Chapter 5

When I woke up, I was in a large room. There was a bouquet of roses resting on a vanity desk. Attached was a letter.

Nakahara Sunako,

I said I'd get you, but I couldn't come personally. Apparently, things got a little out of hand while I was gone and I had to get everything back in order. Sorry if my boys were a little rough in bringing you here. I'll be expecting you at lunch later today. Ring the bell and a servant will attend to you.

Kyouhei

I snarled. This was just ridiculous! What made him think that he could tell me what to do? There was no way I was going to stay here! No!

I made to find an exit. That is until I realized that I was dressed in pajamas. That unnerved me a bit. What was going on with him?

Never the less, I found some fresh clothes and discarded what I had on then, pulling on the v-neck t-shirt and jeans. They were plain, which was why I chose them.

The door opened and a maid entered, bowing. "Nakahara-san, lunch is served."

"Will you do me a favor? Tell Kyouhei that I'm going home. I never wanted to be here in the first place and he had no right to tell me what to do."

The maid looked shocked at first, but her face fell and revealed the fear that I'm sure Kyouhei brought upon her and her fellow servants. "I'm afraid that's not an option, Nakahara-san," she said. She was practically begging me to not make her go back downstairs to tell Kyouhei what I said.

"He's so spoiled!" I shouted. "Look, just tell him that if he has a problem with it, then to take it up with me."

"Nakahara-san," the maid said, obviously very frightened. But she swallowed her fear and sat on the bed. "I came here because I thought I could get close to Takano-san. But you don't know what he's capable of now. And on top of that, he only talks about you. I don't want you to get hurt."

I couldn't believe this girl! She was one of Kyouhei's groupies and was apparently too frightened of him to do anything about it. But what she said was strange. "Who are you?"

She looked at me and gulped. "My name is Sato Natsuko."

"I'll go down with you," I said, giving up. Might as well start a food fight while I'm at it!

Kyouhei was seated at the end of the table, flipping through the paper, and, get this, ignoring me!

"So, do you usually freak out, kidnap, and then ignore your victims?" I shot at him.

"Sato-san," Kyouhei said. "Tell Nakahara that if she knew what was good for her, she'd keep quiet."

"Natsuko-san, tell your employer that I will not keep quiet since in doing so would be following a direct order from a complete baka, which I will not do."

"Tell Nakahara that even if I am a baka, I still did better than her at math."

I couldn't believe that this was happening…it was fun though: "Tell him that his claims are completely irrelevant; picking on my skills in math are completely unrelated to what we are supposed to be discussing."

"And pray tell what we are supposed to be discussing, Nakahara Sunako?" Kyouhei growled.

Ha! Finally hit a nerve! Natsuko left once Kyouhei finally addressed me personally. "I want to know why in the world you decided to kidnap me right from my own home."

"That's usually where kidnappings are placed, Sunako."

"Really, Kyouhei? I thought they were usually away from someone's home."

"I was kidnapped from home and outside of home all the time."

"Like the host club incident?"

"You were there!"

"I was passed out! Baka," I muttered, rolling my eyes.

"I told you I was going to come back and take you here, Sunako!"

"I didn't think you actually would! One way or another, I'm leaving." I turned around to leave, but the door was locked. I turned to Kyouhei, who had that smirk on his face. "Let me out," I ordered.

"No."

"Not even for fried shrimp."

He paused, thinking about it. Heh, heh. The power of food is in my grasp.

"No."

That wasn't expected. "Since when do you turn down shrimp?" I smirked. "Especially mine?" I asked, faking a sad, hurt voice. It wasn't my style, but I had to try.

"Cute, but I figured that once you get used to living here, then I'll have other opportunities to eat shrimp."

I really wanted to kill him. Making him a corpse once again sounded very alluring.

"Oi, Sunako," he said. "How about you eat?"

Yeah: I'm gonna kill him before the week is out. I scream and bang at the door. I wish I never threw away my coffin...
