Rin's P.O.V
I pouted as I still remained in Len's arms. I won't admit that it was actually nice and comfortable being in his arms... NEVER! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!
"Eh...I'm going to have to make a phone call."
"Yeah, yeah, like I care..." I muttered. He set me gently down on a bench, and took out his yellow phone. Meh, just as expected, stupid fancy phone for stupid rich people.
"Hello? Kiyoteru? Yes, can you come pick us up? Errr... The normal one? Yeah, ok... Yeah we're by the library. Hn."
The library? I looked to my left and saw the public library. When did we get here? I was so lost in my hatred towards Len that I didn't even notice where he was taking me.
"Kiyoteru will be here soon... I guess we'll call a doctor from my house." He said and sat down on the bench besides me.
"Sooo... Your name is Rin?" He started.
"Yep..." I replied, not caring to follow his lead.
"Last name?"
"Kagamine."
"Really? We have the same last name? Wow that's so cool!"
"Yep... Real mind blower isn't it?" I asked sarcastically wishing he would just shut up. It's bad enough I knew that I had the same last name as this jerk but now he was going to REMIND me of it?
"You know, we look pretty similar..."
"..."
"Awkward silence..."
"..."
"Look who's there! Kiyoteruuuu!" Len yelled, trying to break the tense atmosphere in which all the negative waves were coming from me. Heh, at least the idiot knows how to read the atmosphere... And detect when someone is trying to focus all of their mental energy into killing you.
A slick black car pulled up and the black tinted window rolled down revealing a handsome, young, brown haired man with glasses.
"Master Len?"
MASTER?
"'Sup Kiyoteru... Come on Rin, let's get on."
My eye twitched. Get on? Did he forget what he had done to me?
"In case the genius hasn't realized it... I can't walk!" I yelled to make my point.
"Riiiigghht..." He said thoughtfully.
He walked up to me and lifted me from the bench. Kiyoteru walked out and opened the door. Len gently carried me inside and placed me on the cushioned seat next to him.
I couldn't help but blush a little... Why is he so gentle with me?
... Duh, I have a broken leg. No other reason.
"Master Len... Miss Hatsune called asking about your wearabouts. She said you weren't present during the fifth period."
My insides boiled. Miss Hatsune? Meh... So now they treat her like she's some kind of high status princess just because she is going out with this brat besides me? Oooohhhh I am mad now... Wait, I was already mad.
"I'll call her back later..." Len replied and looked in my direction.
What? Why is he looking at me like that? Is he assuming I'll get jealous or something? The jerk! I am so gonna kick him in the-
"Hey you still look pissed off... I already said sorry didn't I?" He asked innocently.
"Well smart one, now I'll probably end up in crutches." I said, not planning to show any mercy.
"Look, I'm sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorr-"
"OKAY FINE, I FORGIVE YOU! JUST SHUT UP!"
"Okay! I knew that would work." He said smugly.
"You little-" I began to say.
"Master Len we are here." Kiyoteru announced while hiding a grin. He was getting amused by me wasn't he? Ooh the nerve...
"Nice... C'mon Rin."
I gave him the death glare. Is he mocking me? This little pretty rich boy is gonna get it soon. Where is Kaito when you need him?
"Ahhh right! Leg! Damn it sorry, I keep on forgetting."
"Yeah, whatever... JUST GET ME OFF!"
"Temper, temper..."
"I WOULDNT HAVE A TEMPER IF SOME IDIOT HADN'T BROKEN MY LEG!"
"Okay, okay, I accept my fault. Now will you please calm down?" He spoke softly while raising his hands as if to protect himself from me.
I crossed my arms over my chest and put on my deadliest death glare. Mwahaha... If looks could kill, Len would be soooo dead. Yep, just plop,there goes pretty boy.
"Why are you looking off into space in a menacingly manner?" Len asked, slowly studying my face.
"I'm plotting your de- I mean none of your business."
He gave me a questioning look and proceeded to take me out of the car.
"Er, Master Len... Shall I carry the Miss into the house? Mrs. Kagamine could misunderstand and tell Miss Hatsune."
"Eh... No. I have to take responsibility for what I did to Rin. Plus, I don't think my mom thinks I'm stupid and evil enough to cheat on Miku."
"I see."
"Yea..."
He lifted me up and walked towards a small house.
"That's your house? Hahaha! And I thought you were rich!" I said while laughing uncontrollably.
"Ehhh... That's the servants quarters. My house is over there..." He said, nudging his head to the left.
Hahaha... Can't be much bigger than that on-
FORGET WHAT I JUST SAID!
IT WAS ENORMOUS! It was perfectly carved marble house... Not a huge mansion but it was close enough!
"You looked surprised..." Len remarked with a smirk.
"I-I-I shut up! I had just never seen a house this big before!"
"Ten rooms isn't that big..."
"IT IS COMPARED TO MY THREE BEDROOM HOUSE!" I yelled.
"Sheeez... You're gonna leave me deaf by the end of today." Len muttered.
"It would serve you right!"
"Calm down... Let's just hope my mom doesn't freak."
"Y-your m-mom?" I squeaked.
"Yep..."
I gulped as he carried me towards the huge house. Holy oranges... Save me!
✿.·°∴✿°· °✿
"Oh my dear! How could Len have done something like this to you?"
"Mff dff nf" was all I could reply since Len's mom had me trapped in a death hug.
Yeah since she was quite a bit taller than me my head was stuck in her chest! If I didn't die from a broken leg, then Len's mother would surely kill me!
"You're so cute!" She gushed.
Then she turned around and smacked Len on the head.
"Len! How could you have broken this cute girl's leg? You're going to have to take responsibility!"
"Dude... You sure did it this time."
I turned to the doorway where I saw a tall blonde girl standing. She had long golden hair and resembled Len's mother a lot.
"Lily... I don't need your help." Len muttered.
"Broooothhherrr!"
Len couldn't react fast enough to dodge the yellow blur that ran past me and tackled him.
"Neru! Can't breathe!"
"Sorry!" She quickly got off of him.
The way he ended all squished actually made me feel sorry for him... Just a little.
"Who's she? I approved the teal one but I'm not approving this one!" She said, pointing to me.
"This is Rin. I broke her leg so now I got to take care of her." Len explained.
Neru formed an "o" with her lips. Her side ponytail swung vigorously as she turned back to me.
"I still don't like her!" She exclaimed.
"Too bad." Len muttered, apparently not caring about what she had to say.
"Mother!" Neru whined.
"She is so cute! Much better than Miki!"
"Miku..." Len corrected.
"Whatever... Why don't you leave her and," she said as she grabbed me again, "take this girl as a girlfriend?"
"WHAT?" The three of us yelled in unison.
And by three I mean Len, Neru, and I.
"Come on... Isn't she cute?" She asked, squeezing my cheeks together.
"No!"
"..."
Why was Len blushing? What the hell?
I felt someone else poke my cheek. I turned to see the eldest sibling poking me.
"She's squishy."
I sweat-dropped. One thinks I'm some adorable teddy bear. Another thinks that I'm some sort of bothersome threat of some kind. And another one thinks I'm squishy... who knows what the blonde jerk who broke my leg thinks. Nice family...
Let's have a quick scan...
Len's Mom: tall, slim, shining happy blue eyes identical to Len's, shoulder length curly golden hair, and a warm smile. In all a nice person.
Lily: very long blonde hair. Golden eyes. Rockish clothing... In all a quiet, reserved, but still cool and fun person.
Neru: long golden hair tied in a side ponytail on the left side of her head. Golden eyes. She hates me... period.
Len: not so tall... Cerulean blue eyes. Golden hair tied back in a small ponytail. No, he is not good looking. HE IS AN EGOTISTICAL PLAYBOY JERK! He is dating a leek freak! ... Hey it rhymed! Back to Len hate fest: He broke my leg! And dared to smack me with a basketball! Stuuuupid jeeeerk go dieeeee!
"Riiiin... You're spacing out agaaaiiin~" Len sang.
"Shut up, jerk!"
"Geez..."
"Len! I already called the doctor. He'll be here in a couple minutes. I have to go to work. Tell him to put it on my tab and I'll pay later. Don't harass Rin you hear me?"
"What?" Len asked.
"Bye!"
"I already have a girlfriend..."Len muttered after she had left.
"Soooo..."
"Len, I'm going out... Take care of Neru and Rin."
What? Lily is leaving? Nooooo! That leaves me with a Rin hater and a Rin breaker!
We stayed in total silence... Heard of love triangles? Well we were in a hate triangle.
Neru was giving ME the death glare and I was giving LEN the glare while he was giving NERU the same treatment... Nice little triangle we had going on. You could just FEEL the love in the air...
The doorbell shook us out of our hateful trance.
"I'll get it." Neru sighed and stood up. She opened the door.
A young doctor came in. He had silver hair and red eyes. In all a very handsome guy.
"So who has the broken leg?" He asked, looking at us.
Both Len and Neru didn't hesistate in pointing at me.
"Oh... I see."
He kneeled next to me and took out his medical bag.
"So are you a cousin?" He asked as he began writing stuff on a tablet.
"No."
"Really? You look almost identical to Len."
Great... Another one who reminds me of my great woe.
"You're going to have to accompany me to my office so we could take X-rays and see how bad the break really is." Dell said as he felt my leg.
I nodded.
"Len, want to come along?" The doctor asked.
No! Just no! There is no way he would want to co-
"Sure, Dell."
"But Leeeen!"
"Don't worry Neru. We'll be back soon."
"But-"
"Bye!"
I couldn't help but feel smug as Dell carried me out.
Rin Hater Neru: 0
Rin the Awesome: 1
Dell placed me inside the car in the backseat and Len rode shotgun.
"So is she your girlfriend?" Dell asked Len.
He didn't have to say names. We all knew who he meant by SHE.
"What?" The words escaped my mouth... Louder than they should have...
"I'll take that as a no..." Dell said.
Len simply remained quiet, not bothering to assure him that he was going out with leek freak. Stupid idiot...
"Well let's go inside." The doctor instructed as his car came to a halt.
Len nodded and this time HE carried me inside and ALL the way into Dell's office. Why HIM?
After a few X-rays, Dell left to gather his stuff to put a cast on my leg. That left just me and Len... Alone. Arrrgh! Stupid idiot's presence is already irritating me!
My message tone went off and I dug out my phone from my bag. Hah, I had almost forgotten that I was still carrying that thing around. My hatred for Len is so big it makes me forget everything.
The screen read: (Kaito: Where are you? Why did you leave early o.O? R u sick? O.o? Did someone kidnap you? O.O)
I giggled. Kaito was always watching out for me.
I quickly replied: (Me: Len broke my leg so I'm kinda in the hospital at the moment xP)
Quick as lightning I received a reply: (Kaito: WHAT? That jerk! What hospital are you in? I'm coming right away!)
(Me: no need. Len is here and I'm getting my cast on.)
(Kaito: no! I want to help you!)
(Me: it's fine... Meet me at my house, k?)
"People shouldn't text while waiting for their cast..." Len muttered while trying to look over my shoulder.
"And why may I ask?"
"Is it Kaito again?" He asked.
"Yes! And why do you care?" I questioned in an irritated tone.
"Isn't he that blue haired loner from school?" He asked curiously.
"He's not a loner! I am the loner! He is my best friend!" I yelled, not going to let him refer to Kaito that way.
He was taken aback and opened his mouth to say something but no words came out.
The rest of the wait for Dell was spent in complete awkward silence.
"I'm...back...?" Dell asked but let his question drop as he sensed the tension in the air.
I looked up at him and smiled. Just because I hate Len doesn't mean I should hate on the nice doctor, right?
"Well... The results from the X-rays show that you have a minor break. It should take about three weeks to heal." Dell said while putting up the transparent negatives of my leg. You could see a small crack in the bone.
"So, that being said you will need to use crutches. If the break would've been worse then you would've needed to be in a wheelchair but luckily that wasn't the case." He said knowingly while filling out some forms.
Stupid Len this is all your fault...
✿.·°∴✿°· °✿
In about twenty minutes we were out of the hospital. I had caught on rapidly on how to use my crutches. It wasn't as hard as I thought. Though I had almost mastered my skills with using crutches, Len still had to help me get down the ramp.
Dell had let me choose the color of my cast and naturally I chose orange. It made my leg look all swollen and fat... Yuck.
Len was currently driving me home, well Kiyoteru actually...
He had been as silent as a mouse since the incident in Dell's office. The only time he spoke was when I had mumbled "thanks" when he helped me go down the ramp but all he had said was, "Hn."
Hmmm... What made the jerk go all quiet?
My train of thought crashed as we arrived at my house.
Len silently helped me out and knocked on the door for me. The door swung open to reveal Kaito, my blue haired best friend.
His eyes danced with joy as he saw me but then flickered a darker shade as he saw Len.
"Rin... So it was true this idiot broke your leg." Kaito seethed.
I was surprised... Kaito was always warm and friendly around me. Why was he angry all of a sudden? I know Len is easy to hate but come on, the guy did just help me.
"Yes it was me," Len replied in the same cold manner, "that is why I am helping her."
"Nobody needs your help!" Kaito yelled.
"Well I don't see you helping."
"Stop!"
Both boys stopped arguing and turned to look at me.
"Stop fighting..." I whispered and shut my eyes tightly.
"I'm sorry Rin... I know how much you hate fighting." Kaito apologized.
Len just stood there silently observing. After moments of silence he cleared his throat and spoke.
"I'm leaving... Take care Rin. And once again, I am very sorry about what I caused." He said softly and turned around.
"Wait!"
I didn't know what I was doing but I ran (as fast and as awkward as you can run with crutches) up to him and took a hold of his warm hand... Which almost caused me to fall since I was new to the whole crutches thing and had droped one of the crutches to grab his hand. I lost my balance and had to hold on to him for support.
"Thank you... For helping me." I muttered and tried to ignore the fact that I was slightly blushing since he was holding me tightly to keep me from falling.
His blue eyes met mine and they shined with happiness, "It was my pleasure."
Kaito silently came up to me and handed me the other crutch. I let go of Len and once again stood on my own.
"See ya!" He said and climbed back into his car.
"Bye..." I whispered as Kiyoteru drove away.
Kaito snickered and looked at me.
"Didn't you used to hate the guy?" He asked.
"I still do! I-Its just that he helped me! I couldn't just be an ingrate and say nothing about it! P-plus... He isn't THAT bad." I blurted.
"Sure..." He sighed and helped me into the house.
Once seated I looked onto the empty house. I wonder if mom will get mad when she gets back...
"I'm sorry Rin... I didn't mean to yell." Kaito spoke softly.
"It's fine. I know you can't stand Len, but he seriously did help me." I replied.
The rattle of keys made me jump and gulp in fear. Sounds like Mom is home...
"Rin, I'm home!" She called out but was left surprised as she saw us in sitting on the couch.
"Hi Kaito..." She spoke.
"Hello Ms. Sakine." Kaito replied politely.
My mother's eyes trailed down to my leg which was currently snug in its cast. Her brown eyebrow arched and her burgandy eyes asked for an explanation.
Ok, before I continue I should tell you something about my "mother". She is technically not my mother but might as well be. She is my aunt and therefore carries the name Sakine; Meiko Sakine.
My mother died in a car accident when I was about 5 so that is why I only have vague and blurry memories of her. The closest I get to remembering her is a warm feeling in my stomach that spreads throughout my body. I vaguely remember shining blue eyes, hair as golden as the sunlight and a soothing magic within every gentle touch. Besides that, my mother is a complete stranger to me. The photographs left behind don't really help at all. After being passed around to many relatives, everybody decided they didn't want to deal with a child resented with her mother's death. In those times after her passing, I rarely spoke and ate only when absolutely necessary. People thought of me as a burden so why make it any more complicated?
Finally my relatives decided that my aunt Meiko had the most responsibility over me since she was my mother's sister. Meiko had disappeared to Japan as soon as I was two months old and hadn't been heard of for years. My grandmother on my father's side had insisted that she come and take care of the "troublesome child".
After contacting many people and weeks of tracing and searching, Aunt Meiko Sakine was found. They told her about the death of my mother and a week later she flew in to take me all the way from America to Japan. Yes, I am originally Japanese though I look nothing like it. My mother's strong "American" appearance overpowered my father's Japanese side. My bags were packed, and we left; leaving behind my old life and sad memories with only a stuffed panda in hand.
Getting here I secluded myself away from people even more. I wouldn't talk to anyone and teachers didn't know what to do. That's when Kaito came in. He moved into the house at the end of the block and through his friendship and kindness I began to open up until I finally became a "normal" teen.
Meiko rarely being around left me alone to deal with my school expieriences. I never had to worry about bullies since Kaito always protected me. I think that is what led me to fall in love with him: his determination and kind heart.
I learned to deal with Meiko's absences and instead focused on the good things in my life. I grew to love the mysterious woman and I now consider her my mother.
Back to where we were...
I slowly explained everything from getting smacked with the ball to Len helping me and taking me to the hospital.
She shut her eyes and rubbed her temples in her "lawyer like" manner.
"So you're telling me that some idot broke your leg but then he helped you?" She asked finally.
"Um, yeah?" I responded nonchalantly.
"Ugh, why do they make breakable kids like you play basketball?"
"It's part of P.E! And in case you haven't noticed... I'm fifteen years old!" I yelled.
She blinked and remained silent for a while, "Yeah, I'm sorry Rin."
Kaito silently stood up muttered goodbye and left the house. Hah, Meiko had given him a set of keys to the house so we just simply responded and once again stayed in silence. He'll come back soon so no need for formal goodbye's.
"I'm going to be leaving tomorrow morning after you go to school to go to a case in America. I won't be back for at least a week. I'm going to leave you plenty of food in the refrigerator and I know you are old enough to survive on your own. Besides Kaito has the key he will be coming in to check on you."
I couldn't help but be surprised. A whole week? The longest she's been away is a few days!
"Don't look so surprised, it comes with my job," she smiled and stood up,then she reached and patted my head, "I'm going to go pack."
I gave her a sad smile and nodded. Even when I have a broken leg... Even when I have so many things to tell her... She still leaves.
Tears start to form in my eyes and I feel the salty sting.
What is it like to have a real mother?
I wiped the struggling tears away before they had the chance to escape.
"Well... I have homework."
Len's P.O.V
I fiddled with the mechanical pencil in my hand. Ugh... It's usless trying to focus on english. I am the poet without inspiration... That was such a fail.
I closed the yellow composition notebook I had "tried" to write in and stood up from my desk. I slowly walked over to the window in my room and looked out. The sun was illuminating the trees and the birds glittered with joy... Heh, and I thought I wasn't a poet.
But... There was a certain something bugging my creative mind, well my mind in general.
...Or should I say someone?
But the question here is why? Why won't Rin Kagamine leave my mind?
I mean... I already have a girlfriend... Which makes it an even more grave problem.
Truth is... I don't really like, much less love, Hatsune Miku. I'm just doing it for the popularity. Back in middle school I had bad expiriences that won't happen to me ever again.
So if I want to be popular... Urgh! Her face keeps on interupting my miiiinddd!
It was no lie when I told her I hadn't noticed how pretty she was in the infirmirary. Truth is... I had never payed attention to her at all. Sure, I sometimes saw her with Kaito and sure, I thought it was weird that she wasn't kissing up to me...But I didn't really care.
But now...
I still remember how she felt in between my arms, as if they had been molded just for her. That's a creepy thought...
Her face looked so angelic while she slept and then when she opened her eyelids they revealed the most beautiful blue eyes I've seen. Then the way she started yelling at me made her face turn red and she looked really cute.
I unconsciously raised my hand to my cheek and smiled. She has a really strong hand despite how weak she looks.
That is the first time I have been slapped my another girl because I had held on to her. Interesting... Maybe that is why I can't stop thinking about her. Too bad she hates me, or maybe we could've been good friends.
Wait... I broke her leg, right? So I'm responsible...right? So that means I must help her get to her classes and take her home and stuff. So that means I'll have to take her to school tomorrow...
Hah, that was genius logic right there…
Me+Responsibility = More Rin Time.
Nice.
Hmm... Blue eyes... Golden hair...
I have inspiration!
I rushed to my desk and flipped open the composition book.
This is sooo easy. Hah, who said it was complicated?
