The Girl With A Different Side

Chapter 1: Getting Off On The Wrong Paw

Rain. All I could see was rain. It had started by merely kissing my cheeks but now there was a full on storm. I felt so lost, so confused. I had nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. My eyes began watering and I silently thanked the rain for concealing my tears. But being thankful didn't last for long.

I jumped at the sudden booming in the sky and ran into the nearest alley way. While I ran I tripped over my own, unsteady feet and went toppling over. I felt a sudden pain in my right arm and looked to find a big shard of glass sticking out of it. Resisting the urge to scream, I sat up and pulled out the glass. Damn, it was deeper than I thought.

I pressed my back up against a wall and shut my eyes. How did this happen? How did I get myself into this stupid mess? If only I'd never told him my secret, our secret, everything would be fine. But no, I had to go and let myself blurt everything out. I had such a happy life and now I'm here, in this dark alley, clinging to my injured arm while crying uncontrollably.

I then felt my body tingle and knew what was happening. Then I felt the size of myself decrease and watched the world around me grow bigger. At least I'd be left alone. I closed my heavy eyelids and sleep quickly claimed me.

Len POV

'Ah, another glorious day in the place I love the most. Yep, that's right. New school term, new school year, just lovely. And to top it all off our new teacher, Mr. Hiyama, is probably the strictest person I've ever met. Perfection. Ugh, who am I kidding? Someone put me out of my misery.'

THWACK!

I felt pain shoot through my head. 'What the?' Kaito was standing in front of me with a large book in his hand. I lifted my head up from my desk, looked up at the clock and gasped. It was lunch already? But class had just start- crap I'd fallen asleep.

"Rise and shine, sleeping beauty," sniggered Kaito, still holding that book over me.

"Seriously Len? What are we going to do with you?" giggled Miku.

"Pure laziness," said Gumi while jokingly sticking her nose in the air and Teto copied her actions. I do sometimes seriously wonder why these guys are my friends.

"Come on Len, you're smart. Yeah, I'm dumb but at least I work hard!" I think that was Mikuo speaking but I'd completely switched off. I was focused on the person standing at the other end of the classroom. She was so pretty, long red hair, big cheerful eyes.

Miki Furukara

I don't think I was in love with her but I definitely had a small crush on her. I'd never said a word to her in my life. Well, except when I crashed into her in the hallway and muttered an embarrassed, "Sorry." I just thought she was really pretty…

THWACK!

"Jeez! Stop it already! Books are for reading, not hitting!" I growled, returning from Miki Land. I was exhausted and my head was slowly making its way back down to the desk. However, before it hit I felt someone grab me. Teto and Gumi had taken one arm each and pulled me up.

"You're coming to the cafeteria even if we have to drag you!" they said at the same time. I'd been friends with those to for years and knew quite well, you do not argue with Gumi and Teto. ( I learnt that the hard way). Sighing, I let them drag me away while Miku and Kaito followed behind. Before we left I glanced at the place Miki had been. She had gone.

I quietly cursed to myself as I trudged down the street. Being the idiot I am I fell asleep in class again and my wonderful friends decided to just leave me there when the bell went. I woke up to find Mr. Hiyama glaring at me. Smiling sheepishly I went down to the buses, only to realise they'd all disappeared. It's a twenty five freaking minute walk to my place.

"Damn it!" I said for about the twentieth time. After about ten minutes my feet were already killing me and I stopped for a minute. There was a bench on the pavement so I sat down, put my rucksack on the floor and sighed. A man with dark, green hair was sat next to me but I didn't really think much of it. After a few minutes the man stood up and left. I watched him curiously, as he had the same yellow backpack as me with Len imprinted on the front- wait. I looked down and my backpack had gone.

"Hey, you! That's my backpack!" I screamed and ran after him. He just quickened his walking pace and I yelled a bit more, "Someone! Help! That guy's got my backpack!" It was useless because there no one around and the man began to run. He turned into an alley way and I shortly followed but to my surprise, he was no where to be seen.

All my school things, pencil case, books, bus pass, gone. My mobile and my lunch money to last for the rest of the week were in there too! I punched the wall in anger. I regretted it instantly for when I pulled away my hand was covered in blood. "Oh, that's just perfect," I spat. I rested my back against the wall and sat down.

"KYAAA!" I shot back up when I landed on something squishy, plus it made a weird noise. Was that… was that a cat? I turned around to see a small, furry creature giving me the evil eyes. It was indeed a cat. It's fur was a golden colour, very similar to the colour of my hair. I looked closer and saw it had big, deep sky blue eyes. 'Great, it's me in cat form.'

I got down on my knees and reached out to it. All I wanted to do was stroke it. Smooth that beautiful, glossy fur…

"Ahhh!" I screamed as the cat's pearly white, fang like canines sank into my skin. Now both my hands killed. "Look, I'm sorry for sitting on you," I apologized while standing. "Stupid cat," I added with a mutter. That was a mistake for the creature leapt at my leg and scratched it. I didn't think cats could understand people! I quickly stood up and I kicked the beast away from me. It yelped in pain and when I looked back at it, it wasn't moving. 'Crap, I just killed a cat.'

I crouched down next to it and bravely placed my hand in front of the cat's mouth to check it was breathing. I still couldn't tell so I gently put my hand on it's chest. 'Thank goodness, a heartbeat.' Imagine the guilt you'd feel if you'd killed a cat? After a few mere seconds of having my hand on it's chest, it's eyes snapped open. It began growling so I stood up and slowly backed away.

While I was crouched down, I'd found out the cat was female. I wouldn't of thought being a cat, a female cat, you'd be offended if someone touched your chest but you learn new things everyday. The cat began hissing as well as growling so I decided it was time to leave. Taking one final glance at the cat, I left the alley and made a break for home.

"Len Kagamine! Where the hell have you been?!" asked my very angry mother. "Oh, my. What's wrong with your hand?" She started staggering backwards. That's a problem with my mother, she doesn't do blood. I took her hand and led her to a chair. She put her hand on her forehead.

"Whoa, easy there mum," I said calmly and went to take my backpack off. But of course, my fingers just brushed against my t-shirt. "I just, it's, um, well a long story."

I hate to lie to my mother so I told her the truth about falling asleep and missing the bus. I then explained about the man with green hair, how I tried my best to get the bag back and punching the wall in anger. The one thing I didn't mention though, was the cat incident. I was keeping that one to myself.

"Right, ok. I'm not going to bother to yell at you. Let's just say you're grounded for a week. We'll resume this tomorrow."

I seriously couldn't be bothered to argue with her and just gave in. Slowly, I walked up the stairs, into the bathroom. I winced slightly as the cold water touched my sore hand but it had to be cleaned. I reached up and grabbed the first aid kit from the cabinet. Sighing, I wrapped a bandage around my swollen fist and put the first aid back.

Since my mother couldn't stand this stuff my sister and I had to care for ourselves when hurt. 'Oh, that's right, sis. I wonder where Yuki is right now?' Yuki's my little sister. She's five years younger than me and while I get my looks from my mother, she gets her dark hair and brown eyes from our deceased father. I don't really like talking about dad cause he only passed away two years ago. We were quite close. 'Really now, where's Yuki?'

As if on cue, a little person appeared in the doorway. "Boo!" Yuki chirped with a grin. But when she looked down to my wrapped hand her smile faded. "Onii-san, what happened?" Her voice sounded panicky and she looked worried.

I walked over to her and scooped her up. For a nine year old she's as light as a feather. "Don't worry Yuki. I was very, very silly and punched something when I got cross." I twisted my wrist around to show her I was fine and she giggled.

"Silly onii-san. You sure you're alright?"

"Positive."

"Hey onii-san?"

"Yep?"

"Read me a bedtime story, please?"

I looked down at my watch with wide eyes. It couldn't be 8pm already? Gosh, no wonder my mother was so worried. I looked back to Yuki and smiled. "Of course Yuki."

I popped her back on the floor so she could get her pyjamas on in private. After a minute she called, "onii-san!" I went into her room that was completely red, including Yuki's night gown. Yuki loves the colour red just as much as I love yellow. I sat on the bed next to her and she handed me her favourite story, 'Cats in the Closet'.

Trying to ignore my memories concerning cats, I began reading her the story. Once finished, I lay the book on her bedside table and kissed her forehead. "Sleep well imouto," I whispered and turned off the lights. I left the room feeling happy.

I loved Yuki dearly but I never told anyone, not even Kaito who's my best friend, how much I cared for her. How I kissed her goodnight, watched Hello Kitty with her and even wore goofy costumes for her. That stayed my little secret.

"Hey Mum?" I called down the stairs.

"What?" she replied.

"I've put Yuki to bed ok?"

"Thanks Len, goodnight."

"Night."

I crept across into my very, yellow room and yawned. I got myself ready for bed and climbed in. 8:20pm is quite early for me but since my homework had been in my stolen backpack and I was extremely tired after today's events I just wanted to go to sleep. Yawning again, I turned over and put out my bedside lamp. 'Now, let's pray tomorrow will be better.'

So how was it? Gah, I'm so nervous! Sorry for lack of Rin! I put in the watch Hello Kitty part because my little sister always makes me watch it. 'Who likes flowers in the sun and a party just for one? It's kitty. Kitty, kitty!' That theme tune is so catchy! XD

I do really hope you liked it and look forward to chapter two. :)
