Chapter-7
A Fix
Usui's P.O.V.
My eyes felt heavy, despite my efforts to keep them open. Through the small opening they granted me, I could see everything but it was blurred. There was a face, very familiar, watching over me. It seemed worried and I had a feeling that told me it was good. I sort of liked it. I didn't know whose face it was. Only thing I could comprehend was the worry on her face was very much to my liking. With what I can call a smug smile on my face, I again closed my eyes and exited the pleasant dream like world into my sleep.

I blinked my eyelids. My hands rose up and a yawn escaped my lips. I felt a lot better than the last time I gained consciousness. This is one of the few times I slept so well, I wonder why though.
My mind felt bliss upon the sight of my neat and tidy room. This was going to be a great day. I tried to pull off the covers but they didn't come off. I wondered what the reason was. Did I become so weak that I was unable to pull the covers or was it something that was obstructing my actions? The first one, I hardly doubt. No matter what infects me (I am immune to all sorts of diseases so this case is trivial), I won't be that weak. So the only fact that remains is the latter. My eyes darted along the sides of the bed and narrowed when an unpleasant sight greeted me.
My maid girl was sleeping on the covers, thus obstructing my actions. The switch in my mind snapped and my angry mode was on.
"What the hell are you doing?!" I shouted but it didn't work on her. She was still asleep. I saw a bowl of water on the bed side and a moist cloth in her hand. I touched my forehead to check for any sign of fever. Nope, I didn't find any. Could it be… that she was nursing me the whole night?
My eyes widened at the thought and my heart for some strange reasons even I didn't know didn't want to wake her up. So I got up, did my routine and prepared the breakfast for the two of us; for two of us because I love my kitchen and can't bear anything happening to it. Then I left for school, hoping she would atleast wake up in time and get there. Come on, she can't be slacking off! She is our President!
I ruffled my blonde spiky hair as my thoughts wouldn't stop about her. What's happening Takumi Usui? Pull yourself together. Just because she nursed you, you can't become any softer to her…

Misaki's P.O.V.
I snapped opened my eyes, only to find my master missing. My eyes scurried off to scan my surroundings, the moist cloth in my hand fell down on the ground. When my eyes landed on the time, then I realised where that rich brat disappeared to. It's almost time for school!
Could he at least not wake me up? I know he's trying to get his revenge but still! Here I was trying to nurse him the whole night as the doctor told me to and he shows no gratefulness! I should have left him lying in his lovely kitchen. I'm really sorry that I have a kind heart and called the doctor for him. Who wouldn't be worried if the guy faints but doesn't receive any damage? Thank goodness! He's safe. I sighed.
Wait! What am I thinking?! He's an idiot. Idiot! And nothing more!
I grabbed my uniform which I stuffed in my bag and finished my routine in jet speed. I grabbed some pan cakes on the table. Wonder if he had made them? Then I began my run for my school.

Normal P.O.V.
"Misaki!" came the brown head after the raven haired girl. Thanks to God, she made it in time despite someone's selfishness. Misaki was in a very bad mood ever since. It even worsened when she saw that smug smile on her master's face after she made it to school. Yukimura chose to stay away from her. Kanou decided not to ask any questions. So did the teachers. The aura she reflected was so scary that everyone ran away at her sight, except for four people who chose to stay in their positions- one running towards her and the other eyeing them carefully for unknown reasons. Sakura and Shizuko were unaware of all this as they were their usual selves around their President friend.
"Huh?" she turned to the source of the voice, only to be greeted by the puppy dog face of her childhood friend.
"Hinata?"
"Where were you? I was so worried. I thought we could come to school together today morning. So I left for your home but you were not there. You shouldn't be worrying people too much you know," he scolded, one of the few people who were capable of doing it. Misaki giggled. To everyone's surprise, she was chatting with him, ever so pleasantly as if nothing has ever happened.
She was chatting with him all the way to her class. She was about to go into her class when Hinata called for her attention.
"Hey, Misaki," he called, heat creeping to his face.
"Huh?" she turned back to look at him. He blushed even more.
"D-Do y-you mind if we could walk home together? I-I have s-something i-important to tell you," he said while stuttering.
"Okay," she said while being clueless about whatever he wanted to tell her.
"Bye then!" he ran off to his classroom.
Both the duo were quite unaware of the fact that someone was watching both of them carefully.

"Phew!" She wiped the sweat off her forehead. There was a lot of work pending and a lot more to do since the festival was approaching. She reached the terrace to seek some peacefulness and a break from the tedious work.
"Tired already?" a familiar voice greeted her. She can never forget that voice after all that that has happened in the past few days.
"What?" she turned back to face the nightmare of her dreams nowadays. "W-What are you doing here?"
She blushed at the proximity they were in. His face was so close to hers that his breath was tickling her skin.
"I'm just worried about my dear maid," he replied with a smile on his face. How she wanted to hit that face of his!
"You don't want to say it loud. You told me you would keep it a secret," she hissed under her breath. This guy sure knows how to get on her nerve.
"I won't break my promise though. That's why I only refer to you, maid girl, when we are not in public. You should be happy about the way I treat you, despite the fact that I hate you," he said, turning away from her and walking towards the exit.
She watched him go away, disgusted that she ever thought he was a good guy.
"One last thing… Stay back after school. We're going shopping!" he said, not even turning back, "I'm not taking no for an answer! I hope you know the consequences of refusing my offers. I think you already had enough oppurtunities."
Misaki fell in thought. What will she do? She promised Hinata to go with him. But again, if she doesn't go with this crazy guy, who knows what he might do? This time she's definitely in a fix.

Somewhere in London…
"What do you say? Alright! I'll do something about it!" Gerard Walker said in a polite voice on the phone.
He sighed. There was no sign of a letter or replies to his messages from his step brother. He had to get him to London soon to put his plan in action but that guy doesn't seem to move from Japan. Though the switch in his personality proved to be useful to him, he wasn't still convinced that that guy will agree to his plans. One more possibility was no one knew when this disorder would be fixed. So, whatever he'll do he'd have to make it late for his brother to change anything back. That only meant the requirement of a faster pace of action which the Japanese guy was not providing. How long would he be stuck up on a stupid revenge?!
A smile played on his lips as his thoughts ran on how to bring his brother into the castle he resided in.
"If he doesn't come back, I'll have to make him… somehow…. Soon…." He said to himself as he rested on his chair.
