~~This story was supposed to have 14 chapter or so... But I've written more than that... Ah...
Disclaimer: Go back to the previous chapter and read the disclaimer.
The teal haired girl just laughed hearing her friend's statement, "I've said that…"
"But Miku, that's completely unfair!" The yellow haired girl protested.
"Yeah, you just can't deal with that guy…" The teal haired girl known as Miku said.
"You don't know his name?" The yellow girl asked.
"Of course I know that Kamui Gakupo-san…" Miku said.
"Eh? His name is strange…" She said truthfully.
"Shoot, better preparing." Miku warned the yellow girl.
"When we're leaving, anyways?" The yellow girl asked.
"Tonight, thinking that the portal just opened at night…"
"Tonight you said? Crap, all things just turned worse for me…"
Chapter 4
"Oranges." Rin said, throwing some oranges to the small fruit basket on the table.
"Oranges." He repeated.
"So… Say… How should I call you? I just can't say 'you' just like this…"
"I have no idea."
"…Well…" Rin started, "Because you look freaking like me, so I'll just call you 'My look alike'! How's that?"
"…Too long."
"Ah, you're right… So then… Think of that, I've always imagined that I have a male counterpart, and yeah, he should be looks like you! So then, you're 'The male Rin'!"
"I am not you, either…"
"Bah! You're right again. Well then, my name is Kagamine Rin, usually called Kagamine-san, Kagamine-chan, Rin-chan, or just Rin—don't add orange to the list—so then, a male me should be called something like 'Kagamine-kun'. How's that?" Rin smiled surely.
"That is better but I am going to repeat that I am not you or you might say 'Male Rin'…"
"Okay, so… Kagamine-kun… You're Kagamine-kun, then. Better get used with that."
"Eh?"
Rin's phone beeped, she grabbed the little yellow thing and opened the new mail.
From: Teto
"Actually what kind of trouble managed to go away? –Teto"
Rin giggled a bit, then replying the mail.
To: Teto
"No, he's not going away, still here ww -Rin"
But she realized something that was (indeed) very wrong in that sentence so she chose to delete all of it.
"No, the trouble is still here ww -Rin" And she pressed the send button.
The answer came out not so long after that.
From: Teto
"…Congratulations? –Teto"
To: Teto
"You know that you should congratulate me ww -Rin"
From: Teto
"Anyway, Rin… I'm going to do some shopping tomorrow? Want to go as well? –Teto"
To: Teto
"Of course ^^ -Rin"
From: Teto
"…But I thought that you're going to visit your parents' grave? I'm okay by myself –Teto"
To: Teto
"OH SHIT I FORGOT –Rin"
To: Teto
"It's okay, I'll go after visiting, don't have anything to do... –Rin"
From: Teto
"Eh? Your trouble? Managed to fetch it? ww –Teto"
To: Teto
"Think of it, I might—"
"Hey, Kagamine-kuuuun!" Rin called loudly. "Want to go to my parents' grave? Or shopping?"
"Eh?" He asked back, a little louder than usual (and that 'Little loud' is still low).
"Visiting grave or shopping?"
"E… Eh… Just do whatever you want… Eh?"
"Don't say that you don't know what a grave is or what is shopping!"
"I know what a grave is, though… But shopping… Go to shop for something?"
"Erm, it doesn't mean exactly like that, but I'll take that as a 'Yes'!"
"—bring along my trouble ww –Rin"
She closed the flap of her phone, and headed to the living room.
"You sure you're okay with that?" Rin asked.
"I am sure because I do not get the meaning of it." Kagamine replied.
"Argh." Rin face palmed again. "Okay, so… Me, you and my friend are going to shop for some things like clothes, CD, and yah, many more."
"Just to warn you that I am not a girl, Kagamine-san."
"I know that! Wait, you're calling me 'Kagamine'? You're a Kagamine as well!"
"A made-up-one. I do not even know my real name." He said.
"Aw, don't be like that, you'll know sooner…" Rin said in some strange tone.
That make the male Kagamine became suspicious of her.
"I'm going to sleep now…" Rin said, "Even though I don't feel sleepy at all," She muttered. "You can sleep at the guest room like yesterday."
"Okay?"
"Okay… Yeah, by the way, what time did you woke up this morning?"
"Time?" He asked back.
"…I've thought that asking this will just become useless…" Rin said, "Time, something that always flows and won't stop. They can't be reversed, anyways…"
"Cannot be? That is… Terrible." He said.
"Nothing terrible with the time!" Rin shouted, "And the clock, there, is the thing that tell you the time."
"Uh yes?" He replied unsure-ly.
"Clock, yes. And then, that kind of thing that you wear on you wrist called watch."
"Hm."
"Then, how to read it… See the long-thing-whatever it called? Yeah, if the short one points to the, example, number 4, so it's 4, the time, four." Rin continued, though unsure about her way of explaining.
"I see."
"And then, the long one, if it points to the, example again, one, that means 5 minutes… Add… To the… Short one?" She trailed off, unsure.
He didn't say anything after that, so Rin assumed that he…
Didn't understand.
"Okay okay!" Rin finally said. "I can't explain at people well so let's just look at the square thingy there," She pointed to a digital clock, "and just read whatever number are there."
"So… That thing also tells the terrible time?" Kagamine said.
"I've said that time is not terrible," She sighed, "the answer is yes so let's just sleep now~!" And with that, she shoved him into his 'current room'.
"Goodnight and have a nice dream!" Without even looking to the extremely confused person who was shoved in, Rin closed the door and walked to her own room, sighing.
"Problem is a problem, indeed."
"Soooo, then Kagamine-kun, wake up and do something." Rin called loudly in front of the guest room door. Rin used to be a morning person, she could sleep until very late night, though.
"May I ask what do you mean by that something, Kagamine-san?" He asked with head popped out from the door.
"Duh, told you to not call me Kagamine, it's Rin. And that something is taking bath, changing clothes, have a breakfast and yeah, preparing." Rin said, tried to be patient.
"Breakfast?" Kagamine tilted his head in confuse.
"Don't tell me that you didn't eat yourbreakfast yesterday… And lunch." Rin eyed him suspiciously.
"Lunch?"
"Gah! Breakfast, eating at the morning and lunch, eating at the noon! You didn't eat anything yesterday morning and afternoon?" Rin said in disbelief.
"…I did not."
"I still don't get your way of… Living." She muttered. "So, just take a bath and change your clothes to this," She shoved a pair of T-shirt and jeans out of nowhere, "people will think you're a ghost or something un-living if you go out in that. And one more thing."
He turned his head to face her.
But she went to his back and…
"I just realized that you use a ribbon to tie up our hair." Rin said darkly and not so long after that she jerked his hair (or the ribbon).
"That hurts."
"And tie it up using something more… Better like rubber band or something like that." Rin said, ignoring his words. "And by the way, how could you say something like 'That hurts.' with that expression? You should be looking more, you know, pained."
"Pained…" He ended up digging the meaning of the word so Rin pushed him.
"Just go!"
After minutes passed (plus some yelling, of course), both of them were well-prepared and now walking to the destination. It's just Rin wearing a huge, white bow on her head and Kagamine (the male one) looked better and less ghostly than before.
But Rin still think that he's some sort of creepy and that creeps her out a bit.
"Um, you know Kagamine-kun…" Rin said something to start the conversation, avoiding the awkward silence, "I… said that I will help you to… Um, remember so then… Eh… It's like you know… That…" Rin stopped herself, knowing that she's getting nowhere to the point of the talk. "Ah yes!" She suddenly continued, "What is the first thing you realized like… After you 'appeared' in my house?" She used the air quotes.
"Just that," He replied, "I don't remember anything happened before that."
"Including like your… Erm, personal things such as name, birthday and the other blah-blah?" She asked again.
"…Yes." He said quietly.
And Rin hates that (to be honest, she's scared).
"Well… It's hard eh, since we don't have any clues, at all…" She smiled so sudden, "It's up to you then, but at least try to remember, even just one thing…"
And the male Kagamine just thought that 'Rin with smile' was somewhat scary for him while replying, "Okay." without thinking.
"And yes, here we are." Rin said, smirk on her face.
Now they were standing in front of some grave.
"…All of them are your parents?" He asked out of the situation.
"Of course no! My parents were only two!" Rin hissed.
And they engulfed in silence.
"Ah, the story is…" Rin started, "I was just 6 when they died, so I didn't really feel how to lose someone important on your life… That's when…" She giggled, "I was mad at them because they didn't buy me the toy that I want, so I forced them to buy oranges…" She looked up to the perfect blue sky, "I just didn't know that that will be the last time I saw them and… Yeah, after that, they didn't come home of course. So, my aunt came to my house and telling me something while she cried and… I still didn't understand the meaning of death back then and I didn't feel sad at all. I even attended to their funeral where people cried. Years passed and after 1 or 2 years, I understand that I've lost my main family and… I cried." She looked back at the grave, "It didn't last long though, I could accept their death and I live like… Alone." She finished her story.
"I don't know why I'm telling you this… But then, I'm used to that…" Rin said.
"But you feel lonely." He said out of sudden, successfully received wide-eyed look from Rin.
"You know it." She whispered.
"I know that." He replied, in small voice as well.
"But I'm not that lonely, I have friends on school!" She smiled brightly, no evil aura from her.
And that was rare.
"Hehe… I'm all okay by myself here mom, dad… So don't worry!" She began to 'talk' to the grave while the male Kagamine just stared at her questioningly.
After that, he began to look around the graveyard. Then, his eyes stuck on a single grave. He stared at it.
"Um, Rin-san, may I ask something?" He asked.
"Yeah of course!" She answered brightly.
"You said you only had 2 parents, and may I ask whose grave is that, on the right?" He asked her carefully.
"Of course I only had 2 parents…" Rin mumbled, "That one? Kagamine Len? I don't know though… The surname is the same… Eh, maybe some relatives or… Yeah well, maybe my brother!" Then Rin stopped. "Sorry, ignore me, I always wished to have one… But honestly I don't know. Why do you ask?"
"Um, that… Just curious." He said, eyes still glued to the grave. He was sure that he ever heard that name before, it was incredibly familiar to him.
"Oh…" Rin said, giving a single response. But after that she realized something, "Eh? Do you remember something?"
He just kept staring at the grave, not saying a thing. Rin could tell that he's thinking deep inside.
"You know him, maybe? Like, that Len is your… Something or somebody or… Well… Like that?" Rin said between happy, concerned, curious and worried.
"Ah… Len is…"
"Len is what?" Rin asked in enthusiasm.
"…a name…" He said and made Rin face palmed.
"I… I know that as well…" Rin said in a disappointed tone.
"Eh, no… My…" And he looked even more confused.
"…your what?" Rin was getting impatient. She made a note to herself to be more patient.
"…name…" He muttered lowly.
"…I… really don't understand," Rin said. Well, that was the truth, "You're confused and I'm even more confused but…" Rin 'activated' the random mode in her head, "Let's just combine them to… Your name?"
Silence.
"My name…" He repeated. "My name?"
Rin got it. His name, "Hey, say your name…"
He tilted his head to a side, currently searching for the answer. It took a while, but he said it anyway.
"Len."
