He has to choose the way to use it. Then, that person

made the choice. tetsuo is our newest friend - what he is doing is

our responsability too.

-LEN

The only reason I knew that was my name -that that was the only thing that I had left- was because it was engraved on a thick silver bracelet on my wrist. it was heavy but I was afraid that if I were to drop it somewhere I would lose the only clue to my identity. That's right. I lost my memories; a case of amnesia.

I only have this bracelet, the clothes I wore and thick bandages around my wrists- that itched like crazy- to tell me a little about myself.

"Tooi , tooi , warae nai hanashi

itsuka , bokuga ina kunattanara."

I don't know where those words came from. It was words to a song. A song buried somewhere in my chest, My mouth moved slowly as I sang the words carefully and thoughtfully.

"Fukai , fukai mori ni ochi ta

kimi wa hitori de yukunda ze."

The lyrics in their own way were sad. My own voice was barely a whisper. My throat was so dry. But I wanted to remember the rest of the song. It might trigger my memories. It could be the only way.

How crazy was this?

Apparently I wasn't the only person who thought that I was going insane. Everytime I would try to get someone to help me by pulling on their sleeve or by going up to them, they would turn away from me. I was already being labeled as a crazy person in this city. I couldn't stand to look at a hospital. my stomach would twist into a knot and my legs would move on their own, taking me farther and farther away. What was I supposed to do from here? Where am I supposed to go?

My name is 'Len'. I'm Len. Len.

I was walking down this empty neighborhood. Trees lined the sidewalks and cars occasionally zoomed by. I spotted a cat at a window starring at the cloudy, ongoing sky. At least that cat was at home, somewhere warm and constantly reminded of where it belongs. I'm going insane.

My stomach growled under my black sweater vest. I sighed up towards the sky. A single raindrop hit my cheek and rolled down my jaw.

And now it's pouring. Great.

I ran down the street and took shelter under a small balcony on a building. I slid down against the wall, tucked my knees to my chest and rested my head in my arms.

Drip, drip,drip.

I couldn't get away from the water.

I'll wake up. I'll wake up from this strange nightmare. I'll be rolled in a blanket in my own warm bed somewhere. It won't be raining, it won't be cold. I'll be home and warm.

-RIN

Click, click, click.

Drip, drip, drip.

I sat at my desk, annoyed and anxious for school to be over. My notebook was open but not a single word had been written. Outside it was pouring -good thing I remembered to bring my umbrella or I wouldn't be happy today. At my side Miku was twiling her teal hair on her finger and popping her gum. She turned my way and sent me a smile and tried to do the same, it probably came out lopsidded because she laughed.

"Girls, is there something funny?" Ms. Megurine asked us. Her glassses slid down her thin nose as she gave us a 'tsk-tsk' look.

I shook my head. Ms. Megurine turned black to the chalkboard and began the lesson once more. Miku caught my eyes and shrugged.

The day couldn't end soon enough. My feet were tingling to start walking home and watch TV. When the final bell rang, I rushed out the classroom to go change into my outdoor shoes. I wasn't the only one at my shoe locker. Mikuo stood there.

Now, don't get me wrong. I love the Hatsune twins but I only like to associate with one at a time.

"Hey, Rin-chan." He greeted me as I reached the locker and slid out my white school shoes.

I smiled up at him, with me being a good head shorter than almost half the school. He grinned back, I could smell the light scent of green apples coming from him. Leeks were all out this morning in the cafeteria.

"Are you heading out now?" He asked.

"Yeah." I slid into my black sneakers and closed the locker.

"Can I walk you home? I-If you don't mind, of course."

Oh.

"I'm sorry, Mikuo-kun, I actually have a part time job and it's raining. You should walk with Miku, she forgot her umbrella."

Lying became a second nature to me over the years. I didn't want to hurt him.

"O-Oh. you're right," His face flushed and his green eyes slid to the floor, "Maybe another time then." he shoved his hands into his pockets and walked away, lightly brushing my shoulder as he passed by me.

The slight hurt was clear in his eyes but I could never like him in that way. We basically grew up together. i sighed lightly and pulled my bag oveer my shoulder.

Outside, I popped open my orange umbrella and started walking out the school gates. Lighting flashed somewhere over head and then the rumble of thunder followed it. The walk home was usually quiet but now it was filled with the slow drip-drop of every raindrop that fell.

I knew something felt off this morning. Like I knew something was going to happen. but I brushed it off as soon as I got to school. I shouldn't have done that.

At my bulding there was a figure crouched on the sidewalk by the stairs, getting more and more soaked. As I got closer and walked slowly towards it, I could tell it was a boy by the shape of his hunched shoulders. I stepped over to him.

I leaned my umbrella towards him, to stop the rain from falling on him briefly. His head jerked upwards and his deep, azure eyes were wide. His blond hair was stuck to his forehead by the water.

I caught myself staring and quickly said something, anything, "Are you waiting for someone?" I asked.

The boy shook his head, his eyes were rimmed red. I felt sorry for him. i couldn't just leave him out here in the cold and rain.

"Err- Do you need help?" I tried again to make him talk.

He turned away from me to the empty sidewalk. He was shivering with those wet clothes he wore. The rain didn't seem to lighten any time soon.

"My name is Rin Kagamine. I live in this building," I pointed to the building behind him, "Um...Would you like to come in for a bit?"

Something clawed at my heart. I wanted to help him. I needed to help him. I smiled and held out my hand, my own hair and clothes were getting wet.

He looked surprised for a moment and hesitated until finally he took my hand. His own grip was cold but firm and reasurring in my own small hand.

"I'm Len." He said.
