Chapter 3 my wonderful people~!
I haven't slept a wink.
The least Uncle Luki could've done was send them in my dreams. I need my beauty sleep! I check the clock next to my bed and see it's 2:00 A.M.. I looked around for any signs of the ghost and saw nor heard anything. Maybe Oliver was just a dream…
Satisfied, I snuggled against my pillow, pulled my sheets a little higher, and went right to sleep. Of course, the force of someone pushing me off of the bed made me get up.
"Get up sleepy-head~! Time to go~~" I looked up to see a girl with green hair and a red Santa girl's outfit.
As I stood up, she introduced herself, "Name's Megumi Megpoid. But you can call me Gumi, kay? I'm the Ghost of Christmas Present, and I believe Luki sent me here to teach you a lesson. Naughty boy!"
Once I got up, she took my left arm and headed for… the window?!
"S-Stop! I'll f-fall!" She quickly let go and started thinking.
"Here, take my hand." She stretched her hand out, which I took. She leaped out the window with me, and we flew across the sky.
As the wind blew to my face, I asked, "Where are we going, exactly?"
She giggled and said, "We're going to the time after you said, and I quote, 'And if any of you even bother to come back on the 26, you'll be fired. So I guess I'll see you here tomorrow?'"
We made it towards the studio and entered through the walls. I saw the scene as I walked off, leaving everyone furious.
Rei was the first to speak, "Why that little brat! I tell you, if he wasn't the leader of the band, I'll-" He started punching a plushy of myself. The plushy was torn with stuffing coming out of it. I'm officially scared of him now…
"Rei, calm down!" She tried to pry him off of the plushy. Way to go, Rin!
When that was over with, Mikuo entered. Mikuo wasn't here today, now was he? I'll scold him later…
"Gomenasai, but I had to make last minute Christmas plans with Miku. Did you guys ask? What did he say?"
"He said we couldn't have the day off. And if we come late, he'll kick us out of the band."
"WHAT?! I can't cancel my plans! That little brat! Why if he-" He was interrupted by the sound of Rin coughing. In fact, she coughed way to much for a normal person…
The guys all walked towards her to see if she was fine. She just shook her head and said, "Guys, I'm fine, really! So what if I've been sick for the past couple weeks? I'll get better!"
"But Rin," Gakupo said, "you've been coughing like this for too long! And you're still working for that little brat?!"
"Gakupo, Len wasn't always like this. He was actually really sweet and kind during our childhood. I even thought I liked him as more than a friend…" That actually made me blush a bit…
"I don't believe you. There's no way that jerk could have possibly been good." These guys are all so mean behind my back!
"He was..." She glanced at the clock and started packing up. "I need to go to the penthouse to serve him. Merry Christmas to you all!" She left.
Everyone seemed worried. Kaito spoke, "I hope she gets better soon. And I also hope Len doesn't overwork her…" They gathered their belongings and left.
I glanced back at Gumi, and asked, "How long has Rin been ill?"
She sadly looked back at me and said, "About a month now. Come, we must follow Rin..."
She took my hand and we flew to another place. It was a train station, and Rin seemed to be hugging some boy. He looks awfully familiar, though...
Rin let the boy go and said, "I really am sorry for sending you back, but Len will be having me work tomorrow..."
The boy seemed furious and said, "I don't get why Len's doing this to you, Rin. Us. The whole family. We haven't seen you for years, and he keeps you all to himself? After all we've done for him..."
Rin sighs and says, "I have to protect him, Rinto," I knew he was familiar! "but I promised to protect him and always be there when he needs me..." She started coughing uncontrollably, and then she suddenly fell. I was about to run up to her, but Gumi kept her hand on my shoulder.
"Don't. You're only here to watch, Len." She released me and I just stood there.
Rinto picked her up and started looking for something...
"Come, Len. We're going somewhere else," Gumi took my hand and we flew towards Rin's house. I've never been to her house before...
I saw Rinto carrying her towards the house and opening the door. He stepped inside and put her down on the couch.
"Oh, Rin," he started, "you're way too nice for your own good." He watched her for a little before falling asleep himself.
After that, Gumi grabbed my hand again and we were back home. I looked at her with eyes full of worry.
"Gumi, will Rin be fine? Will she get better?" She looked at me sadly, and said, "The next spirit should tell you that. Sayonara. My job is done..."
She disappeared in neon green sparkles, leaving me in my room alone.
Like? Well, I hope you did! Review~!
