Chapter 5 : Proposal

It was Gerald's hotel room. The room was dimly lit and some bottles were placed on the table before Gerald's chair. He had something important to talk about with his right hand man Cedric and he couldn't do that in Takumi's house who was very displeased about his stay there.

'Sir, aren't you being too hasty? I wonder if it'll work. She doesn't really seem to be the type to accept things easily.', Cedric said to Gerald in a not-so-sure tone.

'Yeah,yeah,I know what you mean. I understand your point. But Ceddie, you already know that we are out of time. That guy's in Japan right now. The situation is like now or never. If sweet talk doesn't work, I'll just have to use the tough way. Sometimes you need to do what is suitable rather than waiting for the right time. If we wait any longer, we'll lose everything.', Gerald said and took a sip from his glass.

'I understand. As you wish sir.', Cedric said.

Misaki liked the feeling of fresh air running through her hair as she walked back to her home from school. The classes were less disgusting that day and after a long time, today she had seen Usui acting like his usual self in the school. Though she didn't have the chance to talk to him but only seeing him as he used to be made her very happy. 'May be his brother has gone back. Maybe things will be alright soon….',she couldn't suppress the joy that she felt. But her joy vanished instantly when she entered the house and found Usui's brother sitting in the dining chair with the Ninja-watcher. All her joy turned into shock and surprise.

'You! What are you doing here?', Misaki said in a shocked tone.

Her mother was not yet back from the hospital where she worked. Suzuna must have opened the door.

'Damn,what does this guy want again? Usui said….', Misaki's chain of thought was broken as Gerald stood up and said in a gentle voice – 'Would you please have a walk with me? I wanted to tell you something.'

Misaki became surprised to hear that. 'What does he want to tell me? …..Having some information out of him wouldn't be bad but Usui has forbidden me…But, maybe I should listen to what this guy wants to say. Maybe he has come to say that he's sorry for the inconveniences that he's caused and is going back. This should be it. Because Usui was looking normal today and that means probably all the problems between them are solved. After all, they are brothers! But….What should I do? What should I do?'

'Misaki-chan…are you coming?' ,Gerald again asked politely.

'Um…okay. Let's hear what you wanna say.', Misaki finally made up her mind. 'Sorry Usui, don't mind please! I just want everything to be alright.'

'Don't worry. I won't take long', Gerald said and gave a mysterious smile. Misaki couldn't figure out why he smiled but she didn't care. She wanted to get done with this.

'So,what did you wanna say?' Misaki said while walking. They've reached a place which was very quiet even at this hour and Misaki didn't like it. She wanted to go home.

'Yes, it's time that I told you what I wanted.', Gerald stood face to face with her. He still had a gentle smile on his face. Cedric was standing a few feet away.

'Um,it may seem very weird to you—what I'm going to say, that is. But please try to understand. I think….I'm…', Misaki waited, she was clueless about what was going to happen…But when Gerald finished the sentence, her eyes seemed as if they'd pop out from their socket at any moment..'…..in LOVE with you, Misaki-chan.'

Misaki couldn't say anything for a second and then she said, 'Huh? Are you joking?'

'I'm completely aware of what I've just said.', Gerald said in a smooth voice.

'You're nuts! Totally! You don't even know me! That was the weirdest thing that I've ever heard in my whole life. We've met only twice and you say you love me? That's impossible. I don't believe you.', Misaki seemed outraged.

'Yeah,I thought so. I thought you wouldn't believe me. But I can't wait you know. I want you to be mine. From this very moment.', Gerald's words were simple and clear, still they were not understandable to Misaki, not at all.

'What do you mean?', Misaki started to feel a mild chill all on a sudden. She herself didn't know why she felt the cold sensation running down her nerves.

'I wanted to make this quick. So, please tell me what's your answer.', Gerald said.

'What answer?', Misaki asked. She couldn't figure out the situation at all. This was not anything that she had expected.

'Answer to my proposal of course. Will you be my girlfriend?', Gerald asked.

'NO.', Misaki only uttered this one word but her voice was firm. 'Are you sure? Is it because you think I'm lying? Or is it because of Takumi?', Gerald said to her. But Misaki didn't seem to hear. Then she started talking –'You people think you can act the way you want. At first you tried to separate Usui and me. Who knows how much you pushed him. You didn't stop until he was at his limit. And now….you say this….and also ask for an answer? Who do you think you are to play with our lives and feelings like that?', anger was bursting out in Misaki's voice.

' Is he that precious to you?', Gerald said in a flat voice.

Misaki felt even angrier at this.

'Of course he is. He is not a rich spoiled brat like you. He has supported me whenever I needed him. All you can do is create problems in others lives and acquire your selfish means. He was right. I should've stayed away from you….Do I look like a toy to you?', she blurted out the words.

All of a sudden Gerald's expression changed. His gentled smile was gone. His face looked hard as stone. Misaki suddenly started to feel as if she was in a very dangerous situation, as if her subconscious mind was telling her to run away. However, her raging anger vaporized her anxiety a little bit. So, she waited.

'I used to think my acting was good. You should've accepted my proposal. And what do you know about selfish means, huh? Ceddie was right indeed. You don't accept anything in the easy way. Looks like I have no other choice. The fact is -You have to come with me and do a job for me. I thought if I could melt your heart with my sweet talk, then you'd do the work willingly. But, really that Takumi has covered your thoughts so much that my words didn't get through. Don't worry. I'll make you do the work no matter what. Maybe that'll cost your precious Takumi's life at highest.', Gerald's voice was cold like ice. It was unbelievable that his appearance changed so much within such a short period of time. The person standing before Misaki didn't have a bit of warmth. Ruthlessness stood out in his every fixture. The breeze that was spreading a pleasant feeling over Misaki's body, now made her body shake in fear.

'W-h-a…what do you mean? What do you want?', Misaki's voice was meek.

'Nothing much. You have to come with me, sign a few papers and some more casualties. I promise you, it wouldn't be much of a bother.', Gerald said.

'What papers?', Misaki's voice was still shaking.

'You'll know about that later. But before that tell me if you're ready to come with me….It's okay,if you don't…But then you'll have to be okay if you never see your precious Takumi again…I mean ALIVE. '

Misaki didn't know if she was hallucinating or not. She wanted to believe that it was a nightmare, when she'd wake up, she'd see everything was back to normal…. She had never been in a situation like this before. She wanted to run away. She wanted to scream out and say that she didn't want to do anything for that guy. But still…she knew what her answer would be….She knew that Usui would not want this…She knew she was falling deeper into a trap… Despite knowing this much, she couldn't do what was right. She couldn't choose what her intellect told her. She ended up choosing what her heart wanted….After a long time, she said, 'I…I…I'll do it.'

Gerald gave a crude smile and said, 'You're smarter than I thought. Don't worry. If you do what I want you to do, your precious Takumi won't have a single scratch on him. And you don't have to worry about your work either. It's really a very simple yet a very crucial task that only you can do.'

Misaki couldn't bear anymore. She wanted to take back what she had just said…But she knew that she wouldn't, she couldn't. Because heart felt what it felt and in her case, heart always won over brain.

[That's Chapter 5 for you! I hope it was worth your time. Was it shocking? By the way, please be kind enough to forgive my mistakes or writing problems and please wait for the next and the LAST chapter of this story. The last but of course not the least chapter will be the end of all shock,surprise and everything. All questions will be answered So,please R&R! Arigato!

Note : I've made Gerald look all evil,haven't I? Remember, in the 2nd chapter when Usui was bathing and having flashbacks, Gerald said that he wouldn't hesitate to do the same thing to Usui what his father did to Usui's father? I used the same thing here. He's using threats. It's a threat to make Misaki feel weak. Gerald has found out that Misaki isn't the type to accept what she's told to do just like that. Also, he's found out that Misaki greatly loves Usui. He's using Misaki's simple-mindedness against her. I that's why even wrote that Misaki knew that what she was doing wasn't the right choice. But still, she couldn't stop the fear that she was feeling. And her love won over her intellect. In spite of understanding that Gerald was using her and her feelings, she couldn't but chose what Gerald wanted her to do. She couldn't just risk losing Usui though it could be just a threat. I wanted to show how much Misaki loved Usui that she gave in to that guy and accepted his condition though she didn't know what she would be made to do. As some people couldn't understand my point while reading the chapter, that's why I explained it here. Hope everything's clear now :D.]
