Sorry for the wait! Have been preparing for tests lately… :( Now on with chapter 11~!

Warning: None.

Disclaimer: Na-da.

Rin ignored the meaningful glances casted her way; she didn't even want to be bothered by those unimportant people. Right now, the most important and the most disturbing fact is that…

Killua is even more beautiful than her, and guess what? He's a guy. Cool eh?

Not.

She rubbed the non-stop falling tears on her cheeks as she ran, her short strawberry blonde hair swishing around. She did not know where she was going, not that when her mind itself is a mental chaos block of meat already.

She was in total oblivion when she ran into someone, the impact pushing both the victims onto the cold hard floor. Rin instinctively muttered a sorry, but nonetheless, her tears didn't stop.

"Rin? What happened? Why are you crying?"

The tears finally stopped flowing when she heard the comforting voice ranging opposite of her. She snapped her head up so fast she could practically hear her bone cracked.

"Lu-Luffy?"

Luffy was very alarmed when he saw the teary face of Rin, well you couldn't blame him though. He does not know any girl knowledge, and how to handle an emotionally unstable girl in his case. And so, he was stunned in his position when Rin suddenly sprang into his flailing arms, wailing and finally letting out her bottled up emotions.

Luffy could nothing but to pat her head and comfort her.

"Have you calmed down?"

The childhood friends duo was now on the rooftop, as they would have more private space up there.

Rin sniffed as she wiped away the last tear. "Yeah… Much better. Thanks Luffy."

"Don't worry, what are friends for? So tell me, what had happened?"

His question made Rin hesitate, pondering on the different possibilities of reactions if she told him the truth.

If I said that I cried because of Killua's beauty, he would think that I am crybaby that cries over trivial matters. In addition, he would even look for Killua to see him in his dress. If that happens…No! I will not tolerate anybody trying to snatch my Luffy!

"It was…Killua." Well partially of the truth anyway. "He…said mean things to me."

Luffy in that instant looked doubtful, which made Rin trembling in fear if Luffy found out the real truth. So she decided to take things to the next step.

"He…told me to scram back to my old school, and never step into this school again. When I asked why, he gave me the menacing look and sneered: "Well duh, because Luffy's mine.""

Rin was inwardly celebrating when her words seemed to have an effect on Luffy, but he still looked puzzled nonetheless.

"Why would he say that? How could I be his?"

Rin wanted to slap some common sense into the nuthead of his, but miraclely refrained from doing so. She further explained with some fake sniffing, "It should be obvious Luffy. He likes you."

At this instant, Luffy's both cheeks coloured a crimson red, steam coming out from his nose and ears. Rin watched this scene in disbelief.

Don't tell me…that it was actually the other way round? Oh my freaking god.

Now that she knew she was in love with a gay childhood friend, that did not stop her unwavering feelings for Luffy. When they were younger, Luffy always took good care of her, defending her when she was bullied…He was seen as the ideal man for her.

So she absolutely could not sit by and do nothing as her love was being taken away…

"Ah wait. I don't think it was the case. You see, Killua and you only befriended each other for a few months…To talk about love, it's impossible."

Luffy's face immediately became crest-fallen, his eyes seeming to lose his usual energy. Although Rin had hurt her beloved, she believed it was the right thing to do…To prevent an outsider from invading their little happy world.

Back in Killua's classroom, Killua had already changed back to his school uniform. The other guys in his class seemed to groan in disappointment when they seen the beautiful and elegant girl disappearing.

Although Killua had been very embarrassed to wear that gothic outfit, it was satisfying when he saw the stunned look on Hintsu's usual arrogant face. He could not help but to rub salt into her wounds. Bad boy I know, but that's what makes Killua an interesting person don't you think?

"So vice chairman, does my changeover satisfy your tastes? I bet that my appearance had not disappoint your expectations in me being the emo gothic girl, right?"

Hinatsu gave a defeated glare, her fists balling up in pure rage. But she was a person of honesty, so her words startled Killua very much so.

"I must admit though, you looked good in that dress. But it must be due to my super instinctive fashion taste to put you in that role. Be grateful for that, young man."

Killua chuckled when he heard the second part of her small little I-refused-to-admit-defeat speech, and thanked her with sarcasm, "Well, thank you then."

"You better be." Was her retort as she tried to stalk off proudly with her dignity intact.

So how's the chapter? I am sort of getting writer's block of this story…but I will finish what I created. :) Review then, until the next time, adieu~
