Author's notes: Welcome back my lovey reader! I bring to you, Chapter 10! I kind of feel bad for taking some time, but this chapter was sort of bothering me. I feel that is was too rushed, but after a few edits I was like "hmm, think this is the best I'm going to get." So yeah.

On the bright side, I have two more days of finals and then I'm home free! Which translates to more chapters! Woot!

To Reviewer: I appreciate all the help I can get lol but I understand you have other things you have to do :) went back and fixed the mistakes lol I really should grow a pair and ask a beta for help, but honestly, I am scared.

Disclaimer: I no own any form of Vocaloid!

ONWARD WITH LE STORY!

[Edited]

Cleaning up after a group of people is never "a walk in the park". Especially when a few of those people include messy individuals such as Piko and Kaito. It's like they learned their table manners from animals.

So once Rin and Len had finished cleaning up in the kitchen, they plopped their tired bodies onto the comfort of Rin's bed. She did feel a little strange when Len grabbed her blankets and pillows to adjust them to his liking, but was way too tired mentally and physically protest.

But being the gentlemen he was, Len sat up as he leaned his back against the wall, leaving a generous amount of room for Rin to use. He looked up at her with a tiny grin and patted the empty space on the bed.

With heavy bags under her eyes, Rin hesitantly climbed onto the bed and sat up against the wall as well. An awkward silence was met as the two siblings sat side by side.

After a few moments, Len broke the silence.

"So I had a good time today. Your friends are interesting." She scoffed.

"You don't even know the half of it. I can tell you that it's hardly ever boring around them."

"Ha ha, yeah…I mean Gumi and Piko are eccentric, Teto is nice, kind of rude but, whatever."

"Heh, yeah. They are." She said softly and fondly.

"…Oliver seems pretty nice too…" A hint of jealously coiled in his tone.

"Oh…yeah. I mean I wouldn't date a jerk, now would I?" her nerves becoming jittery

"I'm sure. It is a shame I'll never like him."

Rin was at lost for words.

'The hell? How can he be so blunt about his dislike for him?' she thought as she arched a blonde brow. She had a hunch he didn't like him. Why would he? He was the object of her affection, whilst Len was her previous.

"P-Playing protective brother are we Len? I guess I can see why siblings would be…skeptical of their sibling's mate. Because they want them to end up with the best possible person, right?"

"Well yeah, there's that, and the fact that he has taken the love of my life from my grasp." He said nonchalantly.

Rin felt the pits of her stomach tighten, her body became much more alert. The oh-so dreaded topic found itself at the center of their attention.

"Len...please…I thought we were past all that…"She whispers as she carefully voices her words.

Len chuckled darkly. "Rinny, don't kid yourself. I know you felt it too."

Of course she knew what he was referring to. That feeling of synchronization. When the pieces of the puzzle fit. The fireworks that ignite that eternal flame that only they could conjure within one another.

But she chose to play it dumb.

"Felt what?!" Her voice begins reaching a higher octave as she speaks.

"That spark. That feeling. That bond that only you and I can obtain when we're together."

Her heart fluttered wildly at each term he spoke. He spoke them with such confidence and sincerity.

"But it was wrong, Len-kun. We can't have those type of feelings towards each other. Not again. It was just a horrible mixture of hormones and curiosity that we foolishly let get the best of us." She say firmly, as if she is convincing not only him.

Her words did not cause the desired effects, because Len knew they were empty.

She slid her eyes shut. Trying to hold back tears as they danced behind her eyelids

"Rin…" his whisper much more closely to her now. Timidly, she opened her eyes to see his face only a few inches from hers, her cheeks quickly becoming flushed.

Her body trembled when his long fingers brushed her skin. He cupped her face gently into his hands, sliding his thumbs under her eyes to dispose of her tears. With a quick inhale and a lick of his lips, he pressed his mouth over hers.

A few moments of confusion rattled at Rin's mind before she registered what was happening. Without her permission, her hands found themselves clutching his shirt roughly.

Len took the lead as he began to move his lips against hers. With a clouded mind, Rin was running on impulse and instinct. So she began moving her lips against his as well.

His hands trailed down her face to her waist, his grip hard and protective. Rin released his shirt and burrowed her fingers to the nap of his head.

His tongue fiercely pushed past her soft lips to lap with her tongue. Their breathing became harsher as their kiss became determined to fulfill the passion and need that they both craved.

Her fingers slipped into his magnificent blond head of hair. Len's iron grip on her waist pulled her entire body back against the bed, briefly breaking the kiss. He then rested his knees on the sides of her hips.

Once her head hit the pillows, her mind broke free of the fog of lust and desire. She shoved back at his body just as he was about to capture her lips once more. Her breathing ragged and shallow.

"Can't do it. Not again," she said between deep intakes of air.

Oxygen started filling his lungs once more, leaving him more level-headed. But this did not mean he was giving up so easily.

He let her calm herself before making his statement.

"Rin, I know you think you love this Oliver guy. But we both know you two don't share what we have. Which is why I am here. In simple terms, I'm here to reclaim my other half." He gritted his teeth in frustration.

"I can't…I need you. We've been apart too long. It literally hurts to be away from you. Don't you ache as well?" Rin gulped down her response. Len stared intensely at her.

"So to see you show…interest in this guy is unacceptable. But I understand it. You wanted to replace me. But my silly Rinny-chan," Len stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. "Our love can't fade."

"If I have to fight for you, then so be it. I won't rest till you are by my side again."

His words were like shards of glass to her soul. She knew he meant every word. She could not deny that she wanted to happily live her life by his side again, but she had to stand her ground.

Because now she was not only living for herself, she lived for her family of misfits. More importantly, she now had a flag planted in Oliver's heart. She can't just throw away all that she built for herself, even if it was for her "soul mate".

She had to think rationally about this. What scared her is how easily her body and mind surrendered to him just by simple touches and words.

As if demonstrating her current point, Len laced his fingers through hers, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"I know this is a lot to take in, so I'll be going to bed now." He chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, I'll be good tonight and sleep on the couch." He then rose off her bed. He turned to her before exiting her room.

"Get some rest. I know you'll be stubborn about my motives and fight back. That's how you always were. But keep in mind how selfish and determined I can be when it comes to you." Backflashes of Len beating up bullies, crushes and such glided over her thoughts, causing her to shudder.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Rinny." He says as he exit her room, leaving behind a stunned and overwhelmed Rin.

She felt so exposed. He could read as if she were like a book. As though he was the creator of that book and decided to make her life spiral out of control again. She almost felt defeated. Almost.

Rin thought of the faces of her friends. She wrapped herself in fond memories of them and her. Doing so had her feel as though she was escaping the reality that plagued her. But this proven not so effective when logic sat in.

Why was she full of fear? Well, she had just spent years of doing "damage control" to reduce the fire she felt for her twin. But all that work was being undone by his very hands. She hated that a person besides herself had that much power over her state of mind.

Her heart told her to stop being impossible. For her to reconnect her heart with its matching counterpart. But her mind was saying "why should you become a mindless, love-struck girl and destroy all you had built for yourself? Do you want to act like logic and consequences do not exist?"

Her entire being said "Hell yes, god, let me finally be in bliss once more." But her stubborn mind sucker punched her with the memory of the disappointed faces of her parents as a reminder of the last time she let loose. Oh, all the pain she has caused them

She can't cause that same pain to her new little family. Especially Oliver. She actually liked him a great amount. What would they do if they found out their best friend of five years has been harboring a forbidden love for her own brother? What would Oliver do if he knew that her heart was never fully there for him, but lied with her own twin? She trembled at the thought of how disgusted they would be with her.

For the first time ever, a disturbing thought crossed her mind. Has she built this life on lies?

They all deserved better. She did not want to begin to think of what they would do it they knew the truth in all its glory. She would lose everything. Her friends, Oliver; whom she grown so attached too, and the man who held her heart in his palms; Len.

Kwwwaaaah! So there you have it. Like I said, it just felt rushed. And the dialogue! ugh! who wrote this shit?...oh right

Maybe one day when I have absolutely nothing to do with my time, and am feeling creative, I'll come back and rewrite all the ditzy spots of the story. Till then, I give you my raw given creation lol

So yeah! Rin is going to try and stand her ground! I felt like I made Len a tad bit yandere there for a sec. AS much as I love RinXLen, I wanted Rin to have a realistic response to all this and I hope I captured that.

Hopefully the next chapter will be better. Haven't gotten any idea what it will be about, but it will come to me! Do not fret!

Thanks for the read! Review on your way out, por favor! Till next time.
