Yuuki and Misaki walked down the long corridor for what seemed like forever before coming upon the door to her room. Yuuki turned around to face Misaki in front of said door, "Ayuzawa-san, you will be staying here."

Misaki held up her hand, shaking it, "Please, Misaki's fine."

Yuuki smiled, opening the door, "Okay, Misaki, you will be staying in here." She lead the way inside motioning around. "You will be sharing your room of course, but it seems your dorm mate isn't in at the moment," she looked around the empty room.

"I see, okay," Misaki contemplated whether or not to ask Yuuki about the second set of dorms.

Yuuki began to walk out the door, "Well then, I'll leave you to settle in. Please, come to the headmaster's building at six so we can explain about the school." She smiled before leaving, shutting the door behind her.

"Well, there goes my chance . . ." Misaki thought dully, dropping her suit case and carry on before dropping herself onto what she assumed was her bed. She sighed and immediately fell asleep, not letting another thought cross her mind.


"Takumi, this will be your room," Zero said in monotone, slipping one hand out of his pocket to swing open the door. "I'll leave so you can unpack. The headmaster wants you and Ayuzawa to come down to the headmaster's building at six for dinner so he could answer any questions about the school."

Usui nodded as Zero talked, looking inside the room. There were two beds to the side with each it's own nightstand in the middle. They each also had their own dressers for clothes and such. "Two beds?"

"Everyone has a dorm mate," Zero explained.

"Oh, I see," Usui walked into the room, shutting the door behind him, leaving Zero in the hallway. Zero huffed slightly as he walked the way he had come down the corridor. Leaving Usui to introduce himself to his dorm mate by himself.

After Usui had closed the door behind him, he walked to the unoccupied bed, dropping his suit case on the ground. He hadn't even bothered to introduce himself to or ask about his dorm mate. The boy was lying on his bed on the right side of the room, resting his head on his hands and watching the other boy. "So, you're Takumi?" His voice was high pitched. It remind him of Aoi, but it wasn't unpleasant.

Usui looked at him and nodded, "Usui Takumi. Who are you?"

"Oreki Namikawa, nice to meet you," he sat up on the edge of his bed and grinned. His loose black hair fell over his shoulders. It was pretty long for a guy's hair, it was just below his collarbone and pulled back by a white headband.

Usui looked him in the eye and his emerald eyes met shocking light blue. "Nice to meet you too. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to unpack and take a nap."

Oreki flourished his hand as he fell back onto his mattress with a 'plop', black hair trailing behind him. "Do as you please, I was about to take a nap anyways," he sing songed.

Usui stood back up and unzipped his suit case, emptying the contents by dumping it onto his bed. He separated everything as he folded it all and stuffed them into his dresser that was provided. He then fell back onto his bed, making a 'thud', and fell asleep just like Oreki had done moments before.


Meanwhile, Misaki had just woken up to her door opening. She sat up groggily, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. The person who had entered spoke as Misaki got up and sat at the edge of her bed, visibly still not fully awake, "Oh, sorry, did I wake you?"

Misaki looked up, the girl had a semi-deep voice for a girl, but in a feminine way. "Oh, it's fine, I had to get up anyways."

"Ahh, I'm relieved," she walked over, adjusting her bag over her shoulder and held out her hand, "I'm Haruka Oikawa, your dorm mate."

Misaki took her hand and shook it smiling, "I'm Misaki Ayuzawa."

Haruka nodded, making her blonde hair bounce as she collapsed onto her bed, not bothering to drop her bag somewhere first. "Ugh, today was horrid."

Misaki tilted her head, "Hm?"

Haruka rotated on her side, resting her head on her hand, "I was just out on a date with some dude and he didn't even show up. Talk about rude." She huffed, blowing her bangs out of her face.

Misaki frowned and thought to herself, "So, Cross Academy boys are like this?" First Zero and now this guy that Haruka was talking about. "That sounds horrible, who was this guy?"

Haruka sighed, "I forget his name, but it's not like I'll need to remember it now."

Misaki dead panned, "Ah, I see . . ."

Misaki then got up to put away her stuff. She folded everything before separating it into their own drawers and then some into the dresser. Once she finished putting everything away she flipped open her phone to check the time; 5:43. "I should start leaving, I still don't know where Headmaster Cross's building is at . . ," Misaki thought to herself as she closed her phone, stuffing it into her pocket as she opened the door. "I've got to leave, Headmaster Cross is going to explain some school stuff to me," she looked at Haruka, just now noticing her eye color, a deep crimson.

"Alright, see you later I guess," Haruka plopped onto her back and looked like she was going to take a nap. Misaki closed the door behind her as she started to walk down the corridor. When she made it outside she ran into Usui who was waiting outside as well. He had changed into a nicer sweater with some jeans.

He turned as she walked down the small flight of steps protruding from the dorm doors, "About time, it's almost six."

"I know, I woke up a bit later than planned," Misaki rolled her eyes and began walking down the path. "So, do you know where the headmaster's building is?"

"I think so," he said as he started following her, walking up beside her.

Misaki continued walking and they made it their in silence. It wasn't hard to find, since it was close to the school itself. Usui walked up to the main doors and knocked with the knocker against the door. He stood back and waited for someone to open it. After a couple seconds it opened to reveal Yuuki. She was panting, "S-Sorry . . . something seems to have happened. Dinner will be d-delayed." She rested her hands on her knees. She caught her breath and stepped to the side to let them in. Usui walked in and Misaki followed as Yuuki shut the door behind them. "Sorry, but you'll have to wait in the living room until we, um . . . fix what happened," she started to lead them down the hall and went into the room on the first left. It was an average sized room with two couches across from each other with a coffee table in the middle.

Yuuki bowed apologizing again as Misaki and Usui sat opposite of each other, "Again, I'm so sorry."

Misaki held up a hand in protest, "It's okay, really. It's not that big of a deal. Stuff happens, right?"

Usui nodded in agreement and Yuuki smiled, standing up straight, "Right, okay. Is there anything I can get you? Something to drink?"

Misaki shook her head, as did Usui. Yuuki nodded, "Okay," and then left, closing the door behind her. Misaki rested her arm on the armrest, and rested her head on her hand. She sighed, "Well, I guess this would be Headmaster Cross's house then? It's pretty big."

"Yeah, I guess so," Usui leaned back, relaxed.

They didn't discuss anything for a bit, but then Usui brought up dorm mates. "I met my dorm mate, Oreki Namikawa."

"Yeah, me too. Haruka Oikawa," Misaki lifted her head.

"Oh, I see."

That killed the conversation for another good five minutes until Misaki spoke. "Hey, did you notice those other set of dorms earlier?"

Usui's eyes widened unnoticably and he nodded, "Yeah, so you noticed too?"

"Yeah," Misaki frowned, "do you have any idea what they're for?"

"No, not yet," he pinched a strand of his hair.

Misaki sighed, "I wonder if they'll tell us. Or, maybe it's a secret, but then why put it out in the open where the other students obviously will notice it?"

"Hidden in plain sight maybe?"

"I doubt it."

"Me too," Usui sighed.

Just then the door opened and Zero came in, "Dinner's ready." He didn't wait to see if they would get up and follow, and he just turned around to leave. Misaki quickly got up with a huff and followed, while Usui followed her and shut the door behind them. Zero lead them down the hallway and around the corner to what appeared to be a dining room. There was a table set up for six people and another doorway probably leading to the kitchen. Misaki found the six people arrangement peculiar, since there were only five of them. Zero turned around to face them, "You can just take a seat where ever you want."

He then took a seat at one side of the table. Misaki and Usui took a seat at the opposite side of the table from him, sitting next to each other. They sat in an awkward silence until Yuuki and Cross came in, both carrying a tray. Yuuki sat down the bowls in front of everyone, while Cross sat the main dishes in front of everyone, plus one extra seat. They smiled in greeting and then went to put the trays back into the kitchen. When they both came back in, Yuuki sat next to Zero and Cross sat at the head of the table, lacing his fingers in front of him.

"I'm glad that you both came," he smiled at them, "I'm afraid our last guest is running a bit late."

Zero 'tched', "It's to be expected from him."

Yuuki reprimanded him as Misaki and Usui told Cross it was fine.

Misaki returned Cross's smile. "It's no problem," she elbowed Usui under the table and gave a dangerously sweet smile towards him, "right, Usui?"

He muffled his grunt with a cough, "Yeah."

Cross lifted his hands off the table, "Great, great!"

The conversation ended as they awaited the sixth guest to arrive. Just as Cross was about to say something the dining room doors opened, revealing a boy who had shoulder length brown hair and matching brown eyes. "Kaname!" Yuuki greeted excitedly. Zero huffed and turned his head away from him.

Cross clapped his hands together, "Kaname, these are the two new students I was telling you about. This is Misaki Ayuzawa and Usui Takumi." He motioned to them with a flourish of his arm.

Kaname smiled, "Hello, I'm Kaname Kuran. It's a pleasure to meet you both."

Misaki smiled and mentally sighed, "Ahh, it's nice to know that not all Cross Academy boys act like trash."

"It's very nice to meet you too," Misaki said.

Usui nodded in acknowlegement with the ghost of a smile and then Cross spoke again, "Now that introductions are done, let's eat!"

Everyone nodded and started to eat. Cross swallowed and realized he forgot to mention something, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Kaname here is apart of the night class."

"The night class?" Misaki questioned aloud. Usui's curiosity was piqued too, but he didn't openly show it.

"Yes, Cross Academy is separated into two different classes. The day class and the night class. That's why there is another dorm, as I'm sure you've noticed," he smiled. "I felt it important for you to meet him, he's the dorm president." Kaname nodded and smiled.

Misaki nodded, but still wondered, "Why are they separate?" She covered her mouth as she realized she thought out loud.

"Well, you see, the day class and night class are very different. Academically, I mean," Kaname smiled as he explained in a calm voice,

"O-Oh, I see . . ." Misaki muttered embarrassed.

He smiled and turned to Cross, "You picked out two great students. I wouldn't have chosen anyone else."

Cross rubbed the back of his neck and made a shooing motion with his other hand, "Oh, it's nothing. Overlooking them wouldv'e been a horrible mistake after all, and how could I not pick them? You even helped me."

Misaki tilted her head, "Did you target Seika High on purpose?"

Cross nodded, "I heard about Seika from Miyabigaoka's student council president, Tora Igarashi." At this, Misaki eyes widened. Cross noticed this, "You've heard of him, I assume?"

Misaki stuttered, "Y-Yes. Our schools have some history."

Usui eyed her and nodded along. He remembered Tora, a stubborn and more so lecherous guy. Usui scrunched up his nose in disgust, but did it discreetly. Cross probably still thought Tora was the perfect model of an honor student.

Cross's smile widened, "Ah, so you've already met him. He told me all about Seika."

"What did he tell Cross-san?" Misaki paniced.

Usui was having the same thoughts, "That Igarashi, what did he say about Seika?"

"It seemed like a great school from what I've heard, especially their student council president. Misaki, I heard that you had transformed the school, which is marvelous. It used to be an all boys school, correct?"

Usui nodded and Misaki sighed mentally with relief as she nodded as well. Cross went on, "Then it was transformed to become a co-ed school. From what I heard from Igarashi-san, it wasn't really a good school. There weren't that many girls enrolling because of the guys to be precise. But then, you came along, Misaki. You transformed the school, and held no mercy for the boys who were acting out of line."

Yuuki's eyes widened in awe, "Misaki, that's incredible!"

"I-It's nothing big, really," Misaki rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.

Usui 'tched' and Misaki elbowed him, resulting in him 'coughing'. Cross continued his story about Misaki and laughed, "According to Igarashi-san, when he first met you in person there were two boys who were running down the hall. You turned around and scolded them, bringing up your arm to nail one of them straight around the neck."

Misaki's face grew warm, "Uh, yeah, I do remember that."

Yuuki laughed, "That's really admirable. Being strong and inspiring like that."

Misaki waved her hands in fron of her laughing, "No, no, I don't think I was 'inspiring' or anything. In fact, many of the guys hated me. They thought I was annoying and too strict."

Usui interrupted, "Oh, contraire Prez. After they understood that you weren't just all violence, they grew to really look up to you. Remember the 'idiot trio'?"

Misaki looked at him with malice for bringing up something about her work here of all places. Well, ex-work, she wasn't working there anymore. Misaki spoke through her clenched teeth, "Yes. I remember them quite well, Usui." She heard the 'Prez' part and added, "And I'm not 'Prez' anymore, so if you would stop using that title, that'd be great."

Usui smirked, "As you wish Pre- oops, I mean Misa-chan."

Misaki was about to explode, why would he drop obvious hints like that? "Misa-chan?"

Usui mocked confusion, "Yeah, I thought you said I could call you that."

"No, I don't recall."

"Oh," he smiled innocently, "I must've been mistaken."

"Yes," Misaki smiled as well, "you must've been."

The headmaster and everyone at the table didn't know how to respond to the obvious tension. Cross cleared his throat, "Ahem, so, about Seika."

"Please continue," Usui looked up with a smile still kept from teasing Misaki.

"Right then," Cross remembered where he left off, "Misaki doesn't show mercy to the troublemakers of Seika High, but apparently even the male students took a liking to her. Igarashi-san spoke very highly of you and how much you work."

"Work?" Misaki asked concerned.

"Yes, he said that you toss student council work plus a part time job," Cross explained.

"Oh?" Misaki cursed mentally.

Even Usui was a little irritated at Tora. How could he give out such information to the headmaster? He was getting possessive, but Usui would never admit that to anyone. Not even himself, for that matter.

They both wondered, did Tora really tell Cross about Misaki being a maid, or did he cover up for her? Then again, what reason would he have to help her out? They were enemies, well, rivals to be accurate. Misaki looked downward at her lap in embarrassment. What was she going to do now?
