For Bubblycutie I'll put Leon in here since you reviewed 1st for the 5th chappie
Ch. 6- Green is the Enemy and Another Blonde
Rin and Lily were grounded and banned from having sleepovers unless supervised. Kaiko was such in shock that Rin kissed her that she practically forgot about that and assumed she just passed out like everybody else. Luka to say the least used that tuna fish well to smack Rin and Lily into next week; literally she put her two daughters in a coma.
Well it was kind of like they were on autopilot; they ate and did regular things, just with no emotion like they were robots. I on the other hand was promoted to most trustworthy child since I made sure they did nothing too stupid while drunk. Only Rin and Lily got punished because there so called friends and enemies fled the scene before Luka came.
That left only Kaito, Akaito, Kaiko, and that Yuki girl in the house. I can't for the life of me understand how Yuki's parents let Rin babysit her still after that fiasco. I watched Rin scrub some more vomit stains from the carpet while Lily was still picking up empty bottles and cans.
"So, how'd you guys get the liquor?" I asked flinching when they glared at me.
"Meiko, idiot." Rin said puffing up her cheeks in anger. I could tell Rin did not learn from her lesson at all.
Lily understood why Luka would beat them, hell if they were my kids I'd do that every day. I mean look at these two, always doing something. Rin, I could tell was upset. Everyone ditched her so they wouldn't have to deal with their parents. Being Rin she didn't snitch on anybody.
No way would she risk being dubbed a tattle tale. I felt pleased Rin was cleaning up her own messes for once you know. I'd usually do it. Definitely swell to see. Gakupo came in carrying a samurai sword dancing around like a maniac.
I bothered to not even ask, I was sick of trying to understand this family and how it worked. It was just time for me to go with the flow.
"Children of the household, I have great news to share with you." He said swinging his sword dangerously. I seriously thought he was going to cut someone up.
"What is it Dad?" Lily asked feigning interest. The last time his daughters didn't care what he talked about he sulked in a corner becoming depressed for about two hours until they offered him an eggplant.
"Your cousin Leon is going to be staying awhile. As you know his mom is ill and his dad is sending him here for the better environment until she gets better." Gakupo said and my sisters started to scream like crazy out of cheerfulness.
This Leon guy was a big deal then. If he's their cousin does that make him mine too? Who is Leon and what's he look like? Gakupo caught on to my expression and pulled out a picture of him hiding somewhere in his hair.
I took it and observed the boy. He had blonde hair that went down the back of his neck slightly. He also had greenish blue eyes and looked like the type where girls would fall to the ground cause he was kind of good looking.
Now this only furthered my suspicion on how in the world were so many people blonde when none of their parents had blonde hair. I went to the kitchen to get a drink ignoring the screams of glee from my sisters and Gakupo continuing to dance. I noticed we were out of oranges and if Rin saw that she'd flip out.
"Hey, I'm going to buy some oranges, 'Kay." I said and everyone bid me farewell.
The store was packed with people. I pushed through crowds to get to those oranges. This one boy thought he could get the last set of oranges, but I stole them from him.
The people all stood in massive lines waiting to pay and get out. I waited until another register opened, beating ten other people there. I placed my oranges down while taking out some money. To my utter horror it was the girl from the store that got robbed as the cashier.
Gumi's eyes widened when she saw me. Why me? I hoped, prayed, begged she wouldn't try to do anything so I could pay and leave without any hassle. That's not too much to ask.
"Knight in shining armor!" She exclaimed making me sigh.
"It's Len. My name is Len." I stated pushing the oranges to her so she could get the picture.
"Len, what a handsome name. I'm so glad I could see you again. How about we go on a date?"She said putting Rin's favorite fruit in a bag.
"No. I don't date." I said taking my change and about to leave when I was stopped.
She had caught my ponytail forcing me to look at her. Clearly the exasperation was on my face, but she just went on like I didn't have other places to go.
"I think we should hang." She said winking at me.
"Don't you have customers to attend to?" I asked seeing the infuriated faces of the people waiting. They looked like they would kill her.
"I'll find another job if it means spending time with the boy who saved my life. Let's go." Gumi tore off her name tag and grabbed my hand.
She pulled me out of the store dragging me to some tacky café. I decided to see where this would go and went along with whatever. I hadn't taken a day to myself in awhile. I placed my oranges down on the table we took at seat at.
I had some idea that Gumi looked like the stalker type and if she ever found out where I lived it would be disastrous so that's why I didn't do my normal running away.
"So Len you have a girlfriend?" She asked me looking at the menu with a smile on her face.
"No." I answered not making an effort to order anything from this place.
"Oh, then maybe I can fill in that position. Give me a chance." She said moving towards me playing cute.
"Nope, I'm good." I said looking out the window. There were more intriguing things out there than looking at this green haired girl.
"What, I'm no good." She pouted to make me feel sorry for her. I wasn't affected so she batted her eyes instead.
"Do you have someone you like then?" She asked and I truly questioned this.
Did I like Rin? I didn't really know. I mean she was someone I would want to protect, I was the closest to her, and she did make me feel strange at times.
"I guess I like someone." I finally said, admitting my feelings for that certain blonde girl.
"Ooh, who is it?" She was nosy wasn't she?
"None of your business." I said happily then returned to my bored look.
"I bet I can compete with her so you'll fall in love with me for sure." She said confidently and that made me laugh.
Like she could compete with Rin? She wondered why I was laughing at her, looking upset. I stopped and saw other people in the café looking at us. I heard someone I hope by accident say that we were a delightful couple.
That made me sick to my stomach. No way would I date this girl, I'd have to commit suicide before that happens. Gumi was ecstatic about this though choosing to rejoice from that comment.
"See, if we look this good together then we'll be an awesome couple right." She said nodding her head at the same time I was shaking mine.
The waitress came to take our orders. Can you guess who it was? Mikuo's cousin Miku. She was in a tight shirt that enhanced her bosom and a short miniskirt. She looked at me with surprise before smiling brightly.
"If it isn't Len. Hi." Miku said and Gumi stared at her then at me keenly. Then an idea popped into her head.
"Len, is this the girl you like?" Gumi asked and I could've slapped her if I didn't hit girls.
Miku seemed flattered, red staining her cheeks at the comment. Gumi, in my opinion, is the definition of stupidity.
"No, I don't like Miku." I said firmly narrowing my eyes at the girl.
"Oh, good cause I don't think I could compete with that body." Gumi said in relief pointing at Miku's assets which made the teal haired girl cover herself up.
"I don't like girls for their bodies. It's the personality." I said and I seemed to have caught both girls in shock. Did I look like the type to care about bodily parts?
"Len, thank you for not liking me." Miku said and Gumi gave her a look of disbelief.
"Why, he's hot." Gumi said obviously not looking at my inner beauty, and Miku giggled bouncing from foot to foot.
"Well, I'd be the envy of the school with such a boyfriend and I don't need any enemies because they like him. Also I like someone else." She blushed twiddling her fingers like Kaiko does.
"Who?" Gumi asked and I rolled my eyes. This girl and her pestering.
I was pretty dumbfounded to see that they were having a conversation when they didn't even know each other's names. Miku seemed to be debating if she should tell or not. It wasn't like she needed too though. She had just met Gumi and this was our second time talking. There was no reason for her to just tell her business like that.
"Len promise you won't tell." Miku begged me and I promised not really caring either way.
"You too, um, what's your name?" Miku asked the green haired girl.
"Oh, I'm Gumi." She said promising Miku not to tell.
"Well, I like this girl who's sweet. She speaks her mind a lot which gets her into trouble with the teachers a lot. She's really adorable." She began to rant avoiding on giving us the name of this girl she liked.
So, Miku, the most popular girl in school is in love with a girl. I feel too sorry for her fan boys. She went on about details about this person and it kind of sounded like somebody I knew very well. It couldn't have been Meiko although she does speak her mind. Kaiko was sweet, but she doesn't get in trouble with any teachers.
Lily's got a man. Teto to me matches nothing of what she's describing. Neither does those girls Miki and Neru. Who could it be?
"I like Rin Megurine." She covered her face with her hands mortified that she said it.
I was lucky Gumi didn't know about my situation with the Megurine family and Rin or she'd find out eventually who I'd like. Then it occurred to me that Miku liked Rin, just like her pathetic cousin Mikuo. Rin, being my sister who I adore being liked by Hatsunes, no it couldn't be.
I didn't know Rin's sexual orientation at all. If she was gay, bi, or straight was something that never came to my mind. Sure she had a crush on Kaito, but it didn't mean she couldn't have an attraction towards girls either.
I was going to make sure she was not in love with Miku or any other female. Rin is mine. I was going to leave now. Getting up abruptly Gumi and Miku looked at me with curious expressions.
"Where are you going? We haven't ordered yet." Gumi called out as I left her sitting in the café by herself.
At home I crashed onto the couch watching anime. Sailor Moon was on so I sung the opening and pretended I was Tuxedo Mask and Rin was my Sailor Moon. All was well when Gakupo came in. He looked at me before walking right back out.
I flushed withering down to nothing at being caught. Rin came in with an orange throwing it to me. She told me to sit down, which I did. Then she had lain down on the couch, placing her head on my lap. Her big eyes looked up at my heated face.
"Feed me. My arms feel like jelly from all that cleaning." She said opening her mouth waiting for a slice of the fruit.
Was she trying to seduce me? I bit my lip peeling the orange speedily so I could get this over with. Each slice I popped in her mouth where she chewed it. It made me have this urge to kiss her.
I watched her close her eyes moaning on how good it tasted. I took a slice for myself just to taste what she was tasting. The juice exploded in my mouth as soon as I bit into it. Oranges were yummy, but bananas were still better. Still her moaning was not helping me at all.
A bit of juice ran from the side of her mouth. I looked at the TV to distract me from doing something inappropriate. She had eaten the whole thing, except the piece I had taken for myself. Slowly her eyes opened as her pink tongue dabbed up the juice that spilled from her mouth. She rose to her feet thanking me before she left.
I sighed, reassured that she was gone. Then I remembered that I needed to know if Rin liked Miku. I looked for Rin in the house and found her in her room on her bed. It was messy, filled with things she didn't even know she had. I couldn't see her floor with all the clothes, garbage, and other unnecessary stuff there.
That girl even had stuff on her bed, which she managed to somehow sleep in. See, this is the reason why she sleeps in my room more. She saw me and smiled. I stepped over what I could, swearing I saw something crawling over in one side of the room.
"What's up Len?" She asked me kicking off some things on her bed so I could lie down next to her.
"I have a question." I said lying down, making myself comfortable.
"Shoot." She said pulling on her bow.
"How do you feel about Miku Hatsune?" I asked and she looked at me glaring.
"You like her?" She asked in a looming tone.
"No." I said and she dropped her scary face. Jeez, why was she so upset?
"Well, I think Miku's cool. You know everyone loves her. She's always turns down guys no matter how handsome. Also I want to be friends with her, but she's kind of a loner." Rin said licking her lips thinking of what else to say.
"Oh, I think she's weird though. Every time I try to talk to her she makes up some excuse to leave." Rin said crossing her arms.
"Do you like her?" I asked hoping she wouldn't pummel me when she figures out what I mean.
"Like her? Like, be her main squeeze?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah." I confirmed that was where I was going at.
"Does Len get off at girl on girl action like at the sleepover?" She grinned bashfully.
"No!" I said turning my head away from her.
"It's ok Len. All boys fantasize." She said patting my head.
"Rin!" I yelled and she laughed.
"No, silly. I can assure you I like boys." She said then jumped out of bed. "Although Kaiko's cute, right?"
I got up quickly, but she ran out of the room. I chased her.
"Leave Kaiko alone Rin!" I yelled.
When Leon came I didn't expect him to be tall. He was supposed to be a year older than me and Rin and this guy looked like he should join basketball. Gakupo and Luka welcomed him as did Lily and Rin. I was the one he looked at the most.
Maybe he heard about my bad past. He kind of creeped me out. He just kept looking at me when we watched TV, ate dinner, and showed him to his room. This house had a lot of rooms. Leon did talk to the rest of the family, but not me. From what I heard, his voice was deep and calm. Not intimidating at all, but it did demand respect.
His eyes would drift to me though when he was in a conversation, I guess it was because of how Lily and Rin latched onto me. It seemed he didn't take too kindly to his girl cousins all on a boy who was adopted. If he was like this, what would he do if he learned Lily and Kaito were doing 'things' in her room?
"Len." He had called my name for the first time.
At first I had no idea who called me then I looked around and saw him looking at me and assumed he was the one. I went over to him cautiously. For some odd reason I found him more threatening than any of the others I've encountered.
"Yes." I said looking up at him. He looked down at me for some time.
He had that look in his eyes of a father who was about to tell off his daughter's fiancé. I started to shake a little feeling a bit dizzy. I didn't know how many minutes passed until he finally spoke.
"You're alright Len." He said and I stood appalled for a moment. He had accepted me?
"I'm alright?" I questioned not knowing how to respond.
"Yeah, in fact I kind of feel sorry for you. I know my cousins can be a little hectic." Leon said.
He knew of the crap I dealt with handling them; throw up, drunkenness, Junta, crying, and split personalities. I really liked Leon after that. In fact I would place him before Kaito as a friend. He placed an arm around my shoulder.
"Listen, if Rin starts talking weird it's only because the accident happened during this month." He said and it took me a moment to realize he meant Rin being kidnapped.
"Ok." I said and he patted my head. What was it with the patting my head with these people. I was not a dog.
So this Leon guy would be staying until his mom got better which could take forever. Still I considered Leon the official brother I didn't have. It was finally equal numbers against Rin and Lily when fighting over the remote control or who got to do the chores.
I was doing the laundry when Rin came by to fold the clothes that came out of the dryer. It was the first time she helped without me asking or begging her. Lily was on a date with Kaito and Leon was taking a nap. It was just me and her.
"Len, do you ever think about doing something bad?" She asked and I tensed. All the things I did bad, I wouldn't be able to tell her these things in our lifetime.
"Constantly." I answered adding more detergent to the washer.
"Do you think about murdering people?" I turned to her then. Was this her split personality talking?
I could see that her usually dazzling eyes were dreary. Her whole body language became someone else's I've never seen before. She crossed her legs as she sat down on a wooden box filled with documents near the clothes. Her fingers intertwined together as she placed on her lap.
Her back was straight instead of slouching while she looked slightly older. I felt a certain feeling of dread as I watched Rin act like a completely different person.
"I mean Len, don't you think about killing people. It would be better if some people were gone anyways." She said looking at me with a fanatical shine in her eyes.
"I think about killing loved ones and enemies, you know Len. I don't believe in discrimination." Her eyes were glossed over like she was remembering something.
"Cutting people up to pieces are a work of art to me, especially when I can get their arms and paint their nails." She stood up walking to me and I was stationary.
"Then to stick their severed arms into a pot of soil or the ground so many can look at my lovely garden." She was in front of me smirking evilly.
"Rin." I whispered hoping she'd come back to her senses. She looked at me with a perplexed expression.
"Who's Rin? My name is Sukone Tei." She said and I couldn't think anymore.
Was Sukone Tei the murderer that killed herself? She smiled sweetly before pulling a large knife from out of nowhere. What was she going to do to me? I watched her raise the knife above her head ready to stab me. I closed my eyes.
I expected to feel a piercing in my skin, but I heard the knife fall to the ground. I opened my eyes seeing Leon had effectively knocked her out. She was in his arms looking like she wasn't trying to kill me. Leon looked at me saying something about being more careful.
Rin was placed in the living room on the couch sleeping. Leon was watching her carefully as did I. Rin was really messed up. I guess even I can't stop her from acting out sometimes. I would have to look up Sukone Tei later on the internet to see her history of kills.
Rin woke up not recalling anything at all that she had a knife that she planned to use. She smiled at us and went on with her business. Leon chose to observe her making sure she didn't do anything while I relaxed a bit. Gakupo and Luka came back asking where everyone was.
"Lily's on a date. Rin's playing video games. Leon's watching her play." I said and they told me we were going to have a maid.
"Why, you have four kids that could that stuff?" I asked and Luka smiled sarcastically.
"You know my daughters suck at cleaning and Leon is a guest. Besides the girl needs this job." Luka said beginning to brush her hair.
"Yeah, she quit her job and couldn't pay her rent so she was out on the street." Gakupo said also brushing his hair. Both of them loved their hair almost more than each other.
"What's her name?" I asked and they were about to answer when the doorbell rung.
I decided I'd get it. As I twisted the knob I could feel something horrible was coming on. Something awful was behind this door and I already had enough surprises. Opening the door I saw that Gumi girl standing with a suitcase and a smile of astonishment.
"Gumi why are you here?" I asked trying my best not to throw up.
"Since I quit my job I realized I didn't have the money to afford my apartment and they kicked my ass out. So I was looking for places to stay and Mr. and Mrs. Megurine said I could be their maid. I forgot where they lived, but when I asked that Miku girl where it was she told me that I you lived here."
She smiled from ear to ear as I thought about my chaotic day. I had been kidnapped by Gumi to a café, heard Miku who's now my love rival say she likes Rin, got inadvertently turned on by Rin, met Leon, almost got killed by Rin, and now this stalker Gumi is living here as the maid who's hell-bent on finding out who's the girl I like.
To be honest getting killed by Rin would be better than having this green haired girl enter the house with no intention of leaving.
Hey guys if you want me to use a certain Vocaloid, Utauloid, all that stuff let me know and I'll put them in the story.
I'll make sure they have important roles too, not that meet them one chapter and never see them again.
Also I already plan to use the new Vocaloids Utatane Piko and Iroha Nekomura
Bye
