title: Heinous
summary: Remember, Rin. Don't let anyone find out that you're not human, because they'll kill you for it. / Fitting in at a new school is difficult, especially if you're some sort of test tube baby with metal limbs and brother cyborgs/stalkers after your head.
pairing(s): Luka/Gakupo, Mikuo/Hagane, Gumi/Gumiya, and others that would give the story away. ;)
warnings/rating: T (swearing and violence in further chapters.)
The house is modest; small and narrow with two floors and a four windows facing the front. The outer walls are painted with chipping white paint, the inside is covered with a pale blue wallpaper that keeps more than the heat in. The red-and-white curtains are drawn, but that's not too unusual at this time of day.
Two people live there; a middle-aged woman with short brown hair and her daughter. No one knows much about the girl except that she seems to be sick - yes, that's probably the reason why her mother never brought her out to play.
"Who are you?"
Pale hands clasp together.
"Rin Kagamine, fourteen years old. I moved here a while ago, from Canada. I speak Japanese and English. I lost my father when I was young, and cannot remember him. I live with my mother, Meiko, as an only child."
"Tell us a little about yourself."
"I like to listen to music. I like classical music. My mother's a pianist, and I learned a little from her, though not much. My favorite color is yellow, or orange. My favorite kind of weather is bright and sunny, and my favorite season is summer."
"Good, Rin. Anything else?"
"I've never been to a school before. I was home-schooled in Canada. Please help me get used to school."
"What do you say, now?"
"Thank you."
The girl bows, a flash of sunlight-bright blonde hair.
"Good, Rin."
Hesitation.
"Rin, are you sure - "
"Mommy, please."
A sigh.
"Rin. Be careful."
"I'll be careful."
"Remember, Rin."
"Mom..."
"Don't let anyone find out you're not human, because they'll kill you for it."
It's the girl who hesitates this time.
"I won't, mom."
