Not So Different

So read some of the reviews which are gradually growing and noticed that (warning), you may hate me and not want to read anymore but just keep in mind that I am a MisakiXUsui shipper ^^


Chapter Seven

The Hero Effect?

Misaki finally came to a stop from her fall down the slope. She stood up and dusted off her clothes. She started to walk but then fell to her knees in pain. She cringed and worded a swear word. She got back up and persevered on. She took continual deep breaths, enduring each step.

She got to a point where you couldn't just walk up but you had to climb. She reached up onto one of the rocks and checked for its stability then started climbing up. When she had almost reached the top unexpectedly, it began to rain and the rock underneath her hurt leg fell.

She quickly leaped forward to the top so she was hanging off the edge then clawed her nails into the ground and attempted crawling the rest of her body up. She gasped as she pushed her body up. She stood up and tried to hike up the slope again but the rain made the dirt slippery and she slipped, causing her to fall backwards and slam her back into a boulder.

She attempted getting up but it was just too painful so she leaned back on the boulder. She didn't know how long she'd been sitting there but the rain was getting heavier and the wind blew her hair all over the place. Her body was freezing cold and it began to hurt with ever slight move.

"Usui…! Usui…!" She weakly called into the forest. "Why are you always there when I need you?" She shouted. "But where are you now?" She screamed with all the energy she had left.

She was beginning to feel really tired and her body was feeling weak so her eyes were slowly closing. "Have you even noticed that I'm missing?" She started to think aloud.

Suddenly she noticed a familiar figure running towards her. A weak smile appeared on her face. He came and scooped her up in his arms and patted her hair. "Are you alright, Misaki?" He asked.

Misaki had no more strength so she just responded with a weak nod and fainted in his arms. "Thank you… Usui" She said with her last breath.


Misaki had been asleep in the infirmary for an entire day. She slowly opened her eyes then quickly shut them because the lights were too bright. She gradually got use to the lights then attempted to sit up but winced as her body shocked with pain all over. So she ended up lying back down.

Unexpectedly she heard a conversation, from a few beds over. "It's fine. The plan worked out perfectly."

"What do you mean perfectly? Do you not see where we are?"

"You'll see. Just think of the hero effect".

Misaki frowned in frustration trying to figure out whose voices those were. "The hero effect?" She copied in a murmur.

"Misaki, did you wake up?" Hinata asked as he opened the white curtains around her partly.

'So it was Hinata, but who was the girl?' She thought to herself. "Ah, Hinata. Yeah, but I can't get up- it still hurts", she commented.

"Just stay lying down, until you get better", he said with a glad smile on his face.

"Where's Usui?" She wondered.

"I don't know. I've been in here then entire time since I brought you in yesterday", he pointed out.

Misaki's eyes opened in shock. "Wait, you brought me in?"

Hinata nodded- embarrassed. "It was nothing. You could say I was destined to find you because it was the lighting that helped me find you". He explained, looking away.

Misaki sat up in the bed and bowed her head. "Thank you", she thanked him. "Ouch!"

Hinata quickly helped her lie back down. "It was nothing. Why did you have to get up and bow? We're friends after all."

"Still…" She replied.

Hinata fixed the pillow under her head. "You would have done the same thing", he added. He tucked her into the bed. "Just get some more rest, I'm going to go tell the nurse that you've already woken up."

Misaki nodded as Hinata left, forgetting to shut the part he opened- that was when she noticed his blonde hair standing in the hallway, staring at her. "Usui!" She called out, almost getting out of the bed.

Usui just stared at her worried for a few more seconds then left.

"Usui?" She repeated.

She got up from the bed and ran towards Usui as he walked away but she was too late. He had disappeared. She slowly walked back to her bed and noticed Hinata trying to carry ten blankets over but was failing so she swiftly ran to his side and carried seven of them.

"Misaki?" He questioned. "Why aren't you in bed?"

Misaki shrugged. "It's nothing." Then smiled. "Wait, why do you have so many blankets?" She asked,

"They're for you", he replied as they walked back to Misaki's bed. As they put down the blankets, Hinata took one. "I just need to give one to some else." He proclaimed.

Misaki sat on the edge of the bed and thought to herself while she waited for Hinata. When he came back in a rush she suddenly asked him. "Do you know what the hero effect is?"

Hinata paused for a few seconds, wondering if she overheard their conversation before. "I don't know, sorry". He shrugged.
