~Chapter 5~

The next morning when Misaki woke, as Usui promised he was there sitting still holding her hand and sleeping soundly, Misaki smiled and touched his perfect nose, stirring a little, she decided to wake him up.

"Mr. Soldier, I'm hungry" she woke him.

"Morning, beautiful" he teased.

"Shut up you alien" she pouted.

"I thought I was superman?"

"Nope you're just an alien pretending to be one, now off to make me breakfast" pulling him up, "And can you actually change your clothes? It makes me a bit uncomfortable you know" looking at his combat uniform, "I think another blood will be spilled" looking uncomfortable.

"Hang on" Takumi rushed to his room to change in a hurry and came back, Misaki looked relaxed as she see him on a plain khaki six pocket shorts and three quarter t shirt and flipflops.

"Happy?" he asked.

"Better" and he was off making her breakfast, some of his men under his platoon looked stunned looking at him being nicely asked by a lady which even shocked them more is that she convinced him only once to change.

After they ate they heard some ruckus outside the front lawn, Usui rushed to see what it was when some of his platoon pointed a gun on to some shady guy, "Hold you position!" Usui ordered.

"ROGER!"

Checking who the man was and found out who it was, "Kaname, there are times I want to shoot you for making a false alarm but I thank you for bringing what I asked you" he groaned.

"I was just returning the favor" shrugging and opening his huge kennel behind his truck and whistled.

"Bruno, Bruce!" Usui called and two huge dogs came to his front.

"KAWAAAII!" Misaki wanted to hug the dogs and what surprised them is that she actually hugged the two scary dogs that the platoon knew is terror ones and could kill.

"Ohh… and Licht wanted to come so I brought him along" pulling the sleeping kitten out of its smaller kennel inside the passenger seat.

"Hmm... he's grown too" Usui carried the little black cat.

"Are they your pets?" Misaki's eyes with the delight.

"I'll tell you inside" Usui pulled her by the waist and along as the two dogs followed his heel.

"What no thank you? You ungrateful British idiot!" shouted by Kaname.

As she sat back to the counter table waiting for Usui to finish cleaning up, Misaki petted the kitten on her lap.

"Why'd you bring them here?"

"Well, for some reason animals have powers cheering up people, and you need cheering up so I asked to bring them here"

"I think its working"

"Good then, now go to the living room to relax, I'll be with you shortly.

"I can wait"

"You sure?"

"Alien"

"Where'd that come from?"

"Whatever" and the dogs barked.

"They are specially train dogs for bomb sniffing jobs, and they're not just here to cheer you up but to also check people with weapons aside from me and my men" he finished.

"Cool, but why'd you get a kitten? I mean are you training him to be one of the sniffers too?"

"No, I just adopted him from the camp where I stay in Iraq, they don't treat animals well there" as Usui finished and petted his dogs.

Settling back at the at her room, bringing their breakfast and coffees, where he sat at the carpet with his dogs and Misaki joining they played a little game of chess where Misaki lost every time, "Where are the three idiots?" she asked.

"I asked them to do some interrogation and did me a favor of making those four half dead" he flatly said sipping his coffee.

"Why didn't you do it then?"

"I can't leave you"

"I have many guards now" she convinced.

"Ayuzawa" Takumi wanting to end the conversation about him leaving.

"Fine if that puts you at ease" she sighed.

"Good"

"Meyw" as the kitten rubbed himself on Misaki's knee.

"Aww…" cuddling the little cat on her cheek.

"It seemed Litch took a liking on you"

"I guess" and Takumi smiled.

Later on one of the roaming guard knocked on their door, "Your Excellency, you have some guests" he said.

Misaki and Usui stood up and both walked out her room, going out the first door visible from the first floor living room, the glass baluster didn't hide their figures as they greet their guests from the second floor.

"Aoi, thanks for the visit" Misaki stated.

"Lady, you know everyone's worried about you right now? and thanks to me who told Mr. Prime Minister the threats you've been receiving, now look what happened!" he scold.

"I know, and thank you" she sighed, "I was also worried about you guys getting involve" pouting.

"Why not take a seat boss?" asked Usui.

"Thanks, Mr. Soldier" as she sat on her soft sofa.

"Usui-san thanks for keeping he safe"

"Not a problem" he nodded.

"Geez Misaki, you're quite a magnet for trouble"

"What can I say my job isn't safe as it looks" she sighed.

" Regarding the fact you don't like those shady business man you meet in political dinner parties that ask about putting up shady business here? And hating those people trying to enter our country and teaming up with the nation's national defense to block them?" rubbing his temples.

"No wonder you were deemed as the iron woman of the rising sun" he sighed.

Usui whistled, "Heavy title, and no puns intended" raising his arms.

"Stop it" Misaki playfully slapped him.

"MIIIISAAAKI!" hugged by Satsuki and the girls.

"Awww… thank goodness they didn't hurt you!" hugging her tight.

"WESHHHHHH" the little cat suddenly hissed between her legs.

"Like master like pet" Misaki giggled as she put little Licht on her lap.

"Oh my, who's this little sweety?" asked Honoka.

"Ahh… this is Usui's pet cat, Licht" and the girls ogled at the little cute creature.

As they now settled at the sofa, Usui sat beside her, and started to converse like they used to, asking many questions and how she feels when Erika started to tease her.

"So are you and Mr. Bodyguard… ahem?" she gave a sly smile.

"What? Noooo!" she immediately refused.

Erika looking at her with teasing eyes, "Really? It isn't seem like it" she grinned.

"Erika stop it!" scold by Honoka.

"Stop stressing her" Honoka flatly said.

"I was just distracting her" she pouted.

"Suck it up lady, it's not helping" Aoi added.

Well, we better leave, you girl needs to rest, and Mr. Guard is in charge of making her feel better understand?" Aoi pointed at Usui.

"Roger that" he mock saluted and followed Misaki as she big goodbye to her work mates and friends on the drive way.

"I want to nap" Misaki yawned covering her mouth.

"Hmm… Usui followed, "I'll make lunch while you nap"

As Usui stayed at the kitchen with some quick cooking making Misaki's favorite food he ordered two of his men to stay at Misaki's door while three others stayed outside just under her balcony.

After he finished he brought the food up to her room and waked her gently afraid being thrown by a pillow or a lamp, "Boss, time for lunch?" he gently said.

Groaning, "Already?" rubbing the sleep off of her, the two dogs whimpered.

"Aww… the big doggies are hungry too" patting Bruno.

"I'll get them their meal in a quick second, don't feed them with yours understand?"

After that Takumi came back with two huge bowls, "I don't have their feeding bowls but I hope this will do"

Good thing the dogs wasn't a messy eater as they started to chow their food.

"Usui was then helped by Misaki clean up, and decided to have some afternoon nap, Usui settled on his chair while Misaki slept on her bed when Usui silently got up and talked to the three others who just happen to arrive.
