Loving You Chapter 1
Raindrops fell from the sky, rolling down the glass window. Fine looked out the window, gazing at the dark sky. She took a bite out of her cake, enjoying the taste.
"Fine, your mother is calling you for dinner," Camelot, the household maid informed Fine.
Fine got up and nodded, going out of her room and down the stairs to the dinning room.
"Fine, it is rude to be late for dinner, especially when we have guests," Elsa sternly chided Fine. Fine bowed and sat at her seat. She scanned the guest. He was a good-looking man around his early 20s, having dark purple hair and eyes.
"Sister, this is Shade, my fiancé. Shade, this is my older twin sister, Fine," Rein introduced them. Shade offered his hand for a handshake. Fine stood up and bowed, ignoring the hand. He took back his hand and sat down, with Fine following suite.
"Sorry Shade, my sister is like that," Rein apologised. Fine smirked, "Rein, when have you started calling me 'sister'? Hasn't it always been 'that girl'?"
"Sorry, she is a little rebellious," Elsa smiled apologetically.
Shade looked at his future sister-in-law. She was cute and pretty, with her dark pink hair falling to her waist. She had her mother's red eyes. Her eyes… That was what made him so curious. Her eyes were cold and emotionless, which made him curious. Rein's eyes were full of warmth and cheerfulness, always sparkling. Fine's eyes were cold, hard, emotionless, like a black hole that sucks everything inside and made people feel that if they gazed into those eyes for too long, they can never escape and will only sink further in.
"Darling, here," Rein took a piece of chicken using her chopsticks and gave it to Shade.
"Thank you. Don't just take food for me. You have to eat more too, since you are so thin," Shade thanked her and gave her a piece of fish. Rein smiled happily and nodded, her eyes shinning with bliss.
Fine ate in silence, wanting the dinner to end. Fake. The smiles her mother and sister gave her were all an act. They hated her, even to the point of wishing for her death. Fine could tell. Their eyes showed it, but they put on an act whenever there is a guest. Humph. Hypocrites.
"I have finished eating. Thank you for the meal," Fine bowed and left, going to her room.
"I am so sorry. Fine's character is a little weird. But when did she start eating so little?" Rein and Elsa once again apologised.
"It's okay," Shade smiled kindly, watching Fine's back view. What did she go through that made her eyes so cold. He looked at the girl sitting next to him. Rein Kagamine, his fiancée. Theirs was an arranged marriage, with Rein really loving him. But for him, the marriage was just another job he was forced to do by his family.
Fine sat on her bed and sighed. She should have eaten more before she came up. Forget it. She got off her bed and opened her 'mini' refrigerator, taking out a huge slice of strawberry cake. She ate them, only full when she finished 10 full cakes. It was getting late and there were classes at the university the next day. She washed up and went to sleep.
It was that dream again. "Fine! Look at what you have done!" Elsa screamed, storming out of the kitchen. "How many times have I told you to not to enter and mess up the kitchen? Can you be like your younger sister! Stop causing me so much troubles!" Elsa slapped Fine. The petite 7 years old burst into tears, falling onto the floor.
Truth stormed in, "Stop making so much noise! I am busy! Why can't all of you understand! YOU! Stop crying! All you can do is cry! Useless! Can't you be more like Rein? Look at her! She is doing her work! She always gets full marks! What about you? Why did we have such an idiot for a daughter! Go away!" Fine's tears wouldn't stop no matter how much she tried.
"EH! You are disturbing my studies! Go away idiot!" Rein came in and screamed at her sister, pulling her hair.
"Let's send her to the Diamonds. She's a junk here." Elsa looked at Fine, disgusted. She yanked her up, brought down a luggage filled with Fine's clothes and pushed her into the car. They drove off to the Diamond's house.
"Papa! Mama! Don't go! I will be good! I will get 100 for all my tests! Papa! Mama!" Fine cried, kneeling down. A beautiful lady hugged her shoulders, trying to calm her down. Her cries never reached her parent's ears as they drove off without looking back.
The scene changed. Fine was now 11 years old. She was on the edge of the hill, playing the flute as the wind played with her hair. The song she played was beautiful and sad, totally magical. Someone pushed her and she fell. She caught sight of blue hair flowing.
The scene changed once more. She was out with her father at the cake shop. She was picking out a cake for her sis and her 14th birthday. She finally found a cake that was special enough. She turned around, wanting to tell her father. But all she saw was he being knocked down by a car, landing on to the ground. The car didn't stop. The truck behind ran over him, blood oozing out. Blood. Dead. Darkness.
Fine woke up, her hands clenched into fists. The memories were still fresh in her mind. She bathed, washed up and ate her breakfast (brioche) before leaving for school. It was another boring day.
Shade got off his car and went into his office. He was a young CEO at the age of 23, working in his family company. Work was as boring as ever, doing the same old thing. Time past real slowly for him and he was relieved when it was time to knock off.
He drove to the park near the university Rein was studying at, wanting to take a walk. He strolled, breathing in the fresh air. The scent of flowers lingered around. He walked further into the park and he heard someone one playing a flute. The song was breathtakingly beautiful and sad, like a lily. The song changed. It was equally beautiful and sad, a sense of longing lingering in the notes. He walked towards the source of the song.
But before he could reach the mysterious person, it started to rain. He had no choice but to walk back to his car. He was near his car when he saw a familiar pink haired girl. "Miss Kagamine?" He thought aloud. She turned around, drenched, her eyes still as cold as ever. "Mr Yue," she said coldly and walked past him, her scent of cherry blossom lingering, mixed with the fresh scent of rain.
"Do you need a ride back?" Shade asked on an impulse. She turned around and looked at him.
"There's no need to. Thank you for asking," she answered politely before continuing walking forward. Shade stared at her back view, ignoring the rain. She had a special aura; like an aura that pushed people away, blocking them. An aura that made her special, untouchable, like a priceless diamond. She was like a phoenix, rising above others, not letting anyone near her. Intriguing. Shade shook his head as he entered his car.
Fine walked home, the rain falling onto her. She tilted her head up, gazing at the darkened sky. She closed her eyes, feeling the raindrops on her face. She loved that feeling. She loved being under the rain, feeling free. A smile formed. How long had it been since she last smiled from the bottom of her heart? She walked home, enjoying the rain.
Suddenly, she could no longer feel the rain. She opened her eyes, trembling. Uneasiness and fear overcame her. She felt so empty, so vulnerable. It was than when she realised that the rain had became her only warmth. She looked up; a purple umbrella was covering her. Shade Yue. She clenched her fists, trembling.
"You will catch a cold. Be careful," he said, his voice deep and gentle. Fine looked at him, raising her right hand, slapping him. The umbrella fell. She ran. The rain continued to fall.
"Fine! Why are you drenched! If you catch a cold, it will be so troublesome! Why didn't you call your driver to pick you up?" As soon as Fine stepped into the huge mansion, Elsa started shouting.
"Madam, let Fine in first," Camelot wrapped a towel over Fine's shoulders. Fine bowed slightly to Camelot and walked to her room.
"Fine!" Elsa shouted. "Ah! Rein, you are back. Camelot, please brew some rose tea for Rein!"
Fine rolled her eyes and sat before her dressing table. She stared at her reflection, looking at those cold and emotionless red eyes. She couldn't recognize herself. She used to be bubbly and cute and… But now… She reached out, touching the mirror. It was she. Fine Kagamine, the lady that brought embarrassment to the Kagamine family. She stood up and went into the bathroom. Her clothes fell and she step away from them. She gazed at her back through the mirror, looking at the scar running down her mid back.
