Love, Jealousy and Violence
Ch. 6 Prepare
Tei's POV
"Huh? A party?" I asked Defoko.
"Yeah. I overheard from the Vocaloids that they're gonna have a random party tomorrow night," She replied.
"Why?"
"Maybe it's because the older ones are gone so they feel like they can do anything they want."
"Hm... okay."
"We're all invited."
"Are we the only ones?"
"Probably not."
"Who else are invited?" I gasped. "Is any girl that likes Len gonna be invited?"
"I don't know."
"Hm... Go ask just in case."
"What? Why me?"
"I'm not a social person. Besides, Miku's the eldest so she must have been the one that thought of that, right?"
"Uh, yeah. So?" I answered with a stare.
"Oh. Oh, right. Okay, fine," She said and left me alone in the kitchen.
A minute later, Len came into the kitchen holding a mug of milk. His mug was plain white and had a print of a bunch of bananas on two sides. I turned away from him.
"Good morning, Sukone-san."
"Wha-? G-Good morning, L-Len-kun..."
Awkward silence...
"Sukone-san?"
"H-Huh? Yeah?"
"Where'd you go last night? I was seriously worried, you know!" He said with a partly concerned, partly angry and partly embarrassed face. My eyes widened.
"You were?" His eyes' turn to widen. He blushed hard and turned away. That's so cute...
"H-Hell yeah I was! Where WERE you?"
"S-Sorry. I was, uh, at the park...?"
"What?" He faced me. "What would you be doing in the park at that time of night?"
"Uh..."
"What? Feeding birds? Sulking?" He asked sarcastically. I looked away and there was an awkward silence again. Curse you, awkward silence!
"I-I'm sorry," He apologised.
"Hey, Tei!" Defoko called as she came in. When she saw me alone with Len, she smirked and walked away, saying, "Sorry if I disturbed you two..." I blushed.
"H-Huh?" I asked semi-confused and started chasing the laughing Defoko around the house.
Len's POV
"Uhm, Sukone-san?" I called as she chased Defoko-san around. When she left the kitchen, I decided to go up to Rin's room.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"How rude!" I exclaimed dramatically while putting my hand on my chest and looking away. I was obviously just copying what she did last night when she was in my room.
"Okay, really, what do you want?"
"You think it's really okay for us to host a party randomly like this?" I asked her. She gasped dramatically.
"You DARE question Queen Miku's desires?" She exclaimed dramatically.
"N-NO! That's not what I meant!"
"Haha! I was messing with you, Len! Geez!" She smirked and looked out her window. That demon... She does NOT deserve that cute white bow!
"A lot of Vocaloids will be coming, you know." She smirked. "And of course, most are girls," Damn her...! I already know that!
"Well, Len, you'd better prepare for the party."
"Huh? Me?"
"Yup." She put her hands on my shoulders and put her face closer to mine. "Prepare... to have A BUNCH OF GIRLS FLIRT WITH YOU!"
"W-WHAT?" She got her hands off me and walked away, laughing hysterically.

Defoko's POV
I ran away from Rin's room as soon as I heard Len start walking for the door. As much as I love teasing Tei, she's still my best friend. I have to warn her...
~o~
"And that's what I heard," I told Tei.
"Dammit...!"
"Look, Tei, Rin's just like me. She likes teasing her brother. Who KNOWS what she could've actually meant!"
"I don't care about the who would actually know-"
"Tei, calm down-"
"NO! I AM GONNA BEAT THE LIVING SOUL OUT OF ANY GIRL THAT DARES FLIRT WITH HIM!"
"Wha-? Shh! Tei! The neighbours will hear you!"
"THEN LET THEM HEAR! THIS'LL SERVE AS A WARNING!"
"TEI! CALM THE HELL DOWN!" Her eyes widened and she sat down on one of the beds. "You gotta learn to control your anger and desire to kill."
"I-I don't have a desire to kill! I don't like violence!"
"But sometimes, when you get mad, it takes over your mind and you almost can't stop yourself. You gotta learn to control it."
She sighed. "I-I'll try..."
"That's my Tei. Now, let's just get ready for the party tomorrow."
