Well, I'm back! I don't know if this can even be a weekly thing anymore. Maybe it will be one of those stories that will be updated randomly.
God, I haven't written fanfiction in a while. My grammar needs work.
Or is that just because I'm trying to learn two more other languages at once? Anyway, at least I updated. Hooray. :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Kaichou wa Maid-sama/Maid-sama! I only own Misaki the Supermaid, its content, and plot. Hayate the Combat Butler isn't mine, either.
Misaki the Supermaid
Chapter Ten: Sunrise
The next few days were normal. The teachers and staff had somehow made up some excuse to cover up for Misa's absences.
Usui had taken care of everything.
It had been a great surprise to Misa when she heard that Usui was to attend school with her.
Usui had only grinned at her shock and said, "I have nothing better to do, anyway" but not without adding "But I also want to be with you" while Misa had a mental argument with herself about him.
That was Usui, after all.
"Are you going to help me prepare the decorations, Misa-chan?" asked Sakura. Shizuko carried a full paper bag in her arms.
Misa blinked. The School Festival was coming. It was still quite a while away, but it was better to prepare early. How could she forget?
"Oh yeah! I'm so sorry I forgot. I guess I was just so busy with...things," Misa replied. Sakura and Shizuko already met Usui before, yet they never reacted to his sudden appearance with Misa in Seika. It was as if they had never met him.
"Well, we're going to be planning today after class. Why don't we meet outside the Student Council room? That is, if you're okay with the sudden invitation," Sakura added quickly. Misa laughed.
"I'm fine with it. See you guys later!" Misa gave a huge smile towards her best friends as the bell rang.
More students filled up the corridors as Misa made her way through the forming crowd. Yukimura caught her attention.
"President! There's trouble in the Science Lab on the floor above!" Yukimura yelled, panicky as he was pushed around by the other students. Misa perked up.
"What? It's probably those stupid boys again! I'll get them. Thanks for telling me Yukimura!" Misa ran away while Yukimura was helped to his feet by a friend.
"Don't worry. The President will take care of it," said the other boy. He watched Yukimura gather his things.
"Yeah, she will. I'm sure of it. The President's awesome!"
And another boy watched, unnoticed, from the top of the staircase. He waited until the two retreated into their classrooms, then smiled.
"Yes, Miss Prez really is awesome." He whispered.
But by that time, Misa was already running with demon speed to her classroom.
"Okay, that's enough work for today, guys. See you all tomorrow!"
The members of the Student Council bade goodbye to each other and exited the room, leaving Misa and Yukimura to finalize and clean up the papers.
"You're still here, Yukimura?" Misa asked as she quickly finished the papers, eyeing the Vice President who seemed to not know whether or not he should step out of the room.
Yukimura yelped suddenly and waved his hands frantically.
"It - it's just th - th - at I ... I really adore you, President! You're so awesome! Some even say that - you - you're manlier than me!"
They stared at each other. Yukimura's face was very red, as he was embarrassed, and Misa was blinking.
"I'm...manlier...than you?"
"I don't mean it that way!"
"...Alright,"
And then there was silence.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm not one of those people who hate you because you hate boys. It's not just me. The whole Student Council adores you, President. We all support you. We know you're not such a bad person," Yukimura said quietly.
He looked up at her.
"Just ask us. All of us. We'll all say the same thing."
And then he left.
Misa stretched her arms. It was a little past nine in the evening and she was still at Seika. Her mother had already told her that she would be coming late the next day and Suzuna was spending the night over at a friend's house.
Sakura giggled and showed Misa her finished work. She had cut out shapes and characters for the posters.
"Those are great, Sakura!"
"Thank you, Misa-chan!"
And the two girls continued their work. Apparently, there was a lot of work to do.
"Are you sure you'll be okay by yourself, Misa?" Sakura asked, putting her jacket on. It was nearly eleven in the evening.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"If you're lonely, you could always go over to my house, you know." Sakura informed her friend, hands on hips.
Misa shook her head.
"I'll be going in a few minutes too. I just need to finalize more details. I'm sure your mom would be angry or worried that you're so late. You should really go first,"
And Sakura nodded slowly.
"But remember, Misa. I'll be waiting outside the gate. If I hear anything loud, I'll come back in. I'm not leaving 'till you do or I realize that you're going to really be fine."
"Yeah, yeah. Bye, Sakura!"
"Bye, Misa-chan!"
Misa stretched her arms again and popped her back. It was nearly midnight.
"I can't believe I forgot about the costumes for the events. Oh, well," she mumbled to herself, continuing her work.
"I can't believe you think you're going to be alright at this time all alone."
Misa screamed.
Usui laughed.
Misa hit Usui.
Usui continued laughing.
"Awww...I just wanted to make sure my little maid was doing fine. You know, you should either be serving me or staying with me. That's why I'm here," he told her, patting her head. Misa fumed.
"Shouldn't you be asleep right now? And why are you still here?" She yelled at him.
Misa blinked. She looked away, blushing, and added "Stupid Master".
Usui smiled at her.
"You should finish that all tomorrow, you know, Miss Prez. It's almost twelve-thirty now."
"Shut up, Idiot Master."
"That's not nice to say to your master."
"You know you don't care if I call you an idiot or any other name, Master."
"Awww...Misa neko-chan has claws,"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Are you giving me the silent treatment, now, Misa-chan?"
She slapped him.
Misa groaned. She opened an eye and quickly closed it again.
"Too early," she mumbled, and rubbed her eyes.
Usui laughed softly.
Misa shot up in her chair. She glared at him.
"You fell asleep, Miss Prez."
"I know that."
Usui ruffled her hair and walked towards the window. He smiled at her.
"Well, whatever. Stay awake at least for a while, Misa-chan. It's sunrise. It's my first sunrise with you."
And true enough, Misa watched the sun rise above the horizon. The shadows grew lighter. Sunlight spilled onto the tables, chairs, papers, Misa's face and of course, Usui's smile.
"Good morning, Misa-chan."
Misa sighed and gave Usui a tired smile.
"Good morning, master."
I updated. Wow.
It's amazing, really. But at least I'm here!
So, this won't be a weekly thing anymore, but I'll try to make the chapters longer. So please submit feedback!
I love reviews.
And although this author's note is short, I think I'm getting back on my style path again.
Read. Review. Make me smile. Make me happy.
See you again, mein freunde, mes amis, mis amigos, aking mga kaibigan, and my friends.
:)
