Kaichou wa maid sama! Fanfic
Hikari Rashi
Chapter 15
Seika High, 8:42 PM
The audience's good mood is starting to drop down to the 'annoyed and grumpy' zone. The farther the time before the final scene stretches the farther their patience does. Around two or four people have left due to the short amount of time they had to watch the play. Misaki has just finished changing. The cooling sensation of relief flowing through her veins, every problem is solved. She is wearing a spare Juliet dress, filled with pink frills and a buff, itchy interior. The dress was really tight and extremely itchy, but it was easy for the demon president to cope with it.
"Eight minutes everyone! Eight minutes!" the teacher excitedly reminded everyone.
"Misakiiii~~!" Sakura squealed.
"Ah! Sakura, what are you doing he-"
"Congratulations Misaki-chan! You got the part!" Sakura said.
"A-ah thank you Sakura." Misaki replied.
Sakura moved in beside Misaki's ear. "You also get to kiss Usui, all the girls are really jealous!" she whispered.
Misaki flinched, a thin red blush started to appear on her face. "Y-yeah..."
"Sakura! Can you help us over here?" A girl shouted from across the stage.
"Yeah! See ya Misaki-chan! Congrats again!" she shouted while running across to help out.
"Yeah, thanks." Misaki said. She turned around and Usui was standing in front of her.
He walked in front of her and stopped. "Look to your left Ayuzawa." he whispered, and he continued to walk past her.
"Huh?" Misaki mumbled. She looked to her side, several bright devil eyes were watching her every move. Judging by the length of their hair and their uniforms they were probably some jealous girls that Sakura mentioned. A dark aura was surrounding them, voices were heard- mostly wails on how lucky she was on getting the part. "E-heh...hi you guys..." Misaki said.
"Hello Misaki." they all replied in a dark tone.
"I'm gonna go now..." Misaki said, walking away.
A taxi, 8:43 PM
Hikari was sitting in the back impatiently, only five minutes until she reaches Seika- earlier then planned. She decided to phone Gerard incase her father has informed him of the failure of her plan. She didn't have her usual cellphone but Hikari always thinks ahead, she has an extra one in her closet. Those stupid bodyguards didn't bother checking the room thoroughly. She has the Walker's mansion number in her contacts.
After a few rings some butler must have picked up. "Good morning*, this is the Walker mansion. How may I be of service?" a butler asked.
"This is Hikari Rashi, may I speak with Gerard?" Hikari asked.
"I am sorry Sir Gerard isn't currently at the mansion. But I will transfer you call."
There was a long beep then some ringing. A few seconds later Gerard picked up. "Good evening Hikari."
"Hey Gerard has my father told you abo-"
"Heard about your play from my butler Cedric, he's been recording the entire thing." he interrupted.
"Oh ok. Where are you?" Hikari asked.
Gerard sighed. "I'm in a hotel in Japan, I flew here to make sure your plan succeeds. Although the current situation doesn't look to good...for you that is." his tone dead serious.
"I'm on my way to fix that, my dad found out about the plan." Hikari replied.
Gerard became mildly startled. "W-wait, you father knows about the plan?" he asked almost alarmingly.
"Yes but I'm gonna fix that, I'm on my way to Seika, I'm gonna grab Usui and head to America." she replied.
Gerard was startled this wasn't part of the plan he agreed to fund. "But wait! The main objective was to ge-"
Hikari arrived at Seika."I'm already here. Bye." she said, ending the call.
She got out of the cab and gave the driver some pocket change from her wallet. Which took a while to locate through the fat wads of cash she had. She told him to keep the change and hastily grabbed her backpack and jumped out of the car, running toward the theatre. On her way she brushed of some of the dirt she got from the climb down the building and she tied her hair up using a rubber band that she got in her backpack.
"Right on time..." she mumbled.
Seika High, 8:49 PM
Misaki was at the edge of the stage, curtains closed, only seconds from opening. Excitement was building up in the audience, almost picking up from where it left off a half hour ago. The stagehands were just setting up the rest of the props. The teacher walked up onto stage. He raised his hand, his fingers counting down to the raising of the curtains
Three...Two...One...
Whoosh!
Right before the teacher gave the signal a girl leaped onto the stage and dashed through the curtains. Everyone stunned to see who this girl was. She raised her head and she spoke.
"I'm back..." Hikari said.
Like a gunshot, several conversations started.
"Hikari!" the teacher said in amazement. "B-but your father said t-"
"Forget what he said! Let's just finish this damn play, seeing that the final scene hasn't started yet..." she said.
"Err...but the audience is waiting." the teacher said.
"They can wait." Hikari said, walking toward the changing room.
"B-but."
Hikari turned around. "They can wait." she said, her tone dark and threatning.
"Y-yes Hikari..." the teacher replied shakily.
Hikari walked toward the changing room, she glanced at Misaki, standing right in her path in the spare Juliet costume. No worries, she's got her costume in her big fat travelers bag. As she passed by the shocked demon president she paused when she got around one foot behind her. She chuckled softly. "Game over Misaki." she mumbled as she continued to the changing room.
Misaki heard the changing room door close behind her. "That's right..." the words no louder than a pin drop. "Game over..."
All hope is lost...

8:55 PM
The audience's mood is turning critical, a mere six minutes and they have become more annoyed and impatient than before. Around a dozen people have left already. It's been almost an hour since this play was meant to finish. Some people say the end of a play is as important as the beginning, well this one better be good considering how long they had to wait for the damn scene.
Hikari has just gotten out of the changing room. Her Juliet costume the same as before (with a few minor crumples). Although by the squeaks that come out when she walks it seems that she's still wearing sneakers (or trainers or whatever) looks like there weren't any spare heels. She walked toward the stage, the final moment between her and the rest of her life. Her plan is going to succeed after all.
"Come on! Let's end this thing!" the teacher shouted. He ran center stage in front of the microphone. He raised his hand again with three fingers raised.
Three...Two...One...
As the final finger dropped the stagehands pulled the curtains aside and the audience applauded. That applause showed how excited they were after all the waiting. Pitiful.
The teacher turned on the microphone."Ahem. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry for the long delay of the final scene. We have had some difficulties with the actress who is performing the part of Juliet. We sincerely apologize for this proble-"
"Just get on with it already!" an impatient audience member shouted.
The teachers eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "Anyway, without further ado, I present to you the final scene of Seika High's first production. Romeo and Juliet!" he shouted.
The audience gave another pitiful round of applause.
At that moment the girls released the jar of fireflies, within seconds all of them were dotted across the stage. A few Ooo's and Aah's came from the audience.
The gentle music started to play and the two slowly walked onto the stage. You could hear the clacking of Hikari's heels, taking long gentle strides toward the middle of the stage. On the other end was Usui, his boots hitting the stage, thumping loudly.
As the two reached center stage, about one meter apart, Hikari spoke. "Romeo..." she said almost hastily.
Usui's eyebrow twitched. "Juliet..." he replied, with a hint crookedness in his voice.
Hikari grinned devilishly.
"Tch..." Usui mumbled. He put one hand behind Hikari's waist and one behind her head.
Hikari slowly closed her eyes and positioned her head for the kiss.
Well no use turning back or Hikari will cut everyone's head off. Usui slowly and cautiously lowered his head for the kiss.
Their lips are only centimeters away. The small distance between them starting to close. As soon as there is no distance between them, there is no hope.
Seconds like minutes, minutes like hours. Time is passing by as slow as hell for Misaki. Their just a hair apart now. "Dammit..." she curses.
Suddenly the audience gasps.
"Huh?" Hikari mumbles. She opens her eyes.
Usui pushes Hikari away immediately.
Hikari falls of balance and falls down. She gets up, rubbing a spot on her head, using her other arm to keep her up. She looks toward the audience. Or at least where the audience was.
It was complete chaos. Dozens of people running toward their nearest exit. Everyone leaving as if they were water in a bucket full of holes. In the middle of the sea of people several people are lined up in dark green bullet-proof vests. They were holding guns, shields and they were all looking at one person. Hikari.
As soon as the last terrified audience member fled from the tent Hikari, who was still on the floor of the stage spoke."What the hell are you doing?" Hikari roared furiously.
None of them replied.
Usui slowly and inconspicuously made his way backstage.
Suddenly the uniformed men started to part, and out came a young gentleman. Around his late teens, black haired and good looking. In other words, Gerard.
"W-what are you doing here? You have completely ruined the play!" Hikari shouted. She got up and leaned down toward Gerard. "and more importantly, the plan." she hissed through her teeth.
Gerard calmly replied. "Well that is why I have come here. The plan. You have completely ruined it." his voice as silent as a whistle.
"W-what?" Hikari replied, she has no idea what he's talking about. Completely ruined it? She was fixing it for all she cares.
"Let's talk about this later, shall we?" he said. He turned around and walked back. The uniformed men parting as he passed by.
"Wait! Come back here traitor!" Hikari shouted.
"Take her away." Gerard said.
"Affermative. Miss Rashi you are under arrest for blackmail, scheming and running away from a secured location." one of the men replied. Probably their leader.
Suddenly two men jumped onstage. "I'm afraid you're going to have to come with us Miss Rashi." they said as each of them grabbed one of her arms.
"H-hey! Let go!" Hikari retorted.
"Let's go boys." their leader ordered.
"Yes sir!" the men replied.
They all started to exit the theatre. The men holding Hikari lifted her offstage and ran out the door.
"L-let go of me you idiots!" she said, her legs kicking the air.
Without another word, the two men exited the theatre.
An eerie silence dawned over the students of Seika High. All their minds buzzing with the same thought.
"What...the heck...just happened?" a boy said.
None of them knew. But people are going to be talking about this for a LONG time.
