"Luka Onee-chan~!! Luka Onee-chan!" A childish voice rang throughout the large mansion.

Luka turned around from the glowing computer screen and crossed her legs lazily as she took off her jacket. The room was getting hotter because Lim had a thing for keeping the whole house a little too warm. She was wearing her winter Red twilight uniform, a white long sleeved jacket and a tight unbuttoned vest with a pair of black slacks.

She was working on a assignment from Raiden. It was a fairly boring one, just a little background check on this prestigious family or whatever. Luka took off her glasses and hung them in her shirt, wiping off the sweat on her forehead. She then heard the air conditioning come on and smiled like a angel saved her. Another childish call was heard and she propped a elbow on the backrest of her chair and looked behind her to the door.

There was the 14 year old blonde girl, her hair now almost to her hips. She vowed she would never cut her hair short, and she rarely even trimmed it anyway. Her eyes were as bright and childish as they ever were.

"Onee-chan, do you know where Onii-sama went?" Riku asked, tilting her head to the side in a cute gesture of curiosity.

Luka smiled. "He's going to be gone for half of the month. But don't worry, he put Lim in charge of everything. It's nice, we'll all have a nice little break from all the assignments he's been giving us lately. I'm pretty exhausted myself, and I'm not the one assassinating people."

"Can I come in?" Riku asked, curiously. "You're doing something important, aren't you? Am I bothering, Onee-chan?"

"No, Ri-chan. You're not bothering me at all. You can come in." Luka laughed as she wave for Riku to come in. "I'm almost done with this little request your brother gave me before he left, and we could eat some fruit when I'm done, alright?"

"Okay." Riku smiled and trotted in, sitting on a swirly chair beside Luka's.

She looked up at Luka as she started to type again. This is what they usually did when Riku was done with her daily lessons.

Lim would go somewhere, and Raiden would usually go with him. Len or Rin would still be at school, and she didn't really have a lot of friends except for her families short-lived 'Clients' whose parties Riku and Raiden would rarely go to. So she didn't have anyone to talk to. So she would take a small swirly chair and sit next to Luka, studying what she was doing. Meiko and Kaito would go to school as part timers, and sometimes Meiko didn't even go because she had a hangover. Sometimes Gakupo would come in, flirt with Luka (thought Riku thinks it's just talking) complement Riku like a gentleman, then go away to do whatever the heck he does.

Anyway, after that Luka would give Riku some ice cream or even better, fruit~!

Riku held up her phone and looked at the time. She frowned, "Onee-chan, can time become slower when you want something to happen?"

"Not really, Ri-chan. You might think it's going slower, but it's actually not." Luka said, giggling at the question. She patting Riku's head, she huffed and pouted. She wasn't usually this impatient. "Let me guess, you want to show everyone your new uniform design?"

Riku smiled, nodding her head. "Yep!"

Luka smiled wholeheartedly and stood up, Riku scrambling up to feet. The blonde clung to the sea-food loving woman's hand and Luka lead Riku down the grey hallway, the girl looking out to the sky. The sky was shrouded in grey, but it wasn't going to rain.

Riku sighed; she loved the rain and wished it would rain tonight. She loved the rain just as much as she loved Len running his hands through her hair to calm her down in lightning storms.

"I've got a very good looking snack for you, Ri-chan." Luka said as she pulled out a apple from a hiding place and started to get it ready for Riku to munch on.

Riku watched in a daze as Luka washed the apple under the facet water. That big bright red apple that made Riku's mouth just want to overflow with drool! Of course, only eating fruit just made her feel that way, she didn't feel like that towards veggies.

"Here ya go, Ri-chan." Luka said, tossing the tempting looking apple to the hungry girl.

Riku caught it with a cute look. She couldn't wait to devour it! She sweat dropped. Maybe I'm getting a little too excited…… She shrugged as she closed her eyes and lifted the apple to her mouth, a smile on her face. She was just about to bite it, when-

"WE'RE HOME!"

Riku opened her eyes and looked over to the side when she heard the double doors slam. She hastily but gently put the apple down on the counter and trotted out of the large kitchen.

Luka smiled as she picked up the apple and put it in a hiding place only she, Lim, and Raiden knew about. It was the cabinet that was filled to the brim with sweets, but none of the others knew about it! She hid the apple up there because she knew Riku would want to eat it later. Or maybe she should let the older ones, like Kaito and Meiko, about this little secret….?

-:-

Len through his backpack on the couch and plopped next to it, closing his eyes and resting his head on the back of the couch. Miku bounced up and down with Rin, the girl with the pigtails was so excited! She actually got a secret lover, whose name was going to be kept a secret to only Miku. Kaito was watching and munching on a chocolate ice cream taco as he watched Zumi scold Mamoru for getting into another fight with a wannabe gang while they were walking home. Gakupo went to go look for Luka, and try to work his "Casanova" charms on her once again.

"This week went by sooo slow." Len said, sighing as he felt the warm feeling in the air.

"I know! TGIF!" Rin said, talking her text talk.

Miku squealed and said "TGIF!"

Mamoru rolled his brown eyes and looked to Zumi, pointing over his shoulder to Zumi's look-a-like cousin and short haired blonde. "And you say I'm weird. Just look at them. They're freakin preps."

"We are sooo not!" Rin said, throwing her schoolbag at Mamoru's head, which he dodged. Rin huffed and put one hand on her hip and looking away. "Zumi, take your Dog of a Boyfriend out of my sight!"

"He is sooo not fit to my boyfriend!" Zumi said, her cheeks growing a deep red. Mamoru didn't say anything, just put one hand in the air and yawned. Rin smiled in triumph as Zumi grabbed the back of Mamoru's uniform shirt and dragged him down, making him fall on his back. She was about to drag him up the stairs like that, until-

"You guys are home!"

Everyone turned to see Riku in her new more Kawai* Red Twilight uniform. She had a black Gakuen jacket and a red plaid skirt, skin tight black socks that stopped a inch from her skirt hem. She was smiling as bright and childish as ever. She peeked into the Luka's working room consciously

They all stared before having their own little reactions. Rin smiled happily and ran to Riku, hugging her arm while complementing her on her outfit. Miku hugged Riku from behind and wound her arms around the girls' neck, rubbing her head against hers like a child to a cat. Zumi dropped Mamoru, causing him to hit his head and yep, and squealed over the outfit she picked out for Riku. Len opened his eyes and shot straight up, leaning over and covering his nose so the bleeding would stop. Mamoru soon joined the squealing girls.

"You're wearing shorts under this, right? ........Good." Zumi said, puling Riku's skirt up slightly.

"You look hot." Mamoru said, in a teasing type of way. They knew he was over the Lolita type, and he only had eyes one lady, which remains a mystery.

"You should come out with me this Saturday; you'll attract boys with this little thing." Rin said, smiling as she pulled on the hem of Riku's skirt. Riku blushed a deep red and pouted.

"And they'll say you're hot." Mamoru added.

"You're so cute." Miku said, squeezing Riku's neck with her arms slightly.

"And ho-" Mamoru's face hit the ground and Len's foot was on the back of his head, anger written all over his face.

He glared down at the now unconscious "Rebel" and looked up, smirking as he dusting invisible specks off of his shoulder. No one will look at my Hime-sama like that, not even my friends.

Len was now very protective over Riku; more than he has ever been. He even became a little hostile to Kaito for making Riku cry.

Kaito was teasing and pointing to her chest saying she was still way under developed. Of course, this made the girl blush red and burs out crying. And Len beat the crap out of Kaito, then carried up the sobbing girl to her room and they didn't come down until Len calmed himself down. Well, Len's always been abusive towards Kaito, but this was different. And the strange thing is that no one ever suspected this slight change in Len's mood.

Len walked away from the bleeding-from-the-nose Mamoru and smiled at Riku, waving for her to come over. She smiled and trotted over to him, hugging him. She was only to his chin, so she had to press her ear to his chest.

"Len! Len! Do you like my outfit?" Riku asked, looking up at him.

He chuckled and rustled Riku's hair, happy that after a long day of school and fan girls trying to rape him he could feel the touch of his best friend. But her delicate touch always made him blush a little, and his heart would beat a little faster than it usually would. Sometimes he even wanted to throw her over his shoulder and run upstairs so they could be alone, but he never did that.

Riku seemed to not notice, because she would always hold onto his sleeve or shirt like she's done for the longest of times.

"Yes, you look great." Len said, and Riku closed her eyes and smiled up at him.

Len looked to the side to see Zumi coughing and Miku turning around to try and hide her smirk, while Rin pouted because Riku didn't run up and hug her like that anymore. Kaito came strolling in from the kitchen with a new ice cream and dropped it.

"Hubba Hubba!" Kaito said, smirking and appearing next to Riku. She blushed and clung closer to Len, who glared up at Kaito. "I take back my joke about being flat chested! Man, you've sure-"

Len didn't need to beat the brains out of Kaito this time. Miku did what she wanted and dragged Kaito away and up the stairs with a "HMPH!" while Kaito was knocked out and bleeding from the nose with a smile on his face. Riku and Rin stared after them with a confused look while Zumi shook her head. Len just sighed in relief and pushed Riku away by her shoulder, making her blink and look up.

"You should change out of that, go change back into your regular uniform." Len said, turning the girl around and nudging her up the different stairwell.

"B-But why, Len?! You said it was pretty." Riku said, looking over her shoulder to him.

"It's too revealing, and I don't want you to start crying when Mamoru and Kaito verbally molest you." Len said, and Riku ran up the stairs when she heard the word "Molest". She really didn't know what that meant, but she read it in a book and she asked Meiko. Meiko had once said it's a very bad thing and it would scar her for life. Len looked up the stairwell and called after her, "And take a shower while you're at it!!!"

"Okay, I will!" her voice echoed. Now Len could hear her bare footsteps running down the hallway and a door slam shut.

Len walked up the rest of the way, getting to the head of the stairs and sliding against the wall to the ground, putting his head in his hands and put his knees to his chest. His mind now jumbled full of stuff he shouldn't think about.

'Take a shower' he said. He then began to daydream once more.

He walked in only a towel once. She drying off in her room, and he didn't know it and decided to walk in without knocking. She was sitting in front of the mirror, the towel over her body. She was still flustered from the hot bath, and her hair was still dripping wet and plastered around her face and back. She barely noticed him before he quickly dodged out of the room with a full on nosebleed. She didn't seem to mind the intrusion and didn't really tell anyone, but Len was deeply concerned.

The bad thing was Len wanted to be the thing that made her hair and body wet.

Soon those little daydreams lead him to using girls from his school to satisfy his little hunger.

Yes, he knew it was wrong to use girls only for their body, and not to share anything like that when you don't love the person, but he can't help it. The girls were inviting and once they got what they wanted they would leave him alone, and he really needed it in some ways. But, despite all of the girls' he seduced and used at his disposal, all of those beautiful, well developed high school girls, still didn't push away the thoughts and dreams he has of his little white flower. They still didn't make him blush and stutter like she did, and make him feel like a love struck child.

Len blushed a deep red and sighed. He needed to get a hold of himself if he wanted everyone think he was just Riku's little overprotective knight.

-:-

"Onee-chan, what are you looking at?"

Luka was out in the town doing something with Gakupo, Riku knew they were just getting out of the house to go flirt with each other again. Rin was up on the second floor with Miku, trying to figure out who was Miku's lover. The Perv Duo (Mamoru and Kaito) were in the living room playing some sort of video game with the door locked. Riku stopped by the kitchen to see Meiko slumped on the stool on the bar, Lim serving her martinis and getting her a little tipsy. Riku didn't even know where Len was.

It also has been a couple of days since Riku had shown her new outfit to everyone, and she hadn't worn it since.

Zumi looked up to see Riku leaning over the back of the couch, looking at the script that Zumi was reading. She changed back into her black and red skirt and baggy long sleeved shirt that didn't fit Rin anymore.

Zumi smiled as Riku walked around to the front of the couch, plopping down next to her. Riku hugged her arms around her knee's as Zumi pulled the large hat off of her head, making the blonde girl pout. Riku then averted her eyes to the large paper book that was white and had only small print as the cover.

"What's that?" Riku asked, pointing up at it.

"It's called a Play." Zumi explained, rolling the thing up. "You know, just like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. That book that you read was a play once, too."

"Really? Then what's it about?"

"Why don't you read it and see?" Zumi suggested, handing over the rolled up script to the girl.

Riku blinked and took it, skimming through it quickly. She got absolutely none of it. But she knew what kind of book it was, because all of the words in parentheses that described lots of emotion. Riku looked up at Zumi.

"Is this a tragedy romance, like Romeo and Juliet's?" Riku asked, handing the script over again.

"Not really." Zumi said, shaking her head and tapping the rolled up script on her knees. "It's about this one girl who's childhood friends with this one guy. But she's betrothed to another, and she soon figures out that she's in love with her childhood friend in a….." Zumi stopped to think of the right words to describe it without ruining Riku's innocent mind. "Uh….body-ish way. Anyway, she admits it and the friend obliges, then they continue their…..affair….until they figure out they fell for each other in more than that one way."

"Whaaa?" Riku asked, then her eyes widened and she shifted to stand up. "Oooh, I….I think I get it."

"You do?!" Zumi nearly fell over in shock. "H-H-H-How?!"

"I've never told anybody this, but……'You know……I've seen him for awhile now, and every time my breath it taken away from me'." Riku finally decided she might as well stay at her seat on the couch, since her legs didn't feel like letting her stand up today. She closed her eyes with a sigh. "'I know inside seeing him is very wrong, but I just don't understand what's happening to me. I need to see him. When I don't my body hurts so much, and when I do I never get or have enough of him. I want him to call my name, for him to smile down at me, for him to hold me. I want to know what kind of feeling it is that I'm feeling………'

"'Why do I feel this way? What is this feeling? I want to know, but I know I can't tell anyone. They would say I'm too young to understand, but I know you will'." Riku opened her eyes and looked over to Zumi. "Can you help me, Onee-chan? I really don't understand what this means……"

Zumi's face grew worried. She is not talking about Len……

"Riku……Who are you seeing?"

Len was listening.

He had his back against the wall and listening in closely with a shadow over his eyes. He wanted to go with out with Riku to show her the view up in the woods. To get a little closer then he was, maybe even stop this wanting for her. But now he knew that Riku liked someone else in this way, not him.

He felt so confused, how come she didn't like him back after all this time they were around each other? He knew almost everything about her, and he told her everything, and he entrusted everything, even his heart, to her. How come she couldn't fall for him like he did for her?

He could hear the hesitation in her voice. "Huh? Wha-"

"Young lady, don't you dare even try to lie to me now. Who are you sneaking out to go see, Riku?"

"Well….I'm-"

Len dodge away from his hiding place, not making a sound as he ran down the hallway and towards the Study. There was the thing that he vowed he would never use it on anyone, but now he was seconding those thoughts. He walked into the tall-roofed study and looked around at all of the tall bookcases that surrounded him. He wandered around for a long time before he finally found what he wanted.

It was a old dark blue book that brought back a lot of memories.

It was the bed time reading book Len would read to Riku and Rin when they were little. It was a very old folk tale, and Rin really didn't like it, but Riku absolutely adored it. She would beg Len to read it to her every night for three years straight. And he would oblige every single time. It was the tree's secret until they got caught reading it by the still-cheerful-at-12 o' clock Zumi.

Len pulled the book out of the bookshelf and reached in the empty rectangle hole. He reached and stretched his arm out until he found what he wanted. He pulled out the small box and smiled to himself. He opened it to reveal a small vial with a red ribbon around it lazily.

There were originally two vials. He got it from an old man who wandered around the borders of the house in the woods one night long ago. He gave him the box, knowing something Len didn't. He gave him the box, telling him the effect of it. Len put it away, but when he checked it the next morning, there was only one left. He soon found out what happened to it, and also found out who Miku's lover was all in the same night.

Who ever knew she and Kaito would steal something of his to do such a thing?

But soon after that incident of looking in through a small crack in the door is when he realized his feelings towards his Hime.

He wanted her, not the ways he did when he was little. He wanted her to want him back, and he fantasized the day when he would get enough courage to sneak into her room and take her without a second thought. He wouldn't care if she cried or not, pleaded for him to stop. He wanted her to be his, but he knew that she wouldn't consent.

So he would use this.

It was a very powerful drug that Len knew he was immune to. It was a drug that would make Riku his forever. It's a very different drug, but it's called by the name of the powerful drug that caused the misunderstanding of Juliet's death.

Cantarella.

-:-

"Len! Len!"

They were in the rose garden, the sun straight about their heads. The walls of the rose bushes were still growing up to the sun, and literally no one could see the two unless they were up on the roof of their home. Len had a perfect plan about what he was going to do with the Cantarella, and he knew that Riku would be so trusting in him and take it without hesitation.

Len had the Cantarella vial behind his back, his face blank and eyes wide as he snapped out of thought by Riku's voice. Len looked up from his thoughts to see Riku twirling around on the heels of her shoes, giggling to herself as she did so.

"Look at this, Len." She turned around to show him a rose, big and red and still veiled in little dew drops from this morning. "Isn't it pretty?"

Len forced on a smile. "Yeah, it is."

Riku giggled and put the flower to her lips, kissing it. She always did that to the roses she picked, she said it would make them last longer if you but love into them. She twirled and hummed before wandering in front of Len, going farther into the maze and heading the path towards the large tree hidden in the heart of it. It was her second favorite hiding spot in the whole world, next to under her bed.

Len pulled the Cantarella out from behind his back. This was a perfect time to give Riku the Cantarella. He'll tell her it was candy, or some new medicine Luka wanted her to try out to protect her from ever going berserk like the Velvet Moon last year. He'll give her the Cantarella, and she'll be his.

Len looked at Riku's delicate steps as she walked with a dance in her step, and instantly put the Cantarella back into his pocket. His face had shame written all over it. How could he give this to her? Just because this drug would help him with one thing he was after, it wouldn't with the other. And how could he do such a shameful thing? Len was now very angry to himself, and put on a smile as he continued to follow and listen and speak few words to his Hime.

Soon it was time to go back in.

Everything was quiet as they walked in through the glass doors in the back. The sound of the Grandfather clock ticking echoed everywhere, making Len even more agitated. Riku walked quietly as she headed towards the kitchen.

"Luka Onee-chan said that she and Meiko Onee-chan were going to make a Russian dish for dinner tonight." Riku said, trotting towards the kitchen.

She reminded Len of the innocent little girl she used to be, smiling happily like that. As if she hadn't grown up to have feelings for some guy Len didn't even know about.

As he listened to the irritating ticking he remembered the times when they were little. The times where she would sleep next to him and he only felt pure happiness when Riku would sleep between Rin and himself. And now they were older, and he felt that he would only feel happy if she gave only him everything, her heart and her body.

A wave of irritation crashed over him and he snapped.

Len grabbed the vase that was standing on a small pew next to him and hurled it to the glass case of the Grandfather clock. He watched as the shards of glass flew up and danced around him slowly, and the shocked face Riku gave when she walked in. Her feet got cut slightly when she took a step into the wide hallway.

"Len!?"

-:-

Len was forgiven for breaking the Grand Father clock.

But this little flash of anger caught Lim's and Luka's attention. Riku just thought Len was mad about something she said, and after a hour of reasuring, Len soon convinced her it wasn't her fault.

-:-

"Nani!? That's the biggest apple I've ever seen, Onee-chan!!!!!"

Miku held out the apple to Riku as she leaned over the counter, Kaito next to her. Riku was absolutely dazzled by the thing that was being given to her. It was even bigger than the one Luka showed her a couple of days before!

And speaking of that, I still didn't eat it. Riku thought.

Miku held it so her long green painted nails didn't dig into the blood red skin of the apple. Every girl in the Red twilight had perfect semi-long nails, so it was natural for them to be careful about carrying delicate stuff. She was wearing a black short skirt and a dark green spaghetti strap skirt, looking very sexy.

He was wearing a tight blue shirt and black pants, looking equally as handsome as Miku. Kaito looked like he wanted to do something else with Miku instead of give the apple to Riku, but at the same time he also had the same devious smile on his face as Miku.

But, Riku being herself, she was captivated about the huge apple. Riku was wearing a white shirt that fit her perfectly, except for the sleeves that were a little too long, and had on her plaid skirt and long socks again.

"It that really for me, Onee-chan?!" Riku asked, shocked.

"Yes, especially for you, Ri-chan!" Miku smiled, putting it in Riku's waiting hands. It was so big, Riku had to hold it with both hands, and her hands didn't even touch.

"But you can't eat this all by yourself." Kaito said, plucking the apple out of Riku's small hands and holding it above her head just out of reach.

"Hey!" the small girl squeaked, receiving a chuckle from Kaito as she sat up on her knees on the stool to try and get it back. But it was still out of reach even if she did that. Riku looked at Miku with tears on the sides of her eyes. "Ano, Onee-chan! Tell him to stop and give it back!"

"But he's right, Ri-chan. You can't eat it by yourself." Miku said, crossing her arms over her chest.

Riku tilted her head to the side. "Nani?"

"Yeah, it's far too big to eat all by yourself." Kaito said, lowering the apple to Riku's waiting hands. He patted the blonde girls' head and smiled down at her. "You should share it with someone. Someone you like."

Riku blinked before blushing a light pink. But despite the blush she nodded and smiled innocently up at Kaito. "I'll share it with Len!"

"Atta girl!" Kaito said, rubbing Riku's hair lightly before pushing her off her stool. "Now, go share that wonderful apple with Len. And make sure you eat the whole thing, or else we'll never give you such a big apple ever again. Got it?"

"Got it!" Riku said, turning on her heel and running towards the back and to the rose maze.

Miku giggled into her hand as Kaito wound his arm around her waist, looking at the innocent girl run towards their little set up.

"I hope this works." Miku said, that little sly smirk still on her face. She looked up at Kaito. "If Leader-sama finds out about this, we'll be as good as dead."

"We won't get caught." Kaito said, kissing Miku on the lips. After breaking the passionate kiss he let Miku catch her breath as he smirked. "Len better be thankful we like to nose around in his business."

-:-

Len said he was gonna meet her there after she was done talking to Kaito and Miku, and was waiting for her in the middle of the maze garden. He was just standing around under the tree, looking up at the sky and wondering what was taking his Hime-sama so long.

He leaned against the old tree, one hand in his pocket with a rose in his other hand. He rotated it between his fingers, deep in his own thoughts. It was even bigger than the one Riku had shown him the day he broke the clock, and it was slightly prettier because the ends faded into white. Riku might even forget the one she picked and take his.

He grimaced. Yeah, right. She wouldn't accept my feelings. She likes another guy……

"Len!" He heard someone call.

Len looked up to see Riku running around the former and to the shaded space the tall tree provided. Len hid the rose behind his back as he watched her stop in front of him and lean over to take a breath. Once she straightened out she had her hands stretched on her sides and her face was flushed, probably because she ran the whole way.

"Guess what?" They both said at the same time, and they both blushed.

"You go first!" Riku said, before Len could say it first. Len closed his eyes and sighed.

"H-Here," He took out the beautiful and exotic rose from behind his back and held it out in front of Riku, turning his head and looking to the left to hide his blush. "I-I found this when I got lost a little while back. And I picked it, because I knew you would wanna see it."

"Woooow." Riku said, her god eyes wide in shock. She leaned over and touched the petals. "It's so pretty, Len. I can't believe I've never seen a rose like this in the garden. I guess I hadn't seen everything in this garden yet."

Len watched as she only touched the rose, never took it out of his hands or anything. She just touched and stared. Why didn't she kiss it, like she did all the other roses that were picked for her? Len frowned slightly and came out with his question.

"A-Aren't you gonna kiss it?"

Riku looked up at him and blinked, why did he ask that? She just shrugged and leaned down, taking his hands in hers and kissing the rose stuck between his hands. She then looked up and smiled up at him. "There, now it'll live longer."

Len smiled back slightly, and then patted her head. "S-So, what did you wanna tell me?"

"Oh yeah! I wanted to show you this!" Riku said, taking the apple out of the shoulder bag Len didn't even notice until now. It was big in her hands, which made Len chuckle slightly. "Miku-nee and Kaito-nii gave it to me. They said I could have it, but I had to share it with someone and that I had to eat it with them today. So do you wanna share it with me?"

"I'll be honored to share something with you, Ri." Len said, smiling before Riku took his sleeve in her hand and tugged him to the tree.

They both sat under the cover out the willow tree, sitting next to each other. Len pulled out a small pocket knife and cut it in half, giving one portion to Riku and kept the other for himself. Riku then started to talk on and on about something that Len didn't pay attention to, and soon it was Len who was rambling and Riku the one listening. She had her knees to her chest and the apple never left her lips as she munched.

Then as soon as they took their last bites they started to feel weird. First it was Riku.

Her toes were moving and rubbing against each other nervously, and her face was as red as the apple they just ate. She fingered and clutched her knee's, hiding the little whimpers she was now making. She was freaking out inside. What the heck am I doing?!I feel so hot…..

Len looked over to Riku, his face equally as red. His face hadn't felt this hot since the time Meiko slipped him a shot of pure whisky. But he knew this was more different than that. He continued to stare at his bodily attraction as she turned to him, her face redder than his own.

"L-Len, I feel weird." She said, now rubbing her knee's together. She put her head on her knee's as Len smirked.

She looks so cute now. He thought lazily, getting up and crawling over to her. She looked up at him with daze and sleepy eyes as he twined a strand of her hair into his hand and crashed his lips on her.

She didn't fight him as he kissed her, taking her first kiss. He knew it was, because if it wasn't she would've been a expert, like he was as soon as he started using those desperate girls. She just sat there as he put his hands on each side of her face, and she put her hands on his shoulders as he pushed her against the tree.

This is wrong! Len thought to himself.

What was happening to them? Why is he suddenly so bold towards Riku and why was she so obedient about this? She would've punched him in the head, even though she would know it would be no use at all. Soon the thing that controlled his body soon controlled his mind as well.

Everything was such a blur. The desperate kissing, the sounds of buttons being undone and clothes rustling, the delicate and rough touching, the licking…

Who cares?

-:-

"Hey, Ri-chan!"

Riku turned around from the kitchen bar table. She was wearing a plaid red skirt and a black shirt, it was one of those old fashion kinds that went past the shoulders and showed her spaghetti strapped shirt that she wore underneath. She was working on a page of hard geometry problems Luka gave her for homework.

Rin hugged Riku around the neck and smiled at the younger girl. "You slept late this morning. Are you alright? You don't have a fever, do you?"

"No, Onee-chan." Riku said, shaking her head and giggling. Miku and Kaito walked in, Kaito smirking and Miku pouting.

"You still must be exhausted after doing that!" Miku said, shaking her head and punching Kaito in the arm. Riku looked up at Rin, who shrugged and rolled her eyes. Miku looked up and saw Riku, then looked confused. "Your awake still?"

Riku's confused expression deepened. "What are you talking about, Onee-chan? It's only 6:25, it's not even close to my bed time yet. The sun hasn't even set all the way yet."

Miku blinked, equally as confused. "But you and Len-"

Kaito covered Miku's mouth before she went blabbing it in front of Rin. Riku waited as she watched Miku struggle against Kaito and Rin looking at the math problems and complaining on how hard looking it was. As soon as Kaito and Miku calmed down they sat on the bar stools next to Rin and Riku.

Then Rin changed the subject and started to argue with Miku about which J-Pop boy singer was the hottest of them all. Riku just start there while twirling and fiddling with a piece of her hair as Kaito drank some weird looking thing. Riku seemed out of it, her eyes more clouded than usual. She didn't even notice Kaito when he started to make weird faces at her.

"Hey, Ri-chan!" Riku blinked back into the real world and looked over to Rin, who was waving her hand in front of her face as well. Rin pouted and crossed her arms over her chest. "Why are you so dazed, huh? What are you thinking about?"

Kaito and Miku looked over Rin' shoulder to see Riku blushing slightly, then rubbing the back of her head as a nervous gesture.

"Ano, I was just thinking about this one dream I had last night." Riku explained. She then began to weave a tale of a dream inside a dream, where she was in her pajama's and she wandered through dreamland with Rin as a Neko girl and they were trying to find the 'Prince of Dreamland.' Miku pouted and huffed while Kaito sighed, both thinking, 'And we went through all that work for nothing?!'

"And you were thinking about that dream?" Kaito asked, now annoyed. He pinched Riku on the cheek. "You still have dreams like a little kid. That's retarded."

Riku blushed and pouted, pinching and then punching Kaito in the arm. Despite how delicate and fragile she looked, she could still hit pretty hard.

"Ow! What the hell!?" Kaito said, rubbing his arm.

"Ano, I am not a little kid!" Riku said, leaning away. "And my dreams are not retarded! Your retarded for thinking they're retarded!!!!!"

"You little-"

"Kaito, stop acting like a baby." The two tuned away from each other to see Len leaning against the doorway, his hands in his pockets.

He had this smirk on his face, a different kind of smirk that he never even wore around them. It was the kind that made the girls in his school come to him volintarily, the kind that made every girls' heart lurch. Even Rin blushed at the sight of it, and she's he's twin! But she shook it off and it left only Miku and Riku blushing.

"She started it!" Kaito accused, then ducked his head before Riku through her mechanical pencil at him. "Hey! You don't want to kill your best assassin, do you?" Then he had to dodge the notebook. He just glared at the young girl, who glared and huffed at him back.

Len shook his head with a chuckle and looked at Riku, then nodded his head over his shoulder as a motion for her to come along. "Raiden sent you something, it's up in your room. Come one, Hime-sama. I'll show you."

Riku blinked with a confused expression on her face, but her confused little frown turned into an small, innocent smile. She nodded, sliding off of her stool and trotting towards him and grabbing his outstretched hand. Len lead Riku up the stairs and out of the trio's sight, Riku talking animatedly about how Luka taught her how to hack into someone's computer.

Miku put her elbows on the bar table and smiled dreamily. "Aw, those two are just so cute………"

"You know, I just noticed this right now." Rin said, rubbing the back of her head. "Since when did Ri-chan start wearing chokers again?"

-:

Len smirked to himself when he heard Rin's sentence as he led Riku down the hallway. If only she knew.

He had heard Miku and Kaito's conversation before they walked in to join Riku and Rin. He knew that they injected Cantarella into the apple before giving it to both Riku and him. They wanted to see what would happen if the knight and the princess would do if they were each other when they ate it, but Kaito, being the little pervert he is, wanted them to take each other's virginity.

But what Kaito didn't know is that Len wasn't even a virgin anymore and that Len didn't really deflower Riku after all. This is was because they didn't inject enough Cantarella into the apple, and soon Len overcame it before things went a little too far. And now Riku thought it was a dream, a really weird dream that made her try to get the blurry images out of her head by shaking her head all day. Sure she saw the hickeys on her neck, but she didn't know what hickeys were or what they looked likie. She just thought they were insect bites, and decided to cover them up with her chocker.

Len opened the door to reveal a small white teddy bear and a small letter from Raiden on Riku's large bed. Riku squealed and pounced on the bear, holding the letter out for Len to come and read it. Len sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at the open letter, waiting for Riku to sit next to him before reading it with a soft smile.

Let Riku think it was a dream.

Len's smirk widened as he continued to read aloud.

Dreams like that come by more often than you think.

-:-

Oh Len! You pervert, you! XD I guess Mamo and Kaito rubbed off on you~

Finally! Finished!

Okay, I've had a little writers block and left this alone for awhile. And after the writers blonde, OMG! You don't even know how much revising and editing I had to do on this little short and slightly confusing chapter. I'm beginning to think my little writers block is starting to fade.

And after looking and rereading this thingy, something hit me. You must be thinking. "WHO OR WHAT IN THE HECK WAS RIKU TALKING ABOUT?!" in the living room scene.

Well, let's have a look, shall we? We shall pick it up when Len didn't hear the whole conversation!

-:-

"Young lady, don't you dare even try to lie to me now. Who are you sneaking out to go see, Riku?"

"Well….I'm-" Riku stopped and looked around, hearing something. Once she realized no one but Zumi was with her she shrugged. "It was a line from a book I was reading."

"……." Zumi stared in disbelief. Then relief washed over her and the anger floated away. Then something hit her and she stood up fast, smacking the back of her head. "What in the hell are you reading!?"

Riku blinked, holding her head as Zumi slapped the back of it. "Mamoru-nii saw me reading that teen romance, you know, Twilight? Anyway, I was reading it and Mamoru-nii took my book away and said it sucked. Then he gave me a lot of really good romance novels. But I don't understand the meanings of some words. Like, Hot Member or take her into him and-"

"WHAT THE HELL!?" Zumi said, falling back over in shock. Riku's been reading smut romance novels this whole time?

"Yep." Riku said, nodding her head childishly. "But it don't understand half of it, like I said."

Mamoru you are gonna pay for this! Zumi thought. She could just see Mamoru smirking while holding the piece sign after giving Riku the novels. He's just lucky she didn't understand the Sex scenes, because if she did, Mamoru would be shot to death by Raiden and Len.

"But Mamoru said if I didn't tell anyone, he would give me the Manga version of all of them. he said it's a better visual, since I don't understand any of the 'Real Love scenes' as Nii-san tells me."

"Ri-chan, listen to me." Zumi said, grasping Riku's shoulder. "When Mamoru gives you the Manga, tell me. You cannot, I repeat, do not, open them, even if they look alright. Okay?"

"But I wanna read them." Riku said innocently. "I-"

"No fruit and Len for a week." Zumi said, making Riku squeak.

"Alright! Alright! I won't read it, okay!"

"Good. Anyway, why did you memorize those lines from some book anyway?"

"I don't really know. I guess I memorized it while trying to figure out what it was saying." Riku said, shrugging.

Zumi sweat dropped. Man…….I guess even a Smut Romance novel can't break her innocence. Sheesh, if that doesn't…… then what will?

-:-

So it really was all a misunderstanding in the end. 0.0
