CHAPTER 15
Neru felt a lump in her throat but was afraid to swallow. Her brain felt hot, but frozen solid. It took a moment for her brain to click.
Len was going to kiss her.
"AAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Neru's head turned toward the scream, and it was only then that she noticed Len's hand on her cheek.
It was Rin.
And she looked pissed.
Her blonde hair was tussled, rumpled, and in disarray. She had dark, almost purple circles around her eyes. Her clothes were wrinkled, and her tie that matched Len's was undone.
And she was spattered with blood. From the cuts on her, it was obviously her blood.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rin shrieked it a high voice. "What is this Len?" she cried out, tears, and blood, flowing. She was rooted to the spot.
Neru suddenly went cold.
"LEN!" Rin screamed, "LEN?" Her eyes were large, wide, crazed. "Please tell me this isn't…." She shrieked again, her voice choked off at the end. "Len don't." she whispered in a plea. "Please, Len."
Neru could see her shivering.
Rin could feel her hand shaking, both of them in fact. She knew she wouldn't be able to stop it, so she didn't try. She didn't want to stop it. She wanted Len to see what he was doing to her.
What he was making her do.
Neru wanted to blink, to turn away, anything so she wouldn't have to see this. Neru took in a deep ragged breath. She could feel Len pulse through his hand on her cheek. His warm hand on her cold cheek. Neru felt the need to shiver, but forced herself not to.
She could feel the hair on the back of her neck stand up.
She saw Rin's face turn pale.
"P-please," Rin cried out. "Don't!" she clutched her shaking hands into fists.
Her nails dug into her skin causing more blood to flow.
"Please don't Len," she sobbed quietly.
Neru felt her heart stop again.
Something was coming.
"Please Len," Rin looked down and closed her eyes, and whispered, "I love you."
