Akura: Hey! I'm alive! *starts happy-dancing with Sakura*
Akuma: You really think they care? You've left them hanging for MONTHS!
Akura: I know! I know! And I'm really, really sorry for that, but I have a valid reason… Maths. Need I say more? It's evil… *sigh*
Anyway, I would love to thank the wonderful Vividpixiefor giving me this marvellous word, all that time ago. Sorry this took so long! And thank you! ^^
I should probably get onto it, ne?
Oh! On a side note, this is also semi-dedicated to xXxDreamwindxXx (Although, I guess, lost of mine are.. *shrugs* what can you do when you have a kick-ass muse? But this one in particular) for inviting me to her special event, and to… let's say… the other person who, uh, inspired (read: forced, bribed, tricked) me to write 'BONDS'. I love you really! Uh… let's go with Ardor for now, shall we?
Thank you dears, you were wonderful 3
WARNINGS: People-inserting, I'm sure there's a technical term for this, but whatever, and anyway, it's really light, you'll hardly notice =D Girl x Guy pairing, Guy x Guy pairing (extremely light). Dress Descriptions. (I'll put a link at the bottom, and the clicky-link in my profile =D)
Some SPOILERS, nothing big, I think, I haven't even had time to finish reading/watching it, but it's just little events that aren't that important to the plot, and is probably gonna be mixed up with some made up stuff (Perhaps some stuff from previous chapters?), just in-case you haven't read it yet, so that it doesn't really wreck it. ^^
Sakura: Onwards minions! *evil, childish laughter*
Akura/Akuma: O.O … I like it! *joins in*
DISCLAIMER: The characters from Maid-Sama I'm using? Yeah, not mine. The people I'm inserting? Well… they're kinda mine. And the randomly borrowed characters from say… Card Captor Sakura? (And perhaps others?) That's just cause I'm too lazy to think up names, but I don't own them either. What I DO own is all se-ven-ty episodes AND both movies! *insert childish happy dance* *obviously still hasn't gotten over it*
Oh! And I don't own 'Naruto' either! (Sasuke does (; ) Because I'm weak to my Muse-chanface… *pouts* (…OPPE! xD)
On the topic of 'Oppe~!', I don't own any Korean people, nor any Korean company, but if anyone wanted to send SHINee my way… I wouldn't say no =D

Awww, you flatter me! /
Ahh, I see. I tried that in this chapter, was it too specific perhaps? Or is it alright?
Thank you for the tip, AND the review! (I know it's really not fair, but I kind of love Anonymous Reviews the most, since I used to be one xD)
Perhaps I'll see you again this chapter?
Until then,

Thank you for the word suggestion, it was a bit late, but it's actually pretty funny because K is for Kite anyway!
Thank you for reviewing ^^

- loveyou:
Awww, thank you! You're much to kind .
The fact that Usui does indeed, have green eyes, has been previously informed to me many a time.
I'm not sure if you've been reading the author's notes, or if you simply haven't come up to it yet, but I HAVE explained my reasoning behind Usui's eye colour, and that it is one of the things that I am going to go back and fix during my 'Fic Cleanup' that I'm going to be doing once I finish LoL.
Hope that makes sense to you ^-^"
Thank you for the review =]

"MISAKI-CHANNNN!" Misaki flinched as she was attacked… ahem, I mean, hugged, by a hyper active Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, what is it?"
Sakura jumped up and down gleefully, "He said yes, he said yes, he said yes!"
"What? Who? Said yes to what?" Misaki asked, trying to make sense of the happy girl.
"Kuuga-san! He agreed to do Deb with me!" she squealed, grabbing Misaki in yet another crushing hug.
"Ohhhh," So THAT was it, Misaki smiled warmly down at Sakura and returned the hug, "Congratulations, I'm sure you'll do great,"
"Ne, Misaki-chan?"
"Yes?"
"Will you come see my Deb? Pretty please with a cherry on top?"
Misaki thought about it for a moment, then sighed and shook her head, "As much as I would absolutely love to go, I can't. The ticket's cost way too much for me to even THINK about asking my mum about…"
"Oh… I see…" Sakura deflated a little, but quickly covered it up with a smile, "Well! You'll just have to be there in spirit then, ne?"
Misaki chuckled, glad that her friend understood her position, "Hai, hai,"
~V Is For Vanity~
"Knock, knock,"
"Come in," Misaki quickly sorted the papers she was going through into a neat pile before looking up at her… guests.
Raising an eyebrow, Misaki looked over the group of students standing before her.
"…can I help you?"
Shizuko came to stand at the front of the, surprisingly gender-balanced group, and cleared her throat.
"Ayuzawa-san, you've been nothing but great to the school the entire time you've been it's president. Thanks to you, the amount of females in the student population has risen dramatically, and also thanks to you, there is going to be a Deb this year. We…" At this, she gestured to the group surrounding her, "Have been discussing it, and have decided that we'd like you to be the person we 'present' ourselves to. Would you do us the honour?"
Misaki's eyes widened in disbelief, "You… you guys want me to do that? All of you?"
A resounding murmur of 'yes' and multiple heads nodding were her only response.
"And since you're a guest, it doesn't cost you anything either!" Sakura piped up, bouncing up and down.
"I-I… uh… well uh… thank you. I'd love to come and celebrate your special night with you guys!"
A cheer went up, and even a couple of whistles, and was that a 'We love you Kaichou!'?
The group started dancing out the door, but just as they were leaving, Sakura chucked one last message over her shoulder, "And don't forget to bring a date, Misaki-chan! Bye!"
Misaki froze on the spot.
A… date?
Her eyes widened in understanding.
'Oh shit,'
"Yo, Pres,"
Misaki closed her eyes, and gingerly turned around towards the window, where the voice was coming from, and opened her eyes.
'Oh shit oh shit oh SHIT!'
"Usui, what are you doing here?"
The person in question shrugged, straightening from his slouched position against the window frame.
"Nothing much, just eating some pocky, what about you, Pres?"
"Paperwork," Was her clipped reply, and she turned back to the neat pile in front of her.
'Now… where was I…'
The silence, filled only by the occasional rustling of paper, and the crunching of pocky, suddenly came to a screeching halt.
"So… who are you planning on taking as your date?"
Misaki froze.
'Damn, I seem to be doing this a lot today…'
"…I'm not quite sure yet. I was thinking of maybe taking Yukimura, but I think he's already got a job to do during the ball…"
Misaki frowned, who could she take? She didn't really know that many guys, and the ones she did know well enough to ask to be her date were either helping behind the scenes, or actually IN the Deb itself.
Well, that, or they were Usui.
But we both knew that wasn't even a possibility to begin with, right?
I mean, who would want to go with a perverted-outer-space-alien anyway?
'A perverted, outer-space, kind, sweet, tasteful, intelligent, good-looking alien that is,'
'Damn it all! Now I'm even arguing against myself!'
"Hey…" the single word snapped her out of her reprieve.
"Nani?" She turned her attention back to the blonde pervert leaning against the wall next to the window.
"If… you don't have anyone else to go with… I wouldn't mind going with you…"
Misaki's eyes widened in disbelief, was… was Usui really saying that?
"…eh?"
'Now wasn't that an intelligent response?'
Misaki pushed that thought down, and along with it, tried to beat down her blush, which she just knew just got ten times worse.
"I-I mean… are you sure? You're not busy or anything?"
Usui just shook his head 'no', and watched her cautiously.
"Uh-um… well then… ahem," Misaki cleared her throat, she couldn't do this! She felt like her heart was pounding out of her chest, when did she get so nervous? WHY was she so nervous? It was just Usui! She could do this.
Standing up, she straightened her back and looked Usui straight in the eye.
"Usui, if you are free on Friday, come with me to the Deb,"
Usui chuckled, 'She's so cute…'
"Hai, hai Pres," He walked up to her, "You going to leave from work or home?"
Misaki thought for a second, "Work, I think… Mum's working Friday, and Suzuna has a sleepover… Manager would want to help anyway…" At this she sweat dropped, oh, Satsuki-san was gonna have a field day when she told her at work that night…
"Well then…" Usui leaned down so that they were face to face, his hand coming up to gently caress the side of her face, "It's a date. I'll pick you up at six." And with a soft smile, he was gone.
Misaki froze.
'Damn, I really need to stop doing that…'
Shaking her head clear of any thoughts related to dates, dresses, or perverted-outer-space-aliens, Misaki sat back at her desk, and started yet again on her rather large pile of paperwork.
~V Is For Vanity~
"Misaki! Usui's here already! Get out of the bathroom already!" Aoi shouted.
"No! It's embarrassing" Misaki shouted back.
"Let me…" Usui came to stand next to Aoi, hands in his pockets, a relaxed air around him.
"Ne, Kaichou, if you don't hurry up, we're gonna be late, and since you're the guest of honour, everyone else will get worried, and the whole event might have to get delayed, and you don't want that to happen, neh?"
"…"
A pause. And then…
"Click!"
The door unlocked, and slowly opened to reveal…
'Wow…'
A lacy black head piece, just covering her left eye, adorned with pale blue flowers that almost seemed to glow was attached to her hair, ice-blue eye-makeup, expertly applied by Honoka earlier, brought out her chest nut eyes, and the dress…
A lace halter, attached to the corset-like black bodice, which had embellishments on the middle of the chest, lace attached to the bodice created off-the-shoulder sleeves. Flaring out slightly after the initial bodice, the dress came undone in three layers of diagonal ruffles, the first two layers black, whilst the last being white. The dress reached only mid-thigh on the right side, but reached down to her ankle on the right. Two, plain black heels adorned her feet, with satiny, black, ballet like laces that reached just below the ankle.
She looked stunning.
Misaki took a sharp intake of breath when she caught sight of Usui. He looked…
'Wow…'
Usui was dressed in a white dress shirt, with a formal black suit. He had his hair combed back, revealing his bright green eyes, further highlighted by the ice-blue tie around his neck.
He looked good.
Blushing slightly, both looked down.
"H-how did you know to wear that colour?"
"Ah… Manager-san told me to…"
An awkward silence fell, before Aoi broke the silence.
'What complete, utter idiots…' He thought to himself.
"Time's wasting! You better not get there late after all the effort I put into your dress! Hurry and leave already, shoo!"
Misaki laughed, Aoi really was nice… sometimes.
"Hai, hai. Arigatou, Aoi-kun, the dress is beautiful… we'll be going now,"
And with a smile and wave, they were gone.
~V Is For Vanity~
"Usui, you idiot! Why'd you get a Cab? We could of just taken the train!"
Usui stared blankly at Misaki, "You mean you don't mind going on public transport dressed as you are right now?"
Misaki blushed furiously, "I… no..wha-what do you mean by that!" Was he saying she looked to revealing? Oh. My. Gosh. She needed to change!
Usui chuckled, "Saa, nothing Misa-chan. I just didn't want to gift so many undeserving eyes with how cute you look," he teased, 'Like I'd let them gaze upon MY Misaki!'
Misaki blushed, "F-fine… let's just go already,"
Usui smiled, "Indeed. Let's."
~V Is For Vanity~
"And now, to present the Debutantes, we call upon Ayuzawa Misaki, School Council President of Seika High!"
The crowd applauded, as Misaki made her way to stand in the middle of the dance floor.
"The Debutantes will be presented to Miss. Ayuzawa, as is the tradition. Now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the Debutantes of Seika High!"
The crowd roared in appreciation, as the first couple took to the stage.
"Introducing Yumeko and Sasori! Both are seventeen, and love playing video games, hanging out with friends, and grammar! The two are celebrating their second year together today, after meeting at an Anime convention, Yumeko dressed as a guy, and Sasori as a girl. Who knew wearing a dress could get you someone so pretty? Yumeko and Sasori everyone!"
Misaki smiled at the couple when they stood before her, Yumeko grinned, and Sasori winked.
Those two were so cute together.
They started to walk off stage to their positions as the announcer… announced the next couple.
"And now we have Hikari and Ardor! Both are seventeen also. Hikari is studying art, and has already gained much acclaim, even though she hasn't even finished high-school yet! Ardor has recently joined Seika high, and is already wow-ing audiences with his charisma and charm in public speaking. Ardor would like me to mention something on a side-note. I'm not quite sure what it means, but Steve, Ardor says: 'Ek is lief vir jou, liefste!'. Hikari and Ardor everyone!"
Misaki grinned when the two came to stand in front of her, Hikari looked stunning in her white dress, and Ardor looked amazing in his suit.
"Good luck!" she mouthed.
Both grinned, and gave her a thumbs up before following the path Yumeko and Sasori took not moments before.
And so the list went on, Seika was only doing one major night, and so there were a lot of names to go through.
Sakura and Syaoran… Haruhi and Kyoya… Kiyo and Kuroboshi… Minami and Otome… Butterfly and Chinatsu… Sakura and Kuuga!
Misaki held in a slight gasp as Sakura descended the stairs to the stage, she looked…
"Gorgeous…"
Her naturally curly hair was left down, hiding the spaghetti that were attached to the elegant bodice, before flaring out in layers upon layers of mesh skirt.
She looked great.
Sakura flashed Misaki a happy smile, which she returned, as Sakura did her spin, Misaki shot Kuuga a meaningful look, but he didn't notice. He was too busy smiling softly as he gazed upon his date.
How cute. (^-^ Nawww….)
"And that, ladies and gentlemen, are this year's Debutantes of Seika High! Thank you to Ayuzawa Misaki for presenting them, now…"
Misaki tuned out the MC as she went back to her table, and sat down with a soft, relieved sigh.
Her part was over, now she could sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the evening.
~V Is For Vanity~
Misaki smiled to herself as she put down her spoon.
That was the best sticky-date pudding she'd ever had.
Ever.
"Maa, what's so funny, Kaichou?"
The night so far had been great, and Usui had even been bearable! It wasn't even that hard to talk to him, and he, surprisingly, knew a lot about the things Misaki was interested in as well.
Misaki quietly thanked Touya, who was working part-time (of course) at the hall for the night, who quickly cleared her spot with a nod of acknowledgement before returning to his spot near Yukito.
Cute.
"Nothing… I was just wondering what a dessert-type Pokémon would look like…"
Usui chuckled, before suddenly stopping, and cocking his head to the side.
"Say, Misa-chan?"
"Mmm?"
"Do you know this song?"
Misaki paused in her actions for a moment before nodding slightly, "Isn't it Korean?"
"I can translate if you want?"
Misaki stared at him for a second before chuckling, "Is there anything you can't do?"
"Mou, Misa-chan, you flatter me," Usui stood up, and presented his hand before Misaki with a dramatic bow, "May I have this dance?"
Misaki blushed furiously, "I… wha…!"
"Misaki-chan! Go!" Misaki felt gloved hands grab her shoulders and pull her into a standing position, forcefully putting her hand into Usui's.
"S-Sakura?" Misaki gasped, looking behind her.
Sakura simply grinned and waved, "Have fun~!" before running back to Kuuga, who was holding onto her bouquet.
Misaki heard a chuckle, and turning, she faced Usui.
"You!"
"Heh… shall we?"
Misaki paused mid-shout. "I… uh… o-okay?"
Usui just smiled and pulled her onto the dance floor.
Gently placing his hand on her waist, whilst situating her hand on his shoulder, he grabbed her hand as another song started to play.
~Gakkeum honjaseo gileun geotda
Jamshi meomchweo jooil hanbeon dooleoboda~
[Sometimes, you walk alone
You stop for a moment and take a look around]
Usui stepped forward, Misaki stepped back, another step forward, another step back, now to the side, again, and before she even realised, they were dancing.
~Honjaraneun giboonae himi deul ddaen
Geuddaen nareul ddarahae, nareul nareul ddarahae, eh~
[When you're tired of the feeling of being alone
Follow me then, follow me, me, eh]
Usui leaned forward and started whispering in her ear the meanings of the words. Misaki blushed. Although it was only soft, Usui had a very nice singing voice…
~Ddo honjaseo jamae deulda
Aesseo kkubeokkkubeok jichin nooneul gamda~
[You fall asleep alone again
You try hard to doze off
You close your worn out eyes]
Misaki rested her head against Usui's shoulder for a moment. It was just so… peaceful in his arms.
~Jakku saenggakae jam motdeul ddaen
Geuddaen nareul ddarahae, nareul nareul ddarahae eh~
[When you still can't sleep
Because of the many, many thoughts
Follow me then, follow me, me, eh]
Misaki chuckled slightly when she heard what the words meant, and she felt Usui's smile on her ear.
She knew exactly what that felt like.
~A-yo, himi deul ddaen
Doong tah dak rhythmae , oh~
[A-yo, when it's tough
Doong tah dak, lean on the rhythm, oh]
Now they were swaying in time with the music, it was quite preppy, and Misaki laughed softly when Usui leaned his forehead against hers.
~Neol hyanghan noraero, oh
Modu a-yo, modu a-yo~
[With our song for you
Everyone a-yo, everyone a-yo]
Usui suddenly pulled back and spun her, Misaki lost her balance for a second, but then Usui was there, gently guiding her the right way.
~A-yo, jam motdeul ddaen
Took teoleo rhythmae matgigo, oh~
[A-yo, when you can't sleep
Tap brush it off, leave it to the rhythm, oh]
Usui chuckled and tapped her forehead.
Misaki blushed.
~Pyeolcheojil naeilae gidaero, oh
Modu a-yo, modu a-yo~
[With the anticipation of the unfolding tomorrow
Everyone a-yo, everyone a-yo]
'Tomorrow?' Misaki paused for a moment, before shaking the thought off and continuing to dance with Usui.
'Doesn't matter. I'll think about it later,'
~I. dujari
Siheom jeomsudo dujari
Jeongyo seokchaneun sejari
Dodaeche, why, why~
[Your IQ is two digits, test scores are also two digits
School rank is three digits, why in the world, why, why]
Usui chuckled after translating the lyrics, and added, "But we all know that you're number one, K-a-i-c-h-o-u~!"
Misaki blushed.
~Haru onjongil, dolaoneun geon jansori
Oneuldo chaeksang apaeseon, meolhangeoni why, why~
[Throughout the entire day, only nagging returns
What are you doing at your desk today, why why]
Misaki smirked when she heard the meaning and told Usui, "This reminds me of the Cultural Festival! I had complaints and people shouting at me all day, it was horrible!"
"Maaa, lucky I was there to save the day, ne?"
Misaki just shook her head and chuckled good naturedly.
~Soomgappeun haruae
Shwil got hana eopseodo, oh, oh~
[During this breathless day
Even if there's no place to rest, oh, oh]
"Ah. Well this reminds me of when you attempted to win the eating contest, it was so cute~!"
Misaki muttered under her breath while Usui just chuckled.
~Jeoldae , ah, ah
No way, no way~
[Never become weak, ah, ah
No way, no way]
"And this reminds me of when we had the athletics carnival, and you ended up hurting yourself so bad trying to beat me,"
"Oh yeah, why did you braid my hair anyway?"
~ mam
Alajuli eopseodo, oh, oh~
[Even if there's no one
To understand your grieving heart, oh, oh]
Usui's face changed for a second, a slight frown on his face, before it was swiftly replaced by a blank look so quickly that Misaki wasn't even sure if she saw it.
"Just… thought it would be more comfortable, M-i-s-a-c-h-a-n~!"
Misaki blushed.
~Jeoldae pogihajima, ah, ah
Your way Your way~
[Never give up, ah, ah
Your way, your way]
Well… whatever it was, he seemed alright now.
And if he needed help, he would tell her… right?
~A-yo, himi deul ddaen
Doong tah dak rhythmae , oh~
[A-yo, when it's tough
Doong tah dak, lean on the rhythm, oh]
"Hey… Usui?"
"Yeah?"
~Neol hyanghan noraero, oh
Modu a-yo, modu a-yo~
[With our song for you
Everyone a-yo, everyone a-yo]
"If… anything's wrong, you know you can talk to me… right?"
Did… Usui just look shocked?
~A-yo, jam motdeul ddaen
Took teoleo rhythmae matgigo, oh~
[A-yo, when you can't sleep
Tap brush it off, leave it to the rhythm, oh]
"Maa, it's nothing, Pres… thank you,"
~Pyeolcheojil naeilae gidaero, oh
Modu a-yo, modu a-yo~
[With the anticipation of the unfolding tomorrow
Everyone a-yo, everyone a-yo]
Usui couldn't believe his luck.
Did this mean that… that Misaki cared for him? Even just a little bit, even just as friends…
Usui smiled. Today was a great day.
~Mideotdeon sarama
Nae modeungeol bachyeo jalhaetgeonman
.deut ni
Sarangeun bye, goodbye~
[Person I trusted, I gave you my best
But your love that changes
Like seasons do, bye, goodbye]
Misaki's eyes clouded as she heard what those lines meant, it reminded her of her… father.
~Shigani eopdan mal
chamajoon geojitmal~
[Saying that you don't have time
The lies I endured every day]
Usui sighed, also lost in his own world. That reminded him of… everything.
~ dolawajulgeora
Mideotji geuddaen, geuddaen~
[Pretending like I didn't know
I believed that you return back then, back then]
Misaki snapped back to reality in time to see Usui's distant look.
Shaking off her darker thoughts, Misaki set her mind.
~Gakkeumshik noonmuli
garyeodo, oh, oh~
[Even if tears come sometimes
Cover both your eyes, oh, oh]
'What's happened to me has happened, and long ago at that too… I think I might need to be there for him more, as a… thank you. For always being there for me,'
~Jeoldae , ah, ah
No way, no way~
[Never become weak, ah, ah
No way, no way]
With a visible nod to herself, Misaki looked up at Usui only to find him still in the middle of his own thoughts.
'First things first…'
"Usui…"
~ bam
Kkeutchi eopseoboyeodo, oh, oh~
[Even if it seems there's no end
To sleepless night, oh, oh]
Usui snapped back to attention at the sound of his name,
"Hai?"
"I don't know what the words mean…"
~Jeoldae pogihajima, ah, ah
Your way, your way~
[Never give up, ah, ah
Your way, your way]
Usui smiled, whether Misaki knew it or not, the sound of her voice simply made all the bad thoughts fly away.
"Gomen, let's continue, ne?"
~A-yo, himi deul ddaen
Doong tah dak rhythmae , oh~
[A-yo, when it's tough
Doong tah dak, lean on the rhythm, oh]
By now, Misaki was getting used to the lyrics, and started humming along with Usui's singing.
~Neol hyanghan noraero, oh
Modu a-yo, modu a-yo~
[With our song for you
Everyone a-yo, everyone a-yo]
Usui just smiled and sang louder.
~A-yo, jam motdeul ddaen
Took teoleo rhythmae matgigo, oh~
[A-yo, when you can't sleep
Tap brush it off, leave it to the rhythm, oh]
Glancing at the clock, Misaki was surprised to see that it was already almost eleven.
~Pyeolcheojil naeilae gidaero, oh
Modu a-yo, modu a-yo~
[With the anticipation of the unfolding tomorrow
Everyone a-yo, everyone a-yo]
And even more surprised to find that she couldn't bring herself to care.
~Woo
Himi deul ddaen
Neol bankyeojool nugungal~
[Woo
When it's tough, think
About who will greet you ]
"Yo!" Misaki joked, and Usui laughed.
Actually laughed.
~Niga ogil gidarimyeo
Neol hyanghaeseo ootgo isseo, hey~
[As I wait for you to come
I'm smiling for you, hey]
Usui normally looked great, but Usui laughing…
Now that was a sight to behold.
~Woo
Jam motdeul ddaen gidaehae
Ddo pyeolchyeojil ~
[Woo
When you can't sleep, wait
For another unfolding tomorrow]
Misaki blushed, 'WHAT! What do you mean normally looks great? Misaki! Get a hold of yourself! Or else soon, you'll be as perverted as him!"
~Ee bami gamyeon
Naegae~
[When this night passes
You'll come to me]
'If only this night could never end…'
~Gakkeum honjaseo gileun geotda
Jamshi meomchweo jooil hanbeon dooleoboda~
[Sometimes, you walk alone
You stop for a moment and take a look around]
~Honjaraneun giboonae himi deul ddaen
Geuddaen nareul ddarahae, nareul nareul ddarahae, eh~
[When you're tired of the feeling of being alone
Follow me then, follow me, me, eh]
Struck by a thought, Usui chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing, nothing… I was just thinking how I didn't even have to say 'Follow my lead,', the song does it for me,"
~Ddo honjaseo jamae deulda
Aesseo kkubeokkkubeok jichin nooneul gamda~
[You fall asleep alone again
You try hard to doze off
You close your worn out eyes]
"Indeed it does. Actually, it reminds me of…" Misaki shook her head, "Actually, never mind…"
~Jakku saenggakae jam motdeul ddaen
Geuddaen nareul ddarahae nareul nareul ddarahae, eh ~
[When you still can't sleep
Because of the many, many thoughts
Follow me then, follow me, me, eh]
No… she couldn't tell him that the one time she slept over at his house was the best sleep she'd ever had.
Never.
~A-yo, himi deul ddaen
Doong tah dak rhythmae , oh~
[A-yo, when it's tough
Doong tah dak, Lean on the rhythm, oh]
Usui quirked a brow, but let it slide… for now.
~Neol hyanghan noraero, oh
Modu a-yo, modu a-yo~
[With our song for you,
Everyone a-yo, everyone a-yo]
'Ahh… the songs coming to the end…' Usui thought sadly, 'better make the most of it…'
And so he got ready for the line…
~Bring it side to side, ne seulpeun noonmul
Side to side, ne apeum modu~
[Bring it side to side, your sad tears
Side to side, all your pain]
And side-step and spin! Spin!
Misaki giggled as she was twirled to either side of Usui, but why did the lyrics change?
~Took teoleo rhythmae matgigo, oh
Modu a-yo, modu a-yo~
[Leave it to the rhythm, oh
Everyone a-yo, everyone a-yo]
'Oh… that's why…' The song faded out, and they stood in awkward silence for a moment before…
"Thanks for translating…"
"Thank you for dancing with me,"
Misaki flushed, "A-ah… mondainai,"
Silence reigned for another moment and then…
"You look beautiful… Misaki,"
Misaki's face now closely resembled a tomato, and Usui couldn't help but chuckle at how cute she looked.
"You said…what! I mean… no! I'm not…! Sakura, yes, but me…?"
Usui chuckled and pulled Misaki into a tight hug, using her momentary surprise to his advantage, nuzzling his head against the side of hers.
"Just like I thought… vanity is definitely not something that's apart of you… and I find that irresistibly adorable, M-i-s-a-c-h-a-n~!"
Misaki just blushed, Usui had just complimented her… he'd called her… beautiful.
"Y-you're not so bad yourself…" she muttered, pulling away.
"Hmm? What was that?"
"Nothing, nothing," Misaki looked up and smiled at Usui, "Let's go home,"
~V Is For Vanity~
Akura: It's done! Finally! *dances and cheers*
This is definitely the longest chapter I've done yet, so hopefully it was worth the wait, and I hope you guys like it ^^
Akuma: I can't believe you almost forgot to put us in… not to mention the style of this chapter is different to usual.
Sakura: It is, isn't it? It's more light at the start, and then during the song it get's sombre, and then it kinda get's sweet, ya'know?
Akura: I am aware of that… I'm not sure just how good this chapter is, it was supposed to be kinda fun and preppy, but why is it that whenever I put a song in a fic, it goes all sombre? *sigh* Oh well, please review! Anonymous reviewers more than welcome, I'm looking forward to 'W' suggestions, and I have more time since the holidays start… in ten minutes?
Wow. Am I cutting it close, or what?
ANYWAY! I recommend 'Lucifer' – SHINee, because it is the song that started off my SHINee obsession, because they have great voices, great music, and even better lyrics.
Until next chapter~!
