Chapter 4 – The maid is a warrior
Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait. It's was all the school stuff and since I've done my homework, I can finally write. Anyway here is the chapter and I hope you all enjoy!
I DON'T OWN MAID SAMA!
~Shion's P.O.V. ~
Today at work, Chief explained that lately there were attacks from rapists or something around cafés so Chief brought in some weapons like Tasers and those police sticks. Chief gave us first pick but we refused them and offered them to the other girls because Misaki and I were currently doing Aikido so we can defend ourselves.
"Please give it to the other girls rather than us…" Misaki said as Usui cut in causing Misaki to glare at him
"Do you think that you'll be fine because you're strong?"
"Ah, that's right! Misa-Chan and Shio-Chan are practicing aikido right?" Chief asked moe flowers fell from the sky.
3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~
After school, Misaki punished the guys who were being too loud in the Student Council room by throwing them half way across the room with her monster strength.
"Was that everyone making a racket in the Student Council room?"
There was a pile of what looked like corpses in the middle of the room. I approached her and her face was shining with what she thought was justice.
"Misaki, go easy on them… you can't be so rough with these guys because you could get in trouble with their parents."
"Nicely done," Usui called out from the gym door.
Then he just stared at Misaki for a while and she stared back. After a minute or so, he poked out his tongue and walked off, leaving Misaki enraged and annoyed.
3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~
At the Student Council room, we were in a rush to get to work due to the guys messing around in here. So when we went back to finish off some paperwork, nothing got in our way. Like jet engines, we finished piles and piles of paper work just in time for work. There were around 10 piles of suggestions from the classes about what the school could improve on and we were happy to see that people really wanted to make Seika a better place.
Misaki was in charge of typing up the results and double checking all the paperwork while I had to read through them and either approve or decline the suggestions.
It was interesting what people thought because mostly the girls just said that they would like to get along with the boys more and if there were more activities for the girls to participate in. while the boys wanted music to be played each lesson and to be able to play with the girls without constantly being told off by Misaki which was understandable because Misaki had a sort of mind which prohibited men from doing anything to women which seemed like a threat.
Anyway after 10-15 minutes of intense reading and editing, we were done and left school in a rush to get to work.
3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~
Today at work, Usui kept staring at Misaki and she simply ignored him, even though the look on her face showed that she was indeed pissed.
When I walked passed a table with a chubby guy wearing glasses and a lean guy with his bangs too long to see his eyes, I could see them stare at me like they were inspecting me or something. I sort of brushed it off because that was really the whole point of this place so it seemed normal I guess.
I turned to face another customer when I heard the 'ting' of something metallic falling onto the ground. I turned and found a spoon on the floor so I picked it up and spoke to the two guys,
"Sorry Master, I will get you a new one~"
"Thank you, Shio-Chan~"
After that, everything was normal again. As it got pretty late, the customers started to leave after their daily dose of Maid Latte. We all went to get changed once the café was empty, leaving only the staff. Honoka left first. Chief had gone to a meeting a while earlier but still wasn't back yet.
"The Chief's late today," Erika said as we all sighed in agreement.
"Why did this happen today?!" she moaned as her face went blue.
"Why do you have work to do?" Subaru asked as Erika replied with a typical answer.
"I have a mountain of untouched assignments due tomorrow! Oh~ I don't think I'll be able to do it!"
"I have another job after this," Subaru said smiling nervously as we all stared at her in awe.
Misaki must have been thinking the same thing because she suddenly said,
"Go ahead, you two can leave. Shion and I will stay here until Chief comes back."
~10 minutes later~
"Thank you so much Misaki, Shion but we're a bit worried about leaving you two here alone," Subaru said looking a bit worried and unsure.
"Especially with all those attacks lately," Erika continued but Misaki and I were still confident that we would be alright.
"Don't worry, if a stranger shows up, I'll subdue them," Misaki said with a fierce look on her face.
I could see the relief in Subaru and Erika's faces but they were still unsure.
"Ok, be careful then, and thank you!"
So Misaki and I were alone.
"Let's go lock up," I suggested as I went to the front as Misaki went upstairs.
~Misaki's P.O.V. ~
As I was locking up the balcony door, someone snuck up on me and covered my mouth to stop me from calling for help.
I struggled to get free as the molester was really strong.
I turned to my left to find the little decoration fountain. I could push him in and stun him long enough for me to get free and attack him.
So I stepped on his foot with the back of my foot and he stepped back, allowing me to turn his back towards the fountain. Then I started walking backwards, forcing him to walk backwards too.
Finally when we reached the fountain, I shoved my shoulder into his chest and he fell into the water. I turned to face him, ready to attack him to find a drench Usui looking back at me with a confused face. I felt my anger rise up as he continued to stare at me,
"What do you think you're doing Usui?"
"Playing pretend stalker~"
"Looks like I need to show you that you've crossed the line this time!" I said cracking my knuckles as my anger reached its peak.
So I lectured him about not doing that again because had it been Shion, she would have beat the living day lights out of him and also if it was some different, she could have sued him.
Suddenly he grabbed my wrist and held me close,
"But you're a girl as well,"
I blushed for a bit but regained my original feelings and pushed him away.
Shouting at him and speaking harsh words,
"Mocking me like that!
What? Trying to warn me?
I know I'm a girl!"
I turned and faced the other way,
"Get out!"
After a long silence, Usui finally left and I felt my face go red and hot as I thought back to what just happened. I didn't like that feeling but it wasn't a horrible feeling. What made me angry was that Usui thinks that I'm not capable of looking after myself and thinks since I'm a girl, I'm weak and useless. Well I'm old enough and strong enough to look after myself and my family. Jeez what does he know?
~Usui's P.O.V. ~
After that scolding, it was best that I left her alone. I think I really did go too far with that but the face that she pulled when I held her was enough to make me say that this was worth it, but it would be best to give her some space for a while. Maybe tomorrow I'll do something else…
That's when I turn to the main street to find the figures of two suspicious looking people also there but due to the dark, I couldn't see who it was. They must have spotted me looking at them because they ran off. I had a feeling it was those two from this afternoon.
~ Shion's P.O.V. ~
"Misaki! What was that noise? Did something happen? Usui suddenly appeared out of nowhere and went out the back door soaking wet!"
"Nothing, Usui, that idiot."
3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~
So finally Misaki and I went home. When we arrived home Suzana was in the kitchen but Auntie wasn't home. She must have had to do the late shift at the hospital.
Anyway, since Chief came back so late, she bought some cakes and gave them to us. She was apologising so much but we assured her that we were completely fine.
When we opened the box, I saw a glimpse of heaven. The cakes looked divine. I've seen many cakes like this is in stores but never had the chance or money to eat them.
I picked the triangular one with mango chunks, Misaki picked the strawberry one and Suzana picked the mixed fruit one which was my second choice.
"Suzana! Can we make some tea to go with the cakes?"
"Yeah. And I have the World Tea Set I won through the mail as a prize."
3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~
~Misaki's P.O.V. ~
The Maid Latte can be so peaceful at times. I can't believe how much Usui being here allows me to be so relaxed and cheerful.
Smash!
I quickly turned to see a customer who had dropped his glass and franticly trying to pick it up. I quickly walked up to him and he immediately apologised,
"I'm sorry Misa-Chan! My arm accidently knocked it over,"
"Are you alright?"
"Yea,"
"I'll bring something to clean up right away." So I went back into the staff room and got some gloves and a dustpan.
I started picking up the broken shards on the floor when the guy got down and offered to help.
"No, it's alright Master. It'll be too dangerous,"
"Okay."
~Shion's P.O.V. ~
Day became night all too quickly. It was once again just Misaki and I. Everyone left already and Chief had yet another meeting. She seemed really stressed and kept apologising and promising us that she would try to be back as quick as she can.
Misaki and I made sure to lock up the place properly this time. I was quite curious to what weapons were left in the box. So I had a look.
There was the stick left as well as the Taser, hand cuffs and a couple of bottles of pepper spray.
Suddenly we hear the click of the lock on the door unlocking so we both assumed it was Chief, so Misaki decided to go check while I went to the lockers to get changed.
~Misaki's P.O.V. ~
I went to check on the door to find it properly locked. About to head back into the staff room when suddenly the lights go out.
I turn to see two guys, customers most likely and with them was a handcuffed Shion. They had taped her mouth to prevent her from warning me and I had a feeling intended to do the same to me.
"We picked the door open," the fat one said.
I stepped back, planning to stand in a defence stance but the taller one who was holding Shion threatened to stun her if I didn't obey them.
What they didn't know was Shion, had a dark side to her usual cheerful and optimistic personality. Whenever she was threatened or in times of danger, her other personality appeared.
A while ago when in middle school, a guy was harassing her and using her friend (a guy by the way because Shion used to hang out with guys back then) as a way to negotiate her to date him. Not only that but he had already punched him twice but had bullied him without her knowing. We call her other form Akuma or Aku for short because when she goes into this form, she resembles the Devil himself. The only way to stop her was to shove a lollipop or anything sugar based into her mouth and her happy go lucky self would return.
"Now come upstairs, if you don't want to get Shio-Chan or yourself hurt."
With no choice I went upstairs and they also handcuffed me and sealed my mouth shut with tape. Shion was almost at her limit from keeping Aku sealed inside.
Shion was sitting there kneeling but the aura around her began to change, a chill rose in the air. They started talking about how they think I'm the ideal maid and that they've been watching me. They kept saying that they were better and could teach me new things that would make me happy.
"We know your true nature…"
With a mighty roar I also broke through the cuffs as a raging flame erupted from me.
"You Punks! There's a bloody limit to how much you can dream! You think you know my true nature? Who do you think you are? What do you know about me? You fail of the male species!"
I beat up the first guy throwing him to the ground.
I looked over to Shion and I knew that it was all over for them.
Suddenly a dark, black aura erupted from Shion and she easily broke through the handcuffs and tore off the tape from her mouth.
She started chuckling which sent shivers down my spine, our attackers stood petrified,
"He…he…he… You think that you know our true nature…hehe…don't make me laugh."
The cold look in her eyes made her seem like a true villain. Her once gentle smile now became aggressive and creepy, teeth shown and the aura around her got thicker.
She grabbed the chubby guy by the scruff of his neck and lifted him into the air like she was hold a feather. He made an attempted to Tase her but she simply knocked it away and like a javelin through him across the room to land exactly on top of the other guy.
I reached inside my pocket to find her a lolly of some sort and luckily had a fizzy coke lolly and stuff that into Shion's mouth and she instantly returned to herself and smiled at me.
"You idiots!"
"You guys should know better than to mess with Misaki."
~Usui's P.O.V. ~
I came to check up on Misaki and Shion but it seemed like they were ok, so I was about to walk off when I heard the faintest sound of a voice, a man's voice. So I quickly jumped onto the second floor to find them both cuffed and unable to defend themselves.
They seemed to be talking and I planned to break the glass to get in when suddenly Misaki exploded and beat the life out of those guys. What else was that I witness Shion being someone totally different and was very terrifying.
In no time at all, the managed to subdue them but I had already broken the glass and walked in. like a ninja, they both didn't notice I was there. I started howling with laughter as they both turned to face me, confused and shocked.
"Usui? Argh! The glass!" Misaki yelled as we all stared at the broken window which I shattered to get in.
"Should we tell Chief?" Shion sighed, "I'm going to call the police and Chief,"
~Shion's P.O.V. ~
Moments after I called the police, the Police arrived. The two guys were taken away, I caught Misaki staring at Usui and so did he. She blushed red after he caught her and hesitantly she thanked him, he smiled and time seemed to go on forever as they stared at each other.
"Misa-Chan~" The staring contest stopped as Chief approached un aware of the event that just took place.
"Sorry I'm late~ you two were just staring into each other's eyes were you not? Sorry to interrupt!"
Misaki blushed again, and then Usui pointed upwards to the balcony where he broke the window.
"Usui-Kun, What's wrong?"
Chief looked up and her face went pale.
"Ohhhhh….. What happened?"
"I'm sorry," Usui apologised and I spoke up,
"Well you see-" but before I could finish my sentence, Chief's soul left her body and she collapsed in shock.
"Chief!" we all yelled in unison as our faces went blue.
3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~3~
~A few days later~
"So did you scream at all? Like Oh no someone help me! Like other girls would?" Aoi questioned us and the typical answer given was from Misaki,
"No, we taught them a lesson, they'll never forget!"
"Thank goodness you weren't hurt,"
"Don't worry I'm fine!" Misaki held up a fist at Subaru's comment.
"I guess it's very Misa-Chan like," both Erika and Subaru grinned at each other.
"Ok done!" Aoi tossed Misaki's phone at her, "There, I set it as your wallpaper."
Misaki gasped and went pink.
"W-When did you take this picture?!"
Honoka appeared out of nowhere and answered,
"I did~ Chief says we have to appreciate the cute things together, so she took so many pictures that her memory is filled up!"
One by one they took the phone and looked at Misaki's cute photo.
Usui and I were the lasts one and Usui blushed slightly as I commented,
"How cute, I didn't know Misa-Chan would look so cute~ Right Usui?"
"Hm…,"
Misaki snatched the phone while yelling at Usui,
"No looking, Usui!"
"Hey, give me that photo too," Usui and I said at the same time.
Aoi smirked while holding out his phone,
"Check it out, I have that picture too. I'll send it to you two,"
So we both took out our phones and Aoi began to send us the photo.
"No wait, Stop! How do I change it back?!" Misaki was panicking and asking everyone to help her but everyone just smiled back and Honoka replied,
"If you don't do it yourself, you'll never learn how to use it~"
"Done," Usui said as we both got the image and Misaki sank into despair. I felt sorry for her but this was a once in a life time opportunity so I had to make the most of it.
That night she sat on her desk franticly pushing random buttons, trying to change her background on her phone until it ran out of batteries and she gave up. She moaned at me, telling me that she accepted defeat and she would do anything for me if I changed it for her. I took her word and taught her how to change it. Now that I have the chance to get Usui and Misaki together, I need to come up with a plan, worth putting effort into.
