The Guy Next Door

Chapter 13
Luka Megurine

Rin's POV

We went to the Megurine house anyway, despite my attemps to runaway from Gumi. Len dragged Mikuo to come along, despite his protests and Tamako tagged along because she wanted to see where Jun's 'girlfriend' lived. Why do I sense extremely dark intentions from her? Anyway, Gumi happily knocked on the door and a redhead girl with her hair in drills answered the door. She was chewing on French bread and she looked like Miki, so obiviously, this was probably one of her sisters.

"Hey Teto~" Gumi chirped. The girl smiled and finished up her bread before greeting us.

"Hey Gumi, Mikuo, Len," she said. "Miki's not in right now. She's off doing something."

"We're here to see Luka," Len said. Teto let us in and pointed down a hallway.

"Okay, but she's working on something for the festival tomorrow," Teto said. We walked down the cream colored hallway and arrived at two oak doors. Gumi opened both at the same time and skipped in. There at the wooden desk was a pink haired woman working on something on her computer.

"Hey Luka!" Tamako said, running up to the desk. The woman look up and smiled.

"Hello, Tamako, Mikuo, Miku, Len, Gumi," she said. Then her gaze fell on me. "And who's this?"

"That's my step sister, Rin," Tamako said. "Luka, can you make her a yukata?"

"Hmm...sure," Luka said. She pulled out some measuring tape and started taking my measurements. "So, you're Daichi's daughter? I thought he had twins."

"Um, I am a twin," I said. "My sister, Neru, is probably still at home sleeping."

"But the only difference is that I had time to get Neru a yukata after the contest," Gumi said. "It's a really pretty gold one!"

"So we should make you a yellow one," Luka said, smiling. Well, I was planning for it to be pink, but I like yellow too. "You know, you're really cute. Are you Lenny's girlfriend?" I blushed and slightly nodded.

"Luka, we need you to also look at some restraining orders," Mikuo said, placing some papers on her desk. "They're for Len and I." Luka sighed and walked back to her desk.

"Is it Miki again?" she asked. Mikuo nodded and Luka sighed. "I'm really sorry for her. I'll sign them and send them to the government after I make her yukata." Then she turned back to me. "Would you like any kind of design on the yukata?"

"Um...can you place orange flowers on it?" I asked. She nodded and went back to her desk. Someone knocked on the door and Teto appeared again.

"You guys can stay in the game room or do whatever you want as long as you don't break anything," Luka said, waving us away. We walked out of her office and followed Teto into the closest gaming room.

"Have you met my younger sister Miki?" she asked me.

"Yeah, she seems pretty nice," I said, lying.

"I wouldn't say that if I were you," Teto told me. "She almost killed a lot of people in our backyard. I remember this one girl who got a restraining order because Miki wouldn't leave her alone." Mikuo and Len some kind of sarcastic sound and I held back the urge to elbow them in the stomach. I nodded and took a seat on the couch. As we waited, Gumi fell asleep, Mikuo read a book, Teto went to finish summer homework, and Len, Tamako, and I competed against each other in video games. Guess who won?

"I can't believe you beat us again," Len said. Tamako giggled and reset the game.

"Wanna play again then?" she asked. Len tossed her another solo game and slung his arm around me. I gave him a questioning look.

"What's wrong?" he asked. "I can't hug my own girlfriend?" I shrugged and he smiled. "Let me guess, it's embarrassing, right?"

"No, well...kinda," I admitted.

"So which is it?" he asked. "Or else, I'll have the feeling you don't want to be my girlfriend." I rolled my eyes and pointed my finger to his stomach, pressing it gently. "Ow!" I laughed and he frowned at me. "You know my stomach still hurts after I saved you."

"So that's what a real lover's quarrel looks like..." Tamako mused, looking at us. I blushed and she giggled. "It's really cute! Why haven't you taken her out on a date, Len?" It was Len's turn to be caught off guard a bit, but he recovered quickly.

"Because she just became my girlfriend not too long ago," Len responded, casually turning to me. "How about I take you on a date next week?"

"Where to?" I asked. He winked of me.

"I'll think of something," he said. I felt my face heat up again and Luka cleared her throat. We turned to her and she had my yukata in her hands.

Later that night, I sat on my bed watching videos on my laptop. My hair was tied into a messy bun with my white ribbon and I was in my pajamas. I laid on my stomach and searched the internet for something interesting when something caught my eye. A blog from one of my friends back in Sapphiro. He was one of my closer friends and I always used to hand out with him a lot. Miku, Gumi, and Neru didn't really like him because he had a dark aura, but he was pretty cool to me.

It's summer and there's really nothing to do here in Sapphiro. I mean I could go swimming, but there's no way in hell I'm leaving his house without a shirt. Rin, if you have been reading this, you know what I mean, right? You know, I miss you. Why don't you tell me where you're hiding? ;) Anyway, Enma won't stop bothering me to get on the computer and she's creeping me out right now. See ya.

I laughed to myself and sighed. That was Maou for you. Once he left the dorms without a shirt and almost got ambushed by girls. Enma was Maou's cousin that lived with him. She's another friend of mine, but she kinda scares me because she tells you about your past and future. I shivered at the thought. I had a blog to, but of course I rarely used it. What does Maou look like? Well, he has dark red hair and he's sexy. Haha, I'm not cheating on Len. It's like you saying Taylor Lautner is sexy and you were dating someone else.

RinKg

Haha, I know what you mean ;) and I miss you too. I'll email you later and you better get here quickly. And make it secretive! I wanna scare some people~

RinKg

M'kay Bunny, I'll see you there.

"What are you laughing about?" I clicked on the exit button before looking up to see Len. He was in his pajamas too, a white t-shirt and red boxers. "Let me see." He got onto the bed, but frowned when all he saw was my wallpaper.

"What?" I asked. He pointed to the wallpaper. "Yeah, those are my friends back in Sapphiro. Something wrong with them?"

"You have a ton of friends," he said. In the picture was me, Neru, Miku, Gumi, Mikuo, Meiko, Maou, Enma, Lin, Prima, Sen, Retsu, Yuki, and Tonio. Yeah, they were really great friends, but you can probably guess who my best friends were. "Who's that?" He pointed to Tonio.

"That's one of my friends Tonio," I said. "He's pretty cool." Then he pointed to Retsu. "That's Retsu. Sen's boyfriend. He's really sweet." He pointed to Yuki. "She looks really young, right? That's Yuki. She's the baby out of all of us." He pointed to Prima. "That's Prima. She's like...our eldest sister. She's pretty cool." Then he pointed to Lin. "That's Lin. She's one of the 'dark' parts of us."

"Dark?" he asked, with a smile.

"Yeah, she, Enma, and Maou are like the 'dark side' to our usual peppy selves," I said. I pointed to Maou. "He's my bestest boy friend and she's his cousin." Len looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "One of my best friends, Len. Don't get jealous."

"Me? Jealous?" he asked. "Rin, it's me you're talking about."

"Then you don't mind if I describe him as sexy?" I asked. I could see him bite his tongue. I leaned closer to his ear. "I saw him without his shirt on~"

"Rin, you're horrible," he told me, frowning. Then it instantly turned into a smirk. "I think you need a punishment." My eyes widened and I jumped off the bed, grabbing my cell phone, and ran into Neru's room. "Hey!" I stuck my tongue out at him and locked the door.

"Rin, I know you're my sister, but don't you have your own room?" Neru asked, shifting her attention away from her cell phone.

"Sorry, Neru, I'm just gonna be here for a second," I said. I flipped open my phone and looked for Maou's name.

"Hello?" I exited Neru's room and entered my room to see Len had left.

"Hey Maou," I said. "It's Bunny." He gave me that nickname after first meeting me with my bow.

"Nice to hear your voice again," he said. I blushed. Was his voice always that seductive? Wait! Bad Rin, bad! You're Len's girlfriend, remember? I giggled. "I hear you haven't changed much."

"It's only been a week, Maou," I said. "Are you really that bored?"

"Can you really blame me?" Maou asked. "So, Bunny, wanna tell me where you are?" Suddenly, my phone was yanked away from me and I looked at the person who did it. Len.

"Hey, stop calling my girlfriend Bunny," he said into the phone. I tackled Len down and stole back the phone from him. He glared at me as I continued to talk to Maou.

"Psh, sorry about that Maou," I said. I could hear him laughing. "Anyway, you can just call my mom and ask her." I looked at Len. "My boyfriend's a bit jealous of you. Ha. Okay, love ya~ Bye!" I shut my phone and finally realized I was straddling Len's lap. On my bed. With Len on his back.

"Fine, I'm jealous," he admitted. "Now can you stop it with this Maou guy?" I laughed and kissed him before I got off.

"Alright, but why can't I bring my bestie over here?" I asked. It was Len's turn to switch our positions and pin me down on the bed.

"I told you, I'm jealous." He pressed his lips to mine again and ran his tongue on the bottom of my lip for entrance. I let him have it and wrapped my arms back around his neck.

Maou's POV

"Where are you going?" Prima asked, fanning herself. I was throwing stuff into my luggage and everyone was watching me.

"A better question is why are you all at my house?" I asked. "Can you drive me airport?"

"Why?"

"I'm going to visit Bunny."

"I wanna go!"
