A/N: Okay, so technically, 11 days might not be an early update but it's not late, right? *puppy eyes* And I think this is one of the rare times when I've updated twice in one month! I don't think I've done that in a long time. Ah…sorry :(

Thankyou for all your reviews, guys- i almost reached 300!

To one of my reviewers- lana- thank you for your review, and I am so glad you understand! Thankyou for keeping up with the story, even with my crappy, late updates ;P

For SweetLittleGirl16- I'll make Misaki and Usui run around in the rain for sure. The moment I think I've done your chapter justice, I'll post it up. Thankyou for our review and suggestion!

This chapter is for Guest/anonymous reviewer [since I don't know your name, sorry :(] who suggested I let Misaki take control for one day. She isn't that controlling in this but I hope you like it anyway!

Disclaimer - I don't own Maid-sama! Atleast not yet *grins evilly* MWUHAHAHAHA!

Shades of Red (3rd Person POV)

"I dare you to flirt with Usui until you make him blush!" Sakura giggled, plopping herself on the grass and smiling.

Misaki sweat-dropped.

She knew she shouldn't have chosen Dare! Well, for that matter, she shouldn't have agreed to play Truth and Dare at all, but it was pointless trying to change that now.

"I…uh…I choose Truth" she stuttered.

"No, that would be cheating, Misaki! Aw, come on, he's your boyfriend, ne? We want you to make him blush- he must look sooo cute!"

Misaki gave Shizuko a helpless look but she just shrugged "I warned you"

"Guys, this is ridiculous!" Misaki declared, standing up "I don't need to do this, it's just a game!"

"Are you saying you can't do it?"

Misaki froze. If she hadn't seen Sakura's lips move, she might not have believed that her friend had said something like this.

The pink-haired girl was looking at Misaki in a curious way, blinking innocently.

"W-What?" Misaki went.

"Are you saying you can't make him blush?" she repeated once again.

Misaki's eyes narrowed as she heard the mocking tone in her friend's voice. 'Okay, when you put it like that….'

No one- absolutely no one told her she couldn't do something. Well, except for Usui- but he was Usui, so why bother?

"Fine" Misaki said through gritted teeth "I'll do it" and walked away.

Shizuko glanced at Sakura, who was giggling happily as she bit into her rice ball "You knew she'd take it if you challenged her, didn't you?"

Sakura smiled "I thought I should cut Usui some slack. Misaki hardly does anything for him except for yell and shout."

The next morning, Usui come to Misaki's door with his usual creepy smile. Needless to say that the sight that met his eyes made him stumble back in shock.

"Hey!" came Misaki's cheerful voice from the entrance gate.

She was wearing her shirt with the first two buttons open, and the shirt untucked, a hint of her cleavage seen from above. Her tie was hanging loosely around her neck and most of all, she was smiling. She even had make-up on- just the hint of blush coloring her cheeks and mascara making her eyes smoky and seductive. She glanced at him and waved. Usui, dazed and confused, waved back slowly.

"Morning, Usui!" she chirped. Being this way wasn't that hard for her, now that she thought about it. She acted like this at Maid Latte all the time.

He was too stunned to say anything as he took in her appearance. His eyes were stuck on her chest. She fought the heat that escaped through her cheeks. 'No way am I going to blush…'

"Dressed for the occasion, did we?" he smirked, knowing it would make her blush "You sure look gorgeous"

Then the most amazing thing happened. Misaki made her way to him and winked.

"I guess yeah, I do" she said, smiling.

Usui blinked at her, a little unnerved.

"Are you okay, Prez?" he said after a little while.

"Of course I'm fine! Why would you ask me something like that?!" she laughed, nearing him. His eyes narrowed at her.

"Well, because normally the thought of wearing your uniform in such a way might've given you a mental breakdown. Wait- maybe it has- have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately?"

She slapped his arm lightly "Oh, come on! I just wanna have some fun."

"You what?"

Misaki shook herself mentally- her dare wasn't to shock him, it was to make him blush.

She stood on her toes, her face uncomfortably close to his. Usui's eyes widened.

He wondered what had gotten into her, but he didn't particularly care now. Being this close in public was making him feel a little dazed, especially with Misaki initiating it, out of the blue.

From up his position he could see each wisp of her eyelashes as she gazed at him, amber eyes piercing. He gulped.

"I wanna have some fun" she whispered slowly so that her breath fell on his lips and he shuddered inwardly. Oh God…doing this to her was easy, but now that she was doing it…Usui felt a little out of control. Okay, not a little- a lot.

As gently as he could, Usui held her shoulders firmly and pushed her down.

"I think we should get to school, Misa, if you don't want to be late. We can have fun later."

Misaki was smirking madly. She had almost made him blush! On her first attempt! She hadn't missed the longing look in his eyes as he had gazed into hers, his breath coming out in huffs.

She winked at him "Sure"

Usui again blinked down at her, as if to ask "are you on drugs?"

"Prez, you sure you don't want to stay at home today?"

"Don't be silly, Usui. I'd miss you!"

Usui turned his head away, cheeks coloring ever so slightly. To her misfortune, MIsaki didn't see.

It was quite a day at Seika High. The boys' eyes had literally popped out of their sockets when they'd caught Misaki's attire.

Several wolf-whistles ensued, and the girls gave her bewildered looks as they passed the hallway.

"OMG- did you look at her!"

"And she's supposed to be setting an example…"

"Man, is she hot…"

"No, she didn't-! "

"Oh, wow….."

"OUR MISAKI HAS TRANSFORMED INTO A SEX GODDESS!"

POW!

"Shut your trap!" Misaki kicked the three stooges in the face. They swayed until crashing into the door of a classroom. Misaki sighed as another boy called out from behind her.

"Hey! Never saw this side of yours, Prez! Saving the best for the last, huh?"

Misaki knocked him out with her elbow, not even bothering to look back.

"I'm glad you're back to the old Misaki" came a voice as Misaki jumped, looking sideways to find Usui smirking at her.

"W-What? I'm old Misaki- nothing's changed in me! What're you doing here?"

He shrugged, clearly distracted by the fact that a nearby guy was eyeing Misa's clothes "You should really close those buttons. "

Misaki rolled her eyes "What're you doing here, Usui?" she repeated.

"Came to see how you were doing."

This was one hundred percent true. Usui didn't know what had gone wrong with Misaki's wiring today, but he sure as hell didn't trust Seika High's boys to co-operate with that. And besides, he was worried she might have gotten drunk or something equally ridiculous- he wouldn't put it past her- trouble followed her everywhere.

"That's so nice of you! Have I ever told you how sweet I find that?" Misaki smiled as they walked. She was tugging onto her tie a little rowdily, so that Usui felt a little more breathless. Not only did it display a perfect show of her chest area, but also it made her hair sway back and forth across her shoulders, so it was like watching her stand in a breeze…smiling. God, she should smile more often.

"Okay, Misaki, you're smiling, What's wrong?"

She frowned "I can smile for no reason. And I just told you, I find it really sweet that you care so much about me. You are so cute!" she smiled again, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her body onto his right in the middle of the hallway.

Usui fell back a little, grabbing her waist and looking down at her "You find it sweet?"

"Of course!"

And surprisingly, this was one hundred percent true too. Misaki figured if she was going to flirt with him and tell him good things about himself, she might as well thank him for all that she found good in him (because the normal, demon Misaki would die rather than do that, that she was sure of)

Usui eyed her as they swayed a little on the spot, "Misaki will you please enlighten me as to what has gotten into you today?"

"Nothing-!" Misaki laughed nervously, feeling a little vulnerable under his gaze "I just want you to- I just...want you" she finished lamely, stating the first romantic, flirtatious thing that came to her.

Usui stared at her. He tilted his head to one side.

"You…want me?"

She nodded, biting her lip a little. Usui slowly started to lean in," So you've been doing all this because you want me? You could've just told me" he whispered, and MIsaki felt her heart beat wildly. 'No, Misaki, don't blush…no, no, no- make him blush!….'

She leaned in more, eyes dewy as she eyed him.

"I did tell you just now…didn't I?" she whispered huskily, her breath falling in his ear, sending chills down his spine. Misaki felt him grab her waist tightly and grinned at it in satisfaction. She looked back to see if he was blushing.

…He wasn't!

His eyes were closed and he was taking in ragged breaths- but he wasn't blushing.

Misaki cursed mentally. Damn it, this guy! It was almost as if he knew what she was upto! Why had she taken that stupid dare?!

He opened his eyes slowly and she saw them glazed over with wanton longing. It made her heart clench a little- he looked a little sinister right then.

"You should get to class." he said softly, untangling her from his arms.

"We could meet up later…" she went, keeping her voice steady successfully, even though her legs felt like jelly.

"Hm…yes, sure" he smiled at her a little. Misaki turned to walk away in disappointment when he called her from behind.

"Prez- come back here a moment."

She turned around again "What is it?"

He raised his hands and touched the top of her shirt. Misaki froze, until realizing that he was just buttoning her shirt up.

Once it was done, he let go of her and smiled in the most cheekiest manner ever "You can go now"

Misaki was striding down the corridor, looking out for Usui. He had escaped her at lunch, saying he wanted to find someone. No wonder it had been an excuse.

It was the end of the school day now, and Shizuko and Sakura had come to her thrice, asking if she had succeeded in the dare. They had even told her that if she lied and said she'd done it, they would just go to Usui and confirm it with him. And there was no way ever that Usui was going to co-operate with her on this one.

But nothing seemed to be working! She had tried flirting with him through chits during class, even telling him that she would feed him during lunch (when he had promptly disappeared), what not- but all seemed to do was make him even more terrified! He just stared a her like she was an alien or something whenever she laughed.

Just then, he spotted him walking down the corridor.

"Usui!"

He turned and his expression went blank when he saw her.

"Hey, you" he smiled "Looking for me now school's over?"

She jumped at him, not giving him a chance to say anything else. She didn't know why she hadn't thought of it before! Kissing had always left them breathless.

Usui looked down at her and sighed when he saw she had undone her buttons once again. He was getting quite scared now. And the fact that Misaki was standing so close to him, her body pressed so tightly on his, looking so tempting- it left him a little confused. He was a guy, after all. He swallowed a little.

And just like that, she clutched his collar and pulled him down to face her, crashing his lips on hers. She felt the jolt in her stomach. This action was all that Usui needed to fuel his desire.

He pushed her against the wall, and kissed her deeper, running his hand around her messed-up shirt. She ran her fingers through his blonde hair, oblivious to everything. Many students whistled and several gasped as they saw the President snogging the most popular guy senseless in front of everyone. Misaki had definitely changed.

He had her pinned and slipped his tongue, intensifying the kiss, making him feel a little mad…Misaki was definitely one hell of a kisser. He explored every crevice of her mouth feeling like he might explode in the heat- he was going madder than ever- what was Misaki thinking? It felt like just for the day their roles had changed- Usui had become the victim while Misaki became the winking, charming stalker. He held her closed, sighing against her lips and feeling euphoric, albeit a little embarrassed.

A short distance away from the hallway, Shizuko and Sakura watched, their arms folded.

"He's blushing, I think."

Sakura smiled "I knew Misaki could do it."

Back to Misaki and Usui, they finally broke away from the kiss, breathing heavily for oxygen. Usui had his head bowed down to the ground, cheeks flushed. He had so needed this. He chuckled a little as he thought about Misaki's antics. She was cute.

Misaki looked at him and felt ecstatic- she could kiss him right then and there all over again! Why? Because he was blushing! Finally!

She leapt up, startling him, and punched the air in triumph.

"I did it! I DID IT!"

"M-Misaki…"

"Usui- you're bluuuuuuuushing…! God, at LAST, I thought it would never happen!"

"What're you-"

"Sakura, Shizuko- here's your proof-! HA!"

Usui eyed her, blinking as her two best friends appeared, Sakura smiling sheepishly.

"Hi, Usui…" she waved.

"Hello." Usui looked to his side to ask Misaki if he could talk to her in private, but she had vanished already.

He sighed.

It had been a weird day.

"So- did Kanou hypnotize you? Is that why you were acting so…so…"

Misaki laughed "What? No! Like I would let that happen again! It was embarrassing enough the first time."

Usui raised a brow "And today wasn't?"

Misaki went red a little.

They were returning home now as dusk broke out. Misaki had had some work at the Student Council Room, so she'd been late, and Usui had waited for her, desperate for an explanation.

"What happened to you today, Misa?"

Misaki looked down "Um…well….Shizuko, Sakura and I were kind of playing Truth or Dare yesterday, and…well, they…umm, they dared me to make you blush."

Misaki honestly thought Usui would be angry. Instead, to her surprise, he started to laugh.

"Wha- What's so funny, you alien?!" she cried.

He just shook his head and continued laughing, clutching his stomach.

A tick mark appeared on Misaki's head as she scowled "I can't even figure out what's wrong with you! You're- you're such an- stop laughing!"

"Oh, I'm so happy my angry, annoying Misa is back!"

"What the hell?" she shouted at him "Annoying? You should look at yourself!"

But he just continued laughing. Finally, he stopped, chuckling under his breath as he eyed her.

"Ah, so they manipulated you by setting up a challenge for you so that you wouldn't decline it. Your friends are ingenious." he said, shaking his head "I cannot believe I didn't think of it sooner!"

"That's beside the point. All I care about is that I made you blush!" she said happily.

Usui smiled as he slipped an arm around her shoulders.

"Yes, sweetheart. You sure did."

And they walked on together peacefully, not a care in the world- even if only for a little while.

"Misaki?"

"Hm?"

"Will you please button up your shirt now?"

A/N: Okay, so I'm thinking of updating another chapter before August finishes. I want this whole month to go awesome for me and for everyone, so I will try my best, and I hope I get another chapter up before the 1st of Sep!
