"Rin, are you okay?"
"Yeah...Just a bad dream, okay?"
"it didn't sound like just a dream. At the end you were screaming my name as if you were in pain. What did I do?"
"I just saw you with...some one else..."
"Now tell me little bird, who else would I need?"
"I don't know. "
Len smirked and raised his hand to my chin, gently touching me, as if I were glass. "I love you."
I wanted so badly to say I love you too...the words rose and burned my tongue. My teeth wanted to give way but I knew better. Swallowing down bile, I answered "I love you too."
He smiled at me and gently kissed my lips. He wanted to pull away all but too quickly for me. I grabbed him by the shirt and kissed him roughly at first, growing softer over time. He pulled away and I allowed him to. "Some one's been holding something in for a while."
"That noticeable huh?"
"Yeah." I stood up and walked around the small space to find the kitchen. The clock on the oven said 12:30. I looked out the small window only to see that the sky didn't want to agree with the time. I sighed and checked around for something to eat.
"What do you propose we eat for breakfast?"
"Oh, I don't know...what've we got?"
"Nothing." Len got up and joined me, hugging me from behind.
"In that case, " He let go of me and walked over to the bathroom, "we go out."
"To the store?"
"If you want." We went to the store, easy enough. Coming back, though, was the dozy.
We put away the last of the stock. "We have enough to last a while."
"Good." Len closed the door and put the key in and locked it. Which has become common practice for us. I mean, you would too when you're A) Wanted by the government for spying B) wanted by two different spy agencies. One of which, the head hates you on a personal level for stealing her son and for taking the thing she wanted from you. The other would like to have you back but in the same instant killed for falling for an enemy. C) Don't even get me started on the crew. They'd have me tortured and skinned alive. So yeah...we take safety seriously here. Or so we thought.
I unloaded the last bag of fruit gummies and Gushers. After doing so I decided to go to the bedroom and see if the sheets needed to be washed. I opened the white door, instantly the metallic, nostalgic taste of blood hit the back of my throat. Looking at the bed I saw the red. Well, the sheets will definitely need to be cleaned now.
Alert, I walked deeper into the room. On the other side of the bed laid my ex best friend, AI. Her long blonde hair still had in her now bloodied hair bows. Her lgs were in a black stocking to go against the yellow dress she wore. Layered yellow dress. I smiled, that was my AI, always fashionable. But don't let the cute look distract you, the yellow dress was designed to kill. When she pun around, daggers would come out from under her layered dress. The layers only hid the weapon.
Shock stunned me almost instantly. How did she get here? Why is she here? How did she find us? Was she angry at me? The worst one of them all, who killed her and when. Tears stung my eyes for mere seconds before I detached myself.
Before you say anything about dehumanizing myself, let me tell you now just how necessary this is. If you allow your weakness to show, you're dead meat.
Unwilling to show anything, shaking I walked into the kitchen where Len now stood. "L-l-len..." I cleared my seemingly expanding throat. Salt filled my mouth.
"What is it?" Concern showed in the eyes that i knew so well now. I thought of AI. Her killer must be skilled as she was one of our top agents, he probably still is here. Before I could answer Len, we heard a high pitched scream coming from outside. Miku.
Acting on impulse I grabbed a kitchen knife and followed the wails.
Between apartments buildings, Miku was pinned against my building by a man of whom I did not recognize. He had on a robe. Strong arms and held a Samurai sword in a bloodied sheath. Long purple hair. I readied my knife, and slowly walked up to this man.
Rage and hate were second felt. Instinct and skill lead me now, no emotion could cloud my mind at that moment. As I got close enough to stab, I instead, choose to throw the knife hard and quick into his back.
Talk about stabbing a friend in the back huh?
He turned, my aim hit his stomach instead. His, or her, robe fell revealing a pair of small breasts. Small but there. I watched as the enemy fell and made no other hesitation to grab Miku and ran. Looking down at her face, I saw how bruised and beaten she was. "It's okay to be okay." I whispered in her ear. She nodded. I slowed as I went into the stairs and into our apartment. I laid Miku down on the couch. Len looked to me, understanding. From his eyes I could see that he had seen AI.
He gabbed a kitchen knife and stood by the door, I picked Miku back up and took her into the bathroom, starting a bath. Hearing the door creak open, I also hear Len's cry. In pain, or in in shock I wasn't sure. And sure as hell wasn't going to find out until I got miku cleaned up.
"Miku! I need you to talk to me." I whispered.
She nodded meekly. "IA, where...where is she? Rin? This is you...right?" She looked at me with dazed, unfocused eyes. "Yeah, it's you. Heh, they said you had escaped."
I gulped. She was barely there. I put in the bath tub and started to run some water. "IA. ..She failed the mission. Yes, I escaped. In fact len helped me."
"Is len that boy? The blonde?" I turned off the water, grabbed some orange body soap and started to clean her up.
"Yes, Len is that boy."
"You love him...don't you...?" she gasped after I cleaned her small cuts.
"Yes I do." She smiled and looked past my shoulder with dazed, unfocused eyes.
"Good." She barely whispered and her eyes came to a sleepy close. I picked her unconscious body up and dropped her on my still bloodied sheets. Calmly, I held me head up high and walked into my living room.
Sorry for the late update guys! Please don't forget to review and I'll see you next time lovies!
