The Guy Next Door

Chapter 15
Filler McFillington

Rin's POV

I couldn't believe what I just heard. My mouth probably opened a bit and I knew Len looked surprised himself. Basically, Miki was taking Len back in a sense I was like his babysitter or something. This chick was seriously insane! I could basically see the tenstion between all of us because it was so thick. I don't think I was overreacting when I said this chick was one screwed up bitch.

"Okay then!~" she said. "Let's go, Lenny!" She tugged on his arm, but he just pulled back glaring at her. "I said," she grabbed his neck, "that it's time to go!" Len coughed and scrambled to regain his balance. Honestly, I had no idea what to do. Wait...this girl was probably going to kill Len. Hell no! I quickly went over to her and hit her wrists to let Len go.

"Stop it!" I hissed. "Can't you see you're hurting him?" She glared at me and pushed me to the ground.

"Don't get me wrong, Rin, but I let you borrow him while I took care of some other business," she said. "You'd didn't actually think that I'd break up with him, did you?"

"Don't you have Jun or Mikuo?" I asked, getting in between Len and Miki. "What about them huh? We got a message from Mikuo and he said there were dead bodies-" She laughed.

"And you believed him?" Miki asked. "Jeez, that's discusting. And I thought you were my friend, Rinny!" She sighed and placed her hands on her waist. "I just want my Len back, is that too much to ask?"

"You don't have a Len." I turned to look up at Len and...well I couldn't see his eyes. His bangs covered them and his hands held my shoulders. "Miki, you cheated on me and I'm never going back with you. You're not my girlfriend, Rin is." I blushed lightly and Miki sighed.

"Alright then," she said. I looked at her in shock. "You can have him."

"What?" I asked, incrediously. She smiled.

"I have to pay you back anyway for taking care of him," she said. Whoa. Wait. What?

Okay, okay, hold on for a minute. Sorry to interupt you guys, but I have to get something clear here. What the hell just happened? -Jenn

*sighs* We've discussed this before Jenn. We never meant for Miki to be the enemy here. *looks at readers* No, not Maou either. -Renn

I think we just gave away somethings. Oh well, wanna guess who the really enemy is? ;) -Jenn

"You heard me," Miki said. "I don't want Len anymore." Um...wow. Okay. Well...uh...this was kinda awkward.

"Can I ask why?" Len asked. He was more confused than I was. Honestly, was it really necessary for us to get the restraining orders then? She could have been joking, but I just didn't see it.

"Because, I'm tired of you," she said. "I'm into the dark haired guys this time. It also means Mikuo can stop being a total douche and trying to get me into trouble with the law." On cue, Mikuo came out from behind a stall, eating cotton candy and smiled.

"Do you have any idea how pissed Neru's gonna be when she finds out?" Maou asked. Oops, I forgot he was still there. I shivered at the thought of Neru knowing. She'd probably kill us all, no freaking joke.

"Wait, but I thought..."

"Okay, fine," Miki said. "I admit that sometimes I do treat guys as things, but I can't help being fickle." She turned around, but looked back to smile at me. "And pretty soon, Rin, you'll get bored of Len too. Whoever you are with the red hair, you better catch her after that." Then she ran back into the crowd, leaving Mikuo with us.

"I think...I'm gonna go home now," Maou said.

"That girl," Mikuo said, looking around. "Anyway, we should enjoy what's left of the festival." Me? Get bored of Len? What?

"There you guys are!" Sen called. I turned around to see her, Retsu, and Meiko walking towards us waving. "Bunny? You look like you've just seen the dead or something."

"What happened?" Retsu asked.

"Len, can I borrow your phone?" I asked. He quietly slid me his phone and I dialed Neru's number. "Neru? It's Rin. Uh...how am I gonna say this...Miki's not as screwed up...no wait. Mikuo played a joke on you and I feel like I need a nap." I gave Maou the phone and stepped back a couple of feet. I could still her Neru's angry screams.
