It's a been a while but this story is back. Marathon continues hopefully two more stories will be updated at least tonight. Thank you for last chapter feedback. Enjoy!

-Chapter 2: Down on his knee-

"You weren't in a relationship so I ignored her but if you're engaged don't cheat Takumi. You were with another woman while with Misaki," Anna continued. "You're not gay but you're a player."

"What the hell?" Takumi mumbled. Surely Misaki will help him out of this?

"I can't believe you cheated on me Takumi," Misaki cried with some fake girly voice then ran off to her room.

All Takum can think is what the hell. Now he has to fix this.

"Listen Grandma I'm not cheating on Misaki and I've never slept with that girl either. She's been stalking me-"

His grandmother glared at him. "You really think I'll believe that Takumi?"

"Well it's the truth so yes," He said truthfully but he knew no sane person would believe him. He's fighting a losing battle. "Fine. I'll make it up to her."

His grandmother smiled. "That's kind of you. Now…." She trailed off with her smile disappearing. "Don't let this happen again or else."

Takumi gulped in fear. Her voice was always scary when she gets like this. The only two people who are able to scare him is his grandmother and Misaki. His grandmother mentally and Misaki physically.

"I shall go for now but I want you over at the mansion tomorrow to discuss some details," She explained taking one final glance around the apartment. "See you tomorrow and this situation better be fixed."

Takumi escorted his grandmother out the door and once she was out of his sight he hurried across to the bedroom to find Misaki. He found Misaki on her bed watching Tv as though she forgot she put him in a difficult situation.

Takumi cleared his throat to catch her attention seeing as Misaki doesn't notice him. "Ahem."

Misaki looked over to her bedroom door. "Oh! She left."

"Oh! She left?" Takumi repeated in a sarcastic way. "Did you realise what you have done?"

Misaki innocently tried to think of all the wrong things she could've possibly done. Nothing came up.

"No sorry I don't know what you mean," Misaki smiled so warmly but Takumi's been friends with her long enough to know she knew what she did.

"Think again clearly," He asked again though gritted teeth.

"Ah!"

Takumi glanced at her suspiciously wondering if she'll finally say the truth.

"Was it that I turned off my phone?" Misaki wanted to laugh so much at her answer and more at Takumi's annoyed face. She can't let him be the only one doing the teasing.

"No. You told my grandmother a lie," Takumi took it upon himself to answer for her.

"When did I lie? Answer me honestly Takumi," Misaki got comfortable on the bed and turned off the tv with the remote. "Do you have a stalker?"

"Misaki what does that ha-"

Misaki cut him off. "Just answer me yes or no."

"Yes," Takumi agreed rolling his eyes. He hated when she does this.

"And she sometimes goes into your apartment?" Misaki continued with amusement in her eyes. You can almost see them twinkling.

"I don't give her a key she gets in on her own an-"

"That's not what I asked. Yes or no Takumi?"

"Yes," Takumi mumbled like a whiny kid.

"Did I know about her?" Misaki questioned knowing she'll win this argument. She's a lawyer after all.

"No."

Misaki smiled. "Then I didn't lie to your grandmother."

"We weren't even engaged at that time," Takumi still tried to argue against her. She needed to help him with his grandmother situation.

"We weren't dating yesterday but yet we're engaged today. And right now you're here with me but some chick could be at your place," Misaki made a face like she could cry. This was fun.

Takumi sighed and laid on the bed next to her. "I give up."

He'll have to find another way to convince his grandmother things between him and Misaki are ok. Misaki didn't seem like she'll help him so he's on his own. Takumi will definitely get back at Misaki for this. One way or another he'll repay her. Takumi smirked coming up with a really great idea. One he could please his grandmother and get back Misaki at the same time.

Misaki looked to her right at Takumi and saw a huge devious smirk on his face. What is he up to?

"What are you smirking about?" Misaki asked slightly scared. He went from annoyed to looking evil. She hates when he does that.

"Nothing. Just thinking how tomorrow will be a great day."

He patted her back and got up to go to her guest room to sleep. Misaki made a mental note she has to sleep with one eye open tonight and tomorrow she needs to keep an eye on his every movement.

-Walker Mansion-

The next day came and Takumi decided he'd head over to his grandmother to to start his plan to make her happy and have revenge on Misaki. He can't wait to see her reaction. It will be priceless. Just thinking about it made him want it to be night already.

He entered the dining room knowing his family would be having breakfast in there and he's right. Richard his grandfather and his grandmother Anna are in the dining room enjoying some tea.

"Takumi dear," Anna greeted him when she noticed his arrival.

"Hello grandmother," Takumi said taking a seat in between the two of them.

"Congratulations on your engagement," Richard stated then went back to what he was previously doing. He's not one to show a lot of emotion to anyone. His personality is kind of cold. He said it's for his enemies to continue to fear him.

"Assuming you're here I'm guessing you made up with Misaki?" Anna threatened. Her gaze deadly as her tone.

"Yes but….."

"But?" Anna pressed on. Nothing should ruin this engagement for Takumi. He denied every other potential bride but she will make sure he marries Misaki.

"I want to do something special for her."

"Like what?"

"She won't be expecting it since it will be so sudden but I want to give her an engagement party tonight," Takumi explained the first step of his revenge plan.

"That's a lovely idea Takumi. The perfect present and surprise," Anna beamed in agreement. It's the Walker family of course they came have that party ready by tonight. A maid walked up to Anna causing her to block out the convo.

"So Takumi what ring did you buy her?" Richard finally spoke again. Anna resumed back into the conversation but she didn't hear what Richard asked.

Takumi thought of a excuse quick. Misaki's 'ring' won't be ready till later. "I told her it was too big and it wouldn't fit so-"

"Takumi I don't need to hear what goes on behind closed doors," His grandmother told him.

"What? I didn't measure it correctly so it didn't fit rig-"

"Takumi!" His grandmother yelled. "It's nice to know you're in the process of making children but we don't need to hear about the process.

As smart as Takumi is he felt so dumb and confused in this moment. What is she saying about kids?

"Grandmother all I did was take it and put it-"

"Takumi!" She growled.

"-on her finger and it didn't fit," Takumi whispered still not understanding what she's getting at. By now even Richard is looking at her trying to figure out what she's thinking. Kids? Could she be thinking that?

"Wait no! I'm not talking about sex," He quickly denied.

Anna eyed him searching for a lie.

"He asked about her ring and I said it was too big so I had to get it fitted better," Takumi explained quickly.

"Oh!" Anna brushed it off as it was no problem. "Well tell Misaki to invite her parents over here tonight for dinner but don't tell her the occasion. I'll handle everything. Too bad Gerald and his wife will miss the party."

Takumi smiled not because of what she said but of his little plan working.

-Misaki's parents home-

Misaki dreaded visiting her parents home but she had to tell them about her engagement to Takumi so they'll keep out of her life and not force her or Suzuna to try and marry some random rich guy. She entered their home and rested her coat and bag on a countertop.

"Mom? Dad?" She yelled throughout the house.

"In the library," Her mother answered.

Misaki followed her mother's voice upstairs to the library. When she entered they are both reading and chatting with each other. Here goes nothing.

"Misaki I'm glad you came. Someone asked to meet with you fo-"

"I'm not meeting any guys to get engage," Misaki stopped her mother from going any further.

Minako's smile turned into a frown. "Did I not hear you clearly Misaki? What did you just say?"

"I'm not meeting with anyone because I-"

"Now listen here Misaki we went through this," Her father Sakuya joined in. "You'll do as we say you hear me? You owe us that much. I won't allow you to disobey us…"

Misaki can't take much of their talking. "Takumi and I are getting married."

"What?" Her parents said it unison at her outburst.

"Takumi Walker and I are getting married," Misaki repeated calmly this time.

Her mother smiled the best smile Misaki has ever seen. They just hit the jackpot with this engagement.

"Well done Misaki! Well done," Sakuya congratulated her. It's the first time in a long time they did that. It would hurt her if she wasn't used to it.

Misaki's phone buzzed. She reached and saw a text from takumi.

I told my grandparents. They want to have dinner with your family tonight at 8pm.

She texted him back.

Okay.

"We have dinner tonight at the Walker mansion at 8pm so don't be late," Misaki told her parents. She stood up wanting to leave but her mother grabbed her hand just wanting to say one final thing.

"Don't mess up this engagement," Minako warned then let go of Misaki.

Misaki nodded and rushed out the house. Never once did they ask if she was happy. Can she have her old parents back? They were never like this. Money changed them.

- Engagement party-

Night time came quickly and Misaki made a decision to go over to the mansion alone without her parents. They went on their own. She just can't handle them in her ear. Her sister Suzuna is away fortunately as she won't have to deal with their parents. Misaki parks her car and walked into the mansion. Why didn't Takumi pick her up? Wouldn't that show how much of a gentleman he is?

A maid escorted her right away. Misaki is lost in her thoughts so when the large crowd yelled surprise she jumped in shock.

"W-What is happening?" She stuttered walking up to the crowd. Misaki saw Takumi in the midst of everyone grinning. He planned this didn't he? She'll beat the crap out of him later.

"It's your engagement party sweetheart," Takumi said walking over and taking her hand.

Sweetheart? Woah woah where did that come from? Misaki guessed the acting started now.

She smiled up to Takumi because of their height difference. "Did you plan this?"

Takumi nodded.

"Thank you," Misaki said squeezing his hand tightly. A little too tight.

"Let's get the party started but there's one question everyone wants to know Misaki and Takumi," Anna started motioning towards everyone but them. "How did you two start dating and better yet engaged?"

Misaki was lost for words. She didn't think about that but apparently Takumi did as he started talking. It's revenge time.

"Well you see Misaki is the one that asked to date first."

Misaki looked over at him in shock. What the hell?

Takumi glanced at her showing his pearly whites then turned back to the crowd. Misaki can tell he's getting revenge on her.

"I was over at her apartment one day and she was really unusual that day. She wouldn't look me in the eye-"

"-You didn't look too good that day," Misaki butted in.

"Shush honey. Truth is I liked her too but I wasn't sure about her. Suddenly I'm sitting there then the next minute she's kissing me," Takumi carried on while Misaki's mouth hung open. "I was in shock she just pounced on me. But after she told me her feelings I told her mine and we started dating in secret. As for our engag-"

"I'll tell them darling," Misaki stated. She can't let him make him be the only one making up stories. "We got engaged yesterday when Takumi was over at my place. We would meet up like usual but this time it was different. He barged in and yelled 'Misaki I can't live without you and I feel like I might die without you by my side'"

Takumi's lip twitched. That was so cheesy. He would never do it like that.

"I said what's wrong and he started to shake and held me saying 'Marry me'. I told the idio-I mean Takumi yes and when he pulled out the ring to place on my finger it didn't even fit," Misaki laughed along with everyone. "And that is how it all happened."

"Well Misaki you see I actually wanted to let you know I have your new ring here to put on in front of everyone," Takumi said getting down on one knee.

Misaki mouthed stop that's embarrassing.

Takumi replied pay back.

The crowd gave aww's here and there as Misaki and Takumi secretly fought with each other. When the ring was placed on great Takumi stood up and claimed her hand again giving it a light kiss.

"The perfect gift," Misaki said.

"Not so fast Misaki I have an even better gift," Anna squealed. She's just like his deceased mother and Sakura, Misaki's friend, combined.

"Huh?" Misaki and Takumi said.

"I bought you a house for you two to live in tomorrow. Isn't that great?" Anan explained and everyone cheered.

Misaki and Takumi stared at each other. Just great they both thought.
