I blinked several time. The beast was looking at me weirdly with her teal eyes. She was beautiful. I wonder what she looked before had casted that spell. Anyway, now she was just gorgeous. Her long teal hair looked so soft and silky that I just wanted to ran my fingers through it. She was wearing a black sleeveless dress, a ribbon around her waist. She also had a golden necklace with a spiral pendant. The rather short girl was thin and had mesmerizing teal eyes. Her unnatural long teal hair was tied up in twin ponytails. She had full pale pink lips and long eyelashes. She wore two horns of a pure black and a red and golden crown.
Everyone was wrong about her, finally. She didn't get imprisoned by the villagers and wasn't a boy. I shook my head. How could she be a girl?
"You're… You're a girl?" I asked bluntly, my eyes locked with her. She sighed and broke the eye contact while starring down to the floor.
"Obviously, idiot." She hissed, looking once again in my eyes, anger filling her own. She passed next to me to reach the door but I grabbed her wrist, preventing her from going further. She turned around to face me, the anger still flickering in her beautiful teal eyes.
"I'm sorry, it's just that… I don't know. I always had thought that the beast was a boy." I apologized. Her anger seemed to lessen. I looked in her mesmerizing eyes. I could drown into them….
"I guess it's okay. Anyway, in the tale I am posed as a guy. So, what are doing here and what do you want, pitiful mortal?" She asked, her head high and her voice haughty. I was taller than her so she had to raise her eyes to look into mine. Her eyes wore a glow of superiority, as if I was below to her.
"I'd just want to know the true story behind the tale." I answered, annoyed by her looks of superiority.
"Oh, and why a useless mortal like you would want know it?" She wondered, keeping her superior look. She stared at me like if I was inferior to her, like if she was above me.
"Because I want to decipher the lies from the truth." I answered quietly, fighting to remain calm, as her air of superiority unnerved me.
"Like if I will told you about the truth? You, another useless mortal? Who will die when I'll live? Who will grow old while I'll stay the same?" She riposted, looking at me with disgust written all over her face.
It was enough. How could she talk to me like that when I came her in peace? I had done nothing to her. What was wrong with her? My anger rose, too much to hide it. My hatred for her attitude was now plastered on my face. I remember of the story that my mom had told me when I was young, the one which looked like the real one.
Maybe the young boy had gained immortality, but he cannot found love. Everybody was too disgust at the beast to show him affection. He lost all the sense of Love as the years passed by.
I smirked, a smile twisted by hatred. I knew what will hurt her, from the depth of her heart and her soul.
"At least, nobody avoids me as if I would be an inhuman monster. At least, nobody hates me as hell. At least I don't disgusts the people with my past actions or my appearance. At least people call me by my real name. At least I'm not afraid of the outside world. At least I know what love means." I snapped at her.

The beast P.O.V.
"At least I know what love means." He snapped at me, looking furious. His melodious voice, though a bit acute for a guy, was twisted by pure hate. His beautiful dark blue eyes were full of hatred and anger. I staggered while taking a few steps back. I tried to keep a neutral face, but what he said had stabbed me right in the heart. I wanted to show him that I was strong. I didn't want him to saw that it had hurt me that badly. I didn't want him to think that I was weak. I didn't want him to think he could hurt me. I didn't want him to think he was superior. I didn't want him to know that it was true. I didn't want him to know how much I envied him to have everything I couldn't have, and that I could never have.
As he saw my face, his twisted smile grew wilder. I knew that I didn't keep a total neutral face. I knew I saw a bit of all the pain his word had caused me. He walked toward me while I retreated. Soon, my back smacked the wall. I was trapped. He stopped, few inches separating his slender body to mine. I looked up to meet his gaze, still full of hatred.
"You don't even know by what I passed through" I managed to say. I frowned as he laughed demonically.
"You don't even want to tell me" he riposted, teasingly. His twisted smile became a teasing one as the glint of hatred in his eyes began to fade away. I sighed and pushed him away with no results. Frowning, I pushed him with all my strength. To avoid falling, he grabbed my wrist and he only made me fall with him. Except that I had fell on him. I, then, immediately rolled away from him while he laughed. A normal laugh this time, without hatred or anger. His laughter was melodious. It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever heard. But what I think? It was not one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. No way. It was just… It was just pretty much melodious for a guy. Yeah, right. Usually, guy laughed from a grave, weird and disgusting laugh.
I sighed before standing up. He was already up and looked way happier than a few seconds ago. I began to think that he was bipolar. Maybe he was, who know?
"Are you bipolar or something like that?" I asked him, after had looked up at him.
"Maybe yes maybe not." He answered, his arms crossed on his chest. He looked at me teasingly and even stuck his stuck childishly at me before turning around to face the window. I sighed at his childishness. How many will I sighed when he will be around? I sighed a lot in his presence…
Suddenly, he turned to face me, his eyes full of determination.
"What is your name?" He asked me, taking me in absolute surprise.

Len P.O.V.
I waited for her answer as she had her eyes wide. I remember that earlier I had said that nobody called her by her true name. Which was true, because everyone was calling her the beast and was thinking that she was a boy. I was determined to change that fact. Like for all the other I had mentioned.
"M-m-m-my n-na-na-m-e?" She stuttered cutely. My look softened. She looked petrified, her eyes full of disbelief.
"I want to know your name." I repeated softly. It was probably the first time in centuries someone had asked her that. It was also probably the first time in centuries she talked to someone else. She looked at me with disbelief and I nodded to encourage her.
"Miku Hatsune…" She whispered, barely audible. I smiled gently. She looked up at me and took a few steps back before looking down to the floor.
"Miku Hatsune… It's a beautiful name." I said. She looked up once again and a small smile illuminated her face. "It suits you perfectly" I added, making her blush.
I laughed and walked toward her. Arrived in face of here, I pinched her cheek.
"You're so cute when you're blushing!" I stated, causing her to blush even more. She slapped my hand away.
"So, what is your name?" She asked me, still deeply blushing. She was looking to the floor.
"Len Kagamine." I answered. She looked at me startled and after smiled devilishly.
"What a beautiful name, which fits you perfectly!" She declared teasingly, making me blushing. Still, I was happy that she had lost her superior air and that she was capable of some humor.
"Oh! You're cute when you're blushing!" She had mockingly, causing me to blush even more. Look like if it was my turn.
"Shut up…" I answered, still blushing like crazy. She only laughed. A melodious, beautiful laugh which was the most marvellous thing I had never heard. Soon, I joined her in her laughter. We were both laughing, while our blushing decreased.

Miku P.O.v.
I laughed with him. It was the first time in centuries that I had laugh. And it feels good.
"So, how boring it is to live in a castle all alone?" Len asked me, after we had finished laughing.
"Incredibly boring. I have already read my books around, what? One thousand times? I have absolutely nothing to do. No company, nothing." I answered, letting my emotion out. He looked at me with an understanding look.
"Now you have me." He added, smiling insecurely at me. I smiled back at him and he simply hugged me. I hugged him back. First human contact in centuries. Awesome. He let me go after several seconds, which seems too short for me. I will have like to stay in his arm longer, weirdly.
"Do you accept my company or not?" He asked, still insecure. I nodded as my only answer. Len sighed with relief.
"Do you still want to hear why I became like this?" I asked him. The blond simply nodded and sat on the floor.
"All the kids in the village were mocking me. They were always saying that I was ugly, that I looked like a monster. Every day, they bullied me. I had sixteen years old when I decided that it was enough. I went to the library. There were forbidden books, which had curse, spell and other malefic things wrote in it. I simply took one and brought it home. I found a spell which was supposed to transform me in a beautiful beast, a beautiful woman with horns. Then, I cast the spell on myself and from an ugly person, I became a beautiful beast.

I listened attentively to Miku's story. The beginning was sad. Really sad. Nobody deserved to be bullied in the world.
"After, I went to the dining room." Continued Miku. "My mom was standing there, cooking for breakfast. When she saw me, she began to scream. I tried to explain her what I had done but she kept call me a demon. She throws me out of my house. I remember that I had cried, but not too much. I easily get over it. After, I went to the park. All of my bullies were there, along with my twin brother, Mikuo. He recognized me and shouted my name. Then, all of my bullies began to call me a demon or a monster. They even began to punch me and kick me. I ran to hide myself."
"This is horrible" I commented. Miku nodded in approval before continuing her story.
"Later, my brother and his best friend, Rinto Kagamine found me."
I looked up at her, startled. I remembered when I told her my name, how she looked startled.
"He is probably your ancestor." Added Miku, while I nodded. "Well, they didn't name me a demon or a monster. Rinto simply handed me his hand and help me to stand up. They explained that they had a plan, which consisted to build me a fortress. They added that they would bring food and that the door could be lock, like that they would be the only one to can come in. And they do. We built the fortress together, helping each other. I fell in love with Rinto. As soon as the fortress had been finished, I had hid myself in. Rinto or Mikuo would bring me some food, but I discovered that I didn't need to eat. Afterward, they only came to brought me some company. Soon, I began to go out with Rinto, which had loved me since we had met each other in kindergarten. But while I had stayed the same, my brother and Rinto had grown up. And one day, Mikuo died. Rinto was still alive, so he comforted me. Then he died. My first love died, while I was still alive, still young. The only thing left I have from him is this necklace, that he gave me right after that we had finished the fortress. I cried his death 50 centuries long. I had never totally got over it, thought."
"I am sorry…" I said. This was sad. Miku shook her head and smiled sadly.
"It's okay I guess… Anyway, after, I locked myself in the fortress. I had soon become bored. I looked through the window every day and I saw the population evolution. One day, a boy tried to enter by the door. After he had left, I removed the door and two of the three windows. Nobody could have entered after that. I had kept one window to keep my favorite past-time, looking to the human life and evolution. It was truly amazing, I have to admit. Nobody had entered this fortress and nobody knows the complete truth… Until today." She finished.
I whipped away the lonely tear which had rolled on my cheek. Her story was so sad… I don't know if I would have survived to all the pain that Miku had endured.
