So here's the second chapter of this story. (Spoilers) There is a little drama in this part. I know. I'm just that evil.

Enjoy

Leon and Avanna Akita really went all out when they threw parties, especially when they threw a party for one of their daughters. The party's location was in the backyard of their very prestigious mansion. Their backyard was a huge lawn and, in the corner, their garden of flowers was breathtaking. Refined white tablecloths were on each table, and decorative floral arrangement was the center piece. Elegant canopies were there and the top caterers were serving the most delectable food anyone has ever tasted. They spared no expense for it. Everyone was dressed in fancy and rich attire.

Rin barely arrived on time and not a second later. She wore a simple orange summer dress with straps on her shoulders, white sandals on her feet, a small orange purse was around her shoulder, and her hair was straightened which gave it an appearance of a short bob. A beautiful silver cross necklace was hanged around her neck with matching earrings, a gift from her uncle. People would have said that she was under dressed, but she didn't care. She had been to a billion of these things and she was getting tired of having to dress up properly. Rin held the wrapped gift in her arm and tried to find her sister, Neru. And just like always, it wasn't that hard to find her.

"Riiiin!" Her sister, Neru, shrieked from across the lawn. Neru ran towards her at an unexplainable speed and began hugging Rin so tight, that hugging an anaconda may have been better.

"Uggh, it's nice to see you too, Neru." Rin managed to say the words coming out of her mouth, but she couldn't really since Neru was choking her to death. Neru was giggling with glee in her elaborate cocktail dress. Fashion was naturally Neru's greatest strength. She finally released Rin from her grasp as her fiancé came up to them.

"You remember Dell, right?" Neru wrapped her arms around her fiancé's waist as he wrapped on of his arm around her. Dell simply nodded her as she returned the gesture. Dell was a rich business man, and a known associate to their father, but it was difficult to talk to him because he was deaf. It was an extra that Neru knew sign language.

Neru then kept on talking about how great the party is, about how happy she was, how she wished Rin could find her perfect someone, and kept on babbling about nonsense. Rin didn't even get a chance to but in on what she thought. But she was used to it. Once Neru started talking, there was no way that she would shut up. It was a good thing that Dell couldn't hear. Neru's eyes darted to the present that Rin was holding and gasped.

"Is that for me?" Rin gave the present to her sister, or more like Neru snatched it from her grasp. She opened it without hesitation and gave a big smile. "Oh I love it, thank you Rin."

"Rinny-kins!" Avanna came out of no where and started pinching Rin's cheeks.

'Oh, no.' Rin thought

In an embarrassing baby voice, she went on with her treatment. "How's my precious little daughter doing?" Rin's face was flushed as she noticed that Dell and Neru were snickering at her.

"Mom I'm not a baby anymore, remember." She said in a weird mumbling voice. Avanna continued to pinch her cheeks. Rin got her estranged mother off of her by pushing her away.

But another problem came along, her father came up to her. Yes, Rin's father, Leon, was a straight up business man and dealt with everything like the whole world was his own company. The company was Akita Industries, specializing in distributing oil for the entire country, among other illegal things. His whole demeanor was always pensive and he hardly was with his family, because of his business. Rin wondered why he even had a family in the first place. He never gave her his approval for anything. Every time Rin had something important in her life, Leon would just shrug it off and said that he was busy. He treated Neru differently though, he was always there for her and making sure that she was spoiled.

Leon, like her mother, still treated Neru and Rin like they were still children. Yet, another thing that Rin was used to. Her parents never even saw them as full grown adults. Neru didn't seem to mind, she was the baby of the family, and she took full advantage of it. It's what Rin had to deal with everyday of her life. When he came, the entire family became serious. Neru and Dell quickly left, knowing that things were about to get tense.

"Rin," Her father's tone was sharp and solemn. "It's nice that you could make it, but you really should have come with a different choice of wardrobe," He gestured to the outfit that she was wearing. "I mean come on, how hard is it to ask your sister for fashion advice?" 'I can't believe he still treats me like this.' She thought. She held her head down and clenched her fist tightly. In a frustrated voice, she responds.

"Dad its fine, I still look okay."

Leon raised his voice a little higher. "'Okay', is not something my daughter should be called, you should look like a damn movie star every time you walk out your front door."

"Leon please don't make a scene in front of all these people," Avanna tried to take control of the situation, but as always she fails to. 'And she's still trying to make us look like the perfect family.' Rin just didn't understand why she tried, her father always made a scene everywhere they went.

"Dad-," Rin was about to tell him that she didn't need to look perfect. But her father cut her off before she could say it.

"Why don't you go see if your uncle Tonio is here," He said his brother's name with hate. "I'm sure he has those little Jinkies candies to give you." Leon turned around and walked away. Her mother went with him to try and talk some sense into him. Rin knew that she was going to fail again.

"Uncle Tonio stopped giving me those when I was twelve." Rin called out to him, but he just ignored her like he always did. She sighed. "Why does he always do this?" Rin asked herself.

A well known warm voice from behind answered her. "He's just jealous, because he isn't like his little brother, who is handsome, charismatic, lady's man, and did I forget handsome?" Rin turned around and gave a rare sincere smile to the man. "And he just wants the best for his little girl."

"Uncle Tonio!" Rin gave a grand hug to Tonio as he returned it with his old hearty laugh.

Rin's uncle had always been more of a father figure than her own. He was always there for her and made her smile, when her own father couldn't. His personality was just like any old bachelor. He was funny, eccentric, and sometimes a bit perverted. What he did for a living was a mystery. He never talked about worked and Rin noticed that he always carried a gun around, but he was crazy rich, way richer than her father could ever achieve. Why was that? They ended their hug when Tonio noticed a server with very ornate glasses of champagne passing by.

"You," Tonio grabbed two glasses and gave one to Rin. "Look like you could use a drink."

"Thanks," She took a small sip of her drink. Whenever Rin drank too much alcohol, she would get too wild so she had limited her drinking. She stared at the glass in her hand. Rin was still upset about the encounter with her father. "What was it that made my father like this? The man doesn't seem like he could have any type of fun." Rin turned her head to see her parents silently fighting at the corner of the backyard. Tonio looked in the same direction where Rin was looking.

"My best guess is family. Word of advice Rin, don't get married." Rin looked back at Tonio and watch as he took a big drink from his glass. She had expected that he would say those words to her someday. Tonio had always been afraid of marriage and he never committed to any relationship. "Marriage screws you up to much, turns you into someone different."

"Is that why you're still single?"

Tonio nodded his head. Something than caught his attention and he than gave a wide devilish grinned. "Speaking of staying single, aren't those your friends, Miku and Luka."

He pointed at the girl with teal hair and the girl with pink sitting at one of the tables. Miku and Luka had been best friends with Rin since high school. Their parents were of wealthy class, but, like Rin, they wanted to earn money themselves. They even were coworkers with her, Luka being the editor in chief and Miku as the receptionist.

Rin gave him a stretched yeah, and she wondered why he was staring at them like he was so she asks.

"Why are you staring at them like that?"

"Because there was something I've always wanted to do," Tonio mischievously rubbed his hands together. He turned his head back to her. "I want to try out the 'Tonio' on them." Rin face turned into anger. Oh, she knew what the 'Tonio' was, all to well. She had witnessed it when he tried it on foreign women while on vacation with him. Let's just say that he never returned until the next day.

"Uncle Tonio don't you dare!" Rin couldn't let him try it on her friends. They weren't even single. She knew that they would fall for his tricks and ruined their own lives. Rin had to save them.

"Too late." After that Tonio wasn't even by Rin's side. He dashed away and headed in the direction of the poor girls.

"Oh, no you don't!" Rin ran after him with the champagne still in hand. She chased him around the entire party, but he was too fast for her to catch him. 'For a forty-four year old, he sure does run fast.' Rin thought.

Out of nowhere, a piece of white cloth, that just happened to be there, was in front of Rin's path. Her heel had gotten caught of it which caused her to slip. Rin was about to crash forward, but she was able to catch herself before the impact. Unfortunately for her, her drink had spilled on someone's back. Rin gasped at the scene.

"I am so sorry," Rin came up to the man to give him a formal apology, but something about him gave her a feeling of intimidation. So she took a step back. The man turned around and gave Rin a wild smile. Rin knew he looked familiar and she was right. It was the man from the store. She quickly changed her expression into annoyance. "Oh, it's you," His expression didn't seem to be angry, instead he looked sort of relief. Rin didn't know why, but she didn't care. She crossed her arms as she finished her sentence. "Well in that case I'm not sorry."

"It's nice to see you again," The strange man came closer to her to close the gap between them. "Rin Akita."

Rin stared back at him in shock. Just how did this man know her name? Did Rin meet him before the incident? She had been known to be forgetful. Who was this guy?

Yayyy! Rin meets Len again! But that doesn't mean that there's still isn't going to be troubles. Stay tune for the next chapter. Reviews Pleazz.

A/N: I made up the part about Jinkies candies. Those don't exist, even though they should.
