Chapter 3

No one's POV

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

Misaki stared at him as he spoke. "…Maid?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. She looked thoughtful for a moment then she sighed, crossing her arms and looked aside. "Alright… I don't have any other choice, do I?" she said, sighing.

Kai stared at her as she accepted it unwillingly. "Hm" he muttered. He turned. "And I don't give another chance. Disobey your master and you'll be at your home. You can stay in this room meanwhile" he stated before exiting.

Misaki glared at his back till he was out the door. "What a conceited way of talking! I'm only doing this till I find a way…" she mumbled and sat down on the bed, thinking when…

"Ah, you look fine now! I was so worried last night when Kai-sama came in carrying you, unconscious. Hello, Miss. I am Rukino Ayu, the Head maid. Kai-sama asked you to get dressed and follow me. We have fifteen minutes" said a woman, as she entered the room.

Misaki looked at the woman, who looked in her forties, wearing a long black and white maid dress that reached her ankles. She had black hair tied up in a bun and ice blue eyes. She looked kind by the way she was smiling.

"Hello, Rukino-san. I'm Misaki Tokura. I am… new maid, I guess… Nice to meet you" Misaki greeted and bowed, her manners taking over. "Thank you for taking care of me. I apologize for the troubling you" she added as she stood straight.

Rukino looked at Misaki, surprised then smiled. "You are welcome. I am aware of your identity, Tokura-san… We'll talk later" she said and walked towards Misaki with some clothes in her hand. "Here, please get dressed or he might get angry" she added, rolling her eyes at the word 'he' as she kept the neatly folded dress on the bed.

Misaki smiled. "Thank you, Rukino-san. And please call me Misaki" she said as she took the dress.

Rukino nodded and smiled at Misaki's politeness. "Okay… Misaki. You are such a nice girl. The bathroom's that way. Well… this is the only dress I could provide at such a short notice…" she said.

"It's alright, Rukino-san" replied Misaki as she went in the bathroom and closed the door.

Rukino exited the room after saying "I'll be back later!".

'She's the heir of Tokura corp. and she's missing… What is Kai-sama up to now? He has never brought any women in the house and now… he has made Tokura's heir his maid! Anyway, I think she'll look cute in that dress' she thought as she walked through the hallway, smiling.

Misaki stared at her reflection. "…What is this?! I look like I'm cosplaying…" she muttered as straightened her skirt which reached to her thighs.

She was wearing a dress that looked like a French maid outfit. It was a black and white trim one-piece with a 'U' neck line and short sleeved; the skirt ending at mid thighs and a white ruffled half-apron with a bow tied at the back; black long socks covering her legs till above her knees, showing her thighs a little. She also wore a plain blank choker on her neck. She sighed and glanced at the ruffled headpiece on her head she had worn. She removed it and kept in her skirt's pocket; straightening her hair.

"This skirt is too short… I don't like this…" she said when…

"Misaki? Are you done?" came Rukino's voice.

"I'm coming!" replied Misaki and came out of the bathroom. "Umm… This outfit is strange… I can't-…" she started when…

"Oh Misaki! You look so cute! I was going to find another dress but this is nice!" exclaimed Rukino, clasping her hands in front while Misaki looked taken aback at her outburst. "Come on! Let's go!" she added as she dragged Misaki out.

"Uhh… Thank you… but how can I work around like this…? I mean aren't there other servants as well…? Who will look at me weirdly?" asked Misaki, raising her eyebrows while she was dragged by Rukino.

"Nope! Because there are only three people who work here. Two butlers, I'll introduce them later and me! And I'm mostly off on weekends, I don't stay here" explained Rukino and smiled at Misaki's dumbfounded expression.

Misaki blinked then glanced around. 'Is that guy for real?! This is such an enormous place and only three servants! What a weirdo… And then comes his arrogance! He looks too full of himself!' she thought while walking with Rukino.

"Here we are!" said Rukino and entered the dining hall while Misaki followed. "Hello, Kai-sama" she greeted and bowed.

The said man was sitting on the head chair at the table, wearing semi-casual business clothes, white shirt with a black vest over it (unbuttoned) and black pants and shoes. His face was as emotionless as ever.

"Hn. Rukino-san, please don't address me like that and I have told you this many times. It's Toshiki" he said, plainly.

Rukino waved her hand dismissively. "Kai-sama… you are our master" she said but then she saw him raising his eyebrows.

"Then it's an order" he said.

"Yes… Toshiki" said Rukino and smiled. "Oh, Misaki is here. I'll bring breakfast" she said and left.

Misaki stood straight and fidgeted when Kai glanced at her. She saw him raise his eyebrows as he glanced at her outfit. 'This is so embarrassing!' she thought.

"What are you looking at?" she blurted out then realized her mistake. She abruptly covered her mouth with her hands.

Kai smirked. "Your dress. It's a new trend in maid category?" he asked. "And Tokura… you'll call me Kai-sama. Atleast act like a maid" he stated, more like ordered.

Misaki sighed. "Yes, Kai-sama" she said and bowed a little. "So…what should I do? I mean… What can I do for you, Kai-sama?" she asked, rather uninterestedly.

Kai smirked at her fiery attitude. Well, he can be more fierce than her. "Well, you'll be following me around and fulfilling my orders. Go, clean up my room first and then come to my office, on the other side of the house" he said when Rukino came with the breakfast, which was more than necessary.

Misaki frowned. 'He's totally ordering me like a servant! And he has office in the house?! Just great!' she thought, her eyebrow twitching.

"Yes, Kai-sama" she bowed a little and turned to go to Kai's room when Kai stopped her.

"Tokura, do you know where my room is?" asked Kai.

Misaki turned around. "No… But I can ask-" she said but Kai cut her off.

"Then stand here. I'll come with you after I finish eating" he said and pointed at space beside his chair. He saw Misaki's fists clench and smirked. He will not admit but he was enjoying making her angry.

Misaki took a deep breath and stood where she was told, beside Kai while Kai noticed she was glaring at him. Rukino had an urge to giggle but hold back as she served the breakfast and left, giving Misaki a smile.

Misaki was furious. 'The nerve of this guy! If he continues this, I might kick him. No… I can't do that yet. And looking at him, eating, I'm feeling hungry. I haven't ate anything before last night' she thought and sighed. She glanced around bored when her stomach rumbled. She blushed, embarrassed as her stomach rumbled and looked at him, thinking he wouldn't have heard.

Kai smirked then glanced at her. "Tokura, Sit" he said.

"I am not a dog" she said, narrowing her eyes at him.

Kai smirked, showing his teeth a little, at her retort. "Hm. I assume you haven't eaten dinner last night… So eat" he said, gesturing to the food.

'He's not that bad…' she thought, a little grateful and surprised. She smiled a little.

"I don't want excuse that you fainted because you didn't eat food and couldn't work because of that" he stated. Misaki's face turned plain again.

'I take that back! He's so bad! May be I should have married the man, council had proposed instead of meeting this arrogant man!' she thought as she sat on a chair at the side.

Kai saw her giving him a glare. He didn't say anything as he was enjoying. It may sound weird but a woman glaring at him was kind of amusing for him. He smirked. He was looking forward to order her around and… 'That dress looks good on her' he thought.

Meanwhile, Misaki stared at her plate all the while as she ate the breakfast. She was angry but kept a straight face and didn't even glance at Kai even once but she knew she was being watched. Kai, on the other hand, watched her as she ate her food.

"Is there something on my face, Kai-sama?" she asked. There was hint of irritation in her voice, Kai noticed. She glanced at him and found that he had finished his food.

"No. Just thinking that you eat a lot when angry" he said, as if stating the obvious. 'There is something missing…' he thought, looking at her.

"I'm not angry. Wait… That is nothing of your concern, Kai-sama. Why don't you look somewhere else other than my face" she said, now glaring at him.

Kai had an urge to chuckle but stopped himself. "Seriously, Tokura. You are amusing to watch" he said and smirked.

"What?!" she exclaimed. She sighed deeply, closing her eyes. "Whatever" she muttered and stood up. She took both of their plates and headed where Rukino went earlier while Kai shook his head.

'Such temper… almost equal to mine. Let's see who wins Tokura. I'll make you regret insulting me…' he thought and stood up as he saw her walk in. "Follow me" he ordered. Misaki walked behind him without a word.

"This is my room" said Kai as he stood in front of his door. "In case you haven't noticed, it's across yours" he added.

Misaki rolled her eyes. "In case you don't know, I remember things quite well" she retorted. Kai smirked. 'Great! Now I have to check the hallway first before coming out of my room, to avoid looking at him the first thing in the morning' she thought.

"I have heard that. And stop talking back to your master Tokura or you'll be punished" he said as he opened the door. "Come to my office in half hour. Ask Rukino-san for directions" he added and turned to leave.

"Wait… What? You expect me to clean your room in half hour?" she asked with bewilderment while he merely walked away, leaving her at the door.

"Hn. Don't be late"

Few minutes later…

"I'm surprised. This room was not that messy… Still he wants it to be cleaned!" said Misaki as she wiped the floor. Well, that's the last task to be done.

She glanced around the simple room. Walls painted white; windows framed with light blue curtains flowing along with light breeze. Everything was perfect and neatly placed; the books, the files, the vase. She checked, glancing around. She was always good at organizing things. "Hmm… Good work Misaki" she said to herself and smiled.

"I have five minutes left!" she exclaimed as she glanced at the clock. She turned around hurriedly and accidently hit the bucket of water she had used to clean the floor.

"NOOOOO…!" she exclaimed, horrified as the water splashed on the ground and spread. It flowed towards the door when…

The door opened and Kai came in. He noticed Misaki standing two feet away in front of him and took a step forward.

Misaki's eyes widened when she Kai in front of her and in the next moment, he slipped on the water. The next thing she knew, Kai had crashed into her.

Misaki's back hit something soft and she gasped due to the impact. She looked up to see Kai's usually unexpressive face had a surprised look and was few inches away from hers, his hands on either side of her head. Misaki blushed at the close proximity, suddenly realizing of how good he looks up close. Her blue eyes looked in his turquoise eyes and she blushed more.

On the other hand, Kai stared at the lilac haired beauty whose face, for some reason had turned red. She's more cute up close, he realized and blinked. He stared in her clear blue eyes… but then why didn't he moved yet.

Misaki blinked as she realized her position and her heart skipped a beat. Apparently, Kai had fallen on top her and unfortunately (fortunately), they had landed on the bed behind her… His bed. Her legs were dangling off the bed below knees and Kai's weight had pinned her down. Well… he did fell on her, hard.

She was the first to snap back. "Hey! M-Move it!" she exclaimed but stammered, causing Kai to blink, much to her annoyance. "Have you gone deaf? You are heavy! Get away from me!" she added, annoyed but still with a red face.

Kai smirked and shifted back but before he could push himself up, someone coughed get to their attention. They both turn to the source of noise.

"My, my, Toshiki. This is so unlike you…" said Rukino, standing at the door and looking a little amused.

Kai abruptly stood up and left through the door, passing Rukino on the way. "Atleast you should have closed the door…" she muttered for only him to hear and saw an embarrassed Kai walk away with long strides. Rukino laughed when he was out of sight. 'I haven't seen him embarrassed for ages now…' she thought.

Misaki sat up on the bed, dazed. 'What was that just now… I told him to move and he was staring at me dumbly! He looked… He's really strange' she thought and sighed deeply. She stood up from the bed and looked at Rukino, cleaning the mess.

"I'm really sorry, Rukino-san!" Misaki apologized and bowed. "Let me clean it!" she said and started cleaning.

"It alright Misaki. Actually I barged in at the wrong time…" said Rukino, looking at Misaki. "…When you two were being so cozy-cozy, huh?" she teased.

Misaki's face heated up. "N-No! It's was an accident! Kai slipped on the water!" she defended. "He f-fell on me a-and that's when you c-came" she stammered.

Rukino smiled and stood up as she finished cleaning and Misaki followed suit. "I was just surprised to see him like that. Well… actually… most of the time girls fell on him" she said left. "Come on, I'll show you your master's office"

Misaki rolled her eyes at the words 'Girls fell on him'. "Well… isn't he the lucky one?" she said, sarcastically and followed the laughing Rukino.

With Kai…

'What was that just now…?' he thought and ran his hand through his hair as he walked through the hallway. He exhaled deeply as if he was holding his breath for a long time. He was feeling something strange, something different on which he couldn't put his finger on. His thoughts drifted to the lilac haired beauty and her blushing and annoyed face. Her hair was sprawled around her face like a halo and her eyes… he had felt like her eyes were drowning him… But then she blinked causing him to realize their suggestive position, which he liked much to his astonishment. He shook his head, bewildered at his thoughts. He doesn't and never thinks like this. This is just plain stupid… right…?

He had smirked down at her when she snapped at him to move which he should have done already but he didn't… And the worse thing was, he had felt his face heat up when he saw Rukino-san at the door and how she had commented. He sighed. 'I'm thinking too much in this matter. She's more like my enemy who I had made servant' he thought, ignoring how smug he sounded but still there was a hint of doubt in it. 'Yes, I'm right. I always am…'

Right…?
