Yosh! (quoting Misa-chan) Onto this chapter. If you know anything about ASPD, then you'll know what Rin's doing with Mikuo. If not, it's nothing dirty, folks. Enjoy!

Sunlight streamed through the window, waking Len up. He looked over at Rin's bed and was alarmed to find that she wasn't there.

Len rushed into the kitchen. Rin sat at the table, calmly eating a bowl of cereal. When Len rushed in, she stared at him. "Look! Sleeping Beauty woke up."

Len groaned. "Why didn't you tell me you woke up or something? You scared the hell out of me." He looked at the clock. "Crap! It's already that late?" He rushed back to his room to change and brush his hair and teeth.

Rin watched her brother leave. When he was gone, she breathed a sigh of relief. The truth was she had stayed up all night. As soon as she closed her eyes, she was haunted with that event.

Len came back, his clothes a bit wrinkled and his hair still kind of messy. He grabbed two slices of bread. "Let's go."

On the walk to school, Rin tried to forget the events. Gah! I give up. I need to do something to distract myself.

She spotted a teal-haired boy who didn't look half bad.

Hmm… Rin smiled. Back to my old habits.

The teal-haired boy's name was Mikuo Hatsune. He was probably related to Miku, with the same last name and hair color. He's popular and is adored by many girls, but they're afraid to talk to him because they think he's kind of scary. He eats lunch behind the school, away from his friends.

These facts swirled around in Rin's head all day, along with the plan that was rapidly forming in her head. At lunch, she launched into action.

Rin waited for Mikuo to go behind the school to eat his lunch, then she stood with her back against the school, dangling her hand just in Mikuo's line of sight.

Due to her mental illness, Rin didn't experience many emotions first-hand, so she observed other people. For example, she had observed many girls confess their love to guys before. It was actually quite simple, because Len was also pretty popular with girls.

I can pull this off, Rin thought. She took a deep breath.

"Come out. I can see your hand." Mikuo called out.

So I have to act embarrassed now. Rin made herself blush and stepped out from behind the building, looking at her feet.

"He-hello, Mi-Mikuo." Now, look up. "Ca-can I eat lun-ch with you?"

Mikuo shrugged. "Fine by me." He moved over on the bench. Rin sat down hesitantly. For a few minutes, they ate in silence.

Rin looked over a Mikuo. He was chewing on a leek. "S-so, you like leeks?" she asked.

Mikuo looked over at her. "Huh? Oh, yeah, I guess."

Good, he doesn't suspect anything. "I like—like…I like leeks too!" she burst out. In her head, Rin was laughing. I like leeks? Pfft.

"Oh, you do? Would you like one?" Mikuo asked.

Rin started shaking her head, then stopped. If I really liked him, I'd accept it. "Um, sure."

She held the leek in her hand. How do you even eat this thing?

"So, did you come to talk about something?"

Rin started. This is going a lot faster than I thought. "Ye-yeah." She flushed bright red. "I wanted to tell you…" Rin cleared her throat. "That is, I've always li—" Wait a bit…Now!

"I've always liked you, Mikou Hatsune!"she yelled, then clapped her hand over her mouth. Perfect.

Mikuo looked startled. "Oh…kay, then, I uh…" He blushed. "What am I supposed to say?"

Idiot. "Can you go out with me?" Rin asked.

"Um, sure, but I'm not that great of a guy." Mikuo answered.

Rin beamed and skipped away. When Mikuo was out of earshot, she sagged against the wall. That should keep me busy for awhile.

Mikuo watched Rin skip away. A grin broke out across his face. Not bad acting, Rin Kagamine, not bad at all.

"But, I don't think I did half bad, either," Mikuo said out loud. Smiling, he shook his head. "Ah, this'll be so much fun. Two people who aren't serious, dating."

He jumped off the bench. "This'll keep me entertained for awhile."

"Rin, come on, we'll be late to work." Len complained.

"Wait, I'm waiting for someone."

Len's eyes widened. "Rin, not again. It's not nice. If you want a boyfriend, then find someone that you'll actually stick with, not some random guy." Rin just grinned. Len sighed. "Who is it this time?"

Rin played with her fingers. "Mikuo Hatsune." She looked up at Len. "He's not ugly either. In fact, he's better looking than you," she laughed, tapping Len on the nose.

"Mikuo! Mikuo's my friend, you know!"

Rin's eyes lit up. "Really? Then let's drag him to work with us." Her eyes snapped to door. "Here he comes."

"Hey." Mikuo said, saluting to Len.

Len opened his mouth, but closed it seconds after. He didn't want to get in the way of Rin's game, neither did he want to hurt his friend's feelings. Instead, he said, "Hey. Can you come with me to work today? Rin insists on it."

Len turned to say something to Rin, but she was already walking in the direction of Haku and Dell's building.

Len started to run after her, but Mikuo caught his arm. "Wait. Can I talk to you for a bit?"

Len turned to look at Mikuo. "What?"

"It's about Rin." Mikuo winked. "I think you know this already, I'm a really observant person. And through observing, I've figured out your situation. I know about Rin's mental illness, and what she's doing. Let her play for a bit, alright?"

Len was surprised that Mikuo knew so much, but he agreed. "Okay, but, if she starts going too far, stop her."

Mikuo laughed. "Sure. Race ya?" And he took off.

Len stood there, not entirely sure what had just happened. Then his thoughts caught up and a question appeared in his head. How does Mikuo know where the Detective Agency is? That stalker.

Haku heard a knock on the door. It's probably Rin and Len. When she opened the door, she saw Rin followed by Len and another boy, both panting heavily.

"Well, well. What have we here?" Haku smiled at the boy. "Hi! I'm Haku Yowane. And you are?"

"Mikuo Hatsune." He grabbed Rin's hand. "I'm dating Rin right now." Rin blushed. Idiot, why'd he tell Haku?

"Oh?" Haku raised an eyebrow at Rin. Then her expression became serious. "Come inside. We have a case."

Rin, Len and Mikuo sat down in Haku and Dell's office.

"Just a few minutes ago, Chief Police Officer Meiko called and said that Officer Kaito was dead. Cause of death was poison, and they think it was suicide. He was found laying face down on his desk, a bottle of medicine and a pile of books next to him. Meiko reported that he called her three hours ago, saying goodbye. She thought he was just goofing off, so she didn't investigate. Then she walked in, and found him in that state."

Mikuo whistled. "Wow, wonder why he did that."

"Get in the van; we're heading to the police station."

Meiko led them to Kaito's office. The detectives surveyed the scene. Like Meiko described, there was a bottle of medicine and a pile of books next to Kaito. In front of him was a book that was open.

"Did you take his pulse?"Dell asked.

"Yep. There was none."

Haku walked up to Kaito, followed by Dell, Rin and Len. Mikuo kept his distance.

After circling the dead officer for a few minutes, all four came to the same conclusion.

"He's not dead."

"What? But his pulse is gone."

Haku walked up to Meiko. "Number one: When someone is poisoned, their fingernails turn light blue." She pointed at Kaito's fingers. "They're not light blue."

"Number two: You said this was three hours ago? In three hours, a corpse should start to smell." Dell pointed out. They all agreed it didn't smell like a rotting corpse.

Len stepped up. "Number three: See this red band her?" Len pointed at a portion of flesh on Kaito's wrist that was a bit red. "Again, three hours ago. That's a long time. I bet Kaito got bored and was reading this book. He propped his head on his hand. From experience, I know that doing that will leave a mark that will fade within a few minutes. Yet, this is still here, so that means he had been reading not a few minutes ago."

"So, what about the pulse?" Meiko challenged.

Rin walked up to Kaito's body. "There is a trick you can use to stop your pulse." She reached into Kaito's armpits and pulled out two rubber balls. "If you stick a rubber ball underneath your armpit, then your pulse in your arm will stop. You probably checked his pulse using his wrist. Therefore, you wouldn't have felt a pulse."

Kaito raised his head. "Yeah, they're right. I'm not dead."

Meiko glared at Kaito. "Then why'd you fake your death?"

Kaito grinned at Meiko. "Because I wanted to see if Chief would cry if I died." Meiko hit Kaito on the head.

"Shut up, idiot! Why would I care about you?" she yelled. Meiko stomped out of the room, but everyone saw her smiling as she left.

"Well, that was interesting." Mikuo commented. "You two would make great detectives."

A/N: So, fellow Spiral readers, I took that rubber ball thing from Spiral. Also, the name of the chapter I sort of took from Kiyoteru, Ayumu and Kyrie, from Spiral.

This chapter was a bit long, but I wanted to fit Mikuo and Kaito into it. What was Rin doing? A common trait among antisocial is the ability to manipulate people easily. Of course, here Rin kind of failed because Mikuo was acting too, but whatever.

Thanks for reading!
