Nika instantly jumped up and started pacing around like a mad woman.
"Oh my god!...I got to get outta here…sheets, we need sheets… damn 5th floor….wigs…yeah wigs…" Nika mumbled as she paced all around Kyouya's room looking out the window off and on as if trying to see if she could make it.
Kyouya watched her from over his glasses with a look of amusement on his face.
"You know if you keep pacing like that you're bound to get dizzy." Kyouya said calm and casually.
Nika stopped in mid pace and slowly turned her head to Kyouya. For the first time in his entire life Kyouya had the sudden urge to run, run fast, run far, run now!
"I don't care if I get dizzy Mr. Cool and casual! I am not Suka I don't have experience trying to secretly leave someone's house, so if you could come up with some ideas it would be greatly appreciated!" Nika said through gritted teeth after grabbing the front of Kyouya's shirt.
Kyouya cleared his throat and smoothed his shirt out taking great joy in the frazzled Nika who started pacing yet again.
"Young master Ootori, breakfast will be served in the main dinning hall in 10 minutes. Your father and brothers will be waiting." A butler said from the other side of the door after years of having alarm clocks thrown at him from waking a sleeping beast known to the servants as Kyouya.
"10 Minu!.." Nika started only to have her mouth covered by Kyouya.
"If you calm down I'm sure we will find a sensible way out of this." Kyouya said hesitantly removing his hand from Nika's mouth.
"I'm so sorry..its just I don't want to cause any problems with you and your family. You've told me how traditional your family is and I don't want to be your dirty little secret." Nika said with a sigh.
Kyouya shook his head with a small smirk and grabbed Nika's arm pulling her into a hug.
"I don't keep any secrets, and if I did you would never be one. Besides you're to clean to be a dirty secret anyway." Kyouya mused.
"No secrets huh? Then what does your family really do?" Nika asked looking up at Kyouya.
"If I told you id have to kill you and everyone who knows you." Kyouya said flatly fixing his glasses with a glare.
Nika sweat dropped nervously and went back to Kyouya's window.
"I think I can make 5 floors down no problem." Nika said as she looked down.
As Kyouya watched Nika from behind as she opened a window and leaned over, and idea struck him.
"Nika you can stop that." Kyouya said with an evil smile.
Nika turned around and suddenly she felt a need to run, run fast, run far, and run now.
Kyouya opened his door and looked out only to find a young new maid walking past.
"Young Madame may I see you for a bit?" Kyouya said with his best host club smile.
" Y-yes master Kyouya." The made stuttered all a flush as she walked past him and entered his room.
"You look to be about the right size. May I borrow your uniform?" Kyouya asked in his most gentlemanly manner startling both Nika and the maid.
"I hope you're having fun you closet pervert!" Nika shouted at Kyouya who was smiling warmly at Nika who was now wearing the maid's uniform.
"I am glad to be of service." The made bowed happily as she walked out of Kyouya's room wearing Nika's outfit and counting the money Kyouya had given her.
"If you can come up with a better idea I would love to hear it" Kyouya said with a triumphant smirk.
"..still a pervert" Nika mumbled silently.
"Don't worry, its easier to make up an excuse for you in that outfit then in Fuyumi's clothes. Plus I doubt the help here will say anything to my family… I have a bit of a reputation." Kyouya said trying to cheer up the very annoyed Nika.
"A reputation? For bringing maids to your room!?" Nika all but screamed as she stomped her foot on the ground.
"I think it's safe to assume you would make a great dominatrix by how well you seem to get angry in skimpy outfits." Kyouya teased.
"I think it's safe to assume you like to get girls angry in skimpy outfits." Nika retorted.
"Touché." Kyouya said with a bow as he stifled a laugh.
"First a kimono, now this thing. What next, you're going to have me cosplay as some cat girl? Or better yet why not some leather and chains! That's sure to get your motor running big boy." Nika said crossing her arms sarcastically.
Kyouya couldn't help but find Nika hilarious at that moment. She was wearing a black somewhat puffy sleeved maids dress with a white apron and her hair up in a maid's hat that gave her a look of pure innocence while saying such non-innocent things.
"You know if you like that could very well be arranged." Kyouya said flatly pushing his glasses up and pushing Nika's patience.
"Now he's just trying to piss me off! What's worse though? The fact I'm letting him? Or the fact this dress is actually quite comfortable?" Nika thought to herself as she absent mindedly picked up a pillow and fluffed it to calm down.
Kyouya was about to test her patience and put another nail in his coffin but was interrupted by a breakfast bell. He looked at Nika who was taking deep breathes and putting on a fake servants attitude that he had seen when she served him at her tea house.
"Just fallow my lead and we'll be alright." Kyouya said reassuringly to Nika.
Kyouya may have seemed calm on the outside but inside he was afraid that his father would see Nika. Yoshiro had already once told Kyouya to forget about Nika if he wanted to inherit the family business, and Kyouya was deadly afraid of what lengths his father would go to.
Nika fallowed Kyouya out of his room and down the stairs thanking every god known to man that it seemed his room was at the end of a hall right next to the main stairs that seemed to go down to the first floor.
"I doubt you remember your way out since you were unconscious when I carried you in." Kyouya whispered as he noticed Nika looking very surprised and pleased.
Nika blushed at the thought of Kyouya carrying her soaking wet and unconscious form to his room. She then thanked the gods again for the fact he was raised to be a gentleman or else he would of done something horrible to her.
"Please never change Kyouya I like you the way you are." Nika whispered as he led her right before the grand staircase that led to the first floor and main hallway.
"Good morning sir. Ootori" Kyouya heard a butler behind him say as Nika and he were but a few steps away from freedom. Instantly Nika and Kyouya both froze.
"Kyouya it is time for breakfast and I have something to talk to you about, do not dally with maids." Yoshiro said sternly as Kyouya faced him.
"I'm sorry father but I wanted to give her, her chores for the day." Kyouya said bowing to his father.
"Is she new?" Yoshiro asked walking over to Nika who still had her back turned.
Kyouya swiftly gave Nika a low kick to the side of her shoe and she turned around smiling so wide she couldn't see and curtsied as low as possible as she heard the older mans footsteps stop in front of her.
"Good morning sir. Ootori" Nika said as insignificantly as she could which meant swallowing her pride whole.
"humph! I'll be waiting for you in the dinning room, your brothers are already waiting, do not dally." Yoshiro said eying the maid as he turned towards the dinning room.
"Yes father." Kyouya said in almost the same tone Nika had which worried her greatly.
Only after Yoshiro footsteps couldn't be heard did Nika get up and run for the door much faster then Kyouya had thought she could.
"Kiyoshi will be waiting at the entrance to give you a ride home.. you can keep the outfit if you like." Kyouya mused.
"That's the second time I've had to be all lower class and undeserving for you Mr. You owe me big time!" Nika said through gritted teeth with fake animosity because she felt very relieved and thankful to Kyouya.
"I'll keep that in mind, but if you have any problems or want to talk I'll be here for you." Kyouya said as he opened the door to let Nika out.
Nika smiled at Kyouya and gently pulled his chin towards her for a deep kiss.
"Thank you Kyouya. I've had fun and you really saved me last night, arigato." Nika said a slight blush on her cheeks as she walked out the door.
Kyouya watched her leave. He was a tad stunned but none the less happy as he felt a sudden rush of warmth wash over him from his lips down.
As Kyouya closed the door and Nika walked towards the waiting limo neither were aware that a pair of old grey eyes was watching them from security cameras.
"She really does look gorgeous in that outfit, like father like son I suppose." Yoshiro chuckled.
"I can't wait to see who cries first though." Yoshiro said as he left his office that joined the dinning room and walked to his seat at the table prepared for his plans to take effect.
