Chapter 10-Slowly Unraveling

About a million times Rin tried to speak to Luka, and about a million times Luka refused to say anything.

Rin made a bento lunchbox with all of Luka's favorites in the hopes that she'd forgive her, but that did not work out to well. Mainly because of the fact that over half of the food were either overcooked, undercooked, or appeared to be inedible. The only thing that was well-done was the store-bought sushi. (Rin accidentally left the price tag in it, which plainly gave it away.)

Another attempt was to keep poking her and see if she'd at least acknowledge her presence. Luka did, in fact, acknowledge her presence, but not in the way Rin had planned. Because of her slightly short-temper, and because Rin was annoying the heck out of her, Luka ended up whacking the back of her head with a rubbery replica of a tuna fish. And a big one at that. And only God knows where she keeps the thing, let alone why she had it with her in the first place.

By 2 p.m., Rin became very desperate. So, desperate, she was willing to go on her hands and knees and beg. It goes to show that even people like Kagamine Rin can lose hope all too quickly every once in a while. She was forced to flee to her very last retort. So crazy, so extreme, so utterly outrageous, she couldn't believe she would even go there. Ask Len. Yes, the mere thought pained her so.

Now, it was after school, and Luka was seated under that same pine tree she was underneath of when this incident stared.

"Luka—"

"For the last time, Rin, stop begging. I'm still not gonna talk to you."

"—san…"

Luka deadpanned. Oh, crud.

She turned from the view of the sky to see Len standing behind her, pointer finger outreached, suggesting he was about to tap her shoulder.

"Oh, Len, it's you. Sorry," she said, laughing nervously.

Len dropped his hand to his side and put on a small grin. "It's alright." He then began to drum his fingers together. He seemed a bit frantic. Luka wouldn't blame him, though, seeing as they never really socialized and hangout much together. If they did, Rin or Teto is usually around.

"Did you need something? Len?"

"Um, yeah. I just wanted to talk to you about a few things," he replied, sitting down beside her.

"Rin sent you, right?"

Len tried searching in his mind for something, anything, as some type of decent cover-up, but it was in vain, so he decided to just give up. "Yes, she did. She says she's sorry and didn't mean to make you mad and had no real intention of spilling untruthful things to Teto-chan and she admits she's wrong for—"

"Len, please, breathe in between your words," Luka interrupted, effectively cutting him off.

"Heheh, sorry. Got carried away…"he muttered, laughing, more to him. "But she really is sorry."

Luka smiled a warm smiled. "I can't hold out much longer. I'll forgive her."

Len wore a befuddled expression. "You were acting that way on purpose?"

"Well, it didn't start out that way. But it got pretty amusing after a while, so, yeah. Oh, and tell her I'm sorry for bruising her head with that rubber tuna."

"Sure thi—wait, what?"

"Don't ask."

Len raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

"What was the other thing?" Luka asked, changing the topic.

"Wha'?"

"You said you wanted to ask me about a few things, didn't you?"

"Oh, right." He paused, staring up at the sky for at the sky for a moment before continuing. "I want talk to you about Kaito."

Luka's cheeks reddened instantaneously at the mention of his name.

One of my least favorite subjects…

Len noticed the blushing but did not acknowledge it. Instead, he went on. "You say you 'just met him', but I don't really think so," he began. "You guys seem to have met sometime before, right? And a few days ago, on Sunday, both of you shouted 'it's you' when meeting each other. Why is that?"

Honestly, Luka was a bit dumbfounded. She hadn't the slightest clue that Len was paying that much attention to her. But something as such was certainly not unexpected. After all, Len was the more thoughtful, generous, honest, trustworthy, etc., twin, as opposed to Rin's conniving, evil, sneaky, demanding personality. Of course, she had some good and worthwhile qualities, but that was not the point. The point was, Len was a really great friend that actually cared and in a not-so-violent way, unlike some people…

Moving on to the subject at hand…

Luka stared at Len, and he stared back, waiting for some sort of response.

"Well, I, uh, we, um, it was…"

Formulating a proper sentence was suddenly becoming awfully difficult, and for reasons not understood.

Len smirked, amused at this. "You know you don't have to tell me. I was just curious. I understand if you don't want to talk about it."

A great friend, indeed.

"It's alright," said Luka. She took a deep breath to try and calm herself as well as the rapid thumping of her heart. Her face has returned to its normal color by now.

"You're right. We have met before," she began. Len listened intently. "Like two or three weeks ago. I wasn't in a very cheery mood. Well, I never really was at that time." Len opened his mouth, most likely to ask something, but Luka cut him off before he was able to say anything. "I don't really wanna talk about it." Len nodded, understanding. She proceeded. "I was just sitting down near the bank of the lake reminiscing about…a few things, and he happened to walk by. He just stopped and stared at me for a while. Kinda creeped me out a but, though. Then he asked if I was alright and offered me ice…cream…."Luka stopped herself, smiling like an idiot.

Len raised an eyebrow. "What?"

Luka placed a palm on her forehead, shaking her head left and right, smiling. "I just realize now how crazy that sounded," she answered, dangerously close to seeping into a giggle fit.

Len smiled along with her. Why? He had no idea. It seemed laughs aren't the only contagious things in this world.

Luka finally began to calm down, so Len took that opportunity to ask questions. "Did anything else happen?"

Luka shook her head. "Not much. We talked a bit, but then I told him I had to go. He did get me out of my gloomy mood, though."

Len laid his back against the lush green grassy ground. "Hm…"

"What is it?" Luka asked.

"Be completely honest, Luka-san," he replied.

"Okay."

"Do you possible like Kaito-san more than just a friend?" he asked.

Luka's face heated up for the second time that day, for that question was neither expected, nor a comfortable one.

"D-did Kaito send you or something?" Crap, I'm stuttering!

"No," he replied. "I'm actually doing him a favor he doesn't know about. He's too oblivious to realize his surroundings. I don't thing he even realizes that he likes you."

"W-what?" she stuttered in disbelief.

"He does, trust me, I know. You'd be surprised at what I can figure out. By the way, have you picked a song yet for try-outs?" Len asked out of the blue. Luka was quite grateful he did, though. The topic was getting to be awkward. It was much too much information to grasp all at once.

"Not yet," she answered. "You?"

"Yeah. Me and Rin finally agreed on Melt." He stood up. "I gotta go now. Oh, and just so you know, Luka-san, try-outs start tomorrow. Well, see ya'." He ran across the field and to the opened back entrance of the school building. Luka stared at his back the entire time until he was out of sight.

"Try-outs are tomorrow? Isn't that on Thursday?" she asked herself, musing. "It's…Wednesday, so…"

Oh, joy.

Luka got up and ran towards the back entrance to get her schoolbag out of the unoccupied math classroom, which was, unfortunately, upstairs. Running was a bit of a pain, and for countless reasons. She clutched the bag and walked out of the classroom.

"Bara makareta PIECE hiroi [Picking up the pieces scattered around]"

Luka stopped in her tracks. She heard a voice, obviously male, singing. And a very dreamy voice it was. But where was it coming from? She walked on, more slowly this time, in search of this 'mysterious voice.' She passed the science room, art room, Home EC room, and stopped at Music Room 2. Loud music was playing from the slightly ajar door. She peeked inside.

"Owari no naki toki no naka de [In the endless flow of time] Eien ni utai tsuzuke you~[Let's continue to sing forever~]"

"Exceptional work, Kaito-san!" Yowane-sensei praised.

"Thank you," Kaito beamed.

Luka's jaw dropped. No way.

"Kaito can really sing?!" she said, a little louder then intended.

Both heads turned towards the door, but Luka was already gone. Yowane-sensei opened the door all the way, and look down both ends of the hall, Kaito looking over her shoulder.

"Hm…odd," she murmured.

Luka was laying on her bed in her room, homework done early, for once, and thinking of a suitable song to sing. She made a list of any possible song, but some wore duets, others were didn't her pitch or was not to her liking, and the rest were a bit….inappropriate to sing at school.

She trapped her pink pen rhythmically on her chin, searching her mind for something suitable. After a while, her eyes lingered around her room for no apparent reason. Every now and then, that same envelope caught her attention. As mush as she wanted to ignore the useless object, she couldn't. Boredum took over her mind. She went over to the bedside table and picked it up. Dust was gathered on it's surface. She gently blew the dust off, causing dust particles to float around in the air. She examined the envelope for a second time, but, this time, searched the inside. Nothing unusual…except of a thin strand of pink hair caught under the folded brown-stained paper.

"Huh, weird. How'd my hair get in there?"

There was a knock on the door. Luka turned to see Meiko at the doorway. "Wha'cha' doin'?"

"Nothing. Just thinking of a song to sing at try-outs. It's hard, though. Oh, and a found this," she lifted up the hair strand so Meiko can see, "pink hair in the envelope. Isn't that weird?"

Meiko's face automatically went taut .

"Meiko? Something wrong?"

Meiko changed her expression quickly, and laughing in an uneasy manner.

"Eheh…Don't worry about me!"

"Okay…" Luka replied, slightly suspicious.

"I-I'll go make dinner, now!" Meiko left the room all to quickly for reasons unknown.

Luka stared at the pink strand some more, then set it down, along with the envelope, back on the bedside table. While doing this, she beamed as an idea came into mind.

"That's it! I finally thought of something!"

She jumped on her bed and took hold of the abandoned pen and paper, and scribbled down the lyrics. Once completed, she looked over them, satisfied. She cleared her throat, paper at hand, and begun to practice.

"Ah~ Nagarete yuku jaguchi no mizu [Ah, water is flowing from the faucet] Sono hoka niwa koe mo naku [I can't hear anything else but it's sound]"

Yes, the perfect song to sing.

Elsewhere…

"Come on, hurry! We'll miss your flight!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming. What did you pack in these things?"

"All my necessities."

Two males were walking through an airport, going through a mass of people. The noise level matched that of an ideal lunchroom of a grade school. One of them, the male with silver locks, was carrying about 6-8 luggage and bags, most of which weren't his. The other was ahead of him, coaxing him to move faster.

"This is ridiculous," the silver-haired one muttered under his breath, intense red eyes glaring at the other male.

"Oh, stop complaining."

"I would if I had some help!!"

Ding. "Flight A28 is leaving for Tokyo in 20 minutes. Last call for Flight A28."

"That's our flight! Come on, let's go," he said, running off.

"Oh, come on!" he yelled after him. He sighed. "Guess I'm on my own."

On the Plane…

Blue eyes stared out the small window, admiring the glistening of the ocean below.

He whispered softly to himself, "I'm coming for you, Luka."
