OMG! I'm sorry! So much kept happening, and I eventually forgot about this! TT^TT I promise to update this more often!
Now for some replies!
Pokekid84- At the time, in Japanese class, I learned it was kirei. But I just learned that beautiful is also utsukushi. Thanks for correcting me though! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
B.L- Wow. Thanks a lot. Um, actually, even then I didn't update as soon as I hoped...Never mind! Take out the sarcasm in the "Thanks a lot" part!
Guest 93- Ah yes. There always has to be someone to interrupt the moment. And, I totally knew Plan B was a joke. I was just...testing. Yeah. Exactly. (_ _)
Mimi 02- Well, here's chapter 11! (I'm glad I'm not the only one that reviews on a few chapters in a row. Totally a compliment by the way.)
StarishShadow- Yay! Sorry if this chapter doesn't make you laugh as much. It's kind of a shiz is starting to get serious chapter. But honestly, it was tough to have Rin reject Rinto. I myself think he's cute. (Not that I'd have a crush on a fan made vocaloid! That'd be kind of sad.) Thanks for patiently waiting for this chapter!
Rika Kagamine- Thanks for the support!
Disclaimer: I don't own Vocaloid. Otherwise, I'd be stinkin' rich. (-_-#)
Tei POV
She took Lenka away. SHE TOOK LENKA AWAY FROM ME! And now she plans on taking away my Lenny! MY LENNY!
That Rin. She'll pay. With her life. I'm just avoiding her.

For now. Let's just say, I've got a special knife for interfering girls like her.
Be ready Rin Akita. You better live this next week to the fullest. If you make it that long.
Rin POV
...Weird. I just felt shivers down my spine. I shrugged it off as Neru and I rode the bus.
It's been one week since the dance. Neru's very happy, since she's getting more texts than ever! This happened at our old school, but this is crazy!
Neru went to the dance, but only so she could be one step ahead of everyone. She likes to examine things very closely. There are pros and cons to this.
For example, a pro is, she can find out something before it even happens. Meanwhile, a con is, that "something" might be very personal. Here's another example, she could tell I tried to kiss Len, just by looking at how I acted around him. That's how observative she is. ...Ok, now that I think about it, it's kind of creepy. Oh well, who knows? It might come in use.
Neru nudged me when we got to school. We both got off the bus. She went off to her locker, I went to mine.
After I got my things out, I went to class. Miku and Lenka were at my desk waiting for me.
When they saw me, they waved at me, I waved back.
"What's up Rin?", greeted Miku. I shrugged in reply. Man, this school isn't as bad as I thought. Even Tei has stopped bugging me. Though Neru has pointed out that whenever Tei does look at me, it's either a death glare or staring daggers at me. Well that's better than cornering me in an alleyway.
"Well, how much closer are you two to Paris?" asked Lenka. Miku and I both looked at each other. Crap. We forgot to calculate.
Oh! By the way, surprisingly, Lenka was really excited when I tried to kiss Len. I asked her why and how she could be so excited.
Here's her reply:
"I'd rather have you try to kiss my brother than Tei. Plus, I'm used to being friends with someone who has a crush on my bro. At least your not as addicted to him as Tei was."
Fair point, right? I'm pretty relieved that she didn't interrogate me or something. Don't get me wrong, she's still disgusted, but apparently it's different with me.
"Sure, your my friend, but I actually like the thought of you two being together."...Fair point again.
Where were we, oh right!
"Um...we'll get back to you on that." Miku replied, while Lenka face palmed. Lenka isn't going to Paris. Since Len plans on going and she's making Rinto go, she doesn't want to leave the house abandoned. There's also the fact that every time she goes on a plane for an hour she pukes. Yet alone twelve and a half hours!
"Well, on the bright side, we know we're closer to Paris." I said, with a hopeful look. Miku looked at me weirdly.
"Um...everything ok Miku?" I asked.
"I guess, I just noticed that you've changed a lot since I first met you. Just a little-oh. Ah! Lenka! I've gotta go to the bathroom! Come on!" Miku suddenly exclaimed, while dragging Lenka out.
I stared after them wondering why Miku would just leave me like this.
"Uh...hey."...so that's why. She thought she'd be doing me a favor by leaving me alone with Len. That girl is in for a world of hurt later.
"What's up?" I tried to sound as casual as possible. I couldn't help but squirm a little when I was with Len now. You'd be embarrassed too! Especially after an unsuccessful attempt at...that. I don't really know how to act after something like that's happened.
"Not much, I guess."
"Th-that's coo-"
"What are you doing this weekend?" asked Len. I looked at him in surprise. His face was a dark shade of red. I had no idea how to answer him. I've never been asked. Well, I have been asked, but that led to unfortunate events.
Just thinking about it made me quiver. I-I want to trust Len, but...after that happened I just couldn't trust a lot of people. It even took me awhile to fully trust Miku! Yet alone Lenka.
But Len. I...It's just...that guy hurt me so much. I don't ever want to go through that again. It caused...thoughts. Thoughts that...that could've killed me.
"Uh, I'm really busy this weekend. How about you?", I added the last part just to make him think I was clueless. That I didn't know he wanted to ask me on a date.
"Oh. Yeah, ok.", just then Miku and Lenka came back in. Miku looked a little frustrated, Lenka looked a bit disappointed. Hey...wait a second...Were they watching us!? I sighed. That's what I should've expected from Miku, but Lenka?! Wow.
The bell rang, signaling the start of class. Everyone scrambled back to their seats.
As we listened to the announcements, two papers were thrown onto my desk. They were both crumpled up.
I opened one of them. It was obviously from Miku.
What the heck was that!? He just asked you out! You like him, RIGHT!?
-Miku
I rolled my eyes and wrote below the message.
Yeah, I do like him. It's just too complicated for me to explain in a note. Plus, don't send me notes! I don't want to get in trouble!
-Rin
I quietly tossed my reply to her. The teacher had already started lecturing.
Meanwhile, I read Lenka's note.
Rin, why didn't you take your chance? Also, Len's been trying to work up the courage to ask you on a date since the almost kiss. I won't be weirded out or anything.
-Lenka
...He-he's been...wow. I guess he does really like me. But...
I'm sorry Lenka. It's too complicated for you, Len, or Miku to understand. Also, don't send me notes in class! I'll get in trouble.
-Rin
With my chest feeling a bit heavier, I tossed the note to Lenka. I didn't get anymore notes after that. This is what I love about Miku and Lenka. They don't pick and pry at really, serious private stuff. Miku will pry into other things, but Lenka will just leave me alone.
The rest of class went normally. Other than the death glares from Tei (which I'm getting used to) and the occasional longing look from Len, pretty normal.
Time Skip (Lunch)
Lenka heaved a sigh.
"It's kind of a bummer that Miku's too busy with Kaito to have lunch with us!" muttered Lenka.
"I know, but Kaito's a year older than us. Which means he and Miku don't have any of the same classes together. They at least deserve lunch." I said, as calmly as I could muster. What!? She was my first friend at this school! I'm just choosing to be the understanding friend.
Lenka looked at me strangely.
"Ok, Miku was right. You have changed! Does it have something to do with-", Lenka stopped mid-sentence. Her face at first showed shock, then her lips curled into a mischievous smile.
"I think someone wants to talk to you.", now it was my turn to give her a weird look. She pointed behind me.
I'll give ya three guesses who it was. ...What was that? Len Kagamine? Well geez, aren't you the little Einstein!
"Er, hey Rin. Can we talk in private?" mumbled Len. I don't think he's ever sounded so nervous before.
Unsure, I replied, "Uh, ok. Whatever."
"Go on you two! Don't worry, I won't interrupt your make out session this time!", Lenka's dead meat the moment I get my hands on her. I gave her a look that could kill while Len dragged me outside.
...
We were behind the gym again. Wow. This place seems to have lost it's magic. I guess that's to be expected. We were behind a hill again, so no one could see or hear us.
I focused on Len. His expression seemed to suddenly turn dark. Is he that bummed out that I turned him down?
"Len, I'm sorry. It's just...too complicated for me to explain. Maybe in the future I'll be able to go out with y-"
"Don't you like me too?", whoa. That took me by surprise. I couldn't answer for a few moments.
"I...I do.", holy crap. It just felt like I'm at my wedding. Except I'm not.
"Then why won't you go out with me?" asked Len, his voice started to rise a bit.
"I...um...it's because...it's just..." I can't believe I wasn't prepared for this! I just never expected to feel this way for anyone ever again. Suddenly, he grabbed my shoulders and pushed me against the wall. He pushed his lips onto mine. My eyes widened.
Before I knew it, I slapped him. All of a sudden I saw a drop of water fall onto the ground. I looked up. There wasn't any rain. I felt something wet on my cheeks. I was crying.
Before he could say anything I ran away. Why the heck did I do that!? Oh. Right. That's how it started. That's how that other guy did it. And when I let him go on I almost got raped.
Len POV
I don't get it. I just don't get it. She likes me, right? So why doesn't she want to go out with me?
She tried kissing me not too long ago. So why did she slap me when I kissed her?
These questions kept spinning in my head as the day went on. No matter what I thought, my mind would always go back to one question. Why won't she go out with me?
I'm not being the old playboy me. Just to be clear. I really want Rin to go out with me. And not just for popularity or bragging purposes.
But what's holding her back? She doesn't seemed scared of Tei. Lenka hasn't complained, or even talked, about Tei. So what is it?
Wait a second! Lenka! Maybe Rin's told her something about this! They're great friends! Rin must've told her something that could relate to this! I'll ask her on the way back from school!
After School
After I told Lenka what happened, she looked at me wide eyed. Then, a huge smile spread across her face.
"OMG! You kissed her! How come she didn't tell me!? Or Miku!? I'm so-wait a second. Did you say you pushed her against a wall?", wow she went from fan girl squeal to serious friend in a snap.
"Uh...yeah." I blushed a bit. I was into the moment ok!?
"...I'm not sure if you should've done that. Rin probably found that forceful." said Lenka. I guess I never thought about that. When I did that to other girls, they seemed to go along with it just fine. But Rin isn't like any of those girls.
"That's just my opinion. Honestly, you should've gone to Miku. Miku's the closest with Rin." added Lenka. Crud. Now I'll have to wait till tomorrow to talk to Miku. And that's if Miku's willing to tell me.
Lenka POV
I decided to make things easier and text Miku. I swear, Len was chewing on a pillow a little while after we got home. I figured the least I could do was get the info he wanted.
It took an hour or two to get a reply. Finally, Miku texted back.
To: Lenka
From: Miku
I'm srry. I've thought about it, & I think I no why Rin's so upset. I'm srry bcause I can't tell u. :(
I frowned while I replied.
To: Miku
From: Lenka
Why not?
She replied a couple minutes after I sent the reply.
To: Lenka
From: Miku
It's related 2 something personal 4 Rin. I'm sure she'll tell u soon. In fact, I'll txt her rite now.
...What? Something personal? What could it be? A few moments later, I got a text from Rin.
To: Lenka
From: Rin
Come 2 the park. I trust u. I'll tell u everything that happened my old skool.
Like I said. This is a bit more of a shiz gets serious chapter. I hope this chapter was worth the wait! R&R!
