Chapter Two: The Challenge

To be entirely more accurate, Len's heart has skipped quite a few beats. Rin's heart had as well when her brother came along, but for entirely different reasons.

She knew what that dumbfounded, glassy eyed look meant, and she was not pleased.

Not in the least.

Still, she smiled her best angel's smile at her date and looked to her brother, "There you are!" she beamed falsely, scooting closer to him on the couch they were sharing, "Kaito, this is my darling younger brother, Len."

Len snapped out of his mesmerized state to counter with a sharp, "We're actually twins. She was born five minutes earlier."

Kaito smiled, "I can tell, you two look so much alike!"

They frowned.

Kaito blanched, and then began to stutter nervously, "W-well, not to say you're manly, or you're feminine… you just… uhh… have similar facial features."

"I knew what you meant." Len replied, and took a seat on the other side of Kaito. Kaito smiled at him, and Rin frowned.

"So, Len!" Rin chirped, though it was frighteningly false, "How's your girlfriend?" she asked.

Kaito had a strange look in his eye, and Rin didn't know whether to be angry or pleased.

"We broke up forever ago." Len replied, his eyebrow raised, "Don't you remember?"

"Oh, yes." She hissed, "Of course."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," Kaito apologized, "I'm sure you'll find someone else soon!" his smile was so innocently sincere, even Rin almost found it hard to get made over the provocative (at least to her one-track mind) statement.

Almost being the key word.

"Len… can I talk to you alone for a second. In the kitchen." With sharp objects at my disposal.

Before Len could protest, Rin stood and grabbed his upper arm. She dragged him mercilessly (he was pretty sure the Indian burn was intentional) into the kitchen, closing the door almost too quietly.

And then there was silence.

Painful, terrifying silence.

Rin took a deep breath, and the beast was unleashed, "What the hell are you trying to pull here?" she hissed, her words soaked with arsenic.

"I'm not doing anything." He replied, unable to hide the satisfaction in his voice, "I'm just trying to have a nice conversation with your friend."

Rin only seemed to get more insulted, "I know what your doing! You like him too, don't you?"

"We're twins. We're bound to have some similar tastes."

"I thought you were straight!"

"I never said I was, though! You're always calling me a shouta, anyway." He reasoned.

'Well, you are!" Rin accused then huffed, "Oh, well! I'm sure Kaito's into girls, anyway."

"Mmhmm."

"Don't give me that tone!" Rin nearly shrieked.

"I'm just saying. The look he gave me-" Len's eyes and voice reflected the haughtiness he was feeling.

"You're gross! He was just being polite." Rin confident air returned, "I bet even if you were coming on to him, he would pick this beautiful creature instead." She gestured to herself.

"Is that a challenge?" Len asked, smirking.

"I guess it is. Let the most talented, most beautiful, and most feminine win!" she giggled.

"I think I've already won, then." Len replied.
