I shouldn't even apologize now, I should just do the walk of shame for being so damn late with this chapter.

BIG NOTE: Nobody caught my mistake, which I don't know if that's good or bad, but in chapter 2 I said Misaki's friends were located on the THIRD floor. That is NOT true- they are on the FOURTH floor! Again, it's a minor error but I don't want to confuse people.

Originally this was going to be my second to last chapter of the story (I mean, how many chapters could I even write about before I got bored of the same 'earthquake-school surroundings'?) But I didn't have much time to write a lengthy chapter and I knew I would only make it messy and unexplained for my taste, (I usually place way too many details on one thing, please tell me if my writing style is bad!) I think there will be TWO more chapters after this so please don't grow bored of my story, I love every single one of your reviews!

P.S- did not edit story, prepare for terrible words.


Knowing there was absolutely no way in squeezing Hinata through the jagged hole, in fear of putting too much pressure on a sore spot, Misaki had no choice but to lean him up against the wall and use the light from her cell phone to see the outcome of her childhood friend.

"Okay Hinata, what happened? And do you know where Sukura and Shizuko are?" Misaki nearly groaned in frustration when seeing Hinata shake his head a negative, pouting in an overdramatic manner.

"No, but I'm glad my Misaki is alright. I was worried about you, ya know." His happy-go-lucky attitude kicked in and a beaming grin became plastered onto his face.

'Why does everybody say 'my Misaki' I belong to myself, you stupid boys!' The President only gave a small, weak smile before standing upright. Knowing that Hinata was alright, minus the small bump that developed on the back of his head, she turned her attention back to the darkened hallway.

"Are you all alone, Misaki?" The brunettes raspy-like voice filled the silence as the schoolgirl began scrolling through her phones contact list.

"Yeah," she replied absentmindedly, scowling when seeing she had no service. Finally realizing her mistake, she pivoted towards the small aperture and leaned over to get a better look. "Um, I mean no. Usui and some of the guys from Student Council are on the other side, I'm the only one that could fit through here." She turned towards the confused teen, "I thought Shizuko and Sukura might be over here."

Giving an almost careless shrug, Hinata glanced towards the small hole in consideration. "They could be in one of the classrooms, I wasn't looking for anybody else." A smile graced his face when glancing over at Misaki, "except you, of course."

"Focus Hinata! What room were you in when the earthquake hit?"

"I forget…" he mumbled and scratched his head.

"Men." She muttered and ducked to crawl into the small hole.

"Misaki! What about me!?" She heard Hinata's distressed voice from behind, no doubt fretting over the idea of being alone once more.

"Just stay there, I'll be back in a moment!" She responded, knowing her patience was wearing thin with these peoples lack of self reliance. Reaching the other side, she quickly brushed off the dust that accumulated on her knees and stood up, observing her surroundings.

By now, most of the boys were grouped together against one side of the hallway, some speaking in hushed voices while others had their heads buried in their laps. Misaki felt a small ache in her chest, knowing the students were probably still in shock over what happened, not knowing if their friends and family had also survived the terrible destruction.

Noticing both Yukimura and Kanou conversing with each other near a caved-in stairway, Misaki made her way towards them, catching the end of their conversation.

"… We could always open a window and jump out?"

"And fall four stories to our deaths? Go ahead, have fun with that idea." Kanou's monotone voice only diminished the smile on Yukimura.

"Guys did you find anyone yet?" Misaki glanced back and forth when seeing the two shake their heads. "What about an escape route?" Again, their answer was negative.

Blowing a strand of hair out of her face, the schoolgirl placed both hands on her hips and began tapping her foot.

"P-Pres, are you okay?" Yukimura's quivering voice only irritated Misaki more, despising how everyone was now depending on her to get them to safety. Of course she felt bad for them and of course she wanted them to survive this nightmare, but they all needed to start dragging their feet as well or the group would never find an exit.

"Yukimura," she pointed towards the small hole that separated Hinata from the rest, "start trying to widen the hole somewhat. I don't care if you have to throw a desk at it. Bring some strong-looking guys with you." She then glanced over at Kanou's blank face, "I want you and a few other guys to go down the hallway until you reach the restrooms. To the right there's a narrow-looking door that says 'janitors room'. It may be locked but that doesn't matter, the spare key is under the sign that says 'do not enter'. Once you're in the room, there's a door hidden behind a large, gray shelf that leads to a fire escape exit."

Misaki paused to take a breath, letting the two students take in the important information. "The key for that door is under the black welcome mat which you will see when you first walk in to the janitors room. Do you understand?" She continued on when seeing Kanou nod his head. "If the fire exit is clear, then head back here and report to me. If it isn't…" Misaki pursed her lips, "we'll have to find another ulterior motive."

"Now hurry up guys." She snapped out and began walking towards the cluster of boys on the other end of the hallway, "I want to get out of here just as much as the rest of you."

Halting in front of the trembling clump, Misaki flickered her eyes over each boy before pointing at a rather large one. "You," the kid looked up when seeing a finger in his direction. "You, you, you, and you." She called to four more boys. "You're going with Kanou. He'll explain what you're doing."

She glanced over at six other boys, "you guys are staying with Yukimura to try and expand the hole-"

"But that's impossible!" One shouted, a few guys nodding in agreement.

Misaki felt her eye twitch in frustration, "and do you have a better idea!?" When no reply was returned, she crossed her arms with narrowed eyes. "If you want to get out of here alive, you'll do what I say. I don't care if you stay behind, if you want to rot on that very spot then by all means, have fun. But I won't abandon the others that actually want to go home and see their family." She sized each one up for a few silent moments before clicking her tongue and clapping her hands like a gym coach.

"Now go!" She almost smirked in mild satisfaction when seeing the boys scattered to their respective places. Glancing at the remaining group of… less athletic boys, Misaki nodded with her head and ushered them to stand with her hands.

"Enough sitting around," she ignored their groans of protest before continuing, "I want you to come with me back to the Student Council room and-"

"But we've checked there, like, twelve time!" A rather pale-looking boy whined and sagged his shoulders.

"We're not looking for people, okay. We're checking for supplies."

"Why supplies?" A brunette blinked multiple times in confusion. The other boys around him nodded in agreement and shrugged their shoulders.

"If we don't find a way out today, who knows how long we'll be stuck here. We need to find food, water, and enough clothing to keep us warm at night." Misaki tapped her bottom lip in thought, thinking about any other immediate survival needs they had to have at the moment.

"W-We don't have food in there, Pres!" The pale-looking boy piped up in a nervous manner. A male student from behind quickly cut in, "we would never go against your rules and eat in the classroom!"

Holding back a heated glare, Misaki cocked her head in a challenging tone. "Yours is in the filing cabinet." She glanced at one boy before sliding her eyes to her next victim, "yours is sandwiched between your backpack and the desk, yours is in the potted plant." She continued on before halting her little interrogation, seeing each student hang their head in mild shame.

"We need enough food to feed all of us. Not just yourselves." She began walking back towards the Student Council room, hearing rushed footsteps after her and knowing they finally came to their senses.

"W-What if we don't have enough food?" One of the students caught up with her first, fixing his glasses that were somewhat cracked on one side.

Misaki didn't bat her eyes at the question, "then we don't eat."

"All of us!?" Another kid replied in a surprised voice.

"Yup," the maid only continued on when hearing hushed whispers trigger from behind. Finally reaching the classroom they inhabited only hours before, Misaki leaned against the doorframe and tilted her chin upwards. "Now go in there and look around for your classmates snacks." Hazel eyes darkened as Misaki spoke the next sentence, "and I'll know if you try and eat anything without me noticing." She left it at that and watched as they pushed one another to flee inside the room.

"Lazy students, the bunch of them." Misaki sighed heavily and pushed all her weight onto the wall, resting her chin on her chest in for a few relaxing moments.

"Are you done mothering Hinata now?" A cold voice aroused Misaki, blinking over to see Usui staring down at her. The schoolgirl silently questioned just how exhausted she was when realizing she didn't hear his approaching footsteps.

"I wasn't mothering him," she replied rudely, turning her head away to avoid his judgmental eyes. Within a few seconds, Misaki found herself cornered by the school wall and a pissed-off looking Usui. Glancing at his face, which was only inches away from her own, she tried to stare into his eyes but failed when seeing his bangs cover them.

Finally glancing up, he cocked his head to the side, honey-blonde bangs sliding across unemotional eyes. Misaki halted both her thoughts and movements, instead waiting for his next choice of action.

The silent man took a step closer to her until he was pressed up against her, sandwiching Misaki in tightly between the cold wall and his warm body. Feeling her every movement as she breathed in slowly, he casually bent down until both their foreheads were touching.

"You don't understand," he stated calmly and placed his thumb on her bottom lip, his fingers lightly grasping just under her chin. "Just how selfishly possessive I am."

She shuddered at his words, feeling shivers scatter across her spine when feeling his warm breath brush across her lips. Feeling slightly uncomfortable with the extreme closeness, as well as his piercing stare, the young maid tried to push him away. She only managed to place a trembling hand on his chest and push away briefly before he quickly took over, stepping even closer than before and effectively locking her hand between their two bodies.

"Usui." Misaki glance around quickly, hoping someone would interrupt at any given moment. Though a more rational part of her mind told her Usui would only carry on without giving the intruder a second glance.

"I would like to make this clear, Misaki." He cut in before breathing in deeply, getting ready to announce just what was on his mind, "and I will only say this once." Flickering cold eyes towards the stunned schoolgirl, Usui raised his hand and brushed aside a lock of hair that obscured her hazel eyes that he loved so much.

"You belong to me." He stated with such finality, Misaki was sure she heard a growl from the back of his throat. "You do not belong to Hinata, you do not belong to the Student Council class, and you do not belong to Maid Latte. Only me." He leaned in until he brushed his lips across her own, loving her quick intake of breath before she closed the gap.

The two stayed like that for a moment, completely oblivious to their surroundings. Finally did Misaki pull, a bit reluctantly, away and unconsciously licked her lips, only halting when seeing a growing smirk on Usui's face as he glanced down at her.

"You… I…" She glanced at the ceiling quickly before locking eyes.

"Aw look at your face, it's so sweet." He grinned good-naturally, all seriousness from before now forgotten.

"Stop that, Takumi." She tried pushing away from him with her other hand, only for him to grab her wrist. Placing his fingers on her chin once more, he arched her head until they were in direct eye-contact.

"You're really cute when you say my name." He pressed his lips against hers, ignoring her startled squeak, and murmured quietly against her skin. "Say it again."

Misaki shook her head quickly, feeling her cheeks become hot with each passing second.

"Say. It. Again." Usui whispered, now trailing kisses down her neck. Squeezing her eyes shut and knowing who the winner was, Misaki bit her lip tightly before sagging her shoulders in utter defeat.

"Taku-"

"Hey Pres, I think we found all the food…" A voice trailed off as the two teens looked over, one startled while the other only blinked uncaringly.

The boy with the glasses whom Misaki talked to earlier stood there awkwardly, silently contemplating on whether or not to take the 'fight or flight' action.

"I-I'm sorry!" He quickly waved his hands around, "I didn't know y-you two were-"

"Shut up!" Misaki shouted, blushing madly when seeing a small smile on Usui's face. "We um… we… what do you need!?" She stepped away from her perverted freak and placed both hands on her hips, trying in vain to be the Demon President they all feared so much.

'Good gracious someone kill me now.' Misaki mentally whined.

[** ~~ **]

"P-Pres!" Yukimura all but cheered when seeing said woman and the group of guys she brought along making their way towards him. However, his pale skin grew a shade lighter when seeing Usui with both hands buried deep in his pockets.

"U-Usui… hello," still mentally, as well as physically, scarred over the whole 'kissing' moment that happened a while back, Yukimura constantly kept a close eye on his fellow classmate.

"Any luck with the hole yet?" Misaki pushed through the throng of men, glancing down at the relatively large hole that was now clear of any debris as well as misplaced rocks. Turning around she casted a quick smile to Yukimura who, in turn, beamed his own back with glistening eyes, in euphoria for making his President happy.

"Good work guys," she called out to the schoolboys who were stationed around her. "Now I just need to see if Kanou-"

"Good news," the crowd turned towards a monotone voice, knowing instantly who it belonged to. "The staircase is clear, though the only passageway is by going upstairs. The stairway the leads downstairs are completely blocked in." He readjusted his glasses for a moment before continuing, "there was a lock on the door that leads to the roof but we managed to break it off. I left the others up there because I thought it was the safest idea."

"Who knows if the stairs could give out with the constant weight…" Misaki murmured to herself before nodding in consideration. "Good job, Kanou. Now I want everybody-"

"Follow Kanou to where the staircase is and go one at a time to decrease the chances of it collapsing. Once you all reach the roof, stay away from the middle in case it caves in, instead pair up with someone and lean against the side of the building." Usui's voice rang out in the narrow hallway, everyone with eyes and ears listening intently to his instructions.

Misaki looked on, completely engrossed in the way his lips moved with each syllable or how he gestured with his hands when describing an action. She say him unconsciously brush aside a few loose bangs that hindered his vision and flicker his eyes her way almost as if he knew she was practically checking him out.

'Focus Misaki!' She early smacked herself before glancing over at the gaping hole that separated herself from her friends. Wondering briefly if Hinata was still alright, she opened her phone and glanced at the time.

'6:03...it's going to be getting dark soon.;' Misaki bit her lip at the thought, knowing they would have to work around finding people with the small amount of light their phones gave off, as well as the moon.

"… Misaki and I will remain here and try to find more of our classmates, it will be easier this way with less amount of people to look after." Usui's words caught the Presidents attention, glancing over at him with startled eyes before folding her arms across her chest.

"Are you sure?" All heads spun towards her direction, "I mean, with more people looking, we may find more survivors in half the time." She saw a small smile play at Usui's lips, knowing the underlining message of splitting them apart from the group.

Usui cleared his throat and once more, all heads turned towards him, like a tennis match. "But Misaki," his too-sweet tone of voice only grabbed the much needed attention, "do you think it's really fair to have everybody looking for your friends? Do you want to place them in harms way after what they just experienced?" A few boys nodded at that, looking around in agreement as Usui only plastered on a challenging smile.

'She doesn't want to be alone with me,' he silently regarded her heated glare, 'ah my dear Misaki, you are far too cute to share with the other guys.' Of course she wouldn't want to be left alone with him after what just transpired back near the Student Council room, though Usui never showed mercy and decided right then and there that he wanted some alone time with his adorable girlfriend.

Misaki, who was unaware of the devious and slightly perverted thoughts that ran through Usui's mind, quickly shook her head at his words and pointed towards the hole. "But what about your friends?" No reaction. "They need you!" Still no reaction. "You are all pathetic and uncaring men! Have you no shame!?" Misaki nearly groaned in frustration when seeing them still unresponsive.

"I'll go with you, Misaki." A raspy voice from behind the schoolgirl had everybody turn towards the source. There sitting halfway out of the hole was Hinata, who was glancing up at the maid with big, brown eyes.

"Hinata, were you on the other side all by yourself the whole time?" Misaki tilted her head when seeing him nod happily.

"You said stay there and you'd be back shortly," Hinata scratched his head thoughtfully and looked at the ceiling momentarily, "though that was over an hour ago and you never did come back…"

"Hinata, you don't have to take everything I say so seriously." Misaki nearly groaned when seeing him quickly shake his head.

"Of course I do, you're my Misaki and I know that my Misaki is always right!" His childish smile only added a more awkward situation to the maid.

'Always my, my, my' She mentally rolled her eyes.

"You sure sound greedy, labeling someone as an object." Usui, humor no longer evident, walked up beside Misaki and narrowed his eyes at his rival.

"What?!" Misaki nearly shouted and twisted to look at Usui, "do you not remember what you said to me earlier?"

"What happened earlier?" Hinata stood up and brushed the dirt off his pants. He glanced back and forth between and red-faced Misaki and a smirking Usui.

"Well, Misaki was-"

"Okay everybody!" Said woman turned around and glared at the nosey schoolboys, who in turn quickly looked away. "Follow Kanou up towards the roof and stay away from the middle of the roofs floor." She heard them udder an apprehensive 'yes' before hightailing it towards safety.

Ignoring Usui's smug look, Misaki glanced at Hinata while ushering towards the group of retreating boys. "Hinata, we'll be fine, you can leave with them."

Shaking his head with a fierce expression, the brunette stepped closer and grasped both her hands within his, "I can't leave my Misaki alone! I'll come with you in case you get hurt."

"Hinata-" Misaki could only get his name out before she was pushed behind a rather annoyed looking Usui.

"Your whole 'possessive' demeanor is rather starting to piss me off right about now." Usui placed one hand in his jeans pocket and glanced at the offensive man with dull eyes, "Now perhaps it's best if you leave Misaki and I to go look for the others. It would be much safer for you if you go with Yukimura and the rest." Still holding eye contact, Usui slipped an arm around Misaki and moved her towards the entrance of the hole.

"Usui, maybe he can help…" Misaki glanced back and saw Hinata staring at her with longing eyes.

"No."

He nearly shoved her through the crevice before getting down on his hands and knees and started crawling in after her. Stopping for a moment, Misaki looked back and sighed tiredly.

"What if he doesn't know how to get to the janitors room? Maybe I should first walk him there just in case-"

"My, Misaki, pink panties sure do suit your appearance. They look adorable on you, I must say." Usui grinned while lifting the back of her skirt up a small amount. Almost immediately did the subject of Hinata disappear, Misaki too busy hurling herself out of the small tunnel and stumbling from Usui when he stood up grinning.

"You're perverted!" Misaki pointed at him, "you're a sicko and you're constantly acting like a disgusting person all the time."

Usui placed a hand over his heart and pouted, "my Misa's words effect me greatly. Though I must admit, you're really cute when you get angry." He followed his red-faced girlfriend as the two started down the hallway.

"The hallway is really… dark." Misaki stated and slowed her steps until she matched Usui's. Normally he would have created a teasing comment, one that would have her yelling at him for being an alien of some sort. But Usui only smiled and wrapped and arm around her petite waist, enjoying himself even more when she didn't push him away.

"Sweetheart, you have nothing to worry about because I'm here." The green-eyed boy heard Misaki grumble to herself but remained within his embrace all the same.

"I'm not afraid because it's dark, I just can't-"

She never finished however, for a somewhat hard object rammed into Misaki's chest, resulting in the shocked President falling to the ground before Usui could react.

"Misaki?!" Usui bent down and blindly looked around for his girlfriend, cursing the fact that he didn't have his phone with him and Misaki's phone, by the looks of it, turned off when she fell to the ground.

"Dammit, that hurt like hell." The blonde-haired boy looked up when hearing his President's voice, placing his arms on the ground and blindly crawling towards the sound of her voice.

"Misa, where are you?" He spoke anxiously while trying to calm his racing nerves. He didn't like the idea of Misaki being hurt and all alone. Even if he was only inches away from her, he could see a thousand terrible scenarios racing through his head of her tripping over a stray rock and bumping her head or falling down a hole in the ground.

"Right here, now stop screaming!" She gritted her teeth and rubbed the sore spot that ached just below her collarbone. She didn't know what hit her but it felt heavy, like somebody's head.

'My phone!' She looked around quickly, though knew without a doubt it was long gone by now. 'Damn… I just go that too.' She cursed her luck and balled her hands into fists, slamming them onto the ground.

Seconds later she felt contact with something and, without second-guessing herself, knew immediately by the structure and shape that it was her phone.

'Thank anybody that has mercy on me.' She almost whimpered, glad to be out of the dark.

Usui groaned in frustration when realizing Misaki wasn't going to help him find her. Still crawling towards her voice, he sighed in relief when hearing a scrape against the floor directly in front of him.

"Misaki, are you okay?" He reached out, expecting to touch her arm or head, instead meeting air. For an unplanned moment, which will never happen again, Usui's only supporting arm slipped across the floor, resulting in him loosing his balance and falling face first on… something soft?

"Usui?" Misaki flipped opened her cell phone and flinched at the bright light. "Are you okay, Usui?" She sat up straighter and pointed the light towards the darkened hallway.

"Usu-" She paused, blinking multiple times in order to clear her disbelieving eyes. Finally did she narrow her eyes with a heated glare.

Usui was just about to pull away from the soft object when light caught his peripheral vision. Resisting the urge to close his irritated eyes, he looked over to see Misaki… who looked angry as well as hurt. Both physically and emotionally.

'Is she okay?!' He opened his mouth to speak his unsolved question but she beat him to it.

"Usui, you disgusting perverted alien!" She yelled with red-colored cheeks.

He arched an eyebrow and turned around to face… an unconscious Sakura's chest.

'Oh goodie…' he thought sarcastically.
