Title: Memories of You
Chapter 1: A leap from grace ?
Rin's POV
The chill air….
I dunno why but somehow…
It feels … deathly.
As I walked onwards, on this seemingly wooden floor, each step was answered by a creaking noise, but still I heard soft sobs.
I followed the sounds to where it came from. As I penetrated the darkness before me, the sobs grew louder. And louder.
Convincing voices whispered to my ears. Though, the language seems foreign, I could still sense some familiarity to it. My spine suddenly felt stiffen and my throat seems sore.
What's happening? … I asked myself as I shuddered in fear.
The voices kept on whispering but this time their voices became hoarseand horribly alarming. I ran.
I could feel my heart pounding like crazy in my chest. And so does the footsteps behind me. They broke into a run, determined in apprehending me.
My legs felt abruptly shaky but I still run like my life depended on it. Oh wait… it does.
I broke into a sprint, I shut my eyes shut and suddenly deafening silence dominated the place. My senses suddenly felt numb.
Then… a dim light caught my eyes.
Hesitating at first, I walked towards it, like a bug attracted to the fire. The sobs, once again, were heard.
A body was seen… a body of a small girl, hugging her knees as well as burying her face upon it. She was wearing a white light sundress with yellow sunflower prints. It hung charmingly down to her knees. The short sleeves revealed the delicate yet fragile skin of her arms.
I could see tears
What... w-what is this…?
Her tears…. It glows.
Somehow… her tears radiated the dim light.
The dim light…
No, it's getting dimmer and dimmer.
No…
I walked towards her uncertainly.
Somehow, by some unknown reason, I don't want her tears to be also engulfed by darkness.
But my feet felt planted to the ground. I can't move it any further so I did the only thing I can do this far, I reached to her. I reached out my hand to take her in my arms. I just need to stretch it out a little bit- only just a bit.
But suddenly a hand clasped over my eyes. Sudden panic yet overcame me.
Then another hand took a tight grip of my neck. I fought back but my struggle seems inept.
Dragging me away from the girl, through the gaps of the thing's fingers, I could still see the dim light. I felt somewhat… relived. Why?
Upon seeing the light that grew weaker, my emotions shifted into a different kind. It morphed into sheer confusion.
She stood up… the girl.
…and looked to my direction.
Her eyes were hidden and shadowed by her hair but I could see her-
I trembled as the wicked smile crept on the girl's lips. Then she said…
…"Let the darkness embrace you".
Subsequently, I felt a stabbing pain on the left lobe of my brain as the hot thick liquid trickled down to my neck.
I jerked my eyes open and held tight on my blanket.
Beads of sweat rolled down to the back of my head. I sat upright, not knowing what else is best to do. I could still hear my own breath. Was I panting?
I clenched the soft material infront of my chest. I could still feel my heart racing.
I gulped a bulk of fear but inspite of it, my whole body shook like there's no tomorrow.
T-that was seriously creepy…was all I could muster by this time.
My lips formed a weak smile as I said wearily, "But surely…. That doesn't mean anything, right?"
I breathed and exhaled the air through my mouth. Then finally, my whole body was at ease.
Just then have I only realized that it was already morning? An early morning-that is.
6:07 am. Yeah…. Too early.
I jumped out of my covers and mentally motivated myself into believing that this day has a lot to offer. Wouldn't want to miss it, right?
I got hold of my yellow towel and moved my way to the bathroom.
As I walked inside the bathroom and went pass the mirror near the sink, I saw a disturbing sight.
A girl with flaxen dishevelled hair, tired cerulean eyes and a smug look on her face was seen with her mouth slightly gaped. Her unruly, shoulder length hair hung dangerously to other directions. An orange tank top hanging loose on one of her shoulder, showing a bit of skin, was caught glimpse of. My eyes disgustingly followed the weird line pattern of the abomination's shirt as if it was a crumpled paper.
Ne, how revolting.
I face palmed…. Oh yeah…. Mirror.
How foolish of me to forget.
So, there you go, folks.
That yellow haired weirdo that just rose from bed is, unfortunately, me.
Rin Kagamine is my name.
14 years old.
A freshman student of Seika High School.
After a lot (and when I said "a lot", it actually means "A LOT") of minutes have passed, I finally finished taking a bath.
Well… what can I say? Time flies when you're in the bathroom.^^
And it's the opposite when you're in school.
Sometimes it feels surprisingly short but MOST of the time …. It could feel as if it could go on for like an eternity.
Let's say… just like now.
I'm seated on this arm chair next to the window. Mind if I add, the most AWESOME place one student can think ofwhen it comes to the arrangement of seats. Hehe. Normally, I'm a student who listens attentively to our teacher but right now… my mind's preoccupied with stuffs not related to our subject.
Grades of mine… I hope they won't suffer that much.
These past few days, it seems as though my mind's bothered by trivial things.
Like for example, my unnerving yet garbage dreams.
I pulled out my pencil out of my pocket (Yep, it's a major no-no for me to leave my pencil elsewhere but inside my pocket) and started to draw on the back pages of my notebook. Always the tone of surprise?
Well… I actually didn't have any formal lessonsregarding how to sketch or to draw. I only learned how to draw by myself. You see, I'm an otaku as well, though highly untolerated by my parents when they were still alive. Why? You ask- I dunno.
Buy hey! I did not waste the pages of my notebook just to be sidetracked into sharing such insignificant things but only to visualize what I saw in my dream.
A girl…around 6-8 years of age.
While dictating it in my mind, I moved my hand effortlessly as the drawing take form.
She was hugging her knees and she seems frightened too, sobbing actually.
Heh, funny, I remembered how I used to do that-
Holy crap. A pang of realization enlightened my, once, fuzzy mind.
You got to be kidding me…
Short blonde hair, shoulder length by the way.
A white sundress made of light material.
And how can I forget the bright yellow sunflower prints.
And also… I could swear that I saw a white bow being clutched by her petite hands.
My whole body tensed as I laid eyes on the finished product. I could feel all my blood draining my face. Suddenly, I feel light-headed.
S-she... she's m-me…
"Oii! Rin-chan!", A hand wavered infront of my face.
I suddenly snapped out of my reverie and prepared my most disdained glare to take on target at the offender. Apparently, it was Kaiko Shion.
"Oii! Riiiiiin-chan! You're pale like you've seen a specter or something…eep! Why are you glaring at me like that?" Kaiko said as she raised her hands defensively.
I let out a sigh.
"Nothing… don't mind me at all." Flatly, I said.
Then Shion-chan suddenly sat next to me and started sermoning about how true friends should open up to each other and how they should trust each other . Blah…Blah…Blah.
I just stared at her in amusement. I mean… I am just amazed by the mere fact that when this girl started talking, already bear in mind that there's no stoping her. But don't worry; she's only like that when she's talking to me.
Kaiko Shion is of the same age as I am. She is what people sould describe as an "introvert". Well… On our first day at school, she was seated at the very front row near the teacher's table. She was very silent but you could see that she listens attentively to the teacher discussing. Intrigued by what I observed, despite what our other classmates think of her, I befriended her. We always get along very well may be because we're not so different from each other.
Well… that's just half of it. Another half is that I am dazed by her kind smile. And with those deep royal blue eyes that sparkles when she smiles. Oh! And her short hair is of the same shade of blue as of with her eyes. Each strand flows elegantly to the side of her fair-complexioned face.
Wait… where did the teacher go? Cutting out my short introductory speech of who is Kaiko Shion, I suddenly asked myself.
Seeing my expression, Kaiko, as if reading my emotion, said with a genuine smile in her face, "It's already lunchtime."
Whaaat? Oh well. XD
Spacing out a bit, I sighed unconsciously.
What's going on with me? Why do I feel so distant?
So withdrawn?
My eyes trailed off to look outside the window. Buried in deep thought, I suddenly blinked twice.
A silver-haired guy with blue-ing green mysterious eyes caught my attention whoch awkwardly put me out of my sulking.
I couldn't fanthom why but…
… Somehow, just seeing such sight…
… Made my heart skip a beat.
"Rin….
Rin…. 'in …."
"RINNY-CHAN!", startled by such volume, my senses were bolted back to reality.
I pulled myself together and forced myself to look composed but, for some unknown reason, I failed.
Accepting my defeat, I faced her, "Y-yes?"
Wow… way to go! You stuttered!
"Uggh! I was calling your name out for the last 5 minutes… Are you alright? " A concerned look was seen on Shion-chan's face.
"Yep. Nothing's wrong" I said unmistakably.
"Ohh…kay.. So the bell already rang. Kaito and I will have to run an errand for mom. I guess I'll see you tommorow." She said cheerfully. Her short blue silk-like hair swayed to her every move. By the time she finished talking, she's already beside the door-waving.
Grinning to myself, I waved back. "Well… See you tomorrow then."
Goodness! Isn't she in a rush? …
Oh well… I guess I'll just have to eat my lunch alone.
Nahh… that's fine. I'm used to it. Smiling a bit, I took my yellow backpack and focused myself into finding a place to eat my lunch. I trailed along the peaceful hallways of our school.
I looked around, wondering…
BANG!
Ahh… suddenly, an excruciating pain enveloped my head.
Am I already in Hell?
…
Kaiko's POV
Slowly, I walked outside our homeroom, letting out a sigh.
So, first thing's first…. I need to find Kaito, my older brother.
The only problem is… Where am I going to find him?
Walking along the beige marbled hallway, I wondered off like a child lost in a mall.
I stride up to the stairs and went down multiple times.
I went to the library only to regret walking in there.
It's not only that Kaito is not there … but also I saw the redhead that bugs me to no end.
Akaito… I heaved a sigh. I need to get out of here. And fast!
My feet immediately scampered out of the library's front door. I was ready to break into a run when a hand got hold of my shoulder.
I froze… like an ice sculpture, new made.
I shut my eyes close and prayed to God Almighty that he's not this guy.
While turning my head tentatively, I keep chanting to myself.
Please… don't be Akaito-kun…
Please, let it be anyone, not just Akaito-kun!
Over and over in my head.
….
"Kaiko-chan…?"
Huh?... it doesn't sound like Akaito-kun to me... I peeked a little bit and saw Luki-kun instead.
I remembered that we used to have 3 same classes. A sudden relief overwhelmed me. Thank you God!
"Ehh? … I can't really read your mind, you know…" Luki said uncertainly.
I blinked my eyes for like a gazillion-th time. "Erm.. Ano... " He raised a brow showing the puzzlement in his sapphire crystal-like eyes. I gulped in embarrassment.
"N-nevermind! "
"Okayy… so what are you doing here?" he suddenly asked.
Hoping that he didn't saw my sudden change of demeanor, I answered,
"Uhm… I'm just looking for Kaito. But sadly, I can't find him."
"Did you already try looking for him in one of his classes?"
"…"
Truth be told… I don't even know where his classes were held.
How strange, I never really thought that it would be necessary to know. Gaaah! I'm so hopeless.
What kind of a sister are you?
Sighing, he broke the silence,"You're doing it again… Oh well.. Did you already eat you're lunch?"
"uhm.. nope"
"So… do you want to go to the cafeteria? Don't worry I'll treat you" smiling, he said.
"Nahh…I'm just looking for Kaito then we will head home. And I'm not really that hungry yet."
GROOOOOOWWWLLL.
Wide eyed in humiliation, I clasped my both my hands on my stomach, I dunno maybe to lessen the sound? …
"…"
"…" Smirking, Luki-kun just grabbed my hand.
And with that, we headed to the cafeteria.
…
