Chapter 25

The Twins Sprint Off

"Shhh, you guys, Miku's asleep - again…so can you please keep it down?" Rin instructed everyone.

Gakupo, Len, and Richmond made poses that they were about to attack each other but they were back to normal.

"Doctor, how long will it take for Miku to get better?" Meiko asked her.

"Oh, judging from the severity of her wound and its healing process, maybe about a week or so. Kaito here is more serious so he'll probably take about a couple of months for him to heal. Another month has to be added since he also has to take some physical therapy."

Richmond piped up. "I can repair him myself if you want, one less hassle for you, Salazar."

"Thanks, but I can take it from here." she serenely tossed the screwdriver that Haku used to kill Miku with and Richmond caught it. "Unless…Kaito would you like to get repaired and healed by Mr. Parker?"

"It's a kind offer but no, I'm not risking being nearly killed by Haku again."

Richmond nudged closer to him. "It's alright, Haku won't be in the way and plus, your healing process will be much faster and the sooner you'll heal, the sooner you can go along with your family again."

"Didn't you hear me? I said no you deaf old man! Notice how Dr. Salazar said heal and you said repair. Besides, I don't want to be at Crypton anymore because can't you see that it turned into a concentration camp and Haku is Hitler?" he felt dizzy of a sudden and looked drowsy.

Gakupo was baffled knowing that he actually had it in him. Rin and Len gasped hard due to the fact that they had never in their lives seen Kaito that angry at someone before and actually meant it. Rin telekinetically sensed Miku still resting in a deep slumber so she wasn't able to hear him.

"Kaito, relax. Stop draining your energy with your anger; just take a few deep breaths and get over it." Dr. Salazar pleaded.

"Easy for you to say, you weren't the person being vulnerable and helpless by a crazy serial killer and almost died!"

Meiko heatedly trudged towards his wheelchair. "You need to think before you act, you idiot. Why? I'll tell you why because instead of loud-mouthing, you should've been grateful that our creator actually cared about you and saved your little butt!"

The twins didn't know what to say. They were just petrified by-standers that were beside Miku's bed trying not to listen. Rin and Len never thought that all of them could be that way, even Kaito, the most happy-go-lucky person that they have ever had.

The Kagamines both had the same ideas in their so the two of them ran out the room at their super-sonic speed. They both didn't care how far off they were away from them, how fast they were leaving, nor where they were going, they just didn't want to see their cheery family behaving that way.

"Rin!" Kaito called out.

"Len!" Meiko added with him.

"I will get them!" insisted Gakupo, already darting after them.

Gakupo speedily pursued after the twins. He ran as fast as his agile legs could take him. When that didn't work, the samurai came up with a different alternative and traveled even faster by leaping elegantly but supplely as possible.

Passing through various nurses, doctors, surgeons, and even patients, Rin and Len pushed open the doors that led them out of the hospital.

"Hey, I think I sense something heading directly in our path." she told him while gasping air.

"Nah I doubt it because there's no way anyone can ever catch up to us."

Rin turned her head around without slowing down, "I think your wrong about that!"

He turned around as well and he spotted Gakupo, just yards following him. "Run faster, sis!"

"I'm trying!" Rin shouted back him while dashing to her highest point, even thrashing her arms back and forth. She kept on running until she collapsed to the ground and passed out.

"Rin!" he shouted while speeding towards her. When Len slowed to a stop, it burned his soles of his feet and his heels were even gliding through the ground.

Gakupo made his final leap and landed in front of Rin. "I am sorry, lad. I did not mean for your sister to faint because of me."

"Well, won't sweat it; it was our fault that we ran out of there for no reason."

"No, it is my fault. You probably think that I make things worse for you and everybody else anyway."

Len raised up his eyebrows. "I don't think that, Gakupo, I just think that you can't go on without that Luka damsel lady."

"You are right about that, you know." he took out a small bottle contained with a green gooey liquid from his robe-like kimono. "This is a special elixir that is used for treating and soothing overworked samurais. Maybe swift-running twin siblings are close enough." Gakupo opened the bottle handed it to Len.

"Thanks, I owe you one." he then reclined Rin at an angle and poured a portioned amount inside of her mouth.

Gakupo smiled while making a sincere nod. "She will be okay but for now, we should really head back to the others." he lifted Rin up and Len followed right behind him.

"Oh yeah, would you like to run all the way back?" Gakupo offered.

"No thank you!" he replied quickly waving his arms in a friendly negative response.

The samurai couldn't help but laugh, and they both walked back peacefully while the sun dawned on the horizon.
