Len POV

"Please show up. Please Rin. You have to."

I waited at the end of Rin's street for her to show up for a few minutes, but nothing. No one was standing in front of or leaving her house. The limo was still in their driveway too. I had no idea her parents would be so upset. I just felt so guilty then. I'd gotten her wedding pushed up to this weekend instead of two years from now.

My phone began vibrating in my pocket and I pulled it out. I was hoping for a text message or a call from Rin, but instead it was my alarm. I'd set it so I knew when I had to leave for school. I turned my head so I was starring directly at her house and still saw no sign of her or her parents. I had to go then or else I'd be late.

It wasn't a long ride, but once I got to school I wished I wasn't alone. Since I'd shown up without Rin everyone seemed suspicious, since we seemed so close. Next to my locker I saw Gumo waiting for me before we had homeroom. As I put in my combination Gumo began talking.

"Hey Len, where's Rin?"

"She couldn't come to school today."

"Oh. Did you hear we're having an assembly today once class starts? We're supposed to go to the theater before 8:30."

"Alright let's go then."

As we rushed down the hallway towards the stair case I saw Rin's friends waiting by her locker. They all were texting her, waiting for a response. Miki looked from her phone and saw us so she ran up to Gumo and me.

"Hey have either of you guys seen Rin. She isn't picking up her phone or answering any of our texts."

"Uh she had something to do today," I replied.

"Oh alright," Miki exclaimed. "Gumo what do you think the assembly is about?"

"No idea Miki."

Once Gumo and I left them we walked into the theater. Our entire grade was sitting in black folding chairs, facing the stage. On the projector screen were two pictures. One was of Rin and the other was of Rillianne. On the stage stood the Principal and Rin's father, in their hands they each held a microphone and they began asking people to sit down. Gumo and I found two empty seats in the back and sat down.

"Everyone please be quiet," the Principal began. "As you go through your classes today you may notice an empty seat in your class. The reason for that is Rin Kagamine was pulled out of school this morning by her parents."

There was a loud gasp filling the room. I felt my body sink into the chair as everyone began to whisper.

"Students please be quiet! I have another announcement that will come as a great shock to you all. The reason Rin Kagamine was taken out of school is because she's Rillianne Kagami, Princess of Spain. The night of our Masquerade Ball, she'll be preparing to board a plane to France and her father came in today so if anyone wanted to write Rin a note or give her something they'll be able to. In my office there is a folder where anyone can put anything in. Now please go back to your classes."

As everyone began to pour out of the theater Gumo and I stayed. Rin's friends ran over to us and began crowding us.

"Len," Gumo asked. "Did you know the whole time?"

I nodded my head. Miki, Gumi and Teto were all tearing up, crying hysterically.

"This is a joke right?" Teto exclaimed as she whipped away her tears. "I mean it can't be true."

"It is," I muttered. "And it's all my fault."

The rest of the day began to drone by. I didn't really pay attention in any of my classes or anything. Once I got to English I began to dread going to music. Would Gakupo make me sing with another person? I found my chair in the back of the room and plopped down in it. No one was speaking or even making a sound. Lily sensei noticed every ones' unresponsiveness so she let us have a free block.

Out of my bag I pulled out my noise blocking headphones and lay back in my chair. My eyelids felt heavy and images of last night began to roll into my mind.


Rin had crouched down so she was the same height as me. She held the hand I'd pressed up against my stinging cheek. I noticed her eyes begin to tear up so I gently wrapped my arm around her, holding her closely to me. As she sat there I slipped a note into the inside pocket of her jacket.

Once it was secure I quickly pulled my hand away. Rin's father seemed utterly disgusted by everything and yanked Rin out of my grasp. She began flailing her arms and reaching for me, but it was no use. Tears streamed down her red stained cheeks as her father began yelling at her.

"Rillianne this isn't how we raised you! I've had it with you! You have no respect for any of my rules and when I ask you not to get involved with any other men I mean it! You're engaged for God sakes! What the hell is wrong with you? You're such a retched child with no compassion for what your mother and I do for you-."

"You want me to get married so I'm out of your hair! You just want more money!"

"Rillianne, stop it!" her mother cried.

"No I won't!"

"If that's how you feel Rillianne then that's it! I'm taking you out of school and sending you to France! Lord Hatsune's father will prepare a room for you two once I call him and make sure you aren't allowed to leave the premises of their mansion. That way there'll be no chance of you running away. I'm sure Mikuo's parents will be happy even to move the wedding closer, maybe even on the night of your arrival."

"No!"

"Yes. I'm sending you Sunday night! Understood?"

Rin's damaged expression killed me inside, but all I could do now was hope she'd read the note. But if she didn't I knew I'd never see her again.

"Nero send Len away and make sure he never comes back."

One of their servants ushered me out of the house and locked the door behind me. Carefully and quietly I snuck through the garden so I was facing Rin's balcony. I hid in one of the bushes as I waited for her to show up. In my hand I held my phone and waited hours for her to show up. I peaked my head out of the bush and noticed how late it got. The sky was pitch black making it hard to see in front of me. I pulled out my keys and turned on the mini flash light I'd put on my key ring.

"Please be out here Rin."

I heard the sound of a door creaking open and I instantly looked up and saw a familiar figure appear on Rin's balcony. Once I figured out it was her I saw, I dashed over to the tree next to the railing and climbed up. She stood there, shivering in her short nightgown. In her hand she held my note and dropped it as she ran over to me. She wrapped her slender arms around my neck and pulled herself closer to me.

Through all the silence in the night I heard a soft cry in front of me. Rin backed away with her tears streaming down her cheeks.

"I thought I'd never see you again."

"I'd never leave you."

She reached for my hand and dragged me to her bed. We sat down next to each other as she leaned into my shoulder. I moved my shoulder and turned so I was facing her directly.

"Len," she whispered. "What is it?"

"I have a plan."

"What do you mean?"

"Saturday night is the masquerade ball at our school, remember?"

"Yes, but what does that have to do with-?"

"Just go to it somehow. You have to."

"Why?"

I reached into the pocket of my pants and clutched the small box. As I was about to pull it out, Rin spoke.

"Len, why are you doing this? Why are you trying so hard to be with me? You have nothing holding you to the ground, so leave. You don't have to have your parents force feelings into your heart, so why? My heart aches so much because of all this. So hard that, maybe, you cannot be there anymore. "

Rin held her hand to her chest and began breathing faster. She wasn't looking at me any longer, her face staring at the blankets beneath her. Her cheeks seemed pale pink, which contrasted with her glowing face. I reverted my gaze and began to slowly pull out the small box.

"But Rin, that wouldn't make sense in what I'm about to do."

Her eyes suddenly glanced at mine and her entire face lit up. She glanced at the small box as I opened it in front of her. She instantly covered her mouth in shock once she saw the ring and her cheeks began to change to a scarlet color. Rin reached her right hand towards the ring and extended her finger through the band. When she pulled away it was securely placed on her finger. Both of us were silent, but I still heard one word escape Rin's lips.

"Yes."

She leaned forward, wrapping her arms around my neck as I wrapped mine around her waist. Her body was placed in between my legs and I gently pushed them closer together to keep Rin there. My hands slid down her waist, but she didn't seem to mind. I pulled my neck away from her grasp and my hands off her waist and clutched her face. With my hands I turned her face so her lips pressed up against mine. They felt so soft and tender up against mine. Mindlessly I began to run my tongue against her bottom lip and she carelessly opened her mouth. Soft moans often escaped Rin's mouth, but not loud enough for her parents to hear us.


"Class dismissed," Lily sensei exclaimed, causing me to stop day dreaming. "Oh and remember the dance is tomorrow night so have fun if you're going."


Len proposed to Rin! And she said yes *fan girl squeal* XD Please review even if you hated the chapter.
