A/N: Hey guys! Thank you for the awesome reviews! :) Here's chapter 4!
Misaki's POV:
After Usui left me with his grandfather, I've been feeling a bit uneasy with him. I looked at him as he looked at me with fierce eyes.
"So", he said, "I heard that you were the president of Seika High School."
"Yes sir", I answered.
He nodded with impressment.
"I see that you want to become a diplomat", he said.
"Yes", I said, "I do want to become a diplomat."
"Perfect", he said, "Throw that dream away."
Shock settled on me. I didn't understand why he would tell me to throw away my dream. The dream that I ever wanted to become. I gripped my hands tightly.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because", he said, "You are going to be Takami's wife, and you need to learn how to be proper and support him like any other women."
"Excuse me, sir", I interrupted, "But I'm sure that I want to be able to get a job and support myself with what I enjoy the most. You can't simply just take away women's rights of what she wants to become. If she has a dream, then she shall go for it. You have no power to change the mind of a human of what they should be or become."
He looked at me with soft eyes and started laughing. His laugh sounded pretty scary to me. I took a sip of tea.
"What a good answer", he said, "So be it."
I nodded. He got up and walked away thanking me for joining him for tea. I sat in the chair for a while before going inside. I got up and started to walk back to the house, but a set of hands grabbed my arms. I was dragged out of the house and into a car. I started to struggle, but the power of the arms tightened around my arms. I winced. As I was forced into the car, they put a black bag on my head and I felt the car move. I even struggled. I felt a sharp pain on my sides. I winced and stayed still, clutching my ribs. I blacked out.
When the bag was removed from my head, I looked around. I was captivated in a room. The lights were dark and dim, yet the room looked pretty nice. I was laying in a grand bed. The room had a make-up dresser, a table with chairs, a bathroom, and a couch. There were no windows in the room. I heard the door open and when I put my attention towards the man who came into my room, a sense of realization came across my mind.
"You!" I exclaimed.
"Yes", he smiled, "Me."
"How did you find me? How did I get here?" I asked.
I got up quickly and got into my defensive mode.
"Well, the Duke made a deal with me and you're here", he said.
"Sorry", I said, "But I don't belong here."
"I can't let you leave, Misaki", he said smiling, "You belong to me now. I signed a contract with the Duke."
"I'd rather belong to a pervert alien instead of belonging to an idiot like you", I spat.
He looked at me with interest.
"There's the fire that I see", he said while whistling.
He snapped his fingers and a pair of guards came in.
"Do what you want with her", he said, "But mind her face."
He lifted my chin.
"She has to look presentable when she becomes engaged to me", he said slyly.
He walked out and stopped.
"Oh if I see a bruise on her face, or even a little scratch", he continued on, "It'll be the end for you."
The guards nodded. As the door closed.
I looked around scared. I didn't know how long I was going to be here. I needed to get out. At night, I couldn't sleep. I sat on the bed and stared at the guards. I felt as if I slept, they would do something to me. I needed to lay low for a while. As the days became weeks, I made sure what day it was. I made a simple plan in my mind, but every time I tried, my body would give out and they would start kicking me or hitting me. It was time to make a move. I stared at the guards. I didn't trust them at all. I got up, they got prepared if I were to do anything funny. One guard walked up to me and grabbed my wrist.
"Sit on the bed", he said.
I wrapped my hand around his wrist and turned. I flipped him over and his head landed on the cold hard floor. I looked at the other guard and he came at me. As he shot out a punch, I blocked it, but I winced. He was wearing some thick metal around his hands. They started bruising my arms as I tried to block them .He shot out again and I quickly slid under his legs and punched a place where he would regret for spreading his legs. He froze and winced. I got up and lifted my leg. I slammed it down hard on the back of his neck. He fell forward and passed out. I walked towards the door and opened it up a crack. There was no one to be near. I walked out of the room and locked it right behind me as I left. There were stairs that led upstairs. I waked up the stone stairs quickly. My lungs started to burn. How many stairs were there to get to the top? When I finally reached the top, I opened it slowly. It was a grand mansion that I was at. There were flowers on stands that were there. I walked out slowly. I was sore, so each step I made was shaky. I heard voices coming from a room. I looked in a keyhole to see what who was in there. It was Tora, the Duke, and Usui!
"Do you possibly have Miss. Ayuzawa in your household?" asked the Duke.
"Misaki?" asked Tora.
"Yes", replied the grandfather.
"No I don't", he replied, "In fact, I haven't seen Misaki in a while."
"After I beat your ass", Usui said smoothly.
Tora turned red and coughed.
"Is she here?" Tora asked.
"Well, my grandson thinks that she is here", the Duke replied.
Tora laughed.
"No', Tora said, "She wouldn't even DARE step on my house grounds."
"Unless you kidnapped her", Usui said staring at him with sharp eyes.
Tora looked at him uncomfortably.
"Mind your manners", scolded the Duke.
"I wouldn't grandfather", Usui said coldly, "He has the love of my life and you're behind this all aren't you?"
The Duke looked at him surprised.
"How dare you say such a-", the Duke started to say.
"It's obvious that you would want Misaki to be away", Usui said, "Because she's not from our class. You plan to assign me up on a blind date or even an arranged marriage, but do you think that would make me not love Misaki?"
The Duke slammed his fist on the table.
"She is not here!" the Duke said, "You will mind your manners and stop searching for her! I contacted the police and they told me to just wait until they hear any news!"
Usui stood up.
"It's been 5 weeks!" he said angrily, "It takes them THAT long to find a person? That was kidnapped?"
"I will find her if it's the last thing I do", Usui said, "If you are against in who I want to love, then I will have to go against your plans and just return to Japan."
"SIT DOWN!" the Duke yelled.
I was going to open the door, but there was a shout.
"OY!" said a guard, "COME BACK HERE!"
I was startled and started to run. I kept running, but my energy was depleting. I got caught and was shoved into another room.
"I think you need to be disciplined to make you obey", said the guard roughly.
He pushed me to the floor and slammed his foot into my stomach. I coughed up blood and I felt light headed. He backed up his leg and was going to kick again, but the door slammed open and there was a crack. The man fell to the floor lifeless. There were a pair of black shoes. I looked up and it was Gerald. He knelt down and smiled.
"Found you", he said, "My you look terrible."
He picked me up and walked me to the room. Everyone was out the room staring as Gerald came towards them with me in his arms.
"I found her here", Gerald said.
Usui grabbed Tora's collar.
"What did you do to her?!" he exclaimed.
Tora started to get nervous.
"Um heh..well-", he started to say.
Usui landed a punch in his eye and Tora fell down. Usui walked towards him, but I didn't want Usui to be like that.
"Usui", I said softly, "No...don't do it."
Usui stopped and turned around. He walked towards me and took me from Gerald's arms.
"Thank you", he said to Gerald curtly.
Gerald nodded. He looked towards Tora.
"Well, I can report this to the police department and see what they will do with you', Gerald said.
Tora got on his knees.
"P..P...please!" he exclaimed, "I didn't do anything wrong!"
Gerald kicked him away.
"Begging like a beggar?" Gerald asked laughing, "What pride you have."
The Duke looked nervous and mad. Gerald glanced at him.
"I'm extremely disappointed in you grandfather", he said.
Usui took me outside and into the car.
"Home please", Usui said, "Quickly please."
Usui took out his phone.
"I need a doctor to come to my house this instant", he said, "It's an emergency."
Usui ended the call and looked at me.
"You look like you haven't eaten for days", Usui said.
I stayed silent. I was in the midst of exhaustion and in pain. Usui wiped my hair away from my eyes.
"I'm sorry", he whispered, "I should've have been there with you."
"Don't be", I said, "I wasn't scared."
"I looked for you everywhere", he said.
I looked at his face. He looked sleep deprived. I was too weak to move.
"I'm glad you found me", I said weakly.
When we got home, Usui carefully got me out. The doctor said that I had some major bruises around my stomach area and that I was going to throw up for a couple of days. The bruises around my body would heal in matters of weeks and it was best for me to stay in bed. He told me to eat some soft and hot foods. When the doctor left, a maid came in to talk to Usui.
"The Duke has come back home and beckons you to come immediately", said the maid.
Usui nodded.
"Alright", he said.
He looked at me and brushed my hair.
"I'm going to be back alright?" he said, "Get some rest."
He got up to leave.
"Please clean her up carefully though", he said to the maids.
"Who's this?" asked a female voice.
"Maria", Usui said, "I don't have time for your lectures today."
"She looks really beat up", she said, "Did grandpa do this?"
Usui nodded. She pushed Usui out of the room.
"Well, you go on your way and I shall take care of her", Maria said.
Maria helped me get out of my clothes and into the tub. She washed me gently with sweet smelling soap.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"Ayuzawa Misaki", I replied.
She smiled.
"May I call you Misaki-chan?" she asked.
"S..sure", I said a bit weirdly.
She smiled and kept washing my body.
"Sorry", she said, "My grandfather tends to do bad things."
"I noticed", I said.
"You're so cute!" Maria exclaimed.
She started rubbing her cheek up and down mine. I backed up quickly to the other side of the grand tub. I gripped my arms because they were in pain.
"Ah", she said, "Sorry! I love cute people!"
I nodded. I just wanted Usui back. After I got cleaned up, I was into new set of clothes.
"Let me get some food for you", she said.
She skipped out of the room. I laid in bed and let out a deep breath. Did this household contain such weird people? The door opened again and Usui came in with a small table. He set it on my bed and smiled.
"Hey", he said.
"Hey", I said back.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"Fine", I said.
"I made you some food", he said softly.
I looked over the table. It was simple and good. There was hot steaming soup along with some honey tea next to it. There was a sakura flower in the middle of the soup.
"What is it?" I asked.
"It's corn soup", he said.
He gave me a spoon and I dipped it into the soup, but my hands were shaking. Usui took the spoon from me and dipped it into the food.
"Here", he said, "Ahhhh."
I looked at him blushing.
"I..I can do it myself!" I exclaimed.
"Apparently, you can't", he said, "So I'll take this opportunity and feed you."
He smiled. I looked at him.
"Want me to blow it too?" he asked.
"N..no", I replied, "It's fine."
I took a hesitant bite from the spoon. The soup overwhelmed my body with such warmth. It was good too.
"It's good", I muttered.
Usui smiled. The door opened again and in came Maria. Once she saw Usui, she pouted.
"You brought her food first?" she pouted, "I made her food."
Usui waved her off.
"Well, at least you made something on your own", he said, "You can eat it too."
Maria narrowed her eyes against him.
"I'm going to take care of Misaki-chan!" she exclaimed.
"Nope", Usui said, "Not on my watch."
Maria pouted more and left the room. After I finished all the soup, Usui laid me back in bed.
"I'm going to go take a shower", he said.
I nodded. He turned off the lights on his way to the bathroom. The moon was shining down from the balcony window. I looked at the stars in the sky. After a while, Usui came out with only a towel around his waist. I looked at him and blushed. He was half naked.
"P..p..PUT ON SOME CLOTHES!" I exclaimed.
I started to throw pillows at him. Even though my bruises were killing me, I still couldn't see him half naked.
"Ayuzawa", he exclaimed.
"Put on some clothes!" I exclaimed.
I jumped out of bed and started smacking him with my pillow.
"Wow", he said, "Even though you're hurt, you have that much power left in your system?"
I kept hitting him with the pillow.
"Shut up!" I exclaimed.
"Ayuzawa!" he exclaimed, "If you keep doing that my-"
I felt something at my feet. I looked down and it was the towel. I looked at Usui and freaked out. I started throwing any object I laid my hands on.
"B..B..BAKA!" I screamed.
Usui quickly went back to the bathroom to get changed. I ran towards the bed and hid myself under the covers. My eyes were scarred. I rubbed my bruises as they were hurting me greatly. Usui came and sat on my bed.
"Sorry", he said laughing.
I got up quickly.
"It's not fun-", I started to say.
I was close to Usui. He looked at me with soft caring eyes.
"Sorry", he said smiling.
He put his head against my chest.
"I'm sorry for what happened", he said again.
"It's fine", I said, "You're not the one to say sorry to me."
"Then", he started to say, "May I sleep next to you since we're engaged?"
I froze on that comment and pushed him aside.
"N..No!" I exclaimed.
He came close to my ear.
"Please?" he asked.
"N..no!" I exclaimed.
I pushed him off. Usui laughed again.
"Hai hai", he said, "I'll sleep on the couch."
He walked over to the couch and sat on it.
"Will you be ok?" I asked.
"Yes", he said, "Why? Do you want me to sleep next to you?"
I started to blush.
"N...no!" I said with embarrassment.
I pulled the covers over my head and laid back down on the bed.
"Usui", I said.
"Hai?" he asked.
"T...t….t...thank...you", I said quietly.
I didn't hear anything back from Usui. I felt as if he fell asleep on me. My face felt hot when I touched it. I closed my eyes. I think he heard me? If he didn't, I guess I embarrassed myself. I was thankful that Usui had saved my life. I was thankful that Usui had came to save me. I wanted to repay the favor, but how?
