First of all, I'm going to apologize for not updating in 16 days. I started school and stuff, so I'm all like, "NO...HOMEWORK...MUST UPDATE." and chizz. So, I'm here with the third chapter of The Challenge. I hope you love it. I wrote this chapter in school on 3 pieces of paper, and I'm transferring it over. So I wrote this when I was BORED OUT OF MY MIND. If you don't like it, I'll just have to work harder. ^^ You might want to read back to the chapter before to refresh your memory, because I went straight into the third chapter playing off of the second one. :) So you might be a bit confused and stuff. :D SHIT IS ABOUT TO GO DOWN. ;o

Len yawned and sleepily opened his eyes. He instantly recognized his room and sighed. He thought back, for a second. What was he doing before? He remembered a little bit.

"Your ankle?" Len asked not hinting a scent of concern adjusting Gumi on his back.

Gumi looked around, "Oh, me...it's fine. Take me home, please."

Len sighed, "You can come to my apartment. It's not far. I'll take care of it, before it starts swelling."

"Do I have a choice?"

"Not really."

Gumi groaned and started complaining.

After that, it was a big blur. Len got out of the bed and went into the kitchen. His head filling itself with dumb, idiotic questions. Where'd Gumi go? Did Miku pick her up? Did he fix her ankle? Len shook his head and decided he'd try to forget about it. Five minutes of standing in front of the fridge passed and he couldn't shake her out. As much as he tried, he couldn't shake that weird feeling of her name of her name out of his head. Why did he worry about her so much?

"Len...kun..." an eerie voice echoed throughout the house sending a chill down his back.

Len looked around with eyes wide open. What was that...?

"Len~" the voice seemed to be teasing him now, and he rolled his eyes.

"Boo!" the green-haired girl yelled behind him giggling like an elementary kid.

"What are you? Five?" Len said not even flinching at her cute boo, "Don't be stupid."

I remember now. That baka fell asleep in the guest room, and didn't wake up even after I moved her from out of my bed. Making me work... Len thought angrily opening the fridge and pulling out the milk.

"What're you thinking about creep?" she said moving out of the way so he could get to the cabinet behind them.

As soon as Len got the cereal out, he slammed it on the counter, "Who're you calling creep, baka?! You're in my debt." He said smirking devilishly.

Gumi's eye twitched, Len chuckled darkly. She was getting quite scared, good.

He decided to take it a step further, "Maybe with your body?" Len suggested and laughed as he could feel the heat radiating off of Gumi's face.

"HENTAI!*" she yelled running away.

In my house, and running away from me where's her manners? Unconsciously he followed her to the guest room and opened the door.

Oomph.

Len's face twisted up a gave her a nasty look as soon as that stupid pillow fell off his face. Gumi suddenly turned to stone.

"You...little!" Len growled and tackled her**.

Laughter suddenly erupted from Gumi as Len started to tickle her.

"O-Ow! I-It hurts!" Gumi said between gasp.

Len's face didn't help, his was a bit scary, like he was going to tickle her until she died or fainted. Whatever came first?

As her short gasps became soundless giggles, Gumi pushed Len's hands away with the little strength she had left. She took a big breath relieved she has survived. When Gumi finally caught her breath, she looked at Len who was on top of her, staring quite intently. Gumi looked away slightly blushing.

Len kept in the evil laugh, I'm going to win. No doubt.

"Get off, you're heavy!" Gumi mumbled trying to play it off.

Len grinned, "Hm? I can't hear you." Len bent down closer so that their foreheads met.

Gumi gulped and looked at Len straight in the eye, "Get off, Bastard." she said sternly this time, her eyes turned into daggers trying to strike down his confidence.

He smirked and laughed eerily, "Baka, remember who's on top of who." he imagined she was probably thinking, "I won't lose easily!"

Gumi still had the look in her eyes. Why did she block herself up like that? More importantly, why did she block herself from him? She was innocently falling in love with Len and he knew it. He knew it well. He definitely would push her forward. He had to win, only for one reason, because he hated losing. Losing to Gumi, Len couldn't even think about it. No, he absolutely hated even mentioning it in his brain.

Then suddenly Len confused himself for a moment. He was getting way too far in. She was in his train of thought way too much. This bothered him a lot. He got up and looked at Gumi who was just as confused as he was, just showing it.

"You got to go, I have company soon." Len said with a straight face. It was a lie. He honestly just needed her to go.

"What?"

"Your ears broken? Get. Out."

"Len, what's your problem, you're acting like a true jackass."

Len frowned, "God, stop being so whiny. Get. Out."

Gumi's face went down and she nodded, "Thanks for the help, Len..." she said walking toward the door of the apartment.

"Gumi, you're mad."

Gumi looked back at Len with slight tears in her eyes, "You. Are. An. asshole, Len! Yesterday, I thought you were somewhat different, but today...you're back to being such a fucking bastard!" she yelled.

Suddenly, the door opened there was a blonde girl at the door and her face lit up like a Christmas tree at the annoyed-faced Len.

"LEN~!" she yelled knocking over Gumi and glomping Len.

"Rin, not now." Len said pushing her off faking the princely smile.

Len walked to the Gumi on the ground and held his hand out, "Come on, doggie. I'll treat you."

Gumi spit on his hand, "Leave me alone, don't you have a slut to attend to?" she asked as she got up dusted herself off and left.***

I think I might have hurt the puppy's feelings. Eh, there's really bad feeling in my stomach. They call this guilt, right? ****

"Who was that, Onii-chan?" she said happily.

"My dog, she's trying to run away."

"Why don't you go catch her?"

"She'll come back, probably."

"...?" Nii-chan looks sad. *****

And Feelings Get Hurt!

** ON A BED, OF COURSE! D:

*** If Len-kun said all that shit to you, wouldn't you be WAYY PISSED OFF.

**** Well, he has to feel some remorse. Come on people, DON'T FEEL BAD FOR LEN. D: Actually, I didn't like Len's reaction to Gumi! D: Just because he was all confused and shit he decided to be mean to her!

***** This was in Rin's thoughts, because I thought it would be a nice ending to the bad/sad ending of the chapter.

Thanks for Reading!~ =3

I love reading all the amazing the reviews I get, lovelies!

Please keep reading and enjoying my story. If you start hating it, I want to you tell me. I don't want you just to stop reading, because of one sentence or one line or one of their emotions. I want a reason, so hopefully if the other viewers were feeling the same I can fix it.

I mentioned Rin in the previous chapter with Miku and her magic book! So, I decided Gumi needed a female challenge, and a little sadness. Once they realize their feelings I'm gonna fan girl my heart out. =D Wait until then! I promise that happiness will be in the future! If stuff like this didn't happen you'd be so bored. So pull through the hatred for Len!

For reading all of this! I'll give you a little surprise! Len and Rin aren't blood-related. So, they can get married. The reason Miku's book didn't have her in as a sister! MWHAHAHAHA! I JUST BLEW YOUR MIND. Moar shit going down next chapter! I apologize for any grammar mishaps by the way!

Thanks for reading!
