A/N Thank you so much for your kind review Mady. *cries* And don't worry, I don't plan on putting this on hiatus because I am really enjoying writing it. I'll make sure to post at least one chapter a week at the very least and it will normally be about everyday or every other day that I update. Enjoy~

Btw, yes Kailey can speak German. She can speak a lot of languages, actually. Her father made sure of that. German and Russian are her two favorite that she knows.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! I only own my own original characters and the writing in this story.

Chapter 9; What is this? A Date?

He looks at her face then, seeing the sorrow in her eyes. Her voice sounds raw when she speaks again, staring out her bedroom window into the moonlit sky, "Happy birthday, mama. I miss you..." With that, she sunk back down to the ground and started crying. At that sight, Tora turned swiftly around and left, locking the door behind him. She would not know he was there and the last thing he would hear from her that night was the sound of her heart-breaking sobs. The sobs of a little girl who wanted her mothers' loving embrace but had had that gift wrenched away from her.

/~;~\

Kailey wakes up to the persistent sound of her buzzing phone. She growls in annoyance, answering the phone. "Hello?" her voice comes over groggily, obvious that she was just waking up.

"Good morning, princess." the voice purrs over the phone. "Did you sleep well?"

Her mood darkens when she recognises the voice, "Why are you calling me at 5 in the morning, Igarashi-kun?" she growls at him.

She can hear his laughter over the phone. "Well I figured you haven't really been showed around the town yet. Plus I have to make sure you go to the auditions like you promised. Get dressed. I'll pick you up in 30 minutes."

"Igarashi, wa-" she begins in a flurry but he already ended the call. Making a frustrated noise, she crawls out of bed to get ready.

/~;~\

Thirty minutes later, the buzzer near her door rings and she answers it.

"Silvermorthnone-sama, a Tora Igarashi says he is here to see you. May I send him up?"

She makes an annoyed noise-about the 50th she had made since getting his call at 5. It's 5:30 in the morning...and he is dragging me out to show me around... She pushes the button to respond back, "Yes, go ahead and send him up."

After a few minutes, she hears a knock on her door and goes to open it, staring at the boy in front of her through narrowed eyes. He was dressed in black dress pants, a black button up shirt, and a golden tie. "Igarashi-kun."

He smirks at her, taking in her attire. She was dressed in a short black and red plaid skirt, a corset-like tank top a deep red in colour, and her black knee-high leather boots. Her hair was adorned by a black and red ribbon. He smirks at her, enjoying the sight of how her outfit emphasised her breasts and other attributes and curves. "Good morning Kailey-chan. Shall we go?" he offers his arm to her.

He infuriated her but at the same time he enjoyed their time together...Not a lot, but just enough that it made her curious. Pelevea walks out of her bedroom and stares at Igarashi. He goes to touch Kailey and she growls, stepping towards him. His eyes widen slightly and he takes a step back, out the door.

Kailey laughs, sitting back so she is in a crouching position. "Come here sweetheart." Pelevea walks over to her, her tail shaking slightly. Igarashi steps inside, curious about the wolf. When he steps closer to Kailey, Pelevea growls at him. Kailey laughs again, "It's ok." she pets Pelevea under the chin and looks up at Igarashi, a small smile lighting up her face. "Here, come crouch down beside me. She won't hurt you."

/~;~\

He looks at her closely, slightly enjoying the way her face up when she smiled. A real smile, not the fake one she always plastered on around people. He takes another step so he is standing right above her. The wolf watches him, growling lowly.

"Shh. It's ok, my sweet." the blonde girl crouching in front of him whispered gently. She reached up and grabbed his arm, pulling him down beside her gentle but firm.

He smirks at her, a weird feeling in his stomach that he had never experienced before, "I see, you just can't keep yourself from touching me can you?"

She narrows her eyes at him before smiling darkly, "Vea." she starts, speaking to the wolf. His eyes narrow slightly, worried at what she was telling the animal. "Angehen."

Suddenly the wolf leaps at him, pinning him to the ground. Kailey stands up, looking down at him with a smile in her eyes. "W-what are you doing?!" he exclaims, his voice slightly hitched at suddenly being attacked.

"Vea, lecken." she speaks fluently, using a language somewhat familiar to him. The wolf opens her mouth. He struggles to get out from under the wolf, fear growing inside him. And then...he feels something wet swiping up and down his face. He opens his eyes, looking up in utter confusion to see the wolf licking him with her long, pink tongue.

Kailey laughs, long and hard. After she finally manages to compose herself, she smirks down at him, "Are you quite done being a butt now? Or shall Pelevea continue to assault you?"

Tora stares up at her, surprised by her actions. He felt strangely...warm...inside. He shook the feeling out of his mind."Fine fine. Let's go. Can you get her off of me?"

"Vea, up." she does a gesture with her hand and the wolf immediately gets off him. Kailey offers her hand to him and he accepts it, standing up. Before she has time to release his hand, he picks her up and heads towards the door. She gives a strangled shriek of surprise and slams her fists against his shoulders, "Hey! Lemme go! Igarashi!" she tries to free herself and he laughs. He looks at the wolf to see her watching them, sitting silently and doing nothing. He smiles at her and walks out the door with Kailey over his shoulder.

As he shuts the door, he checks the time. It was now 6:15 am. "So we'll have a bit under 3 hours before we have to go to the auditions."

Kailey had given up fighting him with a huff and refused to say anything to him. He laughed, his chest vibrating with the action. "And you called me childish?" he teases her lightly. He was being very unlike himself. It was strange... It's just that I'm doing what I can to claim her. That's all. After that, I'll go back to usual. he thinks, trying to appease his mind.

She kicks him in the leg sharply and he laughs even more, "Again I say. Would you like to walk now, princess?"

She huffed again, still refusing to talk.

"Very well. I guess that means I'll have to carry you all the way to the car." he purrs, adjusting her so it was easier to carry her. She's surprisingly light... he muses to himself.

"Fine. Put me down. I don't need to be carried." she exclaims, "Stupid little tiger..." she whispers under her breath.

Tora laughs again, walking down the stairs and waving goodbye to the doorman. "After that last comment? Nope. Besides, we're almost to the car."

She looks up in time to see the black limousine door open in front of her. Tora sets her down on her feet gently and gestures to the door. "Well, get in."

She 'hmrphs' him but climbs delicately into the seat. He climbs in behind her and the door closes, the car slowly driving off.

"Where are we going so early in the morning, anyway?" she inquires, curious.

"First we are going to Makis' butler cafe and then we're going to go watch a movie. Underworld wouldn't be too scary for you, right?" he asks mockingly.

She glares at him, "No. I quite enjoy movies like that. I've seen much scarier."

"Well good, because we're going to watch the first one after breakfast. And then we will go to the school for auditions." he purrs.

"Why are we doing this, exactly?" Kailey asks.

"I already told you. I have to make sure you show up to auditions." he smirks at her.

She huffs at him again before turning to stare out the window. "Whatever.." she growls, a small smile playing at her mouth. She was turned away from him so he couldn't see it. He smirked himself and sat watching her, lost in thought.
