A/N Hey everyone. Wasn't in the mood to draw today so I decided instead to write the next chapter for Broken Pieces! Ug, it is the last day of summer. I start my Senior Year of HS tomorrow and I am really nervous about it, heh...

Guest Review; haha, don't worry. I think the two of them will kiss somewhat soon...Especially since they are going to be living together now. xD

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! I only own my own original characters and the writing in this story.

Chapter 20; Moving In

"Well, shall we go then? You probably want to get settled in, right? Plus my parents want to meet you and welcome you to our home." Tora says, smirking at her.

She rolls her eyes at him and swishes her hip into his, causing him to stumble slightly as she laughs, "Sure. That sounds like a good idea."

He shakes his head as he watches her walk away before walking after her, catching up easily. They get in the limousine and sit in a comfortable silence on the car ride to her new residence.

/~;~\

Kailey follows the Igarashi heir to the front of his mansion. There was a woman waiting at the front doors with long blonde hair and a kind expression. Curious as to who she is, Kailey puts on her graceful smile and bows to the woman slightly. She was dressed in her Miyabigaoka uniform since her and Tora would be heading to play practice after she got all her stuff situated.

The woman before her bows to her as well, "Hello, Silvermorthnone-san. Welcome to the Igarashi mansion. We're happy that we can share our roof with you. I am Tora's mother, Mineko Igarashi. My husband wanted to greet you, but he got caught up in his work and asked me to beg your forgiveness."

Kailey gives her a brilliant smile, "That's quite alright Igarashi-san. I understand the work Igarashi-san does is very important. Thank you very much for allowing me to stay in your home. I am very grateful."

The woman smiles at her again, "You can stay as long as you need. I am sorry, but I must leave you for now because I have my own work to do." she turns to look at her son, who is standing behind Kailey with his hands in his pockets and a bored expression, "I trust you will show Silvermorthnone-san to her room and help her settle in?"

The Igarashi heir flashes his signature smirk, "Yes, mother. I will make sure she gets settled in comfortably."

His mother dips her head and bows to them before going inside the house and presumably to her office to work.

The servants were getting her things out of the vehicles and taking them into the house to where her room likely was.

Tora grabs her wrist and pulls her after him into his house, startling her. "Come on. I'll show you to your room."

She tried to wrench her wrist out of his grasp but although it was gentle, his hold on her was firm. Annoyed, she glares at the back of his head, "You know, I am perfectly capable of walking without you dragging me along."

He looks at her over his shoulder with a smirk, "So what? Are you saying that you want me to not drag you around?"

The way his voice was sounding both playful and flirtatious was worrying her. "Y-yes.." she says sheepishly, uncertain as to what he was now planning.

He gives an over-exaggerated sigh, "Ok, fine. I won't drag you behind me..." he smirks, letting go of her wrist.

Blinking in confusion, she holds her hands behind her-still not trusting his motives. She follows behind him for a few feet but when they reach the stairwell, he abruptly stops and she runs into him. She hadn't been entirely paying attention because she was admiring the architectural beauty of the mansion. In one fluid motion, Tora turns around and picks her up in his arms with a laugh and smirks at her evilly. She yelps as he runs up the stairs with her in his arms. "Hey!" she exclaims in an annoyed voice, but it was obvious that she was trying hard not to laugh.

He stops outside a door but refuses to put her down, "You said you didn't want to be dragged behind by your wrist. Is this not what you meant?" he gives her an innocent expression and she finally gives in and starts laughing.

Tora flashes a proud grin at her and carefully opens the door in front of them, still holding her. He pushes the door open and carries her inside the room, closing the door with his foot. He carries her over to the king-sized bed and throws her down on it, pinning her to it with a laugh and mischievous smirk.

Staring up at him with wide eyes and the beginning of a blush, she glares at him, "W-what are you doing?!" she squeaks. He wraps his arms underneath her in a tight hug, sighing contentedly. She lays there in stunned silence, her cheeks a bright red. Due to the way he is hugging her, her arms are pinned to her sides and she can't really move at all.

'My princess..I'll make you mine soon.' Tora thinks to himself, inhaling her scent with a smirk. He's sure that he will be able to finally get her to fall as deeply for him as he did her now that she is living in his house and sleeping in the room right next to his.

Glaring at the ceiling, Kailey tries to calm her heartbeat down. 'Why is he being like this? And why is him being so close AFFECTING me?!' she thinks to herself. She was still blushing and her heartbeat was beating frantically, ignoring her attempts to calm it. All of her belongings were already in her new room and she came up with an excuse to get Tora off of her. "Stupid tiger, I need to unpack my things. Get off." she growls at him.

Due to the tone of her voice, Tora worries he made a mistake. He uncurls his arms from around her and pushes himself up so he is leaning above her. His worry disappears as soon as he sees her face, and the distraught expression form before melts into his signature smirk. Her face was a bright red and as soon as she saw him looking at her, she looked away from him and blushed more.

"Alright. I suppose you are correct, princess." he sighs nonchalantly, jumping off of her and standing up again.

Feeling strangely empty at his departure, Kailey shakes her head and stands up herself. However, she went from lying down to standing too fast and the world spun around her, making her light-headed. As she starts to fall, Tora catches her with a worried expression, "What's wrong?"

After a minute of them standing there, Kailey shakes her head and stands up fully so she is no longer leaning on Tora. He's watching her carefully, making sure she isn't going to fall over again. "I'm fine. Just got a bit light-headed is all. Thanks."

He nods but still makes sure he is close by in case she needs to be caught again.

Together, they get all of her stuff unpacked and put away. After they finish, Kailey collapses onto the bed with a sigh and covers her eyes with an arm. Curious, Tora goes over and sits on the bed beside her and begins to awkwardly stroke her hair.

She uncovers one eye and raising an eyebrow at him questionably, a confused half-smile on her face, "What are you doing, little tiger?"

Tora turns ever so slightly pink but quickly covers it up with a smirk, "Oh nothing. Why? Am I doing something wrong?"

She shrugs her shoulders, the gesture seeming delicate without her meaning it to, and closes her eyes again, "No. I was just curious."

They sit in silence like that for a little while longer and before she realizes it, Kailey has fallen asleep. Toras' face softens when he realizes she is asleep and he watches her for awhile longer, continuing to gently stroke her hair. On a whim and without much thinking on his part, he carefully leans down closer to her and gently kisses her forehead.

As he's pulling back, she stirs slightly and grabs his arm. He looks at her in surprise and embarrassment, thinking she had woken up. He sees her eyes are still closed and that there is a small smile on her lips. Then he hears her mumble something that surprises him. "T-tora...I lov-" Suddenly she jerks awake, slamming her face into his and falling back onto the bed holding her face in pain. "Owie..." she mumbles, still not entirely awake.

Tora, still thinking about what he just heard her say, is bright red. His mind still hasn't registered the pain from their impact because he is just frozen staring at her with a slightly open mouth and wide eyes.

'Was...was she going to say what I think she was? And in a dream...Does that mean she already...' he thinks to himself, at a loss for words.

After rubbing her forehead profusely, Kailey notices Tora staring at her and turns a deep crimson, "W-what are you looking at me like that for, you stupid tiger?!" she growls at him, throwing a pillow at his face.

Tora shakes his head slightly and flashes her a grin, "Oh nothing, princess~ " he chirps at her, getting off the bed. "Come on, we need to head over to the school for play practice. Don't wanna be late, now do we?" he winks at her and saunters out the bedroom door. She angrily stalks after her, still blushing and together the two of them head back out of the mansion.

Little did they know, but the Igarashi heirs' mother had been watching them and listening to them since she had supposedly gone to do work. She smiles to herself as they leave and sips a cup of tea. "Well, it seems he has finally found someone to care for. Maybe we can find a way to make that official? hehe~ " The mischievous mother thus returns to her work, for real this time.
