Chapter 12

"Luck is on your side today"

Miku's POV

I ran as fast as I could to Rin's house. I need to check if she's ok, I need to check if she needed me.

"Rin…" I whispered under my breath as I walked up the stairs to her front door.

As I knocked on the white piece of wood, I waited for a few seconds until I saw my best friend open the door with a smile.

"Hi Miku!" she gave me a hug and I hugged her back.

"Hi Rin!" I then pushed her off lightly and playfully pointed my finger at her "you should check to see if it was me! Or else someone would've snatched you away!" I pouted.

"Ah sorry Miku" she laughed a little and her bow lowered in shame.

"It's alright! Just remember it next time or else something might happen and it'll have me worried sick" I spoke as we both walked into her home.

"Oh, Rin did you eat?" I asked while throwing my bag to the ground near the couch in the living room.

I bent down to my bag for something and when I did, her face froze and her heart ran fast. Of course I didn't notice.

"I'll cook you something ok!" I jumped up from the floor and enthusiastically held my fists in the air.

I then made my way to the kitchen but Rin grabbed my arm and yelled "wait!"

I stared at her confused.

"Um… why?" was my response.

"Oh well, aha, its messy! I tried to cook for you but it didn't turn out well so just wait here till I get it cleaned up ok!" she pulled me to the couch and ran to the kitchen.

I sat there still trying to process the reason why she was doing this but nothing matched.

She never attempted cooking without me.

She doesn't like cleaning up.

And she's never this frantic.

I got curious so I used my ninja skills that I copied from Rin and slowly got up from the couch, with no noise, and pressed against the wall to pear over the corner. I caught a glimpse of what was happening, Rin was doing the dishes!

"Rin I'm so proud of you!" I thought with a big grin spread across my face.

I noticed something odd though; there were two plates and two forks. Did someone come over? Why isn't she telling me? I sighed and made my way back to the couch.

I took a seat and held my head in disappointment.

Why am I feeling… down?

I heard footsteps walking closer so I shot my head up and gave a big smile. I thought about Rin doing the dishes so my smile would look real.

"Sorry about that Miku, Miki came over and she was really sad so I gave her some of the left over pasta you cooked last night" Rin smiled and I instantly felt better.

"So it was just Miki here?" I asked not sure why I did.

"Yep! Why?" she looked at me with a questioning expression.

"Nothing! Just wondering! But anyways, I'll get cooking!" I skipped happily to the kitchen and went to the fridge.

"I'll make something special ok Rin!" I yelled from inside the fridge.

I could hear Rin laugh lightly and respond "alright."

Len's POV

Rin is… just so cute.

I lifted my head to face the sky as I was walking home. The one and only person on my mind was Rin.

As I was walking, I accidently bumped into someone.

"Oh sorry" I quickly said until I got a good look of their face.

"Wait… is that you?" I grabbed the person's shoulders and stared at their face.

"Gumi?" I quietly spoke while having a firm hold of her shoulders.

Instead of a reply, Gumi flicked my forehead with her finger and gave me her same bored expression. I stared at her and let her go from my grasp then held my forehead.

"That is you!" I pulled her into a hug while having a huge smile on my face.

"Yes, yes it's me, now get off Len" she spoke in an irritated tone.

"Aha sorry about that" I took my arms off of her and put a hand behind the back of my head shamefully yet playfully.

"Still have those goggles I see?" I pointed to the red object that was resting on her head.

"Duh, why would I want to get rid of them?" her angry voice mixed with her bored appearance made her seem like one of those people you would want to stay away from or you'll get hurt.

"Just pointing it out, but what are you doing here anyways?" I gave her a smile and looked into her bright green eyes.

Her expression didn't change but she responded "I just moved back a week ago; finished unpacking so I went for a walk."

I felt… really happy, Gumi, my Gumi, is back! I couldn't help but hug her once more from excitement.

"Put me down!" she punched my head and I dropped her but she landed perfectly on the cement ground.

"Owww…" I looked up at her and gave a weak smile from the pain and said "I'm really glad you're back Gumi!"

She turned and left without looking back while speaking "glad to be back."

I stared at her glowing green hair flowing in the wind and smiled.

"I can't wait to tell Luki!" I jumped in the air and ran to Luki's house to tell him the news.

After running nonstop to Luki's place and when I got there, I furiously knocked on his door until he answered it.

"WHAT?" Luki yelled when the pulled the door open.

"LukiLukiLukiLukiLuki!" I was still a little hyped up from running.

He put his hands on my shoulders and settled me down.

"Cool down and tell me" he looked at me a bit annoyed.

"Guess what!" I smiled wide and I could tell he was giving me a confused look.

"Oh, I know…" he smirked "you only act like this when a certain someone is present."

"Huh? You know?" I felt down because I couldn't surprise him.

"Is a certain gummy bear in town?" I put his finger on his lip.

"Yes!" I hugged Luki "Gumi's here!"

He laughed then said "is that all you had to say?"

I froze in my spot and thought "was this the only reason why I came to see him?"

"Sorry Luki but I think that's it, sorry for wasting your time" I felt guilty to just tell him one thing then leave.

He laughed again and smiled "it's alright, as long as you're happy, I'm happy."

I shot my head up to look at him and I couldn't help but smile.

"Luki! You're the best!" I wrapped my arm around his neck and danced a little out of sheer joy.

"Haha thanks you too!" he grinned and I let go of his neck and looked at him.

"You know Luki, I'm pretty glad we're friends" I gave him a truthful stare.

"You mean like brothers?" he winked and we both gave a small laugh.

"Right" we hooked our hands together and smiled "brothers."

Rin's POV

Miku's acting weird today for some reason but I'm not sure why. If I ask her then I know she won't tell me because she likes to suffer alone.

That's the only thing I hate about Miku.

"Mikuuuuuuu" I spoke while walking into the kitchen to see her over the stove.

"Yeeeeessss?" she playfully answered.

"Is dinner ready yeeeeeeeett?" I continued.

"Nooooooo, not yet" she gave a small laugh.

"Awwwww" was my only reply until I burst out laughing.

"Ok, ok I'm done" I responded after I was done giggling.

"So is dinner!" Miku turned off the stove and grabbed two plates.

"Some for you and some for me!" she spoke while slowly pour some of the chicken stir fry onto the two plates.

"Thanks Miku!" I smiled and grabbed some utensils.

I handed her a fork and took a seat across from my little dining table.

I looked at her with a worried expression because her face looked pale and she was a bit dazed out. I hope she's not sick.

. . . . .

The next morning, instead of having Miku wake me up like every day, I woke up to see Mikuo smiling at me. His face was so close to mine that I could smell his shampoo but that wasn't the first thing that went through my mind though.

"AAAHHHHH!" I yelled when I jumped from my bed and rested on the wall.

The first reaction from Mikuo was a laugh.

"Sorry Rin but seeing you scared like that is just too funny" he wiped a tear away from the corner of his eye.

I gave him an angry stare and said "what was that for? And where's Miku? Why are you here?"

"Fun, sick, cuz Miku told me to" he smiled and I continue giving him an angry stare.

"Wait…" I thought about it for a second "Miku's sick?"

"Yeah, she has a fever and she told me to wake you up, make you breakfast, walk you to school, meet you at lunch time, and walk you back home" Mikuo replied.

"So detailed…" I sarcastically thought.

"But…" I lowered the volume of my voice and whispered "Miku's never sick…"

I got off my bed and walked into the bathroom.

I yelled "this is when you go make me some breakfast!" at Mikuo and closed my bathroom door.

I felt sadden. Miku always made me happy and when she's sick I feel horrible the whole day. I guess I'm too dependent on her for many things.

After I was done getting ready, I walked down the stairs and entered the kitchen. The smell of eggs and bacon filled my nostrils and I felt my mouth water.

I'm sorry Miku but Mikuo's cooking is great!

I walked to my seat at the dining table and a plate of delicious food appears before me.

I looked up to see Mikuo smiling and handing me a fork and a glass of orange juice.

"Breakfast is served" he spoke as I took the fork and he placed the orange juice at the corner of my plate.

"Thanks" I smiled at him and he replied "anything for my adorable little sister."

He sat across from me and watched me eat. I was quiet used to his staring but for some reason, I felt uncomfortable.

It reminded me of something, someone else but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"Uhh can I help you?" I looked at him oddly.

"Yeah, ya can" he puckered his lips playfully.

"What is it?" I tilted my head in a bored manner.

"Finish your food so we can head out to school!" he had a toothy grin on his perfect face.

"Oh… right" I quickly ate the food and drank the juice.

"There, you happy now?" I was breathing heavily from the lack of air I was getting when I swallowed my food.

"Yep!" he smiled and I put my plate away.

He grabbed my bag and handed it to me and we walked towards the door.

Our walk was mostly filled with parts of things in his story and how Ted is annoying him but he appreciates him at the same time. I just listened and nodded through the whole walk.

When we reached our destination, Mikuo stopped at the front door of the school but before I was about to take my leave into the building, he lightly grabbed my arm.

I didn't like to be around him when we were at school because the girls here still remember him and would always ask me if they could have his phone number or email address and it's annoying.

"Wait Rin" he spoke as he was letting my arm go.

"What?" I kept my bored expression on my face while he was speaking.

"Here, a gift from me" he slid a piece of gum into my mouth then pressed his finger on my lips.

I could hear the other girls gasp and some whisper that I was lucky to be touched my Mikuo.

Gawd they're annoying as hell when Mikuo's here.

I turned my head and opened the school doors.

"Thanks" I quickly walked to my classroom and took my seat.

"Now girls are going to come up to me and say 'hey are you friends with Mikuo? Do you have his number? Can I have it? blah, blah, blah." I thought angrily while staring at my desk and waiting for random girls to talk to me.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I thought "told ya."

I turned my head to face the person looking down towards me.

"Hey, Rin, who was that guy?" Akaito spoke while taking his seat behind me.

"Wait… don't tell me… Akaito… likes him?" I frantically thought.

"Um… can I ask why you want to know?" I asked to prove myself wrong.

"I'm new here so I don't know the 'popular people yet' and that guy was just touching you" his voice got a little angry.

"Oh yeah" I laughed "I forgot you're not familiar with this place yet" I laughed to get that image of Akaito liking Mikuo out of my head.

… It's not getting out of my head!

"H-hold on" I turned away from Akaito and faced towards my desk again.

I bashed my head several times on the wooden table until Akaito stopped me.

"Rin! Why are you doing that?" he spoke with an assertive voice.

"Oh… haha well it's a funny story…" I gave a weak smile to him.

He got up from his seat and moved my bangs.

"Rin, you're hurt" he then picked me up bridal style and said "where's the nurses office?"

I was too in shock of what was happening that I couldn't answer.

"Where's the nurses office?" he yelled to the few people in the room.

"I-it's by the front office, on the first floor, please don't hurt us!" a person yelled.

Instead of a reply, Akaito stepped out of the room without a word.

I saw girls looking at me like I was a princess but really, I was uncomfortable.

Then, something caught my eye. Oh gawd… oh gawd… please don't see me, please don't see me. I closed my eyes to avoid eye contact but opened them a slight bit to see if we passed them or not.

Fuck.

I just met eyes with Len and Luki.

And I was in the arms of Akaito.

Fuck.

Just fuck my life.

We brushed passed them and I stared ahead of me with my mind blank.

Great… I feel like a fucking whore.

When we reached the nurses office, I saw another person who I seemed to know.

"Rin? What a surprise" Luka spoke with a kind smile.

"Luka? You work here?" I looked at her surprised.

"I'm just the assistant here but I'm earning my doctorial degree" she got up from her office chair and walked towards a bed and said "please place her here."

"You know each other?" Akaito set me down on the bed.

"Yeah" I gave a weak smile from the horrible experience I just had earlier.

"Ok, you have to go to class, the bell's about to ring" Luka pointed a playful finger to Akaito.

"Alright…" he got down on one knee and held my hand then said "I'll come back at lunch ok, wait for me."

My heart raced, his facial expression was… very caring and handsome at that current moment. Not like his player smile that he always has on.

I couldn't speak so he left the room and closed the door.

"Rin, do you like him?" Luka took a seat next to me.

Oh great, another uncomfortable moment. It feels weird to have someone sit next to me because I'm so used to having them across from me or behind me where I can't see them.

"I used to when we were little but…" I lost my feelings for him when we grew up right? … Right?

"Is he a childhood friend?" Luka gave me a sincere and kind smile.

"Yeah, his name's Shion Akaito but when I met him when we were older, I couldn't remember anything about him until I had a dream about our childhood. If I never had that dream then I still wouldn't have remembered him…" I just realized I gave her a lot more information than what she asked for.

"It seems like he cares for you a lot" she took out a first aid kit and set it on her lap.

"But…" she spoke.

"But?" I looked at her confused.

"What about Len?" she took out a band aid and peeled off the tab.

I stared at her confounded and froze.

"W-well… we passed him and Luki in the hall earlier" I quietly told her.

"Did you see his expression?" she moved my bangs and put the band aid on carefully.

"Not that I could remember but… his eyes were wide and his jaw dropped" I looked towards the ground.

"I see, Rin, how about staying here until lunch?" she smiled and put the first aid kit away.

"Thank you but I have to head to class" I tried to refuse.

"But Rin, it seems like you're having a lot of troubles" her look saddened and it was true, I do have troubles and I think she'll listen.

"O-ok" I replied.

. . . . .

For a whole 2 and something hours, I told her how I felt feelings toward, Len and Akaito. I didn't dare to say that I was starting to like Luki because that would have been awkward.

The lunch bell rang and that was the signal that my therapy was over so I waved goodbye to Luka and walked out of the room.

After I closed the door, I turned to my right but I accidently hit into someone.

"Oh sorry" I looked up to see a girl with green hair and green eyes but what caught my attention the most was the pair of red goggles on her head.

"No, that was my fault" she spoke in a monotone voice.

She stood up and held out a hand. Her expression was… like mine.

Bored, blank, and uninterested.

I took her hand and stood up with her, I'd have to say that she's about Miku's height.

"Thanks for helping me" I smiled.

"No problem" she replied with a small smile.

"Well, I gotta get going for lunch, see ya around" she waved and left.

"W-wait!" I yelled.

"Hmm?" she turned around and her same plain expression came back on her face.

"I'm Kagamine Rin, Room 1A, can I ask what your name is?" I looked at her with a bright face.

She smiled and said "Room 2A and just call me Gumi, see ya later Rin."

She walked off and I smiled. I think I'm going to like her (like a friend.)

Len's POV

Who the hell was that guy? He had a random red scarf around his neck so he shouldn't be hard to find. Now where is he so I could beat the crap out of him for touching Rin.

This is going to get nasty.

I know, I know, I haven't updated in a while… well you see, I've been depressed lately and I didn't have the will to write and sorry if this is a suckish chapter that I kept you guys waiting for.

I fail mega bad and I am sorry for it.

If you checked out my DeviantArt then you might've noticed that I was able to post some art but not this chapter, well because art helps calm me a little.

Yes yes now I'm done with my rant… I currently have no questions because this chapter had no point in existing besides some parts that were important.

Miku got sick, Gumi is introduced and seems to have the same personality as Rin (hmm Len are you using her as a replacement?), Mikuo is showing some feelings for Rin yet Rin is hard headed and thinks it's just brotherly love he's showing, Akaito shows his caring side, and last but not least, Luka is gonna be a doctor! 8D

Never mind that last one xD
