Chapt. 14! You know, sometimes my parents can be so….. competitive. (ex. Dad- how was your day? Me- good Mom- do you have friends now? Me- yeah Dad- how many? Me- uh…. Five? Mom- you are smarter than them. Right? Me- … … …? Dad- your not smarter than them! Mom- You have to be top of your class! Me- I didn't say anything! I am Smarter than them! Dad- good *they both walk away* Me- o.o) That is exactly what happened twenty minutes ago. THEY ARE TURNING ME AGAISNT MY OWN CLASSMATES!
OK! Now on to other matters, I HAVE 92 EFFIN REVIEWS! THAT'S ALLLLLOOOOOTTTTTT, …..I love you guys
Kagaminechibi123- hehe, well technically it is supposed to be a humor, but…. *whistle suspiciously* I should've made Len do CPR! Damn!
Ryu-NGS- what an interesting group you have there, lol
The Masked Banana- yeah, I don't really like abnormal pain resistance either. [For example: "no! you can't pull out the knife! It's too deep" tears of pain threatened at her eyes, blood pooling out, "I just want you to live on, to stretch your wings, and fall in love. Forget about me, find someone else you'll be happier"] by this point, I lose interest because the 'dying' character just babbles while blood is gushing out endlessly. *face palm* anyways, this chapter is violence-free (does Lily and Miku's teasing count?) and I do pray for the families of the 9/11 soldiers.
DokiDokiKyuuChan- Rin is ALIVE! It took me a while to figure out how Tei would miss her neck though, -.- … … that has become my trademark emote huh?
CluelessLeaf- my exact reaction when I reread the chapter, just simply. Oh. My. God lol
IceCreamOtaku- -
Mio- *sigh* Chibi, reply properly, or I won't give you the chocolate.
Me- I'm soowwwyyy MMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOO
Thankies! You will find out what happens to Tei, now for the chocolate~ *chomp* god I love these
SheWhoLeavesCrappyReviews- your name is a bit off isn't it? Your reviews are great! Lily and Neru are strong because…..they're Lily and Neru, that's why -.-
Axel yamamoto- you think so? Alright…
Vocal-maiden- lololol (Takase- yea we have room Mio- she's been discharged Me- HOLY HHDFUSI 94 REVIEWSSSS! *froth* Takase- and back in you go)
SoulsOfTeardrops- … … … are you sssssuuuuurrrreee? My writing is ok, but I've seen a lot of better stories with better plots. I feel like crying (in joy of course) THANK YYYYYYOOOOUUUUUU!
Enjoy~
Dedication- to the 9/11 soldiers, I was still in Canada when the attack happened, but I saw it on the news. It was pretty scary, with the fire and everything. To anyone who has suffered because of the tragic loss, I truly hope for a great weekend, and wish you a happier life.

Neru POV
We all waited in the waiting room, Lily was tapping her foot nervously, I was leaning back in my seat. Mom and Dad was far away, like in Australia. My phone couldn't reach them, and they weren't coming back till next year, around…October? My parents ditched us all when Lily turned 13, harsh huh? Lily showed no fear, did she show anger? Yes, multiple times, but fear wasn't Lily. Even now she was slouched on the comfy arm chair, her eyes half-closed, the only thing that appeared nervous was the tapping of her foot. I bit my lip, remembering the last time I had seen Rin. Sterile bandages already stained red, her eyes closed, and she was so quiet and still it sent shivers up my spine. Len went home after his mother called, but not before giving a kiss on Rin's forehead. I would've snapped a photo if Rin didn't look so horrible.
"Are you here for Rin Akita-san's report?" a woman with a clipboard peeked through the door. Lily and I jumped up at once.
"yes" we both started simultaneously, the lady nodded and led us outside into the corridor. She stopped at the emergency room's door.
"Rin-san is doing fine now, her breathing is cleared, and she has no signs of sickness nor memory loss" the nurse paused, we let the information sink, so far so good. "but-" oh crap, the b-word "her shoulder is in critical condition. The weapon has plunged into a nerve, and nearly killed it." we both flinched at the word 'killed' but the nurse continued, "she won't be able to use her right hand as much anymore"
"but Rin is right-handed! Her left side is almost completely useless!" I spoke, "can't she have exercises? Or a surgery?"
"yes, there are some exercises that will help her calibration and strength, but she won't be able to play sports, throw, or use too much physical strength with arm anymore" the nurse replied, she tucked the clipboard under her arm. "I suggest, until the exercises start working, that she has someone to do most thing for her, like writing, feeding, all those simple stuff" Just like that, a plan formed between me and my sister. You can guess can you? After all it is pretty obvious.
"we know someone" Lily smiled, the nurse nodded, and looked inside the emergency room.
"you can't visit her just yet, but she will be able to see you in about five days" she told us, we nodded, it was perfect. Saturday it is.
"thank you" Lily and I bowed respectfully and left with devious smirks, Plan- get Len and Rin together, initiated.
Len POV (Now it's Tuesday, and Neru's POV was in Monday, just saying)
I went to school, yesterday Neru and Lily were gone to check on Rin, so I went alone. When Miku and Teto asked where was Rin, I lied saying that Rin was sick and Neru and Lily were taking care of her. Why I lied? Neru texted me, how she got my number is something I'll never understand, saying that if I told anyone Lily would pull out my hair bald. That got through me real quick.
"Len!" I turned to my left, speak of the devil, or devils. Lily and Neru was rushing towards me.
"how's Rin?" those were the first words out of my mouth. Miku and Teto came over, hearing the name of their friend.
"she is doing ok, the only thing wrong is her arm" Neru explained.
"arm! What happened? She fell off her bed or something and twisted her arm?" Miku was looking at us confused,
"n-no, that's not what happened" I looked at Neru, but it was Lily who noticed my uneasiness.
"it was Tei" her voice came out as a menacing growl, maybe I should've explained.
"what she do!" Teto asked immediately, anger, something she rarely shows, flashing through her red eyes. Lily filled the two in on the attack, while holding onto Neru's arm. By the time she was done, Neru was pale.
"that hurt" Neru groaned, rubbing her purple arm.
"TEI! WHEN I GET TO YOU I WILL SHOVE LEEKS DOWN YOUR THROAT, THEN DUCTTAPE YOUR MOUTH, TIE YOUR HANDS AND FEET, THEN LEAVE YOU IN MIKUO'S CLOSET TO ROT!" Miku looked around for the pinkette, raging on more and more threats, some of them not exactly the definition of appropriate. Luckily for us, the bell rang and we went to class. Miku still fuming.
"what happened to Tei?" I asked, Neru and Lily smiled a bit.
"she is currently being questioned at an asylum with a strait-jacket and choker!" Neru smirked, I would've laughed, if they weren't telling the truth.
"oh" I left them and their sadistic laughing, only to find a dark aura in homeroom. Miku was writing something down on the scrap of paper, glaring at Akaito with so much force I'm surprised he didn't fall off his chair. Instead he eyed her warily, shifting as far away from her as his seat allowed. She threw the paper at him, it collided with his eye. He opened it and slowly turned pale with each word. I saw him swallow a couple times, and once he even twitched. By the time he was done, you could almost see his ghost coming out. That is how scary Miku Hatsune can be.
Rin POV (another time skip, nothing to do at school anymore)
I hurt like hell, my shoulder was throbbing and my throat was dry. I was a corpse, almost literally, almost.
"how are you feeling?" asked the nurse, she had short, bright green hair.
"just fantastic" I mumbled, she laughed.
"I get it, I get it" she winked, and gave me some water, I took a grateful sip.
"thanks... Gumi-san was it?" I guessed
"just Gumi is fine, I'm not a fan of honorifics" she said, and sat down in a chair. "let's talk girl stuff" she suggested I looked at her, "oh come on! It will get your mind off things" I gave in nodding slowly.
"alright" I looked at her warily, if I'm correct, girl talk means boys, dates, and love life. Oooooh crap.
"So, how's you and your boyfriend?" she asked, my eyelids widened.
"who" I demanded, she looked at me confused.
"that boy who came with you on the ambulance!"
"what are you-" I stopped, realization came, my eyes widened. Len went with me didn't he? I thought it was Lily or Neru, but Len? Plus Gumi saw. "th-that wasn't my boyfriend!"
"brother?" she asked
"n-no! he's a friend" I tried, he didn't like me that way! HEY! That day I was probably hallucinating.
"a friend hmm?" she raised an eyebrow, smiling a smile I saw so often on Lily and Miku. "I recall him kissing you on the forehead oh so gently before he left" I blushed red, h-he did WHAT! Oh. My. God. I looked at Gumi with utter shock.
"h-h-he a-a-actually did that?" I squeaked she nodded.
"you two are so in love!" she sighed dreamily, it was like I was her drama clip.
"n-no!"
"denial!~" she sang, so much like another green haired girl I would like to mention. Greenies. (A/N: no offence to green-haired people)
"excuse me?" another nurse came in, "but Rin-san has visitors"
"ah! of course" Gumi stepped out of the way as five people stepped in. Teto, Miku, Lily, Neru, and Len. Of course, perfect timing as usual.
"Rin!" Teto ran to me, hugging my neck, carefully avoiding to touch my shoulder.
"Teto!" I squeezed her with my left arm, she let go, I was attacked by Neru. I choked.
"Rin-Rin!"
"Neru….air….no…..more" I wheezed, she giggled at let me go, I breath rapidly. Looking at the other three.
"Miku, Lily! Len!" I smiled, they grinned back, but didn't, thank god, attack me. I caught sight of Gumi looking at Len with a smirk then back at me with a wink. She left the room. Oh great, probably off to tell her nurse buddies.
"Rin, how are you?" Miku asked, her teal hair shining as always.
"sore" I replied with a shrug. I winced as I felt the needle sharp pain on my shoulder.
"Rin, we have something to tell you!" Lily chirped suddenly, and sat down at the edge of the bed. Neru, and Miku were snickering, in other words, they're all planning something. I looked at Teto, she wasn't looking at me, so she's in this too huh?
"yeeeaahhh?" I asked hesitantly, my eye brow furrowing. I could tell Len thought something was up too.
"Well, you see," Lily began, "after this, you will need help on a lot of things right?"
"where are you getting at this?" I demanded, she chuckled nervously.
"stuff like feeding, note taking, and other stuff right?"
"Y-you wouldn't" she isn't serious, is she?
"since Len has all of his classes with you, plus you are so comfortable with him." Lily smirked at my panicking now. This is so not happening! No! "Len will be your caretaker until you regain full movement in your right arm."
"yeah!" Miku cheered, I glared at her, she shrugged off my vicious gaze.
"b-but what about changing, and home stuff?" I asked
"hmmm…..Len, how much space does your bed take up?"
"LILY!"
"just kidding, jeez" Lily rolled her eyes, but she didn't fail to miss my tomato face. This was not the best situation in the world. "Neru or I'll do that stuff, that is, until you agree to marry Len…"
"Lily!"
"kukuku, Len, we'll leave her to you!" Lily, Neru, Teto, and Miku left, leaving me with completely stunned and confused Len. We remained in silence, I turned back into my pillow. Faintly reminded of that one day when I was sick. I blushed full red, that was not a day to remember freely. Silently cursing Lily and Neru, who were the main culprits, I ignored the tightened feeling on my right shoulder.
"Rin?" oh crap, there goes my peaceful moment of mentally taking pins into Neru and Lily dolls.
"y-yeah?" I stuttered, so much for casual.
"how's your shoulder, you seemed horrible when I left" he mumbled, I remembered something, didn't he kiss my forehead? Only one way to find out…..GAH! I can't believe I'm doing this!
"Len? I-is it true y-you" I swallowed, "k-k-kissed my f-forehead b-before you left?" I hit home. He turned a red color, refusing to meet my eye.
"w-where did you here that?"
"the nurse" I replied, he blushed deeper.
"I-I did" he admitted quietly, I saw him duck his head lower, but his voice was comprehensible

Rrreeeeaaaallllllyyyy awkward silence

Len POV (I'm exhausted, and sleepy, I'm about to sleep)
Embarrassment filled my body, I couldn't look her in the eye, but I knew she had heard me. An awkward silence filled the room, I continued to look down, somewhat examining my shoes. Oh look, the paint is peeling on one side.
"L-Len" Rin's voice drew me back to her, I looked up, trying to cover my blush with my bangs.
"yes?" my voice wavered and shook.
"I-I-I" Rin was hesitating, but her seemed determined, she rubbed her shoulder lighty, she wasn't looking directly at me. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Ilikeyou" she blurted, my mind processed the words. Sllloooowwwllllyyyy, I took apart each mashed letter. My mind went blank for a second, two seconds, eight seconds, one minute. Not another word was spoken between us. I risked a glance at Rin, she wasn't facing me, her face bright red, biting her lip. The door clicked open and the same green-haired nurse came in. A small smile on her face.
"hello, you two" she had a small tray with her, an orange, eggs, toast, and milk.
"G-Gumi!" Rin looked at her with a wary look, "why are you here?"
"It's breakfast time!" Gumi giggled, she set down the tray on the table. Her green eyes dancing with mischief, reminding me of Miku. "I didn't disrupt anything, did I?"
"no" Rin muttered,
"ok, well your boyfriend can feed you, I have something to do"
"what! Gumi!He's not my-"
"have fun~" she left again, I was still too shocked to do anything.
"It's ok Len, I can do it myself" Rin tried assure me, but I doubtful, she hardly used her left hand for anything. I watched as she propped herself up, and reached for the tray, she grabbed it with a wavering arm, it tipped. I reached forwards, and held it upright, my hands surrounded her small fingers. Warmth took both of our cheeks, but I held tightly and helped her put it on her lap.
"you can't do it yourself" I sighed, "here, I'll help you" and I got the spoon. She looked at it with round eyes.
"again?" she squeaked, I nodded, maybe I can tell her this way. I fed her some egg, at first she clamped her mouth shut. I prodded her bottom lip, I kept my blush out of this. She opened her mouth and chewed the bit of egg. I gave her toast, since I couldn't the spoon, I used my hand. She looked at it with owl eyes.
"come on" I urged,
"seriously?" she mumbled, but ate it, a shock traveled up my spine as her lip traced my finger. I felt myself go redder.
"see, that wasn't bad" I managed a smile, she chewed the toast slowly. Looking at me, I heard a click, but I figured it was the hospital bed or something.
"aren't you hungry?" she asked me.
"I already at-" growl well there goes my pride. I hung my head in shame. She giggled quietly, I felt something prod my head. She was holding the piece of toast I fed her. There was a bite mark at the end. I smiled as I ate it until a voice sang in my head. indirect kiss it whispered, I almost choked, chewing carefully I swallowed. I felt myself burn, and I stayed quiet for a bit. I looked at her and she was looking at the orange with eyes that said 'me want'. I grabbed it and began peeling it, I gave her the fruit.
"I love youuu Len!" she squealed, she took it gratefully, leaving me staring dumbly. She didn't notice, and continued eating her orange, savoring the bites. My mouth was dry, I gave her a glazed look. She was finishing the orange, wiping the juice from her chin. She finally noticed me. "what?"
"n-nothing" I muttered and looked down, "I love you too"
