Heh, sorry for the late chapter, I was working on my other story... It's not very popular and there is only one view for that story so far... But since there are still readers, I'm gonna continue that story, so please go and read it too... It's called The dream of the village... And yup, presenting the long-awaited chapter 10...

Len P.O.V

I pushed her onto the couch. "Rin, please, please don't go out with Luki..." I literally begged. She stood up almost immediately, slapping me on the face. I sensed the anger in her. Just as I was rubbing my cheek, she pushed me hard onto the ground and kicked me on my stomach. I winced in pain as she stomped into her room. "Rin..." I called, but to no avail. I regretted my actions there and then. I sat up and leant against the wall beside the door of her room, as I rubbed the part of my stomach where she kicked. It hurt...

Ring...

Well, my handphone rang. I picked it up. It was Teto. She was irritating. No, she was extremely irritating!

"Yes Teto?" I tried to sound as patient as possible. She screeched into the phone. I hung up. Sometimes it was just needed to show her my attitude. I was evidently losing patience with her. The door swung open. I raised my head, coming face-to-face with two blue orbs boring into me, with no sign of expressions or whatsoever. I shuddered, as apologies streamed out of my mouth, one after an other, in different languages.

"Rin, I'm sorry, gomenasai, maaf, 对不起, I couldn't control my temper... I'm so sorry, please forgive me..." I tried standing up, but she only pushed be back into sitting position.

"Shut up," She whispered as a box dropped onto my lap. It was a box of painkillers. "Eat a pill. No more, no less." She slammed the door in my face just as I was about to thank her. My handphone rang again. Teto's phone number appeared on the screen. Not again?! I threw my phone toward the other end of the hall. It crashed into the wall before smashing onto the floor. The ringing stopped instantly. I smiled in contempt. Seemed like I had to buy another phone...

The door opened again as Rin walked towards the destroyed phone, picked it up, walked towards me and dropped the phone onto my lap. My eyes nearly popped out of my eye sockets. What the hell was she trying to do? "Rin..." I started, raising one of my arms. She cut me off with the sound of wooden doors shutting. Great. I was officially crossed out of Rin's "people to listen and talk to" list. The dejected feeling of mama leaving me came back and I found myself crying again. I admitted it long ago. Mama was my weak spot. I would always cry when I thought of her.

A tissue box fell to my side. I ignored it and continued crying. "Your mama, haunting you again with memories?" It was Rin's voice. She took a piece to tissue and hugged me, wiping tears off my face at the same time. "Don't cry, tell me what happened..." She said soothingly, calming me by a great deal. Teto would never be able to this. She didn't understand me enough, unlike Rin. I poured out all my feelings, tears flowing out hard and fast. Rin listened quietly as she slowly wiped some of my tears away...

Rin P.O.V

Seriously, what's gotten into me? I'm supposed to ignore him! Why am I listening to him cry now? I'm supposed to be angry! Why do I always soften when that soft Len cries? I can never stand it when boys cry... Why am I putting up with it now? I felt like ripping myself apart as Len sobbed in the background of my thoughts. I wasn't really listening to him; I was too preoccupied.

"... Promise me you will never leave me, no matter what happens?" I found myself nodding absentmindedly. "Pinky?" Crap. What did I just promise him? I locked my pinky with his anyway... I made a mental note to obey whatever he says from now on... It's not good to break a promise, and I suspect that that promise had something to do with my obedience. I patted his back, giving him assurance.

He drew a deep breath and stood up, gritting his teeth as he did so. I rushed over to help him up. He blushed lightly and muttered a word of thanks. I nodded in reply. There was a moment of silence between the two of us, when suddenly, the phone rang. I ran to pick it up. "Rin?" The voice was Luki's.

"Who's that?" Len asked casually. I covered the mouthpiece and told Len that it was Luki. His expression changed almost instantly, as if he was jealous, about something...

"Hello, did you receive the note I put into your bag?" I was snapped out of my thoughts by Luki. Oh, the note. He asked me to be his girlfriend and move to his house, instead of staying with Len. Come to think of it, I really wonder where he got the phone number from...

"Um sorry Luki, that's impossible, I mean, I have my difficulties too..." I glanced over to Len. He was biting his lower lip, immersed in his own thoughts.

"What kind of difficulties? Is Len grounding you at home? Who are you to him? He like Teto, not you. Why are you still so faithful to him?" Unknown to me, Len had pressed the speaker button, and heard everything Luki said. He clenched his right hand and snatched the mouthpiece from me with his left.

"Hi Luki, Len Kagamine here. I'm telling you that I'm not grounding Rin at home, I don't like that irritating drill, I don't give a shit about her, and Rin is mine. How I treat her is none of your business. You know what happens if you snatch your classmate's girlfriend, eh?" Len said into the phone, his words oozing with sarcasm. It is a wonder, to see how fast Len's mood changes... One moment he was crying, the next moment he was as cool as a cucumber, able to form such sarcastic sentences that were able to hurt others without seeming to.

Then, came the mechanic beeping of the phone. Luki hung up. I thanked Len, with as much sincerity I could express. Len only blushed harder, his hand scratching the back of his head. Well, so far, their plan hadn't succeeded. God knows what they would do to separate the two of us...
