Chapter 2
Len's POV
I stood crouching upon a branch of a tree, overseeing the castle that will have the presence of my target. Kaito stood next to me, scanning for ways to infiltrate the castle. The party starts at 7pm and we have five hours to report back to our head assassin before the mission had to begin. My name is Len Kagamine, prince of Diamond and professional assassin, and I'm 17. You're wondering why I'm asked to assassinate a girl, who has the same last name, aren't you? Truth is, my family knew this from me and I only found out through Meiko.
"You found anywhere to go in, Kaito?" I asked, he looked at me and nodded.
"We can go through the garden, there are a lot of bushes and hiding spots so guards won't be a issue. From there, we will go into the main hall where we'll most likely see our targets." Kaito explained.
"Then?" I asked in confusion. "You do realize we need to kill them too, right?"
"Yeah, then, we lead them into a disclosed area where they can kill them with no witnesses." I nodded.
"Okay then, now let's report back to Meiko." We got down from the trees and went through the town of Crystal to get to Meiko. Several minutes later, we arrived at the hall, Meiko stood on the balcony.
"Ah, boys, I see you're back. Do you find any way to infiltrate the castle?" She said, beginning to walk gracefully down the stairs.
"Yes, we did, mistress." Kaito replied, Meiko looked at us and smiled.
"Excellent, I hope that for you two, that won't be a difficult mission."
"There...is one problem, mistress." Meiko raised an eyebrow at me.
"And what would that be, prince?" She hissed.
"There's barely any information on our targets for us to work with. I mean breast size? How will that be useful when we're trying to identify our targets?"
"I agree," Kaito stated, "Why not give us like their eye colour or height?" Meiko growled and let out a deep sigh.
"Fine," She began to speak, getting a folder which probably contains information of our targets. "You guys are lucky there is new information or I would've sent you out the window. Len, Rin has blue eyes and is approximately 5ft 6. Personality wise, she's a bit naive, but sweet, kind and polite. Fooling her should be easy. Kaito, Miku has teal eyes and is approximately 5ft 7. She's polite, well-mannered, kind and cheerful but she's not naive at the slightest. She's also learned how to fight so trying to kill her might be difficult. That is why I need both of you to assassinate your targets at the same time so if at any point, something goes wrong, and then you can evade the dilemma quickly. Are you happy with the information that I have given you or do I have to go on?"
"No, Meiko, we're fine." I reassured, Kaito quickly nodded in agreement.
"Good, oh, and you'll going to need these." Meiko pulled out two tuxedo-like assassin suits, one was black and yellow while the other was royal blue. "Once you get into the castle, if you wear the suits you're wearing now, the guards will get suspicious."
"So you made us formal suits?"
"Exactly." She handed me the black and yellow one while she handed Kaito the blue one. "And you're going to need these too." She then pulled out two devices, Kaito and I looked at them then looked at Meiko with a confused look.
"They're phones, you idiots, we are in the 21st century, you know. A lot of people around the world are inventing a lot of things."
"Okay, but why do we need them?" I asked.
"So I can keep in contact with you during the mission. If you two need to contact each other during the mission, the contacts are already there." We nodded and left the hall, acknowledging so close time we had prior to the mission. 30 minutes later, I arrived at my home at Diamond while Kaito returned to his home at Sapphire. My parents notice me and looked me in the eye with anger.
"Rin, where have you been?" My mother shouted, "We're been invited to a gathering that starts in an hour and you're not properly dressed for it." She then turned her eyes to the bag I have. "Len, what's in the bag?"
"Oh, it's my suit for the gathering." I pulled out the suit and mother gasped in shock.
"Len, it's amazing, where did you get that from?"
"Oh, there's this tailor in town. He's very expensive but his suits do last long and he will tail them for free once the suit is paid off."I lied. My mother nodded and I headed to my room to get changed. I looked myself in the mirror, the suit fitted perfectly. Not so tight but not so loose, I wonder how Meiko managed to get every aspect of this suit right. I took out my phone and began to call Kaito.
"Hello?" Kaito answered.
"Kaito, by any chance, was your family invited to the gathering?"
"Yeah, did yours?"
"Yeah, at least we don't have to go through the effort of infiltrating when we can just go in with our families."
"I guess, but we still need to think about how we kill our targets."
"Oh yeah, but we've killed many people before so it'll be easy, weren't it?"
"That's when there weren't many people around. This is a gathering, Len, there's bound to be at least one person at every bit of the castle."
"We'll find a way, Kaito, besides we're assassins."
"We are also princes, Len, do you have any idea what will happen to us when we find out we're the ones who have been killing members of royal families around Crypton."
"Hey, we're not the only assassins in the order."
"That's beside the point, anyways we've haven't got a lot of time so we should probably start to get ready."
"Okay, meet me in the back of the castle at 7:15pm."
"I will, don't be late." He then hung up, I finished getting ready and met my family outside of our castle. I smiled and followed them into the carriage. Upon seeing the fireworks exploding, bringing beautiful colours to the night sky, to the massive chatter that could be heard from where we were, it had became clear to me that we were near the castle. It weren't long until our carriage was in the front of the castle. There were several guards standing outside the castle, my family and I climbed out the carriage and walked to the guards.
"The Kagamines from the Diamond borough." The guard looked at the list and nodded. I looked at the time, 7:09pm, I have 6 minutes until I have to meet Kaito at the meeting point. The moment I walked in, I was caught off-guard with the scenery that beholds me. The castle was brightly led with golden lights, the castle was filled with tables of food from left to right and the castle itself was decorated with beautiful decor. I excused myself from my family and proceeded to go to the garden at the back of the castle. Upon getting onto the garden, I saw Kaito and walked towards him.
"Took you long enough." Kaito smirked, I rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Okay, so what's the plan?" I asked.
"Firstly, we find out where they are, sneak them somewhere where no one is and take them out." I nodded in agreement to Kaito's plan.
"Where do you think they are?" I asked, Kaito looked at me in confusion.
"How the hell am I supposed to know!?" Kaito exclaimed. "How about we split, you look for Rin while I look for Miku?"
"That's a good idea, call me if something goes wrong." We then split, which annoyed me because it was a massive castle and chances of finding my target were slim. Just when I say that, I spot someone with blonde hair and blue eyes. I got closer and the person became more like Meiko's description with every step I took. She was talking to someone with long teal hair. That's when I realize that those two were mine and Kaito's targets. I quickly grab my phone from my pocket and called Kaito. It took a few rings before Kaito answered.
"Len, what is it? I need to find Miku for God's sakes!" He exclaimed through the phone.
"That's why I'm calling you, you ice-cream loving douche. I found Miku and Rin, they're talking right now."
"What!? Where are you?"
"By the fountain, you might want to be quick. I don't know how much longer they're going to talk."
"Okay, I'm on my way." I hung up and sat by the fountain, waiting for Kaito. It wasn't long until Kaito was standing in front of me. We then slowly made our way to the girls.
"Excuse me, princess." Rin and Miku both turned to Kaito and I in suspicion. But Rin turned around, it was probably one of the biggest shocks of my life, she stood in a dress with a colour palette identical to mine. She had lovely rosy cheeks that complimented her glistening skin, her lips looked soft and had a nice shade of pink. She had strong white teeth and her smile...dear God, her smile. I felt myself grow a blush upon my cheeks.
"Are you alright, sir?" She innocently asked, the singing voices of angels would not compare to the voice of the blonde princess that stood before me.
"Would you care to dance, p-princess?" What the hell am I stuttering? I thought my father taught me how to be a charmer.
"Of course" She took my hand and led me to the grand hall.
Kaito's POV
"Your friend's a freak." Miku stated, I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Hey, cut him some slag, okay? He just met the damn girl."
"Oh please, he could've passed off as a tomato if he were with Rin." I began to feel anger, it was a delight to kill her.
"Maybe you should cut the bitchy attitude." She gasped.
"How dare you!? I'm the princess of Ruby, is that how you talk to a princess!?"
"No, but I'm the prince of Sapphire so screw you!" I started to walk away but she grabbed my wrist and turned me to face her, luckily, we weren't attracting any attention.
"How in hell are you a prince!?" She hissed.
"It's called economy, you snobby pig, and we were chosen."
"Did you just call me a pig!?" She exclaimed, I just walked outside to the garden and turned to face her.
"Damn right!" I began to walk to a disclosed area where she would follow, no wonder Meiko sent for her to get killed. I heard stomping footsteps behind me, I sighed and turned to see what looks like a teal-haired bull in a dress.
"You apologize right now!"
"For what?"
"You called me a pig and said I had a bitchy attitude! I could have you executed for that!"
"You know, I'd get a mirror but you'd break it." She gasped and slapped me hard, giving me a red mark on my left cheek.
"You. Give it back. Now!" She shouted.
"What if I don't want to?"
"You will say sorry or I will beat it out of you!" She swung her fist and I grabbed it but I fell on the ground. But I felt something on my lips and I opened my eyes to find Miku on top of me, then I realized her lips were on mine. I didn't know what I was feeling, it was either disgust because of her snobby attitude or passion because of her soft lips. Miku opened her eyes and pulled away from my lips. "You...freak!" We stood up and she slapped me again, but with the back of her hand. "That was my first kiss!" She shouted, falling to the floor, sobbing. I felt my heart break, seeing her in this state. I wrapped my arms around her.
"Get off me! Just get off!" She shouted, I ignored her and kept clinging to her. After a while, she stopped, wrapping her arms around my back and put her head on my chest, silently sobbing. I started to stroke her hair, it was the softest thing that I have ever touched.
"I'm sorry." I whispered. "For calling you a pig, I didn't mean it, I swear." She sniffed, and looked up to me, smiling.
"It's okay, I forgive you." I wiped away her tears.
"I didn't mean to take your first kiss too."
"It's alright, you have nice lips anyway." I turned away, blushing. She giggled. "I forget to ask your name."
"Oh, I'm Kaito."
"I'm Miku."
"It was a pleasure to meet you." But then I began to wonder why Meiko sent me to kill her, sure I said I'd kill her but that was when she was being outgoing. Now, she's calm and sweet.
"Should we get back inside?" She asked.
"Yeah, let's." I got up and offered her my hand which she kindly accepted.
"You know, you're a nice guy when you're not a dick."
"And you're beautiful and sweet when you're not a bitch." She giggled and we started to walk back to the castle.
Len's POV
We arrived at the hall and Rin turned around to face me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I placed my hands around her waist. We slowly began to move to the music.
"What's your name?" She asked.
"Len, Len Kagamine."
"Oh, are you my long lost brother or something?" She giggled, which made me smile.
"No, we rule Diamond."
"Okay, I was just making sure. My family never told me that there is another Kagamine family around Crypton."
"That makes two of us." He agreed, "What about you? What's your name?"
"My name's Rin."
"That's a beautiful name."
"Well, I don't run into young, handsome princes like you quite often." I began to blush. "Instead, I get hoarded by fat, greedy kings seeking to marry me."
"Oh, I'm sorry." She smiled.
"Ah, it's quite alright." She reassured. "But I wouldn't mind being married to you." My blush deepened. I grabbed her hands and held them in mine, as we spun and danced around the hall. Then, I came to wonder what did this girl do to be marked for death? She was so simple yet so complex. She was carefree and full of energy, with a smile that outshines the sun and soft skin worth dying for. Why would anyone want her dead?
"Len!" Rin shouted, I soon acknowledged. "Is something the matter?"
"No, I just need air."
"Okay, let's go to the garden outside then." We went out to the garden where a variety of flowers were surrounding the grass. There were roses, violets, daisies and more. Rin sat me down on a bench, looking concerned. "Did you have anything to drink or eat today?" Now that I think about it...
"No, I don't think so."
"Do you want me to get you anything?"
"No, I...just want you to stay here...with me." This time, it was Rin's turn to blush and she playfully punched me in the arm.
"Idiot, I will. I'll be back in a moment." Rin had then left to get me food, I just sat there waiting for my beloved princess to come back. I looked up to the stars, in deep thought once again, wondering if Kaito had success in what I failed. Whether he managed to kill his target while I simply danced around and talked with mine. But she was something of elegance and grace, someone that had a lot more than meets the eye. Soon enough, Rin had returned with a glass of water and pieces of bread. "Here." She handed me the plate, which I quickly ate.
"Len, at least chew your food. I don't want you to choke." She innocently said, worry was filled in her voice. I smiled at her and held her hand in mine.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." She smiled back. We noticed that fewer and fewer people were among the garden.
"I think the gathering's nearly over." She said, pouting. I raised her chin so that her eyes were level with mine.
"I'm sure I'll see you again."
"But...when will that be?"
"I'm sure it will be soon."
"Can't you give me anything that will remind me of you until I see you again?" I then smirked.
"Will you remember this?" I then brought her lips to mine in a deep but passionate kiss. The feel of her lips were soft, the taste of fresh mint flooded my mouth as she kissed me back. We then pulled back, gasping for air.
"I'll definitely remember that." Rin smirked. As I left to the front of the castle, I saw Kaito smirking at me.
"What's up?" I asked him.
"I met one of the coolest girls ever."
"Let me guess, Miku?" He nodded vigorously.
"How about you, you met anyone there?"
"Yeah, I met Rin. She's...probably one of the best girls I'll ever meet." That's when it hit me. "Kaito, we failed. We didn't kill our targets."
