I just transferred school, lots of unfinished homework, and finally my laptop broke (currently using my sis's). My motivation keeps dwindling every second. I wanted to write though so I'll work hard! T.T

And also, I just thought of the ending, now I'll just have to sort out the plot. The story probably consist about 15 chapters, I think. I don't intend to drop it though.

Oh yeah I did say it'll be Len's POV for this chapter but I scrapped that idea off just to get some mystery. Anyway, enjoy :3


Chapter 3: Thus he fell

Rin's POV

Today must be the longest school day I ever experience, and it's all thanks to Len. Someone please give him a round of applause! To those who actually gave him, I'll be knocking your front door while riding a road roller.

"Miku," I started, "want to hang out?"

"NO!" I heard Len whine behind me. I ignored him and waited for answers.

"Duty calls, maybe some other time?" She avoided my question and as usual ran home with a merrily face. Len was practically dancing in delight.

After the leek accident, Len had an uneasy feeling when he's around Miku. Let's just say she gave him a portion of her lunch in recess. I planned that if Miku hangs out with me for today, Len wouldn't bother to stalk us… well me. Should have brought the shotgun when I see one…

I got called by the teachers for bringing a pet to school. Not that I mind since I always got called all the time for not doing homework and such. Though bringing something forbidden was new. Considering that was my first time, I manage to escape unpunished. But there wouldn't be next time so I'll have to teach Len to stay put.

Wait, why am I wasting my time making a manual out of him?

"This is why I hate animals…" I thought out loud. Len, who was walking behind me, smirked.

"Doesn't seem like it when you first met me," he chuckled. I turned myself around facing him and glared, enough to pierce something.

"Can you turn yourself back into a cat?" I asked, hiding the tone of pleads in my voice. I don't care if he could talk into his cat mode, though that would have been very creepy, I just want him to hide that irritating face of his.

Len burst from chuckle to laughter.

There's no cops around me right? I can kick him to shape right? We walked quite far from the school so no one's in sight.

"Sure I can," he answered. I felt as if my worries had been lifted. "But I don't wanna~"

Screw cops…

Thus I kicked him directly on the stomach hoping he would fly out of sight. Unfortunately he only covered ten meters but at least he fainted. Never cared for what I did, I continued walking.

School sucks really bad even if you put Len into the picture, it just turned more discomforting. And it's just the first day!

Should I call the pound?

No that was a joke… There would be a hole on my allowance if I tried to do that.

Len turning into a human might be called a supernatural occurrence. Maybe Miku knows something since she's the daughter of a priest.

In this town, there's a shrine located on top of a hill. The one who running the business there are the Hatsune family. Being the only daughter, Miku was expected to inherit the family's tradition. Though she objected their expectation or so I've heard. Not that I care anyway.

I hurriedly ran towards the highest ground level in town. Len doesn't seem to follow me due to his inability so I took the advantage and ran as fast as I could. Knowing him and that nose of his, finding me shouldn't be a problem. Oh wait, that only applies to dogs.

I halted as the hill was before me. I looked up and saw endless stone slabs. Miku's house was located on the summit, and that's one reason why I rarely visit her. I mean who would want to walk 50 meters above ground just to visit a person's house? Not me, thank you very much. If only I have my own road roller, by then I could help the ministry to flatten the land.

I turned my head from left to right hoping a certain someone wasn't stalking me. I then face the stairs with a tired face.

This is to get Len disappear from my life. Not just an unreasonable waste of energy.

With that kind of thought, I braced myself and took a step.

AROUND 10 HOURS LATER

Heh.

I'm awesome.

I might want brag this to the world's biggest records.

I, Kagamine Rin, am now dying from out of breath.

What? You can't die from that cause? Bummer…

I sat there, watching the brightly orange sky as I rested to make my breathing irregularities normal. I'm not that athletic, though I could play sports like a pro. I just don't have enough stamina to do that. Most of the time I would laze around the house watching TVs or reading books— ehem— mangas. Not a suitable daily routine for a youth as my dad always stated. So what? As long as you have fun there's nothing wrong with it. Right?

Noticing the sky was getting dark; I continued my poor excuse of a journey.

"Hey, Rin wait up!" I heard a familiar voice shouting for me from downhill. By that color of his hair and that annoying face of his, it was Len sure enough.

"I thought you were dead," I gave him a look.

"Don't go killing off people. Besides it would need more than that to get rid of a cat!" He proudly exclaimed. First he says people and now cats. Len may need to look himself in a better mirror.

"What? Like kick you from this mountain?" I asked.

"…"

"…"

"You know I would die if that'll happen right?"

"What to experiment it? I heard cats land on their feet if they're lucky."

"I'll just… watch you from behind…" his figure shrank and followed me for no more than three meters. Looks like his animal instinct gave him the right advice. Just to let you know, I'm willing to throw him from a suspension bridge into a bottomless ravine.

Nope, that wasn't a joke.

We walked and finally found the summit. Len was surprisingly quiet. He didn't do any weird motions and kept his mouth shut.

"Hehe… I can't eat anymore…" I heard a voice from uphill.

Now what's with that sentence that always comes out when one is asleep?

I peered closer to my front, revealing a teal headed male sleeping with liquid at the corner of his mouth. The guy was sleeping, on the final stone slab with a happy look on his face.

Surprised; yes. Weird; no.

Maybe the guy was tired as I am and decided to call it quits. I took a step closer to that lucky person. What? I wanted to rest there first and this stranger beat me to it!

Wonder if he's Miku cousin or something since his resemblance with Miku was above average, leaving out he's a guy and Miku's the opposite.

I heard a snap behind me. It belonged to Len who had his vein popped on his forehead. The always cheery yet annoying Len was actually angry.

"You know that guy?" I asked as I threw him a confused face.

"I don't see anyone there."

He erased the stranger's existence.

No doubt he knew him alright.

"Hmm…" That's all I replied and ran towards Miku's house to rest. "Miku~ you're there?" I shouted as I knocked her house.

"Rin?" A voice was heard on the other side of the closed door. "Just give me a minute or two…"

I sighed and sat down on the floor to catch my breath, waiting for the door to open.

Len walked in circles as he still wears that angered face of his. Finally he stopped and placed both of his hands in his pockets. Another snap of veins could be heard. "Tch," he mouthed.

Scary…

Wait, no, I'm not scared of him! This may be my first time seeing a boy angry beside my father so give me a break!

Still, who's that teal guy anyway? Whoever he is, he's sure an expert for making Len like he's going to explode.

Len got closer to the guy, lifting his right foot. "What the heck is he doing?" I narrowed my eyes.

With another set of movement, Len kicked the poor stranger from his place down the 50 meters hill.

LOL, wait, WHAT?

"WHATTHE!" The guy finally regain his conscious as he rolled downhill, making a few merciless sound by his head and the stone. "GGGGAAAAAAAHHHHH."

I stood there with my mouth opened wide.

H-he kicked him!

A cat kicked a human!

I should have video camera it! Who knows how many views my channel can get! Wasted…

"L-Len…" I called out to him.

"Yeah?" Len turned around and smiled. Demon!

"You're… okay?" I asked again, blinking a few times. He's smiling. It's as if he didn't have a change of emotion earlier. Demon!

"Are you worried?" He cheerfully asked with glittering eyes. The demon's smiling!

Before I could reply his ridiculous question, the shrine door opened revealing a teal haired female. "Sorry for the wait— what just happened?"
