Your Guardian Angel

Chapter 7
On Topic: Len's Attitude

"I thought I told you to stay away from them," Len said, glaring at the others, but speaking to me. That seriously made me mad. Who did he think he was? My mom? Miku? He had no right to tell me who I can and can't hang out what if they're a bad influence? They're who I wanna hang out with and damn it, I'll hang out with them!

"Chill out, Len," Rein said, in a taunting voice. "It's not like we were going to eat her up or anything." He smirked and gave me a look that sent shivers down my spine. "And plus, I was being completely innocent..."

"Like hell I'll believe that," Len hissed. He turned to Miki and she had a confident smirk on her face.

"It's very rude to interupt someone like that, Len," she said, laughing slightly. "And taking one of our friends away so roughly? My, you must have some anger issues. How about you leave us alone while you go resolve them, okay?" Meiko snicked and so did Ren. Luka ignored it all and wached me, wanting to know my reaction. What was did my face read at the time? Len growled and flipped her off. I laughed. I seriously laughed. They all looked at me in confusion and I had to calm myself before I lost it again.

"Just, it's funny seeing Len flip off people," I explained. "I've never seen it before and he didn't seem like the type to actually flip someone off." Luka nodded slightly, approvingly as she took another sip of her tea. Len pulled me away from them and to the corner of the cafeteria.

"I'm going to tell you this again," he said. "Stay. Away. From. Them."

"And I'm going to tell you," I shot back. "Stay. The. Fuck. Out. Of. My. Life." He growled and I gave him a smile.

"You don't know what you're getting into," he threated.

"You don't know how hard four years has hardened me while I was on the street," I replied.

"Fine," he snapped. "Go hang out with them. Give yourself to Rein. I fucking quit." He stomped off angrily and I looked at him in half discust. Give myself to Rein? What the hell did I look like? A whore? I had half my mind to flip him off. I returned back to the table and was greeted by Miki applauding.

"Great job standing up for yourself, Rin," she said. Rein girnned and beckoned to me. I walked to him and he pulled me down to whisper in my ear.

"We should go on a date sometime~" he whispered to me. I blushed and looked at him in surprise. He winked and was immediately smacked on the head with a paper fan.

"Restrain yourself, Rein," Miki said, placing the fan back into her bag. "Geez, you just met her, there isn't any rush. Right, Rei?" Rei looked up up his mp3 player and nodded carefully. "Anyway, Rin, here's what you need to know about us. Luka's a brainiac, Meiko's all brawn, Rein's a flirt, Ren's a clown, and Rei is normal silent. And I make sure Rein doesn't cheat on people, Luka doesn't look down on people, Meiko doesn't beat people up, Ren doesn't pull extreme pranks, and Rei excersizes his vocals from time to time so he doesn't lose them."

"I won't lose them..." Rei said in a hushed voice.

"I can't hear you," Miki snapped.

"I said I won't lose my voice," Rei said a bit louder.

"Whattttt?"

"I WON'T LOSE MY VOICE!" Rei snapped. Miki had a look of amusement on her face while Rei had a full out blush.

"Oh yeah," she said. "Rei has a short temper, but he always blushes when he talks loud, so it's cute." Rei frowned and his blush grew. It was almost to the point where I wanted to hug him like the shouta he looked like.

"What about Gumi?" I asked. "What was she to this group?"

"She was the trickery," Miki explained. "Her innocence who trick anyone, mostly because she was very innocent. After a bit, she stopped coming over to our parties and meetings. All because of Len Hatsune. Everyone, nad I mean EVERYONE, always loves the adopted kids from the Hatsune family. Len is the only exception. He has this air of pride he never wants to let down and it annoys me like hell. No one is suppost to be that prideful. Even Luka!"

"Hey!" Luka snapped. Miki smiled at her apologetically and Luka settled back into her seat. "I'm not prideful..."

"So...because of Len's air of pride, everyone hates him?" I asked.

"Well, he was okay at first, but then he turned into a total bastard," Meiko said, waving her bottle. "He had this attitude that even made his fangirls turn away. It's amazing, really. The only people who'll talk to him are the other Hatsunes and the Elites just because their required to."

"I wonder why that is," I murmured.

"Why don't you ask the person who knows him best?" Luka suggested. "Gumi."

"Don't," Miki said, checking her nails. "Gumi gets really protective of Len. Like, uber protective. It's no wonder why Len's always nicest to her." I frowned...Wait. Since when did I actually care? Ugh, me and my curious mind, I swear it'll be the death of me one day...

"Hey Rin, how about I walk you to your next class?" Rein asked, walking to me. He dug into his backpack and offered me a rose. How that rose survived in his bag? I have no clue, which is why I stared at it for a few seconds before accepting it.

"Um...how in the world did you keep this rose pretty in your backpack?" I asked. I've always seen it in animes when I was younger, but never in real life. Rein chuckled and kissed my cheek in a friendly way.

"That's for me to know and for you to never find out," he said with a wink.

...

Sneaky bastard.
