A/N: Sorry this took so long! I was having major writers block! Well, anyway, on with SPICE!
SPICE!
Chapter Six: What a Tangled Web We Weave
It had taken a week for Kaito to un-stun himself, wondering if he should call Len. He thought and thought.
And for good measure, he thought a bit more.
He decided that it would be a good idea to call and get this whole thing straightened out as possible. He picked up the receiver on his land line, and dialed the number that he had engrained in his mind.
"Hello?" a feminine voice picked up, and it was undeniably the voice of Rin.
"Oh, hey Rin. It's Kaito. I was wo-"
"Kaito! Where have you been? We haven't talked in forever! You need to come over." Oh snap, "Should I expect for dinner? We're having mac and cheese!"
"Well, I-"
"Great! See you in an hour or so!" Rin hung up the phone, leaving Kaito to wonder what in god's name just happened.
----------------
Rin knew all about Len and Kaito's little make out session. Len hadn't really said anything about, but the confident smirk on his face when he came back home did not bode well.
Needless to say, Rin was not amused.
Damn that man-whore! Now she needed to win Kaito's affections back. She had been primping and polishing in her room when the phone rang.
Perfect! She thought gleefully when she saw the name on the receiver.
She wasted no time in inviting him to dinner, and of course, he accepted (I mean, who wouldn't?). She went to perfecting her hair and applying gracious amounts of cover up to hide the acne scars on the sides of her face, but made sure to put it on exactly like the Molly-Jay specialist had instructed her.
She would use her feminine wiles to win her man back. Because feminine wiles were something she had on Len.
Right?
--------------------
Kaito came to the house an hour later, and knocked on the door. Rin was almost too quick to answer, "Kaito!" she chirped, and embraced him tightly, "Dinner is all ready. The others are out, so it's just you and me tonight!"
Kaito smiled, but frowned on the inside. He really needed to talk to Len about the whole kissing thing.
Rin led him to the table and served him quickly. She began chatting excitedly, trying to lure Kaito out of his semi-detached state. She tried her feminine wiles, batting her mascaraed eyelashes, and even talking and seductive low tones.
He wasn't paying attention to anything she tried. He was probably thinking about Len. Her boyfriends were always thinking about Len instead of her. He was just more appealing, only because he was so loose.
She stopped talking, and sighed, "Are you even listening to me?" she asked quietly, her bright blue eyes showing a bit of sadness.
Kaito snapped to attention, "O-of course I am!" he replied.
"No you're not." Kaito looked down sighed at her response.
Rin continued, "You're thinking about Len, aren't you?" she asked, playing and chipping away at a finger nail.
"I'm really sorry, Rin… I'm listening, I sw-" Rin cut Kaito off abruptly.
"I know I'm not as easy going as, or as smart as, or as sexy… as my brother…" she swallowed a little, "but… don't you think you could give me a chance?" she asked, the blue eyes beginning to brim with tears. She quickly flipped her head down to stare at her lap, the straightened golden tresses hiding her face
The two sat in silence for a moment, when Kaito heard a soft sniff.
Oh god.
Rin was crying.
Way to be a total jerk, Kaito! He mentally berated himself, You just hurt the girl you were originally planning to date because you kissed her brother. You sir, are an asshat.
"Please don't cry!" Kaito exclaimed, but Rin only snuffled a bit louder, "I'm not that big a deal to cry over!" but Rin shook her head reverently.
"I just want a guy to like me just once… I thought that maybe you would." She looked up at him with her big, baby blues, and Kaito was lost in them.
They were so much different than her brother's, whose eyes always looked so distant and sad. Hers were comforting and warm, and he found himself just as enthralled with them.
He couldn't remember exactly how it happened, but the next thing he knew, he was on the couch, kissing Rin passionately. Her arms were around his neck, and his hands were on her waist. Her taste was sweet, like candy or syrup. It was by far much more appealing that the bitter taste of Len's mouth, but lacked the power or passion his did.
Then the next thing he was aware of was a door opening, "Hey, I'm…" the voice trailed off.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave.
Standing in the doorway was Len himself, eyes wide with shock. The kiss was immediately broken off. Len cast his eyes away, "I'll be in my room." He said abruptly as he walked up the stairs.
Very, very, very tangled indeed.
A/N: OHSIENOSIES. What will happen next? Let's hope my tragedy fetish doesn't get the best of me, though it's possible it will. And, hmm… I thought this story would be longer. I'll add twists to drag it out. ;D Sorry this chapter was so short! I'll try and make the next one nice and long. C:
