Miku sighed, sitting beside Rin, who was doing nothing but eating and screaming. She yelled at Kaito, to get her more food. She yelled at Meiko, to stop telling her what to do. Miku needed to leave before this little blonde brute gave her a headache. Walking out to the balcony of the cruise she was on, she held her breath as saw she Len standing by himself near the railing. His flaxen hair reflected the sunset perfectly, the image of a god right in front of her. She felt heat irradiate off her cheeks, knowing a blush was visible on her face. She made her way towards the blonde boy.

"H-hey, what are you doing out here all by yourself?" Miku asked, her hands clenched tightly around the metal bars. Len looked at her in a slight surprise, his blue eyes mesmerizing the tealette. She let out a nervous sigh, the boy answering her response after what seemed an eternity. Miku's eyes found themselves focusing on Len's lips as he talked.

"Oh, well, I know how Rin can be at dinner, so I decided to slip out before chaos ensued."

"O-oh, well, I g-guess that makes sense..." Miku's voiced wavered and thinned near the end of her sentence. She looked at the sparkling water, cursing herself for being unable to do anything around the boy she liked. She wished she was brave enough to just grab him by the collar and give a big, old-

"Kiss? Ah, Rin what a silly question, keep in mind, I'm only six years old," Luka said, returning her attention back to her novel. Rin moaned in annoyance, trying to fight off the urge to strangle the woman.

"Yeah! But you're also 20! You've been 20 for the past six years! If we aged, you'd be 26! You're telling you've gone that long without kissing anyone?!" Rin said, shifting around in her seat. Luka shrugged.

"I've never really had any interest in things like that. Love wasn't meant to be something that we can feel. How we do is a mystery even after all these years to our creators. Crypton still doesn't know the answer."

"But we do is the thing! So embrace it Luka! Look, just tell me who you want to kiss, and I'll make it happen! Kaito, Len, Gakupo? Tell me!" Rin whined, falling backwards onto the ground. She stayed liked that until Luka answered her.

"Miku."

"What?"

"I want to kiss Miku," Luka said, her eyes not wandering away from her book.

"You want to kiss Miku?! You want to kiss a girl? When you yourself are a girl, too?!" Rin said, dumbfounded. Luka's eyes stared into Rin's, her gaze unfaltering.

"Is there something wrong with that?" Luka asked, her gaze remaining the same. Rin's eyebrow furrowed, before answering the woman.

"Well, yeah! You're both girls! You should be kissing boys! That's called being lesbian, Luka! Why don't you kiss Len?!" Rin heaved.

"He's your twin brother." Luka said, her eyes following the small words printed on her book. Rin scoffed. "So?"

"Your both fourteen. And I am 20."

"What about Kaito?"

"Meiko would probably injure me if I did." Rin knew she was right. Meiko was a scary drunk. "Then what about Gakupo?"

"He's not even here, besides, I like to think of him as my older brother." Rin pouted. Maybe there really wasn't anything to convince her otherwise.

"Well, if you want to kiss Miku, I guess I'll help you. But I'm just saying it should've been with a boy!" Rin whined childishly, sitting back next to the pinkette, munching away on a bag of chips.

Kiss. She wanted to kiss him. She wanted to kiss him so bad. She liked him. A lot.

"Hey, do you want to go back inside, I bet dinner's already over, so that means Rin isn't yelling anymore...probably," Len said, his eyes looking in Miku's direction. Miku sighed, nodding her head in response. The pair walked side by side, Len's hand swaying back and forth with his steps. Miku looked at his left hand, her hand hesitant to grab his own. Miku debated as to whether or not to do so, but by the time she had decided to do it, his left hand raised to push the large metal door out of his way. Quickly getting rid of her disappointment, she focused her attention on her friends in the room.

"Ah, Luka, Rin!" Miku said, waving to the pair. Luka grunted in response, while Rin only gave Luka a smirk.

"Luka~! Guess who's here~!" Rin whispered mischievously into the woman's ear. Luka sighed in annoyance, before closing her book and standing up. She walked towards Miku.

"Excuse me, Miku," She said, before attempting to leave the lobby of the ship.

"Why are you leaving?" Len asked. Luka turned to face the blonde boy. She waved her hand in the air, responding to the boy while she did so.

"Tomorrow we arrive in America, and we have a concert coming up. I might as well practice."

"Oh...okay," Len said, giving her a sincere smile. Luka smiled back to him. Luka walked passed the boy, leaving Len a bit flustered. The scent of roses lingered in the air for some moments, Len thinking he was in heaven. Miku only looked back to watch the pinkette open the door to the lobby, leaving to return to her room. Len turned to face his twin.

Rin sat in her chair, her face twisted in a mixture of emotions. Len examined his sister's face, having trouble reading it. He looked into the face very much like his own, finally finding what Rin hid under their shared face. A slew of emotions laid there, a mixture of disgust, frustration, rejection, and sorrow. Something was happening to her that she wasn't telling him. Or quite possibly, Luka. Len walked over to sit next to his own reflection, crossing his arms to match his sister's position.

Len looked at the girl's face, her expression still the same.

"Sin."

The single word fell out the blonde girl's mouth so freely, a word that should not be spoken as such. The word pierced Len's mind, a negative impression staining his brain. The word, although dark, felt familiar, almost like he knew what Rin was saying, almost like he knew what was going to happen.

"Sin."

Len repeated those words, his mind set on what was to come.
