Chapter 7

No one's POV

"Tell me, why you did not accept the marriage proposal" said Kai.

Misaki looked at him in surprise. She was not expecting that he will ask her the reason but she was wrong. 'Just sitting with him now is making me uncomfortable now that I know who he was supposed to be… And he chose to ask me this! Great! What is his problem anyway' she thought.

She gave him a skeptical look. "Why do you want to know?" she asked instead.

Kai gave her a nonchalant look. "You are not the one to be questioning here, Tokura" he stated, causing Misaki to narrow her eyes at him.

"I didn't want to marry the person I don't know" answered Misaki, uninterestedly. Well, that is the half-truth.

"That means you will marry the person you know?" asked Kai, raising his eyebrow. Misaki's blinked at the question.

"I… don't know. Does it matter?" replied Misaki, as she herself hasn't thought about it. Kai raised his eyebrow questioningly at her reply.

"Aren't you seeing someone? I thought you have a boyfriend who you want to marry and the others are against it" he said, causing Misaki to raise her eyebrows.

"No, I don't. I had no time for those things. Are we playing twenty questions?" said Misaki, rolling her eyes.

"I see… Then why did you run anyway…?" asked Kai, now intrigued. He ignored her last question making her frown.

"I had no choice. And I don't think any of it is your business" said Misaki, now annoyed.

"It is. You work for me now. The people who accompanied you last night called me and were enquiring, although I didn't tell them you are here" explained Kai. Misaki stared at him in surprise.

"T-thank you for that…" she said. She then glanced at the floor for few seconds then looked at him, as if contemplating something. "I guess I have no choice then…"

Misaki exhaled. "I think they are planning something behind my back and I need to confirm it. That is all I can say…"

"Then face them. Why hide?" said Kai, plainly.

"You won't shut up until I tell you the reason, right?" asked Misaki, glaring at him.

"Yes. You have no choice anyway. Refrain yourself from talking to me like that" stated Kai, narrowing his eyes at her choice of words.

"Well, I can't do anything there. I'm always accompanied and they say it is for my protection but I know they are keeping tabs on me. Shin-san was also attacked when I asked him to do some investigation so I told him to stop for now but then they planned the marriage thing. You know too much now" said Misaki and shook her head.

Kai stared at her for few seconds after her explanation and raised his eyebrows. He was about to speak when the doorbell rang, indicating that their guest has arrived.

"I'll go and get the door" said Misaki and left the kitchen after removing her apron, hanging it in its place and Kai to his musings. Kai stared at the floor, frowning then sighed as he stood up.

'Well… this is… complicated… That man on the phone was talking like he was interrogating me' he thought, recalling his phone call from Tokura residence.

"HEY, Kai! Huh?" greeted Miwa and grinned happily as soon as the door opened and barged in but… he stumbled, causing him to grip Misaki's shoulders for support. "Whoa!"

Misaki's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the blonde in front of her, suddenly gripping her shoulders and the bags in his hand fell on the floor.

Silence….

"What do you think you are doing, Miwa?"

Both Misaki and Miwa looked at Kai who spoke. Miwa instantly let go of Misaki's shoulders and laughed nervously.

"I'm sorry about that, Misaki-san. Nice to meet you finally, I'm Miwa Taishi" introduced Miwa, scratching the back of his head and straightened.

"Tokura Misaki, although you sound like you already know me. That was a flashy entry you had, Miwa-san" said Misaki, glaring at him.

Miwa laughed nervously at that and glanced at Kai who was frowning and then at Misaki who seemed to be staring (glaring) at him.

"That's not how you invite guests, Tokura. Stop staring at him" interrupted Kai, when he saw Misaki kept looking at Miwa. He frowned.

"My apologies, Kai-sama…but that's how your friend entered, in case you didn't see" retorted Misaki, rolling her eyes. Miwa noticed the sarcasm in her voice.

"You should have moved aside, Tokura. Before he fell on you" stated Kai, slightly peeved.

Miwa sweat dropped. 'He is annoyed because I fell on her and I grabbed her shoulders for support…? He is getting so worked up over such a thing…' he thought, amused.

"Kai-sama, you forgot to notice it was not my fault that he fell on me" Misaki fired back, throwing a glance at Miwa.

Miwa glanced between them with his eyebrows raised. He smirked as he glanced at an annoyed Misaki and then at Kai who was frowning but he knew better.

'Kai seemed to be jealous from inside… I never knew I could see Kai arguing with a woman… but this is quite a sight to see… How lucky I am!' he thought and mentally smirked slyly.

"My, my… You two fight like a married couple. I'm standing here and you guys are having lover's quarrel. Kai, I never expected that" said Miwa and shook his head at Kai. To add in the situation, he took Misaki's hand and kissed the back of her hand, surprising both Misaki and Kai.

"I'm really glad to meet such a beautiful woman. Call me Miwa" said Miwa as he let go of Misaki's hand, leaving her speechless. Kai, on the other hand, glared intensely at Miwa which Miwa noticed and smirked mentally as he wanted to see the same reaction.

But then…

"OWW! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" exclaimed Miwa when Misaki pulled his left ear, hard.

"It's my greeting in return of yours" said Misaki, her other hand on her hip and let go of Miwa's ear with a satisfied smile on her face.

Kai smirked at that. 'That's like my Mi… Maid' he thought and blinked at his thought as he was going to say her name instead. "Let's just eat now" he stated before walking back and sighed.

Miwa rubbed his ear and exclaimed, "That hurt! I was just being a gentleman!" and picked up the bags he had dropped. Misaki rolled her eyes, "Whatever…"

"Seriously, you made her your maid?" asked Miwa, for the fourth time now.

He recalled that Ren had said Misaki is working for Kai but he was surprised that she was working as a maid. "Then, will she call me Master or Miwa-sama as well…?" he added.

Kai frowned now annoyed. "Yes, I did. And No, she won't call you that. Now eat up and go to your home already" stated Kai while Misaki glanced at the two.

"You said he is your friend yet you talk to him like this, Kai-sama? What will Rukino-san say when she hears this…?" said Misaki. Her mocking tone didn't go unnoticed by Kai and Miwa. Kai's eyebrow twitched at that.

"Aww… He really said I'm his friend? I'm really happy!" exclaimed Miwa, as he ate the donuts he had brought but snickered at Kai's expression. 'She sure has a nerve to retort to Kai. This will be fun to watch!' he thought.

"Say Misaki-chan and Kai, I'm really sorry I interrupted your dinner date today. But that's alright, right? There's always a tomorrow!" said Miwa, smiling at Kai.

"That's not it" both Kai and Misaki said at the same time, uninterested. Miwa noticed Misaki shoot a glare at Kai but didn't say anything.

Kai stood up, causing Miwa to raise his eyebrows. "Where are you going?" asked Miwa but got no answer and saw Kai leaving the dining room.

'He sure looks angry that I interrupted their dinner though' he thought and sweat dropped. He sighed and at looked Misaki.

"Ne, Misaki-chan. Why did you reject Kai, anyway? Any woman would have jumped on the opportunity" said Miwa and saw Misaki narrowing her eyes at him.

"Is there a problem? Can't I reject a marriage proposal? He's not that much of a 'Prince charming' as well, aside from his looks and money" said Misaki, crossing her arms. Miwa laughed at that.

"I guess… But he's not bad at heart… He just doesn't know how to show his 'Sweet' side… He seems to like you though" said Miwa, smiling at Misaki who paused for a second.

"Yes, yes. His mocking shows that. He even ignores my questions and I saw he just ignored you as well" stated Misaki, as she put the plates in the sink. Miwa laughed at her sarcasm and shook his head.

"I'm serious, Misaki-chan. If he didn't like you, he would have told you to leave by now" Miwa pointed out, as if it was the most obvious thing. Misaki scoffed at that.

"This should give you a pretty good idea" she said and pointed at her Maid uniform, rolling her eyes. "Why am I talking to you anyway" she added and told him that she will clean up the rest.

Miwa insisted to help Misaki clean up while they talked while Misaki told him that she'll be cleaning up the dishes so he should go and "waste his time with Kai". Miwa laughed at her tone.

Kai, on the other hand, sat on the couch in the parlor and leaned back as he put his legs on the coffee table in front of him. He relaxed and sighed contented. He closed his eyes then…

"There you are, Kai!" said Miwa as he stood in front of Kai who's eyebrow twitched at the voice. Kai opened his eyes.

"You are still here, Miwa?" asked Kai and sighed.

"I was helping Misaki-chan to clean up. Why…? You want to be alone with her, huh?" said Miwa, smirking slyly at Kai who merely grunted and closed his eyes again.

"She's not that much friendly but she is a nice person… I like her" said Miwa.

Kai snapped his eyes open and glanced at Miwa who sat beside him on the couch but didn't make any movement. "Good for you" he muttered, uninterestedly.

Miwa turned to Kai, smiling. "Don't you like her?" he asked and Kai answered him, instantly, "No".

"I see… That tells why you made her your servant… Not that you wanted her around, I know, I know" pressed Miwa, nodding at Kai who merely raised his eyebrows at Miwa. So Miwa continued…

"But I can see you like her-…"

"I do not like her" Kai cut in.

"…- being around you. Huh?" Miwa stopped and stared at Kai who seemed surprised. He grinned slyly. "Sure. Good then. Just wanted to confirm that" he added and shrugged.

Kai looked him, slightly perplexed. "What are you planning?" he asked when Miwa leaned back on couch and sat idly.

"Oh, nothing much… Misaki-chan told me she's going to find a good man to marry, a 'Prince charming' to be exact. I'll help her in that. She doesn't have a boyfriend but I think she already has someone in mind and that is not you, judging from her tone… Don't look at me like that! I'm telling the truth. Ask her if you don't believe me" said Miwa and shrugged while Kai stared at him.

Miwa pulled out his cell phone as he knew Kai was looking at him with suspicion, so he acted cool. Then he saw Misaki and called her, causing Kai to look at her as well.

"Misaki-chan, you must be tired… You should rest now" said Miwa, stopping Misaki in her tracks and saw her carrying some clothes in her hand.

"Thank you for your concern, Miwa. But not many people are as generous as you around here" said Misaki, shooting a glare in Kai's direction and walked off.

Miwa threw a grin in Kai's direction and stood up. He spotted the bag he had carried on the couch. "Oh, give this to Misaki-chan. Asaka-chan asked to give it to her. Don't be hard on her. I have a feeling she going through a lot…" he said.

"And I should care, because…? It's not my problem, Miwa" stated Kai.

Miwa could only sigh at Kai's words…

"Misaki-chan! I'll be going now! I loved the dinner you both made for me with love" said Miwa when they reached the door. Misaki sweat dropped and left the men while Kai rolled his eyes.

Miwa laughed and opened the door and bid goodnight. "Okay, Kai. Rukino-san is not here… So don't get cozy-…"

"Complete that sentence and you will be doomed" completed Kai, glaring at Miwa.

"Alright, alright" said Miwa and sweat dropped. "Good night" and he left.

Kai sighed as he sat lazily on the couch in the parlor again. An hour had passed after Miwa left and he was just sitting and reading a file, frowning as it was the file Ren had completed. He closed it and saw the bag Miwa had asked to give to Misaki.

Miwa had left but what he had said irked Kai, slightly, though he tried to shrug the thoughts away. 'Prince charming, eh?'… He was carrying his file and the bag in his hands, slightly surprised that Asaka had sent it.

He saw that most of the lights of the house had been turned off. He knocked on Misaki's door but he got no answer so he opened the door and went inside but he saw no Misaki. He kept the bag on her bed and went outside.

He was about to open his bedroom door when he heard something crash downstairs followed by more noise.

Kai ran through the hallway towards the source of the noise. 'Don't tell me Tokura is behind this… Or did someone break in…?' he thought and found out that the noise came from kitchen as he skipped some stairs in a hurry.

He entered the kitchen and saw a silhouette of a person carrying something in their hand and someone on the floor. He was instantly behind the standing person and grabbed him from the back, trapping him with his arms which caused the person drop the thing in his hand on the floor that made a 'clink'-ing noise… when suddenly the lights were switched on, blinding Kai for a moment.

"Hey! I found the robe!" came a voice, near the switch board.

Kai raised his eyebrows as he looked down, surprised. "Wha-…?"
