Chapter 3
"Ugh," I groaned, and pressed the red phone key on my cell. I snapped it shut in my left hand and sighed. "Shoot," I grumbled, shoving my phone into my pants pocket.
"What is it, Mikuo?" Dell asked, besides me. I closed my eyes in concentration, and sighed again.
"Kagamine-san wants to see me again this week." I told him. Dell stared at me, holding his smokes in his right hand.
"Hn…" he looked away and said, "Gee, Len-kun's mom's a bitch, isn't she?" He blew a smoke ring and gazed off.
Wow, Dell. Way to be blunt.
"Uh, Dell, do you listen to yourself?" I asked, jokingly, and smiled weakly at him, assuring myself that he was completely hopeless. "But…" I started to say, not waiting for his response. "She wants to see Rin-san, too." I sighed. Dell stared at me, his eyes wide, but mouth shut. Speechless.
"She still thinks we found her?" he asked finally, and I shrugged.
"I'm pretty sure she thinks we found everyone, actually…"
Dell frowned. "Uh, not really." He put the cigarette to his mouth again.
"Yeah…" I answered back. There was a moment's silence, and we didn't say anything. It was awkwardly quiet…
"Man, she really is a—"
"Dell." I cut him off, holding my hand up to gesture him to stop talking. I placed my hands into the pockets of my pants, my left hand a bit cramped because of my phone.
"So…What're you gonna do?" he asked.
"Eh, I guess we can just dress up Rui-chan. She'd like that." I suggested, uncertain. Dell blew another smoke ring and sighed.
"Well, I'm gonna go ta' work."
"Kay, see ya'." I said, and waved to him, as we turned our separate ways.
Ahh, home. A wonderful place… My oasis… My paradise… I sighed as I opened the front doors, which, strangely, were unlocked.
"I'm hooome!" I said loudly as I entered, pulling my blue Converse off at the same time. When I looked up, I saw something else strange, and gasped.
A girl? A girl I don't know? Here?
Luka, Len, and the girl all saw me and smiled, except for the girl who just looked a bit surprised. They were by the staircase, left of the kitchen, and right of the bedrooms.
"Ah, welcome back, Mikuo-kun." Luka greeted, and Len grinned at me.
"Hey, Mikuo-nii!" he waved, and I walked over to the three.
"Hi, Luka-chan; Len-kun, who's this?" I looked over at the blonde girl with hair that falls down not even to her shoulders. She wore this bow in her hair that looks pretty cute on her, and barrettes that pulled her bangs to one side of her face. She also wore an outfit that looks like Len-kun's, only more feminine.
"Uh, hi, I'm Kagamine Rin!" she said nervously, bowing.
I grinned reeeal big. Len gave me a look… but whatever.
Dang, this girl's cute…
"Hey, I'm Hatsune Mikuo, nice to meet 'cha!" I smiled; she grabbed my hand and shook it.
"So you're—" I started to say, but then Rin exploded and burst out:
"Oh, wow, you all have such interesting hair! Luka-san has pink hair that's unusually long, Kaito-nii has blue hair, and you, Mikuo-nii, have what, blue hair? Green? Maybe it's teal…?" she exclaimed in one breath, her eyes all sparkly and smile so goofy. Len and Luka stared at her, looking a bit amused, and I laughed.
"Yeah, it's teal." I told her, and she gasped.
"Oh, wow, I knew it!"
Reeeeally.
"Well, Rin-san, we still need to talk, you know." Luka said calmly, placing her hand on Rin's shoulder.
"Ah, okay!" Rin said excitedly. Len nodded and agreed.
"Mikuo-nii, you can come too," Len said to me, and I shrugged.
"Sure, why not?" And then we started to walk into the family room past the kitchen.
Heh, I like this 'Rin' girl.
