regret it?" blurted out Takumi, interrupting Misaki's question.

"What!?"

"I asked, Do you regret it?" repeated Takumi.

"..."

Silence filled the air until a small squeak came out of Misaki. Takumi didn't even hear it. Even with his ultra-sensitive ears and the fact, Misaki was less than a meter away, Takumi couldn't hear her.

"Could you repeat that?" asked Takumi.

"No, no I don't regret it. I just feel a little confused... I mean, I still love you... I'm just..." rambled Misaki.

Inside, Takumi was relieved to hear the words come out of Misaki's mouth. He held Misaki's hand in his hands. "I love you too..." said Takumi as he looked into Misaki's eyes. "No matter what happens between us, I will always love you. And if you need time, I will give it to you."

Takumi leaned in and gave Misaki a passionate kiss on the lips. Misaki was a little shocked but eventually began to kiss back. The kiss let Misaki and Takumi convey the love they couldn't express in words. At that moment, Misaki felt so secure, so warm, so loved. Her confusion slowly faded away and knew what she wanted to do... Soon, the two of them separated for air.

"I don't need time, because I know how you feel about me and how I feel about you" smiled Misaki.

"So we made up? Are we out of our awkward post... Ow" asked Takumi before he was kicked in the leg under the table.

"Yes, we are and don't talk about IT in public. Also, don't tell anyone and mean anyone in school about IT" hissed Misaki but Takumi just gave her the puppy dog eyes.

Misaki just sighed and facepalmed. "I guess you can tell them we are dating... I mean I did say I wanted to be open with our relationship that night..." said Misaki who's face was turning red at the thought of last night.

Takumi just smiled and Misaki looked like she was about to burst from embarrassment. After the couple finished their food, they decided to walk around and spend some time together.

"Come on hurry up Usui, all of the popular tourist spots will be crowded soon" yelled Misaki as she turned around to face Takumi, who was a few meters behind her.

"Don't worry Misa-chan, I can catch up whenever I want. You can just go on ahead if you want" teased Takumi.

A vein popped on Misaki forehead. "Is that a challenge?" asked a frustrated Misaki crossing her arms.

"Hmm... challenges are fun but... bets are better. How about you go to Kiyomizu-Dera first, and if I catch you before you reach Kiyomizu-Dera I win. As for the stakes... the loser has to do one request for the winner" said Takumi thoughtfully.

"One request..." Misaki began to think about last night again. The memories just wouldn't leave her alone as her face turned red and mouth drop.

As if Takumi could read her mind, he walked towards her and placed his hand on her cheek. "Don't worry I won't do anything perverted unless... you want me to" whispered Takumi.

Misaki quickly slapped away his hand and stepped backward. "Fine challenge accepted. It's not like I'm going to lose" said Misaki as she ran off at superhuman speeds.

Misaki POV

"Damn, that perverted alien is so arrogant. After I win, I will make sure he doesn't do any of those stupid perverted things again" I huffed as I made my way to Kiyomizu-Dera.

I couldn't see it, but I knew people were staring. As I rampaged across Kyoto making my way to Kiyomizu-Dera on foot, I passed by a few male Sekai students. It didn't even take a second for them to move out of my way. Unfortunately, one poor soul was frozen in terror from the sight of me. It was one of the students I previously found reading inappropriate books in school. I also might have given him a slightly harsh punishment and a long lecture.

"PLEASE MO..." I said but tripped and started barrelling towards the poor student.

I closed my eyes preparing for an impact. However, the impact never came. Instead, I felt something warm around my body. I slowly opened my eyes and found arms around my waist. I looked up to see who it was and to my surprise it was Usui. I was too shocked to even say anything, instead, I looked behind him to see a passed out Sekai student. Looked back at Usui and we locked eyes. "Looks like I win Ayuzawa," said Usui with a smirked.

Soon I realized what position I was in with Usui. I pulled away and quickly hid my face. My face felt hot and I couldn't show weakness in front of Sekai students (except for Usui). "What are you doing here," I asked in the most confident voice I could muster.

Usui caressed my cheek and stepped closer. "Winning a bet..." he replied.

I was confused as to what he meant until it hit me. If Usui is here, hugging me here, and the fact I'm not at Kiyomizu-Dera means I lost the bet. I sighed and prepared for the worst. "What do you want," I asked quickly.

"Hmm... I want you to hold my hand for the rest of the way to Kiyomizu-Dera. And you can't let go, just like at Yumesaki High's cultural festival" Usui whispered into my ear so nobody could hear.

Although I was still uncomfortable with Usui's stunts in public, I guess he could have asked for something way worse. I blushed and quickly took his hand in mines. I then looked towards the remaining Sekai. "Take this poor guy to the teachers, they have medication for this sort of thing," I said spouting my demon aura.

The boys unable to process what I said because of the shocking events, just nodded their head. I sighed as Takumi and I left the hand in hand for Kiyomizu-Dera.

Normal POV

As Misaki and Takumi lined up to get into Kiyomizu-Dera, all Misaki could feel were stares. It didn't take long for rumors of the demon prez dating beautiful playboy to leak out. As the stares intensified, Misaki clenched Takumi's hand harder. Takumi looked at Misaki with worried eyes. "You can let go now if you feel that uncomfortable. We already reached Kiyomizu-Dera..." said Takumi in a soft and soothing voice.

"Do you think everyone knows we are going out by now?" Misaki asked.

"Well... yes if we keep holding hands. Are you okay with everyone knowing? If not, I won't push you out of your comfort zone. We can let go of our hands and explain it was a..." comforted Takumi.

Inside, Takumi was ready to be open with their relationship. Misaki on the other hand, although she kept saying she wanted to be open about their relationship, her words weren't matching her actions. Takumi knew she was still uncomfortable and didn't want to push her places she didn't want to be.

In response to Takumi's words, Misaki strengthened her grip. "But what if I don't want to let go..." said Misaki as she looked Takumi in the eyes face red. "I know I'm not the most romantic person, and every fiber in my body is telling me to hide our relationship... But hiding it is even worse. The time spent with you, I don't want to waste them anymore..."

Takumi smiled in response. "...Yes, me too" said Takumi as they entered Kiyomizu-Dera hand in hand.

As the couple walked around the temple, Misaki once again picked up the jealous gazes of many Sekai students. "Takumi... mind if we go to a more private spot. The stares are annoying" suggested Misaki.

Usui chuckled. "Anything for you" he responded.

As the couple moved around to the back, the number of eyes on them decreased. Misaki finally eased up, and let out a sigh. "Damn, your fangirls sure are persistent... Wow, look at this view" exclaimed Misaki.

"I wish can have moments like this every day, just the two of us," said Takumi as they took in the breathtaking view.

Takumi didn't know it but what he said just made Misaki heartache. "But... will you have that sort of time? I mean, after you transfer. Miyabigaoka is a school for the elite. Besides... If you move, I know you would prioritize me over school work... So I'm saying this now, I don't want you to slack because of me." murmured Misaki.

"I'm not moving, so we can meet at maid latte, Sekai, or anywhere else. Besides I have the best grades in Sekai. I think I can balance school work and my girlfriend" teased Takumi, the last two sentences were obviously jabs at Misaki's academic pride.

Misaki was about to stomp on his shoe, but then he took in a deep breath. "Misaki... I'm not actually transferring for academic purposes..." stated Takumi

"!?" Takumi used her first name? Takumi never uses her first name unless the topic was serious. At that moment she knew the transfer was just a small piece of the puzzle.

"If I transfer to Miyabigaoka... I can finally build up the connections needed to face my family properly. What I have been doing up till now hasn't been working anymore. In fact, if I don't change, things could get worst. Not only for me but for you as well. I don't want to drag you into my family problems." explained Takumi.

Misaki really wanted to give Takumi a good beating, somehow she knew Takumi would give a reason like this. She was angry Takumi didn't say anything earlier, she wanted to help him. Misaki wanted him to know she wanted to protect their relationship together. She wanted to confront their problems side by side, but she knew Takumi wouldn't let her. She has experienced the power of the Walker family first hand, and she trusts Takumi to make the correct decisions. "I thought you would say that... Just don't do anything stupid" sighed Misaki knowing she wouldn't win an argument against Takumi on the subject.

Takumi pulled her close and hugged her. "Thank you for understanding Ayuzawa," smiled Takumi.

Misaki smiled back and said the only thing that came to mind. "Baka Usui"

"...So this is the Otawa waterfall, if I am not mistaken, the water gives blessings to the drinker. Three channel respectively, health, beauty, and careers. But for sightseeing, it is health, studies, and marriage" said Misaki.

"Ohh really... Which one would Ayuzawa choose?" asked Takumi.

Misaki thought about the question, she didn't need studies. Although she wasn't the best in academics, being beaten by Takumi, Misaki wouldn't waste a blessing on such a trivial matter. She also believed hard work and determination would bring all the results she needed. As for marriage, she didn't need that either. She already found the love of her life, and fully intended to protect their relationship with her own two hands. "...Hmm... If I had to choose, it would be the health blessing. No matter how careful you are, there is a chance that you might get sick. As for the other two, I intend on forging a path for those with my own two hands" said Misaki.

"That is very you Ayuzawa..." responded Takumi.

"Is that a compliment? Ahh! It's getting late we need to get back to the hotel. We are leaving tomorrow, so we need to pack our things" exclaimed Misaki dragging Takumi by the arm.

Unnoticed by the couple, almost all the Sekai students watched them behind the bushes. "No way... is prez actually dating Usui," asked one of the students mystified.

"No! I refuse to believe it. Why would Usui-san choose her over me? Life isn't fair..." cried another student.

"But look their holding hands... You know what that signifies right..." a third student responded.

"Hey what are you guys doing?" asked a mysterious person.

When the group of students turned around they were confronted by Sakura, Shizuko, Hinata, and Kuuga. "The prez and Usui were holding hands, what in the world is going on?" said the students in unison.

The reaction from the friends of the couple ranged from nervous to a poker face. Nobody said a word until Hinata broke the ice. "Yes... What you saw wasn't a mistake... The two of them are going out. As in boyfriend and girlfriend..." said Hinata painfully.

"Hinata-san! Misaki told us to keep it a secret" hissed Sakura

"Whoops..." said Hinata in a more cheerful voice, realizing his mistake.

"No way..." said the rest of the students. As murmurs erupted through the crowd a voice was heard. "In any case, we need to confirm this. We shall make our move in the cafeteria tonight." said a male student. The rest of the students agreed to this statement and rushed back to the hotel. Soon the only four students remaining at the scene were Sakura, Shizuko, Hinata, and Kuuga. "Oh no... What have we done... Misaki is going to kill us" sighed Shizuko.

"Sakura, can I come with? I'm interested in how the two lovebirds handle this situation" asked Kuuga.

"O-of course! But... what about your hotel?" said Sakura blushing.

Kuuga winked at her. "Don't worry, I have some pull in my school, so don't worry. I guess we should hurry up or we might miss the event entirely" responded Kuuga as he began to follow the wave of students.

Usui POV

After packing, I decided to peek into Misaki's room. As expected, compared to me she was still stuffing clothes and souvenirs into her tattered suitcase. While she was rummaging through a dresser, I decided to tease her a bit.

"Ohh, I didn't know Misa-chan had such a simplistic taste in under..." I started but stopped when a book came flying my way.

"Hey! Don't look at my s-stuff, you p-perverted alien!" screeched Misaki.

I shrugged and looked at the book thrown at me. Yikes, it was the guidebook. I'm lucky I caught it, I could have easily suffered a concussion. "Prez... don't throw the school trip guidebook, it has so many pages it weighs more than a metal paperweight," I grimaced.

"Well... it's totally your fault for being such a perverted alien" Misaki shot back.

"Yes Prez, anyways... are you finished packing I'm sure most of the students are in the cafeteria by now," I said motioning to the clock.

"Ahh! My dinner special! Usui lets go, packing can wait..." exclaimed Misaki dragging my arm once more to the cafeteria.

On the way down, Misaki let go of my arm. When we reached the cafeteria, I reached for Misaki's hand. She didn't reject my action, and I could see a slight blush. As we walked into the cafeteria, silence swept across the room. It was almost creepy how quiet it was. I kept my poker face while Misaki looked unfazed by the silence. After Misaki and I grabbed our dinner, we sat down a few empty chairs. When we did the students in our immediate vicinity backed away like we had some sort of infectious diseases. At this point, I already suspected the cause of the disturbing silence. "Ayuzawa, open your mouth," I whispered into her ear.

"Why?" questioned Misaki and before she could close her mouth, I stuck a half-eaten meatball in her mouth.

This made Misaki blush and the whole room gasp. Once the students regained some composure, they looked at each other eyes wide. Then somebody broke the silence. "Usui-san is it true you are dating prez" someone screamed from the back.

I decided it was about time to formally announce Misaki as my girlfriend. I stood up and took a glance at Misaki who was still blushing. "It is true, I am dating Ayuzawa," I said in confidence.

The room once again blew up with gasps and murmurs. "Usui-san stop pulling our leg,"

"Yeah, no way you and the prez are together," said a student.

"We want proof of this relationship" another student yelled.

I smirked and swept Misaki off the ground. "U-usui what are you..." before Misaki could finish, I gave her a peck on the lips. Misaki was too shocked to do anything. When we separated, half of the students, primarily girls, had passed out on the floor.

"Perhaps we gave them too much of a shock Misa-chan" I said looking her in the eyes.

When Misaki came to her senses, she started flailing around in my arms. "Baka Usui! What was that for?" asked Misaki.

"Announcing to the school that you belong to me" I said putting her down.

"Couldn't you have done it in a more proper way... and nobody is yours..." Misaki grumbled.

"Sorry, do you want to do it properly this time then" I said in a seductive voice.

Misaki blushed at this statement and nodded. I smiled and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. We didn't stop until we ran out of oxygen. We didn't care who was watching, we didn't care if half the students were passed out, I didn't want to waste the time we had together anymore and I knew Misaki didn't either.

(A/N: I wasn't lying when I said the next chapter would come out next week. Anyways, I know the grammar sucked and the ending was kinda rushed. However, this chapter was already getting close to 3,000 words and I wanted to wrap up the Kyoto stuff so we can get to the juicy bits. I don't know when the next chapter is coming out but I hope you enjoyed the chapter.)
