I sit down. I've been told a lot of shocking things before, but this takes the prize. I feel out of breath as I look at Len, then at Kaito, then at Mayu. "W-what?"

She smiles. "That's why I've been gone. I've been seeing him. I met him at the market place on the first day and we kept in touch. Sorry I kept it from you two,"

I can't look at her right now. I look at Len, and he looks angry. He stands up and asks Mayu to get him out. Kaito looks alarmed at first, but then he nods. He turns to Mayu and gives her a hug and kiss on the forehead, then leaves.

Len doesn't bother sugarcoating anything, and he doesn't wait for me to leave either. He is furious, and it is obvious. Not only is his sister seeing a man he doesn't know, but she kept it secret. But Mayu responds just as emotionally. I figured she'd be calm about it, as usual, but she loses her cool.

Mayu is in tears by the end of it. Len is breathing heavily and he brushes past her to leave. I stand up to follow as she runs into the bathroom.

Len disappears and I search around for what seems forever, panicking. I eventually go back to the room, but Len isn't back. Mayu is sitting on a chair in the kitchen, facing the window. I grab one of the other chairs and face it the same way, but keep my distance because I don't want her to explode on me. "Hi, Mayu," I say quietly.

She grunts in reply. I ask her how she is and she shrugs. But then I make the mistake of asking her where Len is.

She turns on me, then. She turns around to look at me, and looks me in the eye. She makes a dead serious face. "You should know, you two are so close."

I choke and shake my head, giving her a skeptical look. She smiles. "He still hasn't told you?"
I stand up from the chair. I'm scared. She laughs lightly, but returns to a serious face quickly. "He hasn't told you what you did?"

"Well, n-no, but..."

"But?" She's standing now.

"But... he didn't make a big deal out it. It doesn't matter."

"Oh, Rin, but it does matter." She's really scaring me.

"Rin, you alarmed my poor brother. He does not know how to react with girls, let alone drunken girls..."

"W-what?"

"Rin, you told him you loved him and kissed him."
I feel my face get hot as I shake my head. "He would of told me, right?"

"No,"

"But..." I walk out of the room to go look for him again.

I walk around for another half hour before I see Len standing on a small bridge, over a river. He's looking into the water. I call to him as I walk up to him. He looks at me. "Hi, Rin,"

"We need to get out of the open, okay?"
