His delinquent, Her prince

Chapter 3: A promise is a promise

Touko groaned as the alarm clock gave its beautiful harmony of rings, Shut up, shut up shut up! Touko mentally screamed. She slammed a fist down on the offending machine, quieting it's cries. Much better. She shifted herself into a better position from under her blanket, letting the warmth from underneath protect her from the cold October morning air.

"Touko!" Mei called from the kitchen in annoyance, "Get your butt up! It's almost time for school!"

"Give me five more days," Touko muttered, sleepily. She heard Mei giggle somewhere in the kitchen.

"Now Touko," Mei commanded playfully.

"Ugh!" Touko wailed as if she had just been stabbed, "I don't want to go to school! It's boring!" well that was 1/3 of the reason why she didn't want to go to school, the second was that she didn't want to face that N boy, oh, and because she didn't want to see that N boy, enough reason to stay home right?

Touko could feel Mei roll her eyes. Touko once again shifted so her head poked out of the bed of the pull out couch. She gave Mei the only bedroom they had, although Mei had insisted of them sharing it Touko declined, saying that Mei deserved it. In the end Mei gave up trying to convince her older sister and simply commented to making them breakfast every morning.

"Come on! You went to school yesterday! Why can't you go today?!" Mei pouted.

"Because I went to school yesterday," Touko said plainly, flipping to her stomach her head to the side so she can breathe.

"Pretty please Touko, please!" Mei cried, now standing in the living, a spatula in hand.

Touko sighed, "Fine."

Mei gave a sequel of delight before running off into the kitchen. The smell of burning pancakes hit Touko square in the nose, she smiled. She loved Mei with all her heart, she devoted her time between work, paying bills, and, em, other activities she does to spend time with her precious younger sister. She didn't have time to go to school.

Then the events of yesterday came flooding back into Touko's mind. She groaned and flipped to her side, if she did end up going to school she'll end up facing, him. Which is the last thing she wants to do, no he didn't intimidate her, he simply creeped her out a lot. The way he speaks as if he was king, blah! Touko grit her teeth together, bastard. She hissed in her mind.

"Stop making faces like that or it will stay like that," Mei called from the kitchen. It was then that Touko realized her was scowling. "Come on, breakfast is ready."

With a final sigh, Touko pushed herself out of bed a momentarily shivered in the cold morning air, she brushed it off and walked over to a small table where her breakfast was laid, and began to eat with only person she deeply loved.


"M-Master N, I-It's time t-to w-wake up." A trembling maid whimpered, oh why oh why was she chosen to wake up this monster. She maid heard shifting a rustling from the other side of the door. Ever so slowly the door opened, revealing a pair of glaring eyes. Immediately the maid back away and stumbled, causing her to fall onto her bottom.

"You stupid fool, how dare you wake me from my slumber," N's cold voice rang.

Trembling the maid replied , "I-I w-w-was ordered t-t-to w-wake y-y-you, m-master," She said, tears streaming down her face.

N's eyes flashed with rage, "Back talking your master?"

The maid's eyes widen, "N-No!"

"Your fired!" N barked, he walked passed the crying limp on the floor and down the marvelous stairs where the dinning hall was present. Opening tall twin doors a fest that could fill 30 starving people was waiting on the table.

"Hyuu," N called.

"Yes, Master?" Hyuu asked with a bow.

"I just fired a maid, she is still crying in front of my room. Get her out." He ordered.

Hyuu sighed, "Master N, you cannot keep firing maid after maid, we will have no servants left," Hyuu calmly explained, it took every will power not to bash him in his head for his I-am-greater-than-thou attitude.

N simply rolled his eyes, "Then higher new maids, anybody would kill to work at the Gropius palace," he finished with a wave of his delicate hand.

Mentally rolling his eyes, Hyuu bowed, "Yes, Master."

"Where's father?" N asked nonchalantly.

"He already left, Master."

N looked down at the floor, he'd promised that he would have breakfast with him today...

"Do you want me to dine with you, N?" Hyuu asked with a smile apologetic smile.

N gave a ghost of a small smile before it disappeared, "You shall."


Touko slid down the railing of the stairs while Mei jumped down the stairs two steps at a time.

"Your going to fall like that one day," Mei scolded.

"I'll be fine," Touko answered. Just as she fell backwards. "Ow..."

Mei rolled her eyes, "Told you."

Touko had a slight cut in her cheek, Mei pulled her backpack from her back and unzipped it, pulling out a bandage she slapped it onto Touko cheek, "Next time walk down the stairs," She laughed.

Touko rolled her eyes, "Hardy har-har," She mocked.

"Master N, the Limousin is waiting," Hyuu bowed, now in a school uniform than his usual butler uniform.

"Thank you, we shall depart," N said, also wearing a uniform. From the bottom of the stairs of where he was standing there were two lines were forming a path for him, one side all the maids, on the other all the butlers.

"Come back soon, Master!" They all chanted at the same time.

And with that, N and Hyuu walked out the huge twin doors.


Touko and Mei were walking down the street to where their school was, Mei was wearing the mandatory uniform, while Touko was wearing her usual altar, white tank top under sleeveless vest, torn short-shorts, black combat boots with purple/pink edges and laces, and her hair in a high ponytail with a pink and white hat on, a poke-ball symbol on it.

"Your gonna get in trouble, you know," Mei warned.

Touko shrugged, "Can't make me take it off if they can't catch me," She sang.

Mei smiled, she loved her older sister dearly, although she can be laid-back and carefree most of the time she knew that Touko was a very busy person and stress was constantly on her shoulders. It was a very selfish request on her part that she demanded that Touko went to school, but she wanted her sister to get as much education as she can.

Touko and Mei were about to cross the street when a pure white limousine turned the corner and made no move to stop when they were halfway crossing the street. Mei automatically ran to the other side, while Touko stood her ground.

"Touko!" Mei hissed, "What the heck to you think your doing!"

The limousine was still coming towards her, she didn't flinch.

"Teaching this bastard a lesson," She smirked.


N was looking out the widow to his left, while Hyuu was going on about the rules of the school. It wasn't until he heard the denting of metal that he looked up to the front window of the limo that he saw that a girl had punched the limo...the same girl he threw hot chocolate at.

"Listen up ya bastard!" She screeched. N raised an eyebrow, while Hyuu turned to him knowing smirk while his eyebrows danced up and down. He rolled his eyes.

"What happens to be the problem," N asked the driver coldly.

The driver blasted the horn of the limo a few times before answering N, "This young lady will not move, young Master," He said calmly, still blasting the horn.

N stared at Touko while she screamed and ranted, flipping them the pidgy, her younger sister trying to pry her away. He knew that she couldn't see inside because of the tinted black windows. That's when he smirked.

"Unlock the door," He ordered. He stepped out the car, and smirked as he watched Touko's face turn into that of shock, horrified, to anger.
