Yay for once a fast update! *shot*
Okay, after thinking a lot of stuff... I decided the story will end around 26 chapters.
If you squint you could find 5 songs reference here... and none of those songs belongs to me... yes I feel like crying ;_;

Chapter 18: Dead End

Len POV

Ah~ such a fine morning~ Birds chirping as it glades along the summer breeze, sunlight shining across the open field, children playing soccer in a very youthful manner.

Oh yeah I'm in the park right now… alone… walking directionless just to comfort myself. It has been three days since the game began and I haven't done anything at all. Yeah, that is bad… I mean really bad…

Rin always avoids me now and this time the reason was reasonable. I miss when she comes to my house for comfort because of the disappearing oranges she ate.

And now because of one action she's avoiding me…

Okay I have to admit that was an embarrassing thing to do. But what choice do I have? If I was to say that without further planning Rin would run away or lock herself in one of my many rooms. Seriously why did father have to make that small house to have so many rooms and still had a big interior?

Anyway, what's done is done. By the end of the summer I'll have to make Rin mine or there'll be no second chance.

Right… plan number one…

Pff like I had one in the first place… I even surprised myself when I pushed Rin on the floor. Not all humans are perfect in those kinds of stuff. Such further thinking is not in my league. I'd have to go back in square one if I want to make this perfect.

But I manage to tell her how I feel. This should increase her awareness. And by that, there's a higher chance of me winning.

Alright, I'm gonna win this! I, Kagamine Len, will secure my second victory. Trust me, when it comes to me and Rin playing games, she always took the last laugh. And now I'm in my second most important game. Losing is not an option.

Well… I may say all that but I'm at loss now…

"Hey occhan!" A very familiar voice was heard while I was being emo for my current temporally lost. "You have a leek to go with the crepe?"

Leek? If that's the case then that person could be between Mikuo and Miku. "Sorry ojou-chan," the crepe shop keeper replied in a very confused manner. "No leek being sold here." Ojou-chan? So the unknown familiar guy is Miku.

"Well… cheer up Miku!" another voice was heard and yes this one was familiar too. "Do you have carrots to go with mine?"

"Umm… no carrots either."

Before another sentence was heard, a pause was between them. "Tch I wish your business will meet bankruptcy—"

"HOLD ON THERE!" I quickly appeared into the picture as soon as I recognize the voice owner before Miku could finish her sentence.

"Whoa Len what are you doing here?" Gumi's eyes widen and so was Miku. It looks like it's just the both of them. Truth to be told I was hoping on seeing Rin.

"Nothing," I replied. And I really mean it. I did nothing but moping to myself. Oh yeah and thinking of a plan for mission making Rin mine. Yeah, I'm gonna call that for now. "Anyway you shouldn't make a scene here. The old man's kinda worried you know…" I whispered only for the three of us could hear. Gumi nodded but Miku just pouted.

Just like that we left the scene and went into some deserted playground.

"Um…" I began feeling a bit flustered. "Does Rin said anything about be for the past three days?" Okay I wanted to slap myself. Why did I ask that even?

"Nope, nothing worth mentioning," Gumi said looking puzzled.

"What does that suppose to mean?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Nothing," she replied still wearing the same face. "It's just that nothing is interesting now. I miss school already…" Well I want school to never exist right now. Why you ask? No I'm not lazy. It's just that when school reopens it meant the end of summer and you know what will happen at that time…

"I see…" I only sighed.

"Did something happen between you two?" It was Miku's turn to ask question. Why does she always have to ask a straight forward question anyway?

"N-Nope, nothing in particular…" I accidentally stuttered. A mistake there! I made a mistake there!

Gumi saw my mistake and started bargaining. "Tell me the truth or I'll throw this 'Len no bousou' picture with you wearing it around the school. Just like when I throw newspapers when there's an extra going on."

Are you trying to make hell break loose? "F-F-Fine!" I answered after a length of pause. Someone need to separate her from the camera cause your life may depends on it.

After ten hours of explanations, some fangirl squeals were heard which make the cute innocent children running to their mothers. Seriously can't they be more embarrassing than this?

"A-a-a-a-and then what?" Miku asked with swirling eyes.

"Please tell us dammit!" Gumi too but a camera was seen on her hands.

"I told you, that's it!" I half screamed, not wanting to scare another batch of children. Of course I didn't tell them about when I pushed Rin on the floor. Please… spare me…

The both of them calmed down a little but their thoughts were full of calculations. Don't ask me what kind of thoughts cause yeah I don't know.

"So to put it simply you'll just need to make Rin into you?" Miku reconfirmed calmly.

"That was the game…" I nervously answered. I never been this honest with anyone other than Rin so yeah, the nervousness won't stop.

"If that's the case; why don't we help you?" Gumi purposed with a mischievous grin plastered on her face. "Besides we're kinda free here…"

I haven't thought of them helping me. I mean, I made this game for me and Rin only but for an outsider to interfere… is this truly the best thing to do? But I guess the success rate is higher but I want to play it fair. "Um… sorry but I wanted this game for me and Rin only so…"

"Do you have a plan?" Gumi asked which had quite an impact; I kind of felt knives piercing me there.

"Um… no…" okay I couldn't lie cause my face shows it even without saying anything.

"Then that's that, we're helping you."

"You will?"

"Yes, you heard the answer more than three."

"Oh yeah… sorry…"

Oh well… I'll just go with the flow…

.:{-=X=-}:.

Okay… when I said I'll just go with the flow I didn't mean walking into a stalker only room…

"Hey, it's the RinxLen After School Fanclub!" Miku somehow corrected me. "Don't downgrade our status like that!"

"Shut up stalkers!" I shouted at her corrections. "We're at school right? Is this stuff even allowed here?" By stuff I meant there were countless posters with Rin and me inside the picture on every wall, video tapes of me and Rin as follows on specific days, picture collections of me and Rin right when we were small to this day, homemade figurines of me and Rin on each desk which seems awesomely real, Rin and me carpet, Rin and me table cloth, Rin and me calendar, Rin and me board games, and also doujinshi of Rin and me… made by Hatsune Miku—

What the heck she can draw!

Oh wait that's not the problem here!

Currently I'm in the remote section of the school that known to have unused classrooms for several years. But that doesn't make them the right to change the interior!

"Awesome right?" Miku grinned as some drools escaped her mouth. "We made this room when we transferred here."

"Yup, we are members of the RinxLen After School Fanclub!" Gumi proudly exclaimed.

"And I'm the president!" Miku joined in.

It's a group of stalkers who believes what they did is legal.

How did I get myself into this again?

"I'm going to report this to the higher ups…" I growled.

"You mean the school president?" Miku asked. "Luka-nee approved it right away since we're childhood friends!" I mentally slapped myself. I forgot who the president is. Wait she's okay with it?

"Yeah, in return, she have to be one of us," Gumi laughed.

"Wait she's also a member?"

"Of course!" I think my eyeball is half out now. "Anyway, back to the plan." She became serious all of a sudden. "Miku, can you search Rin's daily routine for today?"

"Right on!" Miku energetically saluted.

Stalkers… they're worst than me… I only stalk Rin in school and on the way home. Oh yeah and also through her bedroom window when there's no homework.

"I got the records!" Miku said as she waves a note book on top of her. Gumi grinned as she took the item from her and began scanning the pages.

"Seems like Rin got a part time job today…" Her grinned went wider than before. "And this time she's wearing maid costume."

Okay where's the camera? I'll charge into the I even if they won't allow me in. "What are you planning?" I swallowed before I could ask. "Is it taking pictures?" I hopefully asked again.

"Nope… we'll be taking it to a new level…"

Rin POV

I sensed something…

Something really unpleasant…

"Rin you're okay?" Neru asked when she saw me making weird predictions. Hey, I did felt something and it wasn't a mountain of oranges fell from the sky!

"I'm okay," I replied. "I'm just feeling that something bad is going to happen…"

"Oh you mean you're nervous about your first job? You'll be okay; just smile and nothing will go wrong." I guess that's right but some people might think I'm crazy cause smiling every time when you did something wrong is not going to work.

Okay that is one thing but the other is regarding Len. That idiot suddenly jumped out of no where and sheesh… and here I thought that shota's not anywhere that dangerous. Seriously what happened with my toy that I always play with! I miss Len when he got all flustered when I went near him. And now I'm avoiding him because of said reason.

"You're okay Rin? You looked a bit red," Neru said with her usual poker face while her right hand was busy texting an alien.

"I-I'm okay!" I said the same word again and went to find another customer to serve. Working in a maid café wasn't a bad idea at all. It helped me forget what happened three days ago.

"Ka-Kagamine-san, can you help me with the customer over there?" a voice was heard in the main section of the café.

"Hey, Haku's calling for ya." Neru gave me a push. I met Haku today. Neru said she's from another school and somehow they knew each other as they work. She may get shy in a lot of occasions but she's a good girl.

All right, nothing will go wrong today. Len might say all that three days ago but nothing unusual had happened in those days. I'll just hope he's only bluffing and luck will not betray me.

"Ca-can I serve you with anything sir?" I put on my best smile and greeted my first customer.

"Well hello there little kitten," the customer said with a gangster plus American accent as she grinned cheek to cheek. Her raven hair was tied in twin tails, barely touching the ground. She wears a black high school sailor uniform with red stripes. And lastly, she had eyes that rivaled with Ruby itself.

Although I did describe all that, the person in disguise was well caught.

"Is this some kind of a joke Miku?" I frankly asked, dropping my smile to exchange with a wtf face.

"Miku?" the stranger asked as she chuckled. "Is that your boyfriend?" Well Miku is a friend but certainly not a boy. Apparently I guess she's surprised her disguise was quickly blown and thought of a ridiculous phrase to patch it up.

"No you're Miku…" Stubborn as I am so I'm not losing this one.

"Sorry to say but my name is Zatsune Mi—" she paused… thinking of a decent name for her ridiculous disguise, "…Mi— Michele!"

Uwaa…

"Remember it konekochan," she added as she threw me a flying kiss.

Uwaa…

I feel like punching someone…

How did Miku get downgraded like this? And where's Gumi? Usually those two are always side by side teasing me and Len. But Len's not here… so they took turn teasing us? That's stupid. Oh yeah I'm kinda stupid myself for thinking about that. And here I thought nothing will go wrong today. Well… something is definitely wrong with Miku that's for sure.

Before I could ask again what is wrong with her head, a figure stepped between us. Even if the sudden appearance of the person had faced his back in front of me, the blond hair which identical with mine that was tied in a small ponytail was enough for a prove. "Wh-what are you doing with Rin you- you- Michele!" Len stuttered as he pointed his right hand to the Michele who somehow resembles a lot like Miku. What the heck the guy IS Miku!

Michele abruptly stood up and stands face to face with Len. He wore his usual everyday clothes with his usual trademark shorts. But somehow he added a red scarf as an accessory.

"Who are you to her?" Michele asked in a mocking tone.

"I'm… I'm… I'm her… friend! Yeah that's right, I'm her friend!" Len shouted which more than enough grabbed the other customer's attention. Even Neru, who was busy arguing with Mikuo at the corner, seems to take an interest. Wait, was Mikuo there again?

"You idiot you're suppose to say 'I'm her boyfriend'!" I somehow heard Michele half whispered to Len.

"H-how could I say that embarrassing line, in front of other people at that!" Len began to fluster. Okay that was a little cute.

"Shut up and follow the script!"

"Umm… are you guys okay?" I asked, still wearing my wtf face.

"Who are you to her?" Michele ignored me and went from the start. Wait what? Seriously practice will ya!

"I'm…I'm…I'm her… boyfriend!" Len shouted for no reason just to get on with it. I couldn't see his face since he was facing his back to me but his ears were bright red. Oh damn I wanna see his face!

"Is that true my konekochan?" Michele asked. I want to shout who the hell is konekochan but since I'm in the middle of abnormalities, things just different than how I wanted it to be.

"Am I supposed to answer that now?" I asked, holding from being red myself.

"Um… yeah… if you follow the script..." Michele said slowly.

I guess… this is why I was feeling strange today…

"Sorry but I promise Len that I'll reveal that answer after summer ends." I replied in a serious tone and bowed at them as being follows by the café rules. "If you have no other reason to be here then I suggest both of you to leave."

Michele and Len were paralyzed at my answered and ordered some drinks to kill off the ice.

Just like that the day came to an end.

Even if I did complain all that, I still took the game seriously. I will always win when it comes to having a face off with Len. And this game won't end like the last. I really hated it when I lose. Therefore, losing is not an option. If avoiding him is the cause him to lose then I'll just do that until the summer ends.

Gumi POV
