Kagami: yes the last chapter was short, but hey I got 30 reviews now!
…I don't own vocaloid…
It's been a day since Rin's disappearance. Not a single person has seen her.
Meiko gave up already, and started going back to work at the karaoke bar.
I had took Orange for a walk, the thing was getting a little chubby laying around the house.
That's where I saw her under a tree.
"RIN!" I shouted, running over.
Yet when she turned, It wasn't her.
"Oh sorry, I thought you were Rin," I apologized.
"That's alright, I'm Rui! Pleased to meet you," she smiled.
"Nice to meet you too," this kinda freaked me out, she looked exactly like Rin! "I you see a girl who looks just like you with blonde hair, and blue eyes please tell me!"
"Of course, tell me. Is this girl you are looking for lost?" Rui asked.
"Yeah. Have you seen her?" I asked.
"I'm sorry I haven't. I just came here from Tokyo with my brother Rei. If you give me your phone number I'll call you if I see her," Rui smiled sweetly.
She reminded me so much of R in it hurt.
"yeah… here I'll put it in your phone," I said, holding my hand out.
She gave me her phone, and I added my number to it. Then gave it back.
I turned around ready to walk away.
"I'm sure you'll find her! Oh wait I never got your name!" she said.
"Len," I said.
"Well Len-kun don't give up alright?" I turned, and for a moment I thought I DID see Rin.
"I won't give up…" I couldn't help but stare. She was exactly like Rin, except more mature , and lady-like.
Shaking my head, I started walking away. Orange purred, and brushed up against my legs.
"You miss her too, don't you little buddy?" I asked the cat.
I got a meow in reply, and shook my head, realizing I was speaking to a cat.
I sighed, and kept walking.
My ringtone went off, and I reached into my pocket t retrieve my phone.
"Hello?" I asked.
"It's Rui,"
"Rui? Did you find Rin?"
"Not exactly…"
"Then why did you call?"
"I was just wondering. Would you like to… would you like to go to the mall sometime?"
She even sounds like Rin…
"Sure,"
"Great, how about now?" Rui asked.
"W-well sure I'm free now,"
"Great meet you at PoPiPo mall in ten!"
"Ok, bye?"
"Bye!"
I hung up. Yes, Rin was missing. Yes, I was going to the mall with a girl just like her. Yes, I know what I'm doing.
I dropped Orange off at the house, and headed toward the mall.
Along the way I felt as if I was being watched, it was strangely annoying after a while.
When I made it to the mall, I found Rui standing in the front of the store.
"Rui!" I shouted, waving her way.
She waved back, and I ran over.
"Nice seeing you again," She smiled "Shall we go in?"
"Sure," I smiled back.
We walked into the mall, walked threw a couple crowds bought some small things along the way.
"Len-kun? Could we stop, and eat?" Rui asked, tugging onto my jacket.
"Uh sure. Where?" I asked.
"How about… there!" she said pointing to some fancy looking restaurant.
"Looks pricey," I muttered.
"Oh! How about-,"
"I said it looks pricey, didn't say I wouldn't take you!" I interrupted/
She flashed me a smile, and we took a booth in the classy place.
RUI POV
I sat in a booth with Len. He was so nice I thought about paying. If only I didn't pay for that cute red bow.
Unfortunately when Len was about to talk, I got a call.
"Excuse me!" I said, running outside for a moment.
"Hello?" I asked the phone.
"Hello Rui!"
"Rei! Why did you call me!?"
"I found that girl at a carnival. I suggest you hurry, she's trying to get aw- Would you wait a minute lady!?- she's trying to get away,"
I hung up, and went back to Len.
"Sorry, my brother needed to know how to make curry," I lied.
"It's alright," he smiled.
"Tell me this Rin girl. What is she to you?" I asked.
"She," Len hesitated "She's my best friend,"
"Oh," I felt happy. Len was so nice, he's to my interest. As an artist I could tell his history like everything on the back of my hand.
He was normal.
Something happened.
He went through a lot.
He fell in love.
He almost abandoned someone.
He came back.
He saved a life.
He started dating.
He lost her.
He became heartbroken.
Maybe… he'll love again? Someone different though.
Someone like me?
"Len-kun. I have something to say!" I blurted.
"What I-," His phone started to Ring "Sorry,"
"Hello?" he answered his phone.
LEN POV
"Hello?" I asked.
"Len! It's me! Meiko!"
"What's up?"
"I found Rin! Some guy is attacking her!"
"I thought you were working!"
I was already out of the restaurant.
"I… took a break?"
I was out of the mall, running to the carnival.
"What ride is she by?"
"The Ferris wheel!"
I was at the carnival now, hanging up my phone.
Looking around the crowds, I spotted the Ferris wheel a couple rides to the left.
I started running.
Finally I saw them.
"Rei!" I hadn't realized Rui followed me.
"That brother of yours has Rin. I THOUGHT he was making curry!" I yelled.
She looked away. Rin looked much more calm seeing me.
Rei walked over with Rin still in his grasp.
"I'd prefer if you let her go," I said strictly.
"Someone's possessive of his little friend," Rei said "Well I guess I should say it. Stay away from my sister,"
I walked away, Rin following behind.
"Len…" she muttered.
"Rin you made me worried sick! We were all worried sick! Why didn't you go somewhere we'd find you?! I thought you seriously left!" I spun around, and shouted.
She started tearing up, "I didn't have keys to house. The car was locked. A hobo was in my alley. My mom wasn't there to open the door!" she started crying.
"Rin…" I mumbled, as we entered the house.
"I'm sorry!" she shouted.
I pulled her into a hug "It's fine now right? You're here. Miku, and your father are gone. I'm not sure what's up with Miki. School's about to start. I promise things will go as planned from now on,"
Rin sniffled, but nodded.
I sighed. Pressure has been smothering me since Rin got here.
Sometimes I wonder what life may be if I never met her.
I shook my head to rid the thought.
"Len?" I heard Rin say.
"What?"
"I'm hungry,"
I laughed, and left to make some lunch. Being I didn't get anything at the restaurant I was pretty hungry too.
Life, just promise to stay this way from now on? Ya know, NORMAL.
…
Kagami: well Len, I'm afraid that won't be happening!
