Seeing you Upon a Golden Moon
People spread out to make room for us. Each bowing their head and mumbling a 'Lord and Lady'. My heart jumps and I cling desperately to Len. Two people stand before us. Len stops a small distance away. My mouth pops open in awe. The women before me had her teal hair up in a bun with what looked like small diamonds littering her hair. Her dress was long and white, with silvery beads and diamonds woven to wrap around her neck and frame her hips. Her porcelain skin complimented her childish looking green eyes. A purplish looking bruise was placed directly below her right eye. She eyes me as does the man next to her. He looked like Len, only his suit was white with silver. His teal hair was smoothed back, away from his face. He had a matching purple bruise under his left eye. Birthmarks. I blink in shock. The room was completely silent.
"My dear old friend, it's so nice to see you again." a the woman coos to me. She smiles widely before rushing at me and pulling me against her. I blink in confusion as she hugs me close. Len's grip slips from mine and I slowly put my hands on her back.
"You look sublime." I breath the compliment. The woman pulls away and laughs as she looks me over.
"And you the same." she answers with a large smile. I glance away and play with my hair.
"I don't really know you.." I mumble. The male chuckles before offering me a hand. I eye it before looking to Len. He looked relaxed. I take the mans hand and he kisses it before rising.
"Rin, this is Miku, my wife." he says, motioning to the the woman as he clasps her hand.
"And this is Mikuo! My husband!" Miku bubbles happily as she leans roughly into him, making him laugh. I blink and the carefreeness is gone as Mikuo's eyes are narrowed. Miku's gaze darts around the room. Len wraps his arms around me quickly.
"Oh dear me. I am afraid I'm a little late." a soft voice says as a tall man steps into the opening. His blonde hair was a softer shade then Len's and his eye was a soft green, like Mikuo's. He was lean and lanky. I blink at him in interest. He wore a simple suit that was completely black, a bandage covered his left eye and left hand.
"Oliver." Len greets curtly. The atmosphere turns icy as Oliver walks towards me. His single green eye trained on me.
"Don't you look stunning. Hm..I really shouldn't be surprised you always do darling." Oliver muses as he offers me a hand. I raise my hand to take his.
"Humph! Is that anyway to treat me?" Miku asks in childish voice. Oliver eyes me a moment longer before turning to Miku. Len laces his arm around my waist and pulls me behind him. I peak around him to watch. Oliver was looming over Miku. Something was different about him.. Mikuo's body easily matches each of Miku's movements with a pose that was ready to attack. I could practically feel Mikuo's aura as Miku places her hand in Oliver's outstretched hand. Oliver chuckles as he pulls at the bandage over his eye. The torn wrap falls to the floor as his pupils expand to cover his eyes completely.
"My dearest Miku. It is a pleasure. However I do believe it's Rin's turn to be fawned over not yours." Oliver muses as he kisses her hand. He rises and Mikuo glares venomously at him. A blood droplet hits the floor.
"Oops." Oliver muses as Miku raises her hand for Mikuo to examine. Oliver turns away from her, his black demon like eyes boring into me. My eyes widen at how...captivating they were.
"How are you this lifetime darling?" he muses. I gasp at him. Under his left eye was half of Miku's birthmark. My eyes fly down to his bandaged hand.
"Oh? So you noticed?" he muses as he picks at the bandage till it breaks free.
"It is very lovely to see you again." he hums lowly as he bows to me.
"Go. Away." Len sneers as he moves to hide me from Oliver's view. I peak around Len's side.
"Len, you are rather weak right now, would you really be willing to die?" Oliver smirks at me as he shows me his hand. My blood runs cold. Half of my birthmark was on his left hand. I gasp.
"It wouldn't be me fighting." Len snaps.
"That's enough. We have come here to greet our returning queen. There will be no fighting." a strong voice says loudly. Oliver rolls his eyes and turns on his heel.
"I greeted our ever loved queen." Oliver sneers back at me before completely walking out of view. Len and I don't move.
"We celebrate!" Mikuo orders as the stiff feeling from before is replaced with excitement. The room fills with chatter.
"Len..? Are you okay?" I whisper. Len turns to look at me sadly.
"I am so sorry Rin, he wasn't invited.." he says quietly.
"Who was that..?" I ask lowly as I glance around the room, trying to find him again. Len shakes his head.
"Not now." he says gently as he leans forward to press his forehead to mine. He takes a deep breath before relaxing slightly.
"Come on, we have to talk to everyone." he says as he takes my hand and leads me through the crowd.

Miku hugs me close before waving at me. Mikuo protectively wraps an arm around her as they head out into the day-breaking morning. The large doors slam shut and I turn back to see Len slumped against the railing of the stairs.
"Len?!" I yelp as I rush towards him.
"I'm exhausted...but I know you won't let me go to bed yet." he grumbles before peaking at me through his bangs. I huff at him as I place my hands on my hips.
"Indeed, I won't. Who was that person?" I ask curiously.
"That? That was Miku and Mikuo...they're the Hatsune's-"
"You know who I'm talking about." I snap. Len sighs at me before pinching the bridge of his nose.
"That...was Oliver. He's the fifth Royal." Len grumbles.
"He was...nice." I muse absently. Len snaps up and looks me over with wide eyes.
"No. He's not. You're falling for his power." Len shakes his head as he stands before me. I open my mouth to snap at Len.
"My followers have gold eyes, the Hatsune's followers have silver eyes. Oliver's vampires have all black eyes. HIS vampires are the ones you are so afraid of. THEY are the murderers." Len sneers.
"But Rei-" I stammer.
"Rei is under MY reign. He would not have killed you. Oliver explicitly orders them to kill people. He finds it FUN. He is very dangerous to you and Miku. Because he holds both of your birthmarks."
"But why does that make him so dangerous?" I ask in confusion.
"Because while I hold your complete birthmark, he holds only half of it. I can't control you for long periods of time because you are my equal. He could control you for a whole lifetime and you wouldn't even realize it." Len says lowly. I frown at him as I bite my lip in thought.
"That doesn't sound so bad.." I muse.
"This. Is why it was dangerous to have this thing. You're a human and easily influenced by Oliver's will. Rin. Oliver controls peoples right and wrong. He sways their mind." Len says as he holds my gaze. I glance away. Len snarls as he grabs my chin roughly before kissing me. My eyes widen in shock as he pulls away.
"Don't you ever think about him like that." Len hisses lowly to me. I blink away the fuzziness before gasping in shock.
"Oliver kills people?!" I breath as I cover my mouth. Len smirks at me.
"Glad to see that you are seeing reason." he says with a relaxed sigh.
"He made me think like that?!" I yelp. Len nods before pulling at my hand quickly.
"You trust me?" he asks in shock. I blink at him as I pull my hand away from his. My birthmark was now a purple color.
"I mean...I guess so.." I breath as I look over the mark.
"Rin.." Len starts.
"So. Next time I see Oliver, he'll do that same thing to me? Why doesn't it effect Miku?" I ask with a frown.
"Yes. And next time he'll do worse. He'll convince you that you can't trust me, or that he's your better soulmate. And...you'll believe him. I can't protect you from him. It doesn't effect Miku because she's a vampire. Mikuo can protect her from Oliver because they are very...attuned to each other." Len says looking away. My eyes widen in horror.
"I take it...he won't just give up on me?" I ask quietly. Len looks at me sadly before shaking his head. I gulp as I look at my feet. Len and I stand in silence.
"I guess...since we're soulmates and all that..." I stammer as I glance at Len. He blinks at me before cocking his head to the side. I bite my lip.
"If I stay human...what will Oliver do to me..?" I ask weakly.
"He isn't kind to humans Rin...he'll completely destroy you. But you won't know...because you'd think that what he is doing is right. You would be in pain all the time...until he finally changed you. After, he would send you on humans..and most likely use you to attack me and the Hatsune's." Len says softly. I gulp. None of those sounded like a good idea. I stare down my dress.
"Then I guess...it'd be better if...I wasn't human." I mutter lowly, knowing Len heard me. He gently captures my chin and lift my head to meet my gaze.
"Rin. Are you sure?" he asks softly. I gulp and look away. I nod quickly.
"Hurry up before I change my mind." I whisper as I start to shake. Len scoops me up as sun breaks through the open windows. He cradles my head against his shoulder as wind rushes past me, my dress twisting in the wind. He skids to a halt and gently places me on a bed. I blink as black spots cloud my vision.
"Sorry...they'll go away soon.." Len promises. I blink away the black spots just as Len's eyes turn gold around the edges. The door and windows slam shut before the curtains are drawn and the door is locked.
"Rin..I would never hurt you on purpose." he promises. My teeth were chattering as I look at him in horror. My heartbeat was ringing in my ears, making it almost impossible to breath.
"I...I..." I stammer. Len looks me over longingly.
"Shh...sh..." he breaths as he leans towards me. I fall back on the bed and Len looms over me.
"I'm scared.." I squeak. Len's hand works at my clenched fists. He laces his fingers through mine before smiling at me gently.
"I know... Don't worry, trust me." he breaths as he gently kisses my forehead. He moves and presses his lips against mine.
"Le-"
"I promised I would never hurt you on purpose." he whispers against my lips before kissing me again. My eyes fall closed as my heart races. Len litters my face, collarbone and shoulders with kisses. He pulls me up easily and sits me on his lap as he kisses my jaw gently. His warm hands support my back as he trails them over my dress slowly.
"What's going to happen..? When you-" I pant.
"Me biting you isn't what hurts." he whispers against my skin, warming it. I pull my fingers through his already messy hair. "What hurts...is going through my memories." he says as he pulls back slightly. There's a soft hissing sound and I gasp. I pull at his hair as he presses me into him. I let out a whimper as I lean against Len's head. My eye lids grow heavy as I feel myself being laid down.

I moan into the pillow as I roll into the covers before nestling down again. I open my eyes to squint at the dark room.
"Good evening." Len whispers softly to me. My eyes widen as I snap up and touch my neck. Six small holes clustered together on my neck.
"Did you-?" I break off as I squint in the darkness. Len was laying on his stomach, his head mostly buried in the pillow.
"No." he mumbles into the pillow. I blink in confusion.
"But you.." I trail off. Len shifts.
"I couldn't take any of your blood. You don't trust me enough. You aren't ready." he sighs.
"But I do trust you!" I yelp.
"No you don't. You can lie but your body can't." he groans into the pillow. I stare at him in shock. Len had been waiting for 100 years to see me again. And when he does...he can't have what he wants.
"How's that feel?" I ask softly. Len laughs darkly.
"Rin. I can only drink your blood. I have been incredibly weak for the last 100 years. Last time Oliver outright murdered you before me. I was completely useless. I attacked him and used up almost all my energy to cripple him. In the end, he got away from me and I had to hold you as you died. Do you know what you said to me?"
"No." I whisper.
"You said..'I'll love you for all eternity, please wait for me.' Every time. That's what really hurts. You've always died. And I've been stuck here. Alone. For thousands of years. You always made me promise to wait for you. You've gotten married, and had children. I've been alone. I've had to watch my soulmate be happy with other men and-" Len growls lowly as he turns to look at me, his gold eyes glowing in the dark.
"I..I'm sorry Len.." I say weakly.
"Still scared of me?" he asks bitingly.
"No...I just misunderstood you...you are hurt. You have all this...hurt built up in you.. But you can't do anything. Because you are a Royal. People look up too you and you watch over them. You can't crack, or break." I breath. Len blinks his golden eyes at me.
"But that's what soulmate's are for, someone you can trust. Someone that knows you aren't okay..someone that can step up for you to take a break. Right?" I ask, smiling sadly at him. Len's eyes widen at me, I blink and he's gone. He gently wraps his arms around my waist and presses his face into my back as he sighs. My back straightens as I let out a stifled gasp.
"I've needed you for so many years. A king is nothing without a queen." he says weakly as he holds me close. I relax and let a small smile curl on my lips. A king admitting he needs someone...no wonder he's behind me...not wanting me to look at him as he admits weakness. I almost giggle at the thought. Len's breath warms my back and I close my eyes.
"You...have me here now." I whisper softly. Len cradles my head to the side. There's that quiet hiss before my neck turns warm. I cry out at the sudden pain. It felt as if I had been stung repeatedly in my neck, a constant pain. Just as quickly as it was there, it was gone. Len pulls away slightly, licking at my neck. I shudder.
"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry.." he breaths against my skin. I blink away the tears.
"Shh..it's okay..." Len promises as he pulls me back against his chest. "Did you change your mind?"
"N-no." I stammer in a shaky voice. Len litters my neck to shoulder with gentle kisses before kissing up to my ear.
"I've needed you so badly Rin, I love you.." he breaths in my ear. Len lets out a hiss that sounded like bees before dropping to my neck. I let out a gasp as Len's fingers brush my shoulder gently. I bite my tongue as my head rolls to the side. Len easily supports it with his other hand and brushes his thumb over my cheek. I lean back against Len roughly. My body felt numb, but it was quickly filled with the feeling of desperateness. I blink lazily. The desperate feeling turns to longing before settling on adoration. I relax into the feeling. My eyes widen as my neck begins to burn, the adoration turns to earth shattering pain. Len's grip on me tightens as panic claws at my throat. My heart races as I try to pull away from Len.
"L-Len." I choke out in a sob. My hand fists the blanket as I grip it tightly before letting out a blood curtailing scream.
Also: please ignore my grammar mistakes.

REVIEWS:
mirrors02 Oh my..I haven't read that series in forever.. There's a special place for people that guess my endings. A very good special place.. HOWEVER..I feel as though I really out did myself with how this is going to end... c;
Crystal Prower: O Yes! Finally meeting Miku and Mikuo. I believe you should write a supernatural/adventure.. but that's just because I am not much of a horror fan...
Treble and Bass: Ah haha..I'm glad you're enjoying all the RinxLen fluff...there wasn't much of a fight..so I threw in some fluff at the end c:
Mew SunsetStar:I'm debating on whether or not she should be turned back into one or not.. :/ there's so much I have to cover...that Rin shouldn't be a vampire for...and it is so..upsetting..
Oranssi-Rin: ohgosh I am so glad..I will get around to finishing it...most likely after all these are re-written. Yea...all my stories I wrote...had rather weak endings..to the point that I didn't have them planned out..which made them all even worse.. ;;; I hope everyone is enjoying the new take on this story.. /(TTwTT)/ I must say I am rather disappointed though..a lot of the well known Kagamine writers disappeared...along with a lot of readers...when I first posted this story..I had over 9 reviews and 2,000 views on the first chapter alone...I don't know if it's because the writers have grown up and moved on to other things...or because Vocaloid isn't nearly as popular anymore... ^^; oh well. either way, I plan on re-writing everything..maybe put up one more story...before calling it quits myself...
