..You Are Mine..
Chapter 4
*..*..*..*..*
*peap* *peap* voice woke Usui from his sleep. He flicked his cell phone open in order to read the incoming message.
'You have been transferred to another stage due to the lack of your points.
The prohibited manner in this stage is:…'
Usui grinned when he read the prohibited manner. He couldn't wish for more. Finally, a way to get a hint of how Misaki feels about him.
Usui was somehow in a subway train. He looked at his cloth. He was wearing a uniform. A school uniform, so he guessed he is a high school student in this world.
He searched for Misaki, and found her sleeping on a seat on opposite of his seat. She was wearing the same school's uniform.
An old lady entered the train, so Usui stood and lat her sit instead of him. He walked towards Misaki's and held the dangling ring as he stood in front of her.
*peap* *peap*
A message reached Misaki. It woke her up.
"Welcome into the new world" Usui stated, attracting Misaki's attention.
For a second, she forgot about checking the message.
Misaki looked at Usui, and said:"what are you wearing? And where are we?"
"We've been transferred to another stage, and I'm wearing the same uniform you are wearing. We might be classmates" Usui smiled at her.
Misaki looked at her uniform, and realized he's right. She remembered she heard a voice of an incoming message, so she fished her cell phone out of her pocket.
Usui snatched the cell phone out of her grasp, preventing her from reading the message.
"What are you doing?" Misaki asked indignantly.
"Say… do you like me?"
"What's are you saying?" his question took her off guard. She instantly blushed.
"Do you, do you not?"
"I don't" Misaki pouted.
*peap* *peap* another message arrived at Misaki's cell phone. Usui smirked and returned her cell phone to her.
Misaki checked the incoming message.
It read:"for violating the prohibited manner of the current stage, your points are deducted to 90"
Misaki frowned; what manner?
She opened the message she received before this one. It said:
'You have been transferred to another stage due to the lack of your points.
The prohibited manner in this stage is: lying
The amount of deduction: 10 points'
Misaki looked at Usui's happy-sly smile. 'He must have known' she thought.
She began to panic; the fact that she answered his question by denying and received a deduction message, is as good as telling him she likes him!
*peap* peap* was heard from Usui's phone. an incoming message. Usui frowned; he wondered why he received a message, he didn't lie.
He opened the message, it read:
'You have been transferred to another stage due to the lack of your points.
The prohibited manner in this stage is: lying
The amount of deduction: 10 points'
'They sent it twice, an error?' Usui thought.
'Just now did you lie about not liking me or did you receive the new stage rule's message twice?' Usui asked, feeling his little joy fading, if it's not a lie, then Misaki truly doesn't like him!
Misaki didn't answer. She pushed him aside due to the amount of embarrassment she felt. She was about to move to the other side of the train, but Usui held her hand, preventing her from going. He said:" we must leave the train at the next stop from this side.
Misaki sighed and returned to her seat. "Usui, although there's no rule that prevents from hurting people, let's not do that on this stage. Although it's a virtual world, I don't want to do that again" Misaki said, thinking about Saki from the previous stage. She felt guilty about him.
Usui, who studied her face, could tell what she is thinking about, therefore, he agreed.
Soon, the train stopped, and they began walking towards their school.
As soon as they entered the school-yard, Misaki asked:"how are we supposed to know our classes? It'll be weird to ask"
Usui looked at the building of the school and said:"maybe she'll lead us"
Misaki looked at where Usui is looking. There was a blonde girl waving at them from the window of a class. She seemed to know them.
"What class are you in?!" Usui shouted.
"What do you mean what class am I in? It's our class! Are you trying to tease me?! Get right here right now!"
A brown haired guy poked Usui by his elbow and said:"what are you doing shouting to each other Romeo and Juliet? Wait, even Romeo and Juliet don't do that mid-morning "
Usui looked at the teasing look of the guy, and then deducted he has some sort of relationship with that girl.
"I'm not going anywhere 'till you come and greet me properly!" Usui shouted to the girl.
"Eeeh! You're so demanding. Don't go any where!" the blonde girl shouted and left the class.
Usui smiled at Misaki and said:"we earned a guide to our class"
However, Misaki wasn't so relieved about this.
And her doubt was confirmed, for whoever that girl is, she came running and gave Usui a bone-crushing hug. Misaki gasped at the sight.
Usui blinked twice; he never expected the girl would be this direct.
The blonde girl held Usui's wrist and pulled him towards the class. Misaki, still bewildered, didn't move.
"What are you doing Misaki? We'll be late!" the blonde girl said, urging Misaki to move.
And so, Misaki followed them.
The teacher arrived at their class. Everyone sat on their seats.
The seats were arranged in rows that contained separate seats. There was no 'adjoining' desks.
The blonde girl sat in the front of the class, while two empty seats were spared. Usui and Misaki assumed they're for them.
Everyone laid their literature books on their desks. Misaki did the same. Usui was about to do the same but he had a better idea.
He stood and said:"I'm sorry, I forgot my book"
*peap* *peap* was heard. Usui knew his points were deducted.
"First turn off your cell phone. Secondly, share your classmate's book" the teacher instructed.
On Usui's right side, was the guy that poked him earlier. On his left side, was Misaki.
Usui drew his desk towards Misaki's and said:"hi"
"Why did you lie about the book? It doesn't worth losing your points" Misaki wrote on her book for Usui to see. When she heard the incoming message voice, she knew he lied.
"Sharing your book does" Usui wrote his replay.
Misaki blushed and wrote:"quit that, you have a girlfriend here"
Although she wrote it, she felt uneasy.
"I love you, not her. Do you want me to do something about her?"
"Something like what? Don't hurt her. We agreed not to hurt anyone'
'I'm only thinking of you. Don't you think of me?'
Misaki, once more, was cornered. She didn't want to start from the beginning again. She wanted to keep the 90 points she has. However, there's no way she would answer his question honestly.
'Maybe avoiding it will be better, that's not a lie' Misaki thought as she wrote:" the teacher will notice our chat on the book, let's pretend to listen"
"Pretending while we're not listening is a type of lying"
"Then let's listen to the lesson"
"Is it okay for me to stay with her?'' Usui wrote, ignoring what she wrote. He was seeking insurance. Any hint of Misaki's true feelings. He wondered if what he is feeling is one-sided.
Misaki ignored his question, if she said yes, her points will be deducted, if she said 'no…' well, there's no way she can say no, that's as good as confessing she likes him.
To misaki, this 'no lying' rule is a psychological war. She's always honest and direct, she hates lies, but when it comes to Usui, it's the only way to escape from his teasing, the only way to hide her embarrassment.
The class ended. Another teacher entered the class. However, he seemed in a hurry. He held a chalk and wrote:
'Self-study'
And then he left the class.
The guy that poked Usui; the brown haired guy, stood and made his way towards the teacher's desk.
Everyone's sights were focused on him, and then, a student handed him a paper.
He looked at the paper and then said:" we reached number 7 on the list of: (how to spend self-study time)
Number seven says: Couple Teasing!"
The whole class cheered.
He continued:"Now… all the couples here come to the front:
Takumi and Hikari.
Suzuki and Inori.
Shouta and Misaki!"
A girl stood and said:"Shouta, Misaki's boyfriend is absent"
Misaki blinked twice; her boyfriend?
The brown haired guy said:"Eeh, then that leaves only two couples"
He smirked slyly and said:"no worries, I'll make it perfect! But we need some room"
All the students knew what they have to do. They removed their desks to the back of the class.
The brown haired guy smiled at the class's swift movement. He loves his class more day by day. He said:" the first couple teasing challenge is: Couple Modeling!
Do postures that show your affection and love for each other. Everyone will take pictures of you. The best postures will win this challenge. We'll start with: Takumi X Hikari!"
"Aah! This is my zone! Leave it to me, follow my guide" Hikari; Usui's blonde girlfriend said.
Usui thought about it for a moment. Maybe it's a chance to know if Misaki likes him. if she got jealous, it means she feels something towards him. He decided to go by the class's activities.
The first posture of Usui X Hikari:
Hikari leant her back against Usui's back, the back of their heads touched as they both had a dreamy look on their faces while looking at the ceiling.
'Kyaaaa!' Girls squealed as everyone began to take pictures.
Misaki was surprised by how Usui was into the mood. He seemed so… charming. However, the uneasiness within her grew bigger.
The second posture of Usui X Hikari:
They lat their foreheads touch each other while looking at each others' eyes. her hands were on Usui's shoulders while his hands were in their pocket.
'Aww they're so cute!' A girl stated, some girls were melting, while the boys continued taking pictures.
Misaki stood in the back of the crowd. She knew they looked cute, but what bothered her the most is the eye contact they formed.
She held a text book and aimed it at the space between them in order to break their irritating eye contact, but before she could throw it at them, they broke their posture. She sighed in relief.
The third posture of Usui X Hikari:
Usui held Hikari's curly hair wisps between his fingers and pecked them while closing his eyes. She looked at him shyly.
Misaki's relief didn't last for long. The third posture completely took her off guard. She looked at the textbook within her hands and realized it's not enough. She wanted something bigger. Usui deserved to be hit by something bigger. She pulled the biggest book she could find out of her bag, but once more, they changed their posture.
The fourth posture of Usui X Hikari:
Hikari leaned her head against his shoulder and had a genuine smile on her face while he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, leaning his head against her hair.
Misaki gritted her teeth; there's no use in trying to hit them. They'll change their posture soon.
Misaki kept pattering on the floor by her foot impatiently. Didn't they stay longer than they are supposed to on that posture? She regretted not aiming something at them.
The fifth posture of Usui X Hikari:
Usui stood behind Hikari and wrapped his arms around her waist while placing his chin on her shoulder.
Misaki gasped. She froze on her spot, unable to react. Isn't he doing too much?
The seventh posture of Usui X Hikari:
Usui pecked Misaki's forehead while holding her close. She had a shy smile on her face. There was barely any space between them.
A flying chair found its way towards the board behind the couple, followed by:"stop that crap already!"
Misaki lost it.
The whole class became silent. Usui blinked twice as he released Hikari,.
After a while, the class regained its commotion. Everyone began to gossip.
Misaki realized what she just did. She began to panic, what if they noticed her feelings towards Usui? Wouldn't that hurt Hikari?
'Why did you tell them to stop? Do you by any chance like Usui?' The brown haired guy asked Misaki.
Hikari looked at Misaki cautiously.
"No" Misaki answered. She hated it when people around her get hurt. Although it's virtual, she hated how she must've hurt Saki in the earlier stage, so she didn't want to hurt anyone again.
Misaki's points were deducted to 80. Her cell phone was on silent mode so it didn't ring.
"Eeh I saw them in the morning together, did you come to school together?" one of the girls asked.
"We met at the gate" Misaki answered shortly. She didn't want Hikari to feel unsecure about her loved one. Her points were deducted to 70.
"She seemed very jealous while watching them" a guy stated.
"I wasn't jealous!"
60
"I'm just tired"
50
Usui observed Misaki, he was surprised by how much she wanted to protect Hikari, but although it hurt him that she denies everything, he understood what she's aiming at. The fact that she got jealous over him is enough for him.
"There's nothing between us" Usui stated, helping her. He didn't want her to lose all her points.
His points were deducted to 80
The gossips ended with Usui's statement.
A girl approached Misaki and whispered:"don't tell Hikari I said this, but I think you like Usui"
"No, I don't!" Misaki said out of embarrassed, and then she realized what she just did. She lied.
40
It's over… she'll start from the beginning again.
Usui observed the look on Misaki's face, the look of defeat. He knew she must've crossed her 50 points limit.
"Everyone! Lets state some facts" Usui shouted, attracting everyone's attention, and then he said:
"I'm an alien"
I came from the planet pheromone.
In the planet pheromone, we learn everything about human world.
Every skill of your skills. I'm professional at it.
We speak a different language
In our original form, we can fly, but once we come to the human's world, we are stuck in human body"
Everyone stayed silent for a bit, but then began to laugh. His word were so imaginary to the extent they began to laugh at him.
"Speak your language" one of the students said mockingly.
Usui instantly began to speak a strange language no one ever heard before. It was a made-up language, but he spoke it so perfectly everyone thought it's a real language. Besides, no one can make up a language in a split second.
The atmosphere was beginning to become serious.
Another student asked:" this equation is from a higher class. You said you are perfect at every human skill, solve it"
Usui solved it in less than a minute.
The students asked him to cook in the cafeteria, do all kinds of sports, and he did them perfectly.
They were beginning to think they are freaks for believing he is an alien, but they did believe that.
To them, Usui is officially an alien.
The day reached an end, and Usui and Misaki were left alone in the class.
"Can I use your phone?" Misaki demanded
Usui gave her his cell phone and asked:"who do you want to call? We're in a virtual world"
Misaki chuckled when she checked his inbox, and said:"your points are 0, which means you were lying about being an alien and everything you said about aliens"
"Did you believe it?"
Misaki giggled and said:"a little… but why did you lie?"
"I realized you're staying here for another round. I can't go back alone, nor leave you alone. I must ensure no fiancée nor will boyfriend appear in your life while I'm not there" Usui stated while smiling.
Misaki blushed. She stayed silent. She never felt more grateful than this throughout her whole life.
A blinding light filled the place, and they were transferred to another stage.

Ely:

Canichan001:

If they are trying to prove their love prevails under these conditions, they'll never leave the virtual world. (just thinking). it feels sugoii to read your reviews. Arigato ne
Guest:
thank you for your idea! It seems great, I'll see if I can make it, thanks!
Rebekah:
thank you :D
Padfoot Starfyre:
A world where they can be together in the end is possible. It has to be without any guys close Misaki, without any girls close to Usui, without any cause of jealousy, a world where both Usui and Misaki can be calm and think rationally not to lose their points…. Alright now that seems like a hard world to find :p
Anggun-chan:
hehe I'm glad you enjoyed the runaway part, I was intending to make them jump off a hotel building and into a pool of water that is under it while running but I thought: 'let's keep it calm' otsukare! *waves back to you*
Bittersweetlife:
hehe it's only natural for Usui to be crazy. I have a feeling if he was called 'insane' by someone he hates, he won't feel any bit of offense at all. He'll like it
