He cheered. " Sure Misa-chan!" And gave me a grin.

Misa POV

After Takumi gave me that grin, he turned back into his old -coughboringcough- self. "Miss Ayuzawa, could you make us some coffee while I cook our brunch?" Takumi asked with a less harsher tone than usual. I stiffly nodded and made coffee for us. One espresso just the way he likes it and one caramel mocha for me.

Soon, a heavenly aroma kissed my face. Entranced, I sniffed the air hungrily and unconsciously followed it like a zombie. The smell grew stronger and stronger. Then, I bumped into a wall "ow..." I said rubbing my nose. Punching the wall hard, It groaned in pain. Wait... Did the wall just groan in pain?

My eyes snapped open to see an amused Takumi holding dishes of food. Ignoring his presence completely, I eyed the food hungrily.

Growl... My stomach protested. The food looked so compelling. Just when I was about to get my hands on that delicious looking piece of bacon, Takumi slapped my hand away. Scowling I glared at him, crossed my arms and sulked. I was hungry! Chuckling and ruffling my hair, he chided me to wash my hands.

Grumbling as I did, I washed my hands rather sloppily half the time cursing Takumi. Then Takumi's chuckle filled the room. "Oh Ayuzawa if you don't hurry it up, I'm going to start without you!" He said lightheartedly. How dare he! I thought angrily running to the table without drying my hands.

"Took you long enough!" Takumi said shoving another pancake into his mouth. Gaping in anger that he started without me, I flicked the water on to his face making him glare at me. "Evil!" I finished and hogged the food all to myself.

I stuffed one pancake in after another chomping angrily with my mouth closed of course. Suddenly Takumi randomly reached out and poked my cheek. "Ne Misaki... you look like a chipmunk.." Takumi said cheekily flashing me an innocent grin as I glared at him with all my being.

"Shut up and let me enjoy the food" I said through mouthfuls of bacon and pancakes. Mmm these are so good. The butterscotch and chocolate on the pancake. The maple syrup oh and the whipped cream on top. I thought biting into another piece of heaven.

I unconsciously let a moan out making Takumi smirk smugly at me."I'm that great of a chef aren't I" Takumi said cockily and held his head high. "Psh! No" I denied stuffing another bacon slice into my mouth. "The food is good no matter who prepares it" I said with my mouth full making some pieces of food splutter out as I spoke.

His nose wrinkled in disgust. "Such impeccable manners you demonstrate in front of the higher up" Takumi said sarcastically. "I wonder if you actually do this in front of the customers" Snorting, I haughtily shot back "If you actually forgot, I serve the food not eat it" earning a quick shrug from him.

Deciding that I've won, I got back to pigging on the food not before letting out a small ha and flashing him a catty smile.

A few minutes later, I was bloated and bored so I decided to annoy Takumi by poking him. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" I said to try to get his attention. "What?" He said flashing me an annoyed look. "You suck" I sang merrily. "Okay now for the fiftieth time, go away." He said nonchalantly pushing me off. I could tell I was at the line.

Deciding that the poor man had enough torture, I went off to venture the beautiful penthouse. It was a beautiful day and I want to go outside really badly even though my legs were partially healed and needed rest. I decided to look for Takumi. I then found Takumi sleeping on the couch with ear pieces on. What are the odds.

Sneaking out of the living room, I stealthily escaped from the house but not before wearing a pair of oversized slippers. The beach was beautiful. Even more prettier in the day than night. The white sand that was so fine it was almost unnatural. Beautiful and colorful Seashells decorated the shore and palm trees were placed strategically along the shore. Crystal blue waves lapped the land lazily. Beckoning me to swim.

I wish I could. But I can't swim for my life. I'd literally sink to the bottom of the ocean if I ever set foot into a body of water. Like yesterday...

Deciding to just collect sea shells, I picked the prettiest and most exotic ones I could find and kept them.

Soon, I felt tired and the palm tree looked really comfortable at the moment. Making a make shift bed out of leaves, I soon drifted into a deep slumber as the sound of waves.

I felt someone nudging me. Suddenly, something licked my face. My eyes opened wide with shock. A mass of golden fur pounced on me. Licking my face. Tickling me.

"Down boy! Down!" I heard a rough voice command the dog strictly. I was met with friendly a brown eyed man who grinned widely at me. "Hi ! Thank Kami you're awake!" He said extending a hand out to me.

Grabbing it, he pulled me up. "For a moment, I thought you drowned" He said. I felt a cool breeze sweep past my damp bottom. Looking down, I saw that the sea level had risen quite a bit.

"My name is Shintani, Shintani Hinata" The guy said offering a hand to shake. Gripping his hand lightly, I shook it "I'm Misaki." I replied with a tight smile.

"Shintani, What are you doing here? isn't this private property?" I asked curiously. "Yeah it is. My beach house is just nearby. You're at the boundary of the Walker's stretch of land." He explained.

Oh my gosh Takumi! I thought as I started panicking. "It's nice meeting you Shintani but I'm afraid I have to go!" I said hurriedly running in the opposite direction he came from.

"Matte!" Shintani said running after me and grabbing my wrist forcing me to turn. "What?" I seethed through my teeth. Geez Takumi's probably throwing a hissy fit now. "W-will you go on a date with me?" Shintani said looking at me dead in the eye.

Not really hearing what he said, I hurriedly replied "Yeah sure whatever oh my gosh I have to go now! Bye!" I exclaimed. "Le Chez at 8pm!" He shouted to my running form.

Upon reaching a familiar beautiful beach house, I stopped abruptly. If I were too loud, I may wake Takumi up.

I crossed my fingers hoping that Takumi was still asleep. Tiptoeing cautiously towards the front door, I peeked around me careful not to step on any potentially dangerous things.

Huh. the coast is clear after all. I thought as I quietly opened the front door and sneaked in. All the while facing the outside of the house. Mentally cheering, I was about to sneak back into my room unnoticed when.

A person harrumphed dramatically from behind. My heart thumped loudly as I let out a loud scream of surprise. A pair of muscular arms sneaked around my waist drawing me close to a warm chest. A familiar masculine scent invaded my senses. I struggled but to no avail.

Suddenly, I was pinned against the main door. His calloused hand cupped my face making me meet his intense glare. Stern emerald eyes that held a hint of worry scrutinized me.

Dang! I'm so in for it now!
