Title: Watching you

I'm sorry. Long author's notes after the story. Please always remember to review and favourite this if you liked it! (:

*DISCLAIMER: As always, Maid-Sama does not belong to me. Only the plot of this story does.*

"That bastard! Who does he think he is… Kissing me like I'm some…." Misaki's thoughts trailed off. She was majorly pissed off with Usui Takumi, forcing his lips on hers yet again. He'd disappeared after kissing her and was who-knows where, a place Misaki definitely did not care about. She assured herself. So what if he had something with her in her past lives? It was in the past, and will stay in the past. Once she got back her memories from him, there would be nothing between them. Nothing. Nothing at all. The huge problem right now was how she was going to get them while still completing her mission of killing him. The only source she had right now was her descendant, and even that was extremely vague. Sighing, she decided to just get home and then decide what she would do.

As Misaki opened her door, she had an ominous feeling that something was off. Her intuition; it was an angel thing. Silently, she walked down the hallway to her room, wincing when the floorboards squeaked. The person that was standing by her bed was someone completely unexpected.

He was tall, with fair skin, bleached blond hair and yellowish-golden eyes. She recognised him immediately and tensed up.

"Tora Igarashi. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in heaven or what?!" Tora Igarashi was an angel in the same level as Misaki that had not been given the chance to come to Earth. They had actually been good friends, until the day the results for the mission allocations were released. Misaki suspected that he possessed an immense jealousy and hatred towards her for being given the opportunity, but was never sure. For sure, Tora Igarashi had charisma - all angels did, but Usui Takumi was in a completely different league.

Noting Misaki's reaction, Tora laughed. "Breathe, Ayuzawa-san". He was always impeccably polite, even when he didn't actually mean it. "I'm here on a task, to inform you of something." He paused, gauging her reaction. Misaki said nothing, too shocked to speak.

"What I'm trying to say is, don't get sidetracked. Remember what you were tasked to do and do it and only it. Nothing more, nothing less. That is all I have to say, Ayuzawa-san. It took you awhile to get home, didn't it? I clearly remember school ending more than an hour ago. No matter. I will take my leave now. Remember my words, Ayuzawa-san."

When Tora Igarashi finished speaking, a flash of light appeared, and he was gone. Still in shock, Misaki sat down on her bed, noticing a note placed by her pillow. She took a deep breath and slowly processed what had just happened. Ok. So Tora Igarashi just appeared and basically said that the other angels in heaven were watching her and had sent him to stop her from continuing her search for her memories. He hadn't exactly said that, but it was clear that it was implied. Most angels weren't straightforward.

"Now what do I do?" Misaki groaned in frustration. It was obvious that the angels were keeping something from her by stopping her from knowing more, but she couldn't just ignore them. The angels that were watching her were called The Watchers, and she had heard rumours about them interfering in the missions of other angels but had never actually met an angel who had his or her mission interfered with. As much as Misaki hated to admit it, this was unsettling her. Angels were supposed to be confident and prepared for anything, but after Misaki's arrival on earth, she had demonstrated just about everything but confidence.

Suddenly remembering the note on her bed, she picked it up and read it.

Remember my words.

On the note was the last words that Tora Igarashi had said to her just before leaving. Carefully, Misaki folded the note and stuffed it under some random books on her table, hoping to forget its existence. It only reminded her of The Watchers. A thought suddenly came to her. Was Igarashi a member of The Watchers now? Usually, when angels were not given a mission on earth, they were allocated to other tasks. As much as Misaki hated to admit it, Igarashi had been her friend and she was concerned about him.

*Knock knock*. Misaki jumped, still slightly shocked after what had happened. Someone was at her door. She was unsure of whether or not to open it, considering she had told no one her address and yet there was someone at her door. Cautiously, Misaki looked through the peephole and sighed in irritation at the sight of a certain perverted outerspace alien outside her door. She proceeded to open it.

"Where did you go just now? What are you doing here? How did you get my address? You are not welcome here!" Before Usui could speak, Misaki had muttered a stream of questions.

Taking a moment to answer, Usui chuckled.

"Firstly, your floormat says 'welcome', so clearly I'm welcome here. I was searching for the last location of Suzuna Ayuzawa, we were looking for her to get back your memories, or did you forget already-"

"Get to the point!"

"Chill, Misa-chan. As I was saying, I'm here to tell you that I found her address and to ask you if you want to go to the address, it's not that far from here. Anyway, about your address, I have my ways."

"Fine, okay. Come in Usui… Takumi." Misaki remembered him telling her to call him by his name. She hesitated in telling him about Igarashi's visit, but there was no hiding it anyway. Usui would realise something was wrong immediately.

As Usui took a step in, he stopped. "There was another angel here." It was a statement, not a question.

"Just before you came actually, an angel was here to kindly remind me of the task at hand and not get sucked into researching other things." Misaki hadn't meant to sound sarcastic, but her words were laced with sarcasm as she spoke.

"The task at hand? Ahh… You must mean killing me, don't you? Before you think of actually killing me, do you really think it is a wise decision to just abandon your past by listening to The Watchers? You should know, there are corrupt angels out there, too."

Misaki was surprised. She hadn't mentioned The Watchers at all, yet Usui somehow knew about them. "No… I want to know about my past. It's important to me. So, are we going to Suzuna Ayuzawa's house now or what?"

"It's just a few streets from here, surprisingly. Shall we go?" Usui put his hand out in a gentlemanly gesture.

Ignoring his gesture, Misaki answered. "Must be a coincidence, huh."

Shaking his head, Usui replied.

"Nothing, Misa-chan. Nothing is ever a coincidence."

-End-

I've inserted an apology on my profile, so I would really appreciate it if you guys could go read it. It's extremely long and I didn't want to add it here to flood this space.

So, what do you guys think of this chapter? There is some content here that I'm aware that is linked to religious terms so I wanted to want it clear that everything I've written is completely and utterly fictional so please don't get offended in any way, shape or form if I've messed up some things. I'm only borrowing the words in my story.

I'm thinking of making a side story about Igarashi and The Watchers that links to this so look forward to that in the near future!

**A thought for you: Is Igarashi good or bad? What are his intentions? Who are The Watchers?

Please review and favourite this! Have an amazing and beautiful day ^_^
