Your Guardian Angel

Chapter 2
In The Hatsune House

The boy took her to his condo and lead her to an empty guess room. Rin held her little kitten closely, looking around the place. The boy went around the room, opening the curtains a bit and pulled out a towel from the dresser in the corner.

"Um..." Rin called. "N-no offense...but why'd you bring me here?" The man combed his blue hair back with his hand and smiled at her, handing her the towel.

"You're too young to be out on the streets by yourself," he told her. Rin blushed a bit and Nemi mewed. "Anyway, my name's Kaito. You are?"

"R-Rin..." she told him. Kaito could see the caution in her eyes as the way she stood told him of her defensive nature. Just like someone else he knew.

"Rin, there's no need to be scared," he said. "I'm not going to hurt you." Rin inwardly bit her lip and she held her kitten closer to herself. "In fact, my sister and I adopt kids all the time." He smiled brightly, but Rin didn't look convinced. "Maybe you'll feel better if my sister came to take care of you..." Rin nodded a bit and Nemi licked her cheek comfortingly. "Right then. Her name's Miku. I'll be right back." He walked out and Rin looked around the room. It was a pink, normal sized room with a seating area near the window and a twin sized bed. A white, wooden desk with a lamp light and a desktop computer lay next to the balcony. There was also a closet and and small TV placed on the wall.

"It's a pretty cute room, isn't Nemi?" Rin asked her kitten. Someone knocked on the door and Rin turned around just in time to see a teal haired girl enter the room.

"I'm glad you like it!" the girl said. "My name's Miku Hatsune." Miku bowed politely. "You must be Rin!" Rin nodded slightly. "C'mon, let's take you a shower and get you into clean clothes." Nemi mewed and Miku scratched it's chin gently. "Your kitty can stay in your room as well!" Rin placed her kitten on the bed and followed Miku to the bathroom. Miku turned on the water and checked it's temperature before turning to Rin. "You're room's just next door so you can go pick out the clothes in the closet from there, okay?"

"O-okay..." Rin murmured. Miku left and Rin started to strip, climbing into the shower. She pressed her head against the cool tile as the warm water sprayed itself on her. She wondered why she was so lucky to have met Kaito and Miku. At the same time, she wonder if they were really who they said they were. They seemed nice...and they shouldn't be any older than their early twenties...And if they've been adopting like this, they should have more kids around here, right?

"I'll stay here as long as needed..." she told herself. Then she continued to bathe.

Rin wrapped her hair in a towel as well as her body before she started to sneak out of the bathroom. Obviously, she wanted to get out of the cold air wafting around, but she didn't expect anyone to be in the hall as she sprinted.

"OW!" Rin was thrown back on the floor and her towel for her body lay on the floor. Across from her, a blond boy was on the floor as well, rubbing his head. Rin's skin started to flush and the boy looked at her in surprise.

"S-sorry!" they both said in sync. The boy's face flushed a bright red and he looked away.

"A-are you alright?" Rin asked.

"Y-you're t-towel..." the boy said, focusing on the painting on the wall. Rin scrambled for her towel and ran into her room quickly. Her heart was beating like a hummingbird's and she ran to her closet to pick out some clothes before jumping onto her bed. Nemi jumped on to the bed and nuzzled her nose to Rin's neck. Rin tilted her head and kissed the kitty's nose.

"Thank you," Rin told her kitty. Nemi wore a white bow around her neck and smells sweet like vanilla. Rin sat up and dusted her clothes off. Honestly, she just randomly grabbed what whatever she found in there. Rin stood up and walked to the mirror to check how she looked. She was wearing a yellow tank top and a white fluffly miniskirt. Her long, blonde hair looked brighter and yellow-er than before. It looked better when it's clean, mostly definitely. Her hair was so long, it ended at her hips.

"Rin?" She turned around and saw Miku come in with, a pair of scissors in her hand. "C'mon, let's cut you're hair a bit!" Rin nodded slightly and Miku directed her to a chair to sit in. Rin closed her eyes and Miku began to cut her hair. Shorter and shorter, the longer Miku took cutting her hair, the more nervous Rin became. "Relax, Rin, I own a beauty parlour!"

"O-okay..." Rin said, biting her lips. Miku giggled gently and finally, she finished.

"All done!" Miku chirped. Rin cracked open her eye to look into the window and her eyes widened in surprise. "Do you like it?"

"I-I..." Rin stuttered. "I LOVE IT!" Rin ran to the mirror and observed herself in the mirror as Miku vacuumed up the blonde pieces of stray hair on the wooden floor. Rin's hair was cut to gently sweep her shoulders, but not in a straight fashion. Miku had cut her long bangs into side bangs and pinned them up into a cute side swoop with a few white hair clips.

"Oh!" Miku said, snapping her fingers. "Dinner's in a few minutes, okay?"

"Okay!" Rin said happily, playing with her hair.

"One more thing," Miku said. "Can you tell that to Len next door? He's a blonde boy, around your age."
