Serendipity

Chapter 17 - Tora Igarashi + More

"Alright then, Mimi," Usui started. "Where are you from?"

"A small village outside of Takumisa," Misaki explained. "Have you heard of Mitaku?"

"Ahh, Mitaku." Usui nodded. "It has very beautiful beaches, doesn't it?"

"Y-yes, we're very proud of our beaches." Misaki smiled. It was a faked smile, but it's not like he'd know. "Anyways, where are you from, Igarashi-san?"

"Please, Call me T"

"T?"

"It's an odd nickname that my friends use."

Misaki brought the back of her hand to cover her soft giggle. "Am I your friend already?"

"Am I not yours?" Usui pouted.

"W-well," Misaki knew better than to give the man eye contact. From the moment she saw his emerald eyes, she knew that she wouldn't be able to withstand against them for long. I wonder if I have a weakness for all emerald colored eyes. Or maybe it's like that for everyone else too. I mean like, for Takumi, everyone loved his eyes too. Or maybe just all of his alien featur--

Usui waved his hand in front of Misaki's face. "Hello? Is that a no?"

Misaki, back from her deep thoughts looked in front of her. T's face was only inches away from her own face. His dazzling eyes stared back into her own. "Oh, well... I suppose you could be..."

Usui smirked. "Good." And then once again, he planted a kiss onto her cheek.

Misaki gasped, the cocky smirk he wore made her realize that she had just played into his hands. "Y-you're so..." Misaki had to think of the right word, but her mind was all jumbled up, she could barely talk. "So... mean!" She pushed him, but he didn't budge, so then she began to hit him. Not seriously of course. If she was serious, she might just rip the dress, or send the poor guy to the hospital.

"Well if being mean means that I get to see your different expressions," Usui grabbed both of her wrists and held them in place, so she couldn't move. "Then I suppose I'll have to be mean, swe--" Usui immediately pulled one of Misaki's wrists towards him, so she fell into his arms.

"W-what do you thi--"

"Just hold on for a second."

He had thought he heard a door close earlier, but now he was certain that someone was coming. Just as Usui has suspected, someone turned into the hallway that they were in. From the clicking of the footsteps, Misaki could tell it was a woman.

W-wait, if that person sees us together, then they'll think... uh oh. Misaki pushed herself from Usui's arms. She looked down the hallway and saw someone she knew very well. Same purple hair. Same height. Same face. Satsuki Hyodo. Except, she wasn't wearing her usual maid outfit. This time she was wearing a black dress. Well duh. The ball's tonight. So she's obviously dressed for it. Hurry up and hide! She'll recognize you immediately! Misaki couldn't find anywhere to hide, because she was trapped in the hallway, so she immediately went back to where she came from. The broad chest of T.

Satsuki was carrying an empty bag that used to carry the wigs and contacts. After her 'argument' with Tora, she almost immediately left the room. If he was going to be difficult, then she wouldn't help him. Honestly, men who don't take responsibility over their actions aren't real men. They're just boys in a man's body. Hmph. Satsuki shook her head, trying to hide the anger that was still evident on her face. As soon as she paid attention to where she was walking, she saw two people in that were embracing each other in the hallway. The man, she knew very well, and a blonde haired girl who was in the man's arms.
