'####'-Thoughts
"####"- Talking
At Seika High:
There is the sound that made the demon president jolt from her seat. It was past 5 in the evening and technically no one's around in the school except the raven hair girl while Yukimura and Kanou left few minutes ago.
Ayuzawa Miskai who is going to work for another whole hour, decided to check the unknown sound.
She made her way towards that noise, walking through the empty hallways. Her hair swayed with evening summer breeze. "No doubt it's so hot out there," She murmured to herself unknown to the uninvited trouble ahead.
Walking past all the classrooms, she properly checked the door everywhere and then proceeds to upstairs. As it is the last floor to rooftop, she checked all the classrooms while her eyes focused on the door of class 2B.
She tried to remove all the stickers embedded on the door. "They have to pay for this," She growled and almost imagined tomorrow's scenario. Then she went to the washroom to fetch some water so it can be any help to remove the firm stickers.
Her eyes fell on the messy floor and as president, her reflex mode got 'on' to clean the mess. That banging sound repeated again that made her drop the mop, looked behind and confirmed it was the sound from the washroom door.
She proceeds towards the door to fix it. Sighed a little, the brunette removed the attached magnet at the door knob. "What actually are they planning to do here?" She mentally questioned herself and that's it! With a crack sound the door locked perfectly. Well, EXTRA PERFECTLY.
"What?" She tried. "What the hell!" She forbids swear but the situation saying it all. That's it. She was inside, perfectly locked. Well she continued her duty to clean the floor kicking the thought of being locked.
Maid Latte:
"Usui-san, the customer needs a parcel of strawberry cake; do you think you can make it?" Manager asked an absent minded Usui.
"Yes, but it'll take 30mins," Usui replied not so interested.
Satsuki looked at his bored face and laughed a little. "Usui-san, I can understand but trust me, she always put her work as top most priority."
Usui looked at manager with an apologetic face "Manager, Sorry for my rude action." Usui bowed and back to his work. Satsuki smiled and left the kitchen.
Usui Pov:
"Why she always has to be on her own? Can't even share the time! Such a stubborn girl." Usui thought to himself. "If it's not for today, I had to go to meet my half-brother to settle some paperwork. It even cost me to skip the school but at least I thought I can make it up to Ayuzawa at Maid Latte but..." He sighed and completed the final touch to the cake.
At SeikaHigh:
"What a great day." She heaved a sigh. "It's no use, that's why the magnet was here," She mentally kicked, "I guess they're not always wrong after all," she realized that not always it's their fault as the boys use this magnet to avoid unwanted lock.
For a second, she thought to give a call to Yukimura and checked her skirt pocket. "Great!" She laughed. Of course the demon president left all of her belongings at student council room.
It's past 6 in the evening and she can't be here for long. She can see the crimson red coloured sky through the vent and a small window. 'One kick and the door will be at the floor.'
She backed away to make the move. 'Dham!, I did it.' She laughed evilly. Soon a paper fell on her head written '500¥ fine.' She jerked from her daydream and sighed. "Guess I can't do that."
She looked at the toilet vent tiptoed and tried to call for someone but it's no use. And the small window was not any help also. She was on the 2nd floor washroom.
She took a step forward and tried turn the door knob again. "I just have to-" She gritted her teeth. "- put some extra power." She failed again. Her hand got redden but the door didn't budge a bit.
She sat on the floor leaning against the door. How she managed to work overtime and got the day off just to finish the paperwork and here goes all her time. Soon darkness covered outside. 'And the day passed,' She thought and felt the urge to scream but her energy level was getting down. She stood up, gulped a handful of water from the tap to regain her strength.
The dark washroom matched the outside as the switches were off which were outside for safety. The summer heat also not helping her. Anger mixed with fear dominating her slim feature. Cleaning the floor in a locked room was also a bad idea. She tried another gulp of water and she puked all the liquid. 'Water in empty stomach not any help at al.' She sighed and waited for an absolution.
Ayuzawa's Residence:
"Suzuna, pass the box here." Minako's voice heared from the kitchen room as they are doing some shifting.
"Mom, can I do the other work after one-chan's return, I've to unpack the boxes from today's prize." Suzuna asked her mom. Minako nodded while Suzuna went to her room.
Minako looked at the clock '7.15pm' She sighed, 'Misaki sure needs some rest, working hard at this age isn't fair.' She thought with a guilt in her chest.
At Seika High:
The shower water rushed all over her body. She has to stay strong. Darkness not fully covered the night as the small ray of moonlight coming through the vent. She is in shower for an hour but the after bath fumes took her all breathing. Hair drenched, uniform stick to her porcelain skin, laying on the floor, the demon president couldn't think any other way to be hydrated except soaking wet. Her vision got blurry half from the growing hunger and other from the summer heat.
'Mom and Suzuna must be worried sick.' She cursed herself for making everyone worried. 'That idiot didn't come to school today, he is not the person to skip school unless it's most important.' She totally defeated by the situation. "Somebody, anybody please come. God please do the needful." She thought loud.
She turn off the shower. Not so long after, the room filled with hot fumes which suffocates her even more.
She picked up the mop and tried to break the glass that was attached to the door. But man does the situation cooperating her? She felt drowsy. A big sigh came from her mouth and soon her eyes gave away to the state of unconsciousness.
At Maid Latte:
Satsuki rushed to kitchen where the green eyed feature finished the last course and was removing his apron. "Usui-san, sorry for asking this but can you please stay here until I return?" The manager said with a worried face.
"Sure manager, but what happened? You look scared." Usui questioned with a caring tone.
"Mrs. Ayuzawa called and told me if Misa is in Maid Latte. She called her but Misaki isn't picking her phone. I made an excuse as she trusted her daughter to me." Satsuki retrieve her purse. "If you don't mind, I've to go check on Misa in her school." She completed and slipped in her shoes.
"I do mind for sure." Usui's worried sick voice made her stop. "Manager, I'll go with you. It's my responsibility too." Usui exclaimed with a stern voice.
Satsuki smiled. "Usui-san I thought you are already gone through much today so-"
"It can never be 'much' for Ayuzawa. Let's go." Usui stated by locking the café door. Satsuki tagged along with him thanking God for a helping hand.
On the way:
"Manager what did you say to Mrs. Ayuzawa?" Usui asked.
"I lied that she's with me." Satsuki replied with teary eyes.
"Its' okay manager, you don't want her mom to get worried." Usui calmed her. "Ayuzawa never does anything to make people worry, something's not good." He said with monotone. "Or she is getting damn careless lately." He thought loud.
"Be safe Misa-chan." Satsuki sad tone heard.
'You've got to be safe Ayuzawa.' The blond haired boy thought to himself. Deep inside he's getting scared.
At Seika High:
The two runners reached the school gate which were still open giving them the confirmation about '-her' inside the school. Usui soon lighten the hallways and went to student council room with Satsuki following behind.
Satsuki phoned Misaki and they can hear her cell's ringing from the student council room. They checked the room. Everything was there except for the said person.
"Ayuzawa," Usui's voiced echoed in the empty hallways.
"Misaki, are you in there?" Satsuki checked all the classrooms.
Not getting a single answer from her, Usui went upstairs while Satsuki still looking for all classrooms.
The green-eyed blond checked all the classrooms. His strength giving in with fear. Scared from the thought that one day out of sight might converted to out of control and to the extend of losing it.
"Prez! Answer me," Though Usui knew very well that Misaki would never be here in this dark hallway. Soon his thoughts were disturbed by the sound of running water from the washroom. Not wasting a second, he rushed to the washroom which was closed yet dark inside.
He banged the door tried to open the door; the so-called miserable door. "Damn!" He tried gritting his teeth. He got the scenario. "Prez! You hear me? Open up." He switched the light on and look passed the glass attached to the door. Eyes wide, oh man, does his heart miss a bit?
"Ayuzawa!" He screamed with horror and it took him a second to kick the door open. Satsuki heard the noise and followed it quickly.
Usui picked Misaki's helpless body from the wet floor and sat her head on his lap. "Ayuzawa, answer me. Say something." When he tried to rub her cold hand, afraid to lose her pulse, Satsuki ran to them and looked at Misaki's weak feature. "Misa-chan! Hang in there." Just like a mother's instinct, she rub her wet hair back. Time stopped for a moment for both of them. They both are terrified at that moment. But one has to act as soon as possible. "Usui-san," Satsuki pat Usui's back as he sat there with horror. He looked back at Manager. Satsuki had never seen the so-called perfect Usui Takumi's this worried-horror-sad face. "Let's take her to a dry place." She managed to utter the obvious.
As a matter of fact, the green-eyed boy acted accordingly picking her thin body to his chest as if severing for her dear life.
Settling her down to a desk of the nearest classroom, they both tried to rub her hand and legs. The warmth of their hands, helped Misaki to regain her consciousness and also the outside air made her lungs a little lively.
"Misa-chan! We got you. Don't worry, I talked to your mom." Satsuki exclaimed knowing her worry.
"Thank... You Manager," She tried to sit up but a strong hand blocked. "Ayuzawa just lie down and take a deep breath." She looked at the worried green pair of eyes and she followed. NO question, NO argument, NO protest, NO glaring. She has been checked and that's enough for the great day.
After a brief period of about 25Mins., the demon president made it. She managed to sit still in her drenched uniform.
"What happened?" Usui asked.
"The door locked." She replied.
"But you just had to give a kick prez!" Usui exclaimed as he knew her demonic strength.
"I can't afford the cost so-"
"So you choose to death out of suffocation?" Usui completed her mostly questioned her with slight annoyance.
Satsuki looked at the time its past 10.30. "We can't take you home at this state of yours Misa."
"She is coming with me." Usui stated as it is the natural solution to that. The manager smiled.
"NO! Mom will be worried sick." Misaki blurted out loud.
"She already was worried about you Misaki but I said you are staying in my place." Satsuki told her. "What do you think, if your mom looked at this state of yours." She sounded like her older sister.
"Usui-san rest up to you, I've to go it's late." Manager said picking her bag.
"I am sorry manager," Misaki said guilty built in her chest for making everyone worried.
"You must be Misa. Next time do give more priority to your safety, it affects so many people mostly those who are dear to you." She completed looking at the blond stood beside them.
The blushed raven hair girl nodded.
"Manager are you okay with going alone at this hour?" Usui asked.
"I already texted Aoi-chan to pick me up. He probably at the nearest park." She stated back. "Don't worry Misa I won't tell him. This time you are free from his lecture." She winked. "Be safe you two," By that she left.
Silence filled the room until her growling stomach broke it. Usui removed his shirt and placed it around her shoulder. He helped her standing but as soon as her legs touched the floor, it gave away. Quickly, the strong pair of hands balanced her.
She tried to say something but soon she was being pulled to his chest with a gentle hug. "Why?" He finally threw the words from his shivering lips. She couldn't gather the sudden change. "Usui?" She tried to ask.
"Why you always have to be on your own? What if I lose you? What if I couldn't make it up to you today?" He blurted out his fear tightening his hug as if he can't give a thought of losing her.
The situation is not helping her either. It's totally her fault though, making everyone worried for some damn high price-fine. Who said she has to pay? It's called self defence.
"I am sorry Usui." She can only come up with these words for the time being. Only these three surrender words can calm him down. She reciprocate the gesture by hugging him back.
They parted after a minute as it is not the time to deal with all other emotions. "Let's go." Usui helped her to walk downstairs. She managed but still she got almost no strength.
Takumi retrieved all her belongings from student council room and pulled it to his back. He locked the door, switched off the lights. They reached the school gates with hands intertwined.
Guilt overtaking her as she did something silly. How she choose to wait for someone only to avoid the payment. "Usui," She stopped. I'm sorry I won't do it again." She stated with repend.
The said person looked back. Damn his eyes saying it all. His face covered with fear as if he totally defeated to her against her actions. Not able to take any pressure further, she tried to come up with something, some reassuring words or may be to avoid the situation or to balance the situation. Anything but this. His worried face is intolorable, it's piecing her heart.
"I can umm...go home instead." She tried. "You already had en ouf...ffh-"Soon her words muffled inside her mouth.
He kissed her hard, hands on her waist pulling her closer as if he is tired of being giving her advices. It was a chaste kiss. He poured all his fear, horror and not to mention his emotion, to this, kiss. Yes he was scared to death after looking at her thin feature lying at the washroom floor. He deepen the kiss practically telling her how scary the situation was. After a long brief moment they both need the air to breathe.
The brunette stood there blushed to cherry red. "You must be sorry Ayuzawa," She looked at his glowing green pair of eyes when his grave tone heard. "It almost killed me by looking at your state. What you are expecting? Me to be gentle or harsh with your so damn action?" He asked her yet giving all the answers. Misaki never face his this reaction. She felt the tinging sensation in her heart. "I...I won't do it I promise." She said with an obvious tear in her eyes.
He came closer so that his breath can be feel by her cheek. He cupped her face. "How long have you been there?" He asked gently.
"After 5 I suppose," She replied looking at his worried face.
His eyes got the large size then he furrowed his brows, blew some cool air from his mouth to make her feel better.
"You do miss me." He shuttered near to her cheek, kissing the stray drop of tear that was going to drop from her left eye, he picked her bridal style. She did't protest as if she is surrender for her mistake. Her heart was practically jumping in her chest. If it's not for the stridulating sound of crickets, her heart can be play like a drum. Sure she missed this person. Her alien.
She can't protest as there is no strength left in her system. Clenching her fist to his inner T-shirt, she buried her face to his chest saying "You caught me idiot."
"Always!" He replied to her 'so truthful sentence' of the day. (/night).
Carrying her protectively, he headed towards his apartment sharing his sweet smile with her.
