Chapter 8:
The rain continued to pour down as the pair stood their ground. "What are you doing here Kagamine?" Miku shouted over the heavy beating of the rain. The blond only stood and smirked as he gripped his gun tight, he cerulean blue eyes smiling and taunting her. "I wasn't done playing with you yet. Then you go off and before that you tried to kill me. Now correct me if I'm wrong but you wouldn't let that slide if you were me, now would you?" Said Len tauntingly as he watched the teal haired girls eyes glare at him in anger and annoyance. "No...I wouldn't. Tsk, I should have killed you when I had the chance!"
Len only laughed as he pointed the gun towards her, looking at her with lazy eyes. Like he couldn't be bothered to be doing this anymore. "Look, how about I just kill you were you stand and then we won't have to bother about all this ever again ok? I'm a busy guy commanding a group in a war, so I have no time to be wasting it on a petty girl like you." Miku for one didn't like the sound of that option at all, and it sounded even worse coming from his mouth.
Without any warning Miku sprinted towards Len at an unhuman speed and lashed out her sword at him. Len jumped out of the way and took a few shots at her, but it seemed that they were easy for her to dodge as well. "What kind of amateur shoots for the head?! Some leader you are. Can't even shoot someone who has only a sword!" Shouted Miku who was hoping her taunting would annoy him enough too make him lose his cool. Since the less focused your enemy is the better.
Even through the taunts and treats he expression didn't change, nor did the rain of bullets. It was as though the battle was going nowhere between the two. Len removed a mag and placed a new one and suddenly a spray was let out onto the plain.
Not wanting to get hit Miku flipped and ran up a tree, hiding from the bullets which now littered the ground below her. "Did you really think that I would for something as stupid as taunts Miku? And trust me when I say this but threats are nothing more than hot air! If I got new weapons every time I got a treat we would be unstoppable in this God forsaken war! Don't make me laugh Miku!"
She didn't want to be the one who fell for the stupid tricks and taunts but for some reason, whenever Len used her name it irritated her more than it should. Maybe it was because it was coming from his mouth; still she couldn't help but notice the shivers she got when he did say her name, even though she hated it.
It's because of the rain…That's all.
Still hiding in the trees while Len Kagamine still on the ground, trying to work out where his teal haired enemy is Miku flipped back her cloak to reveal some impressive looking throwing knife. "Heh. I knew these would come in handy one day. So stealing from that camp wasn't a total waste of time." Miku muttered with a smile on her face. She may be the best swords women but she had never met someone with better knife throwing abilities than her. All those who have challenged her are now somewhere dead on the ground.
Miku grabbed three knifes from both sides and threw them at Len when his back was turned. He was more alert than she thought he was. The knifes rained down to Len but he manages to dodge them before they hit, well one made a small gash on his leg and one got him on the arm but nothing serious. That wasn't going to stop him after all. "And here I thought that you would be more of a challenge! Even Teto could through better knifes than you!" Shouted Len to where the knifes came from, he didn't want to single Teto out but it was true. Teto did seem to have the worst combat abilities but still she is the best medic he had ever met.
Len picked up the knifes of the ground at threw them at Miku in the tree above. Len had to admit it was hard to find her but it wasn't going to be hard to spot the bright teal hair, which she had. That hair was going to be the death of her.
Acting for a minute like he didn't know where she was Len quickly turned at shot at the teal hair in the tree. The sudden shoot took Miku completely by surprise and she started to lose her balance but quickly regained it. Thinking he was all out of knifes she smirked and was going to throw more but she didn't foresee the hidden pistol he had. Before Miku could react in any way Len aimed the gun at the spot where Miku was and fire, making her lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
When Miku finally came to she didn't feel the cold, wet ground she was expecting. It was firm and warm…With, she didn't know why but it smelt of cinnamon. She wanted to lie there when suddenly she felt something wrap around her. "Well, this is ironic." Hearing the sound of Len's voice Miku put her hands to the ground and looked down. She was looking into the cerulean eyes of the boy she was just trying to kill.
Miku tried to get up but his arms were wrapped tight around her waist, much to her annoyance. "Let me go Kagamine!" Hissed Miku trying to sound threating but it only put amusement on Lens face. "But when you were knocked out you looked like you enjoyed staying like this so much, why do you want to leave now…"
She could tell the he was trying to get on her nerves but, why was she feeling so embarrassed right now? Miku went to her hip to try and get a knife but she couldn't find any. She wanted to curse.
"Oh yeah when you were trying to kill me you used them all up~" His sing along tune was really getting annoyed. She almost wanted to kill him more than Kaito. "Let me go! Why are you even doing this? Since you were just trying to kill me as I was trying to kill you" Len's eyes only danced with amusement as she searched his face to see if he was joking in any way. No, she could tell he was serious, they way he way toying with her.
"True I was trying my hardest to kill you, since you started the battle first. But now I've got a close look at you… You're way to cute to kill." Purred Len as the pushed some teal strand out of her so he could get a better look at her. He knew she was just recently trying to kill him and his team but it was true, she really was to beautiful to kill.
And this time Len could actually get a better look at her eyes. They were strange but beautiful and he wondered why she would cover her eyes like that.
But he could help but think;
Why would she cover them up? And why was so scared when I tried to take of the bandage?
