Chapter 4

"What. are. you. doing?" She asks with a menacing stare.

Usui's heart skipped a beat.

"N-nothing." He looked around. Avoiding Misaki's eyes.

"Well you sounded like your guilty but whatever. Get out." She stands up and stretches her arms.

Usui sighed. He was somewhat relieved. He secretly stares at her again and what's this? she stared back. Her eyes are accusing. He looked away.

"I gotta go." He didn't wait for reply. He immediately walked to the door and left.

He leans back on the wall and touches his chest.

"What the hell is going on?" He asks himself.

Misaki sighed when he left. Is he even aware of what he's bringing to her? He's totally destroying her system. Good thing that she still acted calm and cool in front of him.


"Just when will you stop bothering me?" Misaki yelled on Usui's ear.

"Why are you so mad?" He asks.

HOW CAN'T SHE BE SO MAD when the guy barges in her room for every 5 minutes asking her to do this and do that for the past 3 hours!

"Mad? Im not mad. I MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" Misaki's hair stood up and it looks like a fire will come out of her mouth.

Usui remembered the paper given by Sakura before the start of vacation.

The paper is about Misaki's behavior etcetera etcetera. In a more specific term, a manual. Just like the paper..slipped on your vacuum cleaner or your t.v.

When she gets mad, she becomes strong and starts to throw things. Warning: You can no longer stop her. Unless she gets tired.

A smile was formed on Usui's face. "Really?"

Misaki was about to lift the chair she sat on a while back and throw it on Usui's face.

"You know what? You're beautiful."

Thud. The chair dropped. And it was as if she was poured with water.

She was never been told beautiful before except for her sister and parents. It's not that she's not good-looking it's just that she don't stand out and yeah, plain.

"It did work! HAHAHA!" Usui continued laughing.

Right. Why didn't she think of that? He was just messing with her. He wasn't serious.

Usui felt the change of expression on Misaki's face. His laugh faded away. Why does he feel guilty? He feels like he just bullied her. He tries to lighten up the mood.

"Uhhh.. by the way, let's rent movies later, I thought we—"

"Why don't you do it yourself?" She said. Cold as ice.

"No way! It wont be fun besides.." He smirked. "You're in my house and…"

"I got it." She said with a blank face.

"So it's all set." He headed to the door. He looked back once more before he would open it.

"I mean it. You're beautiful." And he turned his back smiling to himself.

Misaki's eyes widened. She covered her mouth. Why can't she stop smiling? She cant help it. She can describe how happy she's feeling.


"Why didn't you pick your movie?" Usui asked to Misaki who's walking beside him.

"What for? Its not like Im going to watch it with you." Misaki responded. She was really pissed off. She thought she's already okay with him but then he let her wait for like what? 2 hours? Just because he can't cut his conversation with that girl in a mini skirt.

"Of course! We'll watch it together. Look!" He fanned out the 2 dvds right in front of her face. Her eyes widened. Just by looking at the cover can already give her nightmares. How much more if she'll going to watch 'em? There's this smiling girl in a red-stained white dress, blood is oozing from her empty eye sockets. And below was the title: Hunter

Her mind went black for a while.

"Hey! You alright? You look pale." Then he waved his hand across her face.

"F-fine. Perfectly fine." She smiled and walked a head of him.

He tagged along. "You're hiding something."

"What? Hahaha. NO." When he finds out he'll be like…

"Hahahaha! Could it be that you're afraid of ghosts?" He asked from behind.

Misaki stopped from walking, apparently still trying to recover, and Usui bumped into her.

"Ouch! Hey! When you're walking and someone's behind your back, you should ask that someone a permission if you're going to stop walking. You're injuring people even without you noticing it. Misa-chan?"

He noticed that she's still not moving. He placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Misa-chan?"

"I…" She muttered.

"Its okay. Just admit it. Let your heart calm." He started tapping her shoulder.

"I..Im.. IM NOT AFRAID OF GHOSTS!"

Misaki turned to him and punched his face. K.O!


"Misa-chan! Come on! Its boring without you!." Usui knocked at Misaki's door for nth time.

"Shut up! Im sleeping!"

"You're not. Meanie!" He turned his back and started stomping his feet.

He paused. "Wait a minute. Light bulb!" He started rubbing his both hands together. Smiling evilly.

On the other hand..

"Arg. Im hungry." Misaki gazes at her wristwatch. Its been almost 2 hours ever since Usui's last knock. She then heads to the door and presses her ear.

"Silent. Probably he went out. Good." She slowly twists the door knob and pulls it fast.
