Disclaimer: I do not own Maid-sama.
Chapter Nine – Confession
Misaki opened her eyes "where am I?" she wondered. She felt a hand touching hers. She sat up straight and yawned "Usui..." her eyes widened "Usui!" she realised she was in the back seat of a jeep. She looked at the review-mirror and squinted "am I thinking of Usui that much? I must be go going crazy" she gently shook her head.
"So you're finally awake" the dark haired driver spoke.
"Where are you taking me?" she enquired distressed.
He smiled "we're going to England. Over there you'll be safe" he replied.
Misaki looked out the window as the car began to slow down to a halt "what day is it?" she asked- calming down. She was too tired to keep questioning him. If this was the real Usui beside her it meant she must be alright...
"What day is it?" she asked.
The dark-haired driver parked the car and Usui woke up "it's Wednesday" he answered tiredly.
"What?" she shrieked "I missed two days of school already."
He shook his head- still half asleep "no, you've missed three days including today."
"Misaki, you're awake" Usui said surprised.
"And so are you..." she pointed out.
Usui got out of the car and ran to the backseat and swiftly pulled Misaki closer by the arm and brought her in for a hug. "Thank goodness, if you were to die I would have gone crazy" he said into her hair. He closed his eyes noticing that the car had stopped in front of his apartment. He took a deep breath in "I don't know what I would have done if you were to disappear from my life" he admitted.
Misaki flushed red "what do you mean and what are you talking about?" she questioned.
Usui huffed and broke away to look at her face "you're a vampire."
"Huh?"
Aoi sat in front of his parents who were frozen from shock about hearing that their son is going to England to study with Claire. Claire shot up and pulled Aoi's arm signalling for him to stand as well. She exhaled "well as nice as this was, we have a plane that we should be catching if you don't mind- thank you for letting us come."
Aoi's parents stood up as well "well thank you for the flowers, cake and the giant refrigerator" Aoi's Mother thanked.
Claire smiled "you're welcome. They say you should never invite yourself to someone's house empty hand. When I came here before I noticed your fridge wasn't that big." Claire dragged Aoi by the arm to the door "thank you for everything" Claire waved. A black jeep stopped in front of Claire and Aoi when they reached the footpath. "Gerrard, you came but how did you know we were here?"
"Usui" Gerrard replied gesturing to Usui who was sitting shot gun.
Claire opened the back seat door and slid into the middle seat "oh Misaki" she smiled as Aoi sat beside her. "So we're all going to England. This is going to be so much fun."
"Misaki?" Aoi almost jumped from shock. "You found her, Usui?" he wondered.
Usui shook his head.
"Then who did?"
"Gerrard" Usui replied.
"And she still hasn't thanked me for finding her" Gerrard commented.
"Thank you" Misaki grumbled. For some strange reason she was a little moody- she didn't know why exactly...maybe it was because of change or confusion- either way, she was unhappy and grumpy.
Tora looked at his wrist watch "they should be here soon" he noted. He looked up as he saw Usui and Claire's blonde hair. "Oh, so sad to see you leave, Walker Clan" he farewelled. He scanned through the faces in front of him- his eyes widened and came to a stop in front of him behind Usui stood Misaki who had her arm crossed. "So you decided to leave with Usui."
Misaki ignored him. Usui glared at Tora "she's not in the mood for you right now" Usui said.
Tora chuckled "she doesn't seem to be in the mood for any of you" he pointed out.
"Tora just-" Usui was cut off by Misaki.
"Seriously!" she tried not to yell.
"Misaki" Usui and Tora said in unison with a soft voice- shock and surprise in their voices.
Misaki exhaled "did I get my say in this? No. Did I ask to be dragged into your weird world? No. Did I want to leave my family behind like my father did- without a word? No again. I didn't want any of this. To meet any of you people, to become a vampire, to leave the country right after I killed someone...I became a murderer because I was turned into a vampire. Do you know how this feels to me- it makes me feel bad, like maybe I should just go and die" she was panting for air even though she didn't need it.
She composed herself. She took a deep breath in "I have to go" she said disappearing. Usui chased after her but she was a really fast runner.
Usui stood in the middle of the car park "where did she go?" he asked himself.
Claire appeared behind him and put a hand on his shoulder "I've never seen someone run so fast" Claire said. "Anyways, I think I know where she is" Claire added.
Usui turned around "where? Please tell me" he pleaded.
"First tell me, are you going to stay here with her or come back home with us?" she questioned.
Usui looked down at the ground "I will stay by her side. So if she wants to stay then that's what I'll do" he answered.
"Alright, but I hope you know what you're doing because I know you. You can't live long without blood and if you get caught, my family won't help anymore. Only because we've already done so much for you and my Father says you abuse the name too much" she explained.
Usui nodded understanding what he just got himself into then waited for Claire to finish speaking.
She exhaled "isn't it obvious" she grinned "she went home."
"Thank you" he thanked turning around and hugging Claire.
"No worries" she said as he rushed to Misaki's house.
He neared Misaki's house but couldn't find her scent but he knew that she did come by. He walked down the streets searching for her. Her scent started to get stronger. He knew exactly where she was. He followed her scent and then looked up at her "Misaki..." he broke off when he noticed her curled up in the shape a ball sleeping up in the tree.
He jumped up and reached a branch. He swung himself over to the next branch on top of him then leaped to the branch Misaki was on. He scooped her up in his hands and jumped down from the tree landing softly and perfectly. He looked down to see if he had startled her but luckily hadn't. He walked Misaki home- carrying her in his arms.
Misaki's eyes slowly opened "where am I?" she wondered as she sat up. "Usui?" she shrieked when she caught a glimpse of a person with blonde hair on the floor.
Usui sat up and yawned "huh?"
"What are you doing in my room? Aren't you meant to be in England by now or something?" she questioned.
Usui crossed his legs and ran his hand through his ruffled hair "oh, you're awake. Good morning."
She glared at him "why are you here?" she asked.
"Still moody I see" he noted.
She sat on the edge of her bed- her feet touching the cool floor "would you answer my question or leave."
"Then answer my question."
"I asked you first" she retorted.
He stood up and stretched his arm and legs- yawning "then I guess I'm staying."
Misaki shot up standing "what?"
"So are you going to answer my question?" he teased.
She closed her eyes and exhaled "fine. What is it?" she crossed her arms and glared at him for winning.
He stepped closer to her, there was a metre separating them "why didn't you go home last night?"
Misaki frowned "what? What do you mean?"
"I came looking for you and thought you might have gone home but when I got here you weren't here then I found you up in that cherry tree" he explained. "So why didn't you go home last night?" he repeated.
Misaki stepped back till she hit her bed. She sat down and looked up at Usui "I didn't want to hurt my family. I couldn't live with myself knowing I killed another human- and if it were my Mum or sister I would kill myself" she replied.
Usui sighed and walked over to her. He patted her hair "would you kill yourself, if I died?" he didn't want that sad expression on her face to stay there so he decided to change the subject.
"Who in their right mind would die for you?" she questioned.
He pushed her back and caged her with his arms on the bed "you're so mean" he murmured into her ear. She could feel his cool breath "because I would certainly die if you were to die" he smirked.
Her face would have turned red by now but couldn't she smiled in relief "get off of me you perverted alien" she said.
However he was too strong "aw, you're a fast runner but not very strong" he taunted.
She swiftly pushed him away "I am strong enough to beat you..."
"Don't get so cocky with yourself. I am older than you" he pointed out. She didn't reply. So he sat down beside her keeping a small distance to show her that he wasn't going to do anything. "If it'll make you feel better- you won't kill your sister or Mother."
Misaki looked up "how can you be so sure?"
Usui leaned back on the bed- using his elbows to tilt himself up "because a female vampire can only drink a male vampire's blood as a male vampire can only drink a female vampire's blood" he answered. "It's the same as you only being able to erase the minds of males."
"What do you mean erase minds?" she raised an eyebrow.
"Every vampire is able to erase the minds of the opposite gender because we need to make sure no one finds out about us" he replied. "However some vampires are able to compel people of any gender and some that are stronger can even compel other vampire but they're rare."
Misaki sighed "this seems very long. I'm going to be late to school' she said getting up.
Usui stood up "do you want me to help you get dressed?" he offered.
Misaki pushed him out of the room "get lost. I have to get ready for school" she shut the room "you too."
The whole day at school Misaki did not see Usui once. She made her way to the student council room. She swung the door opened and everything went quiet. Shortly after all the guys screamed "I thought she was meant to be away today! Why is she here? I thought she moved schools."
Misaki glared at every one of them and they returned to silent "if you cannot see, I am here. I know I have been away for the last few days but it doesn't mean you can slack off." She put her hands on her hips "now clean this mess" she shouted.
All the boys hurried to clean things up. When they were done they ran away. Yukimura was the last boy left. He scaredly approached her "while you were gone a couple of boys got into a fight with another school."
Misaki exhaled "what school?"
"Miyabigoka High."
"The school for rich kids?"
Yukimura nodded.
"Who was it?"
Yukimura searched for a clipboard with sheet of paper on it. He looked through them and replied "Ishii Daisuke and Saitou Yuuto"
Misaki let out a long sigh and massaged her throbbing head "okay, get me those boys tomorrow so we can go and visit the school to apologise" Misaki arranged. "Call up the school to tell them we are coming tomorrow."
Yukimura nodded again and left the room.
Misaki sat at her desk that she had not seen in ages. She opened the drawer to get a pen out as the door opened "I thought I heard someone coming" Misaki said.
Usui smiled "you seem better."
"Don't talk to me about seeming better" she retorted. She still felt not-herself. "I'm in a school where the male population is much higher than female population. How can I endure my thirst?" she questioned. She grabbed him but the collar of his shirt "can you not see how much I want to drain every one of them" she strained.
Usui gently pushed her away- her grip softening "calm down, relax...take a few deep breaths" he suggested. "You can get through this. You're the one who decided to stay so you must pull through."
Misaki took in several deep breaths "it didn't work. I'm still thirsty" she pointed out.
"How are you so thirsty even though you drank an entire person yesterday?" he looked at her puzzled. "It must be because you're so energetic and fired up" he answered himself.
"Not helping."
"You have changed since the transformation."
"Usui..." irritation was obvious in her voice.
He sighed and stepped closer to her "just relax" he commanded.
She stood up and walked in front of him. She poked him the chest several times while saying "relax, relax, relax...how can I relax when I want to murder someone?"
Usui caught her hand "they don't have to die for you to drink their blood. Why do you think you're able to erase their memory? If they died there would be no point in erasing their memory."
Misaki jerked away from him "okay then but why do you keep sticking around? Why don't you just go off to England?"
"Because I lost that chance to stay with you" he replied.
"What?" she enquired.
"It doesn't matter. I just risked some things to be here with you."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Usui grabbed Misaki by her wrists and pinned her against the wall "I love you" he confessed kissing her passionately on the lips.
Usui ended the kiss as Misaki started to struggle to try and break free from his grip "what are you talking about?" she looked away- giving up.
"I love you Ayuzawa Misaki" he repeated. "And I never want to leave your side" he added.
Misaki mentally shook her head "I think I need to leave" she said.
Usui shook his head "not until you admit it."
"Admit what?"
"You know what I mean. If you don't, then we're going to stay like this."
She struggled "let me go."
"Okay" he stepped back "but you can't forget what I just said to you." He let her go and left the room "you're not going to this Miyabigoka school alone" he said.
Misaki frowned "you're not the boss of me" she said to herself.
