To Remember You

Chapter 6
Flights

Rin's POV

I can't believe it was time for us to leave Sapphiro. What I also can't believe is that Len and Miki are coming with us to Sapphiro. Of course, Maou wasn't very happy and Miku and Neru were a bit pissed, but oh well. I'll just tell them to suck it up! Mikuo and Len were talking at the waiting gate of the plane, Miku, Neru, Gumi, and Meiko were fighting with each other about something. Don't ask me, I don't get dragged into fights, I make them.

"Rin, how about we go get something from the cafe?" Miki asked, linking her arm with mine. "I heard they had orange muffins there!" I looked at her for a minute and my head felt as if I were hit by a metal bat. My knees caved and Miki caught me. "Rin!" Miki was about to collapse from holding both of our weights, but two arms wrapped around my waist and helped me stand.

"Hey, are you okay?" Len asked, from behind me. "You should just collapse like that." I nodded, the pain in my head fading quickly.

"Those for flight 21, please making your way to the loading gate," the woman announced. Miki sighed and crossed her arms.

"And I really wanted to go to the cafe too..." I laughed a bit and we met with the others. Good thing too, or else Meiko would've been taken out of the airport of smugging sake into her bag. I mean seriously. When we boarded the plane, I instantly wanted to trade seats with Meiko. For one, I was in between a fighting Neru and a pissed off Gumi. Two, Meiko...um...well she had the seat between Len and Miki. What has it been? About two days? Great. I'm still sounding love sick.

"Are you hungry?" Len asked, observing me. I nodded and he reached above his seat, coming back down with two muffins. "Here, I got this orange muffin for you and a banana one for me."

"Thanks," I said, happily biting into it. "By the way, how did you get your dad to say you could go to a boarding school in Sapphiro?"

"I told him Miki was going too," he responded. "My dad is a sucker for just about any girl. It's really weird and also one of the reason I stay in your dad's villa."

"Then how did you get to go, Miki?" I asked.

"Oh, I asked Luka," she said. "Hey Len, d'you get a cherry muffin?" He nodded and tossed her one. "Yum, thanks. But anyway, Luka knows that Len's going and she places all responsibility on him if I get hurt in anyway." Len groaned and I laughed.

"Great," he said. "It's always me now, isn't it?"

"Oh, relax," Miki said, crumpling up the plastic that once held her muffin. "I'm not that bad! I promise I'll be good!" Then she turned to me with a smile. "So, who are your friends there, Rin? I'd love to meet them!"

"Well, I think you'll get along with Yuki the best," I told her. "She's like the baby of our group. You already know Sen, Retsu, Meiko, and Maou. There's Prima who's like my older sister, the matured one. Lin, who's my shadow "twin" and Enma and Tonio, who are also friends, but I don't know them as well as the others." Miki looked more than excited. She started going on and on, talking about what she was going to do once she met them and how they would react to Len. Len, on the other hand, was smart and started typing on his computer, playing music from there into his headphones. Lucky. But, pretty soon, Miki fell asleep and I turned off the light for her. Len was still typing on his computer, so I leaned on his shoulder to watch.

"You're bored, aren't you?" Len asked, as he typed.

"Yeah," I told him. "I didn't know you wrote stories."

"A lot of people don't know," he responded. "But, I post them on the internet."

"That's cool," I said. "What is this story about?"

"A girl who lost her memory because her douche of a boyfriend somehow tipped her stress gauge and now is trying to make everything better," Len said. "It's actually the sequel to another story where the girl comes from Sapphiro and stay's in her father's villa in Tokyo." I stared at him a bit with my mouth open. "It's not finished yet. I'm still hoping for a happy ending."

"...then why won't you write a happy ending?" I asked. He saved the document and exited.

"Because it hasn't happened yet," he said.

"But this story...forgotten memories...is it about me?" I asked. He didn't answer and I turned to look at him in shock. "Len, is it about me or not?" He kissed me and it shut me up long enough to realize I was waking people up. "Len, tell me..." He put his laptop away and got up to go to the bathroom. I stubbornly followed him, but he quickly went into the bathroom. Another blonde hair guy exited the second bathroom and accidentally bumped into me.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said.

"No, it's okay," I said, waving. When I got a good look at him, I gasped. He looked almost exactly like Len. Wow. The guy chuckled.

"See something you like?" he asked. I blushed and waved both of my hands.

"No, it's not like that!" I said. "You just look like someone I know."

"Really?" he asked. Then he smiled as if he knew something I didn't. "Okay then. It was nice to meet you..."

"Rin Akita," I said, shaking his hand. He smiled.

"I'm Rein," he said. He waved and walked back to his seat. Why...why do I feel as if I know him? He seems so familar. Huh. Oh well, maybe I'll get to see him later or something. I waited outside of Len's bathroom for ten minutes and finally decided to go back to my seat. He was already there, asleep. How the hell did he do that? Unless...he walked behind my back while I saw talking to Rein. I sighed as I took my seat. I guess I'll just ask him tomorrow or something. I leaned on Miki and fell asleep.

"We are now landing in Sapphiro," the pilot said. "Thank you for flying Crypton Air." Len shook Miki and I awake and we started boarding off the plane. I was still a bit sleepy, so I had to hold on to Miki to keep up. Of course, she was filled with energy after downing two cappuchinos.

"So, where do we go first?" I asked, leaning on Miki.

"Well, do you think Len and I could stay over at your house for the rest of the summer?" Miki asked.

"I guess, Gumi, can you call my mom?" I asked.

"Why not me?" Neru asked.

"Because you'd probably ask for only Miki to stay," I snapped. "Gumi, please?" She nodded and started calling my house number.

"Maybe we should get something to eat first," Meiko said. "I didn't eat anything on that plane. Stupid airline food." Miku laughed and we started heading to the bagage claim.

"My car's out in the parking lot," Mikuo said. "I'll go get it, but I can only drive a few of us back."
