Chapter 1: The New Girl

It was Sunday around 10 am and Rina had just gotten her things unpacked. It was raining but she didn't care, so she headed into town and stopped at the Animal shop run by Mirabelle and her daughter Julia.

The two girls stared at her as she stood wet from the rain.

Julia ran over "Rina what are you doing! Its raining cats and dogs out there. You go home before you get sick, we don't need Vaughn yelling at you when you only just got here!"

Rina looked at her "Who's Vaughn?" her voice showed slight interest at the name.

"He's a true blue cowboy and takes everything seriously. If you get sick then he'll holler at you."

"But I love the rain, and when is this cowboy here?"

"Mondays and Tuesdays."

Rina smirked "Tell you what. You send him to my place and I'll deal with him from there." with that she went home and layed on her bed after changing out of the wet clothes thinking 'A cowboy huh?' she soon passed out.

The next morning came and she got up and walked around her new home learning where everything was. Feeling a bit dizzy she went back to the house and made some hot milk.

Rina was just setting her cup down when she heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" she said sitting at the table, her cheeks were red from a slight fever as she held the cup.

She looked at the door as it opened and closed. A man stood in all black with some brown and glared at her "You were out in the rain yesterday. Why?" his harsh voice showed Julia had told him about her little walk to visit them.

Giving him a smile she said calmly "I just visited Julia. And I like the rain, it calms my nerves."

"You could get sick from it!"

She glared at him and stood shaking a bit "You must be Vaughn. Julia said you'd get..." she lost her balance and knocked her cup over as she fainted.

Vaughn quickly caught her and moved her to her bed and pulled the covers over her before cleaning up the spilled milk thinking 'she likes hot milk'

Rina opened her eyes an hour later to find him sitting in her chair with a glass of milk for himself. She sat up but held her head from pain "What happened?"

"You passed out from a fever."

"So, I've had them before. No offense but some one like you wouldn't know what its like to grow up with out any love." she bit lip in disgust at her tone.

"I do actually, since we're in the same boat on that one." His tone softened slightly as he added "Just rest today, I'll do the chores and you can go back to work tomorrow."

Rina blushed slightly and looked at him "Why would you do that for a new girl who already is causing you trouble?"

He stood and gave her a small smile as he went to the door "You like hot milk like me." and with that he was gone.

Rina felt herself turn red "No way!?!" she slowly made her way to the table and saw that he left half his cup full of hot milk. Not thinking about anything she downed it and went back to lay down "He's not so bad." she said before falling asleep.

Outside Vaughn had watched her down the last of his drink before he left. His mind raced with the image of her lips touching the cup where his did. He smirked and sighed softly thinking 'An indirect kiss..idiot'.

He shook his head as he made his way doing the chores for the day "She just arrived, she'll be like the others." he told himself.

But his mind thought differently as he sighed again 'but she blushed when you walked out...'

The night passed quickly and soon it was Tuesday morning. Rina got up feeling better then ever and saw a small note on her table. Walking over she sighed at it "He hates me already."

The note read "Rina. Get use to doing things on your own. You best learn quick or go back to the city where you came from. -Vaughn-" Rina slid the note into her pocket and went to Mirabelle's.

Once inside she sat down and broke off half a chocolate bar eating it while she saw Mirabelle help Vaughn get something from the back. As the two came out Mirabelle asked "Rina what can I do for you hun?"

Rina smiled at her ignoring Vaughn's glare and said "I need some feed. Was gonna see about getting a chicken from Taro so I could get eggs."

Mirabelle went to the back. Vaughn gave a low grumble as he was about to say something. Rina cut him off tossing him the last of the chocolate "Thanks for yesterday Vaughn." she took the small starter bag of feed from Mirabelle and went to find Taro.

The old man gladly gave her a female chick and said "Take care of it ok. Its just a baby so keep a eye on it."

"I will, thank you Taro." she took the chick home and put it in the chicken coop and gave it some food. She smiled at it "Your so cute. You should have a name..." she watched it for a moment before asking "Do you like Lychee?" the chick hopped into her lap to show she liked the name.

The whole time Rina was in the coop Vaughn watched from a distance. Something inside him told him this girl was different but he brushed it off as beginner luck as he watched the scene before him unfold.

The chick started to get restless and Rina started to sing "La la la la" Vaughn's eyes went wide at the tone of her voice thinking 'its sweeter then Lanna's'. Lychee looked at her as Rina sang "Oh the waves roll low, and the waves roll high. And so it goes. Under a bright blue, endless sky." the chick slowly fell asleep "Waves try to measure, the days that we treasure. Wave hello and wave goodbye."

When she finished the song the chick was asleep and she stood setting it on one of the small beds before going to her house to make some supper since the day had gone by fast. Once inside Vaughn stood in the doorway "Your voice is gentle when you sing."

"Vaughn!" Rina turned fast looking at him "You heard that?"

"Yes, sorry for the glares today." his voice showed he was not use to saying sorry.

"Don't worry about it, I did get on your nerves yesterday."

"Why aren't you intimidated by me?"

"You seem anti-social but I figure its best to give people chances to show their true sides. Hungry?"

Vaughn blushed "A little." he pulled his hat down to hide his eyes.

Rina motioned for him to sit as she made cream stew. Using a quart of milk for the broth. Vaughn sat watching her. Rina put potatos, onions, tomatos and mushrooms in it. She turned the heat down and let it sit to thicken.

Only after they had finished and Rina was washing the dishes did Vaughn speak "You did good at making the stew."

"I suck at cooking, mainly i only eat a few things as snacks."

"You added a food i love."

She turned to him after she was done and said "What was that?"

He smiled "The mushrooms."

Rina blushed "Glad you liked it. You leave soon right?"

He nodded "Yeah, but I'll be back on Monday."

"Then you got a good meal in."

Vaughn stood and thanked her and she walked with him to the boat. He tipped his hat to her and said "You take care of that chick so it don't die." he didn't want to deal with a dead chick when he got back.

Rina smiled "And you be sure to stay safe and try eating better." she giggled at him seeing him glare.

He asked coldly "Why would I listen to you?"

Rina tilted his hat slightly and stared him in the eyes "Because I like you and saw you truly smile after you ate."

He sighed and told her ok as he boarded the boat and left.
