Shrimpy: First thing I would like to apologize for is the grammar/spelling mistakes you may find. That's what I get for using a kindle...

Second thing is that I apologize to those who were put off by the warnings. I said that it was rated T for paranoia and caution, but the thing is that I'm so paranoid that I didn't take the blood from chapter three into the consideration. I can sometimes barely tell the difference.

Third this is that awesome dt sort of got it right with Haku. I'm not telling you what you got right, though. Wait some time for a certain woman to slip up. (Hint: I am not her, and neither is Luka.)

Len's POV

That was the moment that I didn't care. I didn't care that I didn't know the girl. I didn't even care what was going on. I thought she was having a panic attack. I didn't know what those looked like at the time, so I was perfectly okay with doing what I did.

The problem with me and mental instability is that I compare everything to one, big, endless nightmare. So I thought about what my parents would do when Rin had nightmares.

All that came to mind was a hug.

I'm pretty sure stupidity runs through my family. My Dad once pressed his entire hand on a hot grill because he forgot it was hot. The following year, I did the EXACT SAME THING. Rin almost did, but I suppose Dad wasn't about to let the cycle continue. He ended up burning his hand again.

Thinking that it was a really bad idea, I was surprised that the shivering girl in my arms thanked me. After that, she dozed of. At first I thought she was just in shock, then she went limp and I thought she was dead. Then-ta da-she used me like a pillow and slipped into a sleeping position.

I guess it was pretty comfortable for her, but I didn't move for about a half hour. And after that she started to move.

She looked up at me for a second. Her eyes were so pretty...bright, vivid teal that sparkled even in the dim light.

Then I was forced to the ground; she was on top of me scanning my face for...something to say? Her brow was knit together and she seemed confused.

At first I didn't even notice that she was sitting on me. What did the trick was how light she was, and how easily I could have pushed her off. But what I had observed told me she was fragile, easily broken. So I didn't.

"Uh...get off me..." I said. I looked up at her and tried to squirm away. Dammit...I couldn't help but be mesmerized by her eyes.

"Who are you?" She demanded. Her voice was soft and light, and I thought I heard her stutter. That snapped me out of the trance and I repeated myself. "Get off of me, please," I said. She shook her head. "Answer me. Who are you?" "I'm Len Kagamine," I said, "and this is no way to carry out a conversation. I'm getting pretty uncomfortable down here." I tried to frown, but it didn't work very well. I'm not used to it.

"..." all she did was stare at me. I could tell she didn't understand something. "May I know your name?" I asked. Temporarily, I forgot where I was. "Hatsune Miku," she muttered. I smiled. "Miku? That's a really pretty name..." My smile faded easily. I sat up abruptly and she hit the floor. "Oh! I'm sorry. It's just...I heard other people talk about you, and I've actually been meaning to talk to you myself and see what all the ruckus is about. They won't tell me." I scratched the back of my head, wondering if I made the right choice by asking. She stood up, her eyes clouded with sadness.

"If you want to know what's so bad, you're going to have to stay away from me." I cocked my head. "Is it really something worth knowing?" Her eyes snapped to me and I jumped. "If I have to stay away from you just to find out, it really doesn't seem worth it. Even if Bruno were in your part of this situation I wouldn't want to know," I explained. Her eyes widened. "Who's paying you to do this?" She snapped. I thought I made out a faint crack in her voice. "Huh? What do you mean?" I furrowed my brow. I felt really bad for this girl.

"No one in their right mind would bother me on their own," she cried, "who's paying you?"

"No one," I said honestly. "I heard someone playing the piano. I thought Kasane Sensei had the only working piano, so I decided to investigate. Then you noticed me, ran away and started screaming. So I followed you and..." I felt warmth creep up on my face. I didn't exactly want to tell her what I did to calm her down, considering I didn't know her.

"If no one is paying you, then you really are clueless," she said. "Stay away from me, Len Kagamine. I'm not safe." "I'd prefer you just call me Len. And why aren't you safe?" I asked. She sighed. "For reasons." "I understand you don't want to talk about it, but I've been dealing with the mystery crap all day. I'm kind of going crazy." I cupped my chin in my hands. "You're a fool!" She looked at me and tried to draw some sort of answer from me.

"I'm mentally unstable. I cannot feel emotions and I get panic attacks. Nightmares that go on for days. The one thing I don't understand is how this one...ended so quickly..." she lifted up her hands. "Hey, calm down. I'm sorry I forced you to answer me," I said. "I should've kept my mouth shut." "I'm sorry I pinned you to the floor," she said. "You didn't exactly pin me, seeing as how I got you off just like that," I replied, shrugging. "So you'd be fine if I did it again?" My face burned up again. "No!"

I thought, for a second, that I saw a smile grace her pale lips.
