Seika High School - 7.30 AM

"…Is that guy late today as well?" Misaki thought as she passed Usui's classroom. She noticed that guy was not there.

"He will not leave, right…?" She mumbled sadly to herself.

Usui's Apartment – 7.30 AM

"I'm sorry, to have to stop by in the morning, even though you have school. But I have to return to UK this evening. I'm sorry for troubling you." Gerrard said as he looking out through the window.

The view of Tokyo city that crowded by tall buildings. Many cars passing along the street. And the view of people.

"I came all the way here to meet you directly, yet I didn't have the chance to have a proper conversation with you." He said again, looking at Usui.

"Can't help it… You are busy with many things after all."

"Yeah… you are right. I'm so busy with many things. You remember this? When I was 10 and you are 6, we always playing together. We were playing baseball, eat the cheesecake together and laugh together. Now is the opposite… We are busy, never play baseball again, and never eat cheesecake together. I missed them… You know, if I remember about you, I will smile and laugh to myself. Why did our dad become like this? Suddenly, makes me busy with this damn things.." Gerrard chuckled. Usui smiled.

"So what do you wanna to talk about?"

"Well…. You said, 'The reason that you want to stay here' is 'It is comfortable to live here' …right?" Gerrard turned to face Usui.

"I thought that you would at least have some friends whom you would find difficult to part with." He paused. "..A friend… That, in other words, is perhaps what you call friendship."

"Although I have a friend who I find difficult to part with, I have maintained some distance in order to avoid trouble."

"…And that's that girl yesterday?"

"…"

"Hey! C'mon… admit it… you like her, don't you?"

"…" Usui still silence.

"Our little Takumi is falling in love now… I can't believe, our little Takumi have grown up so fast…" Gerrard said with sparkling eyes. "I can't believe that!" He wiped his tears with tissue.

"Brother…" Hearing Usui's serious voice, Gerrard turned to silence and looked at Usui seriously.

"… What if I say I like her…" He paused, "it's hard to say with words…" He looked towards the ceiling, "There are so many feelings inside… But if it's just 'like'… I don't know what to say…" Usui explained.

"When I'm around her… following her everywhere she go maybe she liked to call me 'stalker'. I am enjoying that even though… she yells at me, punches me, or avoids me, calls me 'perverted alien' or 'idiot' etc… I secretly like being around her…I feel more like at home…"

He smiled sadly, "When I found out that she is a maid in a café, I'm not surprised. Even I promised to myself that I will keep this secret only for me. And then she told me about her family… I found out that she hates male… It makes me so amazed…All I wanna do is make her smile and break her judges about male…" He sighed.

"And time goes by… There's many things happened between me and her… Without my permission that 'feeling' grows. I think I…-"

Usui can't finish his sentence because Ceddy opened the door. It makes the both of them jumped in surprise from their serious conversation.

SLAM!

"I'm sorry, Gerrard-sama, Usui-sama for interrupting your conversation." Ceddy bowed.

"No, it's okay. What is it?" Gerrard asked.

"Gerrard-sama, you need to go to UK now!"

"Why? Something happened?"

"Yes, Gerrard-sama. Your grandfather wants you to back to UK immediately." Ceddy explained.

"Something happen?"

"I don't know, Gerrard-sama."

"Alright, now Ceddy can you please leave us alone, just 5 minutes… I wanna talk to him." Gerrard asked to Ceddy.

"Alright, Gerrard-sama. I will wait at the lobby." Ceddy bowed and leave the room.

After Ceddy leave, Gerrard continued his conversation with Usui.

"You ought to realize your own position, Takumi and in the fact that you cannot cut your ties with us… but remember this even though you are "Usui" Takumi, you are blood-tied with us, the Walker family."

"My advice for you is please be careful and if you can… please you must have maintained some distance with her in order to avoid trouble that might happen between you two. But if something happen I will try my best to help you…"

"Thanks brother." Usui patted Gerrard's back.

"Bye, Takumi. Hope something bad will not happen."

"I hope so."

Seika High School – 12.00 Lunch break

Misaki was doing her paperwork in student council room. She was so worried about Usui because he didn't come to school. She knows something is happened with him. It starts when Igarashi's party, she found out that her world and his world is different. After that Usui's brother come, Misaki thought that something bad will happen. But she kept positive thinking. She believes in Usui.

"isaki…" A voice called Misaki. Misaki still spaced out.

"Misaki~" That voice still calling her.

"Misaki!" She flinched and turned around to see Sakura and Shizuko besides her.

"Uhh? What is it, Sakura?" Misaki asked.

"Ano, Misaki… you were spaced out so I called you… You looked like thinking something deep about something. Are you having a problem?" Shizuko asked.

"Oh. I'm not. Its okay, Sakura, Shizuko. I'm fine…" Misaki smiled.

"If you are having trouble, you can talk with us, Misaki, right Shizuko?"

"Right, Sakura. Misaki don't push yourself too much if you are having a trouble. You can talk with us."

"Thank you, Sakura, Shizuko. I'm okay… really."

"Then we will go now, Misaki. Bye" Sakura waved.

"Bye, Sakura, Shizuko."

After Sakura and Shizuko left, Misaki decided to patrols around the school. Everything is okay… until she found Usui in boy's locker.

"..U..sui" She called him.

"Ayuzawa…" He called back.

"What are you doing here? There's only one period left… why are you late? Where have you been?" She shouted at Usui because she's worried but to hide the truth, she shouted. She took one large gulp of air as she finished asking everything in one sentence.

"…" He avoided her stare.

"Usui…? Anything happened?" She walked closer to him.

"Nothing at all…" Finally he spoke. "Ayuzawa… I want to talk to you after school at rooftop.. can you?" He turned to face her. He wore a sad expression and pleading eyes on his handsome face.

Ring ring… Lunch break is over.

"A..alright… se- see you… Usui.."

Somewhere in Japan

"Have you found out where my family is?"

"Yes, sir. Do you want to go there?"

"Not yet. But I want to see my daughter first. Prepare simple clothes for me and something that disguise my face. I don't want they become surprised and hate me. I've made a lot of mistakes for them."

"Yes, sir."

After the assistant left, the man said something.

"Minako, Suzuna, Misaki… I miss you so much… I hope you will accept me back.." The man looked at the picture in a frame that he, Minaki, Suzuna, and Misaki smiling.
