Hi guys, I'm back to updating my full time stories. It has been long hasn't it? But I think the archive is slowly coming back which is good. (Please don't die Maid sama archive XD). For all those who are now back, you can check out my one shots I posted and now, let's get on with the chapter!

Previously

"I've created a new company," He answers with his trademark smirk.

"You're the guy she used to date, NICE!" Ichigo, who ruins the atmosphere, says all of a sudden

"Ichigo!" Misaki yells and Takumi couldn't help but snicker.

"So, what do you say Misa?" Takumi asks one more time. With two of them working together, Walker Inc. will definitely be destroyed. But of course, he would save all the employee's jobs because he had grown accustomed to them and it wasn't their fault what his messed up family did. They were only doing their job.

Misaki scratched her head not knowing what to think in the moment. This was a big deal, especially for her plans but she made a promise with herself to not involve Takumi into her business. She took a deep breath, making a decision. "I can't think about this now, Ichigo and I are going to have lunch so-"

"I'll come along with you guys," Takumi insisted. He wasn't going to back down from this. One way or another he'll become close to her again.

Misaki's lip twitched. "I'm sure Ichigo just wants to have lunch with me sor-"

"I don't mind," Ichigo voiced.

Misaki rubbed her forehead. These two could drive her insane. She didn't want to ruin Ichigo's day over small talk with Takumi so, "Ok."

Takumi smiled resting his hands in his pockets. Maybe he and this Ichigo kid will get along great.

"Calenos, you should know where it is," Misaki states then walks away to find her car, along with Ichigo. She would have to pray to the heavens this would go well.

Takumi silently chuckles watching Misaki walk off with Ichigo to her car. "How could I forget that place Misaki."

He turns his heel and heads to find his car.

….

"Over here," Misaki yells when she see's Takumi now entering Calenos. She had arranged for a private table to avoid unwanted attention. She wasn't the same person from the past. She had fame and money now, things she never had before. "We had to move our table for the extra guest. I thought it would be better to wait for you."

"Thank you. We can go to our seats now!" Takumi answers, following the host who would lead them to their private place.

They went into a room which was very well furnished. It had a total of four chairs in the room. Takumi walked over to the table and pulls out a chair for Misaki. She gladly accepts and sits down, followed by Takumi who sat next to her.

"Guess I have to pull out my own chair," Ichigo sighs, pulling out his own chair, taking a seat.

Misaki glares over at him. She was going to get him back for this.

"What will our orders be everyone?' The waitress questions, ready to take their orders.

"We would like two orders of okonomiyaki please," Misaki says, not even having to look menu.

The waitress turns to Takumi batting her eyelashes with a seductive smile on her face. But sadly for her, Takumi doesn't seem to notice.

"I'll have the same," He tells her, not taking his eyes from Misaki, who was trying to avoid his stare.

The waitress left with there orders and a bad mood at her fail attempts to get Takumi to notice her.

"So-" Takumi started but Misaki got up excusing herself to the bathroom. He sighed and looked at Ichigo. "Guess it's just me and you."

"Yes, and it would be the perfect time to have a little chat with you if it's ok," Ichigo admits, hoping this chance to talk to Takumi wouldn't be a waste.

Takumi raised his eyebrow curious. "Fine, ask away."

"You and Misaki dating in the past right?"

Takumi nodded, "That's right." Maybe agreeing to this little chat wasn't the right thing.

"Then why did you break up, it's been on my mind for awhile now and Misaki doesn't want to tell me," Ichigo explains pouring himself a glass of water from the table. He secretly glances up to see Takumi's reaction to his question but his face remained the same as before.

"It's a little complicated," Takumi admits running his hand through his blond locks. He hated looking back at his past with how he and Misaki ending. He only wished he had the power back then to stop them from going their separate ways. When he thinks about the deals he had to make with his family just to keep her safe it made him want to beat the crap out of them.

"Ok, I understand. Here's the last question. What do you plan to do now that you're back?" Ichigo ponders, wanting a serious answer. No one was going to hurt Misaki again. Not when he's around.

"I lost her once, I don't plan to do that again. I still love her. I always have and always will, even if she doesn't want to be with me anymore," Takumi smiled at his little confession. He's been waiting to tell someone, anyone as a matter of fact, about how he felt. He just had no one too. "Once she's happy, I'm happy."

Ichigo nodded his head in approval of Takumi. It wasn't one hundred percent yet but it was a start. "That isn't enough. You need to make her happy with you. She's been lonely on the inside all these years even if she doesn't let it show on the outside, I can tell."

"Then don't mind if I steal her away," Takumi smirks. At least another person had faith in them.

"I don't mind but if you hurt her. I'm just warning you because of Misaki, I'm close to that gang. Be careful or I'll hurt you."

"I'll be careful then," Takumi chuckles. He was happy someone like this was around Misaki to make her days interesting.

Unknown to them, Misaki stood by the door overhearing every word they said. "Baka," She mumbles softly. Who says I'll fall for you again?

She waits a moment to recollect herself before she walks back into the room, just in time for when the food arrives.

They sat in silence to enjoy their food. There was a new awkward tension in the room but no one wanted to address it in the moment. They seemed to decided mentally, to leave it until the end. But no one said a word even when they had finished eaten. Misaki grew tired of it and decided to state her answer for Takumi's proposal.

"I'm sorry Takumi but Gold partners won't accept your help."

Takumi was cut off guard by her answer. He thought she would agree but clearly she had other plans. "Misaki, we can take them down together."

"I won't say anything to anyone about your new company and neither will Ichigo, you have our promise," Misaki ignores his comment.

"Why Misaki?"

"Because I will do this on my own." I don't want to get involved with the past!

"Misaki, just let me help you. I'll make it up to you. For the past and everything, just please Misa chan," Takumi begged. This wasn't how he wanted things to go. "Ichigo, can you give us a moment?"

Ichigo looked between them and got up from his seat. He took up the car keys. "I'll be in the car, Misaki."

They waited for Ichigo to leave to finish their conversation.

"Look Misaki, I know you don't want to be around me because of the past but please let me make up for it," Takumi tells her just wishing she would stop avoiding him.

"Takumi, we had a past that's all. Let's just forget about that and carry on like we don't know each other," Misaki pleaded but she avoided his gaze.

"Misaki, I just can't let go of the past. You are the only person I have ever loved. I thought about you everyday for the past five years. If I could roll back time, I would've stayed with you if I could," Takumi says, turning her to look him in the eyes.

"You don't understand what I went through back then. Everyday being told I wasn't good for you. At some point, I started to realise that myself," Misaki blurts out not being able to control her mouth. "It all went away because I told myself, once you loved me it would all be ok. But I-I…"

Takumi pulled her close when she couldn't continue. It must have been hard for her. He felt his shirt become moist with her tears. Misaki suddenly pulls away from him.

"It'll be best for us to not meet each other anymore, just let go like I have," Misaki begged of him once more. This was really hard for her too. He was the only guy she had ever loved also.

Takumi's gazed became unreadable for a moment. "I won't let you go Misaki," He promised placing a small kiss on her lips. He stood up to leave her alone and walked out the room. "Never again," He added.

Misaki watched as he left. Things were becoming complicated now. She grabbed her purse to go pay for the food but when she got there it seemed that Takumi had already payed for everything. She sighed and went out the restaurant to meet Ichigo.

She sat in the driver's seat putting on her seatbelt. "Don't ask about it please."

And so Ichigo decided to leave the conversation for another day.

…..

The next day, Misaki was standing around in her office looking over the files Walker Inc had sent for the company they wanted to destroy but she saved it. They had no idea what they had just done giving it to her. What a big mistake.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in," Misaki called, placing the files away for now.

She watched Kou enter her office, followed by a young lady. She was very beautiful, with long brown hair to her waist and had hazel coloured eyes. Misaki could tell with the way she's dressed, that she was a daughter of a very rich family. But what was she doing here? She had no important appointments for the day.

"Miss Aiko of the Tachibana family would love to set a meeting with you," Kou explains waiting for Misaki's approval on whether she would conclude a meeting but he knew she would never turn away anyone.

"Sure, have a seat Miss Aiko. Kou, you can leave for now," Misaki orders him taking a seat. She notices Aiko staring at her very intensely and it makes it kind of awkward. "What can I do for you?"

"I don't want to pretend to be polite, I know who you are and your past. Which concludes to why me and you have a problem," Aiko answers with so much hatred towards Misaki in her voice.

Misaki was quite confused. What problem could they have if they never met before?

"And what problem is that?"

"The problem with interfering with my relationship with Walker Inc's Ceo, Takumi Walker,"Aiko sums it up more clearly for her.

Misaki was very irritated by this accusation of her. "You seem to have the wrong idea because we don't have a relationship anymore."

"You better not or my father's company will be your worst nightmare," Aiko smirks thinking she got the best of Misaki.

"What was that? Was it suppose to scare me off? For that to work, I would have to consider you a threat, wouldn't I?" Misaki shot back. She could see the surprised look on Aiko's face when she didn't budge at her 'threat'.

"You better stay away from him, especially since we are to be engaged," Aiko smiles, glad to share her little news.

"What?" Misaki exclaims, not expecting Takumi to be getting engaged after he said all those things yesterday.

"I heard everything about you, what they did in the past to you. I only wished I could've watch. How did it feel to…." Aiko stopped when she realised how Misaki was glaring at her.

"They're spreading that huh? How truly disgusting they are and you for enjoying it. You might want to consider how you approach me laughing at that or you and I might have a problem for real," Misaki warns with a deadly aura around her.

Aiko chuckled. "I'll make you wish you stayed away from him. A commoner doesn't belong here."
