Previously:

Misaki's punishments were chosen for leaving home and not coming back. She is forbidden to leave home. Minako will be guarding it to be sure she won't sneak out at any times. Misaki can't see or talk Usui, and Hinata and Satsuki will be making sure they don't.

Chapter 17: What a Great Day

It was Monday morning, and Misaki wasn't so happy about it. She wasn't looking forward to the day at all. Not only was she sad, but she was exhausted. Misaki hadn't gotten any sleep at all. She was thinking of ways that she could meet Usui at her school and work place. She complained in her mind about how stupid she was for leaving home. Because now it's not only Yui that wants to seperate her and Usui, now it's her Minako too. Misaki quickly got dressed in her school uniform and grabbed her bag and went to the door with her bow untied. Her mom was there, as she promised. "I'm going to school now. Bye!" she exclaimed and left, pushing her mom out of the way. She ran to the train station and caught it right before it left. She walked in quickly and breathed hard. Her hands rested on her knees as she leaned over in exhaustion. She shouldn't have used that much energy, Misaki thought. A long day was going to be ahead of her. No talking or seeing Usui at all. With Hinata probably at her side at all times. But she made a small plan that she was going to use everyday at school to get him away so she had the opportunity to talk to Usui and explain. Her mind was constantly going over her plan, over and over again. She hardly noticed that her stop arrived, but the mess of people around her going to the door signaled her.

She arrived at the school early, as always. She went up to the school door and opened it. For once, she didn't want to be at this area. Never had she felt this way. "This day was going to be terrible..." Misaki said outloud, knowing that no one else could have heard her. She remembered her plan and knew she was a little off schedule, so she walked quickly to the student council room and set her bag on her desk quickly and went out to the front gate as always, but didn't seem to make it there as quickly as she usually would, because she was stopped by a familiar pair of green eyes. She thought that she would ignore them, but when she reached the boy, she stopped in her spot. Her brown eyes looked him down with love and Usui noticed that.

"Good morning, prez," he said to her as usual. After he finished saying that, Misaki raised to her toes and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. She lowered and looked at him again.

"I'm sorry, Takumi-koi. I need to go to the front gate. And it's not why I usually do. I'll explain later when I get the chance." He suspected something immediately and followed the fast walking girl to the front gate and saw her talking to Hinata, because he had arrived early like always at his usual time. He walked up behind her without her knowing and wrapped his arms around her waist "Usui... I'm sorry, but can you please stop?" she asked and pulled his arms away. She looked at him after turning around with her brown eyes that had been used to look at him earlier and he looked at Hinata who looked like he was about to burst.

"Usui! You're not supposed to be talking to her!" he exclaimed. Usui knew something was especially wrong when he had also called him by his last name and especially the sentence.

"I'm sorry, Usui. I'm not really allowed to talk to you under my mom's rules... Hinata's here to see if I do." She was looking at the floor and avoided looking at either of the boys.

"Not really?! You're totally not supposed to talk to him or see him," Hinata replied, putting his special sound in his second word.

"W-well, I guess I should be going then," Usui replied. He felt terrible right now. He knew exactly why she wasn't allowed to look at him. It was because of her love of him, so he cursed himself for loving her a little bit. He walked slowly back to the school and up to his classroom, leaving Hinata's and Misaki's eyesight. She was actually shocked that he left her alone with Hinata.

"Good thing he's gone. Can you explain this whole story to me? Because I'm really confused. Why did you leave me after minutes?" he asked her. She explained her story thoroughly, all though she was embarassed to tell Hinata some parts, so she didn't tell him at all. "Wait... so where did you stay at night when you left?" he asked. She had tried to avoid where they left so she couldn't be in trouble.

"Erm... we went to a hotel far away," she said. It was close to the truth, and it was good enough for Hinata to take. "And I'm sorry... I don't think that we'll work out..."

"Eh? What do you mean, Misaki?"

"I got my ring back," she told him and looked at her left ring finger. He looked down at it too.

"Oh... I remember now. Well, of course you can't stop loving someone when you're getting married to them... I... I'll let you talk to Usui, now. But I still won't show respect for him." Wow! Misaki's plan had gone better than expected! She smiled wide and hugged him tight. Her day just got a little better.

"Oh, thank you! You can go to class now!" The school door was wide open and Misaki ran through them. She went up to the student council room and found Yukimura talking with Kanou. "Yukimura! Can you go greet the students at the gate for me?!" she asked quickly. He flinched a little at her volume of voice.

"Y-yes!" he exclaimed and went to the school gate. Once he left, she saw Kanou there alone and left him. She was desperate to see that pervert right now. She ran around in the hallways to get to his class which was on the other side of the school. She finally got there in a few minutes and flung open the door. Usui was there alone, drinking juice at his desk. He saw her there, panting with the cutest face. He knew she wasn't allowed to see him, so he got up and started leaving. Misaki saw this and ran up to him and hugged him. Then released him to look at him.

"My punishment is terrible, Takumi-koi. My mom and Satsuki won't let me see you or talk to you. But Hinata's letting me talk to you!" she exclaimed quickly. "I'm such an idiot... I had to leave them because of you. Idiot... Idiot... Idiot..." she repeated. Usui pat her back lightly as she squeezed him tight again.

"Don't worry, Misaki. You're not an idiot. By the way... are you wearing our ring?" he asked her. She let go and looked at him then raised her hand. He was the happiest inside, and it leaked out and he smiled.

"Y-yes... but I'm still an idiot!" she exclaimed and lost her happiness. She put her hand down and Usui hugged her to calm her. Her fists started pounding into Usui's chest, and then someone came into the classroom and saw this couple hugging.

"Erm... excuse me, president? What are you doing in here?" he asked, shaking a little. She realized that someone was there and she stood straight in front of Usui. Her eyes looked at the boy behind her after she turned her head.

"I was just telling Usui something. It's nothing really. I have to go now," she said. She went as high as she could on her toes and whispered something in his ear. "Give the pregnancy test to the nurse, please." Her heels touched the ground again and she walked out the door.

"Usui, that was close. She could have found my porn magazines..." the boy said to Usui. He just turned and went back to his desk, drinking his juice like he had been before Misaki came.

She went to the student council room and saw that most people were in the room now. Then she remembered something that she could've thought of earlier. "Wait... did mother see my ring?" she asked herself.

When school was over, she had to go straight to work. Hinata had told her that he had work and that he couldn't be there to support her at Maid Latte. She accepted this and ran to the store in excitement. She needed to take her mind off of everything so she could rest. She ran quickly, and her legs started aching a little bit. But she did need a little exercise. When she reached the store, she ran in immediately and walked to the back room to change, ignoring the very few customers inside the building that were staring at her. Usui had been in the room shirtless as she walked in. As her eyes looked around the area for her costume, he started taking his pants off. "Oi! Why are you taking off your pants?" she asked and walked closer to him.

"Satsuki isn't here, so of course we could do anything here together. It's only Erika and Subaru today, which is really odd," he said, "Luckily, there aren't many customers today. So you guys can handle it."

"Pervert... No! And Satsuki isn't here?" she asked.

"It was worth a try... and yes, she's not here. So you can talk to me all you want. She's gone because she had to go take care of her niece who's in another city for a couple of days because there's no one else to do it and their parents are going on a business trip for a week." He started pulling his pants back up but didn't put a shirt on. She walked up to him and hugged him for a little bit. When she released, she grabbed her maid outfit and shooed Usui out the door and threw a shirt after him.

"Go put it on and shut the door, don't just stand there and wait for me to strip!" she exclaimed and ran up to the door. She slammed it in front of him and started changing. She grabbed a pair of glasses on the way out to the small cafe, as it was glasses day at Maid Latte. She grabbed a silver tray and waited for someone who needed to be assisted. Unfortunately, someone hadn't needed food in the next thirty minutes.

"Eh? Misa-chan? When did you come?" Erika asked.

"Uhm, about thirty to forty minutes ago," Misaki replied.

"Oh! Really?! Well, sorry Subaru and I didn't welcome you! We didn't see or hear you come in. But, you don't need to work right now. Everyone's just chatting. Come out when you hear the door, because no one's left and no one's come," Erika informed her.

"Really? Thanks." Misaki walked back to the kitchen and sat down at one of the chairs seated in the kitchen at the back. She crossed her arms on the table and rested her head on it. Her eyes sometimes flickered over to Usui to see what he had been doing.

"You know, Misaki, that I can see you looking at me," he said.

"S-shut up! I'm not looking at you. I'm resting," she replied and closed her eyes.

"Whatever you say..." He walked over to the table she was sitting at and pulled a chair up across from her. "I'm done cooking for now, so do you wanna talk? Tell me what your punishment is exactly." Misaki opened her eyes and lifted her head.

"Uhm. Well it's sort of long. Is that OK?" she asked, concerning about his work.

"A customer probably won't come for a while. I heard Erika too. I just made some extra food incase someone came, and some food for us. I made an omelet, do you want it?" he asked.

"Yeah... thanks." He got up again and walked to the counter at the kitchen. He grabbed two plates and two forks and placed one on each plate. He walked back to the table carefully and set them down. "Thanks! Itadakimasu!" she said and started eating.

"Now, after you eat, will you explain your story?" he asked. Misaki nodded her head at him.
