Hi guys!Thank you for enjoying last chapter. The response was great. Hope you enjoy this chapter. I have summer now so updates will start to come back weekly now I have free time.
"Don't think it's easy to get me back. You have no idea what I went through."
Takumi sighs and backs away from her. "You know Misaki, I regret loving you."
"What?" Misaki mumbles in disbelief. Is this guy serious? After everything she went through for him and he has the nerve to say he regrets loving her. He cannot be serious. "You regret loving me?"
"Yes."
"THEN WHY COME AROUND ME?" Misaki yells getting angry. How could he say this to her. It is just like the night they broke up five years ago.
Takumi sighs. "I mean if I didn't love you, you wouldn't be tangle up in this mess with my family. You could've been happy with someone by now…" He holds his head down low to avoid her gaze.
Misaki is surprise but understands why he said that. "What about you then?"
"Huh?"
"What would happen to you if you hadn't met me? You would've gone on each day without a care in the world and not experience happiness," Misaki explains running her left hand through her hair. "I don't regret loving you ever so don't say that. It's just no one from your family agreed to our relationship and I understand why…"
Takumi finally looks at her. "Misaki believe me they do-"
"No," She stops him shaking her head. "They were right. You had a great future ahead of you and I was just a poor girl making things worst for you but that didn't mean I deserved to be treated that way."
Takumi sighs. "You're right but I'm still to blame."
"How?" Misaki questions.
"I couldn't protect you from everything in the past . I was weak and I should've seen how much you were hurting. M-Misaki I am truly sorry for all the things I put you through and your mother…." Takumi trails off looking at her surprise expression.
"What did my mother have to do with you breaking up with me?"
"Misaki liste-"
"What was the deal made with your family for breaking up with me? You know the first year after we broke up and my mother's treatment was denied I found out it was under your order and I thought you must've really hated me. I thought maybe you didn't love me after all since you knew how important my mother's treatment was. I hated you but I was wrong. I knew you wouldn't have done that," Misaki says softly. It hurts to recall the past. She was so scared when she thought her mother was going to die. She took her anger and blamed everything on Takumi.
"I knew there had to be some sort of deal with your family, so what was it?" She asks again but this time her tone of voice is firm pleading him to tell her.
"If I didn't leave you your mother's treatment would've been stopped but I guess they still pulled some strings and did that."
"What else?"
"Your house, maid latte, everything would've been destroyed. "
"So you saved it all," Misaki smiles sadly. "Thanks but please stop."
"Misaki I can't let you continue this with my family. I'll make sure they get what they deserve just please stop!" Takumi begs her. He reaches out for her hands but she moves away.
"I'm sorry but I can't do that. They've hurt to much people close to me and I want to be the one to ruin them all. I won't take my anger out on you since all you did was try to protect me."
"Misaki my mother and I-"
Misaki stops him. "By the way, you shouldn't tell your mother everything."
Takumi is stunned. "You can trust my mother like always…"
"Your mother is the highlight of what happened to me. This is why I don't want you involved. You love your mother but haven't seen her the way I have," Misaki says.
"What happened in the past? What did they do?" Takumi asks her. It has always been on his mind.
Misaki smiles sweetly. She raises her hand to push away his hair out of his face. "They made me lose something precious and for that they will regret it."
"What does that mean? Something precious? Can you please tell me."
Misaki slowly backs away from him. "Who knows what it means and it's something you should hear from your family." She makes sure she has all her stuff to leave. "I'll go to a hotel. Goodbye Usui."
"Wait!" He calls to her. Misaki pauses and turns to look at him. "Is there a possibility of us getting back together? Do you still love me like in the past? Please stop running away from me."
"Because I'm running away from you doesn't mean I don't love you. I just don't want to hurt you with the outcome," She whispers ready to walk out his door.
"Then stay with me tonight. Just for tonight please…"
Her cell phone suddenly rings. She looks at the ID and sees Kou's name.
"Stay please."
Misaki turns off her phone.
"Okay."
Later that night Takumi gives Misaki his room while he sleeps on the couch. Misaki can not fall asleep. Her mind keeps replaying all the memories of her and Takumi together. She can't get back together with him right now. She sighs and tries to fall asleep.
The next day
Takumi rubs his eyes as the sun rays beam down on him from the window. He lazily gets up wondering why he's sleeping on the couch but remembers last night's events. Misaki!
He quickly gets up to check his room but when he opens the door she's not in the bedroom. All that's left is a note.
Something urgent came up. Sorry I couldn't say bye.
Why can't things just work out for the two of them. He will not be able to go and see her because he has to leave for a business trip today. He'll have to talk to her when he comes back. Hopefully he'll settle everything between them next time.
Meanwhile
Misaki is currently in her car driving on her way back home. Ichigo better have her house in one piece or else. Maybe Kou should- Kou. Misaki reaches for her phone and turns it on.
53 Calls from Kou.
104 Text messages from Kou.
"What is wrong with him calling me so much," Misaki mumbles annoyed. She speed dials his number. "Hey w-"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER. ICHIGO IS IN THE HOSPITAL!"
"Wait what?"Misaki's car stops in the middle of traffic. "Say it calmly this time. He's where?"
Kou tries to calm down on the other end of the phone. He was trying to reach her all night. "Kou is in the hospital. Just...Just come here for now."
"O-okay!" Misaki puts down her phone and swings the car in the other lane to go to the hospital. What the hell is going on? All she can do right now is hope Ichigo is alright.
The hospital
Misaki rushes through the hospital corridors trying to find Ichigo's room. Her heart starts to beat rapidly the closer she gets to the room. She was suppose to protect him when she took him in but how did he end up in the hospital.
"Here it is," She whispers and pushes open the door. The first thing she sees is Ichigo sitting on a bed with a few bandages and Kou standing next to him. Misaki makes her way over to him.
"What happened? Did that party get too wild? Are you-"
"Woah! Calm down there," Ichigo tries to stop her rant. "I'm okay just got into a fists fight and now I have to use the bathroom. I'll be right back," He adds as slowly making his way to the bathroom ignoring Misaki's help.
Misaki sighs and flops down on the bed. "What happened?"
"Richard sent some guys to attack him. Thankfully Ichigo knows how to fight but they still hurt him pretty bad. I have some of their guys holding," Kou explains to Misaki who looks devastated.
"I shouldn't have left him."
"It isn't something we could've avoided."
"But I let him get hurt. I can't let that happen again," Misaki says sadly. She needs to start protecting the people she cares about.
"What do we do now?" Kou questions.
"Well my blood is fuming with anger. Those guys you have let's make a deal with them. Richards going to get what's coming to him," Misaki clenches thinking about that old man. "Prepare a car for me once I'm finished here. I have some business to settle."
"OK. Uhmm...why didn't you answer your phone? Did you and him-"
Misaki shakes her head. "No. It wasn't like that. We just got a few things off our chest I guess."
"Are you two back together?" Kou asks hoping she'll say no.
"Can we not talk about this right now?"
Silence fills the room until Ichigo walks back in. He sits on the bed beside Misaki. "Please don't do anything stupid."
"I won't I promise."
Ichigo lays down on the bed. "They're probably celebrating. I really feel like killing that guy. He keeps interfering with my life. Do you think Richard remembers who I really am? I can't wait for the moment he does."
"He's hurt too many people. They will all get what's coming to them sooner than they think."
Walker Mansion
"Diner was really great. I must visit that restaurant again," Aiko says politely to Richard. He took his family except Takumi to diner and had invited Aiko since she will be marrying him soon.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. We must do this more often," Richard chuckles smiling.
Ring!
Gerald's phone starts to ring. "Hell-"
"Why didn't you tell us that kid had something to do with the YU Gang."
"What? The jobs been done so why worry," Gerald yells into the phone.
"Game over."
The phone disconnects.
"Hello? Are you there? Dammit!" Gerald throws his phone onto the floor.
"What was that about?" Richard questions his beloved grandson.
"Our little friend said something about game over."
"Game over? What does that mean?" Patricia cuts in.
"It means that I'm preparing to end you," A voice says.
They look towards Richards desk and spots Misaki.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?" He yells.
"I'm just visiting," Misaki answers innocently playing with a vase on the desk.
"Be careful with that. It's more expensive than your little business," Gerald warns her.
"What are you doing here?" Patricia hiss with venom in her voice.
Misaki pushes the vase off the desk. "I'm here because you people messed with someone dear to me and I'M ANGRY."
"So what? Get out! We're not scared of you," Aiko says brave while the others nod their heads in agreement.
Misaki chuckles but then her gaze turns deadly. "Right now you should be! Let's have a chat."
"This looks like an interesting meeting. Am I too late?" Another voice interrupts.
Everyone turns and sees Tora Igarashi this time.
"No you showed up right in time," Richard smirks and looks over to Misaki. "Help me get her out of my house."
Tora shakes his head chuckling. "I'm afraid my partner has something to say."
"What?"
Tora makes his way over to Misaki. "She said let's have a chat right?"
"So sit," Misaki finishes it off for him.
Tora smirks. "I think duke, this is when you get scared."
