A/N: You guys wanted a quick update? You guys got yourselves one!

This chapter is dedicated to Misa-Chan46 (Gambatte! And Good Luck!) , for the awesome title, and xXxDreamwindxXx for being my muse and helping me decide things in general…and for picking the song. You rock!

Now, I know that Misa-chan46 wasn't the first reviewer, and the reason I am using her word is because the first reviewer was taking a little while, and I wanted to update today, because I have to study for a math's test tomorrow, and then I probably won't be able to update for a week, so sorry!

So pretty much what happened was this, I grabbed all the 'L' suggestions, and got one of my friends to randomly pick one. I got Last Dance, and I have to say… I like it =D So I'mma run with it. But since MysticTwirl WAS the first reviewer, please PM me, and I'll write you a one-shot, with a fandom and a pairing of your choice. If you're not sure if I know the fandom, just ask. And I'll write pretty much any pairing (Unless it's something like Misa (Death Note) x ANYONE, because I hate her guts.) Put in genre and any other details you'd like too! And just out of curiousity, send me your 'L' word too!

Disclaimer: I don't know what Misaki means. Does that suffice as a disclaimer?

Onto the story! (It's sorta from Misaki's POV by the way, but kinda third person at the same time? Not sure how to phrase this… just read?)(Oh! Also, just for this story, let's just pretend that everyone in Japan understands English songs, mm`kay?)

~L Is For Last Dance~

Chapter Summary: This was really it. This was really the last day she'd see him. Really the last time they'd talk. Really the last time they'd meet. This was really…it.

~L Is For Last Dance~

There was much commotion at Seika High today. Why you ask? Only because some perverted-outer-space-alien was leaving the country. Yeah, that one.

Misaki sighed, sitting back in her chair at its place behind her desk. The council room was empty, everyone else had left to go to the impromptu 'Going Away Party' Usui's class mates were holding for him after school, after his announcement yesterday.

What announcement? Oh, just his announcement at the end of the day, saying that he'd be leaving to go to live in America the next day. Yeah, that one.

Misaki closed her eyes as she felt another sigh escape her lips. America huh? That was a long way away from Japan…not to mention everyone spoke a completely different language to Japanese… Misaki herself, head of the class, could not completely understand and speak English as well as Usui could. But then again, he was born into an English-speaking family, so it was only natural he knew how to speak English fluently…

Yet another sigh left her lips, and she moved her hands to cover her closed eyes.

'What's wrong with me?' she questioned herself, 'Why does something feel so…wrong?' Opening her eyes, Misaki spread her fingers out, admiring how the sunlight shined through the window and her hand.

'Why do I feel like I'm about to cry?'

And then the light shining through her hands shone no more, as if covered by a shadow, and then it was gone again and the light once more shone through.

'What th…!' Misaki's thought was cut short, as a pair of long, elegant fingers twined themselves with her own.

"Hey,"

Misaki felt her breath stop short at the sound of that one word.

"Usui?" She questioned, blinking rapidly, she sat up, to see him kneeling beside her chair, carefully holding her hands in his, smiling up at her.

"Wh..what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the party…?" Misaki asked quickly spinning to turn towards him, as she felt a blush creep onto her cheeks.

'Why do I always blush around him?'

"I was there…but then I left," he shrugged nonchalantly as her gaze turned shocked.

"Why?" she whispered.

"To spend my last moments in Japan with you of course," he replied simply, his gaze never leaving hers.

"What? B..but…why would you do that?" Misaki's cheeks felt as if they were on fire, but she couldn't help but continue staring into his deep, brown, hypnotic eyes.

Ignoring her question, he squeezed her hands softly, and instead asked;

"Will you grant me one last wish?" His eyes smoldered into hers, and she felt her breath catch.

"I…I g..guess so…" she blushed, but found herself unable to look away from his eyes.

"Dance with me," he stood up and held his hand out to her. "Let me have this last dance,"

Misaki's eyes widened at his words, he wanted to dance? With her? Well…she had to admit the idea was somewhat appealing…

Nodding dumbly, Misaki stood up, gently placing her hand in his.

Usui took his phone out and pressed a button with a smile, putting it down on her desk, before leading her to the free space between her desk and the window.

A catchy guitar riff she'd heard before started playing from the phone as they positioned themselves.

Misaki felt as if under a spell, finding herself standing before the window and Usui, as she felt an arm slide around her waist.

Blushingly, she placed her other hand his shoulder.

And then they began to sway in time to the music.

Like a gift from the heavens
It was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell

The sunset was shining across them, highlighting his face, making his eyes shine. Misaki felt entrapped in his chocolate orbs, until he spun her.

She had fire in her soul
It was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me

Misaki felt a laugh escape her at the line, and heard Usui chuckle in front of her. Fire in her soul? That was her alright.

There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands and we sang

More beats joined into the song, and in the back of her mind, Misaki could of sworn she heard somebody clapping in time to the beats.

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angles sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And we danced on into the night

Looking up at Usui, she saw the gentle smile on his face, and couldn't help but be swept away into the faraway land called his eyes once more.

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angels sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And we danced on into the night

Usui tightened his arm around her, so close now that he had to look down to look into her eyes. Misaki could hear his heart racing beneath his chest…or was that hers that she could here?

And we danced on into the night

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces

Right then, right at this moment, with Usui holding her in her arms, Misaki felt content. None of the unease from just moments ago was there anymore. It was just her, Usui, and the music.

We was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes
No room left to move in between you and I

With an expert flick of his wrists, Usui had Misaki turn in a quick, rapid double turn, and she found herself in the same position they'd been in before, her hand on his shoulder, and his arm holding her close, within mere moments.

We forgot where we were and we lost track of time
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night

The thought of time hadn't even occurred to Misaki the whole time they were dancing. What was time? Who cares anyway? As long as she could feel his warmth surrounding her body…

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angels sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And we danced on into the night

The hand holding onto hers slipped down her arm and snaked around her waist. Misaki's arms instinctively went around his neck.

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angles sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And we danced on into the night

Misaki buried her head into his shoulder, their feet never stopping, and inhaled deeply. It smelt kinda sweet…yet somewhat musky…and kind of spicy at the same time too…it really just smelt like…well, him.

Like a gift from the heavens
It was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell

Misaki lifted her head and looked into his eyes. He smiled before dipping her torso in a semi-circle, so that they were still joined at the hip. The arms she had around his neck securing her, and the arms around her bringing her back up close to him.

She had fire in her soul
It was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me

Usui lowered his head, and started whispering the words into her ear along with the song. Misaki felt herself giggle softly and join in.

There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands and we sang

Not only could Misaki hear Usui's soft, deep, voice singing next to her ear…she could feel it, like a soothing hum that reverberated in his chest…it felt so…nice.

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angles sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And we danced on into the night

Usui grabbed her hands and spun her a few times more, before setting her hands around his neck and holding onto her waist again, a smile on his features as Misaki laughed at his tactics.

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angles sang, singing
A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And we danced on into the night

Their gazes locked again as the beat slowed down, and they slowed down as well.

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a
And the voices rang like the angels sang, singing

They stopped moving all together…and Usui brought his hand to her cheek, their eyes never once leaving eachothers.

A-yo-a-yo-a-yo-a

Usui leaned down slowly, his face now right in front of her.

yo-a-yo-a-yo-a

Misaki felt her eyes flutter close.

yo-a-yo-a-yo-a

Misaki felt a soft, gentle, kiss placed on her forehead, and felt herself melt into his embrace as he hugged her.

And we danced on into the night

With a twang of the guitar…the song was over. But they didn't move an inch, enjoying the feeling of just being together for a moment more.

"Until next time…my Misaki…" And with another kiss to her forehead, he was gone.

Misaki slowly opened her eyes, as if waking up from a dream, and gently placed a hand on her head, where he'd kissed her.

'I…I think I'm going to…miss…him…' Misaki felt as if a piece of her heart had just been ripped out, and closed her fists tighter…

'Huh? What's this…' Misaki opened her closed hand to find a small package. Opening it, she gasped.

It was a silver necklace, with a deep, emerald green dew-drop pendant. Simple yet elegant…

'Just like him,' Misaki thought with a smile. Turning it around in her hands.

Misaki gasped when it caught the light.

Inside the stone, was a little, heart shaped crystal.

Tearing her eyes away from the necklace, she looked at the wrapping, finding that it was actually a carefully folded copy of the picture that Usui had taken on their 'date'. The one with him kissing her forehead.

Misaki blushed at the memory, before realizing that there was white writing on top of the photo.

Curious, she began to read;

My Dearest Misaki,

Just remember that no matter where I am, no matter where you are, you will always have a special place in my heart. Please wear the necklace I gave you, consider it a promise. A promise that we will meet again someday, and that no matter what happens, I will always come back and get you. No matter what anyone else says or does.

I Love You,

Yours truly, Usui Takumi

Misaki felt a tear slide down her face, even as she was smiling. Slipping on the necklace, Misaki carefully folded the photo back up, silently vowing to herself that she'd never forget him, this day, or this moment.
