A/N: Thank you for your reviews everyone, and yeah, it's Satsuki. Thanx for correcting that :)

This fic is for MaidSamaFanGirl, who came up with it. I made it from 'impressing the parents' to 'impressing the father' since his mother didn't really have a role and she seemed content with Misa in it's previous fic (The Date) and Mr. Walker was the one who was pissed at Misa and all…so yeah.

Hope you enjoy.

P.S. This takes place in Miyabigaoka. I'm not sure whether I mentioned it or not in the story, so I just wanna make sure ^^

Poison (Misaki's POV)

"So, we meet again" Mr. Walker smiled. I could see he didn't mean anything by that smile- actually, he looked ready to bite me, which wouldn't be surprising considering I had shouted at him about how pathetic he was the first and last time we'd met.

We were at this really absurd meeting Tora Igarashi had initiated. He'd wanted me to come as President of Seika High…but what was Mr. Walker doing here? This was supposed to be a meeting of all the representatives of different schools around the town, right? We'd held a joint session so we could decide and probably do some functions or host some games- stuff like that.

This didn't seem a meeting to me in the first place, more like a business party. People were drinking wine and discussing quietly- the men wore suits and women were in gowns- well, except for me.

How was I supposed to know we'd be having a party at a large banquet hall that had its' own mini-bar; and not a meeting in a small Student Council Room…?

There were more than a hundred people out here!

"You represent that delinquent school, don't you?" Mr. Walker asked, beckoning me to sit next to him in the bar sort of place. He took a sip of his drink, then said something to the 'bartender', who nodded and took his drink away.

"Aah…Ayuzawa Misaki. You came" smiled Tora Igarashi, coming over to us.

Those eyes…Even his smirk was maddening…

But, it was my fault, I shouldn't have come here in the first place.

"Where's you partner…?" Tora asked me innocently "Mr. Walker here is one of our major sponsors- I thought Takumi Walker would be here."

So this was why Mr. Walker was here? Apparently he was some sponsor of Miyabigaoka.

"Takumi Usui is not-" I began when Mr. Walker interrupted me and said, smirking "My son will be arriving shortly."

I stared at him. Usui was coming? Why was- this was a President's Joint Session, for God's sake!

"Misaki Ayuzawa is here as the Council President of Seika High." Tora smiled "Of course, after seeing our agendas, hopefully she'll agree transferring schools. She'll not be charged- she'll be on full scholarship, obviously."

I gritted my teeth "Never…" I said.

"I would send in Takumi to keep you company" smirked Mr. Walker. He basically wanted me to transfer to Miyabigaoka so that Usui'd automatically agree to transfer schools to be with me..? What a sick man.

The bartender returned with Mr. Walkers' drink and put it on the counter. I was still glaring at Mr. Walker, but out of the corner of my eyes, I could watch the bartender who was just behind the counter, out of Mr. Walker's sight.

Then the bartender did the strangest thing. He took out a small packet, cut it and poured a white powder in the drink.

My eyes shot at him….what the heck was he doing?

He looked taken aback at me and threw the empty packet away. And then, he turned the drink to mix the white stuff in it with it's stirrer and made to serve Mr. Walker!

Wait- what- what had he done just then…? What had he mixed?

…Could it possibly be poison…?

The bartender handed the drink to Mr. Walker..

How absurd..this couldn't be poison, yeah sure Mr. Walker was a renowned businessman..one of the World's Top 10 Richest Men…okay…he must have enemies…But who in Miyabigaoka would want to kill him? Tora..? No way, Mr. Walker was their school's sponsor..

Mr. Walker smiled and took it…

Maybe I was getting paranoid…yeah, maybe it was just a medication, Mr. Walker must have told the bartender to add it…but why didn't he add it himself..? Okay, stop thinking, Misaki. It's nothing- stop thinking-

He brought the glass to his lips…

But what if it is poison..? Just in case…? It can't- He can't- No! Wait!

"Don't drink that!" I yelled, and threw the glass out of his grip. It was like as if everything was on slow motion. The glass flew in the air, the drink splashing onto Tora Igarashi's suit- the glass shattered on the floor with an ear-splitting crash.

I stood there, my arm outstretched as everyone in the hall stared at me.

"What is wrong with you?" Mr. Walker hissed.

"It's- that drink's poisoned- I saw that guy mix some white- some-" I panted. I couldn't make track of things. Igarashi threw off his drenched coat, teeth gritted, glaring at me.

"That was sugar. Powdered sugar." Mr. Walker said out loud as if he wanted everyone to hear. And, well, all of the 152 people in the hall had eyes and ears only for me. It was so silent, and I felt myself going red as I looked down "That was lemonade. I don't drink alcohol, for your information, Misaki Ayuzawa. I told the guy to add some more sugar." He said in a loud growl.

Every word felt like a stab. I had made a fool of myself in front of not only him but the presidents of possibly the whole school in this city, especially Tora Igarashi…

I've never been so humiliated in my life before. I slowly started walking backwards..and then ran out of the hall for the restrooms.

On my way out, I crashed into a blonde guy.

"M-Misaki…?" It was Usui.

But I paid no heed and hurried out.

The rest of the meeting was disastrous but with Usui, I found everything surprisingly…tolerable. I hadn't been more thankful to him for being there- even if I would die than admit it.

He was the only one who talked to me probably without adding any jibes and made my presence known in the meeting (which we finally held). But the strange thing was that I caught Mr. Walker sending me looks throughout the day.

It wasn't until everything was over and Usui and I were heading home when Mr. Walker appeared.

He cleared his throat.

"Miss- Ayuzawa" he said quietly.

I felt the color rush upto my face once again. What did he have to say to me now?"

"Yes?"

Usui was quiet, but I knew he was waiting for Mr. Walker to dare throw in an insult to have a go at him.

Mr. Walker's next words astonished me.

"Thankyou" he said hoarsely.

I was caught completely off guard.

"H-huh?"

"I got angry with you for spilling my drink- but now that I think of it- if my drink had actually been poisoned, I would be leaving dead now if not for your impulsive act." He said hastily, but then sent an awkward smile- it looked like a cross between a grimace and trying to look grateful, then looked at Usui "Takumi, I'll give you a lift back home…"

"No thanks, I'd rather go with my girlfriend" he said stiffly.

Mr. Walker scowled, and sent me a mild irritated look. Not like he was disgusted with me….but as if he was still trying to understand who and how I was.

I smirked at him. He smiled uneasily, looking at me like I was the weird one. Well, maybe I was. But I can only be myself, right?

And then he left back to the entry gate of Miyabigaoka where his car stood waiting for him.

Usui and I were alone again. I was kind of exhausted and irritated with the day's events and leaned against his shoulder catching hold of his arm. I was sleepy, ok?

He smirked down at me "Being affectionate, are we?"

"Shut up" I muttered. I was just tired. It had nothing to do with how I wanted to be close to him. Even if he smelt nice. Really nice.

His arm slithered around my waist, but I slapped it away.

"Don't even try it" I said, my eyes narrowed.

He chuckled, and looked in front of him "You really are a noble person- saving someone who hates you."

"I didn't save him."

"It's not your fault the drink wasn't poisoned."

I looked at him "What do you mean!"

He laughed "Nothing. He seemed grateful though."

"Well, I would be. If the drink had been poisoned, obviously."

"Wanna try it?"

"No!"

Mr. Walker didn't hate me. Particularly anyway.

I think I could live with that.

A/N: I made so many damn changes in this fic before I finally seemed satisfied.

I think.

Gah- whatever.

So tell me how it was everyone, and you too, MaidSamaFanGirl! I'm open to any ideas.

And thankyou for everyone who have added this story to their faves or alerts, I'm truly grateful! :D
Thankyou for tuning-in! J

Afscheid!
