REVIEW

"umm... Misaki can I take you to my house?" Usui suddenly asked when Misaki was about to step outside the roof gate.
Now it was Misaki turn to be suprised.
-x-x-x-

NORMAL POV

"whaaaa...?!" was all that Misaki could exclaim.

Usui smiled at her flushed expression. And said "let it go... I guess you are getting late."
Suddenly realization sunk and she nodded before she left.

"chht" escaped Usui lips. What was he thinking to ask her take his home? He knew Misaki would never say yes. But he also knew that now that he had mentioned it Misaki would be dead curious. So he guessed that their is only one way to keep both their mind at piece... A devil grin spread on his face.

On other hand Misaki reached her class in time. As she was not able to concentrate on first half, she was determined to make use of second half. But alas Usui sudden visit and his proposal left her only more distracted then ever.

Why would he want her to visit his home? What was the catch? Where did he lived anyway? Ofcourse some rich mansion or sort. But what was there that he wanted to show her? And more important above all was he sad that she refused?

Oh god questions were everywhere but no answer. Even the math problem that she was trying to do hadn't yet got the answer. So frustrating!

Next morning was a Sunday and Misaki was planning to relax a bit before her date with Usui. So she settled in the couch and switch on the tv.

There was a horror movie playing on the tv and Misaki didn't know why she couldn't change the channel. Instead she watched it with even more interest. Her eyes were horrified.

"nee-chan" Misaki jumped out of her skin. She slowly turned her head, afraid of what she might see. Her eyes fall on a moving object and she was about to scream but image clicked in her brain and she realized it was only suzuna.

She let out a sigh and asked frustratingly "what do you want suzuna?"

Suzuna shook her head "nee chan if you are scared of ghosts you shouldn't watch horror movies."

"w-who I-s s-scar-ed!" Misaki stammered, turning red at being caught.

With her as expressionless face as ever she continued "by the way Usui-San is here to pick you up"

"what!" Misaki exclaimed with a "you should have told me earlier" as she rushed to her room for a quick change of clothes.

Within 5 minutes she was down with a presentable look.

Seeing her Usui smiled, next to him suzuna gave an indifferent look and then left.
"ready" Usui asked as he again raised his hand for Misaki's, completely ready to be rejected.

But Misaki surprised him and took his hand in hers. A pleased smile spread across his face and blush from earlier return.

They decided to stroll around zoo. They had fun with animals, comparing each other with them, eating, laughing at their stupid behavior, challenging lion in roaring- well that was Misaki-, feeding ducks and so on.

Now the sun was setting and Usui Misaki were sitting on a bench with a burger and a coke.
"it was fun" Misaki said thoughtfully "Misaki if you like spending time with me so much you just need to ask me. I will be more than glad to spend my all time with you my dear Misaki." Usui said nonchalantly.
"keep on flattering yourself!" Misaki snorted, standing and stomping off.

Usui too got up, laughing following Misaki like a faithful stalker that he was. All the way Misaki turned redder and redder not due to blushing but anger as Usui teasing won't stop.

"Misaki I am so glad to hear that you like me so much. Want to hold hands with me? Wanna go on another date? Or still better want to spend night together? Misaki please don't say no your darlings heart would be broken" he would repeatedly say.

To which misaki's ocassional reply would be "shut up you pervert. What the hell are you saying" or something on the lines.

They finally got out of subway and reached to the doorstep of her house. She huffed a frustrated sigh and inserted the key in the lock.

With a quick "goodbye" she turned the key and entered the house. Usui too with a devilish grin got out of the house but stood beside the broken steel gate.

As soon as Misaki closed the door behind her she froze in her steps. It was pitch black inside. She let in a deep breath to calm herself thinking "maybe mum took this save electricity bill plan a bit too far."

She felt around to find the switch and then flip it on. She waited for the darkness around her to fled to let the brightness engulf her.

Momemnts passed but the light didn't flicker. Her hand remained on the switch. She gulped hard.

"ok maybe the bulb gave away" she said to convince herself.

She went to kitchen and flip the switch but darkness didn't left. She flipped it back off then back again and then again and again. Her attempts quickening. Why the damn lights won't turn on.

Then she left the switch with a new idea in her mind. She rummaged through all kitchen drawers. When not finding what she wanted she started emptying the drawers.

Still not being able to find candles or torch she left the kitchen. She planned to change and sleep the night off. This way the ghosts won't bother her if they exist. Yeah that's right she won't think about the horror movie and the girl in it who had a dreadful death. Yeah it should be alright.

Shivering she slowly went across the lobby. Her heart stopping with every creaking sound the floor board made. As she was about to step on the stairs she felt something touching her feet.

A bloodcurling scream left her throat and she flopped on the floor. Curling up into a ball.

Outside Usui leaned against the wall. Waiting for Misaki to come running outside. He was sure the plan would work. Most probably by now suzuna would have failed all the lights in the house and would have replace candles and torches.

Now only thing that was left was for horror movie that Misaki had watched today to take it's effect on her. That was also suzuna doing. She knew once Misaki set her eyes on some horror flick she won't be able to stop herself from watching it eventhough later on she would be scared like a chicken.

A devil grin spread across his face which froze there when he heard the scream. He rushed in and banged the door against the wall. Through the light from outside he found Misaki curled up next to stairs shivering. He saw a small black mouse running in the lobby and then out the door.

Usui walked to Misaki and kneeled next to her. He laid a hand on her shoulder and she looked up.

Her eyes were full of tears and her breath was ragged. She looked so vulnerable. Usui wrapped his arms around her engulfing her.

Misaki eyes were wide. She feebly tried to break free but Usui only hugged her tighter. Misaki too let her hands fall, his warmth making her senseless.

Her heartbeat slowly slowly relaxed. His scent soothing her ragged breathing. Slowly Usui loosen his arms around her to look her face.

Misaki blood rushed to her cheeks. She looked sideways. Usui stood up giving Misaki a hand to help. She accepted it and both sat on stairs.

"great now you know another of my weakness." she said a little disappointed.

Usui chuckled "so what you doing here all alone? Where's your mum and sister?" he asked, changing the topic.

"they are out" Misaki stated simply still a little embarassed.

"oh so why don't you come to my house?" Usui suggested.

"waaaa...why would I do that?!" Misaki asked confused.

"because it's bright there. Unlike here there is no darkness or ghosts or spirits" Usui replied with a dunce face.

"waaaa...there I-s n-no suc-ch th-ing l-ike gh-ho-st..." misaki expression turned into one of agitated and fear.

"heeeeeeee..." Usui smiled like an idiot.

Misaki punched his head and shouted "stop laughing like a fool."

Usui rubbed his head in mock pain "that's mean misa"

"shut up"

Usui looked at her face. There was still a slight fear.
"so you want to spent the night with ghosts or with me." he ended with a smug smile

"I would rather spend the night with ghosts rather than a pervert like you!" she exclaimed, jumping to her feet and pointing a finger at him

"oh re-a-ll-ll-yy" he said creepily. A shiver ran down her spine and she froze.

Usui watching her expression stood from his place and threw her across his shoulder. There was noway she would agree to it. But he can't let her spent her whole night shivering now can he?

So he took her outside, closing the door as he left. Misaki till now shocked, was now able to appose. She Kiced her legs and punched her fist demanding him to let her go.

He just kept on smiling and went to the waiting lemo, opened the door and thrusted her in. Misaki tried to crawl out but Usui too got in forcing her to stay put. But she kept on screaming "you fool, pervert. Let me go" and gave him various punches.

Usui kept on smiling and simply said "nope" with a pop. Misaki didn't give up neither did Usui.

Usui did regret making a fool of her but it couldn't be help. It could be said as a punishment for her being so stubborn. But he was determined to make up for his mistake.

He couldn't bear the sight of Misaki so vulnerable and he was determined to never let Misaki face that fear again.
