Ohai! ~ MoNoChRoMaDdiCt here everyone! ^^ this is my first fanfic so please don't be too hard on me. If you cannot tell already this is sorta based off of Tokyo Teddy Bear by Neru (not Neru Akita) if you haven't heard of it LISTEN TO IT! Len's version is the best. I'm doing my interpretation to the song when I first heard it not the exact meaning for the song.
This is RinxLen however it's more focused on the horror and mystery but still will have some cute "fluffy" moments between the two.
Not twincest!
RATED T for murder, mystery AND death
Disclaimer: I do not own Vocaloid or the song Tokyo Teddy Bear; however this fanfic is completely my own idea so I do own that
Enjoy! ~
Chapter 1: Reckless Abandon
"Daddy! ~"
A small child's voice called musically. She skipped out from the hall into a large room where a man a woman and two children stood. They were gathered around a table talking in excited voices.
"Daddy?"
The girl approached the group. They made no effort to turn nor even made a move to show they noticed her presence. She titled her head flopping the giant white bow that looked like bunny ears. She inched closer trying to make out the words the group was saying. It would be rude to interrupt them, so she decided to be patient and listen.
"Are we really going?" one of the children asked a girl with long blond hair a shade lighter than the youngest child's.
"Yes, we are! Four tickets enough for the whole family!" The mother replied her voice mirroring her eldest child's excitement.
At her words both children at the table began jumping in circles with cries of glee. The father smiled at the two and placed a hand over his wife's on the table.
"It will be a perfect day"
"When are we going?" The woman spoke her smile just as soft as her husband's.
"Go where?"
The small nearly inaudible voice came behind them. In a second the two's happy smiles faltered as the man turned to the noise. The little girl with the giant hair ribbon blinked in her childish innocence, curious as to what her family was talking about.
"What?" The man asked in a nasty tone, causing the two children to look over.
"You said, that the whole family is going somewhere" the girl piped up, "Where is it that we're going?" she asked.
She was excited too but also confused, could it be they remembered what today was, were they going to celebrate it. Her cerulean eyes sparkled with interest.
"You're not invited"
A voice interrupted her thoughts, shattering them like glass.
"Wha...wha?" She asked blinking a few times, maybe she had misheard him. Perhaps it was a joke.
"I said you are not coming with us, the tickets are for the family. You are not welcome."
Her father answered his voice growing darker; the two children began to walk around the table to join her father.
"What did he say?" the boy said
"She's too stupid to get it" the girl added.
"YOU'RE NOT INVITED!" the man and girl chorused.
She was taken aback, stumbling a bit giving the four a confused and hurt look.
'I'm not invited? To my own birthday?'
She couldn't make sense of it. The group began to laugh
'Right this is a joke?'
She almost laughed with them if it wasn't for how scary the laughing sounded to her making her shudder and back up.

They were serious.
Chapter 1
"GET OUT!"
A voice thundered from above. A girl about six hit the sidewalk scrapping her tiny arms. Her choppy shoulder length flaxen hair shaded her face.
"You're such a disgrace" the voice said from the house silhouetted in light from the porch casting a shadow onto the blonde girl.
The girl made no movement, but the shadow did, moving from the open doorway. The light around the girl had faded. He stepped forward revealing himself to be a fairly nicely dressed man in his late twenties.
He was possibly the father of the silent, unmoving girl. He towered over the girl causing her to look up. Her cerulean eyes widened in fright.
"Leave!" his voice was fierce. The girl continued to stare with an empty expression, still not making any movement.
"NOW!" He screamed.
He drew back one foot then brought it forward again gaining speed as it crashed into the child's side. He finally got a reaction from her. She squeaked in pain landing a foot away.
A menacing grin appeared on the man's face as he walked forward and kicked the girl again and again. Each time knocking her further and further away, causing her to emit another strangled cry of pain.
"Da...ddy?" the girl's musical voice grew quiet. It was full of sadness and confusion. The man, who was her father, laughed drawing his leg back again.
"You are not my child" He gave her another blow in the side with his foot.
Tears welled up in the girls eyes as the words crashed over her. She landed even further, staring up at the man and submitted to his wishes.
She crawled to her feet and backed away as he came closer. Afraid he'd attack again; she slipped her small figure into an opening of a fence and began running off into the Tokyo district.
"Daddy...I'm so sorry" She whispered nearly falling.
She couldn't turn back for fear of seeing such a disappointed face. Her fingers clenched her shirt over her heart weakly as she tried to focus on her running. This always happened, she never understood why, or even how? Why Daddy would act like that, why mother wouldn't care.
'Are all families like that?'
She silently asked herself, wind whipping her wet hair around her as it began to rain. Of course, not all families were like hers. She had seen it in windows before such happy smiles, everyone getting along. No one else had an "accursed child" like her. She assumed it was her fault.
Mother and Father loved sister and brother didn't they.
'Why not me?'
The thoughts tortured her. She was too young to understand, not having attended school yet. She was only five, or rather six. In fact she was going to turn so that very day. Staring down at her worn-out shoes, she started to recount the events up to getting kicked out.
"You're not invited"
"Wha...wha?"
"I said you are not coming with us, the tickets are for the family. You are not welcome."
"Hear that?"
"She's too stupid to get it"
"YOU'RE NOT INVITED!"
She stared at the wet ground giving a little cough, trying to blink away her tears. She shook away the memory, rubbing her eyes. Her family hated her; it wasn't like other kids who said their parents hated them because they wouldn't give them something.
Her family literally Hated her.
They cursed her existence, wanted her dead, went out of their way to make sure she wasn't happy, this event was just today's. They had done worse before.
The six year old shivered in the cold, she didn't have a jacket. Her family didn't take care of her at all, though they were very rich and had much time. The two other children were showered with gifts and affection. She was ridiculously underfed, and was very frail.
Her parents however were not heartless, they gave her the essentials, clothes, food, and a room, other than that they showed no further care.
But...
she never pitied herself, instead she felt sorry for making the perfect smiles of her family members fade off their faces. She was sorry for existing, sorry for hurting them. Still she craved that affection every child needed in order to grow.
The rain fell harder soaking her clothes through, she sneezed and turned her head searching for a place to get out of the rain, she didn't want to get sick and further trouble her family that way. Her eyes fell onto a roofed alley way.
'That might work'
she thought with an innocent laugh that turned into a cough.
She rushed forward, her worn-out shoes sopping wet, she could feel the water through the thin material. Her thoughts were only on reaching the roofed area before the storm could get worse.
Only a moment after she reached in a giant strike of lightning slashed the sky behind her. She squeaked in shock, fear flashing through her eyes backing up further into the alley.
Across the girl taking shelter from the rain, was a box. It lay next to a large trashcan, shaking with the wind coming in through a crack in the roof. Suddenly a crash of lightning hit the roof shattering a piece of it, the debris fell onto the box tearing a side off it completely. The inhabitant of the box was revealed.
It was a small teddy bear. The bear looked as if it had been through a storm, or a few. Limbs barely holding onto the threads that made it, its original color could not be told its black bead eyes barely visible through the fallen debris.
"Dear Father mother, I'm sorry for what I've done"
The girl whispered from her spot in the alley across the bear. She glanced at the rain covered empty streets, wondering vaguely the time. The last time she had seen it was inside the house, before she had come into the kitchen where her family was gathered. It was almost midnight then. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there but judging from the rain that had accumulated she guessed it was already the next day.
'My birthday'
she thought. 'Happy Birthday Rin'
She smiled contently nearly forgetting the scene where she was chased from the house and abused by her father. She had been kicked out before, maybe not with the same extremity but still, she always was allowed back in
For that she was thankful. Rin rested her head against the wall of the alley and stared out into the rain her expression empty but at ease.
'I wish I could make them happy'
She thought closing her eyes.
It felt like mere seconds later when she blinked awake, a flash of red lit up the sky.
Rin started with wide eyes as the red-lightning shot down from the sky with a remarkable speed and clashed down into the alley across from hers. The curious six year-old jumped to her feet to investigate the odd sight.
Rain poured in from the crack on the roof causing the matted fur of the teddy bear to become drenched. Suddenly red flickered in the toy's black eyes, engulfing them more and more as the light above approached.
The lightning shot into the small fluffy form, supposedly strong enough to tear it apart. As it hit, the entire alley way was shrouded in pale red light. Smoke cleared from the box, the bear now lying on its side.
The light began to fade almost as quickly as it had come. However, the red still remained in the fallen bear's eyes. A small shadow approached the alley's entrance. Soft footsteps, as a child peered into the barely lit alley.
"Hello?"
Rin asked looking around the corner into the alley across the one she had just been in. Cerulean eyes scanned the alley for a sign of life falling onto the box, and its inhabitant. She gasped, her footsteps quickening as she rushed forward.
"A teddy bear!"
Her voice was a delightful squeak as she collapsed onto the dirty ground in front of the box. The tattered teddy bear had captured her complete attention. The six year old lifted the bear with care pulling it into her arms.
"You're so cute~" she cooed, hugging it to her chest.
Debris fell off the stuffed animal revealing soft yellow fur, matching the tone of the girl's hair. Rin continued to cuddle it, asking questions and talking to it like any child with a doll.
"Are you cold?"
"Where's your home?"
"What's your name?"
The bear didn't answer back, but then again, teddy bears were not supposed to be able to. Rin giggled holding the bear with arms stretched out above her.
"You can live with me" She said with a smile, "I'll make sure you're taken care of."
All else forgotten Rin stood and turned from the alley walking out of it with the bear still held above her. The rain was clearing the sun coming up. Rin kept walking ignoring the fact that she had been out there longer than expected.
"I'm Kagamine Rin it's nice to meet you."She told the bear, very gently waving one of its stuffed paws, "I'm gonna fix you up nice and new once we get home Mkay! ~"
her voice gaining its musical feel again, she stopped walking cocking her head to the side, her bow tilting with her.
"Do you have a name?"
Instead of doing the logical thing and looking for a tag that perhaps would give the information she was looking for she simply smiled and said in an excited voice.
"I could name you! ~"
She stopped walking bringing the bear down to her eye level. She could see her reflection in the dark orbs.
"Hmmm" she thought aloud.
The bear's eyes glowed red lightly, for a moment hiding the girl's reflection.
"Well since Rin is Right, you should be Left so...Len!" *
She seemed pleased with her decision. "Right Len?"
She raised her newly named bear above her again. The red light in the bear's eyes mesmerized her, making her feel like she had to be near this bear. It was a feeling she wouldn't understand till much later.
For now she wanted to take care of the bear shower it with the affection she craved from her family. Even if it became her only friend, one was better than nothing.
Rin dropped her arms bringing the bear to her face and lightly kissing its nose. The fact that it twitched didn't register in her mind. Rin walked onto her street holding the teddy bear she found in the Tokyo alley.
"Let's go home Len~"

* I do know that Len doesn't exactly mean Left in Japanese... But I couldn't think of a way to portray his name without actually saying his name... SO! I used this! Hope you understand!
I hope you liked the first chapter, please review below. Constructive criticism is welcome but please don't be mean. This is my first fanfic.
Thankyuu! ~
