Chapter 6

"Okay! First game, winner is Akita and Oshiro. Next up, Hatsune and Kamui versus the Kagamines. Come up now." The teacher announced to my horror. Darn, Gakupo's going to know how clumsy I am!

"Rin! Come here babe." Len called, smiling at me. Babe???!!

"Shut up, I ain't your sweetheart. Save that for Miku." I hissed.

He grinned at me, mockingly. "Jealous much Rin??" He laughed evilly, "and by the way, the babe name? I wasn't referring to the endearment; I was referring to the movie. You know, the pig story??" He laughed again.

"Mr. and Miss Kagamine! Stop fighting or else you two will fail." The teacher threatened us and announced. "Game Two will now begin." He called both teams for the tossing of coin. "Kagamine, heads or tails?" He asked. "Heads!" "Tails!" We both answered at eh same time.

"What's it gonna be?? Heads or Tails??" Miku complained.

I looked at him and as if reaching an understanding, we replied at the same time, again. "Tails," "Heads,"

The teacher shook his head and said, "What do you really want?? The whole class is waiting for you!" He glared at us.

Len answered first. "It's going to be Heads.

"Heads it is." The teacher tossed the coin. It was Tails. I scowled at Len.

"Tails. Miku, you serve first." He blew his whistle, a signal that the game will now begin.

Miku served it with expertise. Len received it. I was amazed by how he received the shuttlecock. He was moving with an athlete's grace despite his thin stature. Gakupo then received the shuttlecock and smashed it towards me.

"Rin! Watch out!" Len yelled to get my attention. Too late. The shuttlecock hit my eyes, causing it to produce tears.

"Look! Rin is crying! What a shame!" Somebody said and everybody laughed. Everybody except Gakupo and Len. Gakupo crossed the net and helped me up, apologizing.

"I'm really really sorry Rin. I'm sorry. I didn.t mean to." He touched my face and blew into my eyes. God, his face was just inches away from mine I could almost smell his breath. It smelt of mint and citrus. Must be his toothpaste.

The teacher rushed in to help me. "Rin, are you all right?? Go to the clinic and rest for a while there. No buts already.." He added when he heard some complaints from me. "Just go." He stood up and announced that the game will continue but the teams must be changed. "Haigo and Matusmoto versus Fukuoka and Yamamoto. Come up now."

Miku approached us, clearly annoyed. "Look what you've done! If not for your stupid clumsiness, we would have won the game. AAARGH!" She stormed off.

"Look, I'm coming with you in the clinic since it was my fault." Gakupo offered. He was obviously worried and that flattered her. She smiled. She was about to say 'yes' when Len butted in.

"No, I'll take her since I'm her partner. Now go!" He shooed him away.

"Wait, let Rin decide." Gakupo suggested then looked at me. "What is it Rin??"

I looked at their expectant faces. I sighed. "I think it's better if Gakupo take me so Miku won't get mad." I smiled at Gakupo and then looked at Len who was obviously hurt by my decision.

"Okay then. I'll help you." Gakupo offered.

"No, it's okay. It wasn't my legs that are injured." I chuckled and tried to stand up. By the moment my legs supported my body, I could see black things forming in my eyes. "Is there an earthquake??" I asked when I felt the earth shook below me. I looked at Gakupo and Len and was greeted back by confused stares. I tried to walk but I fell down. Blackness started to take over my eyes. "Rin!" Gakupo and Len shouted in unison. That was the last thing I remembered after darkness sucked me into its depths.

Ouch. Darn headache. I opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was Len, slouched over an easy chair. Where am I?? What happened?? I looked around to find the answers and I realized I was in the school clinic. I groaned in pain when I tried to move. Len heard my groan and looked at me. He smiled.

"Hey, good thing you're awake already. 5 more minutes and I would have called your parents." He advanced towards the bed.

"Why am I in here??? What happened???" I asked.

"You don't remember??" I shook my head. "You fainted when you tried to stand up so we brought you here." He replied.

"How many minutes was I out??" I looked around me and saw the clock above the door. 2:35 PM. PE started at 9:30 AM. "Whaaaaaaat???!! Almost five hours???!! No wonder I'm hungry."

Len chortled. "You're always hungry. That's why I brought you this." He held up a paper bag. The room immediately was enveloped with a delightful aroma of ramen and sushi. I reached for the bag quickly but Len pulled it away.

"It seems you forgot something." He closed his eyes and pouted his lips. I chuckled then said. "Whatever. Just give me that damn bag and get it done." I slapped his face gently but hard enough to sting a little.

"Ouch! What was that for???" He complained.

"It's for the bag that you are punishing by not giving to me. Can't you hear the poor thing begging to be released??" I joked and reached for the bag again.

"Okay." He reluctantly resigned and gave the paper bag to me.

"Hmmmmm…. Foood…" I muttered as I opened the bag. I was about to start eating when I noticed Len staring at me.

"You want???" I asked.

He shook his head and whispered, barely audible. "Just seeing you this happy makes me happy too."

SAY WHAAAT??!! Waaait, why the hell am I entertaining this guy?? He's supposed to be my worst enemy. I frowned. "I don't want your food. Get it. Where's Gakupo???" I said, determined to hurt him but it seems it was me who was hurt.

He looked at me in surprise, his eyes questioning as if to ask, what happened?? But after a while, a simper escaped his lips. "Your sweetheart Gakupo is out there, somewhere with Miku." He emphasized the word sweetheart. He was mocking me again.

"I don't believe you. Get out of here, you arrogant mule!" I yelled at him. At the same instant, a wave of dizziness visited me. I closed my eyes to relieve the giddiness I felt.

"Are you okay??" I heard Len ask me, his voice sounded concerned.

"I'm okay. Just leave me alone." I pushed him away without opening my eyes. I didn't know that he came really near me and instead of pushing away air, I touched his lips. I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me. I felt my heart skip a beat. Damn, it seems I was under a spell or something because I can't seem to move away. He lowered his head and poised his lips against mine. I closed my eyes again, waiting for his lips. I wasn't disappointed. His kiss was warm and gentle. He moved slowly and softly which made me sigh inwardly.

"Rin????" A voice asked. It was familiar but I don't want to ruin the moment so I ignored it. Gakupo. Oh shit. I pushed Len as hard as I can and looked at the door. I wasn't mistaken. It was Gakupo, with a grinning Miku behind him. I looked at Len and saw a mocking smile playing in his lips. And then I knew it. THIS IS ALL A SET-UP!
