I DON'T OWN MAID SAMA, JUST KUROSAKI AND SHION!
Many days have passed since Kurosaki and I last made eye contact. He is still very upset, he was no longer vibrant and happy go lucky. I had destroyed him and I didn't feel as bad as he did. I want to rush up to him, hug him and get on the floor and apologise yet, why was I so scared? Why was I shaking and trembling whenever I saw him? I had to do something, but I was too afraid I might hurt him further.
I was walking down the corridor, deep in thought when I suddenly bumped into someone, immediately I responded with a bow, "I'm sorry for not watching where I'm going." I looked up to see a black haired Usui, except his face was cold like ice unlike Usui's mischievous grin. "Tsk." He half glared at me and walked off. The F*** is his problem? I thought as I walked off, then out from the Council Room came the normal blonde hair Usui as he smiled at me and closed the door half way through Misaki's rant.
"Hey Usui? Do you know anyone with black hair and looks like you?" Usui tensed and I knew I hit a bad topic, "Actually never mind!" I tried to brush it off but Usui replied anyway, "Yes, he's someone I know but not very well…" and with that Usui walked off.
"SHION-CHAN~" Maria sensei jumped onto me, rubbing against my cheek with her face. Oh, I haven't mentioned Maria sensei yet have I? A couple of weeks ago, she came to Seika to replace one of our teachers and Misaki and I have to protect her from the lustful dogs called boys. (SORRY IF THIS OFFENDED ANYONE!) She was a very attractive woman, with curves in the right places but the only problem was that she was incredibly short, like a beautiful blonde elf. Another problem is that unfortunately Maria Sensei is a lesbian. She is Usui's distant relative and a real handful.
"Maria Sensei, please stop jumping on me, you're going to give me a heart attack and broken bones," I said sighing as she pouted and got off my back.
"You're no fun, but I can't help it! You're so cute and I want to do **** and ***** oh and maybe *****" I sweat dropped as she listed and thought aloud what she wanted to do with me, alone and undisturbed. Usui showed up and pushed her away as he threw me over his shoulder and ran, leaving the shocked Maria Sensei to run on her heels and then fall over, face planting onto the tiled floor.
"Thanks Usui, again!" he put me down at the pool, "Jeez, she's such a pain. Sorry to ask you this but have you made up yet?"
He went all serious as I sighed and looked down at my feet.
"No, I'm afraid that if I approach him and say something stupid like I always do, I might end up hurting him even more, this is why I didn't want to be in a relationship in the first place but I guess I couldn't help it…"
I began to sob as Usui pulled me close, "I understand how you feel. Sometimes I want to apologise and talk to Misaki at times like this but I might hurt her and she'll hate me," Usui was so warm, and comforting.
"She would never hate you, anyway, thanks for the comforting words Usui, let's continue to help each other in this messed up love of ours!" I held out my pinky as he crossed it with his, "Yeah."
Kurosaki happened to walk by as he saw that happen and turned and walked away, I chased him, "Kurosaki! Please wait! I'm sorry! Please let me explain!" I caught up and grabbed his arm as I held tight and collapsed on the floor, huffing and puffing, tears running down my face.
"I didn't mean for this to happen, I had a debt to pay off with Tora but I didn't know that would happen! Please believe me!" I sobbed as he just stood there and didn't face me.
"That's not what I'm upset about, Shion!" he shouted at me, grabbing my collar and lifting it up, "I'm pissed that you won't ask me for any help! I'm your boyfriend! I can help but you leave me out and ask for Usui's help instead. You hurt me Shion and it hurt so bad, it felt like you tore out my heart and threw it away!"
He was also crying, I could only sit there as his tears fell on his face, "Kurosaki…I…I didn't know," I sobbed as he threw me to the ground and walked off, before he left he said some words that tore at me and crushed my heart, "Shion, you're heartless and you know it. Don't bother with me anymore because I hate you."
I fell to the floor crying as I couldn't comprehend what just happened and wailed. Misaki came running and began hugging me and trying comfort me. "Misaki! I hurt him! He hates me! I-I'm such a horrible person! IT"S ALL MY GODDAMN FAULT!" I cried and cried. Misaki requested to the teacher to let me go home early and they let, seeing the disgusting state I was in. She also requested to Chief if I could miss out on work for today.
When I got home, I locked myself in the room and didn't come out. I sat there hating myself for what I did, cursing at the fact that I fell in love and destroyed someone for it. "Shion, come out!" Misaki called out as I ignored her and sat there on my phone, looking through the photos of a once happy Kurosaki and I. I knew that I would never see his smiling face and neither would he see mine.
~Kurosaki's P.O.V. ~
After I got home, I lay on my bed and began to weep. I said such terrible things to Shion; she was probably crying her eyes out now. But she was the one that started this. She regarded me as a friend and never saw me as her significant other. But for some reason, I couldn't stay mad at her. It was like my heart had ups and downs. Sometimes I hated her with all my being but then I felt like I should forgive her. I pulled out my phone, planning to call her and tell her that everything was alright and that I forgive her but then I got angry and threw my phone at the wall, although it didn't break. I bit my lip and tasted the metallic taste of the blood as it ran down my chin. I was so confused, why was I so angry at her yet guilty at the same time? I hate her for lying to me, for being with another ma- wait; this Tora guy must have black mailed her. She said she had a debt to repay, so something must have happened and that's why she kept it secret, she didn't want to hurt me. No what am I thinking; she cheated on me for some rich pretty boy. And I will never forgive her for it.
~Misaki's P.O.V. ~
"Shion…please come out now. It's ok, it's not your fault. IT WAS THAT CURSED TORA. LET'S GO AND GET HIM TO APOLOGISE, WHILE WE'RE AT IT, LET'S BEAT HIM UP TO A PULP!" I tried to comfort Shion from the other side of the door. I heard a loud thud and kicked down the door, "Shion?! ARE YOU OK!?" and I saw Shion collapsed and blank minded. She stared at me with a blank expression, eyes like voids, no emotion what so ever. I didn't know how to react so I ran downstairs and got mum.
We took her to a psychologist. She explained that Shion was suffering from depression and quite severely. She asked me a couple of questions but I couldn't answer any, so she asked Shion but Shion just stared off into the distance occasionally muttering things like, it's my fault, or I hate myself.
"I'm afraid there's not much I can do Mrs Ayuzawa. We might need to get her to a rehabilitation centre-"
I disagreed, "NO! I will take care of her, please just tell me simple tips to help her! She is suffering from guilt that she destroyed someone, and I need her to get over it. Please just tell me what to do!" The psychologist shook her head, "if that's what she's suffering from then we need the person she hurt to forgive her, it might help but at this rate I don't think so…"
The next few days, Shion refused to leave the room and eat anything. She was so miserable it hurt. When I got to school, I couldn't stop thinking about her. Kurosaki wasn't at school either and hasn't been for a while too. I decided to go to Usui's place that afternoon. When I arrived, someone was standing at the door with a blonde wig and looked just like Usui, although I knew it wasn't him.
"May I see the owner of this room please?" I asked as the man laughed and took off the wig, "yes you may, as his brother, I give you permission."
He gave off the same aura and sophistication as Usui, it was hard to ignore. He began to say something but for some reason I held up the bag of apples I had brought, "Apple?" he smiled and replied, "Oh, apple, very good, I'll cut them up,"
He went over to the kitchen and held up a huge knife, then he cut himself and suddenly several men appeared and bowed, holding first aid kits. All they did was bandaged it and left. Then Usui appeared and they whispered something and then the doppelganger left.
"Usui, I here to talk to you about Shion. She's got depression and refuses to eat or come out of the room. I'm worried that she'll get really hurt."
"Yeah, but I can't do anything about it, it's up to Kurosaki and Shion to work it out themselves. We can only push them."
"How? It might hurt them both further,"
"Yeah, but we can't leave Shion like this,"
"Ayuzawa, you suck at cooking," he said bluntly staring down at my messed up bunny apples, I blush and yell at him, "SHUT UP! Be grateful I made you something!"
"I'll take you home and try to persuade Shion to come out and eat something,"
As we walked out, one of Usui's doppelganger's bodyguard was standing outside and stared at us, "I'm taking her home," Usui said but the guy remained silent. We left the building but he was following us.
"You can't beat us!" I yelled as we ran for our lives towards home. Halfway through the mad dash, we spotted him at the vending machine, and several other places. This guy was fricken teleporting to us, no way could a normal human do that.
Finally we got home but that guy was right behind us. We left him outside though and he remained outside. We got up to my room where Shion was hiding out and Usui knocked on the door,
"Shion, it's Usui, please come out and eat something. Locking yourself up won't do you any good and you're hurting yourself."
Silence.
"Please, Shion." I pleaded but still silence, I wanted to kick the door down but for some reason I couldn't do it.
Usui and I looked at each other and gave up. "Thanks for helping Usui, but I think we should get Kurosaki to forgive her and then she might lighten up again."
"He's probably like her too, we gotta help them before this gets worse."

I found Kurosaki, the next day. He was slouched and not his original self.
"Kurosaki! We need to talk!" He glanced at me, he had bags under his eyes, his eyes were red from crying most likely and his hair and uniform was a mess.
"It's Shion, she's depressed and feels really guilty about what happened. Please forgive her, she's locked herself up and hasn't eaten or had anything to drink for 3 days. I think she might kill herself if this keeps going, so please just forgive her. She needs your he-"
"OH, she's depressed? Does it look like I care?" his words stung, "If she's in that state, how do you think I feel, HUH?! She tore out my heart and threw it out like it meant nothing to her,"
"No, that's not what happened, She was paying off the debt that I had with Tora! She was doing this for me! it's not her fault it's mine! Please believe me and help her, we promise not to get involved with you anymore, but please help her!"
"I couldn't care less what happens to that bitch. She can die for all I care." He sneered as he walked off. I grabbed his shoulder and swirled him around. I got on my knees and bowed, hands and face to the floor. "Please, I beg of you, I will do anything so please help me and forgive Shion. Please-" I choked up and began to sob, "PLEASE SAVE MY COUSIN!" I managed to say as I still bowed, crying.
"You'll do anything? Fine after I go apologise to that whore, you better get out of my face!"
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" I began to cry as we walked to my house.
"Shion, Kurosaki's here to see you."
Again silence.
"OI! HURRY AND OPEN THE DOOR!" Kurosaki yelled as he kicked down the door to find Shion on the floor, blood covered her wrists and in one hand was a pair of scissors. Her eyes were red, her face was pale and her breathing was shallow. I rushed up to her and I knew, she was losing blood and fast.
Kurosaki stared at her in shock, he covered his mouth with his hand and tears fell down his face.
"I-I-I didn't mean for this to happen… What have I done?" he collapsed by her side and held her hand, "What's wrong with me? I'm sorry Shion, I forgive you! Please forgive me!" he pressed her hand against his face, tears mixing with the blood.
"Ku-ro…sak-i-I" she stuttered as she smiled and went limp.
He pulled out his phone and dialled emergency. She was rushed off to hospital. I called Usui, Mum, Suzana, Sakura and Shizuko. We all rushed to the hospital. When the doctors gave us the ok that Shion was fine, we all sighed in relief. Kurosaki was very shaken up and was the first to see Shion.
~Shion's P.O.V. ~
"Kuro-saki. I'm sorry for what I did. It was no excuse to do this to you. It must have hurt a lot, I'm very sorry," a single drop of tear rolled down her face. Shion was plugged into a machine which monitored her heart rate and had a drip bag with blood in it. The doctor said she was almost going to die of blood loss and that if we hadn't gotten to her, she would have died.
"No, I'm sorry. I jumped to conclusions and didn't listen to you. I'm not experienced in this kind of thing so it hurt me and I used this excuse to hurt you. I-I almost killed you…" he sobbed as everyone pat him on the shoulder.
"Both of you, it's not your fault."
Kurosaki nodded and turned to me, "Shion, do you forgive me?"
"Yes, I'm very sorry and I'll never do it again, Do you forgive me?"
"Yes, also, will you be my fiancée?"
Everyone stared at him shocked as he pulled out a very simple gold ring with our initials carved into it.
I burst into tears.
"Yes! Of course!"
He kissed me. His hot, passionate kiss that I remember from the day at the Yumezaki festival. It was so warm and comforting. I knew that now, I could see his smile again. I would be able to hold his hand, take photos and have memories with him again.
Everyone clapped and congratulated us. Kurosaki slipped on the ring and he hand the exact same one on his hand.
"Even though we're a bit young for this… I'm very happy that you still love me. I admit it, I didn't want to fall in love before but with you, I just couldn't help it. And now, you're stuck with me!"
I joked as he kissed my forehead.
"Misaki, would you-" Usui was cut off immediately
"NO!"
We all laughed. Kurosaki decided to stay with me at the hospital for the night. I was allowed to leave the next day and the gold ring glistened in the sun. I linked arms with Kurosaki and we walked out the hospital. When we got out the building, we saw the same cursed black limo that belonged to the devil himself.
"I heard that you were at the hospital, so I decided to pay you a visit." Tora approached, Kurosaki tightened his grip on my hand, glaring at Tora.
"Yeah, no thanks to you!" I snarled at him as he looked down in shame and guilt. I realised I went a bit too far but he deserved every bit.
"Sorry, here's a bunch of flowers and a coupon for that cake shop you really like. Free cakes for the whole year."
"I don't need this,"
"Be grateful I got you something, and the debt was paid by the way. You don't need to worry about it anymore!"
"It better be you ungrateful Son of a Bitch! The next time I see you, you will feel my wrath!"
"I'll be waiting then!" he smirked, looked at Kurosaki and then drove off.
"Kurosaki?"
"It's alright, I understand."
We walked around town. We bought ice-cream, Takoyaki and walked around the park.
"So, going to school tomorrow?" I asked, munching on some Takoyaki.
"Yeah, missed out too much!" he replied.
We watched the sunset. It shone a nice pink and orange. I smiled at him and he smiled back. Blushing I look away as he holds my hand.
"Let's take our time here; I want to remember this day forever."
"Yeah," so we sat there, hand in hand and watched the sun fall beneath the horizon.
Kurosaki walked me home. When we arrived at the gate, he kissed me again. Holding me close, his warmth surrounded me and I fell under his spell. It seemed ot go on forever and I never wanted him to let go. His soft lips against mine, his warm breathe against my skin and his beautiful face up close with mine. I couldn't stop staring. He smiled and his face shone with the vibrant aura that I loved so much. His face shone in the moonlight and he seemed like an angel who had come to take me away.
"I love you, Shion~"
"I love you too, Kurosaki and I regret hurting you."
"Don't worry, it's a thing of the past. I never want to see you hurt ever again, I will become the perfect husband!"
That night, I smiled myself to sleep. I played around with the ring and feel asleep, still feeling the embrace and kiss. I learnt that to be the perfect girlfriend, well fiancée now, we had to be one person. We had to share our feelings and worries. We had to trust each other and protect them. And that was what I planned to do. Now and forever!
