Chapter 7
"Will I get killed?" The blonde girl who wear royal clothes asked.
"This I do not know." The blonde-haired boy who bore a striking resemblance to the girl said. But he knew, they both knew. She would be…
"Are you afraid?" He asked holding her hand giving whatever comfort she needs.
He knew that she had always been afraid. Afraid of people, of everything. But she was so good at keeping the façade. Unfortunately her fear had warped her into such thinking, that the only way to keep herself safe, is to force others down.
Why did these things always happen to her? It wasn't her fault… None of these had been her fault. But whose was it?
The Prince of the Blue Kingdom? Yes, he could put some of the blame on that bastard, trampling on her feelings like that. But the mostly one he could blame was the previous king.
Because of an asinine belief that his precious kingdom will end because of a mere prediction. He made her take this burden. If he hadn't chosen her to rule, then perhaps no one would've hated her. No one would want to hurt her for wanting the throne for themselves, because she's a girl. Then she wouldn't have to keep on the facade just to protect herself.
'Ahhh, none of this matters now. It's all gone and done with.' He thought looking at the girl whose façade had crumbled and is now fearing for her life. 'That's right…' Narrowing his eyes knowing what he must do. 'There is a more important thing to be done. I will deal with the rest later.'
(A/N: Can you guys guess which this story is derived from? Though I made it completely different, because I had to fit it in my story, haha…)
(Gumiya's POV)
I checked all of our bags and made certain that nothing is forgotten. Rin was quite right in telling me to check Gumi's stuff.
"What was she going to do bringing all of her pillow carrots?" I muttered to no one in particular.
"Did you say something Gumiya?" Gumi looked at me smiling innocently.
"Nothing…" I said opening the door of our house. "We better go it's almost time."
Gumi pouted holding one carrot-shaped pillow. She looks like a kid… A cute kid at that.
"Why did you took out all of my pillow?" She asked indignantly.
"We were going to the sleepover with the intention of making assignments. What were you going to do with a bunch of pillows?" I said and motioned for her to go out.
"What is a sleepover with no pillow fight?" Gumi said.
I felt my eye twitched and said; "So, the pillows we're like an ammunition?"
We went on our way heading to the fountain park. And I mentally asked myself, why am I going on this sleepover again? Rin was so bossy even on text, I can't seem to say no.
"Gumi, you certainly found one hell of a charismatic friend." I said and sighed.
"Rin acts more like a boy than a girl, doesn't she?" Gumi said skipping. "You know, I once mistaken her for Len when I saw her because her hair was up in a ponytail."
"I still think those two are twins. But then again there are people who does resemble each other closely and are not even related." I said remembering that there were some actor and actresses that have real life doubles.
"You know what she said?" Gumi said looking at me.
"She gets that from a lot of people." I said guessing, after all I have seen Rin with her hair up in a ponytail. Anyone could really mistake her for Len.
"Nope, she smiled and said that she takes that as a compliment." Gumi said. "It made me blush." She added.
"Huh?" I said confounded. It made her blush; it wasn't like Rin complimented her. I tilted my head in confusion then. So, Rin is quite happy being mistaken as a boy?
"Well, you see she really did look like Len. Only she looked more handsome than Len." Gumi said reddening. "I've been thinking about it ever since."
"Please don't tell me you swing that way, Gumi." I said my insides tying into knots. I could scare off a guy by threatening or even beating him up, but a girl.
"Rin was just so dreamy…" Gumi said sighing in content. "I wish she had been a boy though."
A horrifying thought then came to my mind. Rin and Len looked alike. If Gumi likes Rin with her hair up, then wouldn't she end up liking Len because they look alike?
"What about Len?" I asked dreading the answer.
"What about Len?" Gumi asked innocently. Not knowing that her answer could lead to his death… Figuratively speaking…
"Do you like him?" I asked.
"No, of course not." Gumi said with a straight-face answer.
"That was quick. I thought you said you…" I tried thinking of the correct term. "Feel excited? When Rin had her hair up, but in the end she looks just like Len."
"Hmm… How should I say it?" Gumi said raising her carrot pillow to lean on her chin. "Rin and Len may look alike. You could really mistake them as each other at first glance when they have the same hair-style, but when you look carefully. Rin with her stoic expressions and mannerism is more like a mature adult." Gumi explained. "Len on the other hand acts more his age, an easy go lucky one."
"Isn't that because Rin lives alone?" I said remembering what Rin told us. "She has to take responsibility for herself. I'm rather surprised she didn't end up a troubled kid."
"Like I said a mature adult..." Gumi said. "And she spoils Len too."
"Huh? How so?" I asked. I don't pay attention to those two much. I was rather occupied watching a certain someone, to stay out of trouble.
"Well, Rin always puts Len first. You know the show they put for the kids?" Gumi said.
"I don't really know why those two do that?" I said. "It's not like they get anything out of it."
"Oh yeah speaking of which Gumiya don't forget we're going to join them for this month's mini performance." Gumi said suddenly changing topics.
I halted. I completely forgot about that not to mention.
"Ah, Gumi…" I said and dreaded what would happen when Gumi turned to me all smiles. 'She's going to get really angry…' Was my last thought as I braved myself for the upcoming massacre of Megpoid Gumi…
(Len's POV)
I was walking out of the station texting Rin and the others that Kaito and Miku were going to join us.
To: Gumi, Gumiya, Rin
Hey guys 2 more people joining us.
I hit the send button and pocketed my phone. I was walking alone on the narrow street which was kind of scary.
"It looks like I'm in one of those horror movies." I muttered and started to pace faster. Not that I'm scared or anything but, Rin said she'll be coming early. Can't have her wait you know and not because the usually narrow lane was empty of people, nope not scared at all.
Suddenly a strong scent over powered my senses and the sting as something sharp penetrated my flesh and everything went dark.
(Girl's POV)
The sounds of running echoed through the halls, the gasps and tired breathing of two children running. Confusion etched on the girl's face unable to understand what was happening. The only comfort and safety was the hand of the boy running with her through the empty halls.
I looked at the person in front of me. Golden hair tied to a ponytail… From the looks of his clothes, a boy? Is that… me…?
We turned a corner but it was a dead end. We turned around but there were men blocking our way.
"Stay close, Princess…" The young me said pulling me to his back and was standing in front of me. Then everything was engulfed in white.
(Len's POV)
I opened my eyes slowly to the ringing sound echoing. My sight a little blurry and I stared down unfocused on what was around me.
'Where am I?' I wondered looking around. 'What happened?' I was sitting on the cold cement, leaning against the wall. I can't seem to remember what happened.
"Len…" A familiar female voice said.
I looked up and saw an image of me staring with a worried look. My mind was blank, I can't think of anything. I looked closely there were scratches on her face. I can't put the name of this person who resembles me… A twin…?
"Are you ok?" I asked my voice was bit hoarse. "What happened?"
"Later… We need to get you home." She said holding me up and carried me through her back.
I felt weak to protest nor is my mind functioning right… 'I'm so tired…' I thought closing my eyes. Then remembering her state I asked; "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, no biggie…" She said. "Scratches like this are nothing. It'll heal quickly, as if it was never there. We'll have to do something about you though." She said. "I didn't expect this."
'Did I cause trouble?' I thought trying to focus but nothing comes to my mind. I feel disoriented, why is that? But I need to apologize anyway.
"I'm sorry…" I said.
"No… It's not your fault. No need to apologize." She said.
We then reached a very large house from the glimpse I took. She went to the side of the gate and pressed a circular button. She waited.
"Miss Kagamine… Did something happen, you suddenly took off…? Young Master Len!" A voice coming from the monitor said.
"It's alright, he's ok no need to panic. Len was just so tired." She explained.
'It's Kagamine then… Sounds familiar…' I wonder why I couldn't put my mind on it.
It was tiring to keep up so and I simply fell to oblivion.
It's hot so hot… I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling it was dark, the lights were off. It was probably night time already. I need to go somewhere.
Yes, you need someone to quench the thirst.
What? I got up from the confines of the bed and started walking. I didn't know where I was going nor where I was right now. All I can think about is how hot I am.
I entered a room the cold tiles, aren't even warming up my feet. I walked further in reaching for a knob. Water then began cascading in an array of bullets hitting my skin. It was cold but it didn't make the heat of my body go away. I really need something to make the hotness go away.
I don't know how long I stood by that coldness but now I was there by the sink the sound of running water, can't seem to register in my head. I think there's something wrong with me. I've been feeling a little weird; I don't know how I came to be here in the bathroom when a moment ago I was laid on the bed.
"Len… Len…" A female voice but I couldn't tell who it was.
She was calling me. I felt a hand on my back. Too warm, too crowding, too suffocating… I couldn't feel my legs I could feel them gave out. I think I fell to the floor but I didn't feel anything. That person must've got me.
Am I too tired? Did I catch something when I went outside? But what was I doing outside? I'm feeling hot, too hot… I feel hands touching my neck my head… A warm breath tickled my neck I felt warm all of a sudden. I want that warmth all over me… I tried to cling closer to that warmth.
"Kiss me…" Was that my voice? There was a moment of silence.
"The Sin of Lust" The voice said.
I felt the warm back of someone; I wrapped my hands around the person's neck.
"It'll be alright, were almost there." The voice reassured me.
I have no idea where we were going. The sound of a door opened then closed. I was then brought down to a soft ground… 'A bed? Is she moving away…?' I thought and reached for her. "Don't leave… please. I want you."
"It's taking over you fast, much quicker than a normal possession… Pardon me, Princess. Forgive me for the intrusion." The voice said.
Suddenly I felt warmth covering my mouth, coaxing me to open and I did I needed that. Then all of a sudden I felt a different kind of warmth. A warmth I felt a long time ago.
"Yup, easy does it…."
'Huh? Was that my voice?' I thought. I was being handled carefully. Feeling the soft landing once again. I slowly try to open my eyes. My sight was a little unfocused. I tried reaching out for the person, warm hands held mine.
"You're ok now, Princess." That voice is definitely mine.
I scrunched my eyes trying to clear my vision. I blinked a few times. 'A mirror…?'
"You're going to be fine now. Just sleep for a while." The mirror spoke and turned away from me. Was it supposed to do that, when I'm not even moving?
The mirror picked up the phone dialing a number.
"It's me…" Then a pause. "No Lily… It's me… Len…" The mirror said emphasizing the name.
'I'm probably dreaming. Yeah, that's right, I'm dreaming.' I thought as darkness descended me.
(Lily's POV)
I rushed through the stairs my heart beating erratically. At the last minute I hopped off the plane and told my poor assistant to take care of things. That call had me in a panic.
I was wet it had started raining when I left the airport. The raining had reminded of what happened that day of the incident.
'My baby!' My mind screamed as the door came on my sight.
Without thinking I busted through the door. The lights were off, illuminated by flashing of lightning through the window. I was felt for the switch by the door.
"Don't open it." A familiar male's voice said. Len's voice but the soft tone of it was gone. "She's just gone to sleep; the possession took its toll on her soul even though it wasn't that too long."
Taking the advice I looked at the room illuminated by the flashing of light. On the bed was a face I would recognize…
'My poor baby…' I thought.
Then I looked at the figure who was seated on a moving chair placed on the other side of the bed. Looking on like a guard, holding her hand. He looked calm, but I know rather I felt he was anything but calm.
I walked closer to the bed and looked closely at her. She seemed to be so peaceful.
"Rin…" I said motherly instinct kicking in; I checked her head for any signs of fever.
"She's not sick." He said. "Just tired… The Princess will be fine by tomorrow. And I'll be switching before she wakes up."
I looked at the face of the boy I had looked all this years and recognize as my baby, my child. But I know right now. Those descriptions are not for this face but to the one sleeping on the bed, because… As he said he had switched them as he did years before.
"Len… Right?" I asked confirming.
Len then looked at me. The blue orbs no longer of innocence or laughter but of maturity and seriousness of the situation.
"Yes, Kagamine Lily. I am Len… The Gemini Shadow… The one who switch our bodies during the incident years ago…"
To be continued…
15 March 2015 (Updated due to POV naming & adding of disclaimer cannot forget those or I might get sued ;D)
Orika: Kind of a waste having them go all the way to the Kagamine Mansion haha. Drum roll please… The secret is revealed. A bit confusing though, no? As I said previously, Allen's current reincarnation is male. And no, I am not nearing the end just because of this little revelation.
Sorry for the late update. Not because of Writer's Block. The story is quite jumbled on my mind. I have snippets of scenes here and there. I just need to organize them. *Sigh* Reviews anything is welcome under the Moon & Sun
