Chapter 2. Outside the Gates
Finally...
I gasped. I was OUT! Well, out of the gates at least. That huge thing must be keeping something from getting inside... I wonder what?
I looked around outside the window, everything seemed weird to me. A lot of people wore strange clothes, well unlike my servants, their clothes looked..well- nice.. Not as nice as mine though. I own the best of the best! The curtains were half open, it's as if I'm trying to keep my face hidden from these people. Don't know why I'm doing that, really.. but MEH.
It's really weird to see people's faces.. so many of them, they're smiling. Whereas the people around me are always scared and poker faced. Except Mikuo. That guy always smiles even when I give him such a hard time. Yeah.. Mikuo's the only person in this whole world I can definitely count on. But to think that even he keeps something from me. That's UNFORGIVABLE! You stupid Mikuo.. You stupid supid stupid-! You should just eat onions everyday and cry because it smells awful ang taste soooo disgusting!
"Miku-sama" the driver called. I just kept silent. After all, I'm not really obliged to reply to his call. Besides, I'm not Miku (ugh). "You seem to be a little furious today I noticed you're too silent after visiting rin sama." he giggled, "You probably teased her a little too much and ended up getting pissed yourself?"
WHA-? What does that mean?! Miku purposely visit just to tease me? UGHH that ugly hag! just wait till I see you again, surely I'll-!
"Well then, Miku-sama, we're almost getting near the borders of Kagamine lands, would you like to visit the yellow market? or would you rather head home already?"
Borders...of Kagamine Lands...!? There's such a thing? wait. If I'm not mistaken of what 'borders' mean..
"There's an end to the lands of Kagamine?! Just what are you talking about?!" I yelled at that servant.
He was so surprised he immediately stopped the carriage. "Wha- you're not Miku-sama?!" he jolted. He probaby noticed because of my voice. "YES. I am Rin Kagamine, daughter of Heina and Natsuo Kagamine!" I proudly announced. This lowly servant must have some guts to actually say that there's such a place I (the Kagamine's) don't own. Well the only reason for that statement must be...
Miku is jelous of me because I rule all lands, so she wanted her own and demanded all her servants that she actually owns her own place in this world. Right. Right. That must be it. That's DEFINITELY it.
"agh.! Rin.. Kagamine?!.. That- uh. Please stay there, I'll bring you back to the castle!" He said with his voice a little raised since he was panicked. "who said I want to go back?" I replied immediately and pushed the door open and ran as fast as I could.
There's no need to bring me back to that place! I have no intention of seeing mikuo right now. And this might just lead me to the questions I've always wanted to be answered.
"Rin sama-! WAIT! PLEASE!" he cried. HAH. Cry all you want midori servant, but I don't take orders from you or from anyone! I ran wherever my feet lead me. Honestly, I don't know where exactly I was going. This is the first time I left the castle grounds and the first time I'm outside without Mikuo.
"haaa...haaa" I panted. It took so much energy to be able to get away from that driver guy. My feet is sore.. Ugh..
"You there!" I pointed my hand to a random servant walking about. "get me a chair, I am tired." I demanded.
The girl seemed surprised but not scared at all. At that moment everything seemed twisted and.. reversed, turns out I was more surprised when she responded to my demand.
"What? why should I do that? You're not the boss of me!" she replied with an unbearable smile slammed in her face. Then she continued walking with another servant. "what the heck was that? Who does this girl think she is?"
Right in front of me... I HEARD THAT. How could these..! "You have some guts! You're exiled! I'll get Mikuo to burn all your things! - HEY! I'm speaking to you! Don't walk away from me!"
They just kept on walking and yet I still heard their sarcastic whims "My, I'm scared. Honestly, this kid is crazy, let's get out of here"
And all of a sudden.. I noticed everyone staring at me. Eyeing me from behind. It felt weird. It's as if I'm not in control at all... It didn't feel like I ruled. What is this- Why is this happening...? This world is mine right..? everyone is my servant.. Everyone is under my command! yet.. how come...
I ran away once again, far.. far away..! where no one could see me!
...
~Meanwhile, back in the castle~
"Head butler, Mikuo-san. Apparently the ride that Rin-sama took is approaching the castle gates now"
Mikuo raised his head, he was very panicked ever since he found out that the carriage left the castle grounds to the point of exiting the gates.
"GREAT. That's great news!" He exclaimed and head out.
It's been 58 minutes.. I wonder if Rin sama found hints and clues after this..
He was so glad to see the carriage as it was on its way back. Miku was beside him, waiting for her ride to finally realize the mistake it had carried. "Well, it seems it actually didn't take long before they came back. Mikuo, you seemed uneasy since earlier, even I couldnt calm you down." She sighed.
"that's because I don't know what I'd do if Rin sama found out about the secret."
"hmm.. But just as I told you, ne? you should tell her already. This is so stupid."
"I...can't.."
"Miku sama! and Mikuo-san! I have some bad news!" Gakupo, the driver roared, his hands shaking. "I immediately came back as soon as I could! I am very sorry! Rin sama..."
After scanning the insides of the carriage, he noticed that rin wasn't inside anymore. "what? what happened?!" Mikuo shrugged Gakupo's shoulders.
"I thought she was Miku-sama and I told her about the borders of Kagamine Lands... after that she ran away! I couldn't follow her anymore since the streets she ran were too narrow.. I'm VERY SORRY!"
"No-..." The horrified Mikuo stepped back.. "GET ME A HORSE NOW!" He yelled and another servant did as he demanded.
"She couldn't have gone far.. Where did she run to?"
"the AmaKune street, she followed that path. If she continued on, she must be at the village central by now!"
The horse Mikuo asked arrived and he quickly got on. "This incident.. Do not speak of this to anyone." He told the two. His usual soft and kind eyes were now feirce. It wrote 'blood' on it. Even Miku shivered when Mikuo glared.
He rode out in a dash as if he was the wind. His body quickly fading from their vision.
"That was the first time I saw Mikuo so panicked..and angry." Miku whispered. She was just staring at the blank horizon where Miko left. "anyway..Starting here, things will get pretty interesting. Good job, Gakupo." A small upward curve crossed her lips as she entered the carriage. "I want you to keep yourself updated about this and work every detail in the shadows. I want to know everything about this matter...Rin is... well.. It's about time she understands.. the mechanics of the real world."
"Yes. Miku sama."

~back to Rin's POV~
I ran for so long.. I don't know where I am... I stared at the sky and saw how orange it was.
"It's sunset now... isn't it..?" I whispered to myself.
I sat down anywhere, this place is isolated, there are more trees here than people..
I don't understand, why did that happen..? earlier with those servants. I don't understand at all. And now I'm running from them. Why is this happening..?
I slammed my face in my arms which are crossed on top of my knees. There, I cried.
"Mikuo... I don't understand... come get me now... this is so annoying."
Then I heard a rustle.. from a bush beside me. What was that?.. I backed away from the bush (just incase). Then it rustled again. and suddenly,
WOOOSH!
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I ran away as I saw something black jump out of the bush. And to my surprise.
BUMP.
"Ohh my," A male voice said in a very unfitting tone. In just a split second, I fell on the ground.. the impact of that bump must really be strong.. huh,..I looked up at the guy who was responsible for this mess and I immediately scolded him, "Why you-! look what you did to me! This is your fault! Y-O-U-R fault!" I yelled.
This strange guy then placed his right hand under his chin as he grinned, "well,well~ what have we here. I'm truly sorry milady, should I carry you the nearest hospital? Oh-! your beautiful dress is ruined as well, we better go to the "dress hospital" too so that the dress doctors could have a good look at that wonderful thing."
"wha-what..? there's no such thing as dress doctors..!" I replied quite uneasy. Because if there was a dress doctor, I should have known about it a LONG LONG time ago. This man is probably deceiving me!
"Oh yes there is.." he smiled as he was slowly walk towards me. "Now come here, let onii-chan carry you." he said. He looked creepy and he absolutely cannot touch me!
"NO! EW! onii-chan?! someone like you can never be my onii-chan! get back! get away from me!" I yelled, yet he still came closer and closer until he took a strong grip on my shoulders and brought out a handkerchief. He placed it in my mouth, I assume this is so that I can't make any noise or call for help-! what the hell is thiiiis?!
I still kept on strangling and trying to scream Mikuo's name, he was now dragging me around the dark parts of the town. This strange guy must really have some guts-!
Then, when we came through a narrow path with buildings from side to side, I saw Mikuo on the other side of the path. He was on a horse and talking to random people. He must be looking for me-! "Mmmmm...krrr...oowwwouu...!" I tried to scream his name as much as I could, but he couldn't hear me. We were on the dark part of the town and since there were two buildings from each side, there was no bit of sunlight shining upon us. Maybe that's why mikuo couldnt see me.. and he can't hear my screams at all...
Then the man carrying me started to move again. He continued to run to the darkest part of this place and I still kept my eyes on Mikuo as he faded from my vision... and that was the last time I saw him...
Save me...Mikuo...
Well? what do you think guys? Is it kinda rushed? because I think it is..?
