Chapter-10

The Opposite

Takumi's P.O.V.

What's the matter now? Why is she not even reacting? At least she could be happy. Wait, she should be happy! After all, one big hurdle from her life is being removed. Why isn't she even twitching? Is the happiness so much that she died of it? Or is it so sudden that she can't believe it? Why she is not saying a word?

I could feel my forehead getting a little wet. Something was bothering me but I don't know why. Why am I so bothered about her reaction? Heck why did I even tell her? Is it my responsibility or my duty? I feel like a servant asking his master for permission to go home. I can't recollect my ever being her servant. Whatever, I'd better leave. I just wanted her to know. No one's going to ask me why so why should I be bothered?

I took back the letter from her hands. While snatching it, my fingers made contact with hers. Obviously if she held it tight in her hands, how will I even take it? That's not the point though. Her fingers…. They were cold. I felt a slight quiver. Her head was held low still. I couldn't comprehend the expression on her face if at all I could see it. My heart began beating fast. What is this feeling? I was perfectly alright a moment before. Why am I feeling the sudden urge to hug her and kiss her? I'm sure I'll be on the ground floor on my very first attempt. Not that I can't handle her but she isn't someone weak. What am I even thinking? This girl must have practiced witch magic in her childhood. She's contaminating my heart. I should get away from her as fast as possible.

I shoved the little piece of paper that I held in my hand for quite some time now and began walking away. I might have taken a step or two when my feet came to a halt. I wanted to feel a tug on my sleeves. Why was that? Did I want her to stop me? Why do I want her to do so? My head is soon gonna burst with these thoughts. As if these were not sufficient to set my mind busy, I said the strangest thing I could ever say to her, probably knowing that she already possesses a knowledge of the fact.

"This may be the last time I may see you. I'm leaving by tomorrow's flight. Good bye," Those words slipped out of my mouth. As I realised what I said, my hand slid onto my mouth. I could feel my eyes widen a little. What did I say? That was quite not the question.

The more important question was: Why did I say it?

Misaki's P.O.V.

"This maybe the last time I may see you. I'm leaving by tomorrow's flight. Good bye," I heard him say. Tell me it's a dream, a nightmare at that. What was happening? I wanted to set this guy straight but not have him flee to some other country as a refugee. I cannot let him go. He has to learn his lesson and apologise for whatever he's done to me. That's it right? I just have to grab his collar and knock some sense into his empty brain. But why is my body refusing to act? Why do I feel like it is not the reason why I want him to not leave?

I could feel the time freeze between us. We were standing with our backs facing each other yet there was a weird tension around us which neither of us knew. A gust of wind blew past us which was the only thing that made the sound.

"I don't care…" I muttered. I must have definitely lost my senses. Those words were leaving my mouth without my consent. Hope he doesn't feel bad. I just wish he would never answer me or just walk away with that smug smile of his.

"Huh?" he responded instead.

"I said I don't care!" I shouted. I clenched my fists tight. These foreign feelings are hurting me. I wasn't even hurt this bad when my dad left us.

I felt him grab onto my hand.

"What do you mean?" His voice sounded desperate.

I shut my eyes close as he grabbed me by my shoulders and shook me wanting an answer. Why was he so desperate? He's clearly no one to me, according to him ne? Wait, is he something to me? If he is, what is he?

"What are you saying? What do you mean by you don't care?" he asked again.

"If you're going to walk away from me, go ahead! Get away! Don't touch me!" I said, snapping myself out of his hold. I felt my body shake. I should get away from him before he could get away from me. It's not something I want to do. It's something I have to do to keep my composure.

Takumi's P.O.V.

I saw as she shouted at me to not touch her and get away from her. I'm losing my sanity. My body began to act on its own. Unknown to my mind, I caught her hand, grabbed her by her shoulders and began asking her questions I don't even know where they came from.

Maybe I should go to London. That's better for me and the both of us too. I'd be in one piece at least, not like not knowing what I am.

I shoved my hand into my pocket when a certain thick paper kind of thing hit my hand. I took it out of curiosity to find a photo of me and my personal maid. A smile crept onto my face when I saw the photo.

There is still one more thing I have to do….

~0~

Misaki's P.O.V.

School wasn't any better that day. The whole day I kept on thinking about that stupid idiot of a perverted alien. How easily he said he was leaving? Like there was no one who cares about him and people would be happy to know this fact? I was mentally cursing him the whole day. If I had a chance I would've broken a bone or two of his. He's lucky that only he was ever capable of beating me. However, why am I so concerned? Do I care about him?

If he's not a friend, then what is he to you? Aoi's voice popped in my mind. I shrugged my head.

Currently I was sitting in my room and thinking about random things; scratch that; it wouldn't hurt to admit once that I'm thinking about that idiot stalker of mine. Why am I even doing this? Urgh…

I sighed by smacking my head on the table. I grabbed a random book from my bag and flipped its pages. Then suddenly I caught notice of a photo which was so not supposed to be with me. It was the photo of me and that alien when he won the game at Maid Latte. I'll have to practice harder to win him…. Only if he's going to ever come back.

My eyes seemed to be half closed and I could feel them a little wet. I was not crying. I definitely was not. My eyes fell on a note along with it. This is definitely that baka's work. I'm convinced even before seeing it that it is some perverted trick of his. I'm so gonna sue him tomorrow.

"This is the last thing belonging to you with me. I'm returning this so I could keep my promise of keeping it a secret. Good bye," As I finished reading this, I crushed the paper and the poor thing had to express my wrath. It burned to ashes of my anger! How dare he say something to depress me?! I'm not depressed! I'll not be failed by such a reckless guy.

"Suzuna, I'm going to work!" I said, not even bothering if she even heard it or not. My work place is got to be the best place to calm myself and think things straight.

Normal P.O.V.

"What do you think happened to Misa-chan?" the tenchou asked the other girls. All they could see that the raven head was banging the orders on the customers' tables and shaking the customers to inside.

"I don't remember ever mentioning it to be a scary day. Even being scary should be cute but Misa-chan seems to be in a bad mood today" the tenchou said looking to her maid who was currently standing in front of the door. Her head was held down and a kind of sad smile groped her lips.

"Now that you say, I think she's depressed over something," Subaru said.

"Maybe, Takumi would know about it but where is he?!" Erika exclaimed noticing the blonde's absence.

"Never thought she bring her personal life into affecting her professional," Honoka commented, chuckling darkly.

"Honoka! She's sad. I'll do something about it." The tenchou said as she puton her best smile and went over to the raven haired mage who was standing in the centre of the hall.

"Misa-chan? We're running short of the groceries. Do you think you could get some from the market?" the chief asked with sparkles in her eyes. Misaki couldn't possibly reject her request now.

Misaki roamed around in her causal clothes, searching for some eggs. She was handed over a large list that ran down to her feet. After purchasing a few items, the next on the list was eggs. She woul'e taken them from the usual dealer but he didn't have sufficient number. So, she left in the search of perfect eggs for the dishes in their menu.

There were two things going on currently in her mind- one were the eggs and the other was a rich brat who arrogant over the last few days. Whatever might be on her mind, minding other people on the road was not on the list. So, she ended up dashing someone.

"Ouch!" she yelped. She soon got up on her feet and helped the other man to gain his balance.

"I'm truly sorry sir. I wasn't looking," she said, finding the ground interesting. Her cheeks were tainted with pink due to embarrassment.

"It's alright. Have we met?" he said, adjusting his glasses. "Ah, yes, you were the girl who brought a blonde haired guy with you weeks back right? How is he?"

"Yes and he's fine, better than all people. To add he's colder than ever…" she mumbled but the doctor caught her words.

"He must have been a warmer person ne? I know it's difficult to understand it but his disorder is to be at fault. You guys have to trust him and cope up with him till he recovers," the doctor smiled.

"Disorder?" she squeaked, unaware of this new information.

"You don't know?" he asked as he began explaining the syndrome the blonde was facing.

~0~

"It's difficult," she grunted. It's been hours since the night fell and she found it difficult to close her eyes for a few minutes. To be more precise it was 4 in early morning.

"How did I not notice? And that idiot never told me! Now he's leaving!" her eyes shot up. She remembered him saying that he was leaving this morning. She threw off her covers and changed into proper clothes. Closing the door carefully behind her, she ran to his apartment. Upon reaching there, she found out from the watchman that he left for the airport for his plane was in 1 hour.

She began running. She had to get there before it is too late. She had to give him something important…

~0~

"Takumi-sama, it's time to board your flight. It will take off in a half an hour," the bodyguard said.

The blonde nodded as his feet began carrying him to the various counters. Every once in a minute he used to turn back to steal a glance at the door, thinking a certain some would show up any moment. Was he hoping she would come? Why would she after he had tormented her so badly?

"She will not come, "he thought to himself.

His feet were carrying him further. His every step seemed a point of no return for him. He felt like he was going to miss something, rather someone deeply. What was that? Who was that?

"Takumi-sama, we'll have to board the flight," the bodyguard said, walking forward.

He was about to step forward when a hand grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"We have to talk," she said, panting.

"Was she running all the way here?" he looked at her with a blunt expression but complied, telling the bodyguard to wait. He wondered what she wanted to tell him.

~0~

"So you came all the way running here early in the morning to give me this?" he asked, a little shocked by the placing of the photograph which he returned in his hand.

"Listen! That belongs to you. You earned it and I cannot take it away from you," she scoffed, crossing her hands over her chest.

"So, does that mean I can publish it in newspapers in London?" he asked with a wide grin, earning a smack from her in return.

"Don't even think of that!" she said, before her features softening, "I'm sorry." She finally managed to say.

"What?" he asked bewildered.

"I said I'm sorry. I wasn't aware of your condition. I thought you were acting like a brat. However, I was wrong. There is nothing you could do about it. I hope you have a safe journey and reach your destination safely," she smiled.

He cocked an eyebrow.

"Is it okay with you?" he asked, not knowing where the question came from.

"W-What?! What are you saying?" she stuttered at his weird question.

"My leaving forever… is it alright if I'm leaving forever?" he asked, his face carrying a sterner expression. "I thought about it the whole night but couldn't come to conclusion if you're okay with it or not?"

"What's there to think about so much?!" she shouted, her face grew red. It was embarrassing to be asked such questions. "It's perfectly alright with me"

"Then why are you trembling?" he asked.

"What are you saying?"

"You are trembling aren't you, Prez?" he asked in a deep tone.

She sighed and smiled at him.

"I guess you caught me. I'm not totally okay with it. However, your decision is to be respected ne? Also, even if you stay here, our relation wouldn't be the same as before ne?" she said, scratching the back of her head.

"Anyways, I've got to go," she said as she ran away from her spot. She couldn't stand any longer. Despite putting up a strong face, she was shaking to the insides. She was not at all okay with it. Call the reason whatever; she had this strong urge to hug him and cry, more so to beg him not to leave. However, her pride didn't allow her to do so and she swallowed her emotions with a smile. Speeding up her muscles, she ran back to her house, her legs aching from all her early morning running.

The school seemed very different today, especially the thought that Takumi Usui was not around bothered her badly. Maybe she was also having a disorder. She smiled weakly at the others, drowned herself in work to busy herself and remove her thoughts about him. But nothing would help. At the end of the day, she sat at her desk, leaning back in a relaxing position; she reflected on his words that he said at the school festival.

"I love you, Misaki," she shot her closed eyes open as everything felt real for a moment. "Right? Everything was real. Whatever he said that day was really true… If he truly loves me… then did I….?"

She shrugged those thoughts away as she went home and returned to her job as maid at Maid Latte.

It's been three days and life was getting difficult and difficult. With her becoming a little more conscious of her feelings, she was missing him more than ever. Her feet would carry her every single day of the past three days expecting to see the smile of the blonde perverted alien but to no avail were her hopes lit.

So, today she was running to the school gates, trying to devoid herself of all hope and acknowledging the permanent absence of a certain guy she was hoping to see all these days when the opposite happens. She trips and who gets to catch her? Takumi Usui!

"W-Wha-?" She jumps away from him the moment their eyes met.

"What are you doing here?" she points a finger accusingly at him, unable to believe she fretted over such a trivial issue. She should've known he was kidding with her. He was such a big fat liar. She was mumbling curses to him when her eyes fell on the bandage on his head.

"I thought Misa-chan was missing me. So I came back to her," she heard him smile at her which soothed her worries to certain extent.

"What happened to that thick headed brat in you," she could feel his normal self-kicking in. "What's that bandage on your head?"

"Aww… Misa-chan was worried…" he said in a sing song voice, "I wanted to badly see Misa-chan after getting into the plane. Seeing the plane didn't take off yet, I stepped out forcing the air hostesses. However, I overlooked the fact that the ladder probably would've been taken and fell to the ground, hitting my head. Later when I woke up this morning, I learnt that the thick headed brat disappeared."

"So you remember everything you said and did to me?" she asked, her voice scoffing.

"Yes," he answered. "There was that best part where Misa-chan was my personal maid for a long time. I possibly cannot forget that for a long time. I'd love to have that syndrome again and again if I can keep Misa-chan as my personal maid forever."

His 'simple' comment got her blushing mad. To add spice to the wound, he smiled at her perversely, making her think he deserved a smack on his head. She really did so, not even minding the fresh wound he had.

"You twisted demented perverted alien!" she ran away to keep her sanity.

Just when she thought things were going bad, the fate took a U-turn and the opposite happened...

"I'm really sorry Misa-chan didn't get to spend very romantic moments with me. However, I promise her to make up for all the lost time" he said in an apologising tone to her. Little did she know the real torture was starting from then.

"Misa-chan wants to go to a date with me?" he bugged her in the break.

"Misa-chan, let me suggest you something" he appeared from nowhere in the council room.

"Misa-chan, I'm feeling lonely" he said, pinning her to the walls after school.

Or rather The Opposite was happening….

"Ugh… who is it at this time of night?" she yelled at the person on the other side of the phone. Whoever it was didn't do a wise thing by waking her up at midnight.

"Love you Misa," her heart skipped a beat in that moment. "Told you I'll make up for all the time I lost by declaring some silly revenge on you. Come out, I'm waiting for you. I give you ten seconds or I'll barge into your room. 10, 9, 8…"

With this her other torture began….

"Oh, why did he even get his memory back?..." she thought, hurrying to dress herself by the time he reached 1. Life really wasn't easy as she thought once he's normal. It's rather the opposite of easy… Difficult!

"1! I'm coming in!" she heard a shout.

"I'm done! I'm coming out!" What will she do with this guy?

Well, this is not the best ending I know. However, this is the best I could come up with. Gomen for disappointing you if you're not happy with this chapter. This pretty much concludes this story.
