"…" - Speaking

Chapter 10

No One's POV

Shin Nitta sighed as he entered Tokura Residence. He was thinking what he should do now that he knew where his niece was. Akari had told him that Misaki is staying at Kai Residence which had shocked him to no end. Akari hadn't told him that his niece was working as a maid or Shin would have marched up to Kai's house even if Misaki had told them not to come there.

'At least she is safe and not wandering on streets or anything… But still, I can't approve of her staying in a stranger's house. What's more, she ended up in the house of the one she ran from… I think I should go and meet her. It seems she doesn't want to come back for a while… But Akari-chan told me I can't meet her yet… And why didn't Kai-kun tell me she's with him when I called him the first time…? How did they meet anyway…?' Shin thought as he entered his room.

The grey cat meowed in greeting, getting his attention. It was perched on the desk but jumped on the bed when Shin entered. The cat looked behind Shin, at the door as if expecting someone. Shin shook his head.

"Hey, Assista-cat… Why haven't you eaten yet…?" Shin asked, looking at half-filled dish on the floor.

Shin held the cat in his hands and smiled as he knew the cat was missing Misaki as well. "Well, you know, Misaki is safe…" he said quietly, patting the cat's head and the cat meowed again. It sounded somewhat happy as it jumped and continued eating.

'Oh, I know! I should call Kai and ask him' he decided as he sat on the couch. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed 'Kai Toshiki'.

Kai was sprawled on the couch in the parlor. He stared up at the ceiling. Almost an hour had passed after he told Misaki to help in the kitchen. He closed his eyes and thought back at what she had said… -'I was kind of relieved to see you there'

'I actually felt happy after hearing it from her. Weird… To hear it from a person I don't like… And I was kind of relieved to see her as well… And now there are people who want to abduct her' he thought and closed his eyes. 'Now I remember, she hadn't cleaned my room yet' he recalled when he heard a crash in the kitchen, followed by yelling…

"Ishida Naoki! I told you to handle it carefully!"

"It slipped off my hands, Boss Lady! I m-mean Misaki-san!"

"What did you call me?!"

"Oww! I'm sorry! Help! Granny Glasses! No! Not the kick!"

Kai sighed as he heard the argument coming from kitchen. His house was becoming noisy and he didn't mind it at all. He blinked at that. He was mostly alone and enjoyed his lone time before but now he actually was feeling relaxed, even with the noise.

Misaki came out from the kitchen, muttering something; annoyance written all over her face. Kai, seeing Misaki, shook his head and couldn't help but smirk slightly which didn't go unnoticed by her. 'Now that I think, she mostly shows annoyance to everything' Kai thought while smirking.

"What are you smirking at?" asked Misaki, shooting a glare at him.

"You" replied Kai. "And its Kai-sama to you" he added, a hint of amusement in his voice. He couldn't help but add more annoyance for her. Misaki rolled her eyes, "Yeah-yeah"

"Whatever" muttered Misaki and was about to leave when…

"Bring me a glass of water" said Kai and saw his cellphone ringing on the coffee table across him. "First, fetch me my phone" he added, as he sat up on the couch and stretched his hands lazily. Misaki's eyebrow twitched at the orders.

"You have hands so take your phone yourself which is not far from you by the way. I'm busy" said Misaki as she left while Kai glared at her back. He took his phone and smirked when he saw the caller's name.

Misaki was back with a glass of water and saw Kai talking on his phone. He motioned her to keep the glass on the table and she complied while he continued speaking.

"… She said she's busy"… "Yes. I will tell her, Shin-san"… She heard him speak and end the call.

"Wait!" exclaimed Misaki, frowning at kai. "Was that my uncle Shin?" she asked Kai who leaned back on couch, bored.

"Yes. He wanted to talk to you but you told me you are busy. So…" replied Kai and saw her narrowing her eyes at him.

"How about you call him back?" suggested Misaki, crossing her arms.

"Why should I? And this is how you ask your master, Tokura?" taunted Kai while Misaki gave him a plain annoyed look. And she snapped…

"Men like you make me so angry!" growled Misaki, clenching her fists.

"I don't care. Deal with it as I'm your master" stated Kai and shrugged.

"Just give me the phone, Kai-sama! He must be worried and maybe he met my best friend that's why he called! I told you I'll pay you back everything" said Misaki, as she grabbed the phone in his hand. He was surprised at that.

"Tokura, you'll break it"

"Then let go of it, Kai"

"It's mine. You can't take it! If you want, make a request"

"Fine! I don't want it!" exclaimed Misaki and suddenly let go off the phone.

As Kai was focusing on getting his cell phone back and not expecting her to let go of it so suddenly, he crashed back on the couch behind and hit his head. He was sure she had pushed him back intentionally. 'Serves you right' thought Misaki and smirked.

"You did that on purpose" stated Kai, glaring at her. Misaki shrugged her shoulders.

"May be… And I could always ask Ishida-kun or Shingo-kun" she said smartly as she turned around. 'That woman! How stubborn is she!' he thought, frowning. He sat up straight as he recalled something.

"Stop, Tokura" said Kai but Misaki didn't hear him or… pretended she didn't hear him. 'Never!' thought Misaki, walking ahead but before she could take a third step, Kai grabbed her hand.

"What?!" asked Misaki annoyed, turning around to face him. Kai let go of her hand, his face stoic.

"You haven't cleaned my room. Do it now" stated Kai. Misaki huffed.

"Whatever" she muttered and left.

Kai shook his head at her retreating back. 'I'm beginning to wonder who the Master is here… And why am I not doing anything about this? Why do I put up with her every time' he thought.

"Kai-kun, Kenji-san and Yuri-san are here to see you" said Shingo, appearing in front of Kai who was drinking water.

'Koutei…?' thought Kai and nodded at Shingo. 'He's back…? And why is he here without notifying me beforehand? Don't tell me… Nah, that can't be… He can't be here to ask me about the marriage interview thing' he thought when the blonde haired man appeared in front of him followed by his fiancée.

"Hey, Kai! Long time no see!" greeted Kenji with his cheerful smile as soon as Kai came into view.

"Hello, Kai-kun. Good to see you again!" Yuri followed and smiled.

"Same here" Kai greeted back with a smirk as he shook hands with both the guests. "How are you both doing?"

"We are doing fine. How have you been?" asked Koutei as Kai motioned them to sit on the couch and he sat on the other couch, adjacent to them. Kai shrugged.

"As usual. What brings you here by the way?" asked Kai. Koutei and Yuri glanced at each other than at Kai.

"Well… I just wanted to meet up" replied Koutei and laughed nervously. Yuri sweat dropped while Kai gave him a skeptical look.

"Yeah and Koutei heard from Ren-san that you got rejected so we are here to see how you are doing" explained Yuri and smiled at Kai. 'Great! That Ren!' thought Kai, glaring at nothing in particular.

"That's not a big deal. It doesn't concern me a bit" replied Kai. 'Why is everyone making a big deal of this issue' he thought and sighed.

"We know. We are just curious who that woman is. She must be brave and your anti-fan girl then" said Yuri while Koutei sweat dropped.

"And I thought you were concerned for me" Kai stated, shooting a glare at Kenji.

"I am! But you know… 'Women'…" Koutei replied and air quoted the word 'women' earning a glare from Yuri. "Well…? Did she leave the city? Knowing you, you should have done-…"

"Why does everyone think that? Miwa said that too" interrupted Kai and rolled his eyes.

"Okay, Okay! Anyway, who were you meeting anyway? And did you hear the Tokura heir is missing?" asked Koutei. Kai sighed.

"Misaki Tokura… She is the one I was supposed to meet" replied Kai.

"Wait… you mean, Misaki-chan rejected you?" asked Yuri with wide eyes then she laughed. Kai's eyebrow twitched while Koutei raised his eyebrows. Yuri cleared her throat, "Sorry… Well, I'm not surprised if she rejected the proposal… But then-…"

"Excuse me-…"

"Misaki-chan?!" exclaimed Yuri as she stood up and reached Misaki who was setting the tea tray down on coffee table, wearing the red apron.

"Yuri-chan…?" muttered Misaki, surprised.

"Kai! You kidnapped her?!" exclaimed Yuri while…

"Kai? You married her…?" asked Koutei.

"NO" stated Kai and Misaki at the same time, glaring at each other.

"Do you think he can kidnap someone like me?" asked Misaki, rolling her eyes.

Yuri and Koutei glanced at each other and between Kai and Misaki. They sweat dropped when they saw Kai and Misaki's narrowed eyes.

"Yeah. Why should I kidnap someone like her when I can get any other woman? And marry? Are you kidding me?" said Kai, crossing his arms.

"Says the one who got rejected" countered Misaki, smirking at him.

"Alright! Cut it out. Mind explaining to us?" asked Yuri while Koutei sighed when Misaki turned away from Kai and left the scene. Kai rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I'll talk to Misaki. She looks pretty angry" Yuri added and followed Misaki, shooting a knowing look at Koutei who nodded. Koutei blinked. 'Now how should I continue talking to him? He looks angry as well… And I thought it would be a nice meet up' thought Koutei and sighed.

"So Kai…?" started Koutei and saw Kai shaking his head.

With Misaki and Yuri…

Misaki just explained her situation to Yuri and Yuri intently listened to her ramblings with few complaints about the 'master'. Yuri wanted to laugh but controlled herself.

"I can't put up with him. He always looks down on me for everything!" exclaimed Misaki when Yuri tried to talk to her about Kai. Yuri put hands up in defense when Misaki glared at her.

"Does he even know who he speaks with? Great! I wanted freedom but now he holds my freedom! Now I can't leave this place without his permission. Yuri-chan… if he continues this, I might kill him" said Misaki, glaring at nothing in particular.

Yuri sweat dropped. 'They both have so much pride! No wonder they don't understand each other… Besides, Kai-san is always mistaken because of his cold personality' she thought and sighed.

"Misaki-chan… It's hard for him to express his feelings and his friends know that. You will understand if you try to know him"

"I don't want to know him. I know by now, he's conceited. Sometimes he acts good then he's back again with his 'I'm so great' attitude"

"Uhh… then try to act friendly?" suggested Yuri. Misaki sighed and looked aside. "Well… you know, try to act cute and smile more. Then you'll see the effect" Yuri added and smirked mentally. She could see Misaki pondering over her suggestion.

"That is really hard, Yuri… but I could try. Your suggestion always works" said Misaki and smirked as if planning something. "Anyway, please don't tell anyone I'm staying here" she added and smiled at Yuri who nodded. "Hey, I need to call Shin-san!" she recalled.

"Here you go!" Yuri handed her cell phone to Misaki and smiled. Misaki took it gratefully and smiled as she called her uncle.

An Hour Later…

Yuri and Kenji left few minutes ago and Kai was lying on his bed in his room. He was pondering over Kenji and his conversation.

"…You do know, she's here just because she has no other choice? And it doesn't change the fact that she's a Tokura heir. Also, there are people who are searching for her… There must be a lot of things going on with her…"

"Yeah. But I'm not interested to get involved in her matter"

"Well… if you know why she's staying here, then you are already involved"

Kai sighed. 'I just wanted to get back at her… But I guess, there is a lot more going on… judging from her being scared earlier. This is such a pain…' he thought, annoyed when a knock was heard…

"What is it?" asked Kai.

"May I come in Kai-sama…" came Misaki's voice. Kai blinked and sat up on the bed, grunting a "Hm"

Misaki entered with cleaning supplies in both of her hands. She was not glaring but had a neutral expression. 'I need to smile! Smile!' she chanted in her mind then sighed. 'I… can't when he's in front of me'

"I'm here to clean the room" she said, looking at him while Kai stared at her. She felt awkward and turn aside but still felt his gaze. 'Why isn't he leaving the room? And what's with the staring! It's getting annoying…' she thought but continued to work.

Kai raised an eyebrow at her as she started dusting the furniture. He noticed the awkwardness in her moments. 'What's gotten in her…? She's working without glaring and complaining' he thought and shrugged.

Fifteen minutes passed in silence and Misaki working… 'Is she ignoring me…?' thought Kai, looking at her.

"Arrange those files" he stated, pointing at desk.

"Yes, Kai-sama"

Silence…

"And… change the covers"

"Yes, Kai-sama"

Silence…

"Kai-sama, its lunch time… Proceed to the dining room" stated Misaki, holding new covers in her hands.

"Uhh… We'll eat together then" he said without thinking. Misaki looked at him surprised. "I mean including Naoki and Shingo. It's boring to eat alone" he added as he stood up from the bed.

"As you wish, Kai-sama" said Misaki, smiling. Kai looked at her surprised then exited his room, shaking his head.

'This is starting to creep me out. She is obeying me… it's is kind of weird. What happened…?' thought Kai, running a hand through his hair while walking through the hallway.

Misaki walked through the hallway, giggling. "…Now he'll be thinking deeply and get annoyed and disturbed, thinking all day why am I behaving nicely, haha!" she said and smirked. She walked; humming all the way…

Unknown to her, Kai was leaning on the wall around the corner. He smirked as he had heard her.

'So this is what you planned, Tokura… Two can play the game…' he thought as his smirk widened.

To be continued…
