Harro (Hello) everyone! I have super awesome news: I GOT A BETA! (yay!) So, I will probably have so many terrible grammar mistakes (I'm sorry that I am way too lazy to actually read over and edit my chapters). So… YAY! Everyone welcome "I am the HERO AMERICA!" And make sure to check out her fics!
Oh, yeah! If you noticed that I said that I liked the couple "TedxTed" in the last chapter, good job! (cause I didn't realize that myself). I meant to say "TedxTeto." (cause TedxTed would be… weird)
Disclaimer: Hmm… if Vocaloid was mine… well, let's just say that it wouldn't be good for certain male Vocaloids (think of me like Len's mother, and what she would do to him….) But I not. So Len is safe. For now. (*laughs evilly*)
*Len's P.O.V*
Its official: my brain has been fried, and I am turning into a puddle of stress and freaked-outness (and, yes, that is a word. I just invented it).
My thoughts about Rin's family?
They are absolutely crazy.
I am now actually considering to start respecting Rin some for getting out of that madhouse semi-sane. Let's just leave it at this: they are like my mother in all of her crazy glory, except multiply that by three for each person in her family.
Yeah. It was that bad.
It's as if everyone's goal in life is to torture poor Lenny (aka me)! First we have Rin, who attacks me every four seconds, than my mother, who has a son complex, then Rin's family, who enjoy pulling pranks on me. For example, I found about 40 paper cups filled with water on my bed, stapled together, and then heard Rin's father laugh like a maniac while running away. It took me over two hours to try and figure out how to get them all up and off of my bed. Or, like how they somehow moved me so that I was sleeping in the bathtub without me waking up for an hour or two. Did I mention that the bath tub was filled with some unidentified substance? And it smelled terrible.
Of course Rin kept on beginning attacked, or attacking herself, even sometimes enlisting my help. It was like a never ending war of playful (yet sometimes dangerous or smelly) pranks. And I was becoming paranoid as well: if I heard a rustle of paper, or perhaps a floorboard creak, then I would immediately turn around with my hands up in this super awesome Lenja (yes, Lenja is a word. I just invented that as well. It's a mix between "Len" and "ninja" and means a pure, awesome ninja. Only one person in this world is a Lenja, and that's me) pose, only to find that no one was there.
Anyways, today was the last day of me hanging out with Rin's family, and I wasn't sure if I was relived or happy. Probably a little bit of both.
Rinto and Gumiya (they told me to call them by their first names) were loading the car while I tried to reassure Gumi that I wouldn't do anything to Rin. "Mom, I'm sure that we will be fine," Rin said, but I could tell that she really wanted to laugh.
"NO! My poor little girl…. Whhhy, Rin? Why are you leaving your mommy? Mommy loves you so much?" Her mother complained like a little child.
"I won't do anything, I promise! I swear," I said frantically while waving my hands back and forth.
"I don't trust you, Kagamine," Gumi said with a growl.
"After we have been together for a week? I am deeply offended," I said in a joking voice, but immediately regretted what I said, fearing for my life.
"Oh, I was talking about Rin, not you, Len! I trust you fully!" Rin made an offended face and I laughed awkwardly.
"RIN, GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE AND HELP US ALREADY," I heard Rinto scream out loud, and Rin ran over.
"Len," I heard Gumi say softly in probably the most serious voice I heard her speak in so far. I nodded my head. "I'm sorry about my family being so…strange."
"No! I'm happy that—" She cut me off by holding her hand up.
"Let me finish. Thank you for being such a good sport, despite what we have done for you. Now, I'm going to ask you a favor: please look after Rin for us. She means best, and her intentions are good, but she tends to say stupid things in bad situations, and sometimes she doesn't realize what she really wants. She's… different, so to speak. And, make sure she takes her medication every day?"
"Medication?" I asked in alarm.
"Erm, it's just a few pills, not too bad. Nothing life threatening, but it can be if she doesn't take them over a period of time," I nodded my head even though I wasn't fully reassured. "Promise to take care of her?"
"Promise."
*Time Skip: The End of the Drive Up the Mountain*
"Well, here we are," SeeU said while Rin and I gaped at the gigantic, 5 story villa right in front of us.
"Didn't Kiyoteru say that this was one of his medium sized villas?" I asked in disbelief.
"It is! Anyways, the top floor is used for parties and such, the fourth for Kiyo's work. So, those two floors are off limits, although you can go up there every once in a while. Just not every day. The third has the bedrooms and some bathrooms. Certain bedrooms are completely off limits, and I will show you which ones. The first floor, consisting of the kitchen, living room, and some others, as well as the second, consisting of an office usable for the two of you and a media, game, and other entertainment rooms are fully available to you. The backyard can be used to your full advantage, including the swimming pool, tennis courts, and mini-golf course. You can also just hang around outside—the weather is beautiful, and it's quite nice," SeeU said without drawing for breath once. She must have amazing lungs.
"There is a mini-golf course?"
"Yup. Also, every week or so I will visit. You only have one neighboring villa, about two miles to the west. There live a group of four friends, who Kiyo asked to check in with you from time to time. You know, to make sure that the two of you don't kill each other."
"That's probably going to happen very soon," Rin mumbled, and SeeU let out a laugh.
"Well, I will show you around some, I guess," SeeU said while unlocking the door and leading us inside.
The inside was awesome: there was a small foyer that soon extended into a big green, black, and white living room. A giant T.V was in that room, as well as a large fish tank and a fireplace. The kitchen was just as magnificent. A grand piano sat to the side of the room. The entire space was open, and had giant windows showcases beautiful views of the mountains outside.
"You know, I think that I could handle living with Rin for two months if I get to stay here," I said to SeeU. She laughed, and continued on giving us an official tour of the house.
"Hmm… I'll leave you to explore the second floor by yourselves," SeeU said while leading us upstairs. The third floor somehow seemed rather creepy to me—there was a long hall of doors with all of them being shut. "You can't choose from the three rooms at the end of the hall. The rest of them are available for your use. I suggest you pick your rooms right now." I raced down the hall, throwing doors open, trying to figure out which one fit me best.
"This one is mine," Rin called out, and I wandered back to where she was. Inside of her selected room was just a queen bed, rug, and desk, all white. A beautiful sakura tree was painted on all three walls (the fourth being a mostly a giant window), and extended onto the floor, bed sheets, and rug.
"Good choice, Rin. I always thought of this room as one of my favorite," SeeU said, as Rin smiled modestly. I eventually choose the room across from Rin's, and then we brought all of our suitcases and crap inside. "Well, this is where I say goodbye," SeeU said.
"Why don't you stay overnight? Or at least eat something," Rin asked.
"I have a load of work to be doing, so I don't have time to spare," SeeU said with an apologetic smile. "Maybe next time. Oh and here are you keys," she said and then handed them to me. Two plain keys were in the palm of my hand, both having a string attached them. "You can wear them around your neck," SeeU explained. "Then you have less of chance losing them." I nodded my head, pulled it around my head, and then tucked into my shirt. "Well, I'll be taking my leave now. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, SeeU! Thanks for everything," Rin said.
"Goodbye! See you SeeU"—see what I did there?—"Next week!" SeeU pulled out of the drive way and drove off after saying her goodbye.
"So," Rin said awkwardly.
"I still don't like you."
"Rude, aren't we?"
"Meh." Rin stormed inside and then slammed the door behind her (which I don't understand what the point of that was). I followed her inside, and saw her staring at the piano. "You play?" I asked Rin, and she nodded her head. "Play something for me?" I offered.
"I'm hungry, so maybe later," Rin said and then walked into the kitchen. The cupboards and fridge were already stocked with food.
"So what are you making for us?" I asked in an innocent tone.
"What do you mean for 'us.' I cook for myself, my family, Luka, and everyone else on this world except for you," Rin said in a flat voice.
"But, Rin… I can't cook," I said softly.
"Well, that's quite a problem. For you. Starve for all I care."
"Don't be like that," I begged. I could not live off of instant ramen and cereal—the only things I can cook—for the next two months!
"Last time I remember, you still don't like me. By the way, the feelings are returned," Rin said while she began chopping up something.
"No! I didn't mean that! I love you, Rin," I said while dramatically grabbing her hand. Her response was her shoving me off, and continuing to cook. "Anyways, only girls can cook."
"What was that?" Rin asked as she put some veggies into a pot. A delicious aroma filled the kitchen, and I began drooling.
"Well, it's a fact of life. Boys are the fighters, and the heroes, girls the damsel in distress, and do all of the cooking and cleaning," I said with a casual air of nonchalance. Suddenly a knife was pointed at my throat.
"You say that again and you will see how well girls can fight you sexist pig," Rin hissed and I stepped back in alarm.
"I-I didn't say that, R-Rinny!"
"I didn't think so," she said, and then used the very same knife to chop up some chicken. Eventually she had her meal made—some delicious looking pasta—and was sitting at the table. I joined her.
"J-Just a bite, Rin," I said like the poor beggar I wasn't
"Nope," and then began shoving food into her mouth. I let out a small whimper. She finished quickly, me watching the entire time, and then she began cleaning up.
"Rin… please?" I asked in a soft voice, but she ignored me and flipped the TV on. "Fine, you flat-chest brat," I said, finally getting angry, and then I stormed upstairs.
*Time Skip: Around 3 in the morning*
Rin's P.O.V
I let out a yawn and then finally went upstairs after finally forcing myself to get up and stop watching the anime "Pandora Hearts" (which I fell completely in love with). I know that I shouldn't have watched anime so late into the night, but once I start to watch a good anime, I can't stop myself (A/N: Same, Rin!).
When I finally reached the third floor (so much work: three flights of stairs!) I noticed that Len's room light was still on, meaning that he was still awake. I felt bad because that meant that he hadn't eaten anything except for the breakfast. I sighed, went back downstairs, and quickly prepared some Oyakodon Chicken with an Egg Bowl, making the serving for two people.
After preparing a tray to carry everything upstairs, I went and knocked on Len's door (or at least attempted to knock with my hands completely full). "What do you want?" Len asked rudely.
"I'm feeding you, so don't be rude to me," I shot back.
"Yes, Master Rin," Len said feebly as I sat down on his bed and began spreading everything out. I looked at his laptop and noticed that he had been playing Minecraft, a game which I love. Len moved his laptop to the side, and then eagerly looked at me as I passed him a plate. He then began shoving food into his mouth like there was no tomorrow. "This is delicious!" He said in surprise.
"What were you expecting?" I said as I began eating in more of a calm mannar. "Now, I will cook both lunch and dinner—" Len let out a cheer before eating some more "—if you make breakfast. And, no, we cannot have cereal every day. I want breakfasts like pancakes, or crepes, or something."
"I can't cook!" He protested.
"I will teach you, but only for a week. After that, you must make sure to wake up before me and begin cooking. After that come and wake me up," I said in the same stern voice.
"But—"
"Do you want to eat?" Len looked at me, than at his food, and then at me again. "Fine. You got yourself a deal."
"You forget one day, you won't eat my cooking for that day. Unless I deem so otherwise." Len nodded his head, and we continued eating in silence.
"You know, usually a girl wouldn't be so calm to enter a boy's room like that, let alone live with them," Len said after a few minutes.
"It's not like we are doing anything," I replied.
"True. As if I would want to do something like that with you. You have such a flat chest and—"
"You make one more joke or remark about my chest, and you will not eat my cooking ever again."
"Yes ma'am."
Yeah, I know it's a lame chapter. Sue me.
