Chapter 17: The Princess in Red

Third Person POV

"R-rin!" Len suddenly says.

"Operation.. 25%.. Alive.. What's going on?"

"Sorry, Rin. Don't worry, I'm fine!" Len makes up an excuse.

"How is it fine when you're in the risk of dying because of organ failure? How, Len?" Rin breaks down. Tears flow from her eyes.

Len hugs Rin, attempting to calm her. "Why Len.. Why do you still protect me even if you have a sickness like that?.. Why.. Why did you have something that will take you away from me.."

"I love you, Rin. Even if I have to sacrifice everything I have now, I'd protect you until my last breath."

Rin silently cried. She was so afraid to lose Len; she loved him so much that she'd go nuts if Len dies.

"Rin, I and Gumi will do everything to save his life again. We will take care of the expenses." Lily assures. Rin calms down after a while.

"Mom, I forgot to say this yesterday but I have something to ask of you."

"What is it, darling?"

"I'd like to have a DNA testing with Rinto Hagane. And him with Lenka Kagene."

"Anything for you, Rin."

After Rin, Len and Lily talked about the DNA tests and other topics, and when Miku came back, they went back home.

Rinto and Lenka went out for a walk before going to the Kagamine house. They went to the park and ate ice cream together on a bench in the side. They were talking until a crying girl caught their attention.

"Waaaaaaah! Nee-chan!" a girl with curly red hair around 10 cried.

Lenka decided to go to the crying girl in front of them. Rinto followed.

"What's wrong?" Lenka kindly asks.

"Mamaaaaaaa!" the girl suddenly hugs Lenka, which was surprised and embarrassed being called Mama.

Rinto bent down to the child's level and handed her an ice cream with a smile. "Stop crying, little princess."

The girl sniffed and stopped crying. "Arigato, Papa!"

Rinto and Lenka blushed. They felt like they were the parents of the girl.

The three sat on the bench they were previously sitting on. The girl finished the ice cream.

"Ah, I'm sorry for calling you Mama and Papa, nee-chan and nii-chan. What are your names?" the girl asks.

"I'm Lenka, and he's Rinto." Lenka introduces.

"Nice to meet you, Lenka-nee, Rinto-nii!", the girl says with a smile.

"By the way, why were you crying a while ago?", Lenka asks.

"Umm... My Nee-chan wasn't coming home often, and I got worried. I love my Nee-chan so much. But Nii-san and my other onee-chan do not want me to go out and look for Nee-chan, so I ran away."

"Aww, running away is bad."

"Please, Lenka-nee, Rinto-nii... Could you hide me first until I find Nee-chan?"

Rinto notices that the girl had long black socks in ribbons; there were hints of scars under the socks. And a small logo was on her red and black Lolita dress. His eyes widen for a bit in realization.

It crippled our lady boss.

"Sure, we can, princess." Rinto says and the girl smiles. "But, could we know your name?"

"Ah, sorry! I'm...

Kasane Teto. Nice to meet you!" she smiles.

Rinto confirmed his suspicions. She was Ted's sister, and Meiko's half-sister. But, who was her Nee-chan? He'd better take her to the Kagamine house.

"So, shall we go?" Rinto says. The pair agreed and they all went to the Kagamine house.

At the Kagamines..

"Yo, Rin, Len." Rinto greets.

Rin and Len's eyes widen when they saw a child with Rinto and Lenka. Rinto and Lenka get confused for a second, but then they knew why the pair were having shocked faces.

"It's a misunderstanding! It's not what you think!" Rinto and Lenka both says.

Because of how ridiculous they were thinking, all of them laughed.

"I'm sorry, we didn't know. Who is she?" Rin asks while wiping tears of laughter.

"Nice to meet you, nee-san, nii-san! I'm Kasane Teto!" she introduces with a smile on her face.

"Wah! So cute! I'm Rin-nee, and he's Len-nii. Nice to meet you Teto-chan." Rin says and smiles. Len pats Teto's head.

"Miku-nee! Can we have a small room ready?" Rin shouts. "Yes, Rin-chan. We'll start to prepare!" Miku responds from the kitchen.

"Hey, I'm sorry about this, Rin. It's just unsafe in the mansion, considering what happened." Rinto says.

"It's fine by me, Rinto. Hey, we have something to discuss today. Shall we talk about it over some snacks?" Rin invites.

"I'll keep Teto-chan company." Len suggests. They all nod and Len ushers Teto to go to him. Teto goes to Len's side and they walk out of the living room to the garden.

The three sat on the couch. Rin starts the conversation.

"Rinto. Lenka-chan. We'll have to do a DNA test for the three of us."
