Hidden Behind the Light
Chapter 7: Brothers?
"So Miku…What did you want to talk about?" Can't blame me for the awkward silence.
Miku who seems to be lost in her thoughts looks up with a blank expression. "Oh….right."
Closing her eyes she inhales the air around her calmly and exhales. "Did you see the cover of this week's issue of ML magazine?"
Where is she getting to?
"Umm...no." Her gaze shifts to me then at her purse. Pulling out a magazine she gives me a smile and points at the cover.
Hmm...Now what could be so wrong it's just me and Rin making out…Wait? What? MAKING OUT?
…No just no.
"Oh…this..isn't what it looks like." This is far from it.
"Oh really?"
"Yes really."
Pursing her lips Miku shakes her head and comes to a stop.
"Alright I won't push the matter any further." Taking big steps Miku walks along the mall's endless hallways.
"Miku…" I murmur.
[No One's P.O.V]
"Hey Meiko is it okay if I bring over some guests to stay for the week?" Hope was written all over Kaito's face as his dark blue orbs gaze at the brunettes figure.
"Sure but I'm not cooking for them." Slicing some tomatoes Meiko throws them into a large green bowl and sets it on the counter.
A growl escapes Kaito's lips as he glares at the bowl.
"They haven't even arrived yet and they're already getting special treatment."
SLAM!
"What does that mean?" Are you saying I'm a bad cook?"
"N-no"
"Good. Now, when are your guests arriving?" Grabbing a white towel off the rack Meiko wipes her hands on it and throws in some random direction.
"If I remember correctly they should be here in about 5 to 10 minutes."
"FIVE TO TEN MINUTES? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER? I NEED TO CLEAN THE WHOLE ENTIRE HOUSE AND MAKE MYSELF LOOK HOTTER! DO YOU THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT IN 5 TO 10 MINUTES?"
"Since when have you been hot?"
BAM!
"Shut up and get go clean the guest rooms, after all you are responsible for every little mishap that happens during their stay." With that Meiko heads to her room to change and what not.
Meanwhile Kaito is still laying on the floor with this face on: T^T
[With Len and Rin] [Len's P.O.V.]
"UGH! I knew those pictures were going to be used like this!" Rin paces back and forth on the soft, bright green grass.
"I know, I know…those pictures are ruining our lives!" Rin's gaze wanders somewhere else.
"Who exactly are you? This is private property which means you're trespassing."
Two guys stand before us. They look familiar though.
"You guys are here!" Ooo now I know who they look like…
"Kaito. So you're girlfriend still playing hard to get?" A redhead with the same outfit as Kaito except there is red where the blue is.
Heading over to my direction he looks me straight in the eye and smirks. "She's kind of cute."
My left eye starts to twitch uncontrollably. Curse my female features….
"Yeah! I'm not Kaito's girlfriend why? BECAUSE I'M A GUY AND I'M NOT JUST KIND OF CUTE I'M HELL OF A CUTE!" A shocked expression is now visible on that bas-(language Len) I mean guy's face. Tch, calling me a freaking girl. I mean what makes you think I'm a girl? Besides the female eyes, long eyelashes, smooth pale skin, my round female face, my well groomed ponytail and my yellow (manicured) nails.
….Oh god. Note to self: stop spending too much time with Miku and Rin.
"Oh sorry." A nervous and awkward chuckle emits from Kaito.
"No that's not her, I mean even if Len was a girl he's to flat chested." EW. I rather stay a guy thank you.
"EXCUSE ME FOR BEING A BOY!" Watch, I bet Rin is going to start giggling and or make a disturbing, awkward, annoying or annoying disturbingly awkward comment.
Giggles.
3….
2…
1…
"Well Lenny you are a bit more in touch with your feminine side then the other male vocaloids, well besides Gakupo." THERE IT IS.
[With Gakupo]
Purple hair graced the floor as a brush attacks is smoothening its long locks.
"ATCHOO!" Grabbing a soft tissue from his vanity and giving a nice soft blow, Gakupo looked up to face the mirror.
"Someone must be either talking or thinking about me." Closing his eyes he licked his dry lips. "Mmm..Luka-san" Too bad his guess was way off.
[Back with Rin, Li-Len, Kaito and the 2 strangers]
"Gakupo? The one, who likes to wear a lot of purple, has long hair that is possibly longer than Miku's, wears a skirt dress thing and carries a fan."
"Ok! Ok! You are a bit manlier than Gakupo."
"A bit? The guy wears a dress! A DRESS!" I yell waving my arms for emphasize.
"Technically it's a jinbaori and armor."
"WHO CARES? Put your hand down Kaito. IT'S A DRESS. "
"Fine you're manlier than Gakupo. Happy?"
"No. That's not much of an accomplishment. I mean for all we know Gakupo can be a girl who fails at cross-dressing or something." Kaito raises his hand again.
"What?" My patience was running thin with these people.
"I need to go pee." Damn my eye is twitching again.
"Well then go."
"Nope I'm good now."
Rin who is standing right next to him suddenly pops out next to me. "EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM KAITO!"
"Am I still not manlier than Kaito Rin?" Rin shakes her head and sighs.
"That's sad three guys in the house and the only manly one is Meiko and she's a girl."
"That's messed up Rin." What's this weird tugging feeling on my head?
"Your hair is so soft and smooth!" What the?
…
This guy is creeping me out now.
"Umm thank you?" Great now I feel a hand going further down. Wait. THAT IS A HAND GOING DOWN MY BACK.
"Get away from me you pedophile!" Slapping his hands away I take a few steps back.
The rapist redhead gives me a wink and smirks. "I'm not that old for your information."
Mumbling a few curses I glare at him with all my might.
"Who are you anyways and why are you here?"
"Isn't it obvious? We're Kaito's brothers."
….Oh...My…God…there's more of it?
"B-brothers?"
"Yup. I'm Akaito and that's Taito."
Taito?
"Taito? I don't see anyone but you." Rin states looking around. I guess she didn't see him either.
"Right here." Another guy comes out from the shadows and I can't tell what he's feeling. His hair is purple but it's darker then Gakupo's but it's styled just like Kaito's. An eye patch covering his left eye and he's wearing the same thing as Kaito and Akaito except the the blue part is purple and the white is black, it was left open exposing his bandaged chest and he isn't wearing a muffler. His head, neck arms and hands are also covered in bandages. Blood stained the bandages.
"Dude you got a little blood on you." Rin points out.
"Oh? Where?"
"EVERYWHERE! NOW COME IN AND LET ME CHANGE THOSE BANDAGES." Pulling him inside Rin signals us to come inside as well.
As Akaito passes by me I feel him smack my butt before giving me a grin. That little perv.
THONK
"So who is going to explain why you're here."
"That would be me." Akaito speaks up. Of course the perv has to speak.
"Alright then enlighten me."
"Well you all know about Crypton yes?"
Crypton?
"Umm no actually I don't."
"Lenny you big dum-dum Crypton is the organization we work for just like Utau." Rin speaks leaning on one of the walls.
"Oh so that's who we ship the sirens to for safe keeping?"
Akaito nods before continuing. "Yup. That's the one. Anyways the leader of Crypton, Leon, sent us here to help you guys out."
"Leon? Why would he do that?" This time it's Kaito's turn to speak.
"That would be where I come in oh so dumb one, see; I sent a message to Leon informing him about Utau."
Akaito nods and keeps going picking up where Kaito left off. "He also found out that this place is where the siren are mostly popping out."
"Oh so you guys were sent here to help us am I right?"
"Yup."
"Alright."
"Len-kuun~ Rin-chan~" Miku makes her way towards us with a grin on her face.
Akaito seems to notice her too as a perverted grin etched its way on to his face.
Oh hell no.
"Miku-chan? What do you need?"
"Simple fight a siren that's right outside the mall." She replies her grin never leaving her face.
"Well let's go and capture it before Utau does."
Soon we're all outside the mall with our gear on, weapons at hand.
"My very first time capturing a siren with you kiddos how fun." Akaito grins.
"If you don't mind me asking Akaito-kun where are your weapons?" Miku asks sweetly with a slight embarrassed blush. Akaito smirked in response and not the cocky smirk the perverted kind.
"Of course I wouldn't mind a lady as gorgeous as you to ask me that!" That little perv.
Miku slightly blushes at the compliment before Akaito continues. "Anyways Taito and I don't need weapons and don't use them unless necessary we rather use our powers."
"So you don't have a weapon then?"
THUMP THUMP
"Shit it's here!" I yell taking a few steps back.
A screech makes its way into our ears. Akaito and Taito seem unaffected by the loud sound while the rest of us are actually covering our ears.
"Well better capture it and before it gets away too." Quickly in a swoop of his hand a bright red beam floats in front of us kind of like the light part of a light saber.
"What in the name of hell is that?" Reaching out to touch the beam Akaito slaps my hand away. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"Why? I mean come on it's just a little light."
"Well that little light can cut through you like butter."
"Pfft you're lying!" Reaching out again I touch the light on to get burnt by it.
"GAH! It burns!" I yell holding my hand closely to my chest.
"LEN!" Rin and Miku scream out simultaneously.
Miku grabs my hand and inspects it.
"Looks like a minor bruise but you won't be able to fight with that hand." Greeeaaat this day keeps on getting better!
"Fine I guess I'll stand by Rin for now."
"Rin and Len?" Akaito asks with a shocked face.
"Nah she's Jessie and I'm James. Anyways, what about our names?" He opens his mouth to speak but the siren crashes into him before he has the chance.
"PERVERTED PEDOPHILE DOWN!" I yell trying not to laugh.
"Great! Now we lost both the shota and the pervert!" Wow. Rin is such an awesome sister.
"Yeesh you're saying it like I died or something and put the magazine down! We are trying to fight a siren that can destroy this place if possible!"
"Well yea we are but since I'm not going to fight because I'm stuck babysitting you two! I got to have something to entertain myself with!" Taking a sip of her orange juice box she lazily flips her magazine to the next page.
Lazy sis..Anyways let's see how the others are doing.
Well Kaito is getting his butt whooped and in a bad but epic way must I say.
Taito is well, where is he? Oh there he is! He's just standing there with a psychotic look on his face, nothing new and Miku is trying to fight but Kaito keeps playing hero and blocks her way.
Wait a second…since when is Kaito so brave? Oh well. Wait again! Taito with a psychotic face? Ok I take back what I said that's something new!
"Kaito-kun! Just let me get a hit on it!" Miku whines from behind Kaito.
"No because –pant- if you –pant- do –pant- -pant- then you'll get hurt and then –pant- I'll be –pant- sad."
Pfft poser.
Miku flashes Kaito a smile then gives him a brief hug before taking out her staff and hits the siren on the upper left part of his head with it.
Did I forget to mention that the siren is huge? It's taller than the last one (Rin told me how tall it was)?
The siren roared (Yes roared) and seethed in anger by the hit. Its giant hand came down and smacked Kaito. (Haha!) Anyways Kaito is like flying so fast right now.
"Well it's all up to Miku-chan now." Rin mutters taking another sip of her orange juice.
"Yup that's what that idiot Kaito gets for playing hero and not letting his other teammates get a hit on the target. Wait. YOU GO HELP HER!"
Crushing the orange juice box and throwing it over her shoulder Rin sighs and looks at me. "Didn't I already explain this to you?"
"I can take care of myself and Akaito is a pervy pedophile we don't need him now go help!"
"NO!"
"THIS IS JUST LIKE YOU! YOU NEVER FIGHT AND IF YOU DO IT'S JUST LIKE 2 HITS AND THAT'S IT YOU GIVE UP!"
"That's because I don't need to fight that much!"
"YOU CAN'T ALWAYS DEPEND ON THE OTHERS RIN!"
"Fine I'll fight." Getting up and doing a few stretches Rin walks to join the fight.
"STOP!" Taito appears pushing her back to the chair she was previously sitting in.
"This is my fight and I won't hesitate to kill you if you get in my way." Taito says with the psychotic look still on his face.
His shadow then got longer than it should be and his hands started to glow and deep shade of purple almost black.
"I'll end the fight."
Knifes then came out of his shadow and started stabbing the siren with all its might. One by one the knifes fly in and hit it. Laughs emitted from Taito as he hit the siren and then jumped up and kicked the siren down. His shadow then started to mutate like cloning itself. The shadows then became 3 more Taito's but they don't look human they look like a shadow of himself.
All the shadow Taito's start to line up in a straight line and dash towards the siren. Once they separate each on turned their arms and legs into another set of jagged knifes and started to stab the siren with it.
With one last hit the siren exploded and purple dust fell.
"Wow! Taito's power is amazing! He was able to defeat the siren without a sweat!" Miku says looking at him with a happy expression.
"Yeah who knew? Anyways Miku umm...are you ok with umm you know...what happened earlier?"
Miku looked at me and smiled. "Don't worry I got over that quickly! I mean why would I get mad or upset over that?"
"Yeah...hehe"
"Well let's call it a day for today I'm tireeed!" Rin says standing up from her chair again.
"Yup me too." I say walking next to Rin. Her pace starts to increase though as I walked next to her.
"You okay sis?" Rin just ignores me and goes inside the giant house.
"Okay..?"
"Aa Len-kun I still need to tell you something but I'll tell you tomorrow k?"
"Umm sure Akaito."
Going inside my room and lay on my bed getting a good night sleep. What a day.
[No one's P.O.V]
"It seems that everything is going as planned Taito." A smirk now replaced the goofy grin Akaito had on a minute ago.
"Sure. Let's just capture the kid and bring him to master so we can get this mission over with."
"Patience my brother we still need to do a few more things before we finish this mission." Walking inside the house Akaito went upstairs and shut the door of their room.
"Whatever."
Who is Akaito and Taito's master? Who is the person they want to capture? Why do they want to capture that person? How did those pictures of Len and Rin get on the magazine? What does Akaito want to tell Len? What happened to Kaito? What will happen with Rin and Len after their fight? Find out in the next chapter of Hidden Behind the Light!
Author's note: GAAAH! This chapter was a pain to write! The only part I enjoyed writting was the part where they introduce themselves! Also this was a really long chapter for me to write I wasted 6 or 7 pages on this! Anyways yeah since I didn't get any reviews the last chapter i'm asking for at least 2 or 3. So please review. Also since next month is October which means there is some halloween goodness in the next one and some new characters will be introduced!
Preview of Next Chapter!
"Halloween?"
"Yeah it's the time when we get to dress up as other characters and ask for candy!" Miku says with a happy tone in her voice.
"Miku..do you notice something about Len? Something off?"
"Len we are going on this mission!" My back hits the wall as Meiko stares at me with serious eyes.
