Neko: Story time! Story time!
Rin: You are waaay to excited about this.
Neko: Of course! I get to make Len a smexy jerk in this story.
Len: Do I HAVE to act like that?
Neko: DO IT OR YOU DIE o_e
Len: But in the story I'm already-
Neko: OKAY LET'S JUST START ALREADY.
Rin: Neko doesn't own Vocaloid, Crypton does!
Can't stop loving you.. You must be wanting to see me very bad, so that you have to come to this deep forest. Foolish, pitiful, beloved person..
Can I eat up everything?
The chilling wind of late September rushed over the hills. It swooshed low over a valley, through a tiny village, and out the other end into a forest. A deep, deep forest. A forest of silence.
Or at least it was before. Today was different.
"Ugh!" Len Akuma spat furiously, his eyes blazing a rusty red color in the dim light of early morning. No one, no one, ever dared tell Len Akuma to work! No one! His eyes began to glow an ugly blood red color as he turned and suddenly thrust his fist into a tree, splintering the surface and sending a shower of splinters everywhere.
"I hate her!" He snarled angrily to himself. "Why can't she just go burst into flames or something? I HATE HER!" He tilted his head to the sky and let out his rage in a wild sound that sounded like the fury of warring lions. Then, with a frustrated sigh, he lowered his head to the sight ahead of him. Through the thick hedges and silent trees, he could see smoke coming from the valley. He smirked to himself.
"I'm not human. I don't need to clean up and work every day like them!" As if to reply to his remark, the first door of the day opened and a young boy rushed out to the stable next to his home. Tch. Stupid humans. They let time control them from the moment they are born to the day they die. He turned, his back to the scene of life below. I'll never be controlled by time!
An urge to run and let out the last burst of stress overcame Len, and with a sudden intake of breath, he swung around and shot through the trees. It felt good to have the damp grasses and ferns rush on his skin, cooling the bubbling hot anger inside of him. The tree branches whipped past him, ruffling his flaxen hair and tangling it thick with leaves as he raced through the undergrowth. Slowly, bit by bit, the murderous red glow faded from his eyes, replaced by a soft green color that mirrored the brilliant green around him. He inhaled deeply as he ran, the cool misty air of early morning rushing into his lungs. It tasted fresh, delicious.
"Haaah.." He inhaled again, closing his eyes and unconsciously slowing down as he breathed. "Wonderful.."
A sudden noise caused him to wince and his eyes snapped open. The call of a human, to another. How shrill...He thought disgustedly to himself as he rubbed his sensitive ears. Are they deaf or something? Without even realizing it, his feet carried him towards the noise. Towards the food...
"Don't let them run off!" From the edge of the forest, before the trees thinned out, he could see a woman calling out to a smaller human that walked among a herd of sheep. Sheep herder. But, as he looked closer, he realized the herder for today was...a girl. He smirked. Didn't the humans know any better to watch out for predators like him?
As he gazed, he could see the girl was a cute little blonde with eyes a shade of ocean teal. He smiled to himself and ran his tongue over his fangs before emerging from the trees. It was time for a morning snack.
Rins P.O.V.
"Rinny darling, I need you to watch the sheep, okay? Your brother is in the village for today."
"Yes mother." Rin Oshiro obediently walked out to the shed behind the small cottage that she and her parents lived in. She didn't bother to remind her mother that her older brother had been dead for over a year now. The event had been tragic-her brother had been herding sheep, just as she was about to now, when a lone lamb went into the forest. He had ran after it, but had never emerged from the unforgiving trees. They had found him late that night, his throat torn open and blood covering his clothes. When their mother heard the news, she fainted from the shock and when she woke up, had no memory of him dying. Father simply told her that he would wake before them all and go to the village, and return after they all fell asleep.
Rin bit her lip. She wished it to be true, but she knew deep down inside that her brother could never come back. No matter how many times her father would tell the lies, there was no way for her to lie to herself and believe he wasn't dead. She had been there to watch them bury him.
Hanging her head in remembrance, Rin murmured a few words of comfort to herself before looking for the small knife she was told to carry when herding, to protect herself. She found it and, gripping it purposefully by the hilt, slid it into the pocket on the front of her dull brown jumper before rushing out of the shed towards the waiting herd on the hill.
"Don't let them run off!" Mother called to her as she began to walk down the hill. Rin smiled. Sometimes I guess ignorance is bliss. Sometimes. Whistling a soft tune to herself, she followed the herd down towards the river, where it ran in between the hill and the forest. Her expression darkened at the sight of the woods that took her brothers' life, but she kept walking.
She sat on the hill, watching the sheep for what seemed like hours even though she knew it couldn't have been because the sun was barely rising. Bored, Rin picked at her worn out yellow shirt she wore under her jumper and gazed at the knife in her pocket. She hoped she never would have to use it.
"Ah..Can you help me?" Startled from her reverie, Rin jumped up from where she sat and whirled around to see the speaker. It was a boy, but he was not from the village. His hair fell messily to the nape of neck, tangled with leaves and twigs. Dirt was smudged all over his face, and he only wore a pair of dirty brown shorts. His face, however, looked so innocent Rin thought she would fall over and die. Past the layer of dirt she could see a nicely shaped face with angelic eyes the color of wet ferns framed by long blonde lashes.
"I..Um..Well.." She sputtered, feeling her face turn the color of a strawberry. "W-what sort of h-help?" The boy gazed at her intensly before smiling embarassedly and murmuring softly.
"I'm trying to find my way back home. I'm from the next village over, you see." He blushed. "I was chasing my dog and got lost." Oh! That blush is... Rin knew that by now she must be the shade of a tomato.
"W-well, where is your home?" The boy pointed towards the woods, where the trees stood coldly in the early light. Rin's eyes widened as she stared at the forest, before her eyes shot back to the boy.
"There? B-But..That place is dangerous!" She stared in amazement at the boy, who frowned in confusion.
"Dangerous? But I felt so safe when I was going through it!" Rin stared baffled at the boy. She somehow felt deep inside that she shouldn't believe the boy, but his eyes were so innocent and truthful... "Please? I might need help trying to find my way back." He stared deep into her eyes, pleading.
Rin didn't know what to say. Her whole life she had been told not to go in, but if it was safe then..one trip won't hurt. I'll be out before they notice there isn't anyone watching the herd. She smiled to the boy assuringly.
"Okay!" The boys face lit up happily and he smiled. Without another word, he took her hand and led her into the forest. Away from the sunlight. Away from safety.
Neko: Gah! Took me forever to write that all out. Funny thing was, I was listening to dark Vocaloid songs while typing it, like Pretty Panties Akuma Rin, Dream Meltic Halloween and Imitation Black _ Heh. Pretty panties. xD
Rin: I can't believe I actually sang a song about cosplaying Len in girl clothes ._.
Len: *still traumatized by story behavior* I'm going to EAT her? o_e
Rin: You're a vampire stupid. Vamps don't eat, they SUCK BLOOD! Haha!
Len: At least I'm not some stupid little farm girl!
*Kagamines start a catfight*
Neko: *sweatdrop* Read and review please..
