Yes, in fact I can feel all of your glares on me for not updating 8D;;;

Kinda like Hussie didn't update for months, but then put up Cascade. Yeah, if you don't Homestuck, then I guess, you wouldn't get it xDD;;

I don't own anything but the plot.

-Ring POV-

As soon as I opened the door to the apartment, I could hear soft voices sounding from my room. It wasn't hard to hear since the room was closest to the door, but that alerted me to the fact that whoever was in my room wasn't alone. I threw my backpack on to the couch and walked towards my door. The voices were getting clearer now, but I couldn't recognize the second person's. Rin's voice seemed somewhat...happy? I couldn't tell.

"Rin! You home?" I yelled through the thick wall. As soon as I finished the sentence, I heard the balcony door sliding open and fell the wind rushing at my feet. I threw open the door and ran out into the open balcony, just in time to see a car parked below drive off. My heart started pounding through my ears and I rushed back inside, grabbing the closet phone I could find. I immediately dialed Cul's number and placed the phone to my ear, impatiently waiting for her to pick up.

"Yo?" I heard her ask. "Who's this?"

"Cul, it's Ring," I said, trying to calm my voice. "I think that guy from the party took Rin and kidnapped her."

"What? You mean Kagamine?"

"Does it look like I give a f*ck about his name?" I snapped.

"Whoa, girl, calm down," she said, surprised. "Anyway, I don't trust Kagamine with my life less Rin's. Do you think you could follow him?"

"By myself? What if he's going to murder her or something!" I asked.

"Then wait for Aoki or something! She said she'll be home soon! Just go and hurry up or something before you lose them!" Cul snapped. I fumbled with the phone for a bit before throwing it back into the receiver and running back into the living room. At that moment, both Yukari and Aoki entered the dorm and I pushed oth of them back outside.

"What's wrong, Ring?" Yukari asked, stumbling.

"We have to go follow Kagamine! He took Rin!" I told them, with a frown. Both Yukari and Aoki looked at each other before they pushed me back inside the dorm and shut the door.

"Ring, you need to calm down," Aoki said, removing her jacket. "Listen to me, I don't know if it's obvious to you or not, but Kagamine really loves Rin. There's no way she'll be in any trouble."

"How do you know that?"

"Because we spent our lunch with her old friends," Yukari admitted. "Specifically, we met up with Luka and Miku. They're really good people and they've known Rin and Len for a very long time. There's just no way Len could harm her at all." I gritted my teeth and Aoki placed a mug of coffee in front of me.

"I think you're just stressed about school," Aoki said, pointing to the mug. "Either drink this, or go get some sleep. There's just no way you'll be able to function if you don't." I let out a sigh and nodded.

"Just tell me when dinner's ready..."

-Rin POV-

"Rin, aren't you interested into the medical business?"

"That's the most random question I've ever head come out of your mouth."

"Nope, you've probably heard worst from before," he replied. "Anyway, you are, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then you wouldn't mind working with me, right?" he asked. "Maybe to get some experience in the field?"

"What are you leading at Kagamine?" I asked, in a joking manner. He drove the car into a parking garage and pointed ahead to the giant glass building.

"This is the building my parents built before they went on their extravagant journey," he explained, getting out of the car. "The Kagamine Clinic." I stepped out of the car and jogged to catch up with him.

"You call this a clinic?" I asked. "To me, it's more of a hospital."

"I call it a clinic to house more homely," he explained. "But it'll help us gain experience. And it's not like we'll be alone there, we've hired tutors and actual doctors-"

"Okay, rich boy, I got it," I said, with a small smile. "Now, did you really need to kidnap me all the way here?"

"Yes."

"And how will you justify that?"

"Because I can," he replied. "And plus, I want something from you."

"Nope." I tapped my sneakers and winked before taking off running out of the parking lot.

"Wait! Rin! Where are you going? It's dangerous!" he yelled. I pretended not to hear him and ran out into the sidewalk. I promised myself to be adventurous and impulsive, so I will. After all, this is how I was back in America, why not now? I could barely hear Len's voice now, but a growing dark feeling set over me. What if he was right? It bugged me a bit, but I shrugged it off. I saw Len running up to me so I hopped onto the ledge of the cobblestone wall before he could get to me. "What the hell was that for?"

"Well, I didn't know what you meant and I thought you might have sexually harassed me if I stayed," I lied.

"Are you crazy?" he asked, panting. "Of course I wouldn't! That would have pretty pretty f*cking stupid of me! I just wanted-" I jumped down from my spot and looked at him straight in the eyes.

"Are you sure you still love me?" I asked.

"You know, with that tone of voice...you remind me of Gumi..." he said, looking at me. What? Where did this come from? I walked a few feet away from him and turned to see his watchful eyes.

"Why don't you think about this for a bit, Kagamine?" I spoke. "Tell me why you love me then tell me why, even though I've been back for a bit now, why Gumi still suspects nothing. I'm not going to be stupid anymore. Impulsive, maybe, but that's for my own judgement on what's impulse and what's stupidity."

"Don't be ridiculous, of course I love-"

"You know, you use to throw that word around so easily when we were teenagers," I continued. "Did you fail to notice its true meaning?" Everything I said...it felt double edged. As if...I wanted to continue this because of the power I felt, but again...I knew it was just driving him away. I closed my eyes and remembered all of the times that he made my heart race and each time I imagined what I felt.

"Rin, I didn't mean to compare you to Gumi, I just-"

"Before I left Japan, Piko asked me something," I interrupted. "He asked me how I actually felt about you. He started implanting suggestions into my head that seemed as if they were just stupid suggestions, but...as a psychologist, I must examine all possibilities of my own corruption."

"...what the fuck are you saying?"

"I'm saying that maybe he was right," I said, closing my eyes. "That all I ever felt was lust and not love...well maybe some love but only in a sibling sort of way."

"Rin, stop this bullshit," Len said, frowning. "This is ridiculous, let me just take you home. The night air is starting to get to you." I didn't speak one word on the way back, but Len filled the silence with music. When we arrived at the front of my apartment, Len grabbed my arm before I could walk inside. "I just want to try something...please. If you actually think it's just lust for you..." And he kissed me.

I dunno, it just feels like Rin doesn't actually legit like him back in that way for me :c Welp. If any of you read Homestuck, I'm going to pull a "Hussie" soon 8D
