A/N: Sorry for the long wait. I know I was suppose to update but I didn't. I'm recently getting back into updating and I also started a skip beat story. Since this story is on it's way to being I'm going to focus on updating this the most. Enjoy!
"How was your heart to heart moment with Ichigo?" Kou asks Misaki who sat by her desk reading through a pile of work.
"It was okay," Misaki looks up for a moment. "How do you know about that? Are you spying on me?"
Kou shrugs. "I have my ways."
"I'll prefer the privacy thank you very much. I was hoping since you have a girlfriend you would be out of my hair," Misaki says presuming to finish the work she is doing.
"I do not have a relationship with that woman!" He exclaims. How could anyone think he and Aiko were in a relationship? Don't they see him running away from her? It isn't hard to miss. He yells while he runs away from her. That woman is crazy.
"She's a sweet girl."
"I can tell you don't mean that and don't forget she was engaged to Takumi. Who knows what they really did together," Kou tells her in hopes in would strike a nerve with her.
And he did.
"They did nothing together," Misaki says in defence of Takumi. "I know Takumi wouldn't."
"Maybe he lied."
"He doesn't lie to me."
"Could be the first lie he ever told you."
"No. We don't lie to each other."
This is perfect. A sly smile forms on Kou's face. "Really? Then I assume you let him know now that you are about to take down Richard?"
Misaki eyes shoots up and glares at Kou. "I didn't lie about anything I just didn't mention it. There's a difference."
"A lie is a lie."
"Ugh. Don't you have work to do Kou? Work I pay you do? How is my plan coming along?" Misaki questions trying to change the subject but she really also needed to know how her secret plan really was coming along.
"Sighs. You never forced me to do work before. Now that Takumi is back in your life I am out the window," Kou dramatically drops down on a couch in Misaki's office. "What will happen to-"
"Kou!"
Misaki slammed her hand down on her desk startling Kou.
"Okay. I contacted them and they've got everything set up. It's just all on you now," He says quickly scared for his life. "We can have it finish by today if you like."
"Great. I need to make sure this goes smoothly. Oh and make sure you send the message to our dear friend Richard," Misaki smirks as everything is all falling into place.
After all her hard work for revenge she is finally going to get Richard. He had hurt so many people and it is time for him to pay. Patricia had already left and now it was time for Richard to do the same. How can one old man be so evil?
"Let the fun begin," Kou smiles loving the excitement he felt from everything they are doing.
Misaki nodded. This is the end of the line for you Richard.
- Walker Inc-
Knock Knock.
"Come in," Richard tells the person who is knocking on his office door. Since Takumi quit he had to step up and take full control of the company. It isn't like anything had changed since when Takumi was Ceo since Richard was the one making all the decisions then. Takumi was merely just a puppet and he pulled the strings.
Gerald walked into his Grandfather's office followed by Cedric.
"What is it?" Richard asks as he was not expecting a visit from Gerald today. Please let it not have anything to do with Misaki. He cannot stand that woman. She is pushing his limit.
Gerald takes a seat while Cedric stands beside him. "Have you received the notice yet?"
"What? Spit it out already Gerald. What notice?" Richard questions quite agitated and upset. Things have not been going well for him lately.
Gerald sighs for a moment then speaks. "The shareholders want to have a meeting tomorrow to discuss the company and the positions in it."
"What?!"
"Looking at it I think they want to make a few changes," Gerald explains how he views the situation.
Richard chuckles evilly. "You have much to learn Gerald. I have too much dirt on them for they to cross me. Do not put together that meeting."
"Wouldn't it just be better to see who out of the shareholders are going against what you say?"
This got Richard curious. "What do you have in mind?"
"Let's see who in our circle is going against us. With the whole Misaki and Takumi situation it would be the best idea to scope out those people or bring fear back into them so they know their place and whom they are messing with," Gerald says in way which pleased Richard to the max.
Richard chuckles. "Hahaha, You always know what to say. If only your brother was like you. Fine, put together that meeting so we can find the rats in our circle. Cedric, be sure to help him. I must retire early to prepare for tomorrow then."
Richard stands up and so does Gerald. Gerald bows and watches as his grandfather leaves him alone Cedric. Once Richard is nowhere in sight Gerald and Cedric begin to have a conversation of their own about the meeting.
"That woman has prepared everything now right? She cannot fail," Gerald tells Cedric.
"Yes," Cedric answers.
"Tomorrow will be an exciting day for the Walkers. Hopefully she succeeds. I need to finish this for my mother's sake."
- Takumi's apartment-
Takumi watches silently as Misaki moved around his apartment, well their apartment, singing a sweet tune and dancing along with it. Something is up with her but he just can't put his finger on it. What is making her so happy? Work? Maybe. Her mom? Could be. A new guy? Definitely not. It is these times where Misaki is extremely happy and cheerful which Takumi needs to be scared. Especially when he does not know the reason why she is acting this way. He hasn't done anything bad to her lately for her to be secretly trying to kill him. At least that's what he thought.
"Hey Misaki! Did something good happen to you today?" He finally asks what has been bugging him.
"What? Oh yes! Something great happened," Misaki says attempting to twirl like a ballerina. "Something that will finally make me at peace with myself once and for all. There is so much happiness in me right now."
Takumi folds his arms. "Care to share the good news?"
Misaki suddenly calms down. "Huh? Uhm...it's actually nothing. I had a good day at work today."
"That's a lie."
"No. We don't lie to each other."
Misaki pales up. That was definitely a lie but what Kou doesn't know won't kill him. She thinks back to her conversation with Kou.
"I know when you are lying Misaki," Takumi replies making his way to her. "And I also know how to make you talk," he adds in a low deep voice.
"Maybe I'm just happy to be here with you?" Misaki states trying to find a reason to replace why she is so happy.
"I like that Misaki but you said something great happened today. I'll find out sooner or later what it is."
"H-How was your day," She tries to change the subject.
Takumi smirks and Misaki knows he won't let this go.
"It was good."
"Really? Wha-Hey!" She yells when Takumi lifts her over his shoulder and carries her to his living room as they were previously in the kitchen.
He puts her down to rest on his lap as he sits on a couch caging her in his arms.
"What on earth are you doing pervert!"
"Didn't you say you were happy to see me? Were you lying, if so tell me-"
Misaki quickly hugs Takumi. "You're right. I'm happy for you."
Well isn't this perfect, Takumi thinks. "Why are you happy to see me?"
Dammit. He isn't playing fair.
"I'm happy to see you because I, give me a second."
Takumi wants to laugh right there and then but he holds it in.
"Because I love you and I miss being around you today," Misaki answers.
"Hmm. Okay. I love you too Misaki," Takumi stays silent until he responds. "But I'll still find out."
"If you didn't believe me then why make me say that stuff," She argues, leaning away from him as much as she can.
"Because I like hearing you compliment me."
"Baka," She muttered laying her head against his chest.
"I know," He states playing with her hair until she falls asleep
- The next day-
The next day Walker Inc was busy as all of it's shareholders would be meeting to discuss the business. Inside of the meeting room Richard is seated in the middle at the bottom of a long desk and on each side of this table sat the shareholders. Gerald is seated beside his grandfather patiently waiting for everything to unfold.
Richard however is more annoyed than ever today because he didn't want this meeting to happen in the first place and three of the shareholders are missing. He'll deal with them later. They are already fifteen minutes late.
"What do we without the three of them?" A shareholder asks Richard.
"Who was the one that requested this meeting?" Richard questions everyone in the room. "Answer me!"
The door for the meeting room opens.
"Sorry I'm late everyone," Misaki says as she enters the room.
"You. What are you doing here?" Richard questions her.
"Isn't this a shareholder's meeting. I own twenty percent of shares in this company thanks to three of your old friends," Misaki explains looking around for her seat. She spots three empty chairs. " Your family own forty-five percent shares. That's you, Gerald and Patricia. The others in the room all own added together own fifteen."
"How did you- Did you spy into our files?" Richard accuses her.
"No way. I just heard the gossip."
"There is no way I'm letting you decide anything in my company," Richard assures her. "Gerald. Who owns the remaining shares?"
"That would be Takumi and he's on his way here so I suggest we continue," Gerald tells his grandfather. Everything is now set.
Misaki's eyes widened hearing Takumi will be here. She didn't know he was the last shareholder.
"Why is the mood so dull?" Someone asks as they enter the room.
Misaki looks up and meets the eyes of Takumi. Crap.
Takumi spots Misaki amongst the crowd. "Looks like I found out why you were so happy Misa chan."
