'…' - Thoughts

"…" - Speaking

Chapter 2

No one's POV

"Darn it!" muttered Kai as he saw the woman close her eyes.

"Hey! Wake up! Hey…?" he tried, as he bent and shook her but to no avail.

He had been thinking about what Ren had said while driving and was a little pissed about being 'rejected' and a little amused at the said woman who rejected 'Him' while mistaking his friend, Ren, for him when suddenly a woman came out of nowhere in front of his car causing him to slam his breaks and stop his car before he could hit her …and he succeeded… He inspected for damage but found out that she only has some scratches and was breathing slowly. He sighed relieved that he hadn't really hit her. '…She just fainted…' he thought, sighing.

He glanced around if there was anyone but found no one. He frowned. 'Great! Why did she have to come in front of my car? What should I do now? This is such a pain…' he thought and glanced down at the woman. Being a gentleman… uh… sometimes…, he cannot leave a woman on a road like that now, can he?

He picked her up (bridal style) and carried her to his car. Once he put her on the passenger seat after opening the car door with her still in his arms, he closed the door. Sighing deeply, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed 'Ren'. He frowned when Ren didn't receive his call. 'Where's that Idiot now…' he thought and pinched the bridge of his nose, exasperated.

Kai went to the driver's seat after a moment of contemplation. Tiredness was getting him now from the day's work. He shook his head and put on her seatbelt first then his and started the car. "Whatever… I just need sleep"

Misaki's eyebrow twitched when she heard some voices… more like whispers.

"…She hasn't woken up since you…"

"Okay…"

Then more whispers. She couldn't hear them properly and then she made a noise and heard some shifting. "…Umm…"

Just then she recalled everything and stood abruptly, eyes wide… but then her head collided with something hard.

"Oww…! What-…?" she muttered, holding her head with her hand when she heard a grunt. She glanced up and saw a man holding his head with his hand and his face contorted in pain…and she stared at him.

Just as the maid left after telling him the condition about the unconscious woman, Kai heard her mumbling something and went towards her, thinking she had woken up. But just as he bent and was about to shook her, his head collided with her when she sat up abruptly. He glared at her while she stared at him for few seconds holding her head then glanced around the room, then again at him.

"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to do it…" said Misaki, looking at him and saw him glaring at her, with his turquoise eyes. 'Those eyes… from last night' she thought.

"Hm" he muttered, looking at her blue eyes for the first time.

"Uhh… did you save me…?" she asked. He merely stared at her, expressionlessly. Her eyes narrowed a little. "…"

"…Thank you…?" she said, more like stated.

"Whatever" he said, finally and plainly. Her eyes narrowed more at him. He continued, "Who are you? I'll tell someone to drop you off to your place"

Misaki frowned. 'What kind of guy is he? Behaving like a total jerk… Someone could have atleast asked how am I feeling right now' she thought. "Aren't you suppose to introduce yourself first before asking others?" she asked, glaring at him.

Kai was surprised at her tone and her glare. A woman… is glaring at him and talking rudely to him. This is a whole new thing. He smirked causing Misaki's glare to intensify. He looked unfazed though.

"Kai Toshiki" he introduced…

Misaki would have sweatdropped if she wasn't glaring at the moment. He expected her to jump and squeal when she heard his name but she didn't. He masked his surprise well enough and looked at her, amused.

"Tokura Misaki. Although, it's not really nice to meet you at all. But still I would like to thank you for saving me last night" she said. She glanced down and saw her clothes had changed, making her surprised. She was wearing a purple night gown.

Kai's eyes widened when he heard her and he didn't even masked his surprise. He was still pissed at the woman who dared reject him like that. And the 'rejection' part is always done by him. It was more like an insult for him. Well, he never let the people off the hook who dare insult him, which was a rare thing… And now that she's in front of him…

"You!" they exclaimed… Kai glaring at her and Misaki narrowing her eyes accusingly at him…

"W-Who changed my clothes?" she asked, glaring at him. Kai stared at her as she accused him of something he didn't do. He then shrugged making her more furious.

"What's the point of telling when you are already saying like you know it was me who changed your clothes?" he countered and smirked at her.

He saw as her knitted eyebrows rose up as if processing his words. 'Tokura Misaki. So you are one who I was going to meet last night… Interesting…' he thought, looking at her, still smirking.

"Well…?" she asked, her tone hard.

"Stop accusing. My maid changed them" he answered, uninterestedly.

To say Misaki was annoyed was an understatement. She looked out the 0window and found it was already morning and was thinking. 'This guy managed to annoy me just in a few minutes… Anyway, what should I do now…? I cannot go back just now… I have to call Shin-san or Akari first to access the situation… And the most important problem is that, I have absolutely nothing with me! I'm broke…' she thought.

Meanwhile, Kai stared at her, plainly. He just recalled what Ren had said last night. 'So, she's the one… Now I can get back at you for what you did. And it's true; she didn't react when she heard my name so she really doesn't know who she was meeting last night. But then why did I find her like that last night? According to Ren, her men followed her. Don't tell me…' he thought and realized something.

"Tokura, why did I find you like that? Are you running from home…?" asked Kai causing Misaki to look at him with wide eyes for few moments. She paused.

"I-I…It's… none of you concern" she replied, causing his smirk to widen more.

"I see…" he said and walked towards her, making her alerted. She was feeling rather intimidated as he came towards her and stood beside her bed. She instinctively backed up.

Kai held out the newspaper in front of her. He watched as her face show shock all over when she glanced at the paper. "Not so cocky now, are we?" he taunted.

Misaki snatched the paper from him, glaring at it. "What? No way! Why did they do this!" she exclaimed when she saw the headlines regarding her missing and also there was a reward for the one who finds her. "This is bad…" she muttered.

"…for you, Tokura…" kai added and smirked. "Well? Now let's go, I'll drop you to your home" he said as if it was nothing. She looked up at him.

"No! I can't go back just yet!" she said, mostly to herself. Her eyes narrowed at him. "Don't tell me you are up for that reward thing" she stated.

Kai stared at her for few seconds, raising his eyebrows. He shook his head at her. "Who do you think I am? Anyway, care to explain why you don't want to go back or should I call Tokura residence?" he asked.

"No! You can't do that!" she exclaimed. She saw him giving her an 'I-can-do-that' look. "I-I mean… Please…? I request you, Mister Kai" she said.

Kai smirked. "That's better. Now tell me" he said and sat on the bed, facing her. She back away more and leaned on the head board of the bed.

"…I… Yes. I ran away last night…" she admitted, looking everywhere other than Kai who was smirking at her embarrassed face.

"Well… I know it's… embarrassing but I just had no choice… I admit I'm broke for now… but once I find a way I can… No, Shin-san will probably be interrogated… They'll go to Akari as well…" she continued more like she was talking with herself. The man in the room was now forgotten. Alerted, Misaki glanced at him when he shifted.

"You can rest for a while now. I'll send someone to prepare clothes and food for you" said Kai as he stood up. He turned to leave but halted when she called him.

"…Mister Kai. It's alright. You don't need to. Actually, I have a request…" she said as she stood up from the bed. Kai turned around to face her but was surprised to find her bowing to him. He blinked.

"I know it sounds ridiculous as we are strangers but …Can I stay here for a while…? Ofcourse I'll not stay for free… and please don't inform anyone about it…?" she asked, still bowing, looking at the floor.

Kai was silent so she stood straight and looked up at him as he was a head taller than her. "I-I… will work for you… I'll do chores in your house in return for your favor and as a Thank you for saving me…" she continued, hope visible in her eyes.

Kai stared in her crystal clear blue eyes as he heard her speak. To Misaki, he looked expressionless but he was professional in masking his emotions and expressions. 'This woman has left me amused… She sure has guts to speak back at me that no woman has done ever and still made a request although she looks annoyed while asking, like she's requesting me almost grudgingly… Interesting woman she is. Wait… This is a great chance to get back at her' he thought.

Misaki stared at him as he walked closer to her and stood in front of her, towering over her, causing her to step back. He looked more intimidating to her as he was smirking. She couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment.

"Sure… starting today… you'll be my maid, Tokura"
