Hey everyone :D
I have a rough plan of what's happening in the future chapters but I'm having some difficulties writing it out, so please be patient with me ^^
Oh yeah and if you haven't reviewed yet, can you pretty please review for me~ My friends and I are having this New Year's Resolution thing where we have a resolution and if we don't accomplish it by the end of this year, we get punished by the other person ...and i don't wanna be punished T.T
My resolution is to finish writing this story with at least 50 reviews :)
Mmkayz, here is your chapter ...
(Usui POV)
I sat in class, staring outside the window, thinking about her. I've never felt this way before; never felt so distant from Misaki as we are now. Sure, we weren't in the same class and we lived two different lives, but there use to be something special, something unexplainable that only love could bind together. It seemed to have faded away since the accident. All i had to do was make her fall for me again, turn this situation into a second chance, instead of leaving her completely alone. Whatever it takes Misaki, no matter how much you've started to despise me, I'll do it. I'll stay in Japan and gain some significance in your life, before it's too late.
-The bell rings-
Here goes nothing.
I leant against the wall opposite the door of the student council room, watching Misaki briskly make her way towards here. Her demon aura was fiercely burning. Suddenly she stopped. Her eyes looked in my direction, as if to signal that i should leave now. She was about to turn left and barge through the doors, when I stepped in front of her, causing her to walk into me. A slight blush enhanced her appearance as she rubbed her forehead a little.
"Get. Out. Of. My. Way," she said, almost like an angry whisper, with her head down low.
I ignored her command and attempted to make things better. I guess I chose the wrong place and time to talk to her, since she was in no mood to handle me.
"Maybe we just haven't met properly. Usui Takumi, class 2-2," I casually stated. I placed my hand out as a gesture for a hand shake.
She looked up and smirked viciously at me. "Now is clearly not the time Takumi, yet you are standing right in front of me, acting all friendly and expecting me to accept your hand shake." She sighed heavily as she opened the door and slammed it shut, right in front of me. I returned back to leaning against the wall, listening to the faint sounds of Misaki yelling. I wonder what was happening...
Just when I was about to doze off, the doors flew open, followed by the stampede of student council members. My eyes grew wide. There she was; leaning over the desk, her fists on top of the table as her shoulders moved up and down; a sign of heavy breathing. I straightened my posture and walked into the room. Her face was flustered, not in an embarrassed way, but a tired, helpless way. The atmosphere was tense. Was she stressed out? Do i dare to ask?
"Ayuzawa,"
She tilted her head slightly and glanced at me.
"What do you want? You have no right to be in here," she demanded. Suddenly she swerved around, her hand clenched even more tightly into a fist as it came towards me.
Her attempt to punch me was futile. I captured her wrist with my hand and pulled her gently into a hug. She was in no state to struggle; her body felt weak, too weak.
"What have you been doing to yourself?" I asked, stroking her head as it leaned against me.
"It's too much..." she replied faintly, as though she was unconscious and talking with her last breaths.
"What's too much?"
"Work ...too much work...too much work." She repeated those words softly.
"You just came out of hospital. Aren't you supposed to be taking it easy?"
"Usui ...why are you here? Can't you just go...I feel ...drowsy,"
I meekly smiled before bending down to lift her legs, bringing her into a bridal style carry. I couldn't see her like this, so very vulnerable.
"I'll bring you to the nurse. Everything will be alright, trust me,"
The corridor was dead silent, not a single person was in sight. When we reached the health centre, I placed her down on one of the beds and sat down on the nearby chair.
"Hey Prez, stay awake until the nurse comes so she can check your temperature." I used my index finger and poked her on the cheek, earning a small slap on the hand. "Let me show you something,"
I held my phone out in front of her and pressed the button to make the video play.
She turned and faced her back to me. "Please don't show me that again,"
I chuckled. "I recorded this on the day you were hypnotised by Kanou and was acting drunk. I brought you here and stayed right beside you. Do you remember?"
"...I remember,"
The nurse came in with a thermometer and wet towels.
"Usui..."
"Hmmm?"
"Please leave,"
"Ayuzawa I-"
"Please,"
"Take care then." Without another word, I got up, nodded to the nurse and headed out the doors. Was Misaki finally regaining her memories with me, or was she just starting to allow me to come into her life? Please let her be alright. I placed my ear on the door so I could hear the nurse talking to her.
"Seems like you have a fever. You sure owe that guy; if he didn't bring you here, who knows how dangerously high your temperature could have risen,"
Misaki's voice was imperceptible. It sounded like mumbles.
"I'll call your parents and ask them to bring you home. There's no way you can stay in school," the nurse said kindly.
I heard oncoming footsteps so I started walking away.
-After school-
It had been quite a day and even I was craving for a short nap. Misaki was still lingering in my mind. As I placed the key into the keyhole of the apartment door, my pocket started to vibrate.
"Hello?" I answered the phone.
"Usui-san, it's Minako. I was wondering if you could do me a favour,"
"Yeah sure,"
"Can u please go to maid latte and keep a special eye on Misaki. She insisted she was alright and headed off to work. That girl is sometimes too strong willed. Once she sets her mind on something, you can't persuade her out of the idea,"
"Rather thick headed, don't you think? She never worries about her own well being. I'll do my best to keep her away from any trouble or danger,"
"Thank you Usui-san,"
"No problems,"
I guess my nap had to wait.
-Maid Latte-
She pointed at me, her jaw dropped open as she wailed in despair. "How on earth do you know i work here? And what the hell are you doing here,"
"That's no way to greet your master Misa-chan~" I teased, standing in the doorway of the cafe.
She grabbed my hand and dragged me into the back room.
"You sure recover quickly and my, what a lovely maid uniform. Is it that you need me in a private room so we can have some intimacy?"
"Shut up and come with me or get lost now,"
"Oh so you really do miss me." Her expression started to heat up. I decided not to push it any further since she looked explosive.
As soon as we were alone, she stood there, arms crossed and silently cursing me with her gloomy atmosphere.
I broke the silence. "Your mum sent me here,"
"Why you?"
"Because we use to..." I trailed off. Should i bring this topic up? Should i tell her that we were meant to be and I was a faded memory waiting to be discovered again? "We use to..."
"If you're going to start the sentence, you might as well end it sometime soon,"
I huffed. "Never mind. Just don't overwork yourself, okay?"
"Whatever. I wish you'd stay away from me," she replied and took a few steps away. Soon she was gone.
Why are you taunting me? You let me in for a minute and then push away my heart to make room for more hatred. Can't you give me a chance anymore? You're just like when I first met you; afraid to fall in love, afraid of me.
I just re-read this again and uhm i thought the start of this chapter was alright but then afterwards my writing started to fail me ...ok so I'm sorry for my negativity and late updates ...hmm maybe i should go write more one shots *deep thoughts*. Anywayz, what did you guys think? Was the chapter decent enough?
Thank you to all the current reviewers, it really motivates me :]
