She was sitting in detention, lifeless and with a sharp pain that inhibited her arm. Usui's hold earlier on her made it hurt really bad, it burned and it was getting hard for her to move her arm around. She didn't blame him, he didn't even know. Even luck wasn't on her side, on her way to detention she hit her arm at the side of the door. Another impact and it would surely start to bleed.

She left her arm hanging down on the desks' side and set her head on the table, allowing herself to fall deep into her thoughts for a short amount of time. She heard the door slide open and some footsteps entering the classroom. She didn't care enough to see who it was so she just kept laying on the table and zoned-out.

background noises*

Detention teacher: o-oh, u-usui-san did you have s-some work here?

The teacher, trying to get usui's attention, said while blushing. Usui on the other hand had his full focus on the girl that was sleeping at the desk in the corner of the classroom.

Usui: I think the principal was looking for you...

Sensei: the principal! Oh my, I need to go now. Would you be so kind to take a look of things here usui-san.

Usui: *smile* yes of course.

The sensei blushed madly and exited the classroom in a daze. When the sensei had left usui approached the sleeping beauty that was before him. Her Raven locks fell on the side of her shoulder which was followed by an arm hanging down lifelessly off the table that she laid on oh-so beautifully.

He was mesmerized by the view that displayed upon him. For some reason his heart always beat intensely, he had never felt this feeling before. Not any girl had ever made him feel this way before then why her. He just couldn't help but feel as though she was special, different form all the other girls.

On the other hand, misaki felt someone towering over her. She shifted her head to the side, only a bit, just to see who was invading her personal space, and found the perverted man that had forced her to come with him after school. She frowned instantly but at same time felt relief?

She didn't know what to call this feeling that had washed over her. This was something new for her. She was just used to being ignored, bullied, teased and made fun of, but never had she felt this warm feeling inside her chest that she was feeling right now. Her eyes turned from cold, emotionless to warm, and cozy.

Usui: so, I see you got detention

His voice set fireworks in her stomach as she for a moment became frozen at the very spot. His jade green eyes staring intensely into her own ember ones, it was alone enough to make her feel accepted in this world where she had felt nothing but loneliness and rejection. She liked this feeling but at the same time she hated it. Emotions were just a weakness in her mind.

Shrugging these thoughts she replied in a cold voice, her eyes reverting back to state they once were in, lifeless, emotionless. Usui noticed her change in emotions, he found it amusing yet confusing on why she was that way, maybe that's why he wanted to get closer to her...maybe.

Misaki: I'm sure that you have the eyes to see that I did...or maybe your so dumb that you can't even see.

She mumbled the last part to herself, not knowing that the so-called pervert had heard her. He chuckled to himself and continued

Usui: hmm, maybe I am that dumb

He flashed her a smirk while she was just staring at him with a tint of amusement in her eyes, which was barely seen. But seeing how much attention he had been paying to her, he noticed her every single emotion.

Misaki: idiot...

He again chuckled at her response as he found her pout to be extremely cute.

Misaki: what are you even doing here

Usui: waiting

Misaki: for who

Usui: you of course

His answer was obvious, yet because of her absent mindedness, it got her dumbfounded. She made a bank face for a while which made usui chuckle to himself. She than realized what he had meant. She was to go out to someplace with him after school, she didn't think that anyone would be dumb enough to just wait two or more hours for someone, especially like her, but he did.

Somehow, it got her disappointed yet happy? How annoying theses mixed emotions were to her. She sighed loudly and finally sat up straight staring into his ember orbs. Her hair fell on her face covering one of her eyes, it...was her normal look. That's how she was everyday. She stared at him, half-asleep because of her tiredness, half in pain because of her arm.

She felt pain, yes but she was just so used to it that it was really easy for her to hide it all. Usui saw her flinch a bit, only for a mere second when she did , and than back to normal. What was up with her, was she in pain. Obviously usui knew how to keep a poker face on and when someone was keeping it, he saw right through them, and Misaki had that poker face on. He wanted to ask her but knowing that she wouldn't be comfortable in telling him, he just ignored the urge to do so.

Usui: so are yo-

He was interrupted when the door opened. The sensei had come back fuming to the classroom. She supposedly got scolded because usui had lied to her about the principal thing, and the principal wasn't the kind to joke with. Poor sensei...

Sensei: usui-san, the principal said that he didn't call me

He walked over to her slowly and gave her the most innocent look he had, he really hated making up this faces just to get out of situations but he had to so he wouldn't get in trouble. He did skip classes and everything so it was a wild card for him to use.

Usui: sorry sensei, but...I really thought that he called out to you

He faked some tears at the corner of his eyes making the sensei all flustered and fuming...

Sensei: Oh-no no no usui-san, it wasn't your fault, it's ok, everyone makes mistakes

He smiled like a little kid who just got a lot of chocolates or something he had been wanting for a month, pheromones emitting from his very figure, sparkles all around him, almost blinding the sensei, how was it even possible...

Usui: thank you, sensei!

Her nose bled as she just waved at him telling him it's no big deal and ran off to the girls washroom to cool her head. Meanwhile Misaki just sat their looking at him as if he were an alien who just landed on her with his spaceship. How could someone emit so many pheromones.

Usui caught her staring at him and smirked while turning back to face her, her face still in shock, though a normal person wouldn't have been able to notice that, usui did. She really was amusing. She turned her face away, her cheeks slightly tinted in pink, so cute, he thought.

Usui: so, as I was saying, ready to go?

He gave her a kind smile, not the one that he had given to sensei but this one was from the heart, warm and comforting, which had butterflies flying in her stomach. Weird is what feeling these emotions made her feel. She sighed and replied with a tired 'fine' while he just smiled at her and led her out of detention.

They walked out of the school's gate as misaki was glad that no one was around at this time, who would be two hours after school ended, except from those like her who needed to, and probably an idiot. The she looked up at the man walking besides her, idiots like him...she thought.

She mumbled a 'idiot' under her breathe that didn't go unnoticed by him as he just smiled and chuckled a bit to himself, which was mostly just ignored by her. They walked in silence, dreadful silence for Usui, while peaceful for misaki, with her also maintaining a fine distance between him and her. He sighed and decided to break the silence with the first thing that came to his mind, surely he didn't think it through,

Usui: why did you jump?

As soon as those words left his lips, he froze, wasn't this a sensitive topic. He mentally slapped himself for what he had said out of his own curiosity and foolishness. She stopped in her tracks, a blank cold expression took over her features that had softened a bit, just a bit. She stared at him, the dead expression never leaving, as though she was looking through his soul, he shivered at her piercing stare.

Misaki: i should've known, I'll be leaving.

As she turned to step away, he grabbed her arm. A sudden pain coursed through her body as she held in a scream or a Yelp that would've escaped her throat. Her eyes shut tight, she let out a deep breath and turned to look at him only to find him with a shocked and sorry expression on his face. Why was he making that face?

She wondered and then tried to take her arm back when she noticed a trail of blood trickling down. Her shirt was stained with blood as she noticed his hand, red with her blood. She mentally cursed and shook her arm from his grasp, trying to hold in any expressions or sounds that may indicate she was in pain.

Misaki: as I said, I'll be leavin-ng

She, once again just wanted to kill herself for this. Why did her voice have to crack the second she said something. Not wanting him to speak anything further she held her arm tightly, as if to stop the blood, and walked away fast making her way back to her apartment. Meanwhile, he was still just standing there, stunned by what he saw.

Why was there so much blood on her arms? He wanted to chase her, ask her what's wrong, comfort her from whatever she was facing but his legs wouldn't move. He tried to say something to stop her, but his voice wouldn't come out. He cursed under his breath and just ran after her, trying to figure out where she went, but he was too late as she was nowhere to be seen.

He sighed, and made his resolve to ask he and try his best to help her. He just proceeded back to his own apartment, still thinking as to why...why was..., his mind was just too scrambled to think anything else. All night, his thoughts kept drifting off to her. He just wanted to hold her in his arms and whisper to her that everything will be alright, but none of it could be done.

-that night-

'Misaki, your mom's sick so we're going to the hospital. Take care of yourself, alright?'

Misaki: but dad, what happe-

'Sorry, misa. I have to go. Good Night and take care, bye'

And with that the call ended.
