Misaki woke up later that morning and looked at her clock "7am... great I better get ready..." Misaki got out of bed and walked into the bathroom and began getting washed when her phone rang. She spat out the tooth paste that was in her mouth then answered the phone "hello..."

"hello Misaki.."

"oh hi Phil"

"I was calling to see if Usui was any better?"

"um..." Misaki blushed at the thought of Takumi "yeah... he's a lot better... we will both be coming in today.."

"GREAT! its been a while.."

"haha its been 2 days Phil..."

"that's still a long time if you think about it..."

"yeah... well I must be going I have to get ready then I will be on my way"

"ok... ill see you in a bit.."

"bye..."

"bye.."

Misaki ended the phone call and sighed as she continued getting ready. She looked around her bathroom and saw a picture of her and Shizuko and became really upset as tears came to her eyes.

flash back...

"MISAKI!" Sakura ran towards Misaki and wrapped her arms around her and Shizuko walked up to them while reading a book

"hello Misaki..."

"hi..." Misaki slowly pushed Sakura away

"MISAKI DONT LEAVE!" Sakura said as tears fell down her face

"Sakura... im only going to New York for a few month... Ill be back soon..."

"Misaki there will not be a day we will stop thinking of you..." Misaki's mother said as she wrapped her arms around Misaki

"and I wont go a day where I wont think of you either..." Misaki said as she returned the hug

"Sis..."

"what is it Suzuna?"

"can I enter contests with your name while your gone..?"

"sure... Just don't put everything in my room..."

"don't worry... Ill move everything out for you returning.." Suzuna said totally ignoring what Misaki just said

"fine..." Misaki replied with a sigh. She looked out the window and saw people boarding the plane "I Must be going... or I will miss my flight..." Everyone started hugging Misaki except Shizuko

"WE WILL MISS YOU MISAKI!" they all shouted. Misaki smiled

"ill miss you all too!" Misaki said as she managed to escape the crowd of family and friends. Shizuko walked up to her and smiled

"I suppose one hug wont hurt..." She said. Shizuko didn't like hugs but she thought since Misaki was leaving she should give her one. Misaki hugged her

"please make sure everyone stays safe..." Misaki whispered to her

"I will... you stay safe too..." She replied as she pulled away

"I will..." Misaki looked at everyone "well... this is it! see you all in a few month..." Everyone looked like they were going to cry as Misaki waved then walked to her plane

"BYE!" They all shouted and waved. They watched her plane fly away as they all began to cry..

Tears fell down Misaki's face as she remembered that day. She whipped away those tears and slapped her self in the face "pull your self together Misaki!" she said to her self as she walked out the bathroom and looked at the clock "goodness im going to be late!" Misaki ran out her room and ran straight into someone "sorr- wait? oh its you..."

"good morning to you too Misaki..." Takumi said Misaki began to blush as she remembered what had happened early that morning. Takumi smiled

"shut up..." Misaki said in a snappy tone. Takumi pinned her to the wall

"Misaki... why were you crying..."

"I... I wasn't..."

"don't lie... I know you were..."

"GET OFF ME!" Misaki shouted as she pushed him away. He looked at her

"fine... lets go... we're going to be late.."

"yeah..." Misaki was still blushing as she walked with Takumi and they went to Seika. They arrived about 20 minutes later and Phil ran out the building

"MISAKIIII! USUI!" He shouted hugging them both... He reminded Misaki of Sakura

"haha hi Phil..." Misaki said

"yo..." Takumi also said as he pushed Phil away.

"come on... the performance is 2 days away! you need to practice!"

"oh god I forgot about that..." Misaki said

"hurry up Misaki..." Takumi said as him and Phil were already going to the lift

"c...coming..." Misaki said as she ran to catch up. Suddenly, Misaki's heel snapped and she began to fall.

"Misaki!" Takumi yelled as he went and grabbed her arm and pulled her onto him. Misaki fell onto Takumi and he looked at her "are you ok?"

"..." Misaki was blushing really hard and couldn't speak as everyone was looking over

"Misaki are you ok?" Takumi's voice suddenly became worried and caring

"m...my ankle..." Misaki and Takumi looked at her ankle and saw it was becoming swollen and bruised Takumi sighed as he stood up then picked Misaki up bridal style "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PUT ME DOWN!"

"what and your going to walk upstairs with an ankle like that?"

"..."

"exactly my point..." Takumi smirked as Misaki blushed

"can you at least carry me on your back?"

"fine..." Takumi placed Misaki on the table then crouched down and pulled her onto his back "better?"

"yes..."

"come on love birds we have to practice..." Phil said as he pressed the button for the lift he then walked to the stairs and opened the door leading to them

"we aren't love birds Phil..." Misaki said as she sighed "are you not taking the lift?"

"n..no..."

"really? why not?"

"I have a slight phobia of them..."

"oh.. I see... sorry...

"its ok! ill meet you two upstairs!" Phil said as he walked through the doorway leading to the stairs and closed the door behind him

Takumi smirked "maybe the lift will stop while we are in it..."

"don't be stupid..." They entered the lift and Misaki pressed the button to the top floor and then they waited. Misaki sighed

About 10 seconds later the lift came to a sudden sop and the lights went out

"um... Usui..."

"y..yes Misaki...?"

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE LIFT?!"

"nothing..."

"DONT LIE! YOU KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN DIDNT YOU?!"

"lower your voice Misaki..."

'please accept our sincere apologise... we will turn on an emergency light so you can still see... the lift will be up and running again in about 5 minutes...please remain calm and don't move around to much... thank you..'

The emergency light turned on and Misaki sighed "well... at least we can see..."

"yeah... do you want me to put you down for a bit?"

"sure... but I cant really stand..."

"its ok... I have an idea." Takumi carefully place Misaki down gently and then quickly sat on the floor and pulled Misaki onto his lap "there..." Misaki began to blush but she knew if she moved away she would just hurt her ankle so she stayed still. Takumi smiled as Misaki placed her head on his chest. That made Misaki blush even more

Misaki began to think to her self 'whats with me... I feel so happy and relaxed right now... My heart is pounding really fast but I like it... I feel a sudden warmth and I feel like I-'

"could just lay here for ages?" Takumi said with a smirk Misaki shot her head up and looked at Takumi

"what the hell? Why are you reading my mind?" He smiled

"im not... I was thinking the same thing..."

"well... don't say it out loud then..." Misaki said as she turned away. Takumi smiled

"I can feel your heart beating really fast... why is that may I ask?"

"because im trapped in lift with a pervert.." Takumi smiled

"but that wouldn't make your heart race would it..."

"shut up..." Misaki replied in a quiet yet snappy tone

"is it because your scared of something?"

"no... why would you say that?"

"you could have been Claustrophobic..."

"well im not!"

"is it because your having a heart attack?"

"no... if I was I would be in pain idiot..."

"is it because your in love with me?"

"..."

"well?"

"I..."

"well...?"

"I don't know..."

"did you know at times like this you always lie?"

"I don't lie!"

"are you enduring all this right now?" Misaki's eyes opened wide "sorry... I crossed the line..."

"ye... ive been enduring..." Takumi's eye opened wide "I mean... you've caused me so much confusion I don't know what I feel anymore..."

"Misaki..."

"every time your with me my heart races and when you leave I feel so lonely.."

"misa-"

"I hate you... so much... but you then make me believe other wise..."

"Misaki slow down.."

"You piss me off and tease me... then you leave... You always seem to appear when I need you most and it confuses me so much..."

"Misa-"

"At times like this... I feel like your enduring too an that just pisses me off even more... I've wanted to be with you for a long time now.. I just realised it my self a while ago... but I don't care!"

"what are you talking about"

"USUI I LOVE YOU!" Misaki was blushing like mad and Usui's eyes opened wide and he also blushed a little. Suddenly the lift started to move again and the lights turned back on

'sorry for the wait... please don't worry the lift has now continued its journey...'

They finally arrived at the top floor and Misaki pretty much ran out of the lift blushing but of course with a limp

"so all that wait and we were only 1 floor away... what a shame..." Takumi said with a smirk Misaki turned around and glared at Takumi

"you gotta be kidding me?!" Takumi laughed a little
