Kagami: ok, I was a little stuck, but I got a good idea for this chapter!... I think.

Yeah… em… on with the story.

I don't own vocaloid.

…

Len, and I sat awkwardly on the couch. We didn't talk, and the TV wasn't on. We just sat there.

Eventually, I grabbed a notepad, and a pencil.

Nice acting! You really

got Dell to shut up!

I gave a tiny laugh –though it hurt like hell to even try-, and handed Len the note.

He looked it over for a moment.

"Yeah… that was pretty nice acting, huh?" he laughed, setting the note on the coffee table before standing up "I'm gonna go ask manager if I still need to work, don't get kidnapped while I'm gone,"

I nodded before he exited the room, and if I could, I'd sigh.

I wonder if I can work still, people thought I was mute before. What's the difference?

I tugged on my bandages, ripping them from my face, and throwing them to the ground.

Stupid things. I hate them. This stupid eye ruined my life. Well, technically Mayu did. I mean, I wouldn't be in this huge mess, right? Or maybe it all started with me… that was it wasn't it? I told Mayu I hated her. Then she went all crazy… I wonder why she even cared. She hates me too. Right? Of course, why am I arguing with myself?

Frustrated, I decided to explore the mansion, being I never actually had the chance.

I did grab a new bandage, and brought along a pen, and the notepad. Just in case I ran into anybody, of course.

I decided that since I never been anywhere pass the library, my room, and the entrance hall that I'd explore the left of the mansion.

In the middle of exploring, I did find a room that caught my eye! It was full of plants, and the ceiling and walls were made of a glass. It was really pretty. By what I've read most of the flowers in this… hmm what would this be called? A… well I know it's a garden, but I don't know what kind. Anyway, these flowers seem to be one found in a butterfly garden.

Yet there is a lack of butterflies…

Still, it seems like a nice, quiet place to read.

Two out of three times Manager will be squealing in the library over some new manga she ordered. Hana Kimi? Was that it? Either way, quiet was something you were not going to get anyway near manager.

…four days later.

Today, I found the garden did hold a form of life. Just, not a butterfly.

Instead, there was a small Siamese cat. It seemed shy, possibly liked to keep his, or her, distance. It seem to have been an outdoorsy kinda cat. A hunter even, a strange bird here, and there. It didn't seem to stay in the garden, which was strange. I figured it was manager's, and that she had just let it out sometimes.

Then, a few more days past. Nothing interesting had been happening, and for some reason Len had been avoiding me. I found out manger NEVER had a cat.

Meaning, it was a stray. That or, the owner let it roam wherever.

Sometimes it would watch me read a while away, inside the bushes usually.

One day the cat wasn't there. It didn't bother me really, only made me curious.

"Hey Rin, time for dinner," Piko reminded me.

I nodded, my throat still in pain.

I place my book on a small rock, and followed Piko to the dining room. He was apparently talking, but I wasn't listening.

Piko Pov

"So," I finished "you want to go to a restaurant, or a movie together?" I said, stopping.

Rin kept walking.

…

ARGH!

I just confessed –well I may have done that before- my feelings, and she didn't hear a word I said!

She's been out of it since Len found her with that Dell guy… always in that garden with some cat… avoiding all of us most of the time. She just sits, and reads her stupid little books. Yeah, I bought her a few, but she didn't even thank me!

Rin Pov

Piko's acting weird. He keeps staring at me as I eat with a weird expression.

Was he aggravated? If so what would make him be like that?

Manager seemed to be yapping about a new manga again, no surprise there.

Gumi was munching on a carrot, much like a rabbit.

Miku was happily telling a waiter some story.

Yuki was laughing as she ate a sandwich of some sort.

Len was… staring at his fruit salad.

Wasn't he hungry? He hasn't eaten since breakfast, and I'm not sure he had lunch.

I wasn't particularly hungry either. I had been eating like a bird all day. Snack after snack.

I pushed my plate forward, and stood.

"Done eating already Rin? Even if you're on a diet you shouldn't starve yourse-," Manager started before Piko mumbled something.

It became quiet, and I simply decided to walk off. Continuing to read my book, the cat returned. I only noticed after I finished the book, and set it down.

It looked at me, before running off again.

I looked up, the sky was pitch black. Must be midnight.

I found my way back to the room. Only to see Len on the couch; still not asleep. He looked to me before back to the floor.

"Rin, could I talk to you?" he said, patting the side of the couch.

I sat down, curious to what he had to say.

"I wasn't acting when I said I liked you," he said "I really like you,"

I stared at him, what was I supposed to do?!

"I um… this is awkward, I'm sorry…" he said, his face turning red.

I thought he would have just pushed me away, and sent me to bed in his embarrassment.

Surprisingly, instead his face started to move toward my mine.

What should I do!?

I panicked, and froze in place.

This wasn't in any of the books! What do I do!?

Then as I was thinking that he may just kissed me, his head collapsed on my shoulder, and his arms wrapped around me.

"I'm sorry," he sighed.

…

Kagami: umm… uh…. I um… got stuck… and a cat happened… um… huh? Um… eh….. did you guys like it? I think it was kinda weird… what to do…
