There is no excuse on why the hell I'm so late with a second chapter except that, I basically have a writer's block after I start a story...ALWAYS! But, after seeing that I have almost 40 followers on this story, I had to update.
So here it is! Guys, make sure to check out the new story that had been posted yesterday, "The Princess Pauper" by My-violinprince, it's so good! Also, check out a new story that Mikanlove posted earlier today. It's called Law's Affair ;) I gave her the plot so let's watch her take the plot to make it into a great story!
~Enjoy

"You." Misaki's eye twitched as her finger raised to point at the man who continued to stare at her. Her eye's were wide as she stood up. "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LOOKING?!"
Misaki, without thinking, took a hair brush from the table and threw it at the window furiously, directly towards his face which caused his to stumble back in surprise.
Misaki snarled and picked up a towel and wrapped it around her tightly before taking her exit from the spa room and stormed outside to where the man was.
When she was out, she didn't hesitate to grab his blazer's collar when he was on the ground, shocked. She growled, "You…!"
"Miss. Ayuzawa!" a lady screamed, panicking as she rushed to Misaki's side. "Please calm down!"
Misaki's face turned red. "Calm down?! How am I supposed to calm down when this perverted asshole peaked on me?! He saw me naked damnit!"
The blond man below her didn't react but his face scrunched and looked confused below her. Misaki turned back to him, wanting to throw a punch.
"You, do you want to die?" Misaki asked and scoffed.
"Miss. Ayuzawa please," The lady whispers. "You only have a towel, let's go change so please calm down. Forgive him…."
Misaki blinked and looked down at the thin towel she wore to cover her cleavage and her bottom half. She blushed when she realized that she was sitting on top of the man as well.
"Sir…!" Men called, running down the spa hall.
Misaki clenched her fist and released the man. She folded her arms and glared down at the man that sat up smoothly.
"Sir, are you alright?!" The man asked frantically as the others helped the man up.
The guy with ombre hair looked at Misaki, ignoring that she old had a thin towel around her body. "What happened here?"
"I don't know who you guys are but, that guy over was peaking on me and practically saw me naked." Misaki exclaimed, her voice was raspy and harsh. "Men...are all the same aren't you?"
The men looked at each other and one of them smiled as the others helped the blond man clean up.
"Um, there must be some kind of mistake." The man with ombre hair chuckled nervously. "I think you're misunderstanding somethi—"
"Misunderstanding?" Misaki scoffed. "You, were you here when this happened? No. I saw it with my own eyes, he stared right at me."
"Yes but—"
"There wasn't anything to look at…" The man with blonde muttered, not blinking. "It was my mistake."
Misaki snapped her gaze at him, she felt every nerve in her system snap in anger. She bit her bottom bit. "Excuse me…!?"
She lunged at him, ready to slap his face is anger but the men in black jumped in front of her before she could do so.
"Miss. Ayuzawa please," the lady murmurs desperately. "Pease let it go, Mr. Walker here saw nothing. You have to understand, he's not what you think!"
Misaki snarled. "Then what is he?!"
"Misaki, I'd like to introduce you to Takumi Walker, CEO billionaire of Walker's Corps. From the UK" Mr. Yang formally introduced. "I forgot to mention yesterday that...he's blind."
Misaki tapped her foot quickly as she stared at Takumi.
He was wearing dark sunglasses, his blond hair pulled back, he was wearing a black suit and held a folding white cane in his hand.
Misaki could see it without having to know, he looked obviously depressed although there was a facade expression he held.
Her eyes narrowed, taking a better look at him. He seems...familiar…
"Initially, we were supposed to come to Britain for this job but for serious reasons, Mr. Walker requested to be here." Mr. Yang explained.
Misaki ignored Mr. Yang. "What were you doing in the woman's spa anyway?" Misaki asked, her voice coming out more harshly than she intended.
Her voice and attitude made Mr. Yang cringe. He whispered anxiously. "Misaki…!"
Misaki ignored Mr. Yang. "Whether you're blind or not, you shouldn't be walking around the building on your own."
"It was my fault for taking my eyes off him, so I'll apologize." The man with ombre hair says, bowing his head slightly. "Mr. Walker has the tendency to roam…"
Misaki glared at Takumi who was just silent. "Mr. Walker, I can't be more upset that you are letting your henchman take the blame."
"Cedric, who is this woman?" Takumi asked. "You can't expect me to have such a person to be my bodyguard."
Misaki scoffed. "Excuse me?" She was going to argue but Cedric leaned towards Takumi's ear frantically and whispered something.
Takumi sighed and nods in defeat. "I apologize. That was rude…"
Misaki crossed her arms in victory but Mr. Yang nudged her waist. Misaki glared at him but he gave her a serious look.
When Yang gives that look, it meant he was serious and Misaki would always be immediately taken down.
She shifted uncomfortably for a few minutes before Yang nudged her harder and mouthed, 'apologize' to her.
She cleared her throat. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions…"
That's when Yang beamed and said, "So Misaki will be glad to be your bodyguard, she will take good care of you Mr. Walker."
Takumi nods.
Misaki only continued to stare at Takumi. She didn't like him. Not one bit, and although it was a misunderstanding that he had seen her naked, Misaki could see the coldness he had.
"Here's the contract." Yang took out 2 copies of the contract and laid it on the table in front of Misaki and Takumi. "It states that for your required time here in Japan, the bodyguard will follow you, serve you and protect you from any danger. If the agent is to do anything beyond that and upsets you, you are free to report back to headquarters and we will send you another agent."
Takumi nods.
Misaki thought, I wouldn't mind being dismissed anyway…
Yang continued. "The contract has a 6 month expiry date. If you would like to continue having her service, you would have to renew the contract. The 6 month set has a reason behind it for the agent's and the employer's comfort...is that okay Mr. Walker?"
"Fine."
"Great...if you would both sign each other's contract—" Yang stopped and realized that Takumi couldn't see. "Ah…"
Cedric took out a pen and gave it to Takumi and guided his hand to where he had to sign. Misaki also took out a pen from her blazer.
She stared at the contract in disappointment. Here goes my freedom for the next 6 months...and she signed the page and gave it to Takumi.
They exchanged contracts and she signed it again.
"Cedric can we leave now?" Takumi murmurs.
There was a pause. "Of course." Cedric said as he helped Takumi up. Takumi unfolded his cane and began to walk away out of Cedric's guidance.
Misaki, following her orders specific to her contract, also stood up and followed them silently. "Daily reports, Mr. Yang?"
"Please." Yang nods before Misaki shuts the door and followed after Cedric and Takumi.
"Why're you following us?" Takumi murmurs. "You can go home."
Misaki scoffed to herself. "I have a contract to follow, it means to follow you around."
"You don't have to, I can protect myself."
Misaki frowned. "What was the point of the contract then?"
"It wasn't like I wanted to sign a contract with a petty agent."
Misaki felt a nerve snap inside her. He pisses her off more than he should. She really hates men. She turned to Cedric and handed him a note. "My phone number, home phone, email and the address to my home is all on the paper. If anything happens, please make sure to call me immediately in case if I'm not here, as a top class agent, I travel frequently but since I've made a contract, I can't leave the country...but I can hold more than one contract."
"Thank you— here's my phone number and email as well...if you'd like I can—"
"Don't bother Cedric. Just give her your number."
"Yes…" Cedric offered a small apologetic grin to Misaki. "Here's my number…"
Misaki really didn't approve of the blond guy's attitude, just when she was about to comment on it, Cedric gave her a look and shook his head.
Misaki complied and didn't say anything. Cedric continued. "I am taking Mr. Walker to where he will be staying, are you coming with us?"
Misaki hesitated. "I have...somewhere to be today. Is it too much to ask if I will return tonight?"
"Not at all, Mr. Walker will just be settling down tonight." Cedric said. "I don't think there will be a need for you tonight."
"Then, I'll be passing by to see where you'll be staying and I'll secure the place with a few trinkets of mine." Misaki said.
"Okay."
With that, Cedric gave her the address to where the blond and Cedric would be staying at and Misaki left. Before she did, she took one final look at Takumi who had stayed silent the entire time.
Misaki had a blank face on as she parked her Chevrolet in the underground parking out. She took her keys out of the hole and stepped out with a bouquet of white roses.
She then locked the car and walked over to an elevator that took her up to the main floor. When the doors open, it revealed a spacious lobby with men and woman in white coats and surgical outfits.
She reaches the reception desk. "Hello, Yuuna."
"Ah, Miss. Ayuzawa!" A lady in her 40s smiled, her soft face gleamed. "Here to see Minako again?"
"Yes." Misaki smiled.
"What a lovely daughter you are, here to see her mother every day." Yuuna laughed.
"Is her condition stable? Anything new?" Misaki asked urgently.
"Everything is okay, rest assured." Yuuna said. "Off you go now! She's waiting for you."
Misaki bowed her head and quickly left the desk and towards the elevator again. She pressed the floor that was for VVIPs. When the doors opened, Misaki stepped out and walked down the halls with her bouquet.
She got to the room labeled, 'Minako Ayuzawa'.
Before She stepped in, Misaki's smile turned upside down and her expression was dark and sad. She stuck it up and smiled again.
She turned the knob confidently and stepped inside the dark lit room where a single bed laid and there was a woman with shoulder length raven hair with wires connected to her.
The woman's eyes closed, her face was thinner than an average person, her arms and fingers looked frail, and her face was as pale and lifeless than ever. Lips parted as the woman steadily breathed into the tube.
Misaki's heart never ceased to race at the painful sight. It never ceased to ache so much. Misaki's hand clenched the bouquet, enough for her to feel her own nails digging her own skin.
Minako Ayuzawa, Misaki's mother, is currently in her 7th year in a coma. It was rare for one to be in a coma this long but, it just showed how serious this was.
Misaki, getting the job as an agent, worked hard for the last years just to pay for her mother's welfare.
Mother…
Misaki crossed the room and sat on the chair quietly in front of the woman whose eyes had been closed for years. "Good morning, Mom. I brought you flowers."
Later That Night
After staying by her sleeping mother's side for almost the entire day, Misaki had decided to finally resume her duties. She had to go and see where her new client was staying at.
She looked at the address Cedric had given her and typed it into her built-in GPS in her car and followed the directions until she had came to large skyscraper that was actually not far from her own condo. Which was good, she could come to his aid quicker.
Misaki was about to enter the building to do a small inspection of the place before her phone rang.
"Hello?" Misaki answered.
"It's me, Cedric Morris."
"Ah, Cedric, I'm just outside the building. I'm about to go in and do a quick round about inside so if you can let me in—"
"Mr. Walker is gone." Cedric said, there was a tense edge to his voice.
Misaki frowned. "What?"
"I came back to the apartment after doing a little business here and there and when I came back, Mr. Walker was gone."
Misaki cursed in her mind, wondering what the hell was wrong with this Takumi guy.
"When did you leave?"
"About 10 minutes ago,"
"Then for a blind guy, he shouldn't have gone far." Misaki said. In annoyance, she said, "I'll go find him, what's his number?"
"He doesn't have a phone, I'm afraid. He always thought it was useless for him…"
"..."
"..."
"What?"
"Mr. Walker doesn't own a cell phone." Cedric repeats.
"That idiot…!" Misaki cursed under her breath. "Fine, I'll go around searching for him."
"Thank you, Miss. Ayuzawa!"
She hung up. She glared down at her phone before making a face. "What high class idiot business man doesn't own a damn cell phone?!" Misaki yelled in anger. "Whatever his situation, he's just asking to get killed damnit!"
Misaki shuts her phone off and shoves it in her pant pocket before she started running around to search for him. After about 20 minutes of running around the entire block around the building, Misaki finally ran into a quiet, empty park.
"Damnit why do I have to go find an idiot?!" Misaki exclaimed as she jogged.
She jogged down the park until she got fed up and took off her shoes with small heels. "Tch." Misaki scowled when her feet started to hurt. She was angrily yelled to herself. "Why'd I even think to buy these ridiculous things."
She slowed down to rub her heels but shook it off and when she looked up, she saw a mob of blond messy hair. The man was crouching beside the park bench.
It was Takumi.
Misaki huffed and rolled her eyes. What the hell is he doing? Misaki wondered in annoyance. He ran away just to be doing whatever the hell we he was doing.
When she walked up to him, she saw that he was touching something.
She silently loomed over to see that he was fondly caressing a little kitten's head. Misaki stared at him, not saying a word.
"How long do you plan on breathing on my neck?" his suddenly comment surprised her.
Misaki jumped back in surprise when he suddenly stood up with the kitten in his hands.
"How'd you know?" Misaki asked.
Misaki could hear the mock in his voice. "Your complaints aren't exactly quiet. I heard you from almost a mile away."
"Well, I'm sorry that I had to go find a child who refuses to stay put." Misaki said.
"Me?"
"Who else?" Misaki said sourly. "I don't know what you're doing but your little butler is getting impatient. Go home."
"No."
"What?"
"Do you have a problem with your hearing, woman? I said no. I want to stay out and enjoy the air." Takumi said, resting his white cane down on his lap. He quirked an eyebrow. "Aren't I like your master? Why do you speak so rudely to me?"
"It never got in the way of work," Misaki said. "I'll speak to you anyway I want. Now, go home." Misaki ordered.
"..."
"..."
"Why are you cruel to men?" He asked. "Before I arrived here, I've been told that the agent that will be working with me, despises men."
Misaki stared at his dark glasses as he stared at nothing. Misaki smirked. "Well that rumor isn't a lie. It's true. I hate men. They're dirty, unfaithful, they can never be trusted, always throwing away a woman's heart….I hate all men."
"I see…" Takumi muttered, "Relationship problems?"
Misaki narrowed her eyes and sighed. "Kind of. Let's go now."
"I want to apologize for this morning. It's crucial for me to have a body guard right now...it's very important actually," Takumi's head slightly bowed and Misaki saw that he was serious. "This morning, I acted rudely and I guess that I was upset because I thought that you were someone else."
"Someone else?" Misaki raised an eyebrow.
Misaki watched a genuinely warm smile dance on his lips. "Yes...a girl from my childhood…she's...living here. Your singing this morning, reminded me of her so I followed your voice half-consciously… she's a very important person to me and I'm trying to find her." He flinched, realizing what he was saying. "I'm sorry. It's nothing. Let's go."
Misaki stared as Takumi unfolded his white cane and stared at walk away with the cat in his arms.
"You're keeping the cat?" Misaki asked.
Takumi stopped walking. "Well, I shouldn't leave it here should I?" and he began to walk away again. Misaki followed after her him further away.
"Normally, any man would ditch the cat."
"What makes you say that?"
"Men are scumbags."
"Don't say that," Takumi said. He paused. "It might be true though."
Misaki rolled her eyes. She continued to stare at him, her eyes were sharp. "So, while we're already talking, wanna tell me what brings you to Japan?"
"If it means that you'll be a little more willing to work for me, then sure." Takumi shrugged as he kept walking. "I have to tell you at some point anyway."
He continued. "I'm a huge CEO in the UK. I'm like their...representative of the business world. I've been blinded for a few years now but my grandfather covered it up and told everyone that I wasn't blind because if they knew, the business is in danger. I have to keep a tough facade on otherwise I'd be labeled weak and people will target me and try to take down the company."
He continued to explain. "Recently, I made a little mishap and there's been a huge uproar in the media saying that I'm blind. My grandfather told me to go hide in another country for about a year and I chose Japan."
"Why Japan?" Misaki asked, now walking in front of him to watch his facial expression.
His face was empty for a few seconds before Misaki watched it soften up. "I was born here after all, there's a lot of good memories in this place." He pressed his lips into a firm line but Misaki could see the deep meaning behind it. "A lot."
Misaki was about to ask him something but a little movement caught her eye out of her natural instinct to the littlest thing. She heard that familiar loading sound and the sound of a gun being set up.
Misaki cursed and looking back at Takumi immediately. Danger! Her mind hissed. Someone behind the bushes was going to shoot at Takumi.
Following her instincts to protect, Misaki lunged forward in order to push Takumi out of the way. "WATCH OUT!"
BAM!
Misaki, instead of going forward to push Takumi out of the way and block him, she was now falling backwards and now she was on her butt. Her eyes were wide in shock. He pushed me away?! She eyed the hole in the cement that had a faint smoke coming out.
Misaki snapped back to her sense, realizing that they were still in action. She snapped her head back to behind the trees where the person who was trying to shoot them stood. The man in black quickly ran away as Misaki cursed.
"I have to go after him…!"
"No." Takumi said firmly.
"What?! He was trying to kill you, it's my job to go after him!"
"It's okay. He's gone right? Let's just go back."
Misaki stared at him in disbelief. There wasn't a single trace of panic on that face of his. "I have to go otherwise he'll come after you again!"
"So you're going to leave me here when there's a chance that he brought others?" Takumi inquired. "You're going to leave me here unguarded?"
Misaki bowed her head. She hadn't thought about that.
"Even if I went with you too, I'll slow you down because I'm blind, right?" Takumi said, using his cane to find where Misaki was. When his cane tapped her leg, he held a hand out. "Let's just go back."
Misaki glared at him and slapped his hand away. "How'd you know I was going to push you out of the way? Why didn't you just let me do my job damnit!"
"Why? Even though you're my bodyguard as of now, it doesn't mean that you should be treated any less than me." Takumi said calmly. "Wouldn't it be best that we both got back without injuries?"
Misaki couldn't say anything. Her face showed all signs of confusion. "How'd you know what was going on when you can't see?" She asked.
Takumi cocked his head. "Before I blind, I had many talents including blind fighting so I could fight without being able to see and just by ear." He said. "It turned out to be a handy talent. Let's get back."
Misaki watched as the guy calmly walked away again in front of her. How could a guy be so calm in a situation where he was almost killed?!
Equality he said? Wouldn't it be normal for a guy to just let the bodyguard to sacrifice themselves?! Wouldn't it be normal that he'll be glad to get away from death for his advantage using her?! Why'd he push her!?
Misaki gritted her teeth. She reminded herself, All men...are bastards…!
Misaki followed quickly behind him. She was staring at the back of his head. She clenched her fist but then softened when a thought floated through her head. Be grateful that he saved you…
Since he saved her, it was a normal reaction for someone to suddenly think the better of the savior. Misaki frowned, this was the reaction she's experiencing.
She shook her head. "Hey, you." She said a little more bitterly than she hoped.
"It's not 'you'. It's Takumi." Takumi said.
"I'll call you what I want to." Misaki said seriously. "Don't be so smug that you saved me. Don't expect it yourself that I'm going to accept you just yet. You're still a rich bastard, and those are the worst kinds."
Takumi stopped walking and slowly turned around so that he faced her. He said softly as he reached a hand out, probably looking for her head.
"Not all men are brutes. I'll show you that I'm different. You don't hold any meaning to me but, I'll give it a shot and get you to accept me."
"Hah," Misaki scoffed. "Challenge accepted."
The Next Day
"ARRRGGGGG!" Misaki yelled furiously one morning as she nearly pulled out her hair. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
Misaki's jaw hung wide open as she took another glance in the mirror. Misaki came to Takumi's apartment to finish installing a few items of hers around the building to ensure Takumi's security but she had somehow been dragged into his apartment and now, he was forced to put on an outfit.
"So, does it fit you?" Takumi called from outside the door.
"TO HELL WITH THAT YOU BASTARD! WHY'D YOU MAKE ME WEAR A MAID COSTUME YOU PSYCHO!" Misaki yelled.
"Didn't the contract say to do as I say?" Takumi points out. "You'll be my bodyguard you'll also be a maid too."
Misaki screeched. "I DIDN'T AGREE TO BE YOUR BODYGUARD TO BE A MAID DAMNIT! DON'T MESS WITH ME YOU F*CKING BLIND SADIST!"
She heard him sigh.
"Cedric, go get me her cloths."
Cloths? Misaki snapped her head to where she thought she had left her cloths on to change into the maid outfit. It wasn't there?!
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET MY CLOTHS DAMNIT?!" Misaki yelled.
From behind the closed door, Takumi said. "If you want it, come get it~! Otherwise, it's going into the trash so you'll have to wear that maid outfit all day!"
Misaki snapped.
She flung the door wide open and saw Takumi standing there with his usual dark shades of perfect hair while holding her stack of cloths in one hand.
"GIVE IT TO ME—" Misaki exclaimed, lunging forward with hesitation to grab it. But, she had only pushed Takumi and herself down to the floor.
She felt a hand touching her chest and her eyes snapped open. She looked down to see that she had fell on top of Takumi and his hand was on her chest?!
"What...is this?" Takumi muttered to himself. "Why is it so flat…? Is it cardboard…?" he squeezed again and Misaki blushed. "Maybe not…."
Misaki's mouth hung open and her face turned red before she grabbed onto his collar for the second time, wanting to choke him. "YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!"
