Haiii(: Omigosh. I know what everyone is going to say, that I'm a total slacker and that I don't care about any of you at all. ): I do, I do, it's just that school has been killing me. So much tests and homework, I barely have time to sleep. I haven't updated in 2 months. 2 freaking months. I know I'm a horrible person. Anyway, a certain reviewer's review popped up in my email, and that motivated me to stop my homework and distress by writing a story. Thanks, wolfbound321! xD

Reply to Twinkle Earthling: Ahhhhh! I'm sosososo sorrie for such a late update. I'm pathetic, huh. Though this reply is soooo late, hopefully you finished your homework already. :D I'm still horrible at indices, btw. Ohh, and no, I'm not S3, my school just teaches some things way too fast most of the time! :D Thanks so much! ^^

Truthfully, I love all of my readers and I'm just so sorrie about my absence for such a long period of time. I can't promise, but I'll try my very hardest to update ASAP! Thankkyou all for the reviews so far, and I hope you'll continue supporting this horrible author here. This story may suck and be OOC, beware. :3 Enjoy!

*DISCLAIMER: I will never own maid-sama, sadly.*

Title: Third times a charm

"Could you, like, stop pestering me?" Misaki was getting more and more irritated with that devil.
She was walking down the hallway to her next class, and Usui Takumi seemed to be stalking her, every single time she turned back to look, there he was. An innocent puppy face appeared on his face as he replied, "I'm just walking to my next class, you're way too paranoid, angel."

Rolling her eyes, Misaki hurried off, anxious to get him out of her sight. Her temper was getting worse, but who could blame her? That devil was annoying her every day, yet she just could not find a chance to kill him. After all, everyone in the class would certainly notice if Usui Takumi suddenly vanished.

Although Misaki really hated him, there was something tugging at her. In the very back of her mind, she felt something. A feeling that she had never ever felt before. Each time she closed her eyes at night, the image of Usui Takumi kissing her would appear, enchanting her dreams. Wait, no. Not enchanting, it was more like haunting her nightmares. He was a devil, he had sided with Satan and had fallen from heaven, there was no way that Misaki could even have an inch of liking to such a demon. A devil was the worst kind there was, they were the ones that had sided with Satan during the argument so many years ago when Satan was still welcomed in heaven, or rather Lucifer as he was known then.

For some unknown reason, Misaki was actually curious to know more about Usui Takumi. His past, his family, his life, and most importantly, who he was and why she had to kill him. Normally, angels and devils left each other alone and did not fight much. But, all Misaki really knew was that all the devils were not really devils, they were angels that had sided with Satan and had fallen, abandoning the title of 'angel'. Why did Usui Takumi fall in the first place? His history was just so unknown and mysterious, Misaki was determined to find out more about the 'devil' that she had been tasked to slay before she slayed him.

One day, right after a lesson had ended, Misaki decided to ask Usui herself. What was a better way to find out about someone than to ask that person himself? She turned to face him, only to realise that he had been staring at her all along. Her face started to glow as she stammered, "Why…Why are you staring at me like… like that?" Usui Takumi chuckled. "Oh, nothing much, just imaging some things in my mind about a certain angel." Uuuggghhh. What was wrong with him, always talking like that?

With a deep sigh, Misaki attempted to compose herself. She needed an excuse to actually ask him about himself. "Look, I'm on a mission and I need to fulfil it. But first, I need to find out more. About you, I mean. You past, your life, whatever. So you better talk." With a tender smile, Usui Takumi replied. "Of course, I would love to assist you in any way that I can, angel. But first, I need you to fulfil my criteria, you will agree to my one request once I finish." Desperate to get answers, she nodded.

"I was born in heaven just like you. I was an angel, just like you. When I was seventeen, I fell in love with a human girl. Of course, it was not allowed. I thought that if I fell, I would be able to become a human and be with her. And so I fell and our romance started. But, things never go as planned. I had fallen as an angel and I couldn't age, couldn't grow old with her. Before her 20th birthday, she fell sick, and passed away. And until now, I have been roaming the Earth alone. Truthfully, I have not sided with Satan, I fell for my own reasons."

Wow. Misaki never knew that Usui Takumi had had such a sad past. She spoke, choosing her words carefully. "I see, but what I don't understand is why I'm tasked to kill you. It's not like you're planning some war. And, what happened to the girl after she passed away. You should know, you used to be an angel."Usui Takumi smiled sadly. "I know why. I know what happened to the girl, too. Her death was planned by heaven, so that she could be reborn there and then grow and train to one day come back to Earth to try to slay me. So that I'll have no choice but to go back to heaven and work under them again. But of course, there's no way that I will do that. And now, that I have answered you, I shall say my request. Kiss me." As he finished, his smile twisted just slightly.

Misaki was shocked. More than shocked, there were no words to describe what she was feeling. But before Misaki was able to gather her thoughts together, Usui Takumi leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. And suddenly, Misaki could remember so much more.
