Chapter 11

"Now I don't know which is more disappointing. The fact that my daughter is kissing someone or that someone is actually my son." Mom started.

This is not how I expected my birthday to turn out. After the little stunt that Usui and I pulled, we were both sent to our rooms like little kids. I was blushing so hard from the roots of my hair down to my toes. I took a quick glance at Usui who was being nonchalant and didn't seem affected by our mom's snarling nose.

Dad was sent to talk to him while I got my raging mother.

"It's not how it looks like—"

"Enough. I cannot believe you Misaki. Of all the guys, it had to be your brother." She said, quickly cutting me off.

"We're not even blood-related." I mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing." I said, looking away. I heard my mother sigh and sit beside me. She held my hands tightly.

"Look, I wouldn't worry if you fall for someone like Takumi. I would understand, but this is your brother we're talking about. What would people say?" she explained.

"I know. I've thought about that. But mom I think I ..." my voice trailed off but I forced myself to continue. "... love him. Not love as a brother. But... I mean like a..." my face felt warm again. I can't believe I'm saying this to my mother.

I heard her sigh and squeeze my hand. "You know people will talk right?"

"I understand that. But maybe if we just... I don't know, keep it a secret then maybe things will be okay." I said hopefully.

"But that's not the only thing Misaki." I looked at her squarely.

"Why? Is there something else?"

"It would do you no good if you fall for him." She said with serious eyes.

"Wha-what are talking about?" she suddenly stood up and walked away. "Mom wait!" she stopped by the door and looked at me with that same look.

"Just do as I say so you won't get in trouble." After making herself clear, she closed the door behind her.

I was left in my room just two hours before midnight. The maids have told my friends that I won't be able to see them off because I was tired. A story made up by my ever wise mother. Since there was no point in wearing the tight dress, I quickly stripped it off and changed to my pyjamas.

My mother's words kept replaying in my head like a broken record. Actually, the siblings thing was just my excuse so my feelings won't take over me but when I think about it, it's not much of an issue at all. I thought of the consequences that might befall me and my family if ever I were to fall in love with Usui. Aside from the rumour spreading around town, it wouldn't give that much damage. But then why?

Why was my mother so worried? Didn't he trust Usui? I mean yeah he's a pervert, annoying and stubborn but instead of giving me trouble; it's the other way around. To be honest, he's been helping me more than troubling me. But of course, I wouldn't admit that to Usui.

I drifted to sleep while thinking about all that happened that night.

Morning came and I didn't feel like getting up at all. My dress was still lying on the floor and my room was dimly lit. The curtains were drawn covering me from the bright light outside. I lazily got up and went to the bathroom stumbling along the way. I went downstairs to find everyone busy cleaning things up from last night. Mom was already up instructing the maids about tidying the place. I was about to greet her but then I remembered what she said last night. Instead, I crept behind her and walked carefully outside the house.

It was a normal Sunday but it didn't feel normal to me at all. Everything was a mess and I can't piece everything up. Did I make a mistake? Was it really wrong to kiss Usui? Was it wrong to feel something for him? I just don't know.

I didn't notice that I was already three blocks away from the house. But since I'm already out, might as well continue walking. I aimlessly strolled past houses and cars. I didn't know where I was heading. My mind was full of things I can't understand. I needed to talk to Usui. But where was he? I didn't see him at the house. Did dad tell him to stay away from me? I felt a pang in my chest at the thought. I can't picture him keeping a distance from me. My hand slowly tapped the ring hanging on the necklace Usui gave me last night. The feel of his touch was still embedded on my skin as it grazed it when he tied the piece of jewellery around my neck.

I broke into a sprint toward a little playground and sat on one of the swings to keep my breathing steady. I have to talk to Usui. We have to clear things out. I can't keep living in the same house as him knowing full well of what is going on between us.

I suddenly heard faint voices just outside the playground. It sounded familiar so I went to check it out. I crouched behind one of the bushes and peeked a little. Two guys were in a serious conversation but I couldn't see their faces. One more move and they'll notice me. So I settled for listening instead.

"So I take it you're mad?" one guy said.

"Very." Another replied. His voice was tense like he was restraining himself from choking the other person. I knew that voice very well. Usui. But why was he talking to Tora?

"It was her that invited me."

"Well then you should've said no." He snapped back.

"I couldn't refuse and invitation like that especially from a beautiful girl such as your sister." They're talking about me.

"Now you listen to me. We had an agreement—"

"And an agreement I shall keep. Like I said, I keep my word." I could almost picture Tora smirking at him. I heard a car door close and an engine start. One of them must have left. I quickly returned home hoping to see Usui there.

I arrived home, soaking wet from the rain. I was just a few blocks away when heavy drops of water poured from the sky drenching my jacket, shirt, jeans down to my socks and shoes. My mother who opened the door for me just stared like my hair was on fire.

"I-I was out." I simply said. I walked toward my room, my shoes making a squishing sound every time I took a step. I sighed as I closed my bedroom door behind me. I absentmindedly took off my jacket not knowing that someone was inside my room.

"Nice outfit." I jumped at the sound of his voice.

"What are you doing here? This is my room! Get out!" I whispered loudly, hoping my mother didn't hear.

"Can I stay here while you change?" I glared and threw a pencil at him. It was the closest thing next to me.

"Certainly not!" I marched toward the bathroom and securely locked it. My heart started to beat fast again. He should really get out. If mom finds out he's here, worse things could happen.

"Misaki?" I faced the door separating us. It's a glass door with a mosaic design so I can still see his contorted figure from the inside.

"Y-yeah?" I took a deep breath and pretended to be annoyed. "W-why are you still here?"

He suddenly pressed his hand against the door and for a moment I wanted to hold them. Those strong hands and always catch me when I fall, those same hands that comfort me and hold me safely in his arms.

I idly opened the door, forgetting that I was still clad in wet clothes that hugged my body tightly. I looked up and our eyes locked. I should've looked away but I didn't. I didn't want to. He lowered his face and his lips found mine. I should've pushed him away but I didn't. Instead I kissed him back. I didn't care that I was getting his clothes soaked and that I looked like a mess. Everything seemed to feel like nothing to me every time he kisses me. And it feels good to just forget that we're in this situation, that our parents would never agree to this, that to everyone—we're siblings.

He backed me up against the wall and closed the bathroom door behind us. His tongue gently grazed my lips and with no hesitation I parted them. I let him explore my mouth as his hands roamed my back. I put my arms around his neck and pulled his head closer. He caught the hem of my shirt and slipped his hand beneath it. I knew where this would lead us. But all train of thought left my mind when his lips went to my jaw, trailing kisses down to my neck. I sighed and felt my face grow warm again by my sudden reaction.

"W-wait..." I stammered as I weakly pushed him.

"Hmmm..."

"Wait, stop." He stopped kissing me. Although a tiny little voice in my mind said to keep going, I knew we had to stop. He looked at me with a questioned look but then his eyes softened.

"Sorry." I rubbed my hands on my arms and looked away. "You should change."

"A-alright." He left and closed the door behind him. But I doubt he left my room.

I quickly changed into fresh and dry clothes and wiped my hair. I stepped outside the bathroom and found Usui looking through some of my photographs when I was still little. He looked behind him and smiled at me.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it." He said as he flipped another page. I stood beside him.

"It's fine." I muttered.

"It's sad how I wasn't able to see you grow. I would've wanted to be with you in these pictures."

"Well, you had to leave." I said, almost like a whisper.

"I wonder why..." My eyes darted from the album to him. He looked sad and curious. "I wonder why mom and dad never opposed to the idea of me leaving. They didn't even hesitate when they knew my grandmother wanted me in England."

I raised my eyebrows at him. Now that I think about it, mom did warn me that it would be a bad idea if I fall for Usui.

"What did dad tell you last night?"

"He told me to be careful or one mistake could change a lot of things." He said bluntly.

"That's it?"

"Yeah, we both know dad's not a guy for words."

I put my hand to my chin. Are mom and dad hiding something from us? Does it involve Usui? I look up and see him staring at me. His eyebrows are pushed together creating creases in the middle. He looked worried.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing, I just..." I didn't want to tell him about what mom told me last night so I diverted the topic instead. "I heard you and Tora talking a while ago. Near the playground." I winced as soon as the words came out. Not a good topic to divert to.

"You were eavesdropping again?" he said as he walked toward my bed.

"Well... I just overheard you talking. I was fairly close so I couldn't help but listen."

He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"So that was your agreement huh? You wanted Tora away from me." I went to face him. "Why?"

"It's complicated."

"Then uncomplicate it." I demanded. I crossed my arms across my chest and stood my ground. I'm not letting him go this time.

Usui sighed again. "Alright." He sat down on my bed and continued. "He was purposely trying to get close to you to piss me off. It worked. I didn't like it that you seemed oblivious to his motives and wouldn't mind having him around so I made a deal with him. I told him that if I did what he asks me, he'll leave you alone."

"And that is?"

"He just wants me in his business. He's trying to bring it back from its grave."

I raised an eyebrow. "That's it? Why didn't you say yes in the first place?"

"There was something odd about his business. I couldn't find records or any kind of history about it. He told me that he's starting from scratch so everything's scrapped but I don't believe him." He pauses.

"But what if it goes bad? You'll get involved."

"Don't worry about me. I can handle it." He smiled. I can't help but giggle. "What is it?"

"It's just that you went through all that just to keep one guy away from me." I laughed again.

Usui pouted. He took two large strides and in a blink of an eye we were five inches close. I gulped.

"Perverted aliens can get jealous too you know." He said. His emerald eyes growing dark.

"S-stop saying weird stuff. Idiot Usui." I mumbled. I can tell my face is red because of the smirk plastered on his face.

His hands slipped around my waist as he kissed me. And I knew right then that Usui would do anything for me not because I'm his sister. But because he loves me.
