11.15.13 and here is an update.

After 40 more minutes

Misaki's POV

Tora told me to shower, and we didn't really have time for conversation with my flustered face and his ever so smug grin -still due to his wonderful last comeback, so I simply did.

I'm feeling a lot better, thankfully. So is he, fully, I am hoping. I hear a few birds chirping as light pours through the slight opening of the curtains which are attached to his humungous window-wall, the day must be positive as well then.

I wore the once again overly-expensive clothes prepared on the counter, then face the full body-length mirror. I stare back at my reflection; I see a girl who looks exactly like me, but maybe a bit healthier, happier and with more vibrant glow… due to what though?

I dismiss the thought and head out the bathroom just to see Tora at his too-comfy-and-fluffy-for-it's-own-good white couch that in contrast, looks very sophisticated, sleek and firm.

With my now composed look I scrutinise his appearance and conclude that we look very much like a pair. I doubt the coincidence. Maybe he asked the staff to arrange this? Ugh, I sure hope that doesn't apply to the lingerie that was also set out. Pervert. How did he even get my size? Perfectly?!

He looks confident in his dark grey pants and silky white button down and I am wearing a dark grey pullover that reaches below my butt and white leggings, both our footwear are black.

He raises his head and leaves the papers he was looking at to glance at me. I'm not quite sure but I think that his voice hitched for at least half a second at the sight of before a smirk places itself on his face. Has my appearance really changed? I have been resting since I barely have anything to stress about here... well, other than the occasional paperwork I squeeze in for Yukimura and the rest.

He beacons me closer, picks up some papers and says, "Today we will go to Miyabigoaka, go fencing, eat Japan's best ice cream in the park, stalk Mis-" I listen intently but his voice lowers a few tones after the word park and I'm quite sure that he is blushing 3 shades or red.

*Ahem*

"Sorry, I picked up the wrong schedule." And he lowers the paper but I manage to catch the title as Daily leisure before he raises both his hands towards to me.

"I can't decide on what to do so you are to help me pick. Choose." He ushers me as he looks ever so flippant yet confident. Hmm.. I see no relevance on how he must base the activity to his palms so I absentmindedly choose his left. I know that even though I'm sure Tora and I are in neutral ground, I should keep my guard up.. but his faint voice saying "stalk Mis-" when he was reading the daily leisure earlier was troubling to an extent.

"Hello?"

"HELLO?"

"Earth to Misaki!" Tora states while waving his hand at front of my face.

"Uh, sorry. I zoned out. What were you saying?" I ask quickly trying to hide my embarrassment. Ugh, I hope I didn't look too funny because he seems to take it so laughable.

"I see you have finally fallen for my charm. Daydreaming, were you?" He jokes arrogantly.

"Try harder." I dare as I shake my head, deciding to dismiss my distressful thoughts. It was probably something related to Kevin or something of the like. I need to focus on the present. Surely, I should have chosen my words more carefully for Igarashi seems to be taking my words seriously, judging by his stance.

"So Igarashi, what are we going to do today?" I start, deciding on changing the topic and hopefully, hopefully he would forget the dare.

"Ugghh, did you really need to choose left?" He whines with a pout. I was about to retort about him making me choose blindly but he continues, "If you had chosen the right I would have had the pleasure of bringing you to Paris to buy you dresses, then to London to have pastry tasting for the school's cafeteria."

I gape at what he said and start to rant about his exaggerated plans, "WHAT?! No. God no. I am not leaving the country to buy some overly expensive dress or some extravagantly made cake!"

With that he cracks up and laughs losing his composure by smacking the sofa whilst lolling his ass out.

"HAHAHAH hahaha HAHA HA hahahahaha HAHAHAHAHA" but the practicality still hovers over me so I continue, not wavering because of his out of control mouth.

"I am NOT going to let you spend that much money on me, I mean the clothes are more than you should give me and taking me under your care and nursing me back to health, the time you gave me and UGGGGHHHH I am not even going to question why Miyabigoaka would inquire in London just for pastries. My debt to you is already to large for any more of those."

Tora's POV

Ayuzawa is as hilarious as ever. I couldn't stop laughing so loud as she chastises me but when she starts with the debt and breaths out, I manage to lower my laughs. I watch her and she slowly exhales, I know that she is about to say that she must leave and go back to her life sooner than later.

Pray to God she doesn't say now.

I don't want to hear those words so I hurry and hug her tight in one swift movement, carry her bridal style and run down to my car. "Don't you say it Ayuzawa, don't you dare. You do not owe me anything. Not even a single cheap candy sold on streets, got it? We both now that you need to go back to Seika and all that life things you have going on but, right now, you're with me, and I'd like to make you happy while we're at it. And keep it that way as long as possible."

"But Tora I-"

"Uh-uh-uh, no buts Misaki," I cut her off quickly while sliding on the drivers seat, firing up the engine and facing her. She clearly looks annoyed and is in the brink of being in her demon mode, though, she clearly is blushing. U-huh, too cute and entertaining.

Let's grab breakfast first, shall we? I wink at her before swivelling the wheel to exit the estate. She did say that I needed to try harder, didn't she? Joking or not, I took that seriously, hell I take everything about her seriously. With that I feel myself smirk.
