If there are any mistakes, I apologize, and please don't flame. If there are, please do PM me and I'll fix my errors. Thank you and enjoy!
Note: English is my second language!
I don't want to hurt the UsuiXMisaki fans out there, but I want to try and see if Misaki Ayuzawa is capable to be a StarForce member, and have Tendou in Usui's place.
I don't own Megaman nor Maid-Sama except the transformation, new characters, and new Battle Cards.
Chapter 5: First Shop Sitting / Stalker Case
The Stelar's house
Tendou was already prepared for school as he ate his toast.
The 38-year-old Geo had a newspaper in his hands and noticed something that caught his attention. "Hey guys, look at this." he called his family, placing the newspaper on the table.
The Stelar family looked at the headline on the newspaper. It was "Stalker Case Alert!".
"That's insane! What kind of sickos would go after girls at the cosplay cafés?" Sonia asked in disgust.
"Oh my, what's going on in this generation?" Hope had a worried look on her face.
"Don't worry, honey. Let's not forget our grandson is the crime-fighting Megaman. Isn't that right, Tendou?" Kelvin patted his grandson's back.
"I'm okay with that. Kaa-san, Tou-san, you two used to fight crimes in the past, have you?" the spiky brown-haired asked his parents.
"Sorry, Tendou, we've never done that before. We saved the world four times, but fighting crime was never one of them." Geo answered.
"Say Tendou, what about Misaki? You think she'll be all right from the stalker?" Sonia asked her son.
"That I need to confirm it myself." Tendou drank a glass of water and stood up, putting on his black jacket before grabbing his backpack. "I'm leaving." he proceeded to the front door.
On the way
Tendou couldn't help but worried if the stalker's next target would be at Maid Latte.
"Master Tendou, are you alright? You seem troubled." Draco asked from his Hunter-VG.
"Just wondering if the stalker will make his move at Maid Latte."
At the roof of Seika High
Tendou was meditating by calming his mind, letting the cool air flow. Suddenly, a loud voice was heard and he lost his focus.
"*sigh* Great... " he got up and scanned the field to find where that loud voice came from. He saw an opened door and the racket came from there. "What's going on over there?" he questioned himself and leaped off the roof, landing safely on the ground.
Misaki lifted the last guy in the air with her frenzy rampaging aikido attack and tossed him at the mountain of unconscious male students from the Student Council.
"Kaichou, please go easy on them." Yukimura pleaded, keeping his distance from her.
"Was that everyone making such a racket in the Student Council Room?" she questioned at the pile of male corpses.
"Y-Yes... "
"We're sorry... "
"Sorry, Kaichou... "
"If you've got nothing better to do than yap in the Student Council Room, go home and study!" she shouted in anger.
"Y-Yes, ma'am... "
"What the hell just happened?"
Misaki turned to see Tendou at the door, who looked dumbfounded.
"N-New kid? Where did you come from?" Yukimura gaped at his arrival.
"Ummm, outside. Where else?" the spiky brown-haired simply answered the dark green-haired. "Anyways, can someone fill me in what's going on?" he asked.
"Well, Tendou, those dead boys you see were slacking off when I wasn't around yesterday during, uhh... you know what." Misaki explained with a hint.
"I see. Say, what did you just use on them?" he asked.
"Aikido! It's my specialty!" Misaki answered proudly.
"Aikido, huh? Then, you also know the basic of fighting, do you?" he asked again, taking off his black jacket.
"Is that a challenge?" she questioned with a smile, cocking an eyebrow at him.
"I prefer to call it a little sparring time." Tendou corrected her, "Hold this." he gave his jacket to Yukimura.
"Uhh... O-Okay." the dark green-haired took it in his arms.
The pile of injured boys noticed this and immediately got back up.
"Ooooh! What's this! ? New kid's challenging the Kaichou! ?"
"No way! That's a first!"
"I'm betting on the Kaichou!"
"How the heck did they get their energy back after you tossed them like that?" Tendou questioned in confusion.
"I have no idea." Misaki mumbled.
Shrugging that off, Tendou formed his fighting stance as Misaki did the same.
"H-Hajime (Begin)!" Yukimura announced nervously.
Tendou charged forward and launched his right fist at her, but Misaki dodged it by backing away. Next, he used his left, but she dodged it again. He raised his right leg and gave her a swift kick, but the latter managed to block it by using her left arm.
"Wow, he's strong!" She complimented his fighting skill, but knew it wasn't the right time to admire him. Misaki pushed his leg away and prepared to retaliate. She launched her fists at him at a rapid speed, then widened her eyes in disbelief. "No way!" He was blocking her attack.
Tendou easily deflected her punches by smacking her fists away one after another. He could read her like a book with his sharp eyes.
Misaki backed away and panted for a moment. "How... ? Just how good is he?" she questioned thoughtfully in surprise.
Tendou didn't break a sweat and calmly maintained his stance. "I guess my seven years of training really paid off. Is that all you can do? A frontal attack? I know you can better than that!" he taunted her.
A tick mark appeared on her head. "OH YEAH! ! Watch this!" she charged at him.
Tendou prepared to counterattack her, but she suddenly went down. Misaki swept her right leg under his legs, tripping him; she smiled. Taken by surprise, he quickly planted his right palm on the ground and thrust it, sending himself to the air.
"What the!" Misaki shot her eyes in astonishment.
"Whooooooaaaaa!" the group of male students was surprised in awe.
Her opponent safely landed on the wooden floor. "Wow, Misaki, you really surprised me." he remembered she used the same sweeping kick on the four Noise Jammers, and nearly died that night. Clearly, he wouldn't fall for that.
Misaki stood up with her eyes wide. "That's impossible... he... he actually... " Unable to focus on the spar, Tendou was already running towards her.
"Time for my favorite move!"
"Oh no!" Misaki got her sense back, but she was too late.
Tendou stopped in front of her with his opened right hand and palm grabbed her stomach firmly before lifting her in the air. "MEGA FINGAA (MEGA FINGER)! !" he called out his signature attack.
The boys cheered with stars in their eyes.
"OH MY GOD! ! THERE IT IS! !"
"NEW KID ACTUALLY USED THE BAKUNETSU GODDO FINGAA (God Finger / Erupting Burning Finger) FROM G GUNDAM ON THE KAICHOU! !"
(It's either "Gotudo" or "Goddo". That's how you say "God" in japanese romaji. I learned that from G Gundam.)
"AAAAAAAAHHH! !" Misaki shrieked in fright and grabbed his right forearm tightly to keep herself still. "TENDOU, PUTMEDOWN! ! PUTMEDOWN! ! PUTMEDOWN! ! PUTMEDOWN! ! PUTMEDOWN! !" she demanded hastily.
Tendou obeyed and carefully placed her feet on the floor. Misaki panted heavily from being lifted in the air all of a sudden, still holding his right arm. She had no idea he had that kind of strength.
"You okay, Misaki? Was that a bit too much?" he asked in concern.
"T-Tendou... what you just did... was crazy... !" her body trembled.
"Sorry, got carried away." he noticed her hands were still holding his arm, "You can let go of me now."
"Oh, okay... " Misaki grew a smirk on her face; it was her chance. "NOT! !" her left hand firmly held his right wrist and her right hand grabbed his collar, lifting him in the air with her signature aikido throw and removing her grips. Without realizing, she accidentally tossed him at the wall. "ACK! ! OH NO, TENDOU! !" she gaped at her mistake.
Tendou narrowed his eyes and quickly made his reflex as he set his feet on the wall. Bouncing away, he back rolled in the air and landed on the wooden floor.
"Whew... your aikido throw sure was something." he turned to her and paused at the sight.
Misaki, Yukimura, and the rest of the male students deadpanned, dropping their jaws to the ground in disbelief. Yukimura dropped the book and his black jacket to the floor.
"Oh crap, I did it again!" he shouted inwardly.
"T-T-T-TENDOU, WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT! ? NO NORMAL PERSON CAN BOUNCE OFF THE WALL LIKE THAT! ! ESPECIALLY MY AIKIDO! !" Misaki pointed directly at him.
"Uhhh... well... uhhhh... T-That was... uhhh... " the spiky brown-haired couldn't form a word and began to sweat badly, but only had four words to say. "I'll take my leave!" he quickly grabbed his black jacket and fled.
There was nothing, but silence in the room.
Everyone had no idea what was with him.
Misaki began to find him even more suspicious.
Behind the school
The faucet was turned on as Tendou splashed some cold water on his face and panted heavily.
"I can't believe I did it again... Me and my Megaman habit!" he muttered.
Draco turned the faucet off. "Master Tendou, for seven years you have become Megaman, but school activity was never you are best at."
"I know that, Draco. It's so hard to fit in. Kaa-san and Tou-san did way better than me when they were in high school. They managed to fit in along with Omega-Xis and the others."
"I'm not sure how to make a comment for that, Master Tendou. Remember, I am an Imagin, not a human being nor an EM Wave Lifeform." Draco corrected him.
"*sigh* I wish the present was more like the past." he sat on the bench and stared at the blue sky, remembering the fun time he had with the younger StarForce's timeline by using DenLiner. "Was it right for me to be born in this generation?" he questioned sadly.
"What was that, Master Tendou?"
"Nothing. Get back inside my Hunter-VG, Draco. My next class is starting soon."
"Hai." Draco nodded and turned himself into a ball of light, entering his Hunter-VG.
After school
The Moron Trio happily skipped their way out of the school building.
"Yay, it's after school! Yahoo!" they exclaimed in unison.
"Ikkun, how much do you have on you?"
"20 yen."
"What about you, Shiroyan?"
"80 yen. You, Kurotatsu?"
"I have 15 yen."
"So the three of us together... How much do we have?"
"I think... 115 yen?"
"Ehhh? Then we can't even order a cup of coffee."
Their happy mood suddenly turned depressed, walking the road at a slow pace.
"Let's just go home today. Dang."
In the Student Council Room
Misaki managed to finish the entire document with her monstrous energy. Yukimura was amazed to see the document done by sunset.
"Finished!" she said with a proud smile and both hands on her hips.
"Thank you very much, Kaichou!"
"Good work, Yukimura."
"Um, Kaichou... about new kid... is there something strange about him?" the dark green-haired asked.
Dropping her smile, Misaki was still freaked out about Tendou earlier. "Hmm, indeed... Ever since he entered Seika High, he's becoming more stranger and stranger by the day. Don't worry, Yukimura. I'll keep an eye on him." she assured, patting his shoulder.
That night at Maid Latte
"I can't believe it... Those two are actually here? Even at night?" Misaki questioned in disbelief.
On the table, Tendou was eating an Omelet Rice and Draco was drinking a cup of coffee.
She turned away to greet a new customer in a kind tone before guiding him to a table.
Draco took a sip from his cup of coffee and noticed a table at the corner. There were two men looking at Misaki: one was a chubby guy who had black hair, a pair of small rounded glasses, a red sweater, and brown pants, and the second was tall with neck-length brown hair, black shirt, and blue pants. He saw the chubby guy picked up a spoon and dropped it on the floor.
"Hmmm?" he noticed something odd about it.
Misaki walked to that table and knelt down to pick up the spoon. "I'll bring you a new one right away."
"Arigato (Thank you), Misa-chan." the thin one thanked her.
"Master Tendou." he called his partner in a whisper.
"I know. He did it on purpose." Tendou looked at them with dagger eyes.
Much later
Maid Latte was closed.
The staffs finished their shift and were readied to leave.
"See ya." Honoka bid goodbye to her friends, heading to the back door.
"Good work." Misaki, Erika, and Subaru replied.
"San-cho sure is late today." Erika said worriedly.
"Well, she's at the shopping district's meeting. Can't do much about that." Subaru replied.
"Why did it have to be on a day like this?" the auburn-haired woman's face turned blue.
"Do you have to do stuff, too, Erika?" the long green-haired asked her friend.
"I have a mountain of untouched assignments due tomorrow." Erika slumped against the locker, "I don't think I can get it done. Do you have something, too, Subaru?" she asked her friend.
"I have another job after this." Subaru answered nervously.
"Wow, what a hard worker."
"Go ahead." Misaki spoke, causing the two to face her. "You two can leave. I'll let her know." she offered.
"Misa-chan, are you sure?" they asked in surprise.
"Yes. Leave it to me!" Misaki replied spiritedly.
"Thank you, but I'm a little worried to leave you alone." Subaru said sadly, turning to Erika.
"Especially with those dangerous cases happening lately."
"Don't worry. If a stranger shows up, I'll subdue them." Misaki balled her right hand into a fist.
"Are you sure it'll be fine?" Erika asked the younger girl in a worried tone.
"Yep."
"Then I guess we'll take your offer." Subaru accepted.
"Thanks a bunch." Erika thanked Misaki as the two left the building.
Maid Latte was dark and quiet.
Misaki checked all the doors, and they were perfectly locked. "The front door... locked. Check." she nodded in approval and turned her back to see how quiet it was with no one around but herself. She stretched her arms in the air and waited for her manager to return.
Suddenly, a flush was heard, startling Misaki. She nearly shivered and had no idea how they manage to sneak in. She swore all the doors were locked. Gulping, she decided to go for it.
It's do or die!
She slowly proceeded her way to the bathroom and readied to take the stalker down with her aikido. Standing in front of the bathroom doorway, she could see the light was still on from the floor. The doorknob began to turn slowly as Misaki made her stance, preparing to give that stalker a good beatdown.
The door finally opened.
Misaki charged at him with a roar.
"DAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! ! !" It was Tendou, who screamed in fright.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! !" Then, Misaki screamed back.
The two panted, taking their time to calm down.
"Misaki, what the hell were you doing! ? Trying to give me a heart attack! ?" he questioned loudly.
"I thought you were a stalker! Wait a minute, why are you still here! ?" she countered.
"Thanks to the Omelet Rice I just ate, I had a bathroom problem." he noticed the entire room was pitch-black, "What the? It's closed already! ?"
"A little slow." Misaki slapped the air in a comedian (in One Piece style) and guided him to the entrance.
"I'll see you tomorrow then." Tendou walked to the door and stopped, "Before I go, I need to warn you about something." his voice sounded serious and turned to face her. "You need to stay high alert on the stalker. They know how to pick a lock."
"Huh?"
"During our little spar this afternoon, I didn't expect you were that strong - especially your aikido throw. Don't forget, the stalkers are targeting girls. Misaki, you are a girl, too, you know?" he finished sternly.
Misaki frowned at him. Those four words came right out of his mouth made her mad. "Tendou, what kind of a warning is that! ? I know I'm a girl! I can take care of myself! You think I don't know that! ?" she raised her voice at him. "To think I thought you were a nice guy, but I was wrong!"
"Wait a minute, Misaki, that's not-"
"I'll feel much better if Megaman rescue me!" she slammed the door on him.
Tendou blinked in confusion, frozen. "Uhhh... What did I say?" he questioned to no one. Letting out a sigh of disappointment, he decided to head home, but heard the sound of a can close-by. He walked to the corner and saw two people approaching the back door of Maid Latte. Narrowing his eyes, he recognized them.
They were the same two male customers who intentionally dropped the spoon.
The two men saw a person at the corner and quickly ran away.
Misaki sat on the chair with a frown, and a small red mark on her face. She couldn't believe he would say something like that to her.
"Tendou, you baka."
The Stelar house
Tendou opened the door slowly and saw no one in the living room. He closed the front door at a slow pace as he tip-toed his way to his bedroom. Suddenly, the light was switched on.
"Tendou." Sonia's voice was heard.
"AAAHH! !" he shrieked and saw his mother sitting on the couch with her arms crossed. "Kaa-san, you almost gave me a heart attack!" he tried to lower his voice from waking his father and his grandparents.
"Tendou, it's 11pm, and you should be in bed by now." she said with an unpleasant look on her face, "Were you out hunting for the stalker all night?" she asked him.
"Uhh, well... I-I think I found them, but I'm not sure." he fumbled.
"Let me guess, were you trying to protect Misaki from them?" she asked in a soft tone.
"Huh? N-No, Kaa-san, it's-" he yielded with a sigh, "Yes, I was."
"Sit." she gestured him to sit next to her as he complied.
"Kaa-san, all I wanted for Misaki is to be safe from danger. I don't why she rejected my help. She also said she'll feel much better if Megaman rescue her."
"Let me guess again, you said something stupid without thinking?" Sonia asked again. Tendou stayed silent and lowered his head. She was right as she linked her right arm on his shoulder, comforting her son. "Tendou, you shouldn't force a girl like that. That's not going to work." she noticed his silence continued. "Tendou, remember what happened seven years ago?"
"Kaa-san, we've discussed this before. Seven years ago was nothing but bad memories."
"I know, but I don't want you to jeopardize our StarForce name. You've been Megaman for seven years, but you're not used to girls, are you?"
"This... is my first." he answered truthfully.
"I thought so."
"What do you mean?"
"Your father was like that when we first met." she noticed the time and it was getting late. "We'll talk about it some other time." the mother and son stood up. "And Tendou, did you confirm something about Misaki?" she asked, nearly forgot about it.
"Yeah, I did. She knows how to fight well with her aikido." Tendou answered with a small smile.
"Ohhh~ How interesting! Maybe you can take her to the training room at WAZA HQ next time."
The next day after school
Tendou and Misaki hadn't spoken much to each other. They didn't even spar for another round. He was the first to leave and went on his stalker hunting.
Maid Latte
Misaki noticed Tendou and Draco hadn't shown up. Somehow, she felt a bit peaceful and relaxed.
The chubby guy kept his eyes on her until she passed their table. He made his next move by pushing his glass of orange juice off the table with his right elbow. The glass shattered, causing Misaki to turn at their table.
"Aaaahh! I'm sorry! I hit it with my arm." he faked his apologetic tone.
"I'm sorry. Are you all right?" she asked sincerely.
"Yes."
"I'll bring something to clean up right away."
Misaki had pink kitchen gloves on and picked up the shards of glass on the floor one at a time.
The chubby guy began to assist her. "Here, I'll help." he rolled up his right sleeve and intentionally made her hand touch his little finger. He stopped and eyed at her.
"It'll be dangerous." she warned him in a sweet tone.
"Okay." he yielded.
Once Misaki collected all the shards of glass, she went to the kitchen to dispose them.
The chubby guy and his friend had a pink blush on their faces.
"Misa-chan's perfect." his friend said.
"I don't think I can hold myself back anymore." the chubby loved the sensational feeling due to the small contact.
"Same here."
Nighttime
Megaman (Tendou) knelt on top of the building and scanned the ground for any suspicious activity. He had been searching all day and started to feel tired.
"Where are those bastards?" he started to feel impatient and checked the inbox message on his red lens. "Great... even WAZA HQ has no information about their whereabouts." he said in disappointment. "Guess I'll see how Misaki's doing." he hopped off and flew his way to Maid Latte.
Misaki was all alone at Maid Latte - again. Satsuki requested Misaki to stay for one more night due to another shopping district meeting.
She opened the Anti-Crime Tool and took one out, giving a small tap on her head. Due to the small item, it actually hurt her head. "Ow! Wow, it actually hurts more than it looks." she stated, then heard the sound coming from the back door. "San-cho?" she placed the item back and proceeded her way. "That's strange. I heard the door unlock."
Suddenly, the light was turned off.
Misaki turned her back to see who shut off the light. It was the two male customers from earlier. They were holding a duct tape and a taser in their hands - from the Anti-Crime Tools.
"Misa-chan." the tall one spoke.
"Sorry, but we picked open the door." the chubby one followed.
"Don't move." the tall one showed a taser in his hand, and it was switched on.
"Let's go upstairs." they ordered.
Misaki glared at them, and had no other choice but to obey them.
Outside
Landing on the ground, Megaman (Tendou) wanted to apologize to Misaki, but sadly, Maid Latte was already closed. Before he could cancel his transformation, he saw something on the ground from his red lens. It revealed two men's footprints, leading towards the backdoor.
"Damn! I'm too late!" he knew there was something fishy about those two. They were stalkers the entire time, hiding as regular citizens.
(A/N: In the manga, they were known as "rapists".)
His red lens scanned the doorknob and revealed it was locked. He ran to the front door and scanned it, revealing it was also locked. He ran back to the backdoor and stared at the second-floor windows.
"Misaki, please don't hate me for this." Megaman (Tendou) pleaded, fearing the consequence.
The two men had Misaki on a chair and handcuffed her from behind.
"Misa-chan~ " they had been chanting her name numerous times.
Misaki was about to make her move and give them a taste of her aikido throw.
The window suddenly shattered with a loud crash, causing the three to startle, as the figure landed on his right knee.
The stalkers used their arms to block the glass shards from hitting their eyes. Misaki shut her eyes and faced away from letting the shards hit hers. Soon, she faced forward and slowly opened her eyes.
She didn't expect to see a certain hero arrived - right before her eyes.
The stalkers lowered their arms and couldn't believe their own eyes.
"No way... is that... ?" the tall one asked slowly.
"I... I think it is... "
It was Megaman!
His armors were dark blue. He had wings of Cygnus Noise form. His helmet had no spiky hair. His lens was red, and a silver mask below it. His streamlines were green.
The dark blue armored Megaman stood up and mechanically transformed his right arm into Cannon (from a Battle Card). "NOBODY MOVE! ! HANDS IN THE AIR NOW! !" he ordered harshly and immediately aimed his right armed-cannon at them, holding the right forearm with his left hand.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! ! ! !" the two stalkers and Misaki screamed in terror with their arms in the air. On cue, she broke the handcuffs.
"Not you! I meant those two low-lives!" Megaman (Tendou) corrected her.
"M-Megaman... ? Is it really you... ?" the tall one asked, trembling.
"OF COURSE, IT'S ME! !" he barked at them.
"Are you... actually the real thing?" the chubby one asked second, also trembling.
"OF COURSE, I'M THE REAL DEAL! ! WHO DO YOU THINK I WAS, AN IMPOSTER! ?" he barked again.
"He's real! Megaman's real!" the two dropped the duct tape and taser to the floor and happily approached him with their arms spread out, wanting to give the hero a big hug.
Megaman (Tendou) was disturbed at their happy expressions and fired his right armed-cannon twice at them.
*PEW! !* *PEW! !*
"Megaman, don-" Unable to finish, a blue light shined as Misaki faced away. As the light faded, she turned back and saw the two men covered in ice. "Oh?" She didn't expect Megaman would have a weapon like that. She examined the ice and noticed how shiny it was. Giving it a small touch, she retrieved her finger and realized how extremely cold it was.
The Satella Police was on their way.
After thawing the ice, Megaman (Tendou) brought the two sneezing stalkers outside and tied their arms behind their back.
"So... " Megaman (Tendou) turned to her, but Misaki faced away with a blush.
"I, uh, I want to thank you for saving me... again!" she stuttered, trying to make eye contact with her savior, but couldn't.
"It's no problem. It's my job to keep everyone safe. Glad to see you're unharmed."
Misaki smiled at her savior. Soon, the Satella Police arrived.
"Misa-chan!"
The black-haired girl and Megaman (Tendou) turned around to see her manager finally arrived.
"Sorry, I'm late. AAAAAAHHHH! !" Satsuki's eyes turned into hearts at a certain hero from the past, "OH MY GOD! ! IT'S MEGAMAN! ! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S YOU AFTER 23 YEARS! !" her excitement dropped, noticing something unfamiliar about him. "That's odd, your color is different... you didn't have wings before... And you're a bit taller than I remember. Are you sure you're Megaman?" she questioned, observing his armor.
The dark blue armored Megaman had to do something quick before she found him suspicious. "Oh, look! Duty calls! I've gotta go! It was nice knowing you! See ya!" he quickly leaped in the air and disappeared.
"Uhh... San-cho, was there something different about him?" Misaki asked.
"The Megaman I know wasn't like that. I remember he had spiky hair on his helmet and his color wasn't dark, just blue. He didn't have wings back then. And he wasn't that tall." Satsuki listed.
"Wait a minute, San-cho... if the Megaman you know wasn't this one, then who is that Megaman?" Misaki questioned in confusion.
"Misaki!" The two female turned and saw Tendou approaching the scene. He stopped and panted, catching his breath in an act. "Was... Was that Megaman just now?" he asked.
"Yep, and you missed the best part. Megaman captured the stalkers!" Misaki informed brightly. "And get this, those two were-"
"Hold it!" the spiky brown-haired interrupted her, "Let me handle this." he approached the tied up stalkers.
Misaki thought his voice sounded a bit venomous.
Tendou knelt down to them. "Okay, you two. I wanna know why you were after Misaki." he firmly placed his hands on their shoulders. "Start talking."
"W-Well, despite being a maid... we thought she might be a sadist." the tall one began.
Misaki made an uncomfortable look on her face. Satsuki was disturbed to hear that.
"If that were the case... we wanted her to punish us." the chubby finished.
Now Misaki and Satsuki were freaked out by their confession.
"Huuuuuuuhhhh... " Was all Tendou can say with an unpleasant look, "You wanted Misaki to punish you guys... because you two are masochists?" he questioned uneasily.
"T-That's right."
"We're hardcore."
They admitted with small smiles on their faces.
Tendou's face turned dark and switched his hands from their shoulders to their heads. "You two wanna know what I have to say?" he asked bitterly.
"You're a masochist, too?" they asked happily in unison.
"Wrong." Tendou bashed their heads hard together as if they were crash cymbals. "I'M NOT A SICK PERVERTED MORON LIKE YOU LOSERS! ! WHY SHOULD I BE INTERESTED IN THOSE KINDS OF WEIRD CRAP! ! DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M INTO IT! ? AS IF! ! I HATE THAT KIND OF MEN! ! YOU MORONS SHOULD DEFINITELY GET A BETTER HOBBY THAN STALKING GIRLS! !" he roared at the top of his lungs.
Misaki widened her eyes at his sudden outburst. With a smile on her face, she started to respect him.
"That was good. Please, scold us more!" they pleaded, enjoying the teenager's harsh words.
Tick marks appeared on Tendou's head as he bashed their heads again with more strength, knocking them out cold.
"Take them away!" he ordered one of the Satella Policemen and turned his back, "Seriously, what's with men these days?" he questioned in annoyance, walking back to the girls.
"So Misaki, if Megaman saved you, how did he get in?" Satsuki asked the young girl.
Hearing that question, Tendou froze and began to sweat heavily.
"Uhhh, well, San-cho, you see... " Misaki nervously pointed up.
The dark purple-haired woman looked up to witness a broken window on the second-floor. "Oohhhhhhh~ W-What happened to the window?" she asked blankly, turning pale at the sight.
"That's the thing... Megaman saved me by jumping through." Misaki answered nervously as Satsuki exhaled and fainted on the ground. "Aaahh! San-cho!"
"I should probably keep that to myself. Hope this doesn't show up on TV." Tendou pleaded thoughtfully, still sweating badly.
Several days later
"EEEEEEHHHH! !" Misaki screamed in disbelief to see two certain people in the kitchen, holding a broom in her hands.
Tendou and Draco were working in the kitchen as dishwashers.
"I know, Misa-chan! Can you believe it! ? Tendou and Draco are finally working with us! They volunteered all of a sudden!" Satsuki exclaimed happily.
"H-How did this happen?" Misaki dumbfounded.
"Well, since Megaman is the one who broke the second-floor window, someone has to pay for the damage." Tendou explained.
"What about your parents, Tendou? Are they okay with it?" the black-haired Kaichou asked again.
"Uhh... yeah... They are fine with it." he lied.
*Flashback*
2 days ago
Earlier that morning
"TENDOU STELAR! ! TELL ME YOU DID NOT BUST THROUGH THE MAID CAFÉ'S SECOND-FLOOR WINDOW SO YOU CAN SAVE MISAKI FROM THOSE STALKERS! ?" Sonia furiously grabbed her son and shook him at a rapid speed.
The newspaper's headline was "Stalkers Captured by the hero Megaman!". It had the picture of Megaman, two culprits, and a second-floor broken window of Maid Latte.
"T-The stalkers locked the doors and I couldn't get in... s-so the window was the only way in." Tendou answered sadly, scared stiff.
"THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN JUMP IN AND RESCUE YOUR GIRL THAT WAY! ! EVEN FOR MEGAMAN, IT'S UNNATURAL TO SAVE SOMEONE LIKE THAT! !" she shook him harder than before, "YOU'RE GONNA GET YOUR HERO BUTT IN THAT CAFÉ AND WORK THERE UNTIL THE DAMAGE IS FIXED! ! AND NO, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE YOUR MONEY FROM VIRUS BUSTING! ! YOU ARE GOING TO WORK THERE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON! ! YOU UNDERSTAND, YOUNG MAN! ? REMEMBER TO KEEP IT A LOW PROFILE! ! IT'S FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR IDENTITY AS MEGAMAN, AND THE STARFORCE! !"
*Flashback end*
"Tendou, Megaman's the one who should be responsible for the damage. You don't have to do for him." Misaki pointed.
"I am responsible for the damage. Which means I won't be able to patrol more often!" he thought sadly. "It's better this way. Besides, Megaman is hard to make contact unless there's trouble."
"Draco, can you help me clean the table?" Satsuki called from another room.
"On my way."
And then, it was just the two of them in the kitchen.
An awkward silence was heard.
Misaki held the broom and couldn't think of a word to say to him. Tendou finished the first set of dishes and stayed silent.
They faced each other and started simultaneously.
"Tendou/Misaki I want to apolo-"
They paused.
"No, you first-"
They paused again and looked away shyly.
Another awkward silence.
"Okay, I'll go first!" Tendou inhaled deeply and exhaled, before speaking quickly. "Misaki, I want to apologize for being a bit hard on you. I just want you to be safe as... *gulp* as your bodyguard." he finished while averting his eyes with a small blush.
"Tendou, it's my fault. I'm the one who should be apologizing. I should've listened to you. I really appreciate the help, but remember... I have my aikido, and I know how to use self-defense." she pointed at herself with her right thumb.
"Well, there's more to it than aikido." the spiky brown-haired chuckled.
"Maybe we can spar another time. Oh, speaking of sparring, where did you learn to fight like that? The way you fight seems a bit similar to Megaman back at the School Festival." she realized. "By any chance, are you-"
"Hey, let's get back to work! We don't want San-cho to see us chitchatting here!" Tendou quickly interrupted, washing the next set of dishes.
"DON'T DODGE THE QUESTION! !"
