HAHA HELLO AGAIN! *waves*

I just thought up and I think this is a really cool idea. Yes, I know there has been a story kind of like this before and hats of to the author of that story. I hope I'm not copying because that is definitely not my intention. I think this is going to be even harder to keep up character traits then my previous one-shot story: Sugar and Grapes. But I'm gonna try my best and you're probably just gonna have to put up with it. Also, this is going to be my first chapter story ~audience applause!~ and it's probably going to go on for 4-5(?) chapters.

Disclaimer: Don't own Maid Sama and do not own the characters. However, the plot is to be mine.


Usui POV

I knelt down and got my gear up. The night air cool against what little of my skin wasn't shielded by the black material that covered me. I breathed and exhaled. This was going to be hard. I have been sent to kill many other women (traitors, infiltrators etc.) but I found this particular one harder.I eyed the woman down at the ball. She was in a violet dress that cascaded down her body in elegant folds. She beamed at anyone who talked to her and she was absolutely beautiful. I knew that I was going to falter with this one. Especially with her young face and gentle appearance.

I placed my gun in position and took my time preparing. I tried to delay my actions as much as I could. Though I knew the outcome was inevitable. I sighed against the wind and gazed at the night sky. The ball was an in an open area with wooden structures surrounding it. Vines curled up against the structure and blossoms swayed in a rhythm. It was a beautiful night and I hate that I have to kill the even more gorgeous woman dancing. She was in the hold of another man now. He had orange hair and a face that seemed to be like a child. My heart ached suddenly and jealousy overwhelmed me. I frowned and my mind started going static like again. A memory started floating through my mind in very small pieces. I grasped my head and winced. Memories always came like this, with pain and confusion. I know that the company had wiped me clean, treating my mind like a slate. I had always held anger to that but I knew I'd never get my thoughts back. They pretended that they hadn't done anything to us. But the truth is that many of us are going through the same thing. But the memories that were slashing through my mind confused me even more. Pictures and movements of the woman I've been set to kill played through my eyes. Not the pictures the company showed me, no, pictures that seem personal and private to only me.

I winced and looked up. I watched the woman as she twirled. She couldn't be any older then 25. Could she be part of my past? Why does the company want me to kill her? Then she looked up, right into my eyes. Her amber ones seemed to glow in the moonlight, feline-like. I stayed still, holding onto the false hope that she was looking at something else. I knew that she was looking at me though. Her face paled considerably and her partner started talking to her. A worried expression etched into his face. For some reason, I didn't like him. I didn't like him one bit. He seemed childish and in the way-I faltered…in the way of what? Before he followed her gaze to the roof I was perched on, I lay flat on the shingles, stomach pressed on the hard rooftop. I breathed heavily. Please still be there when I look up. I pleaded to myself, the message aimed at my target. After a few seconds, I looked up. The girl was still there but she was slowly making her way out, with the boy I had distaste for by her side.

The ball was a one night, one-day thing. The ball lasted until midnight and everyone would be sent to the all expense paid for hotel rooms. The woman was starting to exit and I knew the only place she would go would be to the hotel room. I started packing up my gear and started climbing down from the roof. I suppose it will be easier to kill her where no one else is. At the thought of her lifeless body I felt a tug at my heart. I shook my head, trying to ignore it.


Don't worry guys, it gets better :) reviews definitely wanted :D
