Hi. Thank you for reading. The first few chapters have minimal speech, but I promise there will be more talking latteerrr. Enjoy...? =D
Chapter 1
Kaito looked out from the cliff side, letting his eyes drink in the beautiful sunset. Despite being a man and normally only indulging himself in manly business, he did not see why he was not allowed to enjoy the view of the reddening sky as the sun dipped below the ocean's edge, and the clouds strewn across the horizon.
"Shion." Kaito turned around. General Kagamine Len stood behind him, arms crossed, not bothering to even glance properly him, not like that was anything new. "You're wasting your time daydreaming again." The way he stressed out "daydreaming" was the way some would stress out what they felt about eating rats.
"Sorry, sir," Kaito answered with as little respect as he could muster, and bowed to his senior. Len grabbed Kaito's hair and pulled it down to his face and looked him in the eyes. His brow wrinkled, and his eyes were blazing. Kaito nearly yelped but was able to keep his normal, composed face; a face he had learnt to quickly master ever since he joined the Scarlet Tiger.
"Listen up. Our division is travelling to the abandoned town to investigate the massacre. We are not to waste any time, as we have close to none of it. Got it? As a member of Scarlet Tiger, you have signed yourself into making sure justice prevails in our world, and I, as the leader of this division, won't be letting you forget that." Len let go of Kaito's hair and tapped the katana that was strapped to the side of his armour. With a swift movement, he had turned around and was starting to walk off the cliff. Kaito nodded, bowed once again and followed him off the mountain side.
The rest of the division had already set up camp, and most of them were getting ready to lie down and sleep. General Kagamine had excused himself to his tent and had left the rest of them to satisfy their own "social needs", as he called them.
The six of them – the rest of the division – sat quietly around the burning fire, looking at each other wearily from across the flames.
"We've been travelling for DAYS! I can't believe that-" Miku exclaimed and suddenly stopped to lower her voice, "Len is making us go so far. Geez, what a jerk."
"Miku, try to understand his situation. He has a lot on his shoulders, and he would obviously rather to get the job over and done with. Besides, it's good pay," Luka answered, brushing off some dirt of her yukata. Miku pouted for a moment and said nothing.
"Oi, Gakupo, pass over the water will 'ya." Gakupo responded to Rin's joking command by throwing the water bag at her over the fire, some of the water dripping out and slightly dousing the flames.
"Watch it, Gakupo. It'll take ages to make another fire," Gumi retorted, staring intently into the flames, not bothering to look anyone and sighed. Kaito saw no point in staying up late to engage in useless conversation, so he stood up and stretched.
"You going to bed Kai?" Gakupo asked, looking up at him.
"Yeah, no point in staying up. We've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
"Already, Kai-kun?" Miku whined, looking up at him.
"Yeah. 'Night guys."
Kaito couldn't sleep that night, not like that was anything new with the job he was doing. He looked up at the roof of his small tent and watched as rain drops slowly started to patter down.. How bothersome. He closed his eyes and let the sound of rain drops fill his ears. It sounded so gentle and familiar, like the soothing voice of a lover. Kaito smiled to himself. What was he talking about; he never loved anyone, let alone had a lover. He had dedicated his life to bringing justice to the world, like Len had said, so he didn't have time to waste on such puny matters. He felt his eyelids growing heavy, and let the sound of rain lull him into tranquil sleep.
The rain continued to gently fall to the ground. Little did Kaito know that that night would be the last night he would ever sleep so peacefully again.
