Ah What a Wonderful Cat Life!
Rin's P.O.V
I hadn't forgotten the look on his face. He was sad, truly sad. My heart felt as if breaking in two. He turned and walked away from the window after engaging in another of our arguments. Well, what was at least, going to be an argument. But it wasn't anything that hasn't stopped us before! Though, this time… It was.
FLASHBACK-
"Len! You haven't gotten what I meant! You were stupid to go and get yourself hurt! I'm not worth that!" I screamed at him.
"Rin! I made a mistake I'm sor-"
"You were an idiot for that! You could've hurt yourself! Why are you like this so much, just so… so… ignorant!"
I hit him, hard. His widened eyes stared back at me in disbelief. Len's cheek grew a deep shade of bruising red. I began to cry. He was utterly senseless, but he still had feelings. How could I be so oblivious to them?
It didn't seem to matter anyway… his bewildered expression soon turned to just a melancholic shattering.
"I'm not putting up with this," he said with a saddened tone.
I felt that deep sense of regret inside me. What had I done? It has never turned like this on me before!
"Wh-what?" I stuttered through my tears.
"I'm done," he replied bluntly.
My hand rose to my chest with hesitation. Len, he acted so different from usual. The air grew tense. I started to breathe heavier. My hands started to shake in fear. What was going on with me tonight?
"I don't understand… I try so hard Rin. So hard to show you, tell you how much I care for you. And still all I get in return is this. A selfish, un-caring, ungrateful princess who just cannot listen," he stated angrily.
"L-le-"
"I just can't take all the shouting, all the emotion. Rin, you chose. Do you want me, or do you rather want yourself? Good day my princess."
He bowed to me in mock. I blushed, though I knew it was an insult. A rush of wind blew. His golden hair soon became distant. I reached for it. I reached so hard for that gold gleam. But it was too late, he was gone.
"Len, please don't g-go," I cried, lowering my head. "I'm sorry…I-I'm s-sorry…"
END OF FLASHBACK~~~~
I clutched my pillow. The pillow was soaked in tears. It was a dream, just a distant dream. That was what I told myself. A dream of a boy, the boy that actually listened, the boy who actually smiled around me for the reasons I wanted. He was funny too. Why did I have to be so sightless? He was there and I let him go!
Rain pattered lightly outside, as it had been doing every night in the November's winter. The bare cherry blossom trees caressed so gently by the wind, rustled in the breeze. Quiet pitter-patter of drops was louder as the time slowly passed by. I never felt so alone in my life. I wasn't sure what my choice was, I didn't exactly know if I wanted him back. He would only bug me about leaving my house… so what was the point?
Len's P.O.V
I walked down the empty alleyway that usually kept me company when I was alone. Nighttime was said to bring scary creatures, that's what all the older cat men told me. I never believed them of course. Personally I liked the night. It was mysterious, adventurous; full of questions that may never be answered. That's not how Rin liked it. She was more of a daytime kitten. Adored the light, she said it made her feel safe. That was what I wanted, was to make her feel safe.
"Hey little kitten, what are you up to this time?" A man's voice called out from behind me. I stopped, familiar to the voice.
"Ne? Kaito *onii-chan!" I called back happily.
A tall blue haired cat man exited the shadows, revealing himself to me. I smiled. Kaito was my older brother, mostly. We weren't related, but since my mother passed away, he had been there for me, no matter what happened. He watched over me like a responsible sibling should. I was truly grateful, for he was the only one who took me in. Otherwise, someone probably would've killed me over a stolen loaf of bread.
"Len? What happened? I heard about the fight with Honne and I.."
"I don't want to say…" I interrupted irritably. That was a mistake, a miserable mistake that brought me to the line of loosing the one I love most. Rin.
"Len, are you sure? I mean I am very concerned and I want too…" he started again.
"No! This conversation is over!" I shouted.
Kaito grabbed my shoulders. This meant buissness. "What is going on with you? You're acting completely abnormal!" he shouted at me as he shook me back and forth vigorously.
"N-nothing…"I muttered. "I don't want to talk about it…"
Those dark blue eyes studied me. I smacked his hands away and without hesitation he clenched my hand next to my head. "Stop acting like this! Tell me what's going on!"
I paused. There was a long silence between us. I dare not look up to him. Kaito shook me again. "Please, tell me… I can't bear to have you angry again."
Those words made me look up into his eyes. I began to cry. All I could think about was Rin, Rin, Rin… her smile, her voice…. All of her just wouldn't leave my mind. Then I felt arms embrace me in a hug. Kaito bent lower to reach my height. I sighed shakily.
"K-kaito… I miss her… I miss mother… I want her back, she would be able to help me now.." I whispered weakly. "I miss her…."
"I know you do Len. I know," Kaito comforted, though he knew, that wasn't all the little boy had to say...
