Gemini...
'' oh dear. You're sick Rin, tsk... you should take the medicine and have a rest '', said Rin's mom as she helped her daughter to lie down.
'' yes mom... '', that's the only answer that Rin gave.
Then, Len came, '' mom I'm here! And Rin, look I brought you some oranges '', he said as he walked to his twin sister and starts to peel it.
,'' uhm... anyway, have you ever heard about the woods near our house? '', asked Len.
'' not yet, why? ''.
Len just curved his mouth, and continues peeling the oranges.
+..Even if we're torn apart, Know you'll still be in my heart...+
In the afternoon, Rin woke up. She saw Len and he smiled at her. She smiled back, and thought about the woods that Len told her, '' Onii-chan, can we walk to the woods? I want to see it with my own eyes, please? ".
Len gave a wondering yet worried look, " are you sure? It's a little cold outside, and you just came from the sickness… ".
" Oh! I'm fine now! Really nii-chan! I'm a tough girl! Please, take me there, I want to have a view of the wood you told me. ".
Len knew that Rin is not yet fully out of sickness, but since he told his self he'll always make her happy, he couldn't resist to fulfil Rin's wish despite the risks.
'' okay, but make sure to go back here before sunset, and don't ever go farther from our house, it might be too dangerous outside '', replied the twin's mom.
Outside, across the small bridge was the woods. Rin could see from their place the big old trees with long branches. " Do you think it will be safe to cross it? ".
Realizing what Rin have said, Len turned his head, and met her gaze. He wanted to tell his twin sis that they'll only have a look, but Rin already moved her feet and went inside the unexplored woods.
Len felt the worry as he followed.
+..Close your eyes and feel your heartbeat harmonize with mine..+
As the twins continue their journey, Len sense something, he said, '' I think we should go back now... I think it would be dangerous if we still continue... ''.
But, '' come one Onii-chan, maybe you're just tired of walking too much that you want to take a rest now... '', said Rin.
'' but sister, we don't know, we're not sure what's outside or even inside this unfamiliar forest... '', said Len in a worried tone.
But Rin just shut her mouth, and ignores him,
'' Rin please... listen to me... '',
That all of a sudden, Rin ran.
'' w-wait Rin! I am telling you the truth it's too dangerous here! ''.
Len tried to stop Rin but she just continued running. so Len followed her, panicky. Until they reached the end of the passage, caused them to fall, until they stopped near the fence.
'' aw... Rin why did you do it?! '', Len can no longer hid his worries which he didn't notice he led his anger out.
Rin started to cry.
As a twin brother, Len just held out a sigh, and apologized, '' tch... anyway, Arguing is not a good thing to do now... we should search for our way home '', said Len as he comforts Rin. They searched for any injuries, bruises, or scars but thank goodness they only found scratches.
'' w-what is that? '', Rin pointed out a weird house, inside the fence.
'' It is ... made of candy... isn't it? '', said Len.
'' That looks delicious! ''.
Without hesitation, Rin came near and starts to pick some candies.
'' Rin! Will you please stop pushing yourself too much and start controlling it? Those candies can be poisonous! We even don't know if those were real candies! '', Len tried to stop her.
'' But it is really made of sweet and delicious candies '', and she put a small bar of chocolate inside Len's mouth.
That later on, an old woman, wearing a pink long dress with red apron full of sprinkles and glitters, came.
Len and Rin felt frightened.
'' Oh poor child! What happened to the both of you? Did you hurt yourselves? Tsk... You should go inside my house and let us take good care of them... it might become worst if you didn't cure it as soon as possible '', said the strange old woman.
'' onii-chan... I'm scared... ''.
'' Don't be afraid, Rin, I'll protect you... '', Len whispered, "Uhm, sorry to bother you Madam, but we're about to go, thank you for the offer anyway. "
Len held his twin sis' hand, and they were about to step back, but the old woman stop them, "please, allow me to take care of your bruises, you poor children… ".
She continued, "I'll give you more desserts, I have more inside… ", and led out a smile.
+..Turning around, there's only strangers passing by...+
'' Here, please take a seat... ''.
'' uhm, madam, can I ask you something..? '', asked Len.
'' Yes, what is it..? ''.
'' Why do you live inside a strange forest with such a wonderful candy-house...? ''.
'' Hahaha Good question my dear! Well, my house is for all the people who lost inside the forest... as you can see; it really can attract individuals, right? I help them recover and find their way... ''.
Len tried to understand what the old woman wish to say. He thought that maybe the old lady just wanted to help people.
Still…
*ting!* '' oh! The food is here! ".
The old lady opened a small door of an oven, pulled the tray and placed on top of the table. '' haha! Children's favourite: cakes and desserts! '', said the old woman.
'' Ooh! Sweet! Thanks ma'am! '', Rin felt so much gladness as she saw many candies, cakes and many more.
Len finally felt suspicious, '' madam, May I ask? Do you also serve fish or meat...? ''.
'' Why of course, I do serve as such '', replied the old woman.
'' Then, why did you serve us sweets than the meat ones...? '', Len curled his mouth as a sign of being polite.
'' well, it depends, when I found meat and fishes, of course, I'll serve it... as of now, I'm still looking for some... ''.
'' But that's impossible, there are many animals inside the forest... but she didn't see at least one... '', Len whispered.
'' You know kid, you're pretty smart so you have to eat many and get your energy back '', said the old woman.
'' Here Len, take this, it's your favourite '', Rin gave a banana split to her twin brother.
'' Nice! Thanks Rin! '', it was a nice timing. Len felt strange, he didn't know what to say anymore.
'' I have mine too, orange juice! ''.
And the twins continued eating until they felt full.
'' Aw, I bet that both of you are really tired, so why don't you go upstairs and take a rest '', asked the old woman, and she escorts the twins to a room.
'' *yawn* nice room, thanks again ma'am '', said Rin then she lied on the bed, unil she felt asleep.
'' What about you boy...? '', asked the old woman.
'' Oh, don't worry, I'll just go take a seat on the couch and maybe later, I'll sleep.. '', said Len.
'' Oh, I see... Have a nice nap time kids... '', and the old woman finally left.
'' It's true that her house is really attractive, but what does she mean that she's still looking for some...? Supposedly, animals can also be attracted by the house... '', he gazed at Rin.
Until, Len realized, '' wait! What if the meat that she was talking about is actually us? She said that she's still looking for some... she insisted when I told her we're fine… Now, she asked us to take a rest… because she will… cook us? ''.
Len heard the old woman's voiced, '' hahahaha! Those kids are truly nutritious! I better cook the girl first because she's a scaredy-cat! Hahaha! ''.
Len got frightened and panicked, '' Rin! Wake up! ''.
'' Eh? Onii-chan? Why are you awaking me...? '', Rin wondered.
'' We need to escape as soon as possible, because we will be kill by that witch! ''.
Rin felt the same as her twin brother. So the twins opened the door that they realized it was a bit too late, '' hi there kids, why so hurry? '', the witch was already outside the door.
Len bravely pushed the witch, pulled Rin and went downstairs.
'' We have to be hurry! ''.
But the witch has powers, so she jailed the twins into a small cage.
'' Oh no! How dare you to hurt us? '', Len screamed.
'' I'm scared onii-chan! '', Rin panicked.
'' Such a twit... '', and the old woman brought the two in her kitchen, where the twins saw some chopped human body parts.
'' hahaha! As you can see, those small human bodies were from kids... like you! ''.
'' Why are you doing this cruel things? '', Len asked, angrily.
'' Duh! Because I'm a witch and I really love kids, hahahaha! ''.
Len tried to think of something, but the witch opened the cage and tries to get Rin.
'' HELP ME! '', Rin screamed, Len tried to grab Rin back but the witch was too strong.
'' NO! '', Len shouted.
'' You're such a beautiful angel, but I'll just take those! Hahahaha! '', the witch tried to push Rin in her large oven with a large fire inside, but Rin is trying to stop the witch from pushing her.
Finally, Len broke the lock of the cage, '' RIN HOLD MY HAND! '', and he pushed, bravely and surprisingly, the witch inside the oven.
'' NOOOO! '', the witch screamed, '' I'LL REALLY KILL YOU TWO! ''.
So the twins tried to run and go outside, but... Len has been grabbed by the large, burning hand of the witch.
'' LEN! '', Rin panicked, and tried to hold her twin brother.
'' ONLY ONE KID IS ALLOWED TO GO OUTSIDE! '', the witch became stronger.
Then, Rin saw a bucket of water, so she gets it and throws it to the witch's hand. The witch became weak, and let Len go, '' YOU KIDS ARE REALLY PAIN IN THE NECK! ''.
'' Let's go! '', and the twins ran away…
Finally, they reached their house.
'' Mom we're back! '', Rin called. But there is no answer.
Suddenly, Len picked an orange and gave it to Rin, then said, '' Rin, please... wake up... ''.
+..Listen up and hear my voice is calling out to you..+
Rin woke up on her bed, gasping.
'' Rin, you finally woke up '', said Len, and hugged his twin sister.
'' w-what happened? '', Rin got confused, then she noticed the worry in her twin brother's face,
'' Oh Rin, we're really worried about you... '', her mom came, and hugged her too, "you're having a nightmare… because of your high fever… ", Rin also saw the worry on her mother's expression. She noticed that she is almost crying.
'' Mom, I missed you so much! '', said Rin, tears starts to fall.
'' Rin... here I brought you some oranges... '', and Len held a basket.
Whether it was really a dream or not, Rin felt the happiness that they both survived, and now that Len is still and will always be there for her. Without him, she could already be a meal to a witch's stomach…
Rin, once more, hugged her twin brother.
'' I see, your energy is finally going back ''.
'' Len... You're my other half of Gemini '', and Rin continued hugging Len.
