Neko: Hi…it's Neko here. Koneko's over somewhere since you reviewers keep reminding her that she is sort of basing the story on Black Butler. She apologises for it, but said that the story will be continuing in the direction that she intended it to go. But if it begins to sound too much like Black Butler, you have the right to tell her and she will try and change the plot around to make it go in the opposite direction. She doesn't want to drop this story in fact she said it was her favorite and she spends most of her daily time working on it just for you guys. So just give a shout if anyhting turns Black Butlery. And no, to anyone who thinks that Len is taking the place of Sebastian. Sebas-chan is irriplacible.

Anyway…now that that was over.

Characters Introduced Today: Haku

Warning: N/A

Author's Notes: The author is taking a break today!

MaxJacksonCullengirl: No, Ritsu will not be Grell because Grell (along with Undertaker) is irriplacible as well. But anyway, thank you for saying that this has its own unique Vocaoid story, Koneko really appreciates it. If only you hadn't said anything about Black Butler…

Lala-Rin-Len: Koneko growled at you when she read the Black Butler comment again./sigh/ Really, she's getting annoyed with it. But she laughed when you said that Rin was like Ciel and she said, "No one can be like Ciel!" And as for that anime, you actaully provoked my older sister and now she wants to watch it. So there's a possiblity that there might be a one shot made for Gosick.

CluelessLeaf: Koneko thanks you, first of all, for reviewing every chapter so far(execpt chapter one. No one reviews chapter one's anymore…)! And like before, Koneko got mad since you said it sounded like Black Butler. Only this time, she hit a wall. Anyway! Yes, just for some reviewers, Rin called Len 'dog'! And you're freaking phsycic! You knew where the mark was! Amazing! "Don't think those thought just because Rin can control Len like that!" Is what Koneko says to you.

Dislaimer: Screw you, disclaimer…-throws knife at it-

Len stared at his sister with hatred. "You…you're using me!"

"No, I'm not," Rin replied. She smiled and lowered her hand. The glow faded and the pressure on Len seemed to fade away with it. "From now on, don't do things without me telling you to. It's only going to get me madder."

Len said nothing, but only watched as she got into her bed. "Tomorrow we'll go find this Haku woman and ask her some questions. For now…" her face flushed a little as she asked, "Can you stay there? And sleep with me until morning?"

"Master…" Len smiled. He knew that she would eventually warm up to him, but he also knew that she had already fogiven him. "Of course."

He stood at the foot of her bed, watching her breathe slowly. He could only think of the wonderous dreams she would be having as he took a seat at the foot of her bed, and slowly drifted off into his own dreams.

"This is boring."

"And what do you want me to do about it?"

"Do something to entertain me!"

"Nothing I do entertains you!"

"Not true!"

Len just sighed. He hated the fact that he had to walk with her across the town to find a small shack where that Haku person lived. He didn't know just how long they have walked, but it felt like forever. And the house was located on the outskirts of the whole village. He doubted that they were anywhere near close.

He felt a tug on the back of his jacket. He hummed in response not turning around. "I'm tired."

"You think I'm not?" Len complained back.

"Carry me, Dog!" Rin said happily.

Len stopped and his sister bumped into his back. He turned around. "Say one more word," he said with a fake smile, "and I'll leave you here, dear older sister."

Rin pouted. "But you're supposed to do whatever I ask!"

Len walked ahead. "Whatever you command!"

Rin ran up behind him and without thinking wrapped her arms around his waist. She complained, "Len, do something!"

He didn't answer, just continued walking with the strain of Rin holding on. Please, he thought. Let us get there soon…

As Len knocked on the door, he glanced down at the older blond that was leaning against him, staring at a fluttering butterfly. He didn't find it odd that he was younger yet taller, but liked to tease her about that issue too. The door slowly opened to show a woman with silver hair and red eyes, just the same hue as Dell's. "Miss Haku Yowane?" Len asked.

"Yes, that's me. Is that…?" she looked at the lazy teenager staring into space. "Lady Rin?"

The young blond focused and stared at the older woman. "Miss Haku, we need to ask you some questions."

"Ah yes," Haku motioned for them to come in. "Please, enter."

Len stared at Rin as she casually walked in. "She needs to teach me how to stare into space and get back to reality that fast…" he mumbled, and followed.

"I'm sorry it isn't too clean," the woman apologized as she picked up a few items that lay astray on the floor. "I live alone, and haven't been able to organize at all."

"It's alright," Rin assured, putting a hand up. "After all, it's not like we're here to inspect for cleanliness."

Haku stared at the blond. "What brings the daughter of an old family friend to my home?"

Rin walked over to the small dining table and sat down in a chair. "Your brother, Dell. We found something interesting about him. And—"

"If it is about the death of your family I know," Haku admitted sadly, causing Rin to gasp and look up at her. "I didn't have any major part of it, but I knew. That is also what I want to talk to you about."

"You know that…that Dell murdered my parents?"

Haku only nodded, sending Rin on edge. Her eyes widened. So many thoughts ran through her head. "Why didn't you get in contact with me and tell me? Why did I have to find out on my own?"

"I need to speak with you about something else," Haku interuppted. "From what I heard, whenever you are spoken to about your old house you seem to change the subject. I think I found out why."

Rin clenched her fists under the table and looked down. "It's because I don't want to—"

"You're running away."

Rin looked up at the older woman in shock. "You can't stand to hear about anything that happened in the past so you run away from it by going to a different topic. You're trying your hardest to run away from your past, so that's why you forgot about it."

Rin's whole body started to shake as she stared into the red eyes of the Yowane woman. Tears slowly made their way into her eyes as she exclaimed, "That's not it! No!"

Haku didn't respond as the tears made their way down the young blond's cheeks, startling Len. "That's not it at all!" Rin buried her face in her hands. "I just…can't remember! It's not that I don't want to! I just…just…"

"Admit it," Haku said, towering over the head of the Kagamines. "You hired your own brother to become your butler. You can't remember anything about your past. You don't want to resolve this problem with anyone."

Rin didn't look at her. "I…"

Haku listened patiently.

Rin stood up, knocking the chair to the ground. "I can't remember and I won't!"

As Rin walked down the hallway back at her mansion, she strolled past Teto, who said, "Miss Haku said something to you, didn't she?"

Rin stopped. "Did you admit that you actually—"

"Don't," Rin commanded.

"You have been acting different. You haven't been even looking at us since you came home," Teto commented. "We were all worried."

"I don't need pity," Rin said quietly as she continued to walk down the hallway and into her room, slowly closing the door behind her. She slid down until she was sitting on the ground, folding her arms over her knees and burrying her face. She took a deep breath, and could feel the tears piling in her eyes.

"Master," she heard a voice call and she looked up. Len sat at the foot of her bed, looking at her sadly. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she replied, wiping the tears off with her sleeve.

Len looked at the ceiling. He sighed, "Our lives were and are hard. We had to go through hell just to find each other, we're told that an old friend of our parents had burned the old manor down, and now, you keep getting bullied all because you keep all your feelings bottled up. We're never going to get a break—"

His words were cut short when two slender arms wrapped around him, bringing the butler into a hug. Tears slipped down her face as she sobbed into his neck, while he slowly brought his arms around her, returning the friendly gesture. He felt like an older sibling all of a sudden, caring for a younger after a bully gets to them.

"We're only kids…" Len said sadly.

"K-kids," Rin repeated.

Done. Koneko says that her email is open, and she's decided that listening to pms wouldn't be that bad of an idea either.

Koneko's plea: ArAndArForKonekoAndNekoChan?
