So, this is the recreation of Crazy Days. So yeah, for everyone who love this story, and for everyone who was confused during the first few chapters, this is for you. And for all those who haven't read it yet, this is also for you. I hope you guys don't mind me rewriting it, even when I decided to reopen it. I reread the first few chapters, and it was really… terrible, so yeah, happy trails, yadda yadda, I'm rewriting it. Just know, since I didn't like how the first chapter started off, I'll be rewriting that part completely, I hope you guys don't mind.
I don't own anything besides the plot, but I'm sure you guys know that by now.
Chapter One: Introductions
~~~Rinto's P.O.V~~~
I groaned, listening as to some bad rapping blast from my phone, the same phone that's hooked up to my speaker so when my alarm rang, I'd hear it. I groggily sit up, glaring at my phone. Obviously, one some sister of mine thought it would be funny to break into my phone, and set it into a song I hate with a burning, hell bound, STD-filled passion.
This basically has Lily written all over it. If it had been Rin, it probably would have been some fandom shit.
After all but ripping my phone off the USB cord and charger, I barge out of my room while turning off the music, walking three doors down-passing the bathroom, Rin's room, and the TV/game room-and stopped right in front of that she-devil's room, banging on the door.
"Lily!" I yelled, but then I quieted down, realizing if I got up when the alarm came on, my parents were still here, and in fucking hearing distance. "Lily, get your ass out here, so I can beat you to a bloody pulp."
"Oh," she said. I hear the fabric of her bed more, and I'm guessing she's just getting out of bed too. "Good morning to you too, my lovely little brother. I hope you slept well."
"My sleep was fine, you little shit, it was my waking up that's the fucking problem." I said quickly, scrapping my nails against the wood of her door. I'm going to claw your goddamn eyes out.
"I can tell!" she laughed. I heard lots of movement; I guess she's getting ready for school. "You do seem a little upset about something. But I do hope you don't plan on taking it out me."
"Oh, no, we are in the shit now, we are motherfuckin' entrenched in this bitch. You are about to face my rage. Get out here, right now."
"Are you going to hurt me?" she sang, walking to the door, teasing me by knocking on the door with her fingers.
"Damn straight I'm going to hurt you, do you know what the hell you did to my morning-I could burn down a house right now-"
"Daddy!" she yelled, causing me to jump as I heard his voice answer her from the kitchen downstairs. "Rinto says he's trying to hurt me!"
"Rinto!" I hear dad's voice, and I answered him. "Come down the stairs! We don't need these problems so early in the morning!"
"But dad-!"
"Butts are for sitting, Rinto." Lily laughed sinisterly from the other side of the door, making me glare at the object interfering with my hate beating. "Go downstairs, listen to our father. Be a good boy, you puppy."
"You fu-!"
"Rinto! Language!" mom yelled from the bottom of the stairs. "And you father called you! Come when you are called!" I hiss at the door as I backed away slowly, sending hate glares at the door, but knowing she couldn't feel it.
As I walked the stairs, I complained to my mom. "What about my showering?" I asked as I passed her. She shrugged, suggesting I used the shower downstairs, and going back upstairs once I was done. "And walk around in my glory like a little kid?"
"Don't get smart with me, you little shit. I'm only doing this because no one wants to hear you and Lily screaming at each other so early in the morning. It's like, only six fifteen. I haven't had my coffee this morning even!"
"But mom! She broke into my phone and-"
"I know; played that god awful music. But you guys are supposed to do that. It's like, natural, or something. I'm not saying you shouldn't get her back, I'm saying you shouldn't do it while I'm here, and haven't had my coffee, now suck it up, and get ready for school. Your dad's cooking breakfast." She walked to the kitchen, leaving me at the foot of the stairs.
"Thank God." I said, heading to the stair to go get my clothes and junk, getting ready to shower downstairs, only looking up the stairs for a moment before ascending, wondering if anyone woke up Rin.
~~~Rin's P.O.V~~~
I ruffled my short, blond hair as I rolled on my bed again. I glared at the ceiling; curse me for going to sleep early, and waking up at almost five in the morning. I finally sat up in bed after Rinto was called by mom downstairs. No way was I going to get in the middle of that fiasco between Rinto and Lily-not to mention Rinto and mom.
I jumped out of bed, stretching, standing on my tippy toes as if that would intensify the stretch and make me super energetic. I looked around for my school uniform-a navy blue coat, a light yellow sweater vest, a ruby red ribbon, and a dark navy skirt- and headed outside my room with a nice, fluffy orange towel and clothes in hand, going to the bathroom.
I turned on the water, undress, and look at myself in the mirror. I blond hair just touches my shoulder, sometimes giving me a problem in the summer considering it keeps touching the back of my neck, but alas, and my bright sky blues look back at me. I examine my healthy, acne-free face before smiling my rosy, pouty lips, making a few faces, afterwards turning to look at the steamy shower water.
I place my hand in the shower, deeming the water warm enough for me to climb in. Before that, though, I put my hair in a high ponytail, hoping to only get a few droplets of water in it. Once I'm completely in the shower, I sighed contently, rubbing the soothing water on my skin. A delightful shiver runs up and down my spine when I turned away and let the water cascade down my back. I grabbed my orange face towel, wet it, and poured some vanilla and honey scented body wash on it before washing myself. Since I never really took long showers, I got out after maybe three minutes tops. After drying myself off, and getting dressed, I groomed myself, making sure my hair curled the right way-inwards- though I knew it would curl outwards but the time we got to school; my hair's just too disobedient. I styled it with four white pins, and my signature white bow. I grabbed a few more pins, knowing that Rinto would want some to keep his long, blond bangs out of his eyes.
I skip to my room, seeing Lily walk out of her room with her eyes closed, fully dressed in her uniform, sassy, female teenager essence pouring off of her, actually hitting me in the face. She flicked her waist length, blond hair over her shoulder before looking at me, her eyes a darker shade of blue than mine. "Oh, morning, Rin, how's life?"
"Morning, sis." I called, walking behind her as she headed towards the stairs. "Life's been pretty redundant, but good. How was your morning?" as if I even had to ask. She smirked darkly, an evil chuckle leaving her lips as she sees Rinto walking out the bathroom, wearing a uniform that looked exactly like Lily's and mine, only with a pair of pants a little darker than our skirts.
"My morning was pretty swell. Best morning I had in a while." I sweat dropped, tilting my head a bit, laughing nervously as we made it to the stairs, and headed to the kitchen. "Good morning all." Lily sang, walking around the table sitting next to mom, right in front of Rinto to spite him. I walk behind him, talking the seat next to him, handing him the pins.
"Here ya' go." I say as he holds his hand out, still glaring at Lily by the way, and lets the pins fall into his palm before fixing up his bang. Even though he keeps the back nice and super short, he keeps his bang as long as mine. He said something about using it to impress Lenka, his girlfriend, but I'm sure he just loves whipping it around when he thinks no one's looking.
"Thanks." He curtly nods, looking at me for a moment, before looking back over at Lily, who's already started eating her breakfast and toast.
"Oh yeah," Lily says, recognition suddenly exploding on her face, and she looks over at mom and dad excitedly. "Happy anniversary, you two." Mom and dad looks at her shocked, but nonetheless, thanks her and smiles. Rinto and I raised our eyebrows, hurryingly looking at our phones at the date, and, low and behold, it's November sixteenth, the day my mom and dad-Lola and Leon Kagamine- decided to tie the knot and get hitched.
"Happy anniversary!" Rinto and I yelled in a panic. We knew it was coming, but cheese and rice, we didn't realize it was this close. We prepared a lot of stuff for their send off to the three-day cruise they were taking to celebrate. Lily had prepared a speech, with her being third in her junior class, and the vice president of the student council, she was the only one of us who had her way with words. Rinto, who won many cook-off in his two years of high school, and had cooking trophies throughout the school, had a well-prepared, delicious cake waiting for us, and I, who was the most artistically talented between all of us, had drawn, and painted, a beautifully drawn picture of them at their wedding.
"Thanks, you guys, for remembering." Dad said, turning around smiling, placing some bacon on the table, watching as Rinto quickly reached to grab some. "Rinto, please, use your table manners." He sighed, too late apparently, because Rinto grabbed like six of those suckers, and stuffed three into his mouth.
We finished eating, and hurriedly got our bags for school, and headed out. It was pretty quiet for the three of us, considering when the three of us are together, it's usually a screaming match between us. The only sound coming from any of us is Lily's foot kicking that abandoned can. I smile as we pass the houses, even though the school was about thirty minutes away, it's really nice walking with the two of them. It'll just be me in about two years, with me just being a freshman, and Rinto a sophomore; they'll be out of here before I would, but it's always been like that.
"Hey Rin, did you finish that picture for mom and dad yet?" Lily asked, bringing me out of my thoughts, kicking the can a bit harder than she should have, and having it land a few ways a head of us. I lift my head, narrowing my eyes in thought, making a little 'hm' sound.
"Um, not quite yet." I say, shaking my head, thinking of all the final details I have to put in. Well yeah, to the untrained eye, I'm sure it looks okay, but to me, a perfectionist when it comes to her artwork, it has to be nothing but the best. "I may have to work on it before or after school to touch up on some final details." I looked over at Rinto, who was currently staring off into space. "Rinto, you finished the cake yet?"
"Well, of course." He said, smugly shrugging his shoulders while Lily and I gave him a blank face. Man, am I tired of the whole 'I'm-so-much-more-superior-than-thou' act. "I mean, how could you expect me, Rinto the middle-therefore, the greatest- child to look unprepared at a time like this. Of course I finished it! Quite early, but being the genius I am, I finished it quite recently so it still taste fresh. You two low lives have nothing in comparison with me!"
"Geez, talk about a superiority complex. Like geezus, shut up; we get it, you love yourself. Damn." Lily said, scratching her head, almost passing the kicking can before giving it a nice, sharp, soccer ball kick. "and not to make you feel bad or anything, but I finished my speech weeks ago. It shouldn't take you long to finish a goddamn cake anyways." He glared at her.
Oh my glob, here they go again. As they started to argue, I took the time to examine my surrounds. The colors of the houses were a nice, neutral like coloring, blending in nicely with the yellow, red, and brown falling leaves. I follow a falling leaf as it lands gracefully on a bush…
The same bush that decided to rustle.
I raise an eyebrow as I stop for a few seconds, before taking a step towards the bush hesitantly. Lily, who had a bored look on her face from Rinto's constant ranting, looked over at me with an eyebrow raised, stopping three or four steps in front of me. "Rinny? What's the matter?"
"-And, finally, you can take your oh-so-wonderful speech, and shove it-" Rinto ranted, only to be cut off by Lily, making a long 's' sound like a snake. "Are you hissing at me-" she continued louder, making me take my eyes off the still bush.
"-Shut the fuck up. Damn." She said, finishing as she placed a finger on Rinto's closed lips. She looked back over at me. "Rin, what's wrong?"
"I saw this bush move…" I said cautiously, stopping as Rinto and Lily walked closer to said bush. The bush moved more as the three of us looked closer.
"You know," Rinto started, "this is how people die in scary movies-" Rinto said, getting cut off when a figure, with a pedo bear full mask head thingy, jumped out the bush and we screamed. "Holy motherfuck-"
Lily pulled me back while Rinto got in defensive mode, pulling his fist to up to his chest, and parting his feet so he had balance, just in case the thing that jumped out was hostile. Suddenly, the figure shook, and an evil laugh fell from its face. The figure puts its hands on its hips, and I now noticed the person was wearing the female student uniform. The person puts her-then again, it could also be a boy, but let's just call it a girl- hands on her hip, and continues to laugh before reaching for the head, and pulling it up. Teal hair falls out, and the face of Miku Hatsune it revealed.
The three of us sigh in relief, and Rinto starts to yell. "Miku, what the hell type of fetishes do you have that you keep that!" Miku wipes a tear away from her eye, putting the head in the bush, and stepping out to walk with us, resting her arm on Rinto's shoulder.
"Oh gosh, you should have seen your faces!" she continued to laugh. Now entering, Miku Hatsune, sophomore, sixteen-which is a year older than me-and friends with Rinto and I, but more so me than Rinto. She has this weird love of creeping people out, example, this right here. You can see in her more blue-than-green teal eyes that she gets so much enjoyment from the act. "It was all scared and stuff- like 'ah!'" she said, continuing to laugh, leaning on Rinto as he rolled his eyes.
"Well, Miku, I'm sure you'd be scared if you saw the devil's face so early in the morning, and by surprise like that, too." He sampled, wrapping his arm around her waist as a smirk came unto his face.
"Oh ho, this is gonna be good." Lily said, crossing her arms with an amused look on her face, holding me back as I try to get in between them. "No, no, Rin, this is how they bond. Let them be."
And Miku countered his smirk with a dark smile of her own, slipping her arm around his neck like they were old chums. "Oh, what happened? Did you scrape your knees when you ascended from Hell, oh evil Satan?"
"No, but I'm sure it hurt when you fell from Heaven. 'Cause it looks like you really donked up your face on the way down."
"Obviously, you were the one who fell, because you banged your face against some mountains much harder if it continues to look like that every day." Must be a really bad time to mention Rinto and me look alike then…
"Oh, I banged a few things on my way down, and they weren't mountains. Ask your mother if you need reassurance-eck!" he yelled, getting elbowed in the gut by Miku. He bent forward and wrapped his arms around his abdomen as Miku stepped away from him.
"Jerk." Miku mumbled, rolling her eyes at Rinto before looking over at me, smiling brightly as she hopped over to hug me. "Hey Rinny~" she sang, and I flinched at the nickname, but smiled nonetheless, wrapping my arms around her as she intended to break my back. I squealed out a quick hey as she let me go and headed to Lily. "Hey Lily!" she yelled, only to get interrupted when Lily held her hand out.
"As much as I love ya, kid, I'd rather not have a near death experience so early this morning." Lily explained as Miku pouted, folding her arms and looking off to the side.
"Lily is a meanie."
"Wanna prove it."
"So, Rinny-!"
"-Changing the subject? Smart girl."
"-Did you see that new episode of Disgea yesterday?" she said, smiling nervously as Lily evilly stared at her. Her eyes screamed 'help me' while Lily's screamed 'test me', so I decided to humor Miku by helping her out.
"Yeah, I saw. It was really funny, wasn't it?" I said, starting to walk towards the school as she quickly followed. After a minute, we all started talking about random things, ranging from school, to home, to movies, to books which moved the conversation to manga, then to anime, and embarrassingly to hentai-which is a conversation I didn't talk about and happily sounded them out with my headphones.
But, of course, not without face palming every once in a while.
Once we got to the school yard, we had a good hour until school actually started. It's actually very funny considering we don't usually get to school over an hour early. Most of the time, it's because of Rinto and his 'I have to look perfect' attitude in the morning that makes us late.
I figured I'd get to work on the painting I was working on for the anniversary. The art teacher, Ms. Fujioka, allowed me to work on it for a while, and kept it safe in the art room for a while now.
I told the guys I'd see them later, and headed to the art room with a skip in step. I smiled at the thought of seeing mom and dad's face when they saw the picture. I hope at least they'd have a smile, or look amazed when they saw it. Then, it'll make all those long days of working at this place all worth it.
I had a smile on my face when I opened the door, but it quickly fell when I noticed the activities inside the room. The air was heavy and thick, and it smelled like sweat, and… well, those activities. I was frozen, eyes wide and my mouth hung opened as I realized what I just walked into. Suddenly, I was looking at the face-handsome; I would say if I wasn't so shocked-of a blond boy, half naked boy, at least, I hoped he was half naked- as he looked at me, shocked, before sighing in relief. "God, I thought you were a teacher." He then proceeded to send me a dazzling smile. "You wouldn't mind closing the door, would you, sweetheart?"
I blushed, every visible part of me turning red before I slammed the door. I leaned my head against the door, sliding down the door silently until I was crouched down in front of it. I was in shock, but after a minute, I realized just what was going on, and my face got too red, and I squealed loudly, yelling out for someone-anyone actually- that I could confined in, and quickly ran down to find Luka, my mature, beautiful, pink-haired junior friend, yelling her name quite loudly, probably catching a lot of attention from other students, but I don't care.
I'm in shock for God's sake.
~~~Len's P.O.V~~~
Well that was weird.
I shook my head as I let the girl out closet, seeing her fully dressed. Her name escapes me at the moment, but then again, I hardly remember which girls I get with, and she's nothing special. "Well, you dress fast." I noted as I grabbed her hand, and pulled her out the closet.
"Well, I wouldn't want to get us in trouble, now would I, Len?" she purred, trying to be seductive. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, as she handed me my pants and underwear. I put them on quickly as she looked at the time, and sighed. "I guess I'd better get going, Len, my friends are probably looking for me now." She said, rubbing my arm slowly. "But if you ever need anything from me…" she trailed off at the end, almost as if she was leaving suspense.
I highly doubt it. "Sure thing babe." I said, kissing her on the lips. I watched as she sashayed out the room, slowly closing the door behind her, and when she was out of sight, I rolled my eyes, and started looking for my shirt. "Where is that damn shirt?" I said, lifting sheets of paper, ripped-up clothes and the likes. "You'd think she stole it or something…" I scratched the back of my head. But who would steal just the shirt? Why not my boxers… unless that was what she was doing in the closet with them in the first place, stealing them that is.
I sighed as I crawled from under the teacher's desk, bumping into a canvas on my way out. Luckily, I grabbed the canvas before it fell, but wasn't able to catch the covering, and I was met with the beautiful sight of a painting with a blond male and female at what appears to be a wedding. It was so good; you could hardly tell it was painted, almost as if it just printed on the canvas. Whoever drew this must be a professional or something. This was just too beautiful for words.
Don't look like. I may be a player, but that doesn't mean I can't have a fine eye for good art.
I examined it more, a small 'wow' passing my lips as I felt the smooth texture of the painting, and looked for the name of the artist, but was interrupted when the door burst opened, and the highly irritated face of Miku Hatsune glared at me.
I sighed, knowing that I was probably in for the scolding of the century. Seriously, if I wanted to get scolded-which I don't- I would go find my mom, and pick a fight with her, which is a death wish, by the way, but a scolding from Miku is highly dangerous, and no man ever survives from one.
Okay, I'm exaggerating, but it's sometimes that bad.
"Len. FUCKING. Kagane!" she growled every syllable of my name, and I shuddered. The door slammed shut as she swiftly moved towards me. "You, you are a dead man, Kagane. Hope you didn't have any plans for the future, because I'm about to end your very existence, right now."
"Wait, what did I even do?" I held up my hands defensively in front of my face, knowing that's where she was going to aim. She always does, and it's never pretty. "Can I at least know the reason for my death before I die? I haven't even started my bucket list-"
"Another smart word and I'll end you." I clamed my mouth shut, putting my arms at my side, and as Miku watched the action, she was suddenly very aware that I wasn't wearing a shirt, and immediately glared at me. "Len Kagane, I swear to the every epitome of my being, if you were planning to do something sly, I will rip you to shards-put on a goddamn shirt."
"I would if I could find it!" I yelled, flinching as she raised her hand to hit me. She-hulk, please no, I like living, thank you very much. "Look, look, if it's about your friend with the… weird nekomimi or whatever fetish, I keep telling you, you have to tell her to stop or I won't be responsible for my actions in the long run."
"… The Hell are you talking about?"
"Well, like I said; she was coming on to me, and I didn't want to be rude, so for a little while, we-"
"Oh my God, fucking no, Len, I will rip your tongue out of your mouth if you don't fucking stop with the… the nekomimi? - Len, the fuck! I'm not even talking about that friend!"
"Oh, which friend are you talking about then?" I asked; my ears perked at the mention of a girl I may or may not know. Probably one I don't know considering the only friend she should be yelling at me about is the nekomimi. Eh, it was her fault, told her don't test me like that…
She sighed, putting her hands on her hips. "Listen, Len, you are a sick, dirty, disgusting excuse for a human being-"
"-Love you too, babe-"
"-And everything about you, I couldn't give less of a shit about-"
"-Feeling the love, really-"
"-But the moment little Rinny was brought into your crazy, pervert's world but chance, shit hit the fan, and a group of us are planning your murder as we speak."
"Likely story; my counter-argument, who's Rinny?"
"…What?" she narrows her eyes at me, and I shrugged.
"Who is this 'Rinny' girl you're referring to?"
"Rin. As in, Rin Kagamine, the referred as the cutesy, artist Kagamine?" I shake my head. "She has artwork all over the school." I shrug again. "The one you fucking scarred just this morning because you and your dipshit, wanna-bang-everything-in-the-world mind couldn't lock a damn door?"
I think for a minute, and then clapped as I realized who she was talking about. "She must have been the one who opened the door!" I said, almost as if I was in a Dora the Explorer episode. Man, now I wished I'd focused on her face a bit more. I don't remember anything about her now; well, except the face she most definitely screams like a girl, but, you know, she's a girl, so…
"No, really?" she said, sarcasm rolling of her tongue, making me groan. "Because of you, Rin basically crawled unto Luka, mumbling the word 'fuck' in every human way possible." I smirked, and before I could stop myself, started talking.
"So, she liked what she saw, no?" I then started to laugh, throwing my head back, not being prepared when Miku fist collided with my stomach. "Ow! Miku, okay, stop hitting me-eck! I was kidding! I was kidding!" she stopped punching me, and I was left bent forward, arms around myself to try and comfort my throbbing stomach. "If it means that much to you, I'll apologize-"
"No, Len, I know you too well to let you anywhere near Rin." She put her hand on my shoulder, bringing me closer so that she kinda towered over me, but so that we were also made eye contact. "If you go anywhere near Rin, I will not hesitant to end your life, Len Kagane. And that is my promise to you."
"If you didn't want me to apologize, what was the point of telling me all of this?"
"Just so you don't be surprised when you ultimately die somewhere in the near future. Oh, and to also show you how much of an idiot you are."
She then turned around, and did her Miku stride out the door. After finding, and putting on my shirt, I made sure everything was as it should be-as messily as it was. "Rin Kagamine, huh?" I don't even think Miku realized just how much fun she's made this round for me. 'The cutesy, artist Kagamine'? This is just too easy. Promising to end my life if I go near her? Nice. "Challenge accepted, dear Miku."
And I don't plan to lose.
