Chapter 2: Another Me

Len told me that I was the reason that he was going crazy. So I decided that I should explain that I had begun to notice that something was strange way before I confessed to Len what was going on. I actually didn't notice until a couple weeks ago.

-Flashback-

I was down on my knees tears streaming down my face. It was pitch black. I felt so alone and empty that it was begining to scare me.. There was nothing else here, but me as my sobs echoed throughout the darkness.

"You're not alone," a strange voice informed me.

"Who are you?"

"You will realize soon enough." I could hear the voice chuckle as it seemed to gradually get farther away.

"Wait! Don't leave me!" I shouted. Then there was silence as the tears that just subsided filled my eyes again. Something gentle slid under my chin and pushed my face upward.

"You may not realize it now, but I am always with you." The invisible person pressed their lips gently against my forehead, and whatever it was that was under my chin vanished.

"Don't go!" I shouted into nothingness.

I suddenly woke up to feel an ache I couldn't place. It wasn't the first time that I had a dream about that voice. Though I wasn't sure if it was my imagination or not, all I know was that I was begining to look forward to these dreams. I had stumbled out of bed in nothing but a t-shirt and underwear, and decided to take a shower after such a disturbing dream.

I grabbed a towel and proceeded to the bathroom. The second I was sure the door was locked and I was safe from Kaito, I began to undress. As I started to undo the clasps of my bra, I saw movement from the corner of my eye. I looked around the room but saw nothing; that is, until I glanced at the mirror. It was hard to tell at first, but the closer I looked I realized someone else was standing there. Someone that wasn't my reflection.

I leaned against the counter to get a closer look. It was a boy not much older than me. He had large, blonde, spiky hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. He had blue eyes and upon closer inspection, had facial features similar to mine. My eyes grew wide as his shirt came off. I somehow found myself on top of the counter as I watched the boy continue to undress. 'I know I shouldn't be watching this, but I can't... seem to look away,' I thought. As I came back to my senses, his pants hit the floor quickly followed by his underwear. My face flushed as I caught sight of something a girl my age shouldn't see. I felt something trickle out of my nose as I lost my balance and fell back onto the floor with a loud thud.

"Ow," I mumbled as I rubbed the back of my head.

A knock sounded at the door. I jumped up off the floor and wiped of the droplet of blood from my nose. "Is everything alright Rin?" Meiko asked with a worried tone of voice.

"Everything is fine. I just tripped. I didn't mean to make you worry," I anwered.

"Alright, if you're sure." I could hear her walk down the stairs after she finished interrogating me. I looked back into the mirror and he was gone, but I could see steam coming from the shower in the mirror. I looked at my bath and remembered that I needed to take my shower.

-End Flashback-

"That was when I first saw you in the mirror." I told Len. He didn't say anything he just sat there in silence for a moment. "Is everything ok?" I asked.

He slowly looked up at me with a flushed face. "You saw me naked..." He mumbled just loud enough so I could hear him. My face turned redder than his as I looked away from the mirror.

"Well, you and I just happened to be there at the same time. I was eventually going to notice anyways. It just happened to be then." She glanced back at the mirror to see Len's head hung over. "Len?"

"You saw my..." he didn't finish his statment more so cause he didn't have to. I knew what he was going to say. I looked away again as he looked back up at me. "Why did you just keep watching? Why didn't you just look away?"

"Well... as I said. My eyes wouldn't move." Her face grew redder as the time passed. "But, I still wasn't sure what was going on. I didn't notice it again until about a week after that incedent."

-Flashback-

Every night that week I would dream of him. We would even talk about the same people. Only, something was different. I couldn't quite place it. I thought that the whole mirror thing was a hallucination of some kind. Then one morning, as I was about to leave my room, I glanced in the mirror and there he was again. I got closer and as I watched him my curiosity grew. He had his back turned to me, and I blushed as I recalled the earlier incedent. However; he wasn't undressing this time, but I did notice that he was quite spaced out. I got closer to the mirror to see that Meiko was talking to him, or rather yelling.

My breath was fogging up the glass, I was so close. I could have almost even reached out and-

"RIN!" came Meiko's voice in my ear, suddenly. I nearly toppled backward as I noted that Meiko's hand was moving up and down in front of my face, in an attempt to get my attention. In the mirror, Len's Meiko was doing the same. 'Odd,' I thought.

"RIN!' Meiko cried even louder and I was forced to tear my eyes from Len.

"What is it Meiko?" I asked, pondering over the fact that I had seen Len yet again.

Meiko sighed. "Quit admiring yourself in the mirror and pay attention for a minute! I swear, Miku is rubbing off on you!" she fumed. I looked up at Meiko with confusion plastered onto my face. She heaved a heavy sigh, "Food is ready whenever you want to come down and eat it." I nodded as I kept glancing at the mirror and back at her. Meiko shook her head and walked out the door. As I stared at the mirror again I noticed that the Meiko there left the room the same time as the one here did. 'It doesn't make any sense though. How could there be two Meikos? It's not possible unless...' My eyes opened wide as I grew closer to my conclusion.

-End Flashback-

"That's when it started to occur to me that there was an alternate demension." Len sat there in silence as I finished explaining what had happened the week before.

"Why did you wait until now to tell me?" he asked.

"Well, first I wasn't sure if you would believe me. Which you almost didn't. You thought that you were going insane for a while there until I began explaining myself." I looked at Len who now had an expression of guilt on his face. He looked up at me making it clear to me that I could go on. "Second, it was really difficult to try to communicate with you. I tried to do it through dreams at first, but you always seemed to forget who I was. So, I tried to speak to you in your thoughts and that seemed to work. I am not entirely sure how, but we are conected in a way that I've never heard of before. People always talk about how twins can often read each others thoughts." I paused for a moment. "But, we aren't twins. So I'm not sure how I was able to make you dream of me or how I was able to speak to you through your thoughts. I just could."

"But, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Len asked again. "If you figured out that you could speak to me through our thoughts, why did you wait?"

"I didn't." I replied. "It took quite some time before I even got a reponse out of you."

Len sat there with a stunned expression on his face for a second.

I smiled reassuringly at him. "Well, I'd be a little scared if you had noticed anything in the mirror, what with you being a guy and all." I smirked as Len shot an annoyed glance at me.

"At least I don't stare at people while they're undressing!" he shot back.

I grinned. "You have to admit that if it were me undressing, you wouldn't have been able to take your eyes off me either."

Len blushed. "I would not!" he defended.

"You're blushing."

"No."

"You are!" I giggled as I realized how easy it was to manipulate him.

Just as Len was about snap, the both of us heard crashing. "What was that?" I asked.

Len looked behind him. "It sounded like it was coming from downstairs."

I jumped as I heard the same crashing noise from below me. "That can't be good," I murmured. It was either Meiko on a rampage or Miku running from Kaito. Neither was a good thing.

"I'd better find out what's going on. It sounds like someone may die at any second," Len told me before disappearing from view.

I nodded, though he was no longer able to see me. I stood up and began to walk downstairs to see what the commotion was about.
