CHAPTER 4
From this chapter I will start to add 'Rin POV' or 'Len POV' at the beginning of paragraphs ^_^
LEN POV
'You lost again' – I said.
She quickly dropped her sword to the ground and smirked, raising her hands up: 'I surrender'
Seriously this girl was so hopeless to teach. I tried to tell her how to use every kind of weapon, but she just simply stood there, looking at me with those big innocent eyes and asked : ' Sorry, can you say that again?'
I honestly didn't know what to do.
'Rin, what kind of human are you?' – I threw myself onto the thick grass and sighed – 'You are undoubtedly the most stupid human that I have ever met so far'
'I told you, I will definitely become a hunter'-Rin smiled, lying next to me. 'You are just a horrible teacher, don't have any ability to transform your teaching'
'Really?' – I turned to her and chuckled – 'Do you have any idea how many girls want me to teach them then?'
'Just about ,every one?' – she laughed – 'Wonder how your lessons would go, playboy'
I took a glance at her. She was smiling to the sky, her cheeks puffed in a really cute, childish way. Suddenly I found the urge to tease her a bit. It wouldn't make any harm, right?
'Rin'.-I whispered. Before she even knew it, I was pulling her into a tight hug. She startled but did nothing at all to resist. 'Do you remember what I said to you?'
'You said what?'-she asked.
'That you will be kicked out of here if you don't obey me'- I reminded her. She slowly put her hands on my cheeks, her eyes lid up with amusement.
'Uh, yeah, so what do you want me to do now?'
'Don't move' – I demanded, starting to bury my face into the crook of her neck.
SMACK.
'NEVER, playboy' – she growled, her eyes flared up with anger -'It was true that I promised I would obey you, but I didn't give you any permission to take advantage of me'
'Come on, I didn't even do anything yet' – I mumbled, loosened my grip on her.
'I can imagine what would you do if I didn't stop you, Len' –she stood up- Anyways, let's pretend that it never happened'
She turned her back at me and walked away.
'Wait, where are you going, Rin?' – I sat up, scratched my head.
'To the river. Do you seriously think I am not thirsty and tired at all after those horrible sword practicing you gave me?'
'Let me go with you. The forest is really dangerous'
'Just 2 or 3 minutes and I will come back. Don't worry'
She waved at me and disappeared into the forest. I sat back down on the grass, still feeling a little worried.

RIN POV
I carefully walked on the way to the river, looking around to see if any UTAUloid was there, but found none. The forest was just in complete silence, which I found a bit weird. Usually there were many hunters here.
I sat on the river bank, deepening my face into the water. My reflection appeared among the slight waves, shining under the day lights. It was a golden- hair girl with big blue eyes and soft, silky skin. For some reasons, I had a feeling that I had seen someone with the same appearance like that before. I tried to remember, however, I couldn't have any idea who she was.
Because a sudden headache came out of nowhere, attacked me.
I hugged my head, used the best ability I could have to open my eyes. Everything around me darkened. Unknown annoying noises came and bleeded my ears. My body stopped dead in track, I just couldn't make any move.
I wanted to scream ' HELP!', but to my shock, no sound came out from my mouth.
I collapsed to the ground, my arms wrapping around myself. I knew, in this situation, I was completely weak and hopeless, and a random UTAU may see me and attack me afterwards. I tried to open my eyes again, which wasn't successful. My arms loosened its grip, and I thought I would be unconcious…
'Are you OK?'
Suddenly the headache disappeared. All the noises, all the darkness,… suddenly vanished as well. Opening my eyes, I saw a beautiful girl with long pink hair, looking down at me. Considering her uniform and weapons, I guessed she was a hunter.
'An UTAU was about to attack you, but I have already killed it. I want to see if you are fine'- she said.
I sat up and sighed. Stupid headache. Stupid everything.
'I'm OK' – I replied-' I just had a bad headache. I think last night I didn't sleep enough'
'Oh' – she smiled. – 'Nice to meet you, I'm IA, the 20th ranking hunter of the area. Who are you?'
'Rin. Rin Kagamine. I'm a new comer'
'I heard everyone talk about you. You seem a nice person' – she shook my hand friendly. ' I hope we can be friends'
'Me too' – I nodded.
IA nodded back and smiled. She sat on the ground, looking at the river thoughtfully.
'Rin, do you know the story about this river?' – she asked.
'No, I don't know. I told you, I'm a new comer'
'Well, there is a couple who love each other a lot, but unfortunately, the boy has to move away with his family. The girl is waiting for him, her tears fall down non-stop and becomes the river. She soon dies because of hunger and later, the boy comes back. He finds her dead body on the bank, becomes crazy and then commits suicide. The God is really touched by their love story, he turns them into angels, and they live happily forever'
'…Wow'- I said- ' Nice story'
'That's the reason people say that, if you and your lover come to this river, you two will be together in an endless love'- IA continued, her eyes became, somehow, very sad.
'My lover? I haven't had any yet. What about you?'
IA lowered her head, a tear dropped on her cheek.
'My lover… he died … right here on the river…'
I frozed. I didn't expect that answer from her…
'I'm sorry…'- I whispered, my arms reaching for her shoulders and hugged them. ' You will find your new love soon'

LEN POV
What was stupid Rin doing? It was 10 minutes since she went away, and I started to feel very, very worried.
I decided to go to the forest and found her.
The forest was in complete silence, which I thought was a bit weird. Usually, Miku and some of her noisy friends would go here to hunt UTAUs. I guessed today they went to the other wood, then…
'You will find your new love soon, I'm sure'
Wasn't that Rin's voice? I looked at the river bank. There she was, hugging a strange girl with long pink hair who was crying like a kid. Judging her uniform, maybe she was a hunter. Strange, I thought, I had never seen that girl before…
Wait a minute.
Something was wrong.
The girl slowly raised her hands and put them on Rin's shoulders.
From the fingertips, there were some paws growing.
'RIN!' – I ran up to them, tearing the pink hair girl from Rin –' You are stupid! This is an UTAU!'
The monster moved around crazily, trying to escape my grip, but she couldn't. Who did she think she was? I was a 2nd ranking hunter, after all.
'Len Kagamine' – she called my name, her look directed at me with hatred – 'The one that killed my boyfriend. I will never forgive you'
'I don't care' – I shrugged – ' You are going to lay finger on a human, and I will never forgive that , too. Go to hell'
I raised my sword, ready to cut her head down.
'LEN!' – Suddenly Rin wrapped her arms around me, pulling me back. 'Please don't! Please let her go! I beg you!' – She pleaded with a tearful face.
I was taken aback by that.' Why?'- I asked.
'S…she hasn't done anything to me yet, she just acted nice and friendly to me…Besides, you have already killed the one she loves! Please don't do that to her too!'
I closed my eyes.
That was what 'she' had said 3 years ago…. And the price she had to take was death.
My hands balled into fists.
The head of the pink-hair girl dropped, falling to the ground.
