Chapter 9! Wow, already? Thanks for reading, I have no idea how long I'm going to keep this up. God, this chapter is so dramatic, and fluffy, I have no idea how you will react. HEEEYYY! GUESS WHAT! MY SCHOOL HAS MANGA IN THE LIBRARY! To some of you guys, that's not a big deal, but my old schools were very strict, so something like this is like a gift from the heavens, I found +anima! Another random thing I found out, Switzerland and Liechtenstein remind me of Rin and Len, 0.o….Otherwise, the reviews were so fricken awesome, god I love you guys.

Enjoy~
Dedication- to Petal (this name I had to make up) who was soft hearted, and kind, but loved to cuss out Russo and Shorty. (she was Lysa's best friend) She is a runner and an amazing slide climber.
Declaimer- RRRAAWWWRRRR! … … … … damn, doesn't anything scare you? I don't own Vocaloid
Lily POV (It's the weekends, and I love Lily, she's just awesome)
I woke up and looked around my room, I really needed to clean. Meh, I'll live. I sorted through my pile of clothes that were clean and dressed for the day. I heard Rin shuffle, kick, and squeak all night, it was really making me worried about her rest. HEY I KNOW THAT DISBELIEVING LOOK! I care for my sisters a lot! Sure hearing them scream in the car is satisfying, and watching them flush in embarrassment from a story around their friends is a little fun, but I still care for their well-being!
"Rin?" I opened the door to my sister's room. The smell of citrus and soap filled my sniffers. I stifled a sneeze and peered at the orange bed. Sheets and blanket were sprawled everywhere, one leg hung off, her head between her hands.
"G-good morning" Rin looked up, and moved to a sitting position, dark rings of sleeplessness around her dull blue eyes. When I find out who did this to her, I will pound them into cat feed, then give them to the old lady down the block.
"go to sleep, Rin" I urged, pushing her down. She fell faster than I thought, is it just me, or did she seem light-headed. "Rin, when was the last time you ate?"
"uhh….." Rin hesitated, propping a shaking hand to hold herself up. "er.. Not that long ago?"
"when?" I repeated, she hasn't been eating? That is not good. She mumbled something quietly, but I gave her one of my most threatening stares, and trust me, those are pretty scary, if I don say so myself.
"Yesterday breakfast" she mumbled at last, her stomach giving a monster roar in its displeasure.
"Rin, seriously, what's bothering you?" I sighed, sitting down at the edge of her bed.
"n-nothing! What are you talking about! I'm perfectly fine!" she smiled weakly, but her eyes told me different.
"liar" I growled, she flinched, " Rin, I want to help, please tell me"
"I-I-I'll deal with it myself, I'll be fine" she promised and wobbly stood up, and went downstairs. I didn't believe her, Rin was strong and was practically fearless, but this 'something' wasn't small, it was too big for her. She was scared, vulnerable. I would find out, I will, how you ask? Heh, you forget I'm related to the best information resource in the whole school. Neru Akita.
Neru POV (eh why not? I did Lily's)
I didn't need anything besides my phone, nothing. Well, maybe Dell, and food, but that's different. I sat in my room, I'm not hungry yet, so I'll wait, my hair was down, I wasn't going anywhere anyways.
"NERU!" I frowned a bit at Lily's voice, what did she want?
"yea?" I turned around to look up, my phone buzzed endlessly in my hands. Sigh, each second I receive 5 texts.
"Do you know what's up with Rin?" she asked
"no if I did, I would've told you" I replied shortly, I did miss the old Rinny though….
"let me rephrase that, do you know someone who does?" Lily bit her lip in anxiety, I shrugged. I knew every single gossip, rumor, couple, break-up, and kept track of every tear shed in school. All thanks to my phone, and a couple of well-earned partners. But Rin's was going to be tricky, so far my group of 'partners' didn't report anything about my younger sister.
"I'll check" I replied eager for an answer, I sent out a text. The phone's constant beeping died down. I frowned. This almost never happens, the moment I ask about a person a wave of instant texts overflow my inbox. I waited, just as shock as Lily, maybe more. Did no one really know about Rin? I looked up, ready to say something when. beep! I snapped back to the phone. I clicked the message. It was from my best information giver.
From: Secret Sender
To: NA
I heard she's being bullied by Akaito Neomi
My eyebrow twitched slightly, a boy? Bullying my Rinny? I was about to scream it at Lily when I remembered something.
From: NA
To: Secret Sender
Heard from who?
I clicked send, Lily gave me a questioning look, but I kept her waiting.
From: Secret Sender
To: NA
Piko Honne, Dell's brother, he was telling it to his friends during lunch. But Akaito is a usually laid-back person, he was probably paid to do it
If Lily were me, she would've gone out of the house and ran over Akaito with no mercy what so ever, but I wanted every single detail.
From: NA
To: Secret Sender
Do you think you can find out who bribed him?
I smiled as I hit the green button, if anyone can find out, it's SS.
From: Secret Sender
To: NA
I don't think, I know I can find out, but you'll have to wait till school, I won't stalk Akaito home
I sighed irritably, but oh well, better later than never. I sent an 'ok' then went back to Lily.
"nothing good" I mumbled, I wouldn't tell her about Akaito, yet.
Rin POV ( Time skip! Monday! Again….)
I dragged myself out of Lily's car. I slept less than usual, the mere thought of being in school with Tei scared me.
"Move! Move!" Lily urged me, tugging me out. I groaned, I wanted to sleep so badly.
"Riiiinnnn! What's wrong?" Teto grabbed my other arm, her face begging. I smiled weakly.
" I was so excited, I didn't sleep" such a pathetic lie. Teto frowned at this, she knew me, Miku also looked worried, her eyebrows furrowed. Kaito took a lick from his vanilla Ice-Cream offering it to Miku, who shook her head. Teto gave up trying to get me to talk and went over to Ted, who wrapped a protective arm around her. I sighed, if only I had a boyfriend like them. I felt a hand rest on my head.
"Good Morning, Rin-san" I stood still, frozen, stoned, I knew this voice too well. Len.
"g-good morning" I mumbled weakly, I felt Len's hand tense, then he removed it.
"want to walk to class with me?" he offered, I stared, shocked by this. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Miku, Teto, and Lily off in their giggling session, Neru texting furiously, a smile bound on her face, and the two boys grinning.
"a-actually I was going with Miku, right?" I looked over at my teal friend for support, but she shook her head.
"nope! Kaito's taking me, we just want our time together" she winked and took Kaito's hand. He chuckled, but allowed her to drag him back to class. I looked at Teto, but she was already with Ted, they're classes were in the same general direction. Neru and Lily left me with smug smiles, I groaned inwardly, but I was also cheering. Len and me time! He led me to class, slowly, quietly.
"Are you ok recently?" he asked out of the blue. I wasn't as shocked, I guess my pain is pretty noticeable.
"I'm ok, you guys worry too much" I mumbled, I could feel his blue gaze burning through me.
"Rin-san, are you sure? You seem so…..stressed lately, and you stopped smiling as often, and I'm getting worried…." he trailed off, I stared at him in shock, his voice sounding concerned, like, sincerely, and his face was pointed downwards. He cared for me? He actually noticed how fake my smiles were?
"w-w-well, I guess I'm just tired, but not stressed" I hated making people worry.
"Rin-san, what happened after lunch on Tuesday?" he looked up at me again, his eyes, once they were dull, but they had brightened, a….a pleading look? Since when did he open up this much? I found myself lost in them, captivated, Len had such mesmerizing eyes, how could I resist. I finally shook myself mentally. I-I couldn't have feeling for him! Tei….her name rang eerily in my head, causing me to shudder visibly.
"n-nothing! I-I just went to the bathroom and came t-to class!" crap, I stuttered, I forced my feet to move, it was like moving lead.
"Rin…." I heard him mumble behind me, his voice hurt, my body seized up. R-Rin? Not Rin-san? But Rin? I turned slowly, he looked lost, his hand slightly outstretched. "Rin, please.." God, it was heartbreaking, I wanted to run to his arms, and comfort him. My willpower started crumbling, my legs grew weak.
"Len-san, I-I can't tell you" I told him, a little bit ashamed of myself for being so weak. I couldn't face him, I turned away from him, only to feel a hand clasp my arm.
"Rin, I want to help" he begged, I knew he did, but….I didn't want him knowing. If I told him, and Tei found out, what would she do? Get rid of me, then…maybe get rid of him too, or worse, imprison him, kidnap him. I'm sure Tei was very capable of doing those things.
"I-I'm sorry" I cried quietly, he loosened his grip,
"no, I shouldn't be too hard on you" his mouth curved into a faint smile, "let's go to class" he led me to A-9, walking me to my seat.
"Kagamine-san! Akita-san! Why are you two late?" Kiyoteru's voice made me wince, I glanced ahead, Akaito watched with an eyebrow raised, a smirk playing on his lips.
" I-I wasn't feeling well, so we went to the nurse, b-but I'm fine, just tired." I lied, praying that our sharp teacher would believe it. I let out a silent sigh of relief as he nodded curtly.
"sit down then, here's to review" I felt my eyelids droop, I bit my lip, I must stay awake. I forced my eyes to remain open, all my remaining energy focused on my heavy eyelids. This was going to be a looooong day.
Len POV (Len, so new to the world of love, how cute~ )
I watched Rin all through our classes, she kept bobbing her head, her eyes threatening to fall. It was evident she was exhausted, however, she did perk up when she heard that Tei was absent. Lunch came by quickly, well for me anyways, but for Rin, I think it was near a century.
"Rin!" I watched as Miku approach her friend. "you look sleepy"
"really, Miku?" Rin grunted, turning her dull blue eyes to her friend, "cause I'm bursting with energy"
"Riiiiiiinnnn" Miku began whining, "whhaaaattt'ssss wrroonnnggg?"
"nothing Miku" Rin sighed irritably, leaning back in her chair heavily, "just had a bad night, I guess"
"You were like this on Friday, Thursday, and Wednesday" Miku told her, " and probably on the weekends too…"
"I get it, shut up, I have a migraine" Rin mumbled tiredly, Miku stayed quiet, a frown apparent on her face. Rin's body relaxed considerably, she had fallen asleep.
"what is up with you, Rin?" Miku sighed, her hands resting on Rin's shoulders. The tealette looked up from her friends, and saw me. "do you know, Len-san?"
"no" I shook my head, it was the truth, but I did suspect Tei…..Miku looked at Rin sadly,
"I wish she would open up, she needs to tell" Miku shook her head sadly, "she worries me, she is really strong, but she doesn't like help" I couldn't do anything but listen.
"what do you think is the problem?" I asked, if she had the same idea as me, then it would help.
"I think it's a who " Miku scowled, "Akaito is constantly following her, and watching her, but I don't get it, he rarely gets into any affairs, and she hasn't done anything to offend him"
"He could be paid" I thought, Miku shrugged.
"that's our best lead, I guess" she looked at the sleeping form of Rin again, "I wonder what Rin knows, and why she won't tell us….. You will take care of her, right?" Miku gave me an icy glare, daring me to say no.
"of course, I won't let anything hurt her" I promised, surprised to see Miku beginning to smirk
"fallen for little Rin-Rin, I see" she moved out from between me and Rin, my face grew red.
"h-how?"
"you're opening up, Len" she smiled now, it was less cruel, "your beginning to show more" she pointed at my face, I was blushing, wasn't I?
"Isn't it normal?" I coughed awkwardly, working on paling my face.
"to most people," she admitted, " but not on emotionless, seemingly heartless guys" I raised an eyebrow, instantly I believed her, I was opening up. If Rin helped me accomplish this, it was the more reason to help her overcome this fear. The bell rang, and I tapped Rin's shoulder gently. She jumped shocked scooting away from me, fear in her eyes.
"T-T-Tei! No!" she wailed, our eyes widened, so Tei was the culprit.
"Rin, relax it's me and Len" Miku held up her hands to catch Rin's attention. Slowly, her blue eyes softened, then sharpened with realization.
"I-I didn't did I?" she asked softly.
"Rin, why didn't you tell us it was Tei?" Miku murmured, I stood, useless.
"I-I don't want anyone else to get hurt" she whispered, "I'm sorry, but she-" she covered her mouth, her eyes wide.
"she what?" Miku urged, Rin's gentle blue eyes looked at mine, she was pleading for me. Her eyes watery, she never wanted to harm us, she was too kind for that.
"Miku-san, let her be, she's scared" I gently took Miku away. I held out my hand to Rin. "let's go to class"
"thank you, Len-san" she took it gratefully, but I was quietly shaking, Len-san was too formal. Yes it was polite, but couldn't she trust me? I bit my tongue, that was a stupid question, Rin is experiencing something scary, although I don't know what's so scary about Tei, and she isn't in the best shape to start trusting.
"If you need to talk, I'll always be right by your side" I told her, blushing furiously only when the words were out. Damn, damn, damn, damn, that is embarrassing. My face heated up, and I turned away. Rin's hand suddenly warmed up too. I'm so stupid.
Rin POV (Rinny's reaction)
What? What? WHAT! My face burned, d-did he just say that? I forced my reluctant body to face Len, he was turned away, but his face was red. He really has changed from my first day at school. I liked it the simple change, he was slowly opening like a normal boy.
"L-Len, c-could you repeat that?" I asked nervously, I'm probably just going to embarrass myself, but I needed to know if he really said that.
"If you need to talk, I'll always be by your side" he mumbled even quieter, I was right.
"s-sorry, and um…thanks" I bit my tongue feeling stupid. An awkward silence filled between us. We went into our class and sat in our respective seats. Thank goodness they're a little away from each other, I can't bear the embarrassment.
Neru POV (It's Neru again *yawn* it's 12:30am and I'm tired, but I'll live)
From: Secret Sender
To: NA
I got it, the person your after is Tei Sukone, and apparently she has an obsession issue over this boy named Len Kagamine. She is jealous at Rin for being able to be so close to Len, and is trying to scare Rin away. From what I heard, she has done pretty bad physical and mental damage. NA this is a seriously dangerous girl
My blood froze as I read this, if it was a boy then it was simple, but a girl… I sent a thanks to SS, then left the class. It was the end of the day, and I was going to tell Lily. Lily is much stronger than Tei, I'm sure, and will be able to get Rin's peace again. I ran to my eldest sister's classroom, waiting impatiently by the door, as I watched her talk to Rei. Don't worry Rin, Llily and I will take care of it. Just you wait.
Must…sleep…. Its 12 :36am and I'm dead tired, heck my eyes are hardly open. So this will be quick. R&R, I take request. Anything I forgot will be done next chapter.
Mush Luvve (*yawn*)
