Kaichou wa maid sama! Fanfic
Hikari Rashi
Chapter 14
Seika High Staff Room, 8:27 PM
As the audience enjoys the short break, the students are starting to question where the main star has gone. Misaki is handling the commotion backstage and the teacher is pretty much in a state of panic.
"Oh my god what if she doesn't make it back in time?" he wailed, his palms on both of his cheeks, pacing back and forth.
"I'm sure she will." A teacher calmly replied.
"But it has been an entire TWENTY minutes! The audience is waiting for the final scene!" he snapped.
"Just calm down, all of this will be fixed somehow." the other teacher said.
Backstage...
"Where is Hikari?" a student shouted.
"Did she bail on us?" another one questioned angrily.
"Is the play ruined?" Sakura wailed.
A large wave of students are complaining on where the heck Hikari is. Misaki is trying to control the commotion but it isn't really working out.
"I'm sorry but I cannot answer any of your questions now!" Misaki shouted, her voice barely heard due to the noise that the students were making.
"What happened to her?" A student asked.
"Is she gonna be back?" Another one asked.
"Who will play Juliet?" Another one shouted.
"I DON'T KNOW!" Misaki shouted even louder, her voice finally silenced the crowd.
"..."
An awkward silence filled the room.
Hikari's Apartment, 8:28 PM
-Flashback 3 hours ago-
"Well it's about time to go!" Hikari's dad said merrily.
"Sir, the car is waiting." Harry said through the door.
"Ah yes! First let me get my black jacket." He replied.
Hikari's dad walked down the hallway, peeking into rooms to check if his jacket was in one of them. When he got to the dinning room he could see his jacket hanging on a chair.
"Ah! There it is!" he said.
He ran up to it and took it from the chair. He noticed Hikari's laptop wide-open, the screen black but the power button still lighted. He thought it wouldn't be a problem if he turned it off for her, probably saving whatever she's done. He sat down on the chair and grabbed the mouse. He waved it around and soon the laptop screen lighted up again. Hikari's dad went to the menu and pressed the shut down option. As it was starting to shut down a window popped up. It read:
System Warning:
You have some unsaved changes to Journal File #29
Do you want to save?
l Yes l l No l l Cancel l
Hikari's dad hovered the cursor over the Yes option when he caught a glimpse of Hikari's Entry. He thought he misread it and looked again. He clicked the Cancel button and the shut down was canceled. He then leaned closer to the screen. His eyes closely examining the entry.
"I beg your pardon sir but we might be late for Hikari's play" Harry said.
"Oh yes. The play..." He replied in monotone.
He got up and grabbed the video camera from the couch. He called Harry in and threw the camera at him. Harry caught it almost instinctively.
"I'm sorry but what is this sudden ninja-like throwing style you have developed sir?" Harry asked.
Hikari's dad sat down on the chair in front of Hikari's laptop. "I have some...very important matters to attend to. I entrust you to film the play while I sort these matters."
"Err...I mean, yes sir." Harry replied as he walked out the door.
As soon as Harry closed the door Hikari's dad carried on reading. His mind absorbing every single word written on that document.
-Flashback over-
Hikari was shocked. She stood just by the door. Her dad was sitting in a black leather chair, turned away from Hikari. She could only see a portion of his head, just creeping over the edge of the chair. Her laptop was sitting on his lap, after all he has just finished reading a journal. Hikari's journal.
Hikari tried her best to stay calm. "Now, now dad. That was just a story I wrote. You know like the one I made in 7th gra-"
"Be quiet." he said firmly.
"-it got an A...wait what?" she asked.
"Be quiet." he repeated.
"O-okay daddy." Hikari said innocently.
He chuckled. "Really Hikari. Even considering the circumstances you still try to act cute."
"Well maybe YOU should've left the laptop alone! You should have respected my personal privacy and-"
"SHUT UP!" he shouted furiously.
Hikari flinched.
"You lying, scheming, evil cheat! How DARE you take advantage of a fathers love for his only daughter! How your DARE interfere with the love of two students! You should be ashamed!" he snapped.
"..."
"I thought sending you here was going to change your ways. But turns out I was wrong."
"Oh REALLY..." Hikari mumbled sarcastically.
"Shut your mouth young lady!" he snapped.
Hikari's anger snapped. Nobody was going to treat her like this, not even her dad. "What if I don't want to huh?" she snapped back.
"I'm warning you..." her dad said.
"You think you scare me? Huh? You think you can make me cry and run into my pillow screaming my sadness away? Well you CANT so watcha gonna do about it huh?" Hikari said.
Her dad took out a cellphone. It's screen had a message on it, something that Hikari swore was bad news for her. The second after he took it out of his pocket, he pressed the send button.
"Harry! Ralph!" he shouted out.
Within seconds they arrived. "Yes sir?" they said together.
"Take her away, I need some time to think of a suitable punishment for her..." he ordered.
"S-sir?" Harry stuttered. "You mean your daughter?"
"Yes Harry. Take her away" he repeated slowly.
The two bodyguards nodded. Grabbing Hikari by the arms and lifting her one foot above ground.
"Let me GO you idiots!" she shouted.
"Where to sir?" Ralph asked.
"To her room." he threw a key at Ralph. "Lock her up, I will decide her punishment tomorrow."
Ralph caught the keys in a blink of an eye. "How about food sir?"
Her dad turned away.
The two bodyguards looked at each other. Child abuse? That's a bit harsh isn't it? Well orders are orders, better disconnect the phone chords and lock the windows as well.
Right before they left the room her dad said something. "Fine, lock her up with some leftover pizza."
"Yes sir." Harry replied.
Meanwhile Hikari was kicking and struggling in mid-air. "L-let go of me you idiots!" she retorted.
The bodyguards may have been professionally trained but they were starting to feel unbalanced. This girl sure is strong.
"Ughhh let go!" Hikari repeated.
They swung her onto her bed, yanked the phone cord and dragged the phone out with them. Locking the door as they exited.
Hikari immediately ran up to the door and started banging on it. "HEY! Let me out!" she commanded.
The door opened ajar and a box of cold pizza was thrown though it. The door immediately closed again.
Seika High, 8:31 PM
Everyone was called backstage for an important announcement.
"Listen up everyone!" the teacher shouted.
The chatting stopped.
"Now, we have received some bad news. I have received a text message from . Due to unknown reasons, Hikari cannot continue the play." he announced sadly.
Some aww's were heard.
"I know we have worked extremely hard for this, but at least we did most of it." the teacher said.
"But we NEED to end it!" a student shouted.
"Yeah! Without an ending we cant go on!" another one agreed.
"We have a spare dress at the back!" a student stated.
"Ooh! I wanna do it!" a girl volunteered.
"But you don't look anything like Hikari!" a boy replied.
"But who does?" another boy asked.
Sakura had an idea. "Ooh~! Misaki-chan does!"
Everyone turned toward Misaki.
"E-eh? Me?" Misaki stuttered.
The teacher took out the brochure made for the play with Hikari's picture on it. He walked toward Misaki. "Hmmm..." he mumbled as he simultaneously switched focus between the two of them. His expression seeming most unsatisfied.
"Uhh..."Misaki moaned silently.
"She's perfect!" he shouted with glee. Flinging the brochure in the air.
"E-eh what?" Misaki questioned in shock while everyone was celebrating around her.
"Now get this girl into the costume! The crowd is waiting!" the teacher said.
The girls saluted. "Right away sir!" they said. They grabbed Misaki and ran into the changing room.
Everything was going to fast. "Wait! Don't I get a say in thiiiiiiiiii-"
Before she could finish she was sucked into the changing room and the door closed.
"Hurry!" the teacher shouted. "Unless Hikari comes back this show continues in twenty minutes!" he said.
Hikari's Apartment, 8:34 PM
"Dammit." Hikari cursed, her back leaning against the door.
Hikari had managed to calm down. She has decided that the only way to win was to do what she does best. Scheme.
She stood up. She rummaged through her luggage and found her passport and dozens of hundred pound* notes. She grabbed her a handbag and stuffed the pizza into the front pocket and a few of her clothes into the back. Her dad may have trapped her in her room, but she refuses to stay. She changed into some jeans and a tank top and grabbed some gloves. She slipped on some sneakers (or trainers as the English people call it) and opened the window.
She looked down, a drain pipe, a nice wide ledge and the ground only four floors down. Chances are slim, but Hikari is motivated and crazy enough to go for it. "Sayonara idiots." she mumbled as she stepped out onto the wide ledge below her window.
The wind blew her hair across her face, sending a chill down her spine. She breathed in and out, ready to start her daredevil-like scheme. She slowly side-stepped across the ledge, hidden in the darkness of the night. As soon as she felt the drain pipe, she grabbed onto it with her arms and legs and slid down.
The timing had to be precise, only one second afterwards used the rubber of her shoe to slow her down. She landed on her butt on solid, cold cement. Not the best thing ever, but she was barely injured. Hikari smiled devilishly. Now all that's left is to go to Seika, grab Usui and get a flight to America- far away from wherever her dad is gonna look. She got into a cab and started calculating the time she has left. Seika is only 18 minutes away.
"Here I come Romeo..." she said. Her evil smile almost dominating her face.
