Happy New Year! This is the last chapter, and I hope you all enjoyed the story.


Rin's POV

Mrs. Kagamine was silent for a moment, and her husband was now standing behind her. She was staring at Len with wide eyes, as if she didn't believe what I just said. But slowly, she out the pieces together in her mind.

"L-Len?" Mrs. Kagamine stammered, taking a step closer to her son. Len had stood up too, and he had small tears at the corners of his eyes.

"Mother," Len smiled. His mother ran forward and held her son in a tight embrace. Mrs. Kagamine was sobbing, and Len was crying a bit too. Mr. Kagamine joined the hug, tears in his eyes. Despite the crying, I knew they were all happy.

After a few minutes, the crying had stopped. Mrs. Kagamine wanted to know how I had found her son. Here I found myself with a dilemma. How would Len's parents react to what I had to tell them? Their son was a gambler. How could any parent take that easily? Not to mention that my parents would be furious if they found out I took a secret trip to the city.

I looked at Len for help, and he nodded. He wanted them to know. Carefully, I explained the story to everyone. When I finished, Mr. and Mrs. Kagamine didn't seem to care that Len had spent the last three years in a casino. They were only happy to be with him again.

Even mother and father weren't furious with me. They believed I had done a good thing, and that without lying, this miracle wouldn't have happened. Mrs. Kagamine started to cry again, and Len was right beside her. The maids came in with our desserts, but were politely asked to leave.

After a few more minutes of a happy reunion, Mr. Kagamine decided it was best to go home. He, his wife, and Len walked out the door, all of them smiling. As they left, I felt a strange sensation. It felt like I had found something that I had lost a long time ago. Something that was very precious to me.

After the Kagamines left, I went to bed. As I lay down, I wondered how I was going to tell this news to Miku and Kaito. It'll all have to wait until tomorrow. My head rested on my pillow, and I felt myself drift off into sleep.

*TIME SKIP: The next morning*

The next day's morning was uneventful. Mother and father had slept in because they were tired from last night's events. I had woken up a bit early and decided that I would make my own breakfast.

After a short meal, I went upstairs and decided to take a walk. A walk might be refreshing and help clear my mind. There were lots of thoughts and emotions that were troubling me, and a walk might help me sort them out.

From the looks of it, the weather was nice again, so a sundress might be appropriate. I grabbed a pale orange dress, with a white ribbon around the waist out of my closet. I put on the dress, and tied my ribbon in my hair. After slipping my shoes on, I decided to head outside.

The breeze was calm, and everything was peaceful. Life felt more complete. Maybe because Len was back everything felt better. I walked quietly, as I passed the Kagamine mansion. Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name.

"Rin!" I watched as ran towards me from his front door. "Wait up!" I stopped, and waited for him to catch up.

"Can I walk with you?" he asked. I nodded, and the two of us walked back towards my house.

"How's it to be back home?" I asked.

"It's certainly different," Len smiled. "And can you believe it? My room is exactly the same as it was when I was twelve." He started to laugh, and I couldn't help but giggle too. The two of us arrived back at my house, and I was about to walk back inside.

"Wait," Len said. "I want to tell you something." He grabbed my hand, and pulled me into my backyard. He sat down behind a small bush, and I sat alongside him.

"Do you remember this?" Len asked.

"The most embarrassing game of hide and seek ever," I smiled. "How could I forget? Now, what did you want to tell me?"

"I wanted to say thank you," Len said. "For everything." I felt myself blush a bit, but now I felt no shame. The boy sitting in front of me wasn't some sleazy gambler. He was a kind, smart boy who I had missed for three long years,

"There's also something else I wanted to tell you," Len said, a bit quieter. His cheeks were also a slight red. "I really missed you when I was in the casino. I didn't think about any other girl, despite the stories people made up about me. You were the only one on my mind for those three years." I felt myself turn even redder.

"So I wanted to give you this." I felt something against my lips, and was surprised to see it was Len. He was kissing me! I didn't pull back though. I was experiencing the most wonderful thing in the world. It was happiness and love all rolled into one. Len pulled away and gave me a smile.

"I never stopped loving you," Len said. "Not once."

"Me neither," I smiled back. I didn't bother to include the 48 hours when I thought Len was a disgusting jerk. Those hours were unimportant now. Len and I were smiling at each other like fools, when there was a sudden rustling.

"Found you!" A voice yelled from nowhere. Len and I both were surprised to see Miku and Kaito standing in front of the bush.

"News sure travels fast doesn't it?" Miku laughed. I noticed she was holding Kaito's hand. Did I miss something?

"Anyways glad to have you back," Miku smiled. "Just don't act like an idiot like before, okay?"

"And stay away from Miku," Kaito joked, though there was some seriousness to his warning. Len and I stood up, smiling. Here we all were, together again. It was like an old memory had found a way to become new again.

For a moment, I thought about the adventure Len had brought to me. One full of tricks that took place in a casino. I suppose I should thank the casino. Even though it's a disgusting place, it saved Len. Who knows what would have happened to Len without that casino? Without it, none of this would be possible.

I felt Len grip my hand, and smile at me. It was a radiant and bright smile. My whole world seemed to shine at that moment and everything perfect. Not just for me, but for everyone.

Thank you, you trickery casino.
