Installment 4: The Third Delivery

Kagome was suspicious. Miku and Rin were acting differently after the breakfast incident the other day. Instead of being loud and persistent for her attention and closeness as Kagome was slowly getting accustomed to, they acted quiet and reserved like Len did. They spoke in soft tones and started sleeping together in the guest room, leaving the spot by her side for Len. In addition to that, both girls would do small tasks for her like make snacks when she was studying and draw her bath when she was done. In all honesty, the new behavior was beginning to annoy her, even more so than their usual antics. In fact, Kagome almost missed the way they would force themselves on her and cling to her. The keyword of that sentence being "almost".

'Are those two up to something?' Kagome thought before turning her attention back to her geometry book, trying to remember where they left off the last time she was in class.

A soft knock at her bedroom door broke her concentration.

"May I come in? I made you some tea and onigiri, Kagome-sama," Rin said from behind the door.

"Come in," Kagome instructed.

Rin entered her room holding a tray with two chawan filled with green tea, a plate of onigiri, and a set of napkins. Over her usual outfit, she wore a knee length, white apron trimmed in pink. Kagome watched as the girl quietly set the tray down on her dresser.

"Rin-chan, can I tell you something?" Kagome asked.

Rin immediately stiffened before facing Kagome and bowing low at her waist.

"Don't be mad at me! I've been trying really hard!" she exclaimed. Kagome's eyes softened and she sighed.

'So that's what this is about. I didn't mean to make her feel so awful,' she thought guiltily.

"I know you have," Kagome stated, "but I wanted to let you know that you don't have to."

"But you like Len so much more than me!" Rin protested, lightly stomping her foot on the floor.

Kagome placed an affectionate hand on Rin's shoulder and brought the girl closer to her.

"All you need to do is be yourself," she assured her with a smile, "You may annoy me, but that doesn't mean I want you to change who you are and start acting like Len-kun. All I want is for you to be Rin-chan. Can you do that for me?"

"Hai, Kagome-sama!" Rin joyfully shouted.

She threw herself at Kagome's abdomen and happily nuzzled her head against her breasts. Kagome's eyebrow twitched, but she fought the urge to push Rin away from her. After all, this was what she wanted…sort of.

Luckily for her, the doorbell rang and Nodoka called her to answer it. Kagome went downstairs with Rin still attached to her waist and answered the front door. A delivery man was waiting for her with another human-sized crate.

'Why am I not surprised?' Kagome thought dryly.

"Higurashi Kagome?" he said and held out a clipboard, "I need your signature or seal please."

Kagome took the clipboard and quickly jotted down her signature. The delivery man bowed before leaving the residence.

"So which one is it this time?" Kagome asked.

Rin shrugged her shoulders with her arms still wrapped securely around Kagome's waist. The lid of the crate was pushed out from the inside by a blue-haired male with a gentle smile and slightly hooded blue eyes. He was visibly older than the other Vocaloids, appearing close to Kagome's age. He walked to Kagome, ignoring Rin's enraged glare, and took the stunned girl's hand in his. He raised it to his lips and placed a soft kiss on her pale skin.

"Hello, Mistress," he said in a low drawl, enjoying the blush that stretched across Kagome's cheeks, "I am Kaito, and I am yours."

Kagome nearly fainted on the spot.

-O0o0O-

punkish furball – Looks like there's a new contender for Kagome's affections. It'll be shota appeal vs. bishōnen appeal! XD
