"I thought girls take too much time packing. Done already?" Usui asked.

"I'm wearing hospital outfit since i came. There's nothing much to pack, idiot."

"Makes sense. There would be much if you allowed me to go shopping for you"

"You already took my cloth to laundry. That's enough. Why did you tell me to pack? They're not letting me off without a family member's agreement"

Usui:"Because we are leaving. By the way, in school, all students in class are asking about you. And they're asking ME. Not anyone else. They can feel the connection between me and you"

Misaki ignored the last part of his words and said:"About that, i must go back to school. I can't let my marks fall back"

"But i'd like you to stay away from school longer. This way only me can see you"

Misaki blushed saying:"I'm not falling for your words so stop trying"

Usui:"Then why are you all red?"

"I'm not!"

"Ah, i see. You have a sudden fever. Anyhow..." His voice got more serious as he completed: "Does your father punish you if your marks fell back?"

"Eh? Ano... Why'd you think so?"

"Because you seem over worried with each exam results"

'Can he really see through me? I always smile and try to hide my worry' Misaki thought

Usui:"Does he?"

Misaki looked away :"Y..yes"

Usui clearly angered: "You're not going back to him"

Misaki looked back at him:"But, how?"

Usui:"You'll be living with me"

"Eh?! Not in a million years!"

"Just as you heard, and i really want to tell the police about him. He almost killed you!"

"Don't do that"

"Why? Are you afraid he'll come after you?"

"That's not it. Maybe he's not my biological father. I mean, he's my step-father, but he used to give me a good night kiss when i was younger. He's doing this 'cause i'm a bad girl. It's my fault"

'No way. Is she really thinking that way?' Usui thought then said:"Okay. I won't tell the police, but listen, you are the most wonderful girl i've ever met. It's not your fault. No one in the world deserves to be treated like that. I don't even know how you can blame it on yourself!"

Misaki stayed silent for a bit then said:"Th..thank you"

"I'll get a wheel chair"

"Why? I can walk"

"But you can't run yet. It'll be tiring for you injured lung"

"Run? Why?"

"We'll get out of here"

Before Misaki could response, he was already out of the room. In less than 3 minutes, He got back with the wheels chair and asked her to sit.

Misaki:"What'll you do?"

He placed his finger on her lips shushing her up and said:"Shh, questions come later. Now sit"

She could swear he gave her a small wink, which made her a bit uncomfortable, but she eventually sat. He pushed the chair slowly out of the room hoping nobody will notice him. For his bad luck, her doctor walked into that hallway.

"Where are you taking her?" The doctor asked

Usui:"She just wanted to get some fresh air"

A nurse came out of Misaki's room yelling to the doctor:"Her stuff disappeared! Stop them. They're running away!"

Usui hissed:"Crap!" And he pushed the chair stronger quickening his steps.

The doctor running after him:"Stop him! Anyone! stop him!"

Misaki's eyes widened when she saw a huge man standing on their way to get into an elevator and spreading his arms in 'I'm not letting you through' mode.

But she was more surprised by the voice that came from behind her.

"I'm not stopping!" Usui yelled to the man. Misaki was now sure usui lost his mind. She closed her eyes in horror of the next to come collision then they stopped

Misaki opened her eyes:"We didn't.. we're in the elevator?"

Usui:"Yeah, he believed we're not stopping and stepped aside"

"I see, and what if he didn't?"

"I don't know. We'd probably be crashed into pieces"

Misaki stayed silent trying to contain what just happened . They reached the ground floor and took a taxi.

In the taxi..

Usui:"You're okay?"

"I can't believe you did that! You could've killed us!" She yelled

"Wow, strong lungs. You shout loudly. I should've let you run"

Then she suddenly started to laugh at the whole thing.

Usui:"What's so funny?"

"You're crazy. Anyhow, where are we going?"

"My house. Remember?"

"Eh?! I already said not in a billion years!"

"As i said, strong lungs. Mercy on my ears! You said million years not billion, but do you really have any choice?"

Misaki looked at her lap feeling defeated:"I hate to admit it, but you're right"

Usui:"This way we can stay in the same room. All alone. No nurses. No doctors to interrupt us"

"No way! Pervert alien!"

"We'll see about that"

"We'll not see about anything!"

"You're cute"

Misaki:"Where did that come from now?"

"From the way you blush"

"Enough already! Enough teasing me!"

"If you really don't like me, you won't be teased by me"

"I don't like you! *sigh* I'll shut up"

"But then, i'll miss hearing your voice"

"Stop it"

"It's better to hear you say 'stop it' than nothing at all"

Few moments of silent controlled the atmosphere. He had a complex of feelings. Happy 'cause she was next to him. So irritated at the state she's living, and so angry at her father.

He pulled her close, resting her head on his shoulder. She didn't resist, which made him glad.

He whispered:"Don't worry about a thing. You're safe"

She just closed her eyes and wrapped her arm around his waist, allowing herself to sink deeper into his warmth. He just smiled feeling the sudden tingling within his heart while feeling her closer to him. Even if it was for a little while, and even though he knew she's lonely and probably holding on to him just to feel someone's presence, these few moment were precious to him. He'd give anything to stay like that.


Misaki's P.O.V

I woke up looking at the blue curtains covering the window. I was wondering how i reached this room or where i was, then a middle aged woman came in. She said smiling:"I'm Usui's mother. How are you feeling?"

Then i remembered, i must have fallen a sleep in the taxi yesterday.

Usui's mother:"Please feel welcomed here. I'm sorry for what happened to your family"

'Did he tell her?' I wondered.

She went on with talking:"I mean, getting into an accident must be hard on you. I'm sorry that your mom is in a coma and for your father's death. Let's just hope he rests in peace"

I was like...'accident? death?' So he lied about it. When i realized that, i felt arms hugging me. His mother was hugging me saying it'll be alright. I let myself sink in her warmth for a while.

End of Misaki's P.O.V


Few hours later...

Misaki:"Your mother is nice"

Usui:"I'm glad you could get along. How was your day?"

Misaki:"It was okay. This is your room right?"

Usui:"Yes, i'm using father's office now. He's in a business trip, but how did you know?"

Misaki:"eh? Just a feeling" She answered startled

' I can't say it smells like you'

"I see"

Misaki:"I appreciate your help and letting me stay here, but i want to go back to school"

Usui sighed: "Then it can't be helped. I'll teach you what you've skipped"

"It's alright. I can just go to school. Besides, you skipped almost all the days. What is there to teach?"

"Do we really have to discuss this?" Usui said giving her 'I'm in charge' look.

He started explaining the lessons. Most of time, Misaki stared blankly at the book or at Usui. Many things went through her mind. Actually, she thought of everything other than the lessons.

"Did you get this problem?" Usui asked.

"Yes" She answered. His question pulled her back to reality.

"Then here's an example for it. Solve it"

Misaki took the pen and wrote many solution for it in no time.

"Correct, but how?" Usui questioned.

"What do you mean? Didn't you just explain it?"

"I did, but i can swear you were staring at my face the whole time"

"Eh? I was NOT!" she blushed.

"That's not the point. You knew all of this all along, then why didn't you stop me from explaining?"

"I did try to refuse. Anyhow, you look happy when you teach. Do you want to be a teacher?"

'Idiot ! I'm happy whenever i'm around you' Usui thought then said:"I'm amazed at how many things you can misunderstand"

"Are you trying to play me? You just said i got the problem correct"

"That's not it. You are misunderstanding again. Can i share a little secret with you?"

Misaki pouted:"Yes, sure, but i don't guarantee i'll keep it"

"Then feel free to talk about it. Hmm... I watched a girl for a long time, and i'm sure now that i like her. No, i love her"

Hearing his words, Misaki felt a sudden wave of disappointment wash over her, but she didn't know why. She asked:"What made you so... sure that you L..love her?"

Usui laid on his back, looking at ceiling :"She can never leaves my mind, and i have no idea how to make my feelings reach her. She always misunderstands me. Since you do the same, i thought you can help"

"You're Mister Popular. You seem like a player. Who'd fall easily for your words? But if you're true about how you feel about her, then never give up. Confess to her . One day, she'll feel your heart" Somehow saying those words to him felt so wrong.

Usui:"Are you sure?"

Misaki looked away:"Yes"

'Why am i feeling bad? I always knew he's just fooling around with me!'

She thought

"I'm sorry, i took a lot of your time. Have some rest"

"Okay..."

Usui stood up to leave. He took few steps forward then turned back standing in front of Misaki then sat facing her.

"The one i love is you" he blushed slightly.

"Eh?" Misaki was dump founded

"I love you"

"If this is some kind of a sick joke, please leave" She looked away.

Usui pulled her into a hug resting her head on his chest.

Misaki felt heat burn her cheeks "W..what are you doing?! L..let go!"

But he held her tighter and whispered:"Stay calm and listen. Listen to my heart beats. If you can't believe my words, is my heart lying?"

She stopped resisting. yes, she wanted to hear them despite how embarrassing her state was.

'heart beats are racing randomly, but i can't tell if that's my heart or yours. I feel like my heart will burst out if we stay like this any longer. Why do you make me feel this way?' She thought.

In a while, he let go and looked at her eyes saying:"I'll not ask for an answer now. It's up to you to accept my heart or not" He left, closing the door behing him. He leaned on the other side of the door, ruffling his hair bangs while trying to calm down and stop blushing . On the other side, Misaki was still shocked. She grasped her shirt pressing on it in a try to calm her wild heart down, but that seemed so hard to do.


2 days later...

The bell rang announcing the end of the school day. Some students gathered their books calmly to leave. Others yelled out of joy and rushed to the gates to get out. Those students were the type that Misaki would chase all over the school to make them calm down, not believing they were high school students to how childish they behaved.

Everyone could tell Misaki was extra calm after she got back to school. She wasn't yelling at anyone or trying to run after them. All thanks to the way Usui held her hand. It was like magic. Whenever she was getting ready to blow up at someone, Usui just hold her hand and a blush find its way to her cheeks in an instant, making her forget the world. However, she still didn't answer his love confession. Not that she could admit she loved him anyways. It was just so not in her dictionary. She was always the one in charge. She hated being tamed by anyone. Hated to admit how Usui could tame her every being.

Usui and Misaki were heading towards the school gate.

"Will you stop holding my hand in puplic?"

"If i didn't, you'd shout and run all day. Not good for your lungs"

"School day is over now"

"Exactly. No need to let go"

She didn't argue any further. Although it was a bit irritating, she still loved to feel him beside her

"Usui ! Wait! " Stopped Ichiro in front of the couple and continued: " I need your help with something. It won't take long. I promise!"

Usui looked at Misaki as if asking for permission.

"Go. I'll wait here at the gate"

She watched him go and waited for a while looking at ground out of boredom, then a shadow rested where she was looking

"Oh, you're back fastly" She looked up and soon the smile on her face was replaced by a trembling lips. She froze for a second then ran out of the gate not caring for the cars. A car almost hit her, but the person who scared her off pushed her crawling with her to the other side of the road.

Misaki was trembling in his arms and tried to use her fists to set herself free from him, but he held her tighter saying:"I'm sorry, so sorry. I wasn't thinking. I don't deserve you or your mother" His voice started to crack 'cause of crying.

"I didn't mean to hurt you. I was so worried. Please ... I'm sorry"

misaki cried as she heard the words being whispered to her ears.

She stopped resisting being in her father's lap:"But mom is in a coma!" She shouted, hitting his chest by her fist.

"I know. Come with me. I know a doctor who can help her. He told me to come today. Let's go see him"


Ichiro looked at his friend who seemed so confused about something

"What's wrong?" Ichiro asked.

"I just feel something isn't right" Answered Usui.

"No, i'm sure i arranged the files correctly"

"Not that. Never mind. Are we done now?"

"Yes, you are free to go"

So Usui went out to the gate, but didn't find misaki. He decided to ask a student who was standing around, but little did he know how much that one can get on people's nerves. Even more than his own self.

"Excuse me, there was a girl waiting at the gate. Do you have any idea where she is?"

The girl:"You mean Misaki?"

"Yes"

"I'm Erica."

"I see. Now, did you see her?"

"Isn't it polite to tell me your name since i told you mine?"

"I'm Usui Takumi, so?"

Erica studied her nails carelessly saying:"Are you... Wait, how do you know Misaki?"

"She's my classmate"

"Is that all?"

Usui losing his patience:"I love her. Now, will you answer my question?"

"No"

Usui regretted ever asking her and decided to leave.

"Wait!" Erica called for him.

"What?"

"I'll tell you"

"Where did she go?"

"She was hit by a car"

Usui stopped breathing.

"What?"

"No, she wasn't"

Usui sighed in relief. What was he thinking? If that happened, he'd hear an ambulance voice or something.

"Then what happened?"

"Somebody saved her, but they both fell unconscious to the ground"

Usui in shock:"Where is she now?"

"No, scratch that. She was saved by someone. I think she really like that person 'cause she hugged him as if her life depended on it"

"What the...?! My bad for asking you"

when he was about to leave, she held his wrist saying:" You lose patience easily. The truth is, she was almost hit by a car but a middle aged man saved her and took her with him. She was crying though."

What Erica said was all he needed to hear to start running like crazy. He went to Misaki's house. Not wasting any moment to catch his breath, he tried to open the door. Luckily it was open, so he didn't have to break it, but no one was there.

He ran back to his house and saw his mother at the door .

Mother:"Why are you running?"

"Misaki, did she come home?"

"No, she called saying she'll be late."

that sent some relief through his body. He asked:"What's with the bag. Going already?"

Mother:"Yes, sorry it's urgent at work. I only knew this morning"

"Okay, then have a safe trip"


Usui's P.O.V

I went to my room after saying goodbye to my mother. It was quite a miracle she stayed home for that long. Anyhow, for some reason, i'm not totally relieved. Did Misaki really go with her father? No, maybe it's someone else 'cause she was so scared of her father. Erica didn't say anything about Misaki struggling or something, but if that's so, why didn't she wait for me to tell me? Erica said Misaki was crying? Wait, what am i doing trusting all what Erica said?! I can't just sit like that!

I opened my laptop and started hacking into her father's informations. I'm a good hacker. No system in the world could stop me.

In few moments, i got all the data about him. I wonder why his informations were protected by such a strong system. Is he someone important? Well, that doesn't matter now. I started reading the results.

Name,age, where he studied and graduated from... etc. None of that mattered. He is a Neuroscientist? I don't know why such an information made my heart race.

A/N: A Neuroscientist is who studies the function of the nervous system.

Then i thought. I didn't try to call her, did i? How could call her slip from my mind? I dug out my cell phone and dialled the number of the cell my mother got for her to check on her. After like 5 rings she picked up.

"U..sui..." Her voice was too weak. I wished dearly it'd be a connection problem that made her voice be that weak.

I freaked out:"Misaki ,where are you?"

"Listen, i'm fine. Totally. Don't worry"

But her words made me worry even more. Before i could say anything, the line went dead. I tried calling her again but her cell was turned off. Making it hard for me to think clearly. I'm so worried about her!


A/N: I don't know how many days had passed since my last update. But to me, the past couple of days felt so long, so as an apology for updating late, i added a bit over 1000 words to the chapter. A bit means few hundreds -_-

Anyhow, for Erica, i know she's so OC in this chapter. I don't know why i imagine her that way.

Now for the reviews. Everyone who reviewed, and who keep reviewing on each chapter. You are really helping me out and cheering me up :D Thank you !
