Let's Go Insane!

Chapter 3

She watched him all night long. The boy who was like her. The boy who had kissed her. She knelt on top of the building towering above him and leaned over, over too far. She almost toppled off of the building, but she caught herself. This gave Rin an idea.

Quickly and surely, Rin made her way down to the ground. She thought for a moment as she walked over to where the boy lay. She knew him, she knew it. Then it clicked. He was the boy that had kissed her on the day she left the second school. And she had blushed and acted like a typical girl.

Rin smiled and curled up next to him on his little pallet. He was someone that she could trust, if he had kissed her when he knew she had blood on her soul. He was someone she-

He woke up with a start. The girl sleeping next to him shifted, and he mumbled an apolo-wait, what? There was a girl next to him? He turned and looked at her, studying her face and hair.

Oh. It was fine. It was her.

Rin Kagamine.

He smiled at her, and she shifted in her sleep. Len poked her, and she rolled over with a yawn. She opened her eyes just a slit and she glared at him, pouting. He poked her again, and Rin sat up. She stretched like a cat and yawned again. Rin blinked at him.

"Oh, so it is you. Good morning!"

Len smiled at her.

"Morning. How did you get out here?"

"...eh?"

"How did you get here? I heard that you were put into an asylum."

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I was." A small, creepy smile made its way onto her face. "But I got out."

Len didn't question any further.

Rin stood up and held out her hand to him. "You coming?" "Hm? Oh, yeah. I'm coming." He reached out his hand to take hers, but she lunged out and grabbed his, running off with him stumbling after her.

They finally stopped in another alley. Len steadied himself against a wall, while Rin stood next to him, peering at his face. "Hey, you okay? You don't look so good..." Len smiled feebly. "Nah, I'm fine." "Good." Rin pulled him away again, but a small mewling sound stopped her. The cat from last night was pressed up against her legs in fear. She smiled and picked it up.

"It's okay, don't worry, I will be able to correct everything." Something in her voice told him that something was off. Rin smiled at him and picked up the cat. "Hey, I'll be back in a bit. There's something we need to take care of." She smiled at him once more and went off with the cat.

A few minutes later, Len was sitting on the ground. Rin came up to him. "Come on. Let's go, our business is taken care of."

"You know my name, right?"

"..."

"It's Len, okay? Call me Len."

"O-okay. I'm Rin."

"I know."

Rin pouted, her white headband askew. "Let's go!" "Okay, okay!" She grabbed his hand again and yanked him away.

Late that afternoon, Rin leaned over and whispered in Len's ear. "Hey, I gotta head back." "Back to where?" "Back t-" Rin doubled over in pain, holding her head. It had happened again, the flash of pain going through her head. She'd dismissed it as a headache at first, but then it had gotten progressively worse...

She stood up again and looked at the worried boy standing next to her. "Just...don't worry about it." "O-okay." The boy ran off, waving and yelling happily back at her. "See ya tomorrow!" Rin waved back half-heartedly. "Yeah...let's...do that." After she couldn't see his retreating figure any more, she ran off in the opposite direction.

Rin crawled back through the window of her room in the asylum. Why there were windows that the patients could escape through, she had no clue.

But she wasn't complaining.

She ducked under the covers on her bed, fervently hoping that no one had been paying attention to the cameras in her room for the...past...day.

Snap.

She was so dead.

Putting that matter to the side, Rin rolled onto her side and squeezed the stuffed animal in her arms to the point that she thought it might burst. Loosening up a bit, she buried her face in the creature's body, her face heating up a bit and turning slightly red.

Len had been a pretty nice boy. Setting aside the fact that she'd barely talked to him at the school, there was something...different about him. Something that she didn't see in any of the people that she'd helped.

Well, he was pretty cute, but that wasn't it.

Ah. There it was. He was like her. He, a person corrupted by the people around him, was devoted to helping people, just like she was! But then...he was corrupted...Rin smiled and snuggled deeper under her blankets.

She'd have to help him with that, wouldn't she?
