R-Red...?!
Rin stumbled back into another tree, trembling in fear. Len stayed silent, staring at her with a somewhat amused expression. Those crimson eyes bored into her blue ones, impossible to read, and looking far too old for someone his age to own. If he's really 17 at all...
"W-What d-did you d-do to Ijime-san?" Rin stammered, cursing herself for sounding so scared and weak.
Len came closer, so he was just as close as he was before. He smirked, revealing two long, white fangs where regular canine teeth should have been. "What do you think?" he asked, his tone mischievous and almost devilish.
Every molecule inside of Rin wanted to reach up and push him away, take off running and never see him again, but her body was frozen in fear. She couldn't move, think, much less say a complete sentence without stuttering.
"I s-saw m-marks..." she gulped, "on her n-neck..."
"And...?" he asked, seeming to enjoy watching the girl cower in fear from him.
"I..." she took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart.
"I think you bit her."
Len then did something she wasn't expecting. He threw his head back and laughed, a horrible, sadistic sound. "Correct! How does it feel, genius? Now what else can you tell me, sweetheart?" he howled sarcastically.
Normally, if anyone else talked this way to Rin, she'd probably slap them across the face and right into next week, but she was too busy being scared out of her wits. "V-Vampire. You're a vampire, right?"
"Right again, sweetheart! Mostly, anyway," Len said.
A thought occured in Rin's head. "B-But wait, how did you go out in the sun today, anyway? Isn't going out into the sunlight a big no-no for... vampires?" she asked, secretly trying to stall him so she could figure a way out of her situation.
"True, for full vampires. But the thing is, human, I only said you were mostly right about me being a vampire, now didn't I?" he mused.
What does he mean? He's not a "full vampire?" Then what is he exactly...?
"Now, enough talking. You've got an interesting smell, don't ya, sweetheart? It's been bothering me since this morning, to be honest."
His crimson eyes were no longer playful as he slammed his hands on either side of her, ruining any chance of escape. A scream caught in her throat when he neared her neck, ready to sink his sharp fangs into her ivory skin.
Sharp pain exploded in Rin's neck when she felt two sharp points sink into it. She came to her senses and grabbed his shoulders, trying in vain to push him away and stop this pain. She had felt as if her very life force was being sucked away instead of her blood, and felt herself become weaker and weaker as he continued. She locked her eyes onto the moon, which became blurry quickly.
And then it stopped. Rin was vaguely aware of Len letting her go and stepping back. She reached back and tried to hold herself against the tree, since her knees had turned to jelly long ago. "Since you know so much, I'm sorry if I accidentally erase all your memories instead of the one's including me. Goodnight, sweetheart," he said and set his hand on top of her head.
A red haze surrounded her vision for a moment, but other than that, nothing happened. As Len turned around to leave, Rin pushed herself up on her elbows with an effort and croaked, "Don't count me out just yet, Kagamine."
He flinched, and turned to look at her in shock. "What? How did it not..."
"Not work? Not sure, but I sure as hell remember everything you told me before you bit me, vampire." Rin spat, standing up and feeling sore all over.
"Are you not... human? Does that explain your interesting scent?" he asked, stepping closer once again.
Rin brushed off her skirt and glared at him, feeling much more confident than before. It was refreshing to see him being the confused one asking the questions. "I can assure you I am human. I don't know anything about this 'interesting scent' business, though, so you care to explain?" Rin asked, putting her hands on her hips and glaring at him.
Len ignored her question and continued to stare. His eyes widened. "Could it be...?" he whispered more to himself than to Rin.
"Could what be- Hey!" Rin shouted when he suddenly pulled her close to him. Her face flushed immediately.
Rin watched as black, leathery wings sprouted from his back. Before she had the chance to cry out, he took off into the air, taking her with him. Her breath hitched when she realized how high they were- higher than one of the tallest buildings in the city, if she had to guess. She could see her apartment building in the distance, and she instantly felt nauseous . If only she hadn't taken a stupid shortcut, then she wouldn't be caught in the middle of something like this!
"H-Hey, what are you doing?! Just where do you think you're taking me?!" Rin asked Len as they flew through the air, pushing his shoulders in an effort to get him to let her go.
"Wouldn't do that if I were you, sweetheart. See how high we are? Now put a cork in it, before I 'accidentally' drop you," he replied, completely ignoring her questions.
She felt the urge to slap him again, but decided not to, since being a puddle of Rin-remains on the ground below wasn't exactly the best future in her eyes.
When they came to the ground, they were somewhere Rin didn't recognize, on the outskirts of the city. Only forest was around them, and a huge, dark mansion that seemed to loom threateningly. Len grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her after him toward the house.
"Let go! There's no way in hell I'm going in that place! It just has 'final destination' written all over it!" Rin protested as he yanked open the front door.
"Whatever you like to think, human. Now stop being a scaredy-cat and get in there," he grumbled and shoved her into the darkness.
It took her a moment for her eyes to adjust to the darkness. When they did, she was greeted with the sight of possibly a thousand bats fluttering around the probably once beautiful chandelier. About a hundred yards away, there were three thrones, with two of the seats occupied; the middle and the left. One was a woman, and the other was a man.
Rin heard Len walk up behind her as the door creaked shut, and the sound of it locking echoed throughout the mansion. Welp... There goes any chance of escape...
The woman spoke up and asked, "Len. What is the meaning of this?"
Her voice was low and smooth, almost soothing. She had long pink hair that reached her waist, and flawless ivory skin. She wore a unique brown dress that fit her perfectly. She wore a golden band around her head that Rin feared was a crown. Her light blue eyes looked Rin over critically, making her feel uncomfortable, as if she was deathly afraid of disappointing her.
Len stepped forward, his face serious and respectful. "Miss, she's not normal. I tried to erase her memories, but for some reason, she remembers everything."
The woman's eyes flickered with interest. She got out of her seat and moved toward Rin, until she stood in front of her. She was quite tall, and the blonde silently cursed her shortness that made everyone taller seem so intimidating.
"She does seem to have an interesting scent, doesn't she?" she mused, circling Rin like a cat does to a mouse when it's about to pounce.
"W-What's that supposed to mean?" Rin asked, her throat dry.
The woman looked at her with slight surprise, as if she were a bug that just talked to her.
"I'm not exactly entirely sure what it means, human, but I've got a guess."
The man in his throne approached them and put a hand on her shoulder. "Is she...?" he trailed off.
"Is she what exactly?" Len asked.
"The time is not right for either of you to know." the woman, Luka, said while looking at Len and Rin.
Rin saw Len grimace, but stay silent.
"Excuse me, but while you all have a conversation without me, I do have some questions I'd like answer. First, why am I here? Second, what exactly is Kagamine? And why can he go out into the sun?!" Rin asked angrily, tired of being ignored.
The man shot me a stern look, but Luka waved him off. His violet eyes flashed, but he stepped off anyway.
"Len is a special case. What did he tell you exactly?" Luka asked, shooting Len a look.
"I... called him a vampire. And he said that I was correct... mostly, at least."
Luka turned to Len, who had his head down in shame. She shook her head and looked back at Rin. "He was telling the truth, unfortunately. Len is not a full vampire."
"But how is that? How can he be a vampire, but not a full one?" Rin asked, confused.
"His parents committed the taboo. His mother was a human, and his father was a vampire."
Rin's eyes widened and she turned to look at Rin. "You don't mean..." she trailed off.
"Len is half human."
It took her a moment absorb that. She now saw Kagamine in a new light. He's a vampire, but not...
"Why is it taboo? Isn't it good- in a way- for you vampires to have someone able to go out in the day?" she asked.
"It's obvious, isn't it? Vampires and humans cannot coexist so closely. Vampires are the far more superior race," Luka explained.
Rin scowled. "Don't look down on humans like that! We may not be as... sturdy as you may be, but it doesn't mean we're inferior, right? We have more worth than you think-"
"Of course, you have worth. You are our food supply, after all. But other than that, there is no need for a bond between our worlds. The only interactions between a vampire and human is for a meal, not to fall in love and have children," Luka spat the words like they were disgusting just to say.
Rin was speechless, not only by Luka's confidence in her beliefs, but by her obvious distaste for anything human related at all.
"Anyway, human or not, you interest me. No human has ever spoken to me in such a rash way before," the woman said with a slight smile.
Rin's face felt hot again as she felt both Len and the man staring at her. "S-So what is it that you're going to do to me?" she asked shyly, her old confidence melting to her shoes.
"On normal circumstances, I'd kill you without a second thought, but if you're what I think you are, that would be bad. So, I will keep you alive, as long as you keep Len's secret and ours to yourself," Luka reasoned.
"And if I don't?" Rin asked.
"I may have to keep you alive, but that doesn't mean all your limbs have to be attached, does it?" Luka grinned wickedly.
Rin shut up.
"Anyway, in the meantime, Len is to be your guardian. It will be his job to keep your safety ensured, until the time when we will need you," she announced.
Len crossed his arms. "Why do I have to do it?" he whined like a 5 year old.
"You're the only one of us who can be with her in the daytime, right? Not to mention, that'd give you access to her blood at any time, as long as you don't drink too much..." Luka offered.
"Hey, I didn't agree to this-"
His face lit up in an instant. He grinned and locked arms with Rin, starting to drag her toward the door. "Ohoh, alrighty then~! Now come along, sweetheart, let's get on home~!"
"H-Hey, what's with that sudden attitude change?!"
"Why's it so small?" Len asked as he gazed around Rin's little apartment with scrunched eyebrows.
"'Cuz I live alone," she answered shortly and tossed her keys on the kitchen counter.
"Why?" he asked.
She scowled. "Do I have to answer?"
"What? It's just a question- oh."
"Yep. Now shut it before I kick you out of my apartment," she snapped, setting her school bag down on the dingy old couch that Aunt Meiko sent her after she got a new one for herself.
Rin sighed, she'd have to wake up even earlier tomorrow to do her homework that never got finished because of the... events that occurred earlier tonight. It was still processing in her mind that there was a vampire standing just a few feet away from her. Or a half-vampire or whatever. She still didn't really get the concept of that either.
"You can sleep on the couch, I guess. It's a pullout, so knock yourself out. See you in the morning, or maybe I'll get lucky and I'll wake up and find that all of this was just a messed up nightmare," Rin sighed and headed toward her bedroom.
"Uh, no way, not on this sad excuse for a couch. How about I take the bed, and you have fun sleeping on the couch," Len suggested and made way for her bedroom.
"Ha, that's really cute, Kagamine. Please take some time to remember this is my place, so I can do whatever the hell I want. Now GET OUT!" Rin demanded, slamming the bedroom door before he could waltz in.
She flopped on the bed and glared at the ceiling. Is this really all real? Did I really see Lily get her blood taken, find out Kagamine was a vampire, then find out that I may not even who I thought I was? Or did Teto spike my orange juice, and this is all a really vivid hallucination?
Her eyes became heavier and heavier until she could hardly keep them open anymore, and before she knew it, she was in a deep sleep, still in her school uniform.
That night, she woke up randomly, feeling as if she had just been dropped somewhere. Then she realized that her awakening wasn't so random, and that she was on the springy old couch. "What the..." she whispered, then a vein popped in her forehead.
"KAGAMINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Rin screamed.
An evil cackle sounded from the bedroom.
Ohohoh, I don't really know why I did that ending right there. My oldest sister did that to me once when I hogged my bed and made her sleep on the couch. Then, in the middle of the night, I woke up on the couch XD.
Soooo, yep, Len's a vampire. I mean, c'mon, we all saw this coming. Still it's fun to write this kind of Len, as opposed to the blushing and stammering little shota I usually write about XD. (I still love my little shota boi tho :))))
Please review and tell me what you think! I really appreciate every review ;A;
