The Guy Next Door

Chapter 12
Len Kagamine and Ren Haine

Rin's POV

"What the hell man?" Ren asked, barging into the room. "Why the hell are you kissing Rin?" I looked at him in shock, but I soon recovered and stood up to glare at him. "Rin, let's-"

"You have no right to yell at Len!" I screamed. "I'll kiss whoever I damn wanna kiss! Why are you butting into our business, huh? Because I know that you're definitely NOT my boyfrined and I have nothing against you right now, so stop acting like I'm yours before I do have something against you!" I realiazed that I yelled at him so much, he now stood in the door way. When he finally snapped back, he pinned me against the wall and leaned down to kiss me. I pushed him back into the hallway and ran to Len.

"Damn it," Ren hissed, leaning against the way. He kept walking closer and I watched Len. Len wouldn't let me get raped by anyone right? He turned towards me and I saw his eyes...that red color was back. "Damn it Len, why the hell are you always after the girls I like?"

"Why are you raping them?" Len shot back. "Don't you ever tonuch her again!" Ren came up and grabbed my arm in the same place Len did when they almost got into a fight before. I winced at the memory as Ren slammed me against the wall and kissed me before anyone could do anything. His lips were nothing like Len's. They were forceful and scary. I cried and Len tore him away from me, throwing Ren into the hall. "Rin, stay here." Ren was on his side, trying to get up and Len helped him up by the collar of his shirt. "This is for all the girls you probably raped!" I watched in horror as Len threw him again down the hall way. I ran to the intercom and pressed the button that lead to the kitchen.

"Hello? I need help!" I said. "This is Rin Akita on the third floor and Len Kagamine and Ren Haine are getting into a fight!"

"I'll be right there," I heard Mikuo say. "Miku's going to alert the police. Stay calm, Rin."

"Okay," I said, trying to wipe my tears away. I went back into the hallway to see Len being kick in the gut by Ren. "Len!" I left myself to my insticts and I jumped on Ren's back, throwing him off balance. When he fell, I got off quickly and kicked him in his stomach. I helped Len stand and saw Mikuo run up the stairs. Len and I made it to Len's doorway and Len leaned there. Ren grabbed my ankle and pulled me down toward him, making me scream. He yanked off my short and left me in my underwear, so I punch him in the face and scrambled away. Jun was there and supported Len and Miku held me as I shook violently, crying.

"It's okay," Miku murmured, holding me close. "The police are coming, it's okay." Through my watery eyes, I saw Len coughing up blood into his hand and Neru running towards us with Meiko, Tamako, and my dad.

"Rin!" Neru called. She took Miku's place and hugged me with Meiko and Tamako were in fact sober. "Did someone call an ambulance yet?" I got up and walked towards Len. His mouth was covered me blood and some blood dripped from his forehead.

"Are you alright, Rin?" he asked. I nodded and kept crying. "Neru...can you get her something to wear? She's only in her underwear." Neru nodded and got my shorts back. I slipped them on and both Ren and Len were carried via stretcher into the ambulance.

"Can I ride with Len?" I asked one of the paramedics.

"Yes, because you looked like you need something to help your bruises," he said as I climbed in. I took a seat next to Len who reached up and wiped my cheek.

"Don't cry, it'll make me feel worse," he said. "I'm fine, don't worry." I held his hand gently and tried not to cry anymore as we drove into the hospital.

After they checked up on Len, they saw that Ren had bruised Len's stomach and ripped some of the skin on his head, but that was it. Thank God. Ren, however, fractured his skull, received a broken arm, broken ribs, and a nasty black eye. He was also charged of rape since he was turning eighteen soon and my dad was going to press charges on him. As for me, there was a bruise where Ren grabbed me and minor pain in my back where Ren threw me around like a ragdoll. They soon let me see Len when he was all bandaged up and would stop staring at the ceiling.

"How are you doing?" I asked, sitting in the chair next to him.

"Much better than Ren, that's for sure," he said. I took his hand in mine and gave him the best smile I could.

"You saved me again," I said. "Thanks."

"You need to stop getting into situations where your life could be in danger by rape," he said, jokingly. "Because one day, I won't be able to save you anymore because I'd be dead trying to protect you."

"Don't even joke about that!" I told him. "Don't you ever die for me, do you hear me? Never."

"Okay, then I'll die with you," he said. "Happy?" I glared at him.

"No," I answered, simply. "Did the doctors tell you when you can get discharged from here?"

"As long as I apply ice to my stomach, I can go now," he said. He sat up and I leaned my head against his shoulder.

"I feel horrible," I said. "I keep dragging you into things that you probably wouldn't be dragged into in the first place." I sighed. "It's all my fault." I felt him kiss my forehead.

"It's fine," he said. "At least I didn't end up like Ren. But the bandages on my head make me look kinda sexy, right?" I looked at him and he smiled, so I laughed. Always Len. It was always him to try to change the mood into something more confortable. My dad and Gakupo entered the room with everyone else peeking in.

"Len, you truly are a great boy," Daichi, my dad, said.

"I'm very glad to hear you both are okay," Gakupo said. "At least you didn't break anything again, Len. At least, it won't take as long to heal unlike that complete tear you hand on your ACL." I raised my eyebrown and Gakupo went on to explain how when Len was fourteen, he tore his ACL ramming into Rein at full speed. "Don't worry Rin, Mikuo and Miku informed the police about how Ren tried to rape you and Len tried to save you."

"But I did kind of found it to be a bit funny when the police mixed up Len and Ren's names since they sound so similar," Daichi said. That's when the doctor decided to show up, looking at a clipboard that probably held Len's status on it.

"Okay Len, you can go home now if you'd like," the doctor said. He looked at me for a bit. "Your girlfriend?" I blushed and nodded. I liked and owed him that much.

"Okay, thank you," Len said, releasing my hand so he could get up. As we walked out, I held Len's hand, but the doctor stopped Len and I.

"Don't forget to use protection." I flushed a deep red and Len just laughed.

"I heard ya," Len said, dragging me out the door. I made a decision never to see that doctor again.

The next day, I realized that it had been only a week I've been here. And in that short seven days, I've faced more than enough crap to last a lifetime. I got raped twice, have a boyfriend that has an obsessive ex, and won a singing contest. Okay, maybe that last part wasn't crap, but it was sure surprising. Seriously, I need to be more careful. Today, I wore a yellow t-shirt, capris, and flipflops with my hair in it's normal style with my signature ribbon. I walked into the living room to see Tamako and Len competing in a video game.

"G'morning," I said. They both greeted me back and I sat by Len. "How are you?"

"Fine," he said, pausing the game. "Good news, I think I found the doctor that treated me last night and sued him for sexual harassment." I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"Sorry, but can Len stop stalling?" Tamako asked. "I'm about to win!" Len turned back to the screen and their game continued as I headed downstairs. I was ambushed as soon as I set foot in the kitchen. Meiko locked me into a death hug and I couldn't breath because...well, you know. Her large bust. Anyway, I flailed my arms like crazy to make her let go of me.

"Rin! Do you know how worried I was?" she asked.

"Worried enough not to have a hangover this morning?" I asked, trying to catch my breath.

"Yes!" she said. "Although it does feel good not shouting at the morning to 'get the hell out of my bed' like usual." Amazing. I actually successfully prevented Meiko Sakine, the Sake Queen, to not drink and have a hangover this morning. You know what, this place makes everyone go insane. "I can't believe that I'm only here for like a day and you get yourself raped twice a week. You're lucky Len's around."

"Yeah, she knows that." I felt Len place his elbow on my shoulder and I turned around to see him smile. Meiko looked at him questioningly then proceeded to tap his forehead with a sake bottle.

"You have one cocky boyfriend, Rinny," she said, leaving. I blushed and mumbled an 'I know.'

"Hey, Kagamine, don't start making out in the kitchen," Mikuo said, passing by us. "We try to keep it clean here." Len rolled his eyes and I walked to the counter. "Hungry?"

"Mm hm," I mumbled. "Uh...can you make orange waffles?" Mikuo chuckled.

"I'll see what I can do," he said. Len leaned next to me in place of Mikuo and gave me a smirk.

"What?" I asked.

"According to you, you're my girlfriend," Len said, leaning his head on his palm. I blushed and looked away, making him chuckle.

"So I like you, okay?" I admitted. I honestly couldn't look at him in the face. I mean, fine I admit I like him, but it's...just really embarrassing. If you've ever been in this kind of situation, you'd be embarrassed too.

"Rin." I rolled my eyes to look at him, but he wasn't there. What? That's when I felt him press his lips against mine. I was surprised for a minute then closed my eyes as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"What did I say about making out in the kitchen, Kagamine?" We broke apart to see Mikuo holding a plate of waffles and a slightly soured expression on his face. "Here, Rin. And if you two plan to make out again. Do it outside the kitchen. I don't want to get in trouble with the head chef." I laughed and took the waffles.

"Thanks, Mikuo," I said, walking to the living room with Len tailing me. "Huh, what is there to do today?"

"I can't believe you're actually saying that!" Gumi said, appearing from behind me. I almost jumped and Len chuckled. He's doing that a lot. "Don't you remember that the festival's tomorrow?" She pulled me up. "And you still haven't gotten a yukata! We were suppose to get some fabric yesterday, but the singing contest took a bunch of our time!" She tapped her chin for a bit. "I think Luka might make one for you."

"Oh no, we're definitely not going to Luka's house," Len shot up.

"Luka?" I asked.

"Luka Megurine. Miki's eldest sister."

Oh crap.
