Hello all! I'm glad people actually like the story! Thanks for the reviews and follows and favorites! I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

The flashbacks kind of give you a history of the characters and why they're the way they are and stuff! Dings are hours and dinglets are minutes. I know it's weird, but when I wrote this it made sense!
Also, Drift is my OC. He's Irish, but hides his accent, because he hates where he's from because of his parents. He does everything he can to be different from them. He has dark brown hair, and grey eyes. He's 19, and he's very protective of the people he loves. He's willing to put them before himself, and he will do anything for them. He's a tough guy, but he has a soft spot for the people he cares about and animals.
Ire Isles=Basically Ireland.
Warning: There is some sex talk- not described, more of just hinted at. Sorry if you don't like it!

Chapter 2

As Len grabbed the door handle, Mr. Man's voice filled his head, No! Stop it! Not here, Len. Wait until you're in the next town. I really don't want to invade your privacy, but you know I can't help that. Please, go my son, be brave and don't worry about Meito. Protect Rin for us. Be back in about a week. I love you two. "Rin," he said breathlessly, it was so hard for him to stop, but he knew he had to. The look on Rin's face worried him, he really hoped she wouldn't get mad, "I'm sorry, Mr. Man said we shouldn't do that, um, here."

"Oh," she nodded, "That makes sense." She picked up the bag and headed towards the next town.

He walked up beside her, "You're not mad… are you?"

"Len, why would I be mad at you?" she smiled and placed her free hand in his, "I understand why we had to stop!"

"Okay good," he smiled and took the bag from her and she raised an eyebrow at him, "I should carry the bag Rin, Taito always said that a gentleman does everything a lady shouldn't have to," he kissed her nose.

She smiled and rolled her eyes, "Fine, but I was perfectly fine carrying it!" She was very independent, never wanting anyone to do anything for her, especially Len. Being much younger than him was hard for her, she still felt as though he saw her as a child because of their age difference. "That's the first time you made me feel that way, I felt it in a lot of places I'm not going to mention," she blushed.

He bit his lip, holding back a smile, "Wow Rin, horny much!?" he joked, which made her blush even more. Len thought she was so adorable when she blushed, then again, when wasn't she adorable? He smiled as he thought about her, ultimately making him blush.

She tried not to laugh as she thought of a comeback, "You're such a perv! I bet you thought of every place it hit!"

"You said it, not me," he laughed a little.

She smiled at her feet and then groaned as she realized how tired she was from walking, "How long do you think it's going to take to get to town?" she whined, "I'm tired and my feet hurt."

"Seriously Rin? We just started walking," he smirked, she was never one for walking long distances, or even short distances for that matter.

"When I was younger you wouldn't have complained, you would have carried me!"

"Exactly, but you're not seven anymore, you're seventeen!"

She groaned, "Can't you do that thing?" He looked at her and raised an eyebrow, confused; he could do a lot of things. "When you were in the room even though I locked you out! The poofy thingy!"

He laughed at her choice of words, The poofy thingy, she's too cute, he smiled and said, "Rin, I really don't know if I can do it with another person… I'm really surprised I can do it with just myself; it's extremely difficult."

"Pleasee," she whined, "My feet hurt!"

He couldn't tell Rin no, he just couldn't, so he caved, "Yes, I can try…" Not noticing, or maybe just not caring, about his worried tone, she grinned and hugged him. "The next town or to Akaito's shop?"

"The next town, I don't want you to get drain yourself of too much energy."

He nodded, "Grab on, Rin." She did so, and he pictured the forest that was just a few dinglets away from the next town. After making sure Rin's hand was in his, he flicked his wrist, and when he opened his eyes, they were in the forest.

"It worked!" she squealed with delight, thankful she didn't have to walk anymore. "You did it babe!"

Len was on his knees, and when he tried to get up, he collapsed from exhaustion, "I'm sleepy," he laughed quietly, "Maybe we shouldn't do that for a while… or ever again," he smiled at her.

"Oh!" Rin cried, "I'm so sorry Len! I didn't think you'd get hurt! This is all my fault!"

His eyes widened, "No! This isn't your fault, Rin, and I'm not hurt," he smiled, "Just a little tired."

"Want me to carry you?" she looked at him, he looked as if he was in a lot of pain as he gradually made his way to his feet. Rin felt awful, she didn't know this would happen, All cause my stupid feet hurt!

He shook his head once he was finally standing again, using a nearby tree to regain his balance, "Really, I'm fine," he said and began walking towards town, trying to ignore how dizzy he was. He was doing fine until he ran into a tree; he fell backwards, and thankfully Rin caught him. Wasn't that tree over there? He asked himself, confused. So maybe he wasn't okay, but he wouldn't let Rin know that.

"I really don't think you're fine, Len, just let me help…" she said softly as she grabbed his legs and back, attempting to hold him up bridal style.

"Rin," he whined as she began walking with him, "I don't like this, let me walk…"

She shook her head and continued walking, "Why are you so against this?"

"One, we forgot the bag, and two, I'm a twenty three year old man and I feel bad that my tiny girlfriend is struggling to carry me," he tried to squirm out of her arms, "Please stop, I can do this…"

"Fine," she put him on the ground and went back to get the bag.

"Thanks." He said and got up, managing to steady himself enough to walk.

"Are you sure you can do this?" she grabbed his hand as he nodded, "Well alright then."

Once they were out of the forest, Rin's eyes widened. She hadn't been to the city in years; a lot had changed. There were more buildings, things looked newer, and Rin had never seen anything like it. Who knew buildings could be made out of something other than wood? She was simply amazed. "You don't get out much, do ya blondie?" Len joked, while her hair was blond, that wasn't the reason he called her that. Akaito and Len had called Rin blondie ever since she was a child because of her ditzy actions and how she fir the stereotype to a T.

"Don't call me that," she rolled her eyes.

"What? You don't like it?" he teased and she punched him, "Ow," he pouted as he led her to the hotel, "I don't think I can go any further today…"

"But Lenn! It's too early to quit now!" she shouted, she didn't want to rest, she wanted to see her firey red headed big brother.

"Rin, I know you want to see your brother, but we have to scope out the town first. I sense that someone is here with powers like us is hiding here."

"We'll find him… or her, whichever," she giggled and then realized he said he sensed someone, "I thought you couldn't sense people with powers anymore?"

He thought for a moment, he hadn't the slightest clue as to why he could sense a presence of someone with powers, "Well… maybe after releasing all that energy, it came back to me," he shrugged, "If you could release yours, I'm sure you could see auras again."

"Len, you just might be right," she grinned, but then she thought about it, "But I don't know how to do that… How can I release it?"

"It'll come when you're ready," he smiled as they walked in through the doors, "But for right now, I'm sleeping!"

"Good day to you kind sir," said the man at the desk, "A room for the day I'm assuming?" Len nodded and he handed him some money, "Check out is at the tenth ding tomorrow morning," he said as he handed him the key, "Enjoy your stay."

"Thanks," Rin smiled and let Len lead her to their room. Once there, Len put the key in the lock and it opened, "It sure is… roomy," Rin said as they walked in.

"Oh please," Len chuckled, "They always give me this room, I fix it up real nice."

"You mean they know about your powers?" she whispered as she closed the door.

"Oh no, of course not! I just mind trick them into letting me have this one," he told her, "This always has been my favorite…"

"Oh yeah," she nodded like she knew he could do that to people, "But why is this your favorite?"

He smiled, "This was the room they gave us the night your mother died. When we started our journey together; the first night you told me you loved me and wanted to get married," he ruffled up her hair, thinking back to when she was a little girl.

"I said that?" she blushed.

"Every night when we laid down to go sleep, you would tell me that," he hugged her, "I never thought it would actually happen though."

"Well," she flipped her hair, "I was obviously a smart kid, so I knew we'd get together!" she stuck her tongue out at him. He flicked his wrist and pushed her down on something soft, "What is this?"

"Um, a bed?" he laughed and laid down next to her, "I told you I fix the place up nice."

"Len," she rolled to her side to meet his eyes, "I love you."

"I love you too," he kissed her, "I'm beginning to feel weak again, I'm gonna go to sleep."

"Okay," she smiled, "I hope you feel better soon."

He closed his eyes and almost instantly fell asleep, while Rin laid there and watched his chest rise and fall. She never knew why, but watching him breathe made her feel relaxed, and even though she wasn't tired, she ended up falling asleep as well.

Flashback

"Len?" said a seven year old Rin, "I'm tired, can we take a break from trying to find them?" Len had the power to sense the general area they were in, but it was sometimes inaccurate because he didn't have total control of his powers. They had been walking for what seemed like an eternity to Rin.

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired too," he looked up at her, they'd only been walking for two dings, but with Rin on his shoulders, it was a lot more exhausting. "A break sounds nice. There's a hotel up ahead… Do you think you can walk now?"

"Course Lenny," she giggled, "You can put me down," he lifted her up and off of his shoulders, and then gently sat her on the ground, "Better?"

He nodded and grabbed her hand, not wanting her to wander off like she usually did with Akaito, "Much better. You see that?" he pointed to a tall building, "That's where we'll stay." Rin nodded and they continued walking. Once inside, Len walked to the front desk and asked for a room for the night, and considering how late it was, the man said it was on the house and handed him a key. They walked up the stairs and tried to find the room number, when he spotted it, he led Rin to the door and opened it.

"Len!" Rin cried once they were inside, "I was supposed to take a bath tonight!"

"Then go take one," he told her and plopped down in the chair, which was the only piece of furniture in the room, No wonder it was on the house, there's not bed, he sighed.

"Mommy always helped me and I don't got my stuff!"

Len sighed and got to his feet, "Fine, I'll help you."

"Yay," she giggled and ran into the bathroom. A few dinglets passed and Len knocked on the door, "Come in!"

He walked in with his eyes closed, "What do you need help with?"

"My hair, you have to wash and rinse it," she said, and then added, "Oh, and starting it!"

"Okay," he put his hand out so he wouldn't run into anything as he made his way to the tub.

"Why is your eyes closed?"

"Because you don't have clothes on," he smirked.

She giggled a little, "Mama didn't close her eyes."

"Well," he smiled, "I'm not your mama."

"I know, but you don't has to close your eyes!"

He stepped on something, causing him to open his eyes, "Ouch," he walked quickly and tuned on the water, "There," he turned away as she got in.

"You need to wash my hair," she splashed him.

He rolled his eyes, he didn't want to see a naked seven year old, it just seemed wrong to him. She splashed him again when he didn't answer, "Okay Rin!" he had no choice. He turned around and only looked at her eyes. He tilted her head back and got her hair wet, and then flicked his wrist, making shampoo appear in his hand.

"How did you do that!?" she asked in amazement.

"Magic," he laughed and rubbed it on her head, he'd never given someone a bath before, it was awkward. He let the shampoo sit a little while and then rinsed it out.

"Len?" she smiled.

"Yeah Rin?"

"I love you, and I know I'm gonna marry you someday," she grabbed his cheeks and kissed him on the lips.

"Rin!" he staggered backwards, that was wrong on so many levels, "Why in the hell did you do that!?"

"Cause I love you," she said, and then gave him an odd look, "Was that bad?" she panicked, "Bad Rin, bad!" she started hitting herself in the head.

"Rin!" he grabbed her hand so she would stop, "It's not bad, I just wasn't expecting it… just, warn me next time, okay?" He laughed a little, he knew it meant nothing so why not just let her be happy? He also didn't want to hurt her feelings. She's just seven, he thought to himself, and we're practically siblings, it's fine!

"Okay," she smiled, "Do you love me?"

"What is it with you and love!?" he asked her, "You should be worried about toys, not boys!"

"Boys are fun! I need to wash now!"

He flicked his wrist and soap appeared next to her, "There," he said and then left and sat in the chair. "What is that kid's problem?" he whispered to himself. He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep.

About a hald ding later, Rin came out all dressed and ready for bed. When she saw Len asleep in the chair, she walked over and said, "Lenny, are you awake?" When he didn't reply, she got on his lap and curled into a ball, "Good night Len," she said and closed her eyes, "I love you."

End Flashback

Len woke up and his eyes instantly went to the chair from the dream, "Wow," she didn't remember all of that happening. He woke Rin up, "Hey, let's go."

She opened her eyes and saw Len smiling, "What is it?" she asked.

"I had a dream about the night we were here, you were so cute," he laughed.

"Aww! Yu should tell me what happened, I don't remember it at all." He told her the basics and she smiled, "You closed your eyes to give me a bath?"

He nodded, "I'm assuming I didn't want to see you naked," he laughed, "And I don't remember you going to sleep on me."

"I needed somewhere to sleep! I just can't believe I kissed you, it must have been really awkward!"

"Well," he started, "you continued doing it… You did it a lot actually. It finally stopped when you turned ten and went through the 'boys are icky' phase."

She covered her face with her hands, "I can't believe you allowed me to do that!"

"I didn't think it meant anything," he shrugged, "But when you started flirting with me again, I knew you were right all those years."

So we've technically been dating since I was seven?" she laughed, "Wow!"

"I guess so," he laughed as well, "You were a really adorable seven year old."

"Thanks, I'm sure you were an adorable thirteen year old. I just—"

He cut her off by kissing her. He did the same thing he did at their home, her knees trembled, her stomach fluttered, and she knew it was time. She got on top of him and he slipped her hands around her waist. Rin was the first to make a move, she tugged at his shirt. Once everything was off, he whispered, "You ready for this?" When she nodded, he flicked his wrist, making the lights dim, the blinds shut, and Rin's stomach flip.

Though Rin's heart was in it the whole time, her mind didn't register what was happening until they were completely dressed again. "Len… I can't believe we did that."

To Rin's surprise, he nodded, "I know what you mean…" when he saw the look on her face he shook his head, "It's not that I didn't like it, it's just… I don't know."

"I know that," Rin smiled, "I just don't know why it felt so… weird."

"I guess, we'll wait a while to do it again?"

"Are you sure? I mean, we both liked it, why stop?"

His eyes widened, "You did? I thought you didn't… that's why I stopped. I mean it still felt weird, but when you do that with the one you love, nothing else matters."

"You are like the sweetest guy ever. I don't deserve someone like you," she said and fell back on the bed.

"You're right," he fell next to her, "You deserve way better."

"See what I mean? You're like the best boyfriend ever, but you still tell me I can do better. And even if that was true, I'd never leave you."

"Were you trying to rhyme? Because you totally did," he kissed her nose, "And I really can't take people seriously when they rhyme."

"Shut up," she smiled mischievously, "You know what I can't take seriously?"

"Oh man, this is gonna hurt," he winced playfully and laughed.

"Silly blond men in tights," she laughed.

"So, I had that coming," he smiled and stood up, "I think we should go search for the person in hiding, they seem close."

"Okay!" She rolled out of bed, "Let's go!"

They put their shoes on and headed out. Len led Rin through the streets and worked his way through the crowds like he knew exactly where he was going, "They're definitely close," he stopped and looked around.

"What was that!?" she asked as she saw something dash by out of the corner of her eye.

"Where? What did you see?" he quickly turned around and looked in the direction Rin was.

"It was probably nothing," she shrugged.

"No," he shook his head, "It was definitely something," he kissed her and then said, "You need to wait here, don't move." She hugged him ad then he ran behind the building Rin saw the figure go behind.

She did as she was told until she heard all the shouting, "Len? Are you okay?" she asked as she ran to where he was, "What in the hell!? Len, what's happening!?" Two Len's were standing in front of her and she was so confused.

"Babe! It's okay! He's a shapeshifter," one of them said.

"You mean you are," she walked up to him and looked into his eyes, "You are definitely not my boyfriend."

"Dammit! Thanks a lot chick, now I've gotta go with you guys."

She furrowed her eyebrows, "Huh?"

"Me and Drift here made a bet that you couldn't tell which one of us was the real Len," he smiled, "He lost, so now he's part of the circus."

"What would you have done if you lost?"

"I leave him alone and act like I never saw him," he grabbed her hand, "But I knew you'd come through for me!"

"One question," Drift looked at her, "How'd you know?"

"First of all, Len never calls me babe in public, and your eyes were somewhat the same color, but I could tell they were off, but what really told me you weren't him is because there's no love in your eyes… like at all. Do you have a family?"

"Why don't you call her babe in public?" he asked, trying to avoid Rin's question.

He shrugged, "I just don't, I find it odd."

"How long have you been dating?"

"Well, we've been dating for three years, but we've been together since she was seven… Y'know, we've kissed a lot since then," he laughed. Len always told the new people a lot about himself so that they'd feel more comfortable around him, it almost always worked.

"Three years huh? And she was seven… You kissed her when she was seven!?"

Len scratched the back of his head, slightly embarrassed, "It's not like we used tongue… at that time," he winked, "Plus, she kissed me, I never kissed her. My lips were just always available."

"It's true," she smiled, "I've loved him for the longest time. He truly is the best," she hugged him.

"Don't expect me to be this open with you all the time… but I suppose I can answer your question, chick. I don't have a family, I was abandoned when I was five, I believe because I turned into a… bunny? Anyway, my parents freaked out and 'sent me away to live with me aunt' but in all actuality, they took me to the river and tried to drown me. Thankfully I turned into a fish and escaped. After that, I survived by shapeshifting and thieving. It's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it, the only problem is that my eyes never change all the way. That got me in trouble sometimes," Drift laughed, thinking back to all the times he got caught because of that.

"That's awful," Rin said sadly, "We'll definitely take care of you at the circus, it's actually pretty cool there. Not that you have a choice," she winked at him, "So how old are you? Also, switch back to your normal, not Len form."

"Course," he spun around and shifted into a slim, pale boy with white hair and one blue and one green eye, "I'm nineteen, and this is the real Drift," he held his hand out.

"Rin," she shook his hand and smiled.

"Rin, eh? Well, pleasure to meet you. Len, you be a lucky man with this girl, she's definitely a keeper. I still can't believe you're twenty three, you only look about seventeen."

"I could have dealt without that last sentence," he smirked, "but I'm aware she's amazing."

"You guys are too much, if anyone is amazing here it's you," she hugged Len, "You're always looking out for me."

Drift laughed, "Now ain't that be the cutest thing I've ever seen," he said, his accent coming through badly.

"Where'd you pick up that accent?" Len asked him, nobody he knew talked that way.

"I could ask you the same thing," he joked, "Well, if you must know, I grew up in Ire Isle. I can usually control it, but it slips through when I let my guard down."

"I see, well I grew up in the south and I moved here when I turned eleven. I dropped the accent for the most part, it's barely noticeable now… but trust me, it used to be really bad." He laughed, thinking back to when Akaito would make fun of him for it.

"Obviously," he laughed, "I can tell your girlfriend loves it."

She blushed, "How would you know?"

"I can read emotions and feelings too, you dig his voice, don't you?"

Rin smiled, "Aside from his personality and his eyes, that's what really turns me on."

Len blushed, "Really? And all this time I thought you didn't like it."

"The love you two have for each other is far greater than any love I have ever seen," he said, his accent slipping through again, "This damn accent is really getting on my nerves. I've never talked this much to somebody, so it's hard to control," he smirked.

"To tell you the truth, I think it's really cute," Rin smiled.

"Well thanks blondie, but I hate talking with it. It makes me sound like my parents, and I want absolutely nothing to do with them." He hated his parents so much, they made him the hateful person he was. It's not like he chose to hate everyone or not trust anyone, his parents trying to kill him did that.

"Alright," she smiled, "but I think you need something."

Drift raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

She smiled and walked up to him, and then hugged him, "Love." As she hugged him, something inside of him snapped. Something about Rin made him feel, odd. He didn't want to be the guy that hates everyone or a thief anymore. He simply wanted to be Drift; the caring, loving person he used to be. He hugged her back, and tears vegan forming in his eyes, he hadn't hugged anyone in a long time… it felt nice. "See, love is a good feeling."

"You're right," he smiled and wiped his eyes, "But I'm still not gonna talk with that damn accent. I still hate my parents," he smirked.

"That's okay," she smiled, "I know you've changed."

"How can you tell?"

She shrugged, "I just know."

"Well, I really needed that. Thank you," he smiled.

Though Len knew that Rin was his, he couldn't help but feel a ping of jealousy. He knew better than to say anything, so he just grabbed her hand and asked, "Is there anybody else like us here in town that you know of, Drift?"

He shook his head, "None that I know of."

"Strange, because I thought I sensed someone else," he shrugged, "I did just get this gift back, perhaps I'm just not used to it yet."

"Wait, you can sense people like us!?" Drift exclaimed, "That's how you found me?"

Len nodded, "That, and Rin saw you run past us," he smirked.

"How? Nobody has ever seen me when I turn transparent!"

He smiled, "Look like Mr. Man was right. You've helped me find and keep Drift, get here, and… yeah," he winked, "You've found your gift."

Rin shook her head, "I really didn't, I probably just got lucky and saw him. The only 'gift' I have is this." She did one of her contortions and Drift's jaw dropped.

"Holy shit! That's crazy!"

"No," Rin sighed and corrected him, "It's stupid."

"Rin!" Len exclaimed, "It is not stupid, do you know how many people can do what you do!? Not many, if any at all. I've never seen a girl as flexible as you, it's like you don't have bones! And you can see what nobody else can, and you even used to be able to see auras! Mr. Man said that nobody he knows has been able to do that! You're amazing, and if you continue to put yourself down I'm gonna go insane!" he shouted. Len hated it when Rin put herself down, and this was the final straw, he wasn't letting her tear herself down anymore.

What Len said made Rin really think about her abilities, and she realized he believed everything that he said was true; she still didn't believe she was special, she just felt bad for making Len so frustrated, "Len," she cried, "Thank you," she kissed him, but he pulled away and shook his head, "What?"

"I feel really dizzy again," he stumbled backwards and rammed into the building, knocking him out cold.

"What the hell!?" Drift exclaimed and ran towards him, "What's wrong with him?" he started smacking and shaking Len's face, attempting to wake him up, but it didn't work.

"Um… we kinda, sorta used a lot of his energy to get here. He's been kinda dizzy ever since," she said quietly as Drift picked Len up and picked him up bridal style, "What are you doing?"

"I'm not sure yet," he told her and started walking into a forest different from the one Len and Rin showed up in, "And how did you use so much energy?"

"He teleported us here," she caught up to him and walked by his side, "Where are we going?"

"I guess they weren't lying when they said big things come in small packages," he joked, "We're going to my house, and please don't laugh when we get there…"

She smiled slightly, "Why would I laugh?"

"Animals are quite the pranksters," is all he said until they got to his house, though Rin didn't laugh, she really wanted to. It was a tiny light pink cabin, with hot pink hearts all over it, "See what I mean?"

"It's very… pink," she said, trying not to smile.

"Go ahead and laugh," he sighed. She smiled, but didn't laugh, not wanting to be rude, "No way, it's not like you chose for it to look like this. Plus, I'm a nice person and I don't laugh at other's misfortunes," she winked.

"Good," he told her, "I stopped changing it back after about the tenth time they did it. Can you get the door?"

She nodded, and as she reached for the handled, she noticed it was in the shape of a heart, "Those silly beavers," she laughed and opened the door. Luckily the animals didn't mess up the inside like they did the outside. Sure it as messy, but at least it wasn't pink. "This is a nice and cozy little cabin," she smiled as she walked around all the tools and clothes on the floor.

"It was worse yesterday," he said as he put Len on the couch.

"How are you gonna wake him up?" she rushed to Len's side and grabbed hand.

Drift smirked, "I'll ask the rabbits to whip something up, they're exceptionally good tonic makers." Aside from shapeshifting, Drift could also talk to animals.

"Anything I can do to help?"

"Make sure Len stays alive while I'm gone?" he smiled.

She smirked, "Okay, Drift," she stuck her tongue out as he ran outside and off into the forest. "Don't worry Len, you'll be better in no time," she laid her head on his chest, just so she knew he was still breathing.

Flashback

"Hey kid!" said a thirteen year old Akaito, "Who are you?"

Len, who was eleven at the time, looked over at him and said, "I'm Len, who are you?" His southern accent made Akaito laugh.

"Let me guess, you're a hick from the south?" he mocked his accent.

He rolled his eyes and nodded, "Let me guess… you're an asshole?"

"Kid, you do not wanna get on my bad side," Akaito cocked his head and glared at him.

"I wouldn't try anything, my father is an officer," he smirked.

"Wow, I hate you already," Akaito said and walked away, he'd never been a big fan of the police because the police had never been a fan of him. Len flicked his wrist and Akaito tripped, "What the!?" he looked at his shoes, the laces were tied together, "How's you do that!?"

"I didn't do anything," he smirked.

"Rin!" he shouted, a few moments later a cute little girl with bright blond hair in pigtails and her cerulean blue eyes were wide came and stood by him, "Is he like us?" She looked Len over and then just stared at him, making him feel awkward, "Rin, answer!" Akaito shouted, getting annoyed at her oddness.

"He's like us!" she shouted back cheerfully, she'd never been one to get angry, especially with her brother.

"What!?" Len said and put his hand to his head and his jaw dropped, "You are like me!?"

"I'm Akaito," he said as he retied his laces and walked over to Len, "And this is my five year old sister Rin."

"Hiya," she grinned. Len thought she was an adorable little girl, "Can I go play now Akaito?"

"He nodded, "Course."

"Nice ta meetcha stranger," she grinned from ear to ear, she thought he was cute too, and then she ran back inside to play.

"She's weird, don't ask why because I haven't the slightest clue." He laughed and then asked, "So you're obviously from the south, what brought you up here?"

"My father got a job offer and he accepted," he told him, and then looked him over, "So what can you do?"

"What can I do?" Akaito laughed, "Well, I can control the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. It's actually a pretty awesome gift, what do you do?"

"Wow! Well, I am a magician that doesn't use any, like, fake tricks. When I make something disappear, it's really gone. And I can do this," he did some odd movement of his hand and fire appeared in the palm of his hand."

"Damn," Akaito raised an eyebrow, impressed, "Ask me for a demonstration!"

Len laughed, but played along, "Can I have a demonstration?"

"I thought you'd never ask," he joked, "Which element?"

"Air," he shrugged, that one seemed pretty cool.

"I was hoping you'd choose that one," he grinned evilly.

"Oh shit," Len's eyes widened as Akaito did some karate arm movements, an airball was forming in his hands. When he released it, it went right at Len, and when it hit him he flew up in the air screaming. He was so scared he nearly peed himself.

"Don't worry so much," Akaito laughed and did another move, making air circulate around Len and bring him down gently to the ground. "Wasn't that fun?" He grinned.

"Y-Yeah, totally," he said sarcastically as he laid on the ground, out of breath.

Akaito smiled as he did a move, making air come up from under Len, making him fly to his feet. Akaito steadied him by putting his arm around him, "I can tell we're going to be best friends!"

"This should be interesting," he smiled and put his arm around his new 'best friend.'

End Flashback

"You're sure this is gonna work?" Rin asked Drift as he held Len's mouth open and slowly poured the brown and green substance in.

A few moments later, Len's eyes fluttered open and he looked around. "Um, where am I?" he asked, "And why dies my head hurt!?" he yelled and grabbed his head, trying to stop the pain.

"Len, we're at Drift's house, and your head hurts because you slammed it into a wall when you passed out."

"Well isn't that wonderful," he smirked, and then scrunched up his face, "What did you put in my mouth!? It tastes like dirt!"

Drift laughed, "Well of course it does, it is a dirt tonic, the rabbits made it for you. Also, you had a dream, what was it about? You seemed so happy."

"It was about the day Akaito and I became best friends, and the day I met this goofball right here," he grabbed Rin's hand, "Also the day I got tossed up in the air like a ragdoll, I seriously though I was gonna die," he laughed. "Akaito was a funny kid."

"He tossed you in the air!?" Rin smiled, "With what?"

"His airball technique. And because I was so much smaller than I am now, I flew up really high."

"You smaller? Is that even possible?" Drift joked; Len was already super skinny, he didn't know how he could be any smaller and not break in half.

"Ha ha, very funny," Len said sarcastically.

"How old were all of us?"

"I was eleven, which means Akaito was thirteen… so that would've made you five, almost six. It was funny because when you saw me, and just stared. I forgot how odd you were as a child. You were still adorable though," he said and sat up, making his head hurt even more.

"Lay back down, Len," Rin told him, "I don't want you to pass out again."

"I'm fine," he said, and situated himself in a way that was semi-comfortable for his head.

She shook her head, "That's what you said last time and look where it got you."

"It got me in a hotel room with my girlfriend and some sleep. As well as other things I'd rather not discuss," he laughed a little.

She blushed, "While that may be true, it also landed you at Drift's house with a major headache.

"Also true, but I like the stuff I said way more than the stuff you said, so I win," he stuck his tongue out at her.

"Well so do I, but that doesn't mean the stuff I said didn't happen," she stuck her tongue out right back.

"You guys be the funniest lads I ever did meet," Drift laughed, not caring about his accent slipping.

"You're pretty funny yourself," Len smiled, "You actually remind me a lot of Akaito."

"He does, doesn't he?" Rin smiled, "I can't wait to see him!"

"Me neither!" Len smiled, "Too bad we can't see him today…"

"Why not?" Drift asked.

Len thought for a moment, "Good question." He didn't really know why they couldn't go.

"I know why," Rin rolled her eyes, "so Len doesn't almost die again!"

"I'm perfectly fine! Look!" he stood up, almost falling backwards, but managed to catch himself, "See!?"

"I see you wobbling and almost falling," she smirked.

Drift wanted to go, badly, "I could carry him," he suggested.

Rin shook her head, "He's against that one hundred percent!"

"Orrrrr," Len rolled his eyes, "I could walk like a normal person!"

"Funny," Rin said sarcastically, "What about the hotel room?"

He flicked his wrist, "What hotel room?" he held out the money he gave to the man at the front desk, "I don't recall getting a room," he winked.

"Well, that takes care of that!" Drift said anxiously, he really needed to get them out of town, "I'm really excited to meet the Akaito character, we should get going!" he said and got to his feet.

Suddenly, Len felt a presence very close to them, "Someone's here," he said as the door opened.

"Dammit!" Drift exclaimed, "I told you to stay away!" He shouted, making both Len and Rin very confused.

Chapter 2 is done! It's so hard to end it, because I never know where to stop! I guess this place is good though! I hope you all liked it! And for some reason, I've always imagined Len with a hot accent, so I figured why not a hint of southern, that's hot, right?;) Anyway, if you have any comments or suggestions feel free to tell me in the reviews!
