Rin's P.O.V

I could feel the heat emitting from his face. I frowned. When will he ever learn that he can't hide his like "crush" on me forever? I sighed. He wouldn't with my luck. At this thought, I continued to dab Len's bloodied arm with the cleaning chemical. Len wasn't thrilled, he was hissing nonstop. His arm was sizzling and white bubbles immediately formed in the gaping cut.

"My god Len, what happened?" I asked again, surprised at the deepness of his wound.

"I told you already, a fight," he replied bluntly.

His lack of understanding angered me. I knew perfectly well that this wasn't some ordinary fight. I wasn't going to let it slide by me either.

"Seriously Len, tell me now!" I shouted at the black cat boy.

Len jumped back to my tone. For a few seconds he sat there silent. The sound of the sizzling peroxide was the only thing that saved us from the awkwardness of dead silence. His arm jolted again, his winced look formed again. By this moment I figured he wasn't going to let up. I had to figure out though, kind of like… How I have to someday see that full moon. But, I have that strange sense that, it may never happen…

"R-rin! Get it off!" Len hollered, tossing my hand away, causing the towel to drop on the grass.

I snapped back into the dreadful reality before me. I was holding the towel on a little too long it seems, the way he flinched back indicated so.

"Oh, sorry," I muttered. "I was in a daze."

"No Kidd 'in!" he remarked with slight irritation.

There was no way that a remark in that tone was going to slip by! I smacked his face. I could feel the skin on his chubby cheeks slide under my long nails. The slashing sound was louder than I expected though.

"What was that for?" Len shouted. He covered is cheek with his right hand. "That was uncalled for Rin! Hurt too!"

I didn't appreciate his street language, those plebian cat humans and their slang. They sounded like they were raised on a farm with no manners in the slightest! Unlike us sophisticated aristocrats who spend our days learning precious knowledge from our masters with the highest class. These street peasants knew nothing of manners! I can't blame him though, it's not like he was raised by a smart family, I can tell.

"Calm down," I mumbled. "I didn't kill you or anything."

"Stupid girl…" he whispered.

It wouldn't surprise me if he thought I wasn't able to hear him. I might as well let him say those things when he has an IQ of negative 100. Just to let him feel a little powerful, technically I was more powerful in wits but he I have to say, is way stronger than I.

For a while, I finished dabbing his cut and other wounds on his body. The hot atmosphere became tense. My cheeks felt as if they were burning. Len seemed to have this affect too. Once I stopped, Len glanced nervously at his pockets for something. His blue eyes… Blue eyes… they were magnificent, majestic like the ocean. What was I thinking? He was a stupid cat boy that probably never witnessed clean water in his life and I'm thinking oceans? Where had my sanity gone this evening?

Len looked back at me with a saddening frown. His look gave my stomach a throbbing pain of sympathy. I hid closer behind the window frame, wondering what I could do. But the look on his face lost all my concentration. I blushed at my sudden forgetfulness. That cracked his lips into that mischievous smile that he wore so well.

"Well, well… Someone looks flustered," he chuckled.

The air grew wet. My nose felt the humidity between us. Either it was just naturally getting hotter or my raging anger was emitting. But still I was blushing. I glared at him, which consequentially made his smile wider.

"Will you stop being so ignorant?"

Len's P.O.V

It stung the peroxide. It burned like hell. I wished that I hadn't gotten myself into such a pointless fight. But then again, it was all for Rin. She was tending my wounds, so gently, her arm glided gracefully just as her hair did in the light breeze. I was truly amazed. The sky shone in its normal navy blue. The most beautiful night of this time, whatever that was, I was lost in my own world anyway.

Again I was staring at her unknowingly. Her eyes were peaceful, her lips… so perfectly pink, they matched that little cubby cute face she had. I was burning in red. My face was heated and strangely enough, so was my arm. But I didn't mind too much, I was in my own world, it was just me and Rin.

Without noticing, I inched forward. I wanted her… I needed her… It was burning… Burning…. I jolted my arm and flinched. My arm stung with unbearable pain that coursed through my entire body.

"Rin! Get it off!" I shouted, accidently shocking her enough to drop the towel.

"I'm sorry…." She mumbled, "I was in a daze."

I couldn't help but feel like bursting into laughter. That statement had probably been the "latest to realize" one yet! I had to make a fun remark to that!

"No kidd'in!" So I did….and of course… She wasn't too pleased. Without a moment to spare she smacked my face. It seemed reasonable for her response, but it was still going to leave a big mark for a while.

"What was that for?" I shouted irritably. Best friend or not… I don't think I deserve being slapped, especially considering what I have been through. "That was uncalled for Rin! And hurt too!"

Rin looked away from me for a few minutes, and then turned back with that natural becoming scowl. "Calm down… It's not like a killed you," she remarked.

That comment blew my strings. "Stupid girl…" I whispered, hopefully not loud enough for her to hear me.

Rin dabbed my arm again, finishing what she had started. Once done, I remembered my present for her. I had gotten her a necklace, one I found. It looked so pretty too! I searched through my pockets frantically. They were empty. The fight… That must've been how I lost it! It must've fallen out of my pocket. My stomach lurched. The heat of embarrassment to my on mistake arose. I looked at Rin and she too seemed to be embarrassed. The way she hid behind the window frame indicated as such. I smirked.

"Well, well….Someone looks flustered," I remarked with satisfactory. I caught her in the act. She glared back at me.

"Will you stop being so ignorant?" she shouted.
