Chapter 2. Kidnapping that led to the Secret
Len's POV
"We found you, Rinta Kagamine."
Kagamine Rinta? Me?
"I'm not Rinta!" I exclaimed. I'm starting to get nervous so I had my guard up.
"Hagane-sama will be pleased with this." the men said and tied my hands. They covered my mouth and made me inhale something that made me dizzy. Then, everything went black.
Rin's POV
Classes were done. I walked home when my phone suddenly rang.
"Hello? Oh, Miku-nee?"
"Rin-sama! Are you alright?" Miku was worried over the phone.
"I'm fine. Is there any problem?"
"We received a threat from the men of Hagane. They said that they have Rinta Kagamine. If you're safe, then who did they catch?" Miku wondered.
Crap. Len-kun!
"I think I know. Where is the location they said?" I said sternly.
"Rin-sama! You'll go? We can just ask the-"
"I can't waste any time! He's probably in trouble now. So, the location?" I said panicking.
"An old garage in XX Street."
"Thanks, Miku-nee.", I said in my manly voice.
"Please take care, Rinta-sama.", she said and I hung up. I rushed to the bathroom for a while and changed into my mafia clothes. Good thing I brought these for emergency.
Len's POV
I woke up in an old garage. I was tied to a chair and there were men in suits around me.
"So... The "Raven" is awake." a man in black said.
"Raven? What are you talking about?" I asked curiously. I have no clue about what is happening.
"Don't play dumb, Kagamine Rinta. You are the Raven right?" he said in disbelief to my innocence.
"He is not Rinta Kagamine.", said a young boy's voice.
When I looked at the one who spoke, he looked exactly like me. He is in a black mafia suit. But, when I looked at his eyes...
Kagamine... Rin?
The men were shocked seeing two people exactly alike. At their moment of shock, Rinta took the opportunity to break my hands away with what seemed like black feathers. He beat up most of the men, and I managed to injure some of them with my strength.
"So, you are the real Raven. You've shown yourself, Rinta." the man said while he was knocked down on the floor.
I stood beside Rinta and saw his weapon. So that's why he was nicknamed Raven. Those black feathers that formed wings are actually battle tonfas covered in feathers.
"We're out of here, now!" he exclaimed. I ran with him but I suddenly stopped when I felt something painful on my leg.
"Not so fast, Kagamine." the man smirked. He threw a small knife into my leg and made me fall down.
"Tsk! Coward dogs of Hagane!" Rinta said angrily.
I was losing too much blood. I felt dizzy from the fatigue and passed out.
I woke up in an unfamiliar place. From the feel, it's a room in a well-brought family's house.
I felt someone's head leaning on the bed. A sleeping angel.
"R-rin-chan?" I mumbled. Why am I in Rin-chan's house?
She snapped awake when she felt me sit up.
"Len-kun! Are you alright?" she said worriedly.
"Why am I here?" I asked. I'm confused. What's going on?
"Rin-sama, is he awake? Here is the medicine kit you were asking for.", a maid with long teal hair in ponytails came in.
"Thanks, Miku-nee.", Rin said as she reached for the kit.
"I'll replace the bandage I put in your leg.", Rin said. I remembered my cut and looked at my leg. A black cloth, which seemed like something ripped off a coat, was tied to my wound. I stared at it for a while. Wait, how did we escape the garage?
"I know you are confused but, let's treat that wound first before I explain things." Rin said like she read what I was thinking.
She had the wound disinfectant, cotton, and the bandages out. She cleaned my cut and wrapped it in bandages. I just watched her as she treats me until it was done.
"Good thing the men came in time. I couldn't have given you first aid if they didn't back me up." Rin sighed.
"Wait.. You're Rinta Kagamine?" I asked. So my deduction about Rin being Rinta is true?
"I'll tell you the truth." Rin began.
"I am Rin Kagamine, sole daughter of the Kagamines. Our family is a big mafia group here. My parents died on the tragedy two years ago. Since I was next in line, I had no choice but to lead the family in an early age. Other mafia groups won't respect a female like me as a boss, so I had to turn into a man in order to lead the group." Rin explained.
Miku added, "That's when Rinta Kagamine's existence was known. No one expected that the Kagamine had a heir, so rival families go after Rin-sama."
"I wanted to go to a common school because of my studies. My guardians wanted me to experience a normal life too, and they didn't want me to get tired being Rinta Kagamine. That's why I entered Crypton. The news of Rinta going to a common school got out to our rival's sources, so they were finding a way to get a grasp of me. And, I didn't expect for someone to look exactly like Rinta Kagamine. For that, I'm sorry." Rin concluded.
I digested every information revealed to me. Rin is... the leader of a mafia group? But she's... a girl. She can't handle it on her own...
"Rin-sama, the report came in." a man in a suit came.
"Ah, please leave it on my desk. I will check on it later." Rin said and dismissed the man.
"Rin-sama, you haven't been sleeping decently. Yesterday you had only a small amount of sleep, since you woke up at 2am to attend to some work. Are you sure you can handle this?" Miku said, full of worry for Rin.
"Miku-nee, I'll be fine. Besides, I got to sleep for a while." she smiled weakly. Her features do say that she hadn't slept. I wasn't able to notice because of her glasses. Seeing her like this...
It made me want to assist and protect her.
"Ne, Rin-chan..." I began.
"Yes, Len-kun?"
"In exchange of saving my life... Could I serve you as your right-hand man?"
Rin's POV
I gasped at what Len proposed.
"Akita-san, are you sure about that?" Miku asked.
"Yes. Since you got me involved in this mafia thing, I guess I'd join it. I also wanted to... search for answers on my parents' death."
"Parents? But why the mafia?" I asked.
"Because it was a mafia family that caused my parents' deaths."
This was the side of the mafia I didn't like. Death of innocent people.
"I'd have to interview you for this job, Akita-san." Miku said.
"Yes. Thank you." Len answered.
"I'll be over here in the desk. I'll attend to some of the work while you are having the interview." I said and went to my desk in the room.
