A/N: Hey guys! Chapter 3 is up! Enjoy! Thanks for reviewing!
Misaki's POV:
Then next day, I woke up with loud crashing noises. I quickly got out of bed and ran towards the door. When I opened it, Usui was there looking all nice and clean and there were two guards on the floor groaning. His house wasn't harmed at all. There was no harm anywhere. I was amazed in how clean Usui made his fights. Usui looked at me and smiled.
"Ah just on time", he said, "Good morning, do you want breakfast?"
"I'm good", I said looking at the guards on the floor.
"Don't mind them", he said.
He grabbed both of the guards ankles and dragged them out of the door.
"It's nothing", he said.
"Did your brother send them?" I asked.
Usui didn't answer.
"Let's go out to eat shall we?" he asked.
Uusi grabbed my hand and dragged me towards outside to a cafe. We sat there eating.
"Usui", I started to say.
"Ayuzawa", he said, "Let's go to a bookstore, I need to buy some books."
We walked everywhere to different places. Every time I had tried to say something about what happened, he would either tease me or change the topic. I got frustrated. Once we came home, he opened the door for me. When he closed the door, I pushed him towards the closed door and leaned my hands on his chest.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Why are you avoiding my questions?" I asked, "What is it that you're hiding from me?"
"I'm not hiding-", Usui started.
"Don't lie to me!" I exclaimed cutting him off.
Usui lowered his head in shame and sighed.
"I'm thinking of going back to England", he said.
My eyes widened a bit. The heaviness in my heart lowered me down. He was going back to England.
"I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know how you would react and what you would say", he said softly.
I stood there, guilty. I didn't know that he was thinking of going back. Usui took my hand, but I quickly pushed away from him.
"I need some fresh air", I said quickly.
I walked out quickly without grabbing a jacket with me. I ran towards the park and sat on a swing just rethinking of what Usui had said. Tears started to well in my eyes and I wiped them quickly. He was going to leave without telling me. Just like how my dad left my family with a debt. I held tightly to the metal part of the swings and tried to hold in my tears. I felt a warm jacket over my shoulders.
"It's getting cold", Usui said.
"Thanks", I said croaking.
Usui sat in front of me and lifted my chin.
"Ah, the fearsome Prez is crying?" Usui teased softly.
He wiped away my tears with his thumb and looked in my eyes.
"Shut up, idiot", I mumbled wiping away more tears.
Usui chuckled softly.
"Guess I have no choice", Usui said.
He made me stand up and he hugged me tightly.
"You know you can cry it all out", Usui said.
I held onto Usui tightly and tears started dripping from my eyes like a waterfall. We stayed there for a couple of minutes. When I calmed down, there was a big wet spot on his jacket.
"Sorry', I said sniffing.
"It's fine", Usui said, "It'll dry eventually. Let's go inside."
When we went inside, Usui made tea and we sat there in silence. I never thought that I would end up crying in Usui's arms. I never cried as I got older. I was always a child that would lead the family in survival. Usui took a sip and put the cup down.
"Where should I start", he said.
"Hm?" I asked.
"The reason why I'm going back to England is that I don't want to cause any more trouble that would involve you", Usui said, "I want to protect you at the same time and not have you hurt."
I nodded.
"I understand", I said to him, "I would do the same thing."
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"I'm fine", I replied.
"I wish I could take you with me", Usui mumbled.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing", he replied smiling.
"I'm going to wash up", I said.
"Hai hai", Usui replied.
I walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My puffy eyes were very visible. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. When I walked out, Usui was on his phone calling someone.
"Yes, I'll be with her always", Usui said.
I sat down on the couch and watched him. Usui smiled at me.
"I'll make sure to take care of her", Usui said.
He paused.
"We'll come visit soon", he said, "Yeah, ok, bye."
"Who was that?" I asked.
"Your mother", he replied.
"What did she say?" I asked.
"She asked how you were doing and all", Usui said.
I nodded.
"She also said that Suzuna is doing great in the competition. She made it to the second round", Usui said.
"That's great", I said.
Usui poured more tea into my cup.
"Thanks", I said.
We sat in silence again. Usui looked out the window. I looked at his facial features. He looked calm and peaceful. He looked as if he wasn't worried about anything.
A week later, it was winter break. As school ended, I sat in the student council room. I was getting everything done before I left school. Usui came in.
"Prez", he said, "What are you still doing here?"
"I need to finish this before I leave", I said, "Then I have to go to work."
Usui walked over to me and put his hand on the table. He leaned into me and came close to my face.
"Ayuzawa", he whispered, "I want some love."
I blushed and pushed him off.
"I need to finish this!" I exclaimed.
I started to finish up and then I got my bag and ran to the outside of school.
"W...w..well Usui I'll see you later!" I exclaimed.
I ran off leaving him in the dust. I ran towards the Maid Cafe. I stormed through the back door.
"Ah Misaki you're back", said my boss, "Usui's here in the kitchen."
I blinked. Usui arrived here before I did? I was convinced that he wasn't human. I got changed and started to greet the people.
"Welcome back Master", I said bowing.
I saw Usui as he was cooking food. He handed me a plate and he smiled at me.
"Misa-chan", he said teasingly, "Make sure to give this to them."
I blushed and grabbed the plate.
"O..Of course", I said.
I walked on and served to the customers. After my shift has finished, I changed and walked towards the door. Usui was waiting for me outside. It was pretty chilly too. He wrapped his scarf around me and rubbed my head.
"Let's go", Usui said.
"You're following me home?" I asked.
"Well, it is a man's job to", he said.
I rolled my eyes and walked.
"Come on then", I said.
We walked down the dark sidewalk. Suddenly, I felt a tug on my hand. I looked at Usui. He grabbed my hand.
"We're being followed", he said, "I want you to keep calm."
I nodded. There were footsteps behind us. We walked past my house and towards Usui's apartment. There were a bunch of guards there waiting for us.
"Usui", said a familiar voice, "Nice timing."
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you too Gerald", Usui said coldly.
Gerald came towards the light and we were surrounded.
"I told you I would come back again", he said, "What's your decision?"
"How can I tell if I'm being surrounded?" Usui said calmly.
Gerald signalled the guards to leave.
"I decided to go to England", Usui said.
"GREAT!" Gerald said smiling, "Then we have no time to-."
"But I'm going to take Misaki with me", he said boldly.
My eyes widened. I was going to England with Usui? Gerald scoffed.
"You can't possibly take her with you", Gerald said, "You never told her-."
"Already done and decided", Usui said, "Her mother gave permission and told me to take good care of her and protect her."
Gerald scowled.
"But I only have your ticket!" he exclaimed.
"Already bought it", Usui said, "That's called planning ahead."
"I see", Gerald sighed, "There's no stopping you is there?"
Usui smiled. Gerald started to walk towards the car.
"Then so be it", he said.
He got in the car and drove away. Usui breathed in and out.
"What do you mean I-", I started to protest.
Usui covered my mouth with his lips. I tried to pull away, but he brought me closer. I gave up and let him kiss me. As he parted, his head rested on mine.
"I already talked to your mother about this", he said, "She said that it was alright for you to go to England."
"But what about the school?" I asked, "Who's going to be the president?"
"I already have it planned and done", Usui said, "Yukimura says that he would take over."
"I hope that he can do his best", I said.
"I'm sure that he will", Usui said.
I looked down and sighed.
"Why is it that you're always one step ahead of me?" I asked.
"Because", he said, "I like to plan head and get what I want."
We walked home after Usui got his stuff. The chauffeur was there to drive us to the airport. I walked inside the house and started packing. My mother was talking to Usui. Suzuna came to my room with a good luck charm.
"Onee-chan", she said.
"Oh Suzuna", I said.
She handed me a red good luck charm.
"For you", she said.
I took it in my hands and smiled.
"Thank you", I said.
She looked down and nodded.
"I won it from a contest", she said.
I looked at her.
"That's great!" I said smiling.
"I'll miss you", she said softly.
I hugged her.
"Sorry", I said.
I felt hot tears fall down my shirt.
"Do you have to go?" she asked.
'I have to", I said.
I let go slowly. I wiped her tears and I saw Shintani come towards my room. He looked at me. I nodded at him. He nodded back at me. I walked towards him and hugged him for the last time. Shintani hugged me tightly.
"Take care of my sister", I said.
Shintani didn't say anything. I pulled away and walked down the stairs with my stuff. Usui was waiting there for me. My mother hugged me tightly.
"I want you to have fun there", she said, "And visit us too."
I nodded.
"I will mom", I said, "If I get a job there, I'll send money."
She smiled and shook her head.
"You don't have to", she said.
Usui came back from putting my luggage in the car.
"Ready?" he asked.
Shintani came down with Suzuna who was about to cry. Shintani looked at Usui.
"You better protect her!" he exclaimed, "Don't leave her ever!"
"I'm sure that I will", Usui said.
Shintani nodded. We walked out the door and towards the car. Suzuna ran and clung to my arm.
"Don't leave", she said sadly.
I gently pried her arms from me.
"I'm sorry Suzuna", I said, "But I have to go."
Suzuna looked down and Shintani came and wrapped his arms around her. I saw tears start to go down her face. I turned around quickly so that I wouldn't cry at the same time.
"Stay healthy alright?" I said, "Don't forget to take care of mom too. I love you all."
I got in the car and we started to drive away. I didn't look back. I felt heart-broken. When we got on the plane, tears started to form in my eyes.
"Ayuzawa", Usui said.
"I left them the same way how dad left us", I said sadly.
Usui wrapped his hand around my head and made me lean against his shoulder.
"I'm sorry", Usui said.
I started crying quietly. After a long hours on the plane, we arrived in England. We were greeted by guards and Gerald. I looked at Gerald with hatred. We drove to the mansion. It was like a castle. As soon as I stepped into the mansion, there was a loud greeting.
"TAMAKI" boomed a husky voice, "Welcome home."
I looked up and saw the darkness within the household. There was an old man with a scary face. He looked as if he was in a gang.
"Grandfather", Usui said quietly, "Pleasure to meet you."
"Duke Rachester!" exclaimed Cedric, "You mustn't move a lot!"
Cedric came to the Duke's aid and met eyes with me. He was that bodyguard of Gerald. He pointed at me.
"Why is that girl here?" he asked.
"I want to ask the same question', the Duke said.
"She's here as part of my conditions that I have for coming here", Usui said, "If she didn't come with me, then I wouldn't dare be here."
The Duke made a frown. He looked at me up and down.
"I never invited her", the Duke said.
"Ah", Usui said, "She is my fiance."
Everyone froze.
"Y….your fiance?" the Duke said stuttering.
"Yes", Usui said.
He took my hand and quietly slipped on a ring.
"She agreed to marry me", he said.
"You never said she was your fiance!" Gerald exclaimed.
"Well", Usui said, "I wanted to keep it a secret from everyone."
Usui took my hand and held it to his mouth. He kissed it gently.
"We plan to get married soon", Usui said.
The duke was surprised.
"Then we shall have a festival held here!" he exclaimed.
I was still shocked of what I was hearing. We were led to our rooms. As soon as the door closed, I started beating up Usui.
"What is the meaning of this?!" I exclaimed, "Me MARRIED TO YOU?!"
Usui grabbed my hand and pinned me on the bed.
"Calm down", he said, "Take a deep breath."
"Explain!" I exclaimed.
"Ayuzawa", he said, "I had no choice. I didn't want you kicked out. You can stay here as long as my grandfather knows that I plan to marry you. Would you rather have me marry someone else?"
"You didn't propose properly", I said calming down blushing.
Usui smiled.
"I know", he said, "I'm sorry that it's not the best proposal, but I want you to know that I love you and that I always want to be by your side, I never want to let you go. I want to be able to protect you when you're with me."
"I want to be protecting you", I replied.
Usui smiled and got on his knee.
"Misaki Ayuzawa", he said, "Will you spend your life with me until death?"
"What a weird way to ask", I mumbled, "But yes, I will."
Usui took out a ring from his pocket and slipped it onto my finger. I looked at the ring. There was a small pink diamond in the middle of the gold ring.
"It's beautiful", I said.
"Good", he said, "Because I can't return it since I've had it for a while."
I looked at him.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I've had this ring ever since I started high school", he replied.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because my adopted mother gave it to me saying that I should find the right person to give this ring to", he replied.
"Which is me?" I asked.
He nodded.
"You're the lucky woman", He said smiling.
I flopped on the bed and looked at the ring.
"Did you get one?" I asked.
"Of course", he replied, 'Will you put it on me?"
I got up and took the ring gingerly in my hand. I slipped it onto Usui's finger slowly and looked at it. It was just a gold ring.
"You're pretty good at choosing rings that suit me", I said.
"Well, I know you so well so", Usui said smiling.
:Do we have to at like lovers now?" I asked.
He nodded. He wrapped his arms around me and brought me close.
"I'm sorry for taking you away from your sister", Usui whispered.
"It's fine", I said, "I'll come back and visit her. I know that she'll be strong. I'm sure she wont forgive me, but I know that she trusts me that I'll come back."
There was a knock on the door.
"Enter", Usui said.
A maid came in and bowed.
The Duke would like to talk to both of you", she said.
"Tell him we'll be there", Usui said.
She left. Usui got up and started to get undressed. I grabbed him.
"What are you doing?!" I exclaimed.
"Clearly I can't dress like this to my grandfather", he said, "We need to dress nicely."
He came close me to me.
"Do you want me to help you?" he asked.
I pushed him away quickly and crossed my arms.
"I'll get dressed by myself!" I exclaimed.
Usui grabbed my hand.
"I want you to dress in this", he said.
He handed me a bag. I took it and walked into the bathroom. It was a simple, yet beautiful dress. It was a long blue dress with the front a bit shorter than the back. My back was exposed, yet it fit my figure greatly. I was surprised it fit me. I walked out and maids greeted me. They did my hair and make-up.
"You have beautiful hair!" exclaimed one maid.
"Oh thank you", I said smiling.
They put me on heels and walked me towards where Usui was. He was waiting for me. When I saw him, he was wearing a black vest. He saw me and his mouth parted a bit.
"W..what?" I asked.
"You're absolutely my beautiful wife", he said.
"S...s..shut up!" I exclaimed.
He held out and arm and we entered the Duke's study. The duke was sitting in his chair with a dark aura around him. His sharp eyes looked at me up and down and he nodded slightly.
"Sit", he said.
We sat down in the nearest couch.
"Takumi', he said, "I want you to explain to me."
"I'm getting married to Ayuzawa", he said.
"What family is she from?" he asked, "Don't tell me she's from the commoners that you've met back in Japan."
Usui didn't say a word.
"So she is", he said, "I forbid it!"
Usui's face got darker.
"You can not marry someone that's not from class!" he exclaimed.
"I can marry who I want to marry", Usui said.
"I forbid this marriage!" he exclaimed.
I got up abruptly. The Duke looked at me with dark eyes.
"Pardon me interrupting, but you cannot simply tell Usui who he should marry and who he should love", I said, "Sure I'm from a lower income class, but you can't just say that I can't marry him. I love him with my heart and I know that he loves me. It's his choice in who he wants to marry. No matter what, putting class first is just ridiculous!"
The duke looked at me with interest.
"Oh?" He asked.
"Yes", I said.
The Duke started laughing out loud.
"My you are interesting", he said, "I cannot win against you in a debate."
I looked down. The Duke sat down in an easy chair.
"Are you sure you want to marry my grandson?" he asked.
"Yes", I replied.
I looked over to Usui.
"I'm certain that I want to marry this man", I said.
Usui smiled. The Duke sighed and leaned back.
"I cannot stop you from loving him", he said, "Might as well make it happen."
Usui looked at his grandfather with surprise.
"I've gotten softer ever since Gerald has been diagnosed with lung cancer", the Duke said.
"I'll make sure that Gerald is up to health", Usui said.
The duke nodded.
"You're next in line", he said, "Make sure you do your job."
"Hai", Usui replied.
"As for you young lady", he said, "You will become a proper englishwoman and learn your role in this family."
"Hai", I said.
"You'll be having lessons with some people around the house", he said.
I nodded.
"Leave", he said.
We bowed and walked out of the room. I exhaled greatly. Usui walked on ahead. I didn't bother try and catch up. When night came, I laid in the bed while Usui was washing up. I looked at the ceiling. Would he teach me to be someone who I don't want to be? Usui came out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. He came close to me.
"U..U..Usui!" I exclaimed, "What are you-?"
"Let me stay like this", he whispered, "Please."
I could tell the sadness in his voice. I stopped squirming and Usui wrapped his arms around my waist. I put my hand on his head and rubbed it.
"Everything is going to be fine", I said with warmth.
I felt a small smile on my stomach. I blushed and looked away. We stayed like that for the remainder of the night.
Usui's POV:
As I was paying close attention towards how Misaki was sleeping. She was sound asleep. I touched her hair and moved some out of her face. She was a treasure to me. I kissed her forehead softly.
"I'll protect you", I said, "I promise."
Misaki mumbled something.
"Perverted alien", she mumbled, "Don't leave me…"
I was surprised. What kind of dream was she dreaming? As morning came, I carefully got off the bed and walked over towards the bathroom. I took a quick shower and got ready. As I came out, Misaki was still sleeping. I got dressed and looked at her. I kissed her head and left the room. I walked towards the dining table to get a grab of something to eat. Gerald was there eating with his guard. I sat down and started to eat.
"She's not awake yet?" Gerald asked.
"Well, she's tired since she arrived yesterday", I replied.
"I see", he said, "Well, grandpa wants to talk to Misaki during tea time."
"Why?" I asked.
"I'm not sure", Gerald replied smiling.
He got up and wiped his mouth.
"I'll see you later on", he said, "I have a flight to catch."
I stared at him as he left. I finished my breakfast and took a walk outside in the garden. I picked out flowers and took them inside. I brought the flowers into our room. Misaki wasn't in the bed. I heard the shower running. I arranged the flowers and set them on the night stand. Miski came out with a towel around her. I saw her and blushed. Misaki looked at me and suddenly screamed.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" She exclaimed.
I turned my head quickly.
"Sorry", I said calmly, "I didn't notice you would finish showering right away."
"BAKA!" she exclaimed, "PERVERT ALIEN!"
She started tossing pillows at me. I was on the floor watching the wall.
"D.. 't look!" she exclaimed.
"Hai hai", I replied.
Misaki had a good body. She was muscular in some parts and had perfect skin. I was tempted to take a look. I turned around and saw the back on Misaki's body. It was smooth and looked silky. I wanted to touch it. She was going to turn around, but I quickly turned my head back to the wall.
"Are you done?" I asked.
"Y...yes", she said.
I turned around and saw that she was wearing jeans and a shirt.
"Are you really going to wear that?" I asked.
"Why?" she asked, "Do I always have to wear formal clothing here?"
"Well, if you're having tea time with my grandfather, yes", I replied.
"I'm having tea time with your grandfather?" she questioned.
"Yes", I said.
"Then I should get changed", she said quickly.
She ran towards the wardrobe and opened it. She took out a white dress. I shook my head and walked towards her. I stood her aside and took out a dark red dress. I handed it to her.
"Wear this", I said, "In case if you spill."
"Thanks", she said taking it in her hands.
She walked towards the bathroom to get changed. I cleaned up the rest of the flower stems that I had cut off and walked outside. Gerald was waiting there for me.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I was going to escort Miskai there", he replied.
"Sorry, but I shall be the one escorting my soon to be wife there", I said coldly.
Gerald gave me a smug smile.
"Alright then", he said, "You'll go to school with Misaki at night."
I nodded. I waited until Misaki came out the door. She looked beautiful. I walked her towards the garden where my grandfather was waiting.
"After you finish tea with my grandfather, we have night classes afterwards", I said.
"Really?" Misaki asked with her eyes shining brightly.
"Yes", I said.
"Finally!" she exclaimed, "I can study!"
I walked her towards the garden where my grandfather was. He looked at me and Misaki and nodded. I bowed and walked away. I knew that she would be strong. I turned to look at her, and she was proper and already doing her thing. I smiled and walked inside towards the library. I started to study the medic books. I wanted to be a doctor. As soon as I walked in the library, Gerald was there with a big stack of books.
"Oh you're here", he said.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Since you're going to be the next successor of this house, I need you to start learning of what you need to do", he said.
I sighed. I walked towards the desk and sat down. I looked at the millions of stacks. I had to sign them soon. I looked down and started to begin. It was a couple of hours later until the door opened. I looked up and it was my Gerald. He came in wheezing.
"What's wrong?" I asked getting up quickly.
"Misaki", he wheezed, "She's kidnapped."
"What?" I asked.
Misaki was kidnapped, but by who?
