Kagami: Alrighty! I'm back with another chapter!
I don't own vocaloid.
…
A couple days had passed, and I thought I may be in the clear. Did I mention the little girl went with Meiko, and found her mom? Well, she did, and now it was a normal Wednesday, and I was just finishing giving an omelet to a new regular customer.
Happy today?
I smiled as I wrote out the message.
"I'm always happy when Rin-chan is serving me," the regular smiled back.
The new bells I got for the door chimed.
"Oh Rin! Could you get that?" Luka asked.
I nodded, and turned to see Len.
"Hey Rin, just wanted to see how work was! Omlet please?" I tried to hid my fear, and lead him to a seat as far away from the kitchen as possible, then ran to the kitchen.
"Ah hello Rin! Another omlet? I think I'll throw in an extra cake this time, I'm getting good at those," Piko said, flashing a cheeky grin.
I nodded, and he gave me a plate while adding the small cake.
I tried to be as casual as possible as I gave Len his omlet.
Work is fun!
"That's nice, I hope it's fun!" Len smiled.
"Ah Rin! My hands are full could you take these plates to Piko?" DARN IT LILY!
"And why would Rin do that?" Len scowled.
"Well, Piko works in the kitchen! DUH!" Lily said rudely.
Len said nothing, he only went to Piko in the kitchen.
"Aren't you supposed to be working in the building!?" he asked.
"That's only an hour-a-day job! Plus you said I need to learn how to cook!" Piko smirked.
"Rin why didn't you tell me!?" Len yelled.
"I-,"
"SHUT UP YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO TALK!"
Len never yells at me… I couldn't help but start tearing up.
"Look what you did! Are you alright Rin?" Piko asked.
"What I did!? You're the one being here with Rin! Without my permission!" Len argued.
I didn't want to see them argue again, so I ran all the way back home, and jumped into bed for a nap.
…
"Rin!"
"Mother?!"
"Rin!'
"Mother no!"
"Look out Rin! Look out for…"
I couldn't hear mother anymore, I could just stare at her moving lips as she disappeared again.
"MOM!" I screamed.
…
I jumped up, scared of the sudden scream I gave out.
"Just a dream," I reminded myself, getting out of bed.
I looked out the window. Pitch black.
I walked through the house a while, and eventually found a note.
Rin I'm so sorry for how I got so upset.
I don't blame you if you hate me!
I'll be at a meeting, if you get hungry go get some ice-cream from Gumi.
Please don't be mad-
Len
I was kinda upset, but I wouldn't say I'm super mad.
I decided to go find Gumi.
I walked through hallways, and finally found the booth Gumi was at.
"Oh Rin! You got the note? Are you mad at Len?" Gumi asked.
I shook my head.
"Well, I've got orange sherbet today, want some?" She asked.
I franticly nodded.
"Great, I'll just put it on Len's tab… any toppings?"
I shook my head.
"Alright, here you go!"
I took my sherbet, and sat at one of the tables. I started to eat, when suddenly two hands went over my eyes.
"Rin-chan, guess who?"
I took of the hands, and turned to see the regular customer.
I made a surprised face.
"Mm? Rin you aren't in cosplay," His hands wrapped around me "You don't need to be so silent,"
His hands came dangerously close to my chest, and I panicked.
I started to pinch his arms, to get him to let go.
"Ah~Ah~ah! My Rin-chan won't be getting away that easily,"
"P-please stop!" I begged. I knew I should have accepted that pepper spray from Meiko!
"No, I want to hear you beg in another place. Perhaps a room of the hotel by the Raman shop?" I could feel him smirk as he nuzzled into my neck.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" I turned to see Piko, and the one time I needed him too!
"Sorry man, didn't think the babe had a boyfriend. Forgive me Rin-chan," The regular smiled apologetically, walking away.
"Thank you Piko!" I nearly shouted.
"No problem, anything for Rin!" Piko smiled.
I stood up, and gave him a hug, ignoring how petrified I was.
"You were scared?" Piko asked.
I nodded, and broke the hug.
"I better go now," I whispered.
"Alright, and no more talking," he smiled.
I nodded, and walked off.
Piko Pov
I turned, and when Rin left I walked to the plant where I found Len, spying.
"You going to yell at me?" I asked.
"Thanks…" Len muttered.
"Thanks?" I asked, confused.
"She could have been raped, if it weren't for you. Thanks,"
I smiled.
"I know how you feel," I said.
"Huh?" Len asked.
"You just don't want any guy to hold her, or touch her, or even check her out for one second! When they do, you just freak. I get that," I smiled.
Len Chuckled "Stop watching chick flicks you sound like a poet or something. But you're right,"
"I guess I am being dramatic," I laughed "well you may want to go back to your apartment, and apologize in person,"
"Good idea," Len smiled.
Len walked off, and I sighed.
What if I really am nothing more than a friend?
…
Kagami- well how was it?
