haha, I wrote this on the bus... Awesome experience... There was this random woman kept staring at me... I was so uncomfortable... Anyway, since I'm done with it, I'm uploading it and here it is! Hit hanks for the support you guys have given me... presenting chapter 9...


Rin P.O.V

I really wonder why on earth is his body so weak... His fainting is really getting onto my nerves. "Luki, I'm so sorry... I think I might need your help again, thank you so much!" I tried saying in my most polite tone possible. Luki only smiled in reply, just that it seemed... A little forced... Anyway, the priority now was to get Len back into the sick bay, and leave him in Teto's care. Come to think of it, I should really give them time alone together. It was obvious enough that Teto was interested in Len. I shouldn't be sticking around Len too much... I'm just a doll. He should spend time with humans more often...

I tried helping Len onto Luki's broad shoulder, but ended up failing. Wonder where did all my strength disappear to... I could have overused it. I realised some changes in me too... I felt pain, for the first time in my life. Not a pleasant feeling though... Luki gave up on giving Len a piggyback, instead, he carried Len, bridal style.

We walked into the sick bay together, the third time today. Luki carefully lowered Len onto the bed. I smiled at Teto, who was still sitting on the same chair since we went in the second time. She immediately stood up and raised her right hand. I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing myself for the force that was about to hit. But it never came. I opened my eyes a little. Luki was clutching tightly onto Teto's wrist, restraining her arm movement. "No one touches my Rin." He stated, his eyes cold, devoid of emotions. Wait? When did I become his? I was Len's doll... Never mind...

Luki led me out of the room as he released his grip on Teto, letting her stomping back onto her seat beside Len. Luki shot a glance at me. "Sorry Rin, I have talk to Teto privately, would you mind if you run up into the class yourself?" He forced a smile. I got out of the sick bay reluctantly and closed the door behind me. However, I was curious. Curiosity kills the cat, but not the doll. I pressed my ear against the door and listened.

"Please keep Len away from my Rin, she is too close to him." That was obviously Luki. Like what I said, when did I become his? I was Len's, am Len's and will always be Len's. Seriously, what was wrong with his memory? Wait, I haven't told him I was Len's yet... Never mind.

"Why? Who are you to order me about how should I treat Len?" Teto challenged.

"Well, don't you love Len?"

"Yes, problem?"

"Don't you want him all to yourself?"

"Obviously, don't you want the same with Rin?"

"Yup, so I"ll keep Rin away from Len, you keep Len away from Rin. Deal?"

"Fine, deal."

Then came silence. The deal was sealed, Len and I totally had no say in it. Great. I cursed deep in my heart. Now, how am I going to guard him if those two red/pink haired people are stopping me from following Len around? Wait, didn't I say earlier that I wanted to give them private space? Why am I so contradictory? The door then opened, and "unveiled" the pink-haired male.

"So you heard everything?" He asked me. I nodded hesitantly. He smiled and continued, "I like you, would you be my girlfriend?" His face turned a shade redder as I gulped and stared at his eyes questioningly. I like him, yup, but only as a friend. Moreover, I was a doll. Dolls and humans can never be together. It just... It just didn't fit. I shook my head slightly in reply. He didn't seem to see it, or maybe saw it, but decided to pretend that he didn't see it. Anyway, it didn't matter to me. We were late for lessons... I grabbed his wrist and ran up the stairs.

Len P.O.V

My vision slowly cleared. Teto was looking at me, her eyelids heavy. I realised I was in the sick bay again... Let's see... I remembered chasing after Rin, I remembered her running towards me... What else? Nothing else. Great. I saw Teto sitting beside me, her eyes heavily lidded, head resting on her palm. "Hey Teto," I poked her arm. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Teto, why are you here?" I continued, concerned. She was skipping classes, because of me...

"Ah Len, you're awake..." She mumbled. "I'm sorry, I fell asleep so... What do you want? Um, I'll get some water for you." Her eyes were wide open and alert now. She stood up and got ready to leave.

"Wait Teto," I grabbed her arm, still in my reclined position. She blushed. I realised what I was doing and blushed too. "Um sorry..." I rubbed my nose, coughing lightly to ease the awkward situation. "How long did I stay unconscious?" I asked. The school bell, signalling that school was ending sounded. The only thing, or person, on my mind then was Rin. I ran towards the classroom, leaving Teto behind once again. But what I saw made me stop short in my tracks.

Rin, Luki, Miku, Mikuo and many other classmates were sitting together in a cluster, chatting and laughing happily. What really angered me was Luki's arm. His hand was on Rin's shoulder, hugging her close to him. My chest felt weird. Seeing Luki around Rin just made me uncomfortable, and I didn't like it.

"Haha, and the best thing was that Len didn't realise it!" Luki yelled and rolled over in laughter. It suddenly stopped short. He had finally noticed my presence. Miku stared at me with raised eyebrows, Mikuo pressed his lips together tightly while Rin stood up, inching towards me. Luki pulled her back, his brows knitted together in frustration. Something snapped within me. I flared up and pried Luki's hand away from Rin's wrist, dragging her home.
