Chapter 14: Punished
Author's BS corner: IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION that I've been getting requests to update the oneshot "Of course, I'm not jealous!" I'd almost forgotten about it. So I guess I'll look at it next.
Merry Christmas everyone!
I know I said the last time that Takumi will be doing a modelling campaign in this chapter but I guess that won't happen in this chapter. I have much more and better planned. *WIDE GRIN*
IF you're at least not 17 years old, please skip this chapter! Because this chapter is easily a T MAJOR.
Have fun with the chapter! I'll address the reviews in the next chapter
BUT, my favourite review belonged to Vijuu123: Oh god...did the shower scene imply that Takumi...omg...I...just cant... *blushes madly* Did the shower scene imply that...Takumi...DOESNT TAKE A BATH REGULARLY? How sad! :P XD BTW, miss, if some indian television writer stumbles upon your story, there would be a 2000 episode drama on it which would haunt husbands and kids alike for years as they will have to watch it with their wife & mothers XDDD. LMAO, this chapter rocked. Its now a tough choice between watching new animes or catching up with other fictions in these vacations :3. YOU ARE TO TAKE A FAIR SHARE OF BLAME FOR MY CONFUSION!
*visibily shakes*
*whistles* (What? I AM the most innocent boy in this archive :D :3)
Damn it, Vijuu, XD Yeah, you are the most innocent person in the whole wide world! And Takumi was slacking off a bit, at least he took a BATH XD
And GOD FORBID some indian television writer to find me. I'd rather die than let them make a shitty drama out of my work D; I cringed so HARD
And I'd say, just keep yourself updated with the fics xD All the good anime and live actions don't release till 2017. Just sayin'

Misaki paced her bedroom hurriedly. She kept walking back and forth, deep in thought. Her fingers were shaking as she typed Takumi's name on the dialer keypad and kept deleting it. He was currently in office, after he had dropped by. Gerard had said that he was called in The Raven castle. Why? Why does he need to be there all of a sudden?
Its not like she was scared of Gerard or anything, she just felt like there was something bad waiting for Takumi. They had lived apart during her college time, and she was sure she could do the same again, but she didn't feel confident about sending Takumi there…
But its not like she could say she has bad vibes about him going and cling on to him! She was his pillar of strength, not someone who was an obstacle in his way.
She sat down on the carpet with her legs crossed and rubbed her forehead which was aching. What bad could happen? It's not like Gerard knew about their engagement yet. And Misaki was sure that Takumi would keep him out of it either way. So, she didn't have to worry about what the Walker family thought about her. Or if they would accept her or not.
Maybe it was just a business meeting.
"Yep, there's no need to get worried over something so trivial." Misaki told herself as she looked in the mirror.
Yep, nothing to worry about.
At Walker Corporation:
"What is the meaning of this?" Takumi ran a hand through his hair as Gerard smoked. Tora typed in his laptop nonchalantly.
"It's just for the annual meeting of all the branches of Walker, don't think much about it. Just a week." Gerard said as he kept the cigarette in the ashtray and looked at Takumi with a smile.
"What have you planned, Gerard?" Takumi asked as he placed both of his palms firmly on the glass table and looked straight in his eyes.
"Nothing, you have to attend as CEO, Takumi. You cannot keep on ignoring your responsibilities because of some woman." Gerard said as he waved his arm dramatically, "You are the CEO of Walker group of companies. Moving to Japan was a big step already, you cannot disregard your duties just because of your little girlfriend."
Takumi gripped the glass table angrily. Tora sensed the anger in his eyes and decided to step in, "I wouldn't say that if I were you, Walker-san. The sales have increased astonishingly ever since Takumi took over, there is no denying that Walker was about to go bankrupt before he joined. I think he deserves more credit. Besides, I don't think the CEO living somewhere other than the main headquarters is a big deal. Plus, they already have you there in London, I don't see what the problem is." Tora smirked as he pulled out a cigarette and lighted it up. Gerard took out his handkerchief while Takumi closed his laptop, "I am not going to the Raven castle."
"You cannot run away from your responsibility, a CEO's job is to lead the company in the right direction by motivating those that work under him. There is a board meeting which you cannot miss…" Gerard spoke, but Takumi had already left. He smiled as he picked up the cell phone, "I do have other ways to persuade you, Takumi."
Tora looked at Gerard awkwardly as a wicked smile covered his features. He had never cringed so hard, to think that this guy was Takumi's brother…
Misaki's Apartment:
Misaki had been distracting herself with the latest issue of Aikido daily when her doorbell rang. She was in her workout clothes that consisted of yoga pants and a sports bra. Her hair had been tied up and she had just come back from the gym. She opened the door without second thoughts with a water bottle in her hand.
Her sweat dropped as soon as she spotted Takumi standing at the doorstep with a smile on his face. She smiled awkwardly as she let him in. He didn't say anything, he looked at her with a smile "I'm back~"
Misaki's eye twitched as she placed the water bottle on the table and put on her sweat shirt. Takumi sat down.
"You cannot fool me twice you know." Misaki said with a weird smile as she took off her ring and placed it in the pocket of her sweat shirt.
"I thought I had you at once." Gerard smiled as he took off the blond wig, revealing his raven black hair and smiled more. Misaki's eye twitched again "He's hard to impersonate, you know." She said as she put down a glass of water and sat opposite to Gerard.
"Is he? I thought I just had to act all nonchalant and conservative." Gerard laughed as he placed a bottle of branded wine on her table "Consider this a meeting gift, Miss Ayuzawa." He smiled.
"He doesn't smile like that, and you didn't have to." Misaki said as she tried to act normal. Damn it, why did he have to see her in a stupid sports bra. What must he think of her?!
"No, I insist you have some, with me." Gerard smiled as he got up and walked towards her open kitchen, "Now, where do you keep your wine glasses? Please, do not treat me formally." He said with another smile.
"I don't get why Takumi doesn't like him." Misaki mumbled to herself as she walked inside the kitchen and took out the wine glasses. Sure, the guy was creepy and had a sick, twisted smile, but he wasn't that bad!
"I don't drink much." Misaki said as she took out two glasses and gave them to Gerard, who took them without a word, "You'll like this, I got it from Italy. Excellent taste." He said as he poured out the wine in two glasses, "So, I think you just got back from the gym?"
"Yes," Misaki smiled awkwardly as she took the glass.
"I used to work out too, but now my doctors don't let me exert too much." Gerard said as he sipped his wine and lighted up a cigarette.
Misaki looked at Gerard with widened eyes, "A-Ano, Gerard-san. Isn't smoking bad for you?"
"Ah, I figured I'm going to die someday, might as well die satisfied." Gerard smiled.
"But then shouldn't you be working out as well?"
"I didn't like it much to be honest, sweating is disgusting." Gerard said as he smoked. Misaki smiled awkwardly as she sipped the wine which tasted very good.
A lot of questions revolved in her mind. Like how did he find her house, and what the hell was he doing here and why was she stuck in such an awkward conversation with him. But Misaki kept silent, she didn't want him to have a bad impression of her anyway.
"You're probably pondering why I came to visit you." Gerard spoke as he placed the wine glass down. Misaki smiled as she thought Wow, talk about hitting the nail on the spot!
"Well I have a favour to ask." Gerard said as he crushed the cigarette and placed it on the coaster.
Misaki looked at him, what favour could she do him? Perhaps something legal? "How can I help you?"
"Well you see, there are a few meetings lined up for Takumi in Britain. But he refuses to go."
"Meetings?"
"Yes, there is an annual meeting were the head in charges of all are branches come together to discuss the future plans with the main CEO, a few board meetings and an international convention is also there. Also, a meeting with the relatives in the Raven castle—"
"Why won't he go? Maybe he has a lot of work here in Japan?" Misaki wondered out loud, he didn't say anything about all this to her before.
"Well you see, he says he won't leave you alone here in Tokyo." Gerard smiled "He says that he won't go for your sake."
Misaki placed her glass on the table. What? Was he disregarding everything just so that she didn't have to be alone?
"Well, I am not against your relationship and all, but I still don't think that he should leave everything just to protect his girlfriend. What do you think, Miss Ayuzawa? Am I wrong?" he smiled as he placed his right leg on his left leg. There, now she would feel guilty. He grinned inwardly, "But he just won't listen to me…"
"I'll talk to him." Misaki said as she looked at Gerard, "Don't worry, he'll attend everything."
"Really?" Gerard sighed with a smile "That would be a relief. I knew I could count on you. Thank you for taking care of my young brother." He smiled again as he half bowed his head.
Misaki smiled as she bowed "Please take care of him in England."
"I will." Gerard smiled widely.
Misaki stopped smiling the moment Gerard left. His words swam in her mind as she leaned on the door. Was she really being an obstacle, instead of being a pillar?
She knew Takumi was compromising when he had shifted to Tokyo, but she thought that he did that because he didn't want to be anywhere near the Walkers. He was a man who loved his freedom more than anything, which is why he had come to Japan in the first place. But now, after hearing Gerard's words, she realized. Was she tying him to one place? Did he really say no because of her?
Keeping everything apart, Misaki was an independent woman. She would never want to be the person who comes in the way of Takumi's success or someone who would hold him down from greatness. She didn't want to be the clingy girlfriend. She wanted to be someone he could count on, not someone who depends entirely on him.
She took off the sweaty shirt and sat down as she got thinking. Was he really making professional decisions based on what would be convenient for her? She really had to talk to him now. Gerard was right, a CEO should not compromise the future of the company and his employees because of personal issues.
He should go to England. And she was going to make him go.
The doorbell rang again and Misaki picked up her shirt before opening the door. She was putting the thing on when Takumi entered using his own keys.
"Did I catch you cheating on me?" Takumi asked amusedly as he looked at Misaki's red face while she was halfway through putting on the damn shirt. Her face was stuck inside the shirt and she struggled to take it off. Takumi locked the door and walked towards her to help her untangle the mess she was stuck in.
Misaki was back in her sports bra with a red face. Takumi looked at the wine glasses and smirked "Did I interrupt something?" his eyes narrowed as soon as he spotted the remains of a cigarette lying on the coaster.
"N-Nothing like that, you idi-idiot!" Misaki said as her fist flew to punch him, Takumi caught her wrist and pulled her into his arms, "Wow, no engagement ring, I'm starting to get suspicious now." Takumi said with a serious face as he looked in her eyes.
Misaki heated up at his proximity. "Wh-What the hell are you even talking about?!"
"I'm so annoyed right now." Takumi whispered into her ear, he yanked her arm angrily and she landed on the sofa.
"At least let me speak!" Misaki yelled at Takumi, who was being an idiot. Takumi shook his head as if he was disappointed, "You brought this upon yourself." He spoke, as he lifted up Misaki's sports bra and covered her eyes with it.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Misaki said as her face turned red. But he didn't reply. "Stop being a sadist already! I did not cheat on you. For god's sake, Takumi!" She yelled embarrassedly. Takumi held her wrists up in the air with one hand as he whispered in her ear.
"I can't help it, I'm a very possessive man. Don't you know that already?" he smiled as his fingers traced her chest teasingly. Misaki turned her face away as she tried to ignore the sensations she was feeling. She could see nothing at all with the stupid bra on her face. And the fact that he could see her like that was downright embarrassing!
"Ta-Takumi…stop…I—I…"
His fingers left her for a moment, and she heard him sipping the wine. "Chardonnay '85. Not a bad taste, I'd say." Takumi said as he brought the wine glass closer to Misaki. She could smell it so clearly. It was like her senses were heightened because of being blind folded. She turned her face away since that was the only thing she could do in such a state. "Don't like it now?" she heard him smirk as he brought the glass of wine to his lips. The ice cubes in the glass made a rattling sound and she felt a shiver down her spine.
"Cold, are we?" he asked as he pressed his lips on her belly button. Misa's toes curled at the cold touch and she shivered in a pleasant way.
"Why are you doing this?" she asked as she bit her lip. He still hadn't let go of her wrists and he pressed another ice cold kiss on her lips. "Because I'm jealous."
The kiss left her wanting for more, but she couldn't bring herself to admit it. "You know it was Gerard wh—"
"To think you'd say his name at a time like this, makes me even angrier." He said, irritation filling his mind completely. Misaki felt herself being picked up.
"What the hell Takumi! Stop behaving like a child when you know what really happened!" she protested as Takumi threw her on the bed with a thud. Misaki fell down awkwardly as she heard the sound of a foil packet being opened. Before she could yank down her bra and yell at him, Takumi was back, "You won't be able to talk after I'm through with you." He promised as he held her wrists up again. She felt him smile as he kissed the underside of her breasts.
"You don't like to play fair, do you?" Misaki looked away as she addressed Takumi. After he had been "through" with her, he had dressed her up completely and laid down on the bed—naked, with a huge victorious look on his face. Hell, Misaki could never look at Takumi the same way again. She was truly scandalized after everything that had just taken place. She was beyond speechless. The worst part was that she had liked it! She had liked every single thing that huge pervert had done to her. How could she? HOW COULD SHE?
Her face started to turn red as she thought back to all that happened. Why did she like it so much? Why?
Because his pheromones were invading her body.
Literally.
She looked away when Takumi spooned her. She sat up when it got too much, she was overwhelmed with every sensation he had made her feel. Her heart beat was crazily wild and she could not even bear to look at him in the eyes.
Takumi traced a T on her back lazily as Misaki sat with her back facing her. He had scarred her for good. She didn't think she was going to be able to look at him without having flashbacks of everything he had just done.
With a small yank, he pulled her closer and Misaki felt his abs on her back. She felt a chill down her spine as her body started going crazy again. Takumi placed another kiss in her hair as he traced another T on her arm. Hell, if she could walk, she would run away to the other side of the planet! And if she could speak, she would yell at him about how much of a pervert he was.
"You're tired." Takumi stated as he felt her go in a daze. She leaned against him, "Have some mercy on me, will you?" she looked away with a deep sigh. Takumi made her lie down with her back towards his face. He held her gently as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"I love you, Misa." Takumi whispered as he spooned her, her face turned red as his fingers started going south again. "Go to sleep, you'll pass out otherwise."
He massaged her head as he helped her relax and come down from the high she was experiencing. Her body heated at his touch and she sighed, "I hate you."
"Shhh…" Takumi murmured gently, "You can hate me later, and I can tease you later on."
"You're…" She sighed "…unfair…pervert…so good…" she mumbled "…so good…I hate it…"
Takumi smirked to himself as he heard her little rant. He massaged her hair as she drifted to sleep.
His thoughts drifted to the cigarette butt lying on the glass table. She didn't even have to tell him that it had been Gerard. But, why? Why did he come visit her? He grit his teeth, what was he plotting?
The next morning, Misa woke to the smell of breakfast. She woke up woozily and checked her phone. Looking at the time, she was brought back to Earth. She had slept in too long.
And then she remembered just why she had slept in. Her face turned red as she dared to take it all in. Everything that happened the night before was fresh on her mind and she didn't think she was ever forgetting that.
Speaking of breakfast…
If there was food that smelled this good so early in the morning, it meant that Takumi was in the kitchen.
Her face turned red and vapours started coming out of Misaki's ears as soon as she started imaging how she was going to face him. That pervert! She didn't know he could be such a huge pervert!
This, was probably the best sex she'd ever had.
She buried her face in the pillows. May god grant her the strength to face him without drooling away or getting horny by just looking at his face.
Amen.
Takumi was sipping coffee with a newspaper opened out in front of him when Misaki stepped out wearing a full sleeved shirt and a full length jeans. Takumi smirked the moment he saw her appearance and she looked away with a blush. She took her breakfast and walked towards the sofa to sit—away from him, who was currently lounging on the dining table.
But as soon as she saw the sofa, flashbacks from last night started to come back and her face turned red. Hell, she was moments away from getting a fucking nosebleed!
Takumi watched her amusedly as she awkwardly tried to decide where to sit. She turned around only to find him looking at her. He wore a dark shirt with the top three buttons undone. Why did he have to be so revealing about everything? She could see his skin and the mere thought of it sent her head spinning!
She ran and opened the balcony. The sun rays entered the room and she sat outside. Takumi laughed as soon as she left and ran a hand through his hair with an awkward smile, "Did I break her?" he thought to himself.
"WE have to talk!" Misaki stood in front of Takumi with her arms at the back. She stood stiffly as if she was standing in front of the headmaster. Takumi put down the newspaper with a smile as soon as he saw her cute expression, "What's up?"
"Well…" Misaki rubbed her head.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Takumi asked, "Do you wanna sit?" He offered her his lap and grinned perversely. Misaki's face turned purple but she stayed put like the fighter she was. "No!" She slammed her fist on the table as she sat down on the opposite chair. "This is about something serious." She mumbled as her face turned red. Takumi uncrossed his arms and smiled, "What, are you breaking up with me or something?" He tilted his head and looked at her in the eyes.
"S-Shut up!" Misaki said in frustration as she bonked his head with the rolled newspaper. "Why is it so hard to talk to you!?"
"Okay, okay, don't be so harsh. Demon prez." Takumi mumbled with a pout.
"This is about your visit to England." Misaki said confidently, she was sure she could make him go if she persuaded him.
"No and No." Takumi said as he crossed his arms challengingly, "This is not open for debate."
Misaki flinched as she looked at him, "You shouldn't leave everything aside because of me. I want you to move forward, Takumi." She said as she looked down, "Its only for a week."
"No."
"Besides" Misaki looked at him angrily, "Do you think I'm going to die if you leave me here for a week?!" She glared at him, "Stop treating me like a child! I am an independent woman!"
"Yes, yes, you are." Takumi said as he nodded his head. "But that's not why I refused to go."
"Then why!? I don't want you to put off your career because of me." She glared at him, "I'm going to leave you if do something so stupid!"
"That's harsh." Takumi stilled, "Even when you're kidding." He smirked. "As cruel as ever, classic Ayuzawa~"
Misaki was dumbfounded, "Wh-what the!? I'm not kidding!"
"Hai, hai~"
"Oy! Take me seriously!" Misaki yelled as she tried to catch his attention. Takumi looked at her with a smirk, "You want me to take you? Right now? Perverted Ayuzawa. I thought we were having a serious discussion~"
"Takumi I swear if you don't stop—"
"Okay, okay."
"I just don't want to be an obstacle in your way. I don't want to be the useless and pathetic girlfriend." Misaki mumbled quietly.
"I just don't want to go because the people are clingy and the weather's annoying." Takumi spoke as he leaned back on his chair. Misaki looked at him with widened eyes.
"Just that!?"
"Yep." Takumi spoke with a bored sigh, "Also, I'm worried that Ayuzawa might cheat on me. After what I saw last night, I don't know what to think~"
"S-shut it! That was nothing!" Misaki yelled at him with a glare.
"Hai, Hai," Takumi said in a bored tone.
"Takumi!"
"Fine, I'll go." He sighed. Misaki's face lightened up, "Do your best, okay!?"
"Hai, hai, only if you kiss me~"
"What the! You pervert!"
"I'm not going if I don't get at least a kiss out of it." Takumi crossed his arms and looked away. Misaki sighed. "You never play fair!"
"That's just how I am~" Takumi grinned as Misaki stood up. "F-fine! Only one, on the cheek."
"But—"
"No buts!"
"Fine." Takumi mumbled.
Misaki blushed as she went closer, Takumi pulled her and kissed her on the lips, "Sorry, I don't play fair."
"P-Pervert!" Misaki looked away, it was good that he was going away for a week, she wouldn't be able to look at him anyway!
"Take care of yourself when I'm away, okay? And don't talk to strangers." Takumi said as he pulled her into his arms. Misaki landed on his lap as he kissed her hair, "Don't let my brother in again."
"Takumi!"
"And you better not take off that ring, or be ready for…" Takumi smirked "…Punishment."
"Perverted outer-space alien!" and she blushed red out of embarrassment.
