Thank you for reviewing in the last chapter, woolSmynx! You were the only reviewer I had... (Besides my wonderful friend UnknownPotchi.) ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the idea and story. I don't own the characters either. Such a shame, I know.
Misaki the Supermaid
Chapter Seven: Intruders
"Hmm...so you're the Student Council President?"
Misa nodded, embarrassed. For the rest of the previous day, the day she went shopping for Subaru, Usui had left her alone. Now, he was questioning her. The questions weren't too difficult. They were simply essential for him to know the answers, so that he could prepare her return to Seika High, Misa's school.
She was glad that he had always gone easy on her. But she knew that wouldn't last forever.
"That's nice, Miss Prez," he said happily, the usual grin on his face. Misa glared at him. Oh, how she hated her given nicknames. He just added another. At least, it wasn't as embarrassing. It held some truth, and he actually said it nicely.
The Usui mansion had high walls, a guard tower and a huge lawn. Apparently, that still wasn't enough.
One night, a few idiots had broken into the mansion. They were quiet. Stealthy. Secretive. But also stupid.
Who could blame them? The mansion was huge. Even Misa hadn't known all the rooms and passageways yet.
The three crept in quietly. They marveled at the huge archways, grand staircase, lush carpet and every other elegant thing the mansion contained. They reached the second floor shortly, not even daring to whisper, for fear of waking someone.
At the end of the corridor lay a big room. The intruders thought it might have contained something, therefore, they somehow got outside and scaled the walls until they were sure they had reached the right room.
"What do you think's in there?" asked intruder one.
"I don't know, but let's find out!" said intruder two.
"Oh, look! It's someone's bedroom. I can't see anyone sleeping inside though..." said intruder three.
After giving brief nods to each other, the three opened the window quietly. The glass slid perfectly, noiselessly. They got in with ease.
They closed the window behind them. It shut with a small thud.
Intruder one spotted the only door to the right of the room. Intruder two was busy looking at the contents of a cabinet. Intruder three leaped down from the window slowly, eyeing the bed to see if there was someone asleep and if that person had awoken.
"Ikkun. Look, someone woke up!" whispered intruder three quickly. The other two gasped and then backed into a shadowed portion of a corner in the far end of the room.
The person who had been previously asleep had awoken. She had a strange dream, and she was starting to see and hear things.
She sat up and rubbed her eyes, yawning.
Meanwhile, the three intruders stood in the far corner, shaking. They were busy blaming each other in furious whispers.
Intruder two was closest to the window. He contemplated on whether or not they could escape. Of course, that depended on whether or not the woman in the room would return to her sleep.
Misa yawned again. She looked at the clock on the wall. It read 2:27. It was still early.
Snuggling back into the covers, Misa closed her eyes and buried her face into her pillow. What use was there to stay up at this time?
She didn't fall asleep quickly. Soon after she had laid her head on her pillow, she heard furious whispers. They seemed closer than usual. They sounded foreign. Three men were arguing...
Misa shot up in bed. The three intruders stared at her immediately. Intruder two was halfway out of the room. Intruder three was behind him. Intruder one was peeking from outside through the other corner of the large window.
"Eh..."
Misa glared at them, demon aura clearly emanating. She got down from her bed and strode towards the intruders while they tried to clamber out of the window.
"What the hell do you think you're doing in here?" There was no way she would let three potential criminals escape under her nose. She wouldn't risk that. It could strip her of her job, couldn't it? Right. No way in hell.
Intruder three gaped at Misa. She was holding the back of his collar while intruder two's hair was held in a firm grip. Misa glared at them, ominous aura and all. She couldn't let them escape. They were probably criminals, if not a few idiots breaking in on a dare. They might have even caused trouble for others, and if she let them go, they might have stolen something.
"Ummm..."
"We were just-"
"Leaving."
The two intruders in Misa's grip struggled to break free. They failed. Intruder one stayed outside. He was afraid of her, but he didn't want to leave his comrades behind. He was afraid of what might happen if he left them in the clutches of a demon.
"No, not now." Misa replied. She dragged them back in the room and closed the window shut. It was a mistake. The three decided to fight back.
Intruder one attempted to punch Misa. He missed as she jumped back, surprised by his sudden movement. Intruder two tried to hit her but missed miserably. Misa kicked him in the stomach and sent him down to the ground, clutching his abdomen in pain. She glared at him for a moment, distracted. Intruder three took that opportunity to trap Misa's arms behind her back.
"Hey!" Misa cried out, struggling to get free. Three's grip was tight. It seemed like he was used to fighting.
One grinned at Misa. He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"We're stronger than you, you know? And now-" but he was interrupted as Misa's foot collided with his chin.
Two staggered up and tried to help One. The latter rubbed his chin, grimacing. He glared at Misa, who sent him a glare of her own, but it wasn't as effective as before.
"Don't touch her just because she looks cute,"
Everyone looked at the new voice. Misa grimaced. Usui was here. He was going to save her again, wasn't he?
"Who are you?" Two asked defiantly. Usui smirked. In a split second, he got Two and Three pinned to the ground, leaving Misa free. One shivered once he saw Misa's glare. Her demon aura had increased slightly ever since Usui came in
"I'm Usui Takumi, and this is my maid, Misaki. I don't appreciate your attempts at intruding and trying to hurt her." Usui told the intruders sternly.
One turned to Misa again.
"Misaki? As in, Ayuzawa Misaki, Demon President of Seika High? No wonder you and your demon aura looked familiar," he muttered, and Misa's eyes widened. The three intruders were best friends, troublemakers, in Seika.
"We didn't know you were such a supermaid! And this guy, is he your master?" asked Three energetically. He was Ryuunosuke Kurosaki, nicknamed Kurotatsu. Two was Ikuto Sarashina, nicknamed Ikkun. One was Naoya Shirakawa, nicknamed Shiroyan.
"Wait, what are you asking all of a sudden?" Misa yelled. The three smiled happily. It seemed like a great character change now.
"We didn't know you had such a cool job! Supermaid, wow! Sounds like it came right out of a manga!"
"Is this what you've been doing during your absence? Who knew the Demon President was like a bodyguard!"
"You're so awesome! Who would have known?"
Misa stared at the three. Two were still lying on the floor. One was standing right in front of her, amazed. Misa narrowed her eyebrows. What was there to say?
"Yes, she is my bodyguard. It's my pleasant little secret. Don't tell anyone, alright?" Usui said with a smile. The three, whom we shall call the 'Idiot Trio' from now on, nodded quickly. They were afraid of him, now.
"Of course!" the Idiot Trio replied in unison. They gave Misa lopsided grins and waves, before she shoved them into the direction of the window.
"Alright, alright. Now, just leave. You've caused enough trouble already. What was this, a dare?" she watched the Idiot Trio exit the room, grins still plastered onto their faces. They had a newfound respect for Misa now.
Shiroyan nodded shyly and Misa just sighed. After they had disappeared, she closed the window.
Usui laughed.
"With all your yells and this noise, it's a miracle that nobody's awake." Usui said, stuffing his hands into his pajama pockets. Misa nodded. She scratched her head.
"I'm sorry for waking you, Master Usui,"
Usui shook his head. He grinned at her, saying "If I hadn't woken, you would have gotten into further trouble. I don't want a bunch of fools hurting my dear Prez,"
Misa grunted. He hadn't stopped calling her that.
"Alright. Goodnight, Master Usui." Misa waved, settling back in her bed. Usui approached her.
He got under the blankets and hugged Misa tightly. It was firm but comfortable. Misa turned a bright red.
"Wha-what are you doing? Shouldn't you be in your room and under your blanket?" she asked frantically. Usui only smiled and buried his face in her hair.
"I want to stay with my little Misa-chan. I don't want anyone to harm you," he said. His voice was muffled, but Misa heard everything. She blushed even harder.
"I'll be fine!"
But Usui ignored her.
Misa stayed still. Usui was probably already asleep, she assumed. He wasn't moving and he was breathing steadily. She could feel the rhythm of his breaths, his heartbeat faint but there. It was all soothing, actually. After a while, Misa relaxed. Her face wasn't as red, and her mind was clearing up, vision blurring, body sinking into a soft, warm and comfortable other holding her close...
The next day, Misa woke up to an empty bed. Usui was gone, thankfully. His absence would have made things easier at the moment.
Misa blushed, recalling the last night. She sat up and began to change into her maid outfit.
The bedcovers still had marks of someone who had slept on them. One was very obvious, the blanket was wrinkled and the pillow wasn't fluffed. The other was an extremely faint outline but it was still there. It was present, and slowly receding.
Done. The ending portion was slight fluff. Fluff is good for the heart, the soul...and your fangirl/fanboy part. Everyone has one, if you think you don't, then you probably haven't discovered it yet. :)
Anyway, thank you once again for reading and reviewing. I appreciate all your comments and I'm really happy whenever I see a new review. I love ff (dot) net! It's full of such nice people...
Ehem. Please R & R! And that means Read and Review, NOT Read and Run. You may also Review and Request/Read and Request if you want. You probably don't want, do you? Anyhow, I hope you at least say something. Reviews motivate me. I run on reviews...and ideas. :)
