Chapter 1: Daughter of Evil

Rin sighed as she looked out at the river that ran beside her palace. It was 3 o'clock, tea time and she was hungry. Len had better not be late.

The door opened as Len walked in, bearing a tray with a snack and some tea on it. 'Here you are milady.' He said respectfully, as he gently placed the snack and tea onto the table in front of her. 'It's about time.' Rin said, inspecting her elegantly done nails. 'I thought you would be late.'

'Never milady'

'Yes. Len is never late. He is the only reliable one.' She said, smiling daintily. She sat up straighter as she bit into the snack. Brioche. Her favourite. Len always knew how to please her when she was distressed. 'Len.' She said, the word rolling over her tongue like water. He looked up at her, his wide blue eyes showing the slightest surprise. 'Yes milady?'. Rin looked down at him, smiling ever so slightly. 'Nothing.' She said, laughter in her pretty eyes 'I was just thinking, Len has become so grown up.' Lens' eyes widened in surprise. 'Th-thankyou milady.'

Another servant knocked on the door. Rin sighed, annoyed. Trust another servant to ruin a nice moment with Len. 'Come in!' she called. A small girl with curly pink pigtails entered. 'There is someone to see you, your highness.' She said meekly, and fled the room. Rin scowled. Another commoner's problem. But she had to deal with it. She was in charge, after all. 'Fine.' She said 'Len, clean up.' He bowed to her. 'Yes milady.' Rin smiled.

'Thank you. Brother.'

Rin frowned at the wreck of a person in front of her. Her dirty yellow hair was pulled up into a messy side ponytail, and her clothes were far too small for her. Her golden eyes were filled with unshed tears. Despite all this, Rin felt no pity for the poor thing in front of her. 'You don't have enough money to pay the taxes, you say?' she said, sitting up straighter 'Why should I pity you? You, of all other people. If I were to pity you alone, everyone would want my help. Which is why,' she said smiling 'You will have to pay the price.'

The girl's eyes widened in terror. 'B-but you're majesty, we aren't getting any money, and you aren't paying us for the things we make for you...' she said, shaking with fear. Rin sighed in exasperation. 'No! The things you make for me are rubbish! If you thought that you were useful to me then think again!' She glared at her 'I asked for a necklace with rubies not garnets! If you can't even do that.' She smirked 'then you are of no use to me.'

'Len!' She called, 'Come here!' Hurried footsteps resounded through the hallways. The door opened. 'I am here milady.' He said, bowing. 'Len,' Rin said idly, looking at her nails, 'Please remind this pea- um, dear guest of the penalty for not paying the taxes.' Len bowed again. 'Yes milady.' He walked towards the girl. 'The penalty for not paying the taxes is,' he lowered his eyes 'Death.'

The girl cried out, tears flowing down her face.

'Well then?' Rin said, indicating the girl with her foot 'Finish her off.' Len bowed his head, and drew his sword. The girl was screaming now, wailing and thrashing. The noise was hurting her head. 'Hurry up Len, her screaming is bothersome.' Len approached the girl, now sobbing quietly.

Her sobs were silenced, and blood now pooled on the floor in front of her. Rin smiled, satisfied. 'Thankyou dear Len.' He bowed. 'Now, clean this up! I can't have blood in front of my throne now can I?'

Rin sat on her bed, her hands folded in her lap, thinking. There was something troubling her. 'Len!' she called, tilting to one side 'Come here!' Len opened the door and walked in almost immediately. He must have been waiting for her to call him. 'Yes milady?' he said, bowing low. 'I have heard rumours,' she said, narrowing her eyes 'That my darling Kaito, Prince of Blue is courting another woman.' Len looked up at her, a strange expression in his eyes. 'And what shall we do?' he asked, lowering his head. Rin smiled. 'You shall travel to the country of green.' She said defiantly 'And you shall see if the rumours are true.'

'Yes milady. To the country of Green.' Len remained on the ground. Rin smiled heartily. 'Get up Len! You are honoured to be serving me! So be joyful!' Len got up and looked at her and smiled. Rin smiled back.

'Now Len, go prepare yourself. Come back when the rumours have been confirmed.' She lifted up her hand 'Or crushed.' Her fist snapped closed. Len bowed. 'Yes milady.' He said as he exited the room.

xx~Daughter of Evil~xx

Three day later, Len came back. He seemed quieter than usual. Rin smiled at the news. 'Len! Dear Len! Come here and tell me of your news!' Rin called, biting into her cake. Len entered the room and bowed, kneeling on the floor. 'Milady,' he said carefully 'I am afraid,' he lowered his head.

'That the rumours are true.'

'No!' Rin shouted 'No! That simply cannot happen!' She threw her plate onto the floor, the cake long forgotten. Rin was filled with rage. 'Len!' she snapped. 'I will not believe this until I see it with my very own eyes!' She stood up. 'We are going to the country of green. I am going to investigate this myself!' She looked at Len. 'Alright?' Len bowed. 'Of course milady. Again to the country of green.' Rin smiled, calm again. He was so obedient, and this pleased her. She liked being above others.

'Now. Let us prepare. I will need my luggage packed, Len. I trust that you will attend to that?' Rin smiled, tilting her head to one side. Len nodded and walked to the door. 'Of course milady.' Rin watched him go. 'Oh and Len' she called after him. 'Yes milady?' he looked back through the door. 'Don't forget my snacks.' Len bowed again.

'Of course not, milady.'

xx~Daughter of Evil~xx

Rin looked out the window of the carriage. She could see a marketplace, with green-haired people bustling around the place. 'So this is how the commoners live.' She said, gazing around in wonder. 'How poorly.'

They stopped in a small courtyard. Len jumped out and offered a hand to Rin. 'Thankyou Len.' Rin stepped out into the courtyard, and looked up an alley into the marketplace. She blinked as she looked around. 'Come Len. We shall investigate this place.' Len bowed 'Yes milady.' Rin held Len's arm, as if she were his bride. 'Milady,' he said, looking at her worriedly 'I am but a mere servant. Is it alright to act as if I am your fiancé?' Rin looked at him 'Why Len, it is just like the old days. I am in charge and I can do whatever I want.' Len nodded 'Of course, milady.'

They wandered the streets for a while, Len quietly assertive, and the Princess looking around in wonder at the poorness of the place. Rin smiled. She could tell just by looking that these people were poor. What boring clothes they wore! What dirty faces and hair! She smirked. She was obviously above these people. 'Len.' She said, smiling at her servant. 'Len.' He wasn't responding. 'Len!' She shouted. Len flinched and turned to face her. 'Yes milady?' he said, a vacant expression on his face. Rin frowned at him. 'Len, daydreaming isn't like you. What on earth were you looking at that would make you ignore me?' Len bowed his head. 'N-nothing milady. I'm sorry. I was just thinking.' Rin looked at him questioningly 'Very well. If you say so. But next time, make sure to pay attention.' Len bowed his head in response.

The next day, Rin caught Len daydreaming again. 'Len! Did I not tell you not to daydream like that?' He didn't answer. Rin followed his gaze onto a young maiden. She was small, with long, green hair bunched into two ponytails on either side of her head. Her posture was good, and her figure was elegant. Her eyes, large and green, shone like deep sea pearls. When she laughed, it was like song. She was, in a word, beautiful.

Len was staring at her, happiness and passion in his gaze, and what seemed like a bit of sadness. It was something that Rin had never seen him look like before. Rin frowned, why was he behaving like this? This was her servant, her brother, her Len. He did not daydream. He did not stare at random women in the street. He did not show strange expressions towards commoners. This was not like him. Rin thought about it for a while. Then it hit her.

Len was in love.

A wave of jealousy flooded through Rin. This was her Len. Her loyal servant who had always been there, no matter what. The silent boy who would always do her bidding. The waiter who was never late. The only one who he could look at with love would have to be Rin. He was simply not allowed to pay attention to another girl. Rin was furious. She looked around for a distraction. Only then did she realise the man standing next to the Maiden of Green.

It was the Prince of Blue.

xx~Daughter of Evil~xx

That night Rin confronted Len. 'Len!' she yelled 'Come here immediately!' Len entered the room and bowed. 'Yes milady?' Rin scowled. 'It seems that the rumours are true. My Prince of Blue is courting a Maiden of Green. This cannot happen. He belongs to me and me alone. That woman you were looking at today.' Len looked up at her, his face fearful.

'I would like you,' Rin said, smiling 'To kill her.'

Len's eyes widened in protest. 'B-but milady...' he trailed off 'She hasn't done anything! There is no need to...' he lowered his head 'Kill her.' Rin's eyes widened in shock. Len had never, not even once tried to defy her. For the small amount of time she had been in charge, he had never disobeyed her. He had always just nodded and went along with it. 'No.' Rin frowned 'She is guilty of taking my Prince from me. She must die because she stole the one I love from me.' She looked down. 'In more ways than one.' Len looked up, surprised. 'I... Yes milady.' He lowered his head. 'It shall be done by morning.' Rin smiled. 'Good boy. Now, off you go.' Len stood up and left the room, his head bowed.

xx~Daughter of Evil~xx

The pink-haired servant from before burst into the room. Rin frowned. 'Did I not tell you to knock?' The servant bowed. 'I-i'm sorry your highness. M-master Len is back.' Rin stood up. 'Len is back? Let me see him at once!' Rin hurried out of the room, the servant trailing behind.

Len was sitting on a bed, covered in blood. Rin's eyes widened in shock. She hadn't expected him to be so... bloody. Len looked up at her and smiled. 'I'm sorry, did I scare you?' He said softly. Rin shook her head.

A single tear rolled down his cheek.

Rin gasped. She had never seen Len cry. Not ever since the day they were separated as children. Len, who was always so strong. Len, who despite everything always remained calm. Len, who never revealed his true feelings under pressure. Her strong, calm wonderful Len. Was crying.

As if one tear was a ticket to the rest, the tears began flowing. He sobbed and wailed and writhed around on his bed like a mad thing, covering it with blood. 'Why!' he wailed 'Why! I obeyed my princess, I did what she wished!' He sat up and looked up at Rin, trembling gently.

'So why won't my tears stop?'

xx~Daughter of Evil~xx

Rin returned to her palace. She sat on her bed, looking out the window. Apparently the people were unhappy with the Maiden of Green's death. The Prince of Blue hated her now. Oh well. At least he had suffered like she had. Meiku, the Daughter of Red also hated her. Several years prior, Rin had killed her father, Gakupo, the King of Purple. So many enemies. No matter. She would take them all over eventually anyway.

Len had stayed in his room for a few days when they got back. Rin had to get a replacement servant. That ridiculously stupid one with the curly pink hair. She was always late, and that annoyed Rin.

When Len finally came back, Rin was happy. He seemed fine. He had gotten over that silly Maiden of Green and was completely devoted to Rin again. Once or twice the pink-haired servant would visit her. 'Your highness,' she said is her annoyingly whiney voice 'I think you should give Master Len some more time off. He seems down. He always looks sad whenever I see him.' Rin looked at the girl with distaste. 'Nonsense. If Len wanted time off, he would tell me about it. And if he was upset, I would surely notice.' The servant bowed. 'If you say so, you highness.' And she left the room hurriedly.

If Len was troubled, surely he would say something. Surely I would notice. He is, after all my brother. He would ask for time off, like he usually does. Just like the nice, normal Len. Wouldn't he?

xx~Daughter of Evil~xx

Len burst through the door, panic on his face. Rin looked up, faintly surprised. 'Milady, they are coming, the villagers! Led by the Prince of Blue and the Daughter of Red, they are coming.' Rin tilted her head to one side 'And?' Len took a deep breath.

'They are coming to kill you milady.'

Rin's eyes widened in shock. 'No, I am in charge of them, they can't do that!' She said, hands clenched into fists. 'Escape Len. I will deal with this.' Len stepped forward. 'I am afraid that I cannot do that milady.' He unbuttoned his breeches and took off his clothes until he was standing in his underwear. Rin stared at him, surprised. 'What on earth are you doing?' Len sighed and went to her wardrobe. He got out one of the finest gowns – her favourite. It was pale yellow with a silk bodice and full skirt, edged with lace. 'Milady, put on my clothes. Escape while you can, and run away as far as you can, where they will never find you.' Rin gasped. 'Surely you don't mean to...' she trailed off. What he was doing was unthinkable. Len smiled at her 'We are twins, surely, no-one will notice the difference.' He slipped on the gown, and pulled on some of her slippers. They were slightly too small.

'No, Len, you can't do that...' Rin said, but she didn't protest when he helped her put on his clothes. He took out the band that usually held his tawny hair in place and used it to tie up hers. He then took the elegant flower clip out of her hair, and put it in his own. They had switched places.

'Len!' Rin cried grabbing his arm. 'Len you cannot do this! I am the one that deserves to die! I am the evil one!' Len smiled at her gently. 'Surely if you are evil then so am I. The very same blood runs through our veins. The villagers want a death, I will give them that, and milady will be safe and happy to live on.'

He guided Rin to the cupboard, and gently pushed her inside. Rin screamed and cried for him to let go. But he was strong, and overpowered her. 'Len, no!' Rin cried, tears pouring down her face. 'Y-you cannot do this! You are too special!' Len gently touched her cheek. 'But milady is more important and special than anyone.' He smiled at her in his special way, while Rin stood there crying. He took Rin's face in his hands and gently kissed her forehead. 'It has been a pleasure to serve you milady.' He said, bowing to her one final time. As he closed the cupboard door Rin only just caught his last words.

'Goodbye, Rin.'

xx~Daughter of Evil~xx

Rin sat in the cupboard and cried softly to herself. The small amount of happiness in being alive was completely drowned in the sorrow of losing Len. Yes, she could go after him, reveal herself and save him, but he would never forgive her for that.

After what seemed like hours of waiting, Rin got up and left the room. She escaped through the secret tunnel in the kitchen, and wandered around the town, listening to the whispered triumphs of the villagers.

'She is finally caught!'

'I've heard she will be executed at 3 o'clock tomorrow'

'It serves her right, for all the terrible things she's done to us!'

Rin, head hidden under her cloak wandered the streets and collapsed in an alleyway. She slept, and only awoke at the tolling of the 2 o'clock bell. Rin looked around sadly. It was afternoon, and nearly time for Len's execution.

xx~Daughter of Evil~xx

Rin stood in the crowd, shaking. She looked up and saw Len, so helpless and small. She could only look as he was forced to his knees, roughly pushed into the guillotine. She could only stand there as her Len was pushed and shoved. He looked up and caught her eye. He smiled, in the way only he could.

'3 o'clock, tea time!'

He said, a phrase that Rin herself would say so often. Tears ran down her face as she tried to imagine how she would live without Len. She waited for him to scream, point at her, rat her out, reveal himself. Yet he remained silent, ever smiling. He was going to die, and there was nothing Rin could do about it. The bell tolled 3 o'clock.

As the guillotine blade fell, a single scream was heard from the crowd as their other half's life disappeared.

Her other half was dead.
