Gakupo sat in his seat, his head in his hands.

"Ruined…I'm ruined..It's all over now", he muttered to himself.

Len and Rin sat quietly across of him.

Gakupo finally looked up at them. He looked tired, like an old man who had been trying far too hard for far too long. He hadn't even the strength to yell at them anymore.

"Your contracts are terminated. This company is bankrupt. Leave. Just leave my office"

Without a word the pair closed the door behind them. Their entire world was burning at their fingertips and it seemed that there was nothing the either of them could do. Helplessly, Rin couldn't help but to pick at her fingers as she looked from the peripheral of her eye at Len.

"Len…", Rin began as she tried to take his hand.

Len merely shook her off, "Stop it. Don't touch me" he said in the coldest manner.

It was the strangest feeling. How could this happen to her overnight? Just this morning she had felt on top of the world. Finally everything had begun to fall into place and within just a blink of an eye, all of it was falling apart. Especially with Len. Her career, the money, the fame? She didn't care about any of that. They could have it all! But the person she had grown to care for the most suddenly stood in front of her and she never felt more like strangers. Even when they had supposedly 'hated' each other in the beginning, even then at least he had had some kind of feeling for her. But now it seemed this man in front of her didn't see her at all. When he looked at her, his eyes were so devoid of emotion. It was as if he was looking through her, as if she didn't exist to him.

"Len…even though you're right here. Even though you're right here in front of me, why does it feel like you're so far away?"

He didn't reply to her question he only started to walk away. But after a few paces he stopped in his tracks and turned his head in her direction.

"That divorce you wanted so badly? You're getting it. But I guess that's pretty obvious isn't it?"

Len could hear Rin's sobs as he walked away from her. He could feel his heart break into a million pieces at the sound of her cries. All he wanted was to turn back around and hold her in his arms. To tell her that everything was going to be alright. He wished more than anything else that he could turn back time and it could be like morning again. He wished he could just stop time and they could live forever in that bliss, without knowing any of this pain. But he couldn't turn back time and he couldn't change what had he put on the mask that he had perfected over the years and glazed over his face so that none of the emotions behind would ever leak out, ever again.

It was the first time that he had felt more than just lust for a girl and within an instance, just when he thought he could open his heart just a little, she had betrayed him. No, it was better that he walk away from it all now. If he looked back at her, if he saw her face, if he saw her tears he knew he'd grow weak. He knew he'd run back to her and forgive everything she ever did. He'd probably run back and beg her to go back to how they were. And he just couldn't let himself do that. Very cynically he smirked to himself, he was glad he had never uttered those words to her. Three words, eight letters. He had never said them to anyone and now he felt vindicated that he had not done so. Because if he had, he didn't know how he could cope with the hurt of her betrayal. It would remain a permanent scar and he'd never recover. So he simply chose to walk away from it all. He was walking away from love.

Meanwhile…

Mikuo couldn't believe his eyes. It was all over the tabloids, all he could hear on the radio and on the t.v. His nightmares were coming true.

"Didn't I say I wouldn't be left with nothing?"

Mikuo turned his head to see his sister leaning on his door, the most self-righteous smirk on her face.

"How could you do this?" He yelled at her, "Don't you feel any bit of remorse?"

"Why should I?" she laughed, "We're on top now. They're ruined. Even their company is ruined"

Mikuo shook his head.

"How…how could I have ever loved you?", he started, beginning to see all her true colors so vividly for the first time in his life.

"Oh shush. We got what we wanted. So we can stop now you baby", Miku rolled her eyes.

"No.", Mikuo stood up.

It was the first time that he had ever stood up to Miku. He had always blindly followed along with whatever she said, let him insult her, let him beat him down into thinking he was a freak because he loved her. Made him think that he was indebted to her for the rest of his life.

"You never loved me. You only used me." He said staring her straight in the eyes.

"You made me feel like I was to blame for everything that went wrong in your life. And for the longest time I believed it. But now I realize with sudden clarity that everything that has gone wrong was done by your own hand. I was just the scapegoat that you used and abused to your every whim." he continued.

He suddenly started taking slow steps toward her as Miku began to back away slowly.

"What are you doing Mikuo! Stop, don't get any closer!", she screamed.

"You always talked about how I ruined your life. How your life used to be so perfect before I came along. You talked about how disgusting my love was, how it tainted you. How I owed you my life"

Closer and closer yet he came to her with a crazy smile on his face.

"Well guess what?", Mikuo began to break into a maniacal laughter, "It seems as if you've ruined my life!"

He lunged at Miku and grabbed her by the throat as he began to choke her. Miku started to turn a dark shade of violet as she clawed as his hands. As he felt her become unconscious underneath him, he finally released her. Had he killed her? Was she dead? No. Mikuo might have finally stood up to his sister, but he still had that strong set of morals and killing a person, no matter how evil, was another one of those things he just couldn't do. No he had merely knocked her out so she wouldn't be a pest while he went to right his sisters wrong actions.

For the first time in years, Mikuo felt that the chains of darkness which had been keeping him in hell had finally freed and when he went outside that day, he felt like he was seeing sunlight for the first time in his life. Had it always been so bright and warm? He couldn't remember, but he smiled. He guessed in some twisted way, Rin had saved him from the darkness. Now it was time for him to return the favor.

Len paced around the back of the school. His whole life had been turned upside down in a matter of a day.

"Len!"

His head shot up. It was only Luka.

"Len is it true?" she cried out.

He could only manage to nod his head.

Luka jumped into his arms as she embraced him.

"Then that means…that there's nothing between you and Rin right?", she asked.

Len stood silent. He didn't want to hear her name ever again.

"Oh, what a relief!", Luka sighed out "I was feeling so guilty, thinking I was being a home wrecker but well…well this is great news! We can finally be together! Len! We can go away together."

Len was barely hearing her. Although he tried to forget Rin, all he could think of was her face.

"Things are not good right now. Your career. Oh dear.. Well, we can go back to Switzerland! Len, please come away with me! We can be happy there, we can start your career back up. It'll be slow, but you'll have me. And we'll be okay"

"No…", Len started. "No, I refuse to run away. I'm going to stay here and deal with what I have done"

"Len.."

He looked up to see her. His Rin, his wife. Her eyes now puffy from having cried so much.

"What are you doing here?", he spat.

"I-I was looking for you"

"What's the point? We're strangers now"

"That's just the thing! I don't want us to be strangers Len!", Rin cried out grabbing a hold of his arm, "I've thought a lot about this. I want to fight for us. I know it's hard for you to trust me right now, but I'm going to stay. I'm going to stay right here by your side. The press, they can say whatever they want about me, I don't care! If only I have you, that's all I need"

"Are you stupid? Don't you know how dangerous it is for you to be here? There are so many anti-fans out there!", Len yelled at her, "So just leave! I don't care where you go, but just get far far away from this city, from this country even"

"No, Len, if you stay I'm going to stay!", she yelled.

Len sighed, "Wow you really don't get the hint do you? I tried to tell you nicely but fine, I'll just tell you the truth. I want a divorce. I want to be with Luka! I've always had feelings for Luka, you were nothing to me. Get that through your thick skull!"

"But..but the kiss…I don't believe you Len!"

"The kiss?", Len laughed, "I'm a player. Why are you so surprised? I can fake anything just to get a girl in my bed. To be honest, I'm just amused at how easily you fell for it."

Rin faltered, her grip on his arm loosened.

"Len…I hate you", she breathed as her tears ran down her face. She turned around and ran.

That Evening

When Len finally returned home that evening, he expected to be bombarded by paparazzi, but to his surprise there was no one at his door but a certain blue haired boy.

"You bastard!", Len said as he grabbed Mikuo by the collar and held him against the door. "How dare you even show your face around here!"

"Yeah, I can understand that you hate me. So hit me if you want to, but I have something that you might want to hear"

Len dropped him to the floor.

"Spit it out before I strangle you!", he yelled.

"Rin and I didn't sleep together", Mikuo admitted, "I admitted that to the paparazzi as well. That it was all staged by Miku and I in order to sabotage you. That's why they're not swarming around here tonight."

"Why-why should I believe anything you say!", Len shouted.

"You don't have to believe anything I say. But if you really love Rin, then I think your heart knows the answer to that. If she'd really be the kind of person to do such a thing", he said.

Len stood by silently as Mikuo patted himself off.

"Well, I might as well go and pack my things and get out of here now. I think I've just ruined my entire career, now that the jig is up"

"Wait", Len called out as Mikuo walked away, "Why did you do this? Why did you tell the paparazzi and ruin yourself?"

Mikuo turned around,

"It's simple. Because I also love her. But she chose you. This is the only thing I can do for her now"

As Len watched Mikuo's figure grow further and further away he thought about Rin. Had he truly believed that Rin had slept with someone else? Deep inside, his heart told him no.

He hurriedly went inside the house, searching for her.

"Rin!" he called out.

Nothing but darkness answered back. He turned on the lights and went to her room. She wasn't there. He opened the bathroom, she wasn't there.

Suddenly he heard the phone ring. He lunged for the receiver.

"Hello, Rin?!", he called out hopefully

"uh..no, it's Luka"

"Hi", Len answered feeling disappointed

"You left really suddenly today and I was just wondering if it was true, all the things you've said. How you've always had feelings for me…"

"Luka, I can't do this with you right now. Rin is missing. I don't know where she is. She gets sick easily! And if she doesn't have Mr. Snuggles with her, she can't sleep at night. And she has problems with figuring out public transportation sometimes. She always needs someone there with her."

"God. Len. You're so in love with her aren't you? Why did you let her go then?" Luka said

"What?"

"How can you be so blind? The way you think about her all the time, the way you worry about her. Len you're in LOVE with her, why can't you see it? Why is it that everyone else sees it but you?"

Len felt his heart racing faster. Love? He had always sworn that there was no such thing. Could it be? Could Len Kagamine, the world's biggest play boy, finally have been caught? Love. Love. Love. It was love. My god, it was as if it had suddenly clicked to him. All those feelings that had been swirling inside him, the one he had suppressed for so long. It was love.

"I'm sorry Luka, I have to go", Len said before hanging up on her.

He raced back into her room and searched until he saw it. A note written on her dresser table. He quickly grabbed it and read through it.

Dear Len,

If you're reading this now, I might have already left. Maybe I was the only who had loved you this entire time, like an idiot. Maybe it's true, that you never had feelings for me and I somehow made it up inside my head, because I wanted you to love me so bad. Maybe I'm too clumsy sometimes, I know I'm too short, I'm always yelling and making a fuss. I'm just a burden. I don't want to be that anymore to you. I don't know when I'll come back, or if I'll come back. Perhaps we'd never see each other again. Perhaps, that's for the best. But if I never see you again, I really do hope that you can be happy with Luka, and as for me, I'll try to find happiness in my own way.

Love, Rin

"No…No Rin", Len whispered as he ran out the door. He just kept running and running. Maybe he could catch her. He didn't know where she was heading, but he'd find her. He'd find her at the airport. He could catch her, he knew it! He'd catch her and he'd tell her that he loves her. Yes, Len Kagamine loves her! LOVE! He was so sure of it now, why didn't he know before? It was always there before him. He loved everything about her. He loved that she was clumsy and was always bumping into things, he'd kiss away every bruise! He loved that she was too short, even better for her to fit into his arms like a puzzle piece! He loved that she always yelling and making a fuss, he thought it was cute. He loved her.

He caught the nearest cab and asked the driver to gas it. As soon as he arrived at the airport, he ran to the nearest desk.

"Please, I'm looking for someone! Her name is Rin Kagamine, Rin Kagamine! Which flight is she on!"

"Sir you're going to have to calm down", spoke the lady at the help desk. "Now could you please repeat your request?"

"RIN KAGAMINE! WHAT FLIGHT?!", Len practically screamed at her.

"And how do you spell that Sir?"

"AGH!" Len cried in frustrated. He grabbed a pen from the desk and jotted the name down on paper as he shoved it to her.

After what seemed like centuries, she finally replied

"Ahh, yes Ms. Rin Kagamine flight AK877, that's at Gate 42"

Len had barely let the woman finish her sentence before he ran sprinting for Gate 42. He ran right through the passport check, as he heard the TSI officers yelling after him. He felt security running after him but he didn't care, he had to catch her before she left.

"Please Rin, Please wait for me. I'll catch you! I'll tell you I love you. You have to stay here with me!"

All he could think about was her, all he could hear was his heart beating. It was like a race against time itself.

"Gate 42, final boarding call"

Len ran faster than his legs could allow him to until he saw the sign up ahead: Gate 42.

"Sir! You can't go in there!", one of the flight attendants tried to stop him.

"RIN!" He called out "You have to stop this plane! Please!"

"Sir!" The flight attendant tried again, "The flight has already departed"

The words finally hit him. The flight had departed. He dropped to his knees as the security caught up with him. He didn't care if they cuffed him or took him and put him in jail, he didn't care at all. He had lost her.

She was gone forever.
