"I HATE YOU!"
"No…you don't really mean that…"
"I WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!"
"Do you really mean it…?"
"OF COURSE! LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT YOU! I WOULD BE SOME MUCH MORE HAPPIER!"
A nine-year-old Len stormed out of his room slamming the door behind him. Leaving his twin sister, Rin, alone in the room. The two had gotten into a fight, but this wasn't as childish as their previous ones. Len was tired of Rin's clinginess to him, and was tired of how overprotective she was with him. One day, he just lost it and screamed the world would be so much better without her.
Rin silently cried in the room, as Len's voice kept relaying in her head. All she wants is her brother to be safe and happy. She couldn't help it that she had a brother complex.
"….if I wasn't born…." Rin thought aloud. Her thoughts were broken as she heard a knocking on the door.
"Rin? Are you alright? We heard Len yelling, we asked him what's wrong but he just stormed outside." Luka asked as she opened the door. "Oh Rin…" Luka saw the tears falling from Rin's face. She gave Rin a hug and tried to comfort her, "There, there it's alright."
"Len…" Rin sobbed into Luka's shoulder.
"Rin, why don't you give Len some space for a while." Luka said, "Why don't you come with me and Miku, we're going shopping."
"I don't want to go… I'll be in my room…" Rin said as she wiped. Her face was all puffy and red from her crying. She stood up sulking, and slowly walked to her room.
RIN'S POV:
How long have I been sobbing in my room…2 hours? ...4 hours? Doesn't matter, I don't really care. For the past hours, the fight between me and Len was replaying in my head, over and over again. I can't get Len's words out of my head…
"Dinner!" I hear Meiko call from down stairs.
I have to get up and clean myself; I can't let anyone see me like this, especially Len. Len… I have to keep my distance from him, or he'll get mad at me.
"I WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!"
No, I can't think about that right now…but if only…
My digital clock on the side table shows that its 9:30 PM. I look at the long stand-up mirror, my hair and clothes are a mess, and don't even get me started on my face. Might as well get a new pair of clothes.
I pick out an orange tank top, with white shorts. Brush my hair and put some hair clips on, I think I'll leave the bow for now. Just got to wash my face, so it's not all red and puffy…
After washing my face, I go downstairs to eat dinner. Len is sitting beside Miku, Kaito and Meiko are sitting on the side ends of the table, while Luka is sitting across from Len. I take my seat beside Luka; usually I sit beside Len, but not tonight.
"Took you long enough, Rin!" Meiko said, "The food was getting cold."
"Sorry to keep you waiting…" I apologized, trying to avoid any eye contact with Len.
"Tch, why did we have to wait…?" Len muttered.
Dinner was quite awkward, everyone was so quite. Well except for Miku talking. Luka and Meiko just stared at me and Len, seeing that we didn't even say a single word to each other since dinner started.
After I was finished, I stood up quietly and walked to my room. The others were still not finished dinner.
"Well, I think I'll have some sake!" Meiko declared.
"Sake? At a time like this? Seriously?" Luka said.
I hear their chattering voices as I head up stairs. Maybe they are probably better off without me. They seem so much happier now that I'm gone. Maybe Len was right…
I change into my orange pajamas and stare outside the night. Lost in deep thought about Len. Then I look at my mirror and see my reflection. Why? Why do I have to look like him so much? It just brings the fact I can't love him.
That's when I saw it in my mirror.
A shooting star.
That's it I remember Luka saying something about making a wish on a shooting star. But what can I wish for?... Yes, I know! It's perfect, and it's what Len wants! It'll make him happy.
"I wish I was never born, never existed in anyone's life." I wish as I clasped m hands.
Nothing happened.
Heh, I knew it. It was just a stupid myth. I just want to go to sleep and forget this painful day…
LEN'S POV:
BRING! BRING!
Ugggh, morning. I got to wake up and get ready for school now. I have to beat Rin to the washroom before she takes up hours in it. I get up and drag myself to the bathroom. My hair is down and all tangled, I look like Rin with my hair down, so I tie it up so people won't mistaken us. Sometimes I wonder why I don't cut my hair…
"Morning!" I call out as I enter the kitchen.
"Good morning, Len. What will you have for breakfast?" Luka the only one bothering to greet me. The others look like they are half-awake. Well that's this family for you; nobody is a morning person here, well except for Luka. Rin especially hates waking up so early in the morning.
"I think I'll just have some cereal." I say, Luka grabs a box of my favourite cereal from the top cabinet and places it on the dining table.
I finish my cereal, when I realize Rin still isn't here for breakfast. Usually she would be here by now; it's almost time for school.
"Hey, should I go wake up Rin?" I ask the others, seeing that they never bothered to mention her this whole morning.
"Hmmm? Who's Rin?" Meiko asks. What kind of silly question is that? Is she drunk or something?
"His imaginary friend probably." Kaito says. My imaginary friend? This is getting weird…
"Len, aren't you a little old to have imaginary friends?" Miku says.
"Come on, he's still nine. But yeah, I never imagined you to have any imaginary friends Len; you are just not the type.
"No! Rin is not my imaginary friend; she's my sister, my twin. Do you all have some brain problem?" This joke is getting a little too far.
"Twin sister? Len you don't have a twin." Meiko says.
"What's up with you guys! Stop acting like Rin doesn't exist!" I yell as I get up and storm off upstairs. I'll go find Rin myself.
"Hey, Rin? Time to get up." I knock on her door. No reply. "Rin! Seriously get up!" Still no reply. That's it, I'm coming in.
I open the door to find no one. The room was empty. It wasn't brightly painted orange, just a dull white. There was nothing in here… except Rin's mirror. The room is completely empty, no bed, no nothing.
I'm getting a little scared now…
I run to my room to see the frame pictures on my table that should have Rin. She wasn't there, not in any one of them. It was just him by himself or him with the rest of the family.
"No this can't be true… this has to be some sick joke right?"
"Len, get ready I'm dropping you off at school." Luka knocks on the door.
"Alright!" this is it, if Rin is on the attendance list or people still know her, I can put an end to this bad prank.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Kagamine Len." The teacher calls out my name.
"Here!" Rin's name should be next.
"Kasane Teto." What? No it should be Rin!
"Umm, sensei?" I raise my hand, "You forgot to call out Rin's name."
"What are you talking about Kagamine-san? There is no Rin in this class." The teacher says. The whole class starts laughing.
I want to go home. I don't want to be here.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
School was miserable. Everybody acted like Rin didn't exist.
"Welcome back, Len!" Kaito greets me, "Want some ice cream?"
"No thanks…" I mumble as I head upstairs.
I walk towards Rin's room, hoping that she would be there. To put an end to this bad day.
"Rin?" I enter, but no one was there, just her mirror.
Wait… her mirror. Every single belonging and memory of Rin was gone, except her mirror.
"KAITO!" I call him.
"Yes?" He comes upstairs to Rin's room. "Why are you here? We were planning to rent this room."
"Kaito, whose mirror is that?" I point the big mirror.
"No one's, I guess, don't know why we have it. Do you want it or something?" Kaito says.
"Can I? Can you please carry it to my room?" I plead. I want to keep the last memory of Rin close to me.
"Fine…" Kaito walks up to the mirror and picks it up. I lead the way to my room.
"There." He places it to the wall beside my bed. "For a simple mirror, it sure is heavy. I'll be eating ice cream downstairs if you need me."
"Thanks." I say as he exits m room.
Alright time to get to the bottom of this. I check every inch of the mirror, for anything suspicious like a secret storage or a note, that hopefully says: Fooled you, Len!.
Nothing.
I sit down on the floor tired. I just stare at my reflection in deep thought, that's when I see it.
Rin!
She's on the other side of the mirror!
"Rin?" I call out to her. The reflection doesn't copy my mouth movements.
"Len, you can see me?" Rin's eyes widen. "No, this was not part of the wish!"
"Wish? Rin what are you talking about?" I demand.
"Maybe, if you smash the mirror, I can fully disappear from this world…" Rin muttered.
"Smash? What? Why would I do that? I don't want you to disappear! Rin what is going on?!" I start shaking the mirror.
"…I wished I never existed… on a shooting star. The wish worked half way." Rin's explanation made my eyes go wide.
"What! Why? Why on earth would you do that Rin?" I can't believe why she would make such a cruel wish.
"Because, for you… I wanted to make you happy." Rin looked down on the ground avoiding eye-contact.
"How is this making me happy?"
"Remember the fight? You wished that I was never born, and life would be so much better and happier without me…" Rin muttered looking up at me.
The fight…that's right! Our stupid fight! Rin took it too seriously, and now she's…
"Rin… you stupid girl…" I place my forehead on the mirror as tears slowly started to fall from my face.
"Len… you're not happy?" Rin looked at me and started to cry to, "Len please smile. Please be happy."
"Rin… why did you make that wish? How can I undo it?"
"I don't think you can… the only way I can exist in this world is by this mirror, smash it and I'm probably gone forever." Rin theorized.
"Then I will protect you and this mirror with all my life!" I declare, "I don't want you to leave Rin…"
A/N: Hey guys… thought I take a break from VOCA No Exorcist. I've been planning to this story for a long time. This will be a short one. Also I'm doing a hetalia fanfiction. My updates will slow down when school starts. VOCA No Exorcist will be my biggest fanfic, with 25 chapters, and two extra chapters for omake. My hetalia one will be only 10 chapters. This one will probably be a three-shot. Also I'm planning on doing another Vocaloid fanfiction soon. Rin X Len again (because I just have so many feelings for this pairing) and this time it will be noncest.
Read and Review!
