Seeing you Upon a Golden Moon
I suck in a quick breath as I stumble backward. Len looks me over with sad blue eyes. I point an accusing finger at him. He sighs and rolls his eyes before imitating me.
"That's impossible!" we say at each other. My eyes widen as Len quirks his eyebrows at me in challenge. I huff and Len does the same.
"Get out of my head!" We snap at each other.
"You are being completely ridiculous!" We yell at each other as I take a step forward.
"Stop- You!" My face grows red in annoyance and Len wrinkles his nose at me. I open my mouth to continue.
"That's completely impossible! We are nothing a like! We just met how can you say something like that too me?! I am lady! Even if you are a monster you should at least respect me!" he says in a failed attempt to sound like me. My eyes widen in shock as I gap at him. Len sighs and muses his bangs as he closes his eyes.
"Obviously. We've had this conversation before." he muses as he moves to pick at the bandage on his chest.
"I..you...this..." I stammer as I try to pull my thoughts together. Len purses his lips as he glances down at the bandage before ripping through it easily.
"I was unsure at first. Usually...when you are reborn, you are close to me. A maid, a noble.. but this time.. you are completely human. And to top it off, I had no idea who you were. If I hadn't been out walking...we might have just missed each other." Len muses as his fingers flutter over the purple scar on his chest.
"I..." I start. Len glances at me and smiles softly.
"Granted. This time was different because you usually stabbed me after we talked about this...you stabbed me before." he winces.
"I...sorry..." I moan sadly as I eye him. Multiple scars littered Len's chest.
"I know you are..." he says as he shakes his hair out before standing. I take a step away from him and he licks his lips.
"I won't hurt you Rin.." he sighs. "I can't."
"Well you could.." I start hesitantly, I blink and Len is looming over me. His blue eyes meet mine as he captures my chin and raises it up.
"Rin. We...have been together for quite a while. We were destined to be. Right now, you are human. Your birthmark is soft, a blemish." Len's fingers trail down to my neck. I gulp as he pulls his hand away to take my hand. My soft birthmark that was shaped like a blood splatter. It was a few shades darker then my skin tone, it looked more like dirt then a birthmark.
"When you are like me, it'll become a deep purple. It'll be very noticeable, and it is meant to be. It shows that.." Len gently moves my hair out of my eyes. "You are taken..and if someone was planning to harm you..they'd have to go through me." I was mesmerized as Len's fingers traced my birthmark. His words matching the soft and gentle motions.
"If one of us were to die. The birthmark would go back to being barely noticeable. At that time...we will have been so close, that what ever one of us feels...so would the other." Len whispers as his hand clasps mine. I blink quickly before meeting his gaze. His eyes were sad as he looks at me.
"It hurts?" I breath.
"It hurts very badly." he answers back as he drops my hand and steps away. I quickly grab at his left hand and lift it up. The same birthmark as mine.
"You're...not lying?" I ask cautiously. Len sighs before pulling his hand away from mine.
"No." he answers easily. My thoughts were a mess. I didn't know what I thought of all this.
"What? Not happy to see me?" I force a laugh as I put my hands on my hips. Len's face twists into a small smile.
"I always am happy to see you." he muses as he sits on his bed.
"You don't seem like it." I grumble.
"Rin...I've watched you die thousands of times. I am very happy to see you. However, every lifetime I have the choice of telling you all this. I've only done that 30 times." Len sneers, showing his long fangs. "And everytime you end up dying in my arms. You seem so much happier when I just, let you live your life out."
"Are you saying those 30 times weren't good?" I ask curiously. Len sighs, his fangs pulling back.
"Out of all that. That is what you are curious about?" he asks eyeing me. I roll my eyes at him.
"Well. All those other lives don't effect me now. Only those 30 do. They're the only important ones...if they were even real." I say, frowning at him. Len blinks at me.
"Even real..." he laughs softly at me. I pout, I blink and Len is standing before me with a large book. I gap at him.
"When did you...?" I ask.
"You can't see me when I move...not yet that is. Here." he offers me the open book. I frown as I eye the aged page.
"What's this?" I ask.
"When we first met." he muses.
"This is dated back to the 1600's." I say suspiciously. Len eyes me before wincing.
"You don't speak...yes. Okay." he flips through a couple pages.
"This...was our most recent life together." he says sadly. I scan the page.
"This was 100 years ago." I say before starting back at the top. I clear my voice.
"Dear future me. I pray that you haven't stabbed Len yet. If you have...he has already forgiven you. His patience is one of his many virtues. You can trust him. I promise you this. He won't hurt you, or let anything harm you. In this life time I was born of a human and vampire. Len and I met when I started attending to him as a maid. He completed the change and I was turned to a full vampire. I will not lie to you. For you are myself. The change does hurt. I wish on my lucky stars that next time we are a vampire already." I stop, and finger through the pages. The entry continued on, and on. Until finally elegant cursive broke the normal handwriting. There was a scrawled date and some words beneath it. I eye the book before looking at Len. His gaze meets mine. I purse my lips at him in thought. Multiple questions claw at me.
"I'm not saying I believe you." I start.
"I wouldn't dream of it." he mumbles. I narrow my eyes at him before continuing.
"One, why would the change hurt? Two, why do you talk like I am the only one to die? Three, what is this thing that makes you Royal?" I ask holding up three fingers.
"One, because I more or less take all your human blood out and replace it with my blood. Other things take place, but I don't want to scare you. Two, because you are. You are the only one of us to die. Three, the fact that I cannot die, and neither can you. Along with what I can do." Len pinches the bridge of his nose.
"What can you do?" I ask suspiciously. He pulls his hand away to expose his golden eyes. He holds his hand out to me.
"Rin, come here." he says, I blink at him. His voice sounded like warm honey, my eyelids droop. I walk towards him absentmindedly.
"Now why don't you sit down on the bed." he murmurs. My skin felt warm and fuzzy as I sit next to him on the bed.
"Trust me. Rin, rest your head on your shoulder." Len says. My eyes widen as my head falls to the side. I struggle against myself. I couldn't move. I was motionless. Len makes a hissing noise before falling back on the bed. My head snaps up and I turn to glare at him.
"I wouldn't have done anything." he promises tiredly as he looks at me with blue eyes.
"What makes that so special?" I demand. Vampires had been known to put people under spells to get them to offer their neck.
"When the four of us are together. Remember now, I can control motions and movement. Miku controls voices and Mikuo controls emotions." Len says as he relaxes against the bed. I frown at him.
"You control looks and illusions. Those are our..major gifts. We are very dangerous together. When we are together, we can easily over throw whatever government, lifestyle or person we want. For example. If someone was trying to kill the four of us, we could make an army of people that looked, acted, talked and emotionally were us. We'd easily be able to kill the threat before it killed us." Len explains slowly. I blink in shock at him.
"Oh." I mutter.
"However, the noble vampire government spilt us up. Long ago we use to live with Miku and Mikuo, back when we ruled over the vampires. We are now split up to keep everyone safe. The two of us together wouldn't be able to case much trouble, and neither could the Hatsune's." Len sighs. I frown in thought.
"But you said there was four...not including you...who's this other person?" I ask. Len opens his eyes and looks at me.
"You must be tired. This was a lot to take in...you should try to get some sleep." he says softly as he sits up. I frown at him for ignoring my question. I cross my arms defiantly at him as I narrow my eyes at him. He sits up and quirks an eyebrow at me as his eyes fade from blue to gold.
"If you don't want to move..." he offers. My eyes widen as I push off the bed and take a step back before dropping my arms. I take a quick breath before leaning in to Len's face. His eyes widen as the gold fizzles out to be replaced with blue.
"What are you doing..?" he asks slowly. I relax and let my breath out.
"Testing something..anyway..I'm going to bed. Goodnight Len." I murmur as I turn on my heel.
"Goodnight Rin.." he says softly from behind me as I walk out of his room.
o3o
I lazily roll over before slowly opening my eyes. The room was wrapped in darkness, only the soft sound of crickets reached my ears. With a yawn I sit up and pull my fingers through my hair. Heaven only knows what time it was. I glance down at the dress I was wearing and wince. After I reached my room last night I was too exhausted to change. I was asleep before my head even touched the pillow. My eyes slide over to the door to find a soft yellow glow coming from behind it.
"Means that they're up." I muse to myself as I push off my bed and step onto the floor. I quickly make my way to the door and slowly open it. There's the sound of glass shattering and I jump in shock before rushing out of my room. I make a quick left and follow the way Luka and Teto always go to the kitchen. There's a snarl and I shoved through the double kitchen doors. Maids brush past me, looking away. I push into the dinning room and gasp. The windows that reached from the floor to the high ceiling were all shattered with spiderweb cracks in them. Kaito and Ted were standing before Len.
"You are putting her in danger! I can not protect her while she is like this! If HE is there she will be put in more danger then I can protect her from. Call it off NOW!" Len snarls lowly, his fangs fully exposed. Kaito shifts uncomfortably as Ted sighs at Len. The marble floor underneath Len cracks. I glance between the two. If Len and I have been together. I stumble forward towards Len.
"Stop!" I yelp as I stand before Len, blocking Kaito and Ted. His gold glare meets my even blue gaze.
"Rin. Move." he hisses lowly. I stand tall before him.
"No."
"Rin, you don't understand-"
"Then help me to understand." I say gently. Len folds, he blinks away the gold and sighs.
"Kaito. Ted. Get out." Len snaps as he looks behind me at them. I couldn't hear anything but I know they're gone as soon as Len relaxes.
"What don't I get?" I ask softly.
"I can't protect you...as you are.." he says, looking away. It obviously hurt to say it to me.
"Why not?" I ask in confusion. Len pushes his bangs back from his forehead as he sighs.
"Because you're a human. I could so very easily hurt you. Your body can't handle as much as mine can." he says softly as he glances at me. I force a smile although what he said was dark.
"I trust you...to keep me safe." I say gently. Len winces as he looks me over.
"I can't change anything now. You might as well go get dressed...to look presentable."
"Now..?" I blink in shock. Len massage his forehead.
"Yes...everyone should be here shortly." he says. I gap.
"B..but what...? There's no food- or-" I stammer.
"The maids have been working all day...had I noticed..I would have stopped them and taken care of everything. I am sorry Rin." Len murmurs. I shake my head.
"N..no, it's okay.." I mumble. Len offers me a clipped smile.
"Go get dressed Rin. Luka and Teto will help you." he says as he turns away from me.
o3o
I gulp as I stare at myself in the mirror. Luka was busily fluffing out my layers.
"I...I can't do this..." I felt sick.
"Just relax.." Teto says softly. The dress I was in looked magnificent. It was black, and sleeveless. The cloth ruffled around my chest and was pulled together around my hips by a patch of gold bead work. The cloth cascaded out from under the bead work and swirled around my feet, trailing behind me. Teto fastens a gaudy gold neck less around my neck. She quickly presses it flat against my collar bone so it fanned out. They step away from me to look at their handy work. I gulp away. My hair was swept up into a bun, loose curls fell around my face.
"You look so..." Teto falters. Teto, who always had the word for everything.
"Elegant." Len says softly. I turn quickly and almost fall as my dress twists around my legs. Len's by my side, supporting me. He was dressed in a black suit, it was lined with gold. His hair was messy as ever, but his crimson ribbon was exchanged for a black one. I glance in the mirror as Len helps with my dress. We matched each other perfectly.
"You look nice too.." I murmur as I gather up my dress so I could walk. Len offers me a stiff smile before relaxing.
"Come on Rin, it's our turn." he says softly as he offers me his arm. I glance at his blue eyes before linking my arm with his. He leads me forward and I clink after him on my heels. He makes a right turn, toward the side of the estate I had never been in. I strain my ears to hear idle chatter. My legs were shaking as we near a brightly lit doorway.
"Don't let me fall." I plead. Len chuckles at me.
"Calm down Rin. I won't let you fall." he promises as we step through the door. The room goes silent. I release me dress so it falls against the floor. Len's head was held high and I attempted to do the same.
"Rin and Len Kagamine." a loud voice says introducing us. The room jumps into applauds as Len leads me down the stairs to join the crowd of people. His grip on me never once lessening.
