Chapter 21

-Whole chapter's going to be in Rin's POV-

Behind me was Mikuo. He heaved down my neck but not looking in my way, but instead at Miku's… What? Why? He looked as though he saw her kill the puppy rather than save it.

It was night, so the only light provided was camera's flashing, the fire rescue siren lights, and the street lights. That making his face all the more scary and threatening.

The green-ish light beamed on his flawless, pale face. Sewing its ray across the side of his emerald eyes and gliding down to his lips. His hair popping out in contrast from blue to green. I studied his face in detail and sought to understand why he was so angry…

Miku interjected my hazy thoughts and asked in almost a whisper, "Mikuo-kun, w-what's wrong?"
I was curious too. I backed away a couple steps and eyed him with the same questioning look Miku had on, only more heavily puzzled. He studied his sister's position and facial expression. Loosely, he eased his face.

"Nothing, what are you doing here with Rin?" He asked very harshly. I got startled at the question though…

"She wasn't doing anything, I actually bumped into her. She was saving this puppy and, eto, wait… Why do you sound so harsh?" I raised my left eyebrow. I'd much rather know why he was being that cold.

I crossed my arms while standing next to Miku, and tapped my foot on the asphalt.

"Well, care to explain why you took that tone with your sister?" I gave him my 'hmm?' face.
"I was concerned. The last couple times she's been around you, you get hurt. And it's her fault. I just wanted to make sure why she was near you again." He sighed and sniffed the air.

"EW! What's that smell?!" He pinched his nostrils and Miku looked away embarrassed.
"I-I was saving a puppy from a sewer and e-eto I got, d-dirty…" She was blushing, D'aw! She could be cute sometimes, I had to admit.

"Anyways, Rin, where are you headed?" Mikuo asked shifting his weight to the other foot, and flicking his head up in question form. "Home, I'm on my way back from hanging out with Len and Neru." I replied. "But it's so late? Want me to walk you home?" Mikuo was very polite. But, I'm more interested in finding out what Miku needed to tell me.

"No, no thanks. I actually was about to ask Miku to walk me home. I can let you shower and lend you some clothes, if you want?" I asked offering.

"Y-yeah, okay." She raised both her eye brows and nodded quickly. "Is it okay, Mikuo-kun?" She asks him for permission. That's kind of sweet! I smiled to myself at the thought.

He was hesitant, but saw that I needed to speak with her. So he agreed and headed off.

As soon as he left, Miku was crowded with people as we walked along. They were saying how she was a hero, and how selfless, etc. I'm happy for her, I really am. It was selfless, and all. I just needed to know what she wanted and to talk to her. But, no, NOW.

She saw my slight irritation and brushed everyone off, telling them she needed to go home and shower. I was glad she saw my annoyance.

~Time skip~

Miku patted down my hallway with a towel on around her body and hair. She smelled like oranges now, haha, I find that different since she usually smells like leeks or lavender. She sniffed a little, as though she was holding back tears.

"e-eto, c-can you, eto, lend me some clothes?" Why was she acting all shy? A while ago she tried to kill me, now she was shy? WHAT?

"Yeah, sure." I nodded and got up from the couch and walked to my room to fetch a shirt, bra, etc.

"Eto, I think my bras are eto, too small…" I apologized. I'm much more flat-chested than her.
"No, it's fine. I can loosen it. Look, thank you so much, you really don't have to do this for me. I'm such a bitch, you're so nice and I always blind myself. So, can we speak, about something?"

I was, well, ASDJGHFKL~ Basically. So, I heard her. We were at my house for hours and hours until 4 in the morning, since it was already so late.

She explained how she was so sorry and how she was never mad at ME, she was mad at the fact that he LIKED me. More or less, at the situation than me, I guess.

Anyway, I forgave her. We're actually friends now, like I don't even know. We spent that last hour talking about her and Dell. She seems to like him now. Good thing too, haha.

OH CRAP! Gumi! I left her hanging she must've been worried sick!

I shall call her now.

"Hello, Rin?"

"Yes, I'm so sorry I hung up on you!"

"Gosh, you had me WORRIED SICK! What the hell, Rin?!"

"I'm sorry! Look, I was just being pushed by people because of a puppy and never mind that. I just wanted to let you know I'm okay. Alright?"

"Fine, you're forgiven. Well, I have to go, Oliver's waiting for me. We're going SHOOTING!"

I couldn't help but chuckle to the "pew pew pfff" noises she was making on the other side of the line.

"Okay, good bye!"

"Bye, Rin~"

-Clatter-

"Miku?!"
