Chapter 9
"Princess…" A small blonde-haired boy entered the room without as much notice from anyone. He was trembling shaking at the sight of the figure at the bed. Ignoring the throbbing pain from the injury he had received he continued towards the bed.
The occupant of the white room was a girl though she's hardly to recognize from the wraps of bandages all over her body. The other noise that flows to the room was nothing but the beep, beep of the heartbeat machine.
The boy approached her and got himself up to sit at the side of her bed. He took her bandaged hand and rubbed it between his hoping she'll open the one eye that is not covered up in bandages.
"Princess… Sorry… I should've been more careful…" He said tearfully.
He heard the door opened and closed but he paid no heed to it.
"Len, sweetie… How'd you get out of your room?" A woman with long blonde hair asked.
"I just wanted to see her…" Len said not even glancing at the woman.
"Ok… I talked to the doctor… Well, Rin isn't going to be waking up anytime soon." The woman said sobbing.
"It's my fault…" Len whispered lips quivering from anger.
"No, Len it's not your fault some bad people are just really after…" The woman said trying to hold in her hiccups.
"No… I won't let this happen to the Princess…" Len said and began chanting in an unknown language. He brought his thumb to his lip and bit the tip until it bled a little.
"What?" The woman bewildered looked at the boy. Her body couldn't move it was like she was frozen in time.
Her eyes widens in shock as she watched in horror when the boy she knew that had played with her daughter grew wings on his back. A black and white wings.
Len leaned down towards Rin. Hovering over her lips and sealing it with his own. The children's bodies suddenly began to glow and after a while the glow faded. As the glow faded Len suddenly fainted on top of Rin.
"What was that?" The woman muttered too terrified to move.
Suddenly Rin's eye opened, she sat up carefully holding Len's body. She then had Len's body carefully laid at the bed as she got off of it. She then looked at the woman as she did the woman was then able to move.
"The Princess would be safe with this." Rin said her stare no longer of an innocent child but that of someone who is already old enough to a lot about the world.
Rin walked over by the opened window and sat on the sill. She looked at her bandaged hand and took it off. The burn was sever almost to the point of showing tissue muscles. "It'll take some time for me to heal." She narrowed her eyes as wings spread out of her back. The same black and white wings that Len had earlier. She looked at the woman once again as her wings flapped a little that made her float to the air out of the window. "I'll leave her in your care until I return…" She said her wings flapping.
"Don't let anyone harm her, Lily." Rin said as she was surrounded by white light and disappeared.
Kagamine Lily dropped through her knees on the cold tile of the hospital room. Shocked of what she had witnessed. She looked at the figure of her daug- no her now son who was sleeping peaceful when not moments ago was in a life crisis.
"Oh god…"
(Len POV)
I was at the bathroom changing from my costume of Black Vow… Hmmm… I gotta keep track of every costume from now own. Though I must say my most favorite one is the sailor uniform. Not because I can see more of Rin's legs because she wears mini shorts and her smooth tummy... I am not a PERVERT!
(A/N: Sure, keep telling yourself that Len hee hee)
"Are you done, Len?" I heard Rin inquire from outside.
Classes have been dismissed hours ago and we've finished story telling too. I doubt if there are some people who actually remain here except for the most studious ones, I guess.
Gumi and Gumiya aren't with us today because of the game. We have to convince Gumi that we'd be fine on our own and go cheer on her brother. She felt guilty that the show was ruined, but Rin reassured her that we can make it on our own, well Miku and Kaito was a bit interested in what we were talking about so they volunteered to be replacements.
I asked them about their schedules and they said they asked what time this show was to be and I told them. They said that they would be free at those time. So, in a way it all went well. So, they replaced the roles Gumiya and Gumi were supposed to have and it went well.
A few minutes earlier…
I was at the comfort room with Kaito changing. It was a good thing that Kaito has all-white attire. It was the role that was supposed to be Gumiya's until that last minute call for the soccer team. Well, it wasn't like our story telling was an official club, so of course Gumiya has his own priorities.
"So, Len…" Kaito piped up as I was fixing my hair in a certain way Rin and I practiced as part of the look with hair gel.
"Yeah…?" I replied carefully pulling my hair back and tied it to a ponytail.
"This is what you've been busy with." Kaito stated as he scoop some gel himself and started putting it on his hair brushing it backwards as I instructed him too.
"Yeah… I got hooked into it." I said looking at Kaito through the mirror. "Something wrong?"
"Nothing just that you never told us anything when we ask you about being busy…" Kaito stated and I feel somewhat guilty.
"Sorry… But I didn't want Miriam finding out. If word spreads, the media's gonna be all over Rin." I said.
"Hmmm…"
Kaito replied combing his gelled hair back. "What do you think about Rin?"
"Huh?" But as confusion as I sounded, I felt my face heat up. 'What did I think about Rin?' I thought. That suddenly came out of nowhere. "She's very creative?" I said unsure of my answer or more precisely what Kaito was actually asking.
"I suppose you never really thought about things like that." Kaito murmured.
I had this dumbfounded look on my face. I was about to ask him what he meant when suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"We're ready…" I heard Miku said too cheerfully on the other side of the door. "I can't believe you actually do this Len. It reminds me of doing play back in elementary."
"Don't you wear this sort of things during shoots?" Rin asked.
"Filming and acting in front of an audience is different." Miku said.
"I see you prefer the live ones." Rin said. "See Len this is why I tell you that the digital entertainment is wreaking havoc to art."
"I know…" I said agreeing.
The two had schedules afterwards so the only ones that were left were Rin and I, but they said they had fun and if they ever need help in people they would be willing to volunteer again.
Rin and I were going to go home together. I made certain to clear the day off of any schedules when we have our story telling. It was much more convenient, though Miriam still pester me why.
"I'm coming…" I said carefully putting the costume at the paper bag. I then made certain that my disguise was in place. I then went outside the door. "Did you wait long?"
"Not really…" Rin said looking at me. "I say that was a success."
"Yeah, a good thing none of them was supposed to be singing." I said. "Not that I wouldn't want them to be there. But I was just worried about the last minute and all."
"I know. So, I was thinking…" Rin said as we walked out of gates of the school. "Since we bothered many of them. I thought it would be a good idea to go to the theme park as celebration for the success. Gumi just texted me as well, saying that Gumiya won their game."
"It was just a practice match though, but I suppose a win is still a win. Sounds like a plan." I said as we reached the station.
"Great! Check-up your day off then… Miku and Kaito too and I'll come up with something…" Rin said thinking as we passed the board pass block-
(A/N: I have no idea what you call those where you need to have your train pass scanned through the machine to get in.)
-We were quite lucky because the train had fewer passengers so we managed to sit. Unfortunately wails can be heard coming from a woman who was at the other car. She was crying about her still missing daughter for three days now.
Apparently the case of missing girls still remain at large. I looked at Rin who was somehow nodding off even with all that racket. I tilted her head to my direction so her head used my shoulder as a pillow.
Listening to the woman I can understand her hysterical state. I mean wouldn't you worry if someone you know especially a relative or someone close goes missing?
I looked at Rin again and decided that I should walk her home. It would be too dangerous to have her walk home alone. Those girl abductors would find her easy prey. Deciding that I pinched my cheek to keep myself alert for any signs of danger…
Suddenly I felt a hand grasp my own. Looking down without moving my head, I saw that Rin had hold onto my hand. I felt my face heat up, as I continue to look at our entwined hands. Her fingers are a bit callused not soft like most girls would be. Not that I've held hands in an intimate way, just when I shake hands with them during autograph signing and stuffs you know. Yeah, I guess Rin gets to be an exception to everything.
Even still her hand felt delicate to mine and warm… I became aware of so many things then. Her soft breathing and her fruity smell… I felt my heart beat faster as I took note of these things.
'Rin is really cute…' When that thought of mine had really sunk in, I began to feel my cheeks heated. Since when have I thought that Rin is cute? I was about to lean my head closer to hers when suddenly the train announced the arrival to a station.
Rin jostled awake but her head remained leaning on my shoulder her hand on mine. We were quiet hearing the sound of the passengers moving about.
"Sorry… There are times when I get so sleepy without reason." Rin said.
"I do to… Especially when sets are taking too long…" I whispered feeling my face heating up.
I heard sniffing sounds. Gads, I hope I don't smell.
"Hmmm~ Citrus nice smell…" Rin commented… Which just made me blush harder. Then there was a growling sound. It wasn't me that was for certain.
"Are you hungry? Want something to eat?" I asked searching my bag for some leftover biscuits I had.
"Water…" Rin said.
"Ummm… I don't have water." I said looking embarrassed.
(A/N: A reference to Rin's song "Suki Daisuki" a.k.a. "I Like You, I Love You")
Rin just smiled and the journey remained in silence.
"Hey, Rin…" I started as we were walking out of the platform.
"Hmmm…?"
"I'll take you home." I said.
"What?" Rin said stiffening.
What was there something wrong with what I said? I replayed what I said in my mind. Could I blush any harder? That sounded so wrong.
"I mean I'll walk you home." I said.
"I don't think you should." Rin said frowning.
I looked at Rin; did I offend her in some way? "I mean with the news lately, don't you think you should have company."
Rin averted her gaze. Was her home a secret or something? "Sorry, I guess that was out of the blue…"
"No…" Rin said shaking her head. "I haven't had any visitors. So, it's a bit messy." She added averting her gaze.
"Its fine I don't mind." I said, sighed in relief. So she was worried about something else.
"I… I guess." Rin said hesitantly.
"Come on it can't be that bad." I said. "I mean you've been to my house." I felt the heaviness of my statement after it came out of my mouth. 'Crap… shut your stupid mouth Len. Don't boast about your stupid house that is a mansion by society terms that is run by servants.'
"Alright… But let me clean a bit when we get there." Rin said smiling.
"Ok…" I said returning the smile.
This will be my first time to Rin's house. I could feel my heart pounding faster and were not even there yet.
We got of the station and started walking to the direction of Rin's house. Rin took out her phone and began calling a number.
"C'est moi. Le Gémeaux est avec moi…" Rin said in a language I don't understand… Is that Spanish? French?
Rin looked at me and smiled saying on the phone, "Vous les gars mieux brouiller, avant d'y arriver."
Are there people living with her? No, she said she lives alone. But who in the world could she be talking too.
"Pas vous ne pouvez pas la rencontrer!" Rin said sharply on the phone and then she hanged up. A fight… She then sighed shaking her head.
(A/N: No, I don't speak French dear Readers. I merely used the translator engine and no I won't be giving the translation. Curious? You can use a translation engine ;D)
"Is everything alright?" I asked.
"Yes… Sorry, about that." Rin said smiling in apology.
"Who were you talking to?" I asked curious. "If you don't mind me asking."
"Just someone looking after the house while I'm gone. They prefer to speak their native tongue." Rin said.
"Oh… are you from there then?" I asked realizing that I didn't exactly know where she actually came from.
"No… Umm… But I've stayed there too." Rin said blushing. "I learned a lot of languages through the years." She added.
"Must be tough…" I said trying to sympathize.
"Not really. It helps me when people say some things about you in a language they think you can't comprehend thinking you're stupid not to know." Rin said waving her hand.
"Oh, that's worse." I said but Rin replied smirking.
"Not really and it embarrasses them when you say that you can understand what their saying."
I laughed, yeah that would be just so. Rin then pointed to a house just a few blocks ahead the one with a red roof.
"That's my house over there." She lowered her hand and turned to me. "I think you should call your driver to fetch you. It's a bit a late and who knows what happens after dark settles in."
Rin had a good idea so I fished out my phone from my bag and began calling him. After telling the driver the directions and what time I want to be picked up I putted my phone back to my bag.
When we reached Rin's house, she opened the door and said to wait for her until she gives the signal that it was ok to enter. Then she went inside but she left the door open. So I took some sneaking glances inside. Unfortunately I could only see a part of the living room from the hallway. It was a two story house, it was normal… Except it still seems to be too big for only one person to occupy.
"This must be the reason why she prefers to stay long at the campus." I muttered.
Rin then appeared carrying a pair of sleepers and placed it down on the floor, near the doorway.
"Welcome to the World beyond…" Rin said smiling. I snorted a laugh… What a name.
I took my shoes off and reached for the slippers. "Cinderella missing his sleepers…" Rin quipped chuckling.
"Of course not." I said hotly.
Rin then led me to the living room. The table had food in it. I sat down looking up at the second floor that was visible from the first floor. There were three rooms but what got my attention was the large space at second floor. I could glimpse a bed, a shelf of drawers leaning at the wall from the side of the bed. There was a curtain that was drawn to the side. It was hanging from a pole at the ceiling that will cover the opening to that open space.
(A/N: I tried my best in describing the said room in detail. I tried looking at pics too. I searched open stairs bedroom, it's the pic that the second floor is visible and is a bedroom.)
'What is a bed doing out of a room?' I thought.
As if reading my mind Rin answered looking at where I was looking at. "That's my bedroom."
"That's the bedroom?" I asked looking at it in open awe.
"Instead of having it as an upstairs living room I turned it into a bedroom. It's easier to get down without having to open a door." Rin explained smiling.
"You have one creative mind." I said. It looked kind of cool.
"Nah, I wouldn't exactly say that. After all I only got the idea of the bedroom from the net." Rin said then sticking out her tongue.
"Here have some." Rin said offering the plate of cookies on the table. "I'll just go get some drinks." She added and went off to the kitchen.
I looked around trying to find some photographs; unfortunately there was none on display.
'Maybe she didn't like her father?' I thought. Well, Lily is always out for work but she does make time for me. Rin on the other hand I couldn't say the same. 'The neighborhood seemed decent. But living alone could be dangerous.' I thought once it sank in that she really lived alone. 'But then she was talking to someone earlier. Did that person left?' I wondered since I didn't see anyone and it was quiet when we came here.
Then I noticed a huge oval mirror that had a yellow rose with black and white wings at the top hanging on the wall at the corner of the living room, as if it doesn't want anyone using it. 'What is that?' I approached the mirror and was about to touch it when a hand shot out of nowhere and held mine.
I looked at the person surprised. It was Rin she was standing behind me. She was so close I didn't notice her approach. I could feel my heart beat faster at the close proximity.
"Don't touch, it's not allowed." Rin whispered breathing down my neck.
I gulped. "Why?" I asked nervous.
"My family had this mirror for generations." Rin said. "The thing is if anyone but our family touches it. They somehow end up struck with bad luck later own." She added pulling me away from the door.
"Like what?" I asked letting Rin lead me away. She then picked up a tray of pitcher and two empty tall glasses.
"A missing purse, missed appointments." Rin said.
"You're joking right." I said trying not to laugh.
"I don't know. But people have been calling afterwards saying if they left something back then." Rin said shrugging her shoulders.
I looked back at the mirror. I don't know but there's something about that mirror, it wouldn't leave my mind.
"Here's water…" Rin said carrying the tray to the table. She then served me a glass.
"Hey Rin, where is the person you were talking to earlier?" I asked.
Rin froze… I wonder why? "Their care takers? Well, they do look after the house while I'm gone."
"Oh… So, they're an adult?" I said not really asking. I was sort of relieved when she mentioned a "them", that means it's not just one person. Then something else occurred to me, but before I could voice them out Rin had beaten me and said;
"I could hardly call them kids though even though they pretty much act like it. They'll never let anyone in, unless invited."
"I see… But don't you feel unsafe? Living all alone here?" I asked.
"Not really… I am more than adequate of protecting myself." Rin said smiling. "Thanks for worrying though."
We then talked about random things. I didn't notice the time until the driver knocked on the door. The driver and I then left with Rin waving us off. Unbeknownst to us we were being watched by two people, lurking in the shadows.
(Len's POV)
I was currently in my room reflecting to my most problematic stage of my life. I again looked at the pages of my sketch pad. Drawing has been my forte not composing. Though it had been awhile since I've drawn anything.
Looking at the only thing or rather person that has been on my mind lately. I thumped my head at the desk of my study table.
'Good Lord I am screwed…' I thought. What is this great crisis I am facing?
I admit that I have feelings for Rin. Now how does a guy like me know when I have never been on a relationship before? Well, through my reflection I had realized that I treat Rin differently to most girls.
First and foremost I go with Rin to the train station home. I never accompany a girl to walk home. What is wrong with what I had just said? Well, I try to avoid getting in company with girls because of my (ahem) in-the-closet reputation. Yeah, it would cause something to talk about.
I always invite her to my house whenever possible and have her sleep over too. And I'm certain it's not because I pity her for living all by herself and that she makes the most delicious orange shakes. Our chef is trying to get information about her secret recipe which she is tight-lip about.
A few days after our recent performance I had taken a leave of absence from school due to work, whenever we have a short break I always find myself exchanging texts with her. I never thought she would text me back quickly, it was school hours after all, but she replies quickly.
The thing is I make time for Rin even to the extent of wearing a disguise just so people won't gossip. If they ever found out that I accompany a girl the media would be on her tail like there's no tomorrow.
So, why don't I confess? That's my big dilemma… That's why here I am after a commercial shoot with Miku and Kaito. I can at least pour my dilemma on them without having to worry of Rin or anyone else finding out.
(Kaito's POV)
I heard Len sighed for the umpteenth time while looking beyond the glass of the cafeteria. The thing is I have a feeling that he isn't really seeing what's out there either.
"What's up with him?" I asked and continued on savoring my ice cream.
"I have no idea…" Miku said. "Hey, Lenny~ something wrong?" She asked in a worried voice.
Len mumbled something. Miku and I leaned in more closely to hear as we both chorused a "What?"
"I like Rin…" He said again.
I just dropped my ice cream to the shock of that news. Miku gaped at him and then she squealed in delight.
"Our Lenny, is finally growing up~" Miku sang and garnering the attention from people a few table near us.
"Shhh…" Len said giving the quiet sign to Miku. "Be quiet… You know how that little tidbit can go big before we could even say gossip." He hissed.
The wasted ice cream forgotten I leaned near Len. "But why do you seem depressed about it. Rin is your friend right? Is it the "Friends Becoming More" angle thing you're worried about?" I asked.
Miku and Len stared at me dumb founded. What? I do think you know.
"It's not that…" Len said sighing again.
"Then confess… Be brave about it." Miku said in her high pitch tone. She's always like that when she's giddy.
"My problem is confessing…" Len said.
"Why?" Miku and I chorused. "Are you shy? Well, it is your first time." Miku added.
"No, it's not that. Well, Rin had been asked out by a lot of guys. Even seniors. I can't believe you guys haven't heard of it." Len suddenly said looking incredulous at us.
Now that he mentioned it. I have heard gossip going around the guys before. How a certain Kagamine-san is batting for the other team… But I thought that was Len…
"Is this about the Kagamine batting for the other team?" I asked confirming.
"If it's coming from the guys it probably is then." Len said confirming. "So, they think she's also batting for the other team like me? I always wonder why people think I'm gay. But now that I've seen a similar situation in Rin, it makes sense now…"
"So, she's also dumped plenty of guys then?" Miku asked.
"Not exactly dump when she's never gone out with any of them." Len defended. "She just turned them down."
"Well, you might have a bigger chance considering you two are close." I said looking at the melted ice cream, I want to buy another but I don't want to leave the table in case I miss anything.
"That is my biggest problem." Len said feeling dejected once again. "When Rin turned down those guys and I've seen her firsthand how she does it. She always says, "My heart belongs to the Gemini…"" He added with a fist slamming on the table.
"The Gemini?" Miku and I chorused bewildered.
"My first time and I have no chance from the beginning…" Len continued, he sounded like he was about to cry.
Miku and I looked at each other not knowing what to do. Miku scooted her chair near Len.
"Who is this Gemini, exactly?" Miku asked, which is a good question.
"Don't know…" Len mumbled.
"You don't know?" I asked. Certainly for sure if you have a rival for a girl's affection you would find out who the girl likes.
"Rin is very tight-lip about the Gemini. One guy asked about it one time in front of the class and she told us a lot of things without really telling us anything." Len said lifting his head from the table.
"Like?" Miku asked.
"The Gemini is a wonderful person, has a lot of flaws which can be cute most of the time… Have a bit of a temper and doesn't back down from a fight." Len said and continued on the list of descriptions without ever mentioning the name of a person. When he had finished he is almost out of breath.
Miku and I were staring at each other thinking the same. 'Those descriptions fit Len almost to a T. But what's more scaring is how he memorized all of those when he only heard it once.' I thought.
"You've got it bad, dude. To memorize those when you only heard it once." I voiced.
"I know and I didn't even realize it." Len said groaning. "I guess, it's pretty obvious if I took such details to memory."
"I'm quite amazed at her evasion skills." Was Miku's comment? "I mean not once did she ever mentioned a name or gender of the person."
I tilted my head thinking aloud, "Funny though most of the description fits you. But how in the world does she know personal things? Is she a stalker or something?" I added.
"Hey! What do you mean most description fits me?" Len hissed offended.
"Well, you have a bit of a temper and don't back down from a fight." Miku said agreeing. "Do you think…? Just maybe, this Gemini person is you?"
"How could that be possible? Guys started confessing to her after her first week of transfer." Len said. "She doesn't know me that well yet."
"Oh Len…" Miku giggled. "Haven't you ever heard of love at first sight?" She added.
"Umm… Knock, knock, Miku. In case you have forgotten, wasn't it Rin who said that it takes time to really know whether you love someone?" Len said making the quotation mark in the air.
"Your feelings actually go that deep?" I asked shocked, Len who has never shown interest on any girls and is the reason why I've been branded gay too. Is in love with someone… Someone who looks like him? Hmmm… Is there a narcissist theme I'm getting?
Len's face turns ten shades of red but made no move to protest. Miku and I chorused an "Oh…"
"Shut up! If you guys have no good advice to give me then don't say anything at all." Len said burying his face on his arms that was leaning on the table.
"How about asking her for a date…" I said.
"Where have you been the entire time we're talking?" Len asked sarcastically.
"Ok, then how about this. Remember asking us for our day off, let's do that. I'll collaborate with Gumi on how to get information from Rin, even if it means we'll have to crack a few of her bones." Miku said and cackled like a mad witch.
"Sometimes I wonder why I am friends with you, Miku." Len wondered aloud and I nodded in agreement. Well, Miku is scary sometimes you would your sanity of befriending her.
(Gumi's POV)
So the day has finally come. Just last night Miku and I went over our last minute plan on how to get information on Rin. I was so excited; it feels like I'm Sherlock Holmes. I was pulling Gumiya to hurry to the station.
"I thought this was supposed to be a celebration not an investigation." Gumiya piped up.
"Oh, shush… This will be helping Len in dominating Rin's heart." I said squealing.
"Great… Good luck on that." Gumiya said. "From what I observe of Rin, she is the sort of person that is hard to read."
"It will work out…" I said thinking positive.
We met up with Kaito and Miku who was about to enter the station. Rin had texted us last night saying;
From: Rin
Go on disguise tomorrow.
I think she meant it for the three celebrities but what the heck I went along with it.
So, Miku who usually has pigtails, are now tied to the base of her neck, still in pigtails and braided. She was wearing a white berretta with pink shades. Kaito on the other hand was wearing a hat and shades not much of a disguise.
Gumiya and I were simply wearing casual clothes with caps and shades to go along with the occasion. I was gonna go elaborate with a carrot but Gumiya wouldn't let me go out of the house without changing to more normal clothes.
Miku and I had begun discussing about how we should go on before we meet up with the two.
"Nothing could go wrong…" We were saying positively… Or so I thought… We should've known. Rin apparently puts the word disguise to a whole new level.
Right in front of us was Rin only she's in a male disguise; she was wearing a short wig with the usual four barrettes holding the bangs. She was wearing casual wear, a white shirt underneath a jacket, denim loose pants and sneakers. The epitome of a real male gender with no trace of being a girl…
Everyone turned to her, I mean his (ahem) female companion… Correction Rin's near to tears female companion…
As Rin was in a male disguise, Len or so I think was, is currently in a female disguise. Like Rin he was wearing a wig only it was long and up in a ponytail. She was wearing a jacket that was yellow on the sleeve, white on the upper area to the chest, orange around the hips then yellow downwards, the zipper was zipped closed to the chest area and we could see a black shirt underneath and white sneakers with blue colorings on it… The thing that caught our attention the most was that Len was wearing a black skirt with the length just above his knees… And he was wearing black stockings too.
We were engulfed in a long silence the noise of the other passengers fading in the background.
"Gosh, I wouldn't recognize you two if you hadn't approached us yourselves." Kaito commented breaking the silence.
"What's with the get-up anyway?" Gumiya asked trying not to laugh at Len's poor predicament.
"Got it from news that there was a shooting at the amusement park…" Rin explained in a male voice. "And since the three of you are known we might get mob by fans. So, I thought we might go on a disguise and here we are."
"When you texted "Be on a disguise" I didn't think you mean a heavy disguise." Miku said trying to prevent herself from forming a full blown smile.
"By the way it's Rinto and…" Rin (ahem) Rinto glanced at Len who was still looking on the floor. "Lenka…" She called.
Everyone looked at Len (ahem) Lenka. "I hate you… Why do I have to wear a skirt!? Why can't I just wear normal pants?" Surprisingly Len's voice is like a girl did Rin taught him that too?
Rin sighed and pulled Len closer. "I explained it already. You need a skirt to make you aware that you can't spread your legs that wide. We've practiced this last night. Besides there's no way we can have you wear mini shorts it will be very obvious not to mention it will definitely hurt."
The boys all winced knowing exactly what she meant while we girls except for Rin reddened at the meaning of "IT".
"I am never talking to you again…" Len said trying to loosen Rin's grip on his hand.
Oh dear… Was the romance over? That was definitely quick and they aren't even official yet.
However Rin didn't let go and cooed while playfully swinging their holding hands; "Oh, come on. I promise I'll treat you as soon as we get to the park."
"Treating is supposed to be a man's job." Len argued in his male voice.
"Keep your voice in check Lenka. We wouldn't want anyone to know who you really are…" Rin said and Len reddened at that. "And since I'm the man here, I'll be the one treating the Princess. Consider it my thanks for helping me on the story telling…" She added smiling still playfully swinging their hands.
"Fine!" Len said pouting which oddly enough makes him a cute girl. Len then pulled Rin to the platform to wait for the train. "I am going to enjoy myself to this!" But he was smiling.
"Amazing… It takes us hours to calm him like that and all it takes is a little cooing from Rin." Kaito said.
"We definitely need to get them together." Miku added.
We followed the… uh lovely couple to the platform when Gumiya just had to add something. "You two do realize that all that planning just went out the window, right?"
And for that I socked him in the arm.
(Len's POV)
As it turns out Lily was just pulling my leg. Yes! I can't believe my own mother would really like me to dress as a girl.
The worst, I can't believe Rin had actually collaborated with Lily on this.
Last night…
The doorbell rang and I quickly ran downstairs to greet Rin. I told her since we were going to the park together, why not sleep at my place instead. Aren't I great? I should've thought of this sooner.
"Hey Rin, evening…" I greeted Rin as soon as she came in from the door bringing a roller suitcase with her.
"Evening…" Rin said smiling.
I quickly made a dive for her suitcase. Not in the literal sense, but Rin had pulled her it away.
"It's ok. I got it, it isn't that heavy." Rin said and continued in. Well, there goes my chance to being a gentleman. Rin always shoot down simple help like those. She's too independent.
I led her to her room but then again, Rin has slept over many times. It's like she practically lives here. With that being said I have never actually seen her place not even once.
I plump down on the bed of the guest room Rin always occupies when she stays over.
"Hey, Len we got a problem for tomorrow's hangout." Rin said interrupting my thoughts.
"What happened?" I said alarmed worrying that she might cancel on us.
"Well, I heard from news that there'll be taping at the amusement park were going." Rin said checking her things.
"Oh, well we can change venue…" I suggested.
"Don't be so silly. Not when Miku had already got tickets." Rin said looking at me. "So, I was thinking… We should all go on a disguise."
"I suppose…" I said having no idea where this was going.
"I knew you would agree…" Rin said smiling… Why do I have a bad feeling about her smile?
A few minutes later…
"Come on Len. You've been in there for fifteen minutes now." Rin's voice echoed from the other side of the door.
"I am not coming out!" I said looking at myself at the mirror. I can't believe that Rin had managed to trick me. I looked horrified at the clothes that laid passively at the counter top of the sink.
I thought she was an innocent angel? What's so innocent about her managing to strip me of my pants? Good thing I managed to escape to the bathroom, good thing she didn't managed to get my boxers too.
"Come on Len… I promise to make your favorite orange shake, top with whip cream~" Rin sang softly.
'Dang it! Bargaining me with my favorites.' I thought to myself.
"You won't be alone. I'll be there in disguised too." Rin said.
"So! You're a girl!" I said glaring at the door.
"Kagamine Len! That is sexism of you." Rin scolded me teasingly.
"Why do I have to this anyway?" I whined.
"Because I want to enjoy the park without having to be wary of your fans swallowing us whole." Rin said and continued. "Never to be seen again."
I knew the "your fans" aren't only applicable to me. Well, she's got a point. Especially with three celebrities in tow. I sighed and started to remove my remaining article of my clothing.
I then heard some bustles outside and laughter. But I was too occupied putting on the clothes of doom to care who it is, Rin is talking to. I looked at the skirt in horror.
'Do I really have to wear this? Can't I just wear pants instead?' I thought but putted it on anyway and plan to suggest the pants on Rin later.
I looked at myself in the mirror and reddened as I pulled my ponytail off and my hair free of its confines spread freely at my back. I was no longer at myself. No, I was now looking at Rin.
I knew Rin and I resemble each other closely as people often mistaken Rin for me whenever she pulls her hair up in a ponytail. But I have never looked at myself much in the mirror with my hair down.
'Ok, this getting creepy. Or rather I'm getting creepier.' I thought scratching my cheek. I quickly pulled my hair back to a high ponytail. 'Better not let Rin my creepiness.' I thought and went out of my room.
The sudden flashes made me blink and disoriented. There was Lily holding a camera and squealing. My face reddens. "MOM!"
It was when we went out of the train station that Rin led me and the others to an isolated area. There was a van there and out came… Yes, Lily dressed like a man in black and she was taking pictures.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Don't tell me you really want to go cross-dressing at the amusement park." Rin said smiling apologetically. "Sorry… Aunt Lily was so insistent. I owe you as an apology…"
Everything then clicked. "You mean mom just wanted me to wear a dress!" I yelled.
"My Lenny-kins is so cute~" Lily sang clicking away on her camera.
"Since you're not used to this heavy disguise." Rin said quoting Miku's word. "We can go for the casual look. But then Aunt Lily caught me and said that she wanted to take pictures of her baby girl and well… You know the rest." She added. The girls cooed and agreed which they earned a glare from me. Good thing the guys thought better and remained silent.
"My baby is looking good in a dress~" Lily is so weird, good thing I didn't caught her weirdness in the gene pool.
I was now wearing normal clothes. An off green colored shirt with a yellow tie drawing, with an orange hoodie jacket, black baggy pants and white sneakers with black colorings. My usual high ponytail is down and loose and I was wearing a black cap. We were waiting for Rin to come out.
"It would have been cute watching you." Kaito said and I socked him right in the arm. But the guy just laughed and Gumiya laughed with him. Gads, I'll never be able to live this down.
"But it's better this way." Miku said sighing a relief and Gumi nodded in agreement. I wonder what's up with them.
Rin then came jumping down from the van she was wearing what I was just wearing earlier, only she is also wearing a pair of star shaped dangling earrings and a long necklace with a star pendant. Her white bow was tilted to the side.
Well those were her clothes but… Couldn't she wear different ones…? I mean I just wore those and I could've sweat a lot during the time I wore them.
I couldn't voice it out though because for some reason it pleased me and I was left reddening from further embarrassment of my thoughts. After some bid of farewells and a motherly hug from Lily we went on our way. And she gave Rin the tickets which turns out she stole from Rin to bargain with her for me to wear the clothes. Like I said weird…
We were now inside the amusement park and looked around. We avoided the shooting as we may be easily recognized by the mobs of fans watching there.
I was looking up at the roller coaster which was the main attraction of the park. I was pulling Rin's hand and pointing at the ride.
"I wanna go on that one!" I said with an excited voice while pulling Rin to the line. Good thing there wasn't much people. The others joined us as well, but the girls seems to be more excited.
Rin looked at it for a while tilting her head. I noticed that she's been looking around as if she's never been to an amusement park before. I gasp with the realization that maybe she hasn't.
"Have you ever been to an amusement park before?" I whispered making sure no one heard me.
"I have, but it's been a really long time and the ride was a bit more different." She said looking at the circular hoops adorning the nearly thin tracks.
Something then occurred to me then. What if… "Are you afraid of heights?" What? It's a normal question.
"No, I have no problem with heights." Rin said smiling, I reddened. I opened my shoulder bag.
I peered at the two envelops carefully stashed away that would prevent them from being wrinkled. There love letters, well at least one of them was a normal neat love letter. I've up all night writing it. I hope it goes well.
Our arrangement at the roller coaster were as follows. Me and Rin took the front behind us were Gumi and Gumiya and Miku and Kaito took the third seat. When I took a glance behind us Gumiya had his goggles on his eyes.
"Let's do this!" He said all pumped up.
Meanwhile Miku and Kaito had pulled off their glasses. I copied them and took off mine as well and putted them in the bag. It might fall off during the ride. The car then began moving backwards climbing up.
The excited screams of the other passengers could be heard. I held Rin's hand in case she might be scared. Rin didn't scream at all during the entire ride. But she didn't look good either when we came out of it.
She had her hand in her mouth. I think she's going to puke.
"Are you ok, Rin?" I am such an idiot of course she's not ok. "You should've told me."
"No, I think I just ate too much this morning. The sudden movement unsettled me." Rin said.
"I know the feel of that one?" Gumiya said pulling his goggles up to his head again.
"Gumiya was like that the first time he rode. He ate two jumbo hotdogs prior to the ride." Gumi explained.
I should've considered that. I didn't eat that much during breakfast… Well, I was a bit more conscious about my going out in a skirt and Rin ate what was on her plate which was plenty too. She seemed fine though earlier.
"Toilet…" Rin muttered and the girls quickly pulled her in the direction of the bathroom.
"I didn't know those things could make people sick?" Kaito said looking at the roller coaster.
"They don't normally. Unless you've eaten before riding." Gumiya said.
"We should get some drinks at least." I suggested and we went to the food stalls.
(Miku's POV)
Rin was currently praying to the God of the Porcelain as we hear her dunk it out, from outside her stall.
I took a glance at Gumi who did the same with me and we both nodded to each other. This was a chance, while Rin's in a weaken state we can ask questions, she'll probably answer them without noticing. We were also lucky that there wasn't anyone at the bathroom, the janitress just left moments ago.
"Hey Rin…" I started as a warm-up.
"Hnnn…" Rin mumbled.
"Is there anyone you particularly like?" I asked. Gumi cannot possibly ask this as she should already be aware of the Gemini person.
There was a moment of silence.
"Love…" Rin then said.
"Huh?" I echoed. 'Love?' I thought as I looked at Gumi who also had a panicked expression looking at the stall.
"I love someone…" Rin whispered followed by a wretch.
Well, that can't certainly be good. If it was infatuation with someone, she can still divert her attention to Len. But love that goes to a deeper level all together.
"That seems too deep." I said twirling my hair to think of something anything that will change the course of conversation.
"Most people think I'm shallow, with my saying that my heart belongs to the Gemini, without even giving them a chance." Rin said she seems to have finished her confession to the porcelain. "But really, what do people know about me… Nothing that's what."
"Is the Gemini a girl or a boy?" Gumi risked asking.
The stall then opened and Rin came out and went straight to the sink washing her face.
"Currently the Gemini is a boy." Rin said.
"What do you mean currently a boy?" I asked confuse as was Gumi.
"Well, there is a saying a person can be one gender in the physical appearance and be another in the heart." Rin said nodding.
"Oh…" Gumi and I chorused.
"Thing is he doesn't remember me…" Rin said looking at us through the mirror.
"You mean he has amnesia?" I asked looking at Rin through the mirror.
"Sort of… I think it's more of burying the traumatizing thing that happened to us, when we were kids." Rin said washing her hands with the soap dispenser. "I had to move away then. Such a sad thing… I didn't want to leave the Gemini in that state, but I had no choice."
"So, the Gemini is actually here?" Gumi asked.
"Yes, he's living here." Rin said.
I quickly pounced on that. "Does he go to our school?"
Rin was quiet then… "I can't say…"
"Why not?" Gumi asked blinking while fumbling on her phone.
"I don't want it scattering around who the Gemini is…" Rin said wiping her hands with a paper towel. "You know how cruel some people can be. I don't want the Gemini getting into trouble because I've been shooting guys down. It's the reason why I never mention the Gemini by name."
"You can trust us." I said reassuring her.
"I know… But it's still too risky. And I'm not one to take risks where the Gemini's safety is concern. I hope you understand." Rin said giving us an apologetic smile.
'When Len said she's tight-lip about the Gemini, I guess he wasn't kidding.' I thought trying to think of someway but nothing.
I then saw Gumi flash her phone at me. The screen was displaying a name, she had called him and he was on now. What is Gumi trying to do?
(Gumi's POV)
Doesn't look like we'll get anything about the Gemini, so I'll switch to plan B instead… Smirking showing Miku my phone, I had it on silent when Rin was busy washing up on the sink and then called Len. He is currently listening on us.
"Hey Rin… What do you think about Len?" I asked paying attention to her expression.
"Len…?" Rin echoed blink.
I tried hard not to laugh, looks like I got her unguarded.
"He's a very cute Princess…" Rin squealed.
"Huh…" Miku and I echoed. Rin thinks of Len as a Princess. "A Princess…" Miku and I laughed a bit.
"And I suppose you consider yourself his Prince Charming?" Miku asked in a joking manner.
Rin placed her forefinger at her chin thinking. "No, I don't like dealing with politics, those sort of stuff are so difficult to handle. And it would be difficult for me to see in the dark."
"Then a Knight in Shining Armor?" I quipped Len would probably be very embarrassed having the girl he likes to think he's a Princess. But I can't help it. 'So, sorry Len…'
Rin shook her head. "I suppose that isn't so bad. But if anything else, I think I would prefer the role of loyal servant." She added bowing.
That certainly is a bit strange. "Why a servant?"
Rin was then fixing her hair clips that went disarray. "Hmmm… That way I can better protect the Princess."
Miku and I looked at her strangely. A servant better in protecting a Princess… How strange.
"Unlike a Prince and Knight, servants tend to be ignored because of their lowly stature. They simply blend on the background." Rin explained.
"I never thought of it that way." I said frowning. "But were getting out of subject, what else do you think of Len?"
"Hmmm, let's see. Although he could compose, his talent still runs more on drawing…" Rin said patting her nose.
"Len draws?" Miku said surprised as if it's the first time she's heard of this.
"Yes, he's been very good at it." Rin said. "Although I have to say Aunt Lily said he hasn't been drawing for years. I wonder why he stopped."
"This is the first time I've heard of Len drawing." Miku said bewildered.
"Anyways I think we're making the boys wait don't you think." Rin said and walked out of the bathroom.
I raised my phone and Miku came closer. "Well Len, what do you think?" I asked to the person on the other line. It was quiet for a while.
"How'd she know I can draw?"
"So, you can really draw." Miku piped in.
"Used to actually."
"Doesn't that confirm that you have a chance with her?" Miku said. "After all if she knows that much about you which I didn't by the way." She pouted.
"I hadn't really drawn anything for years… Until recently."
There was something about that statement… A creepy smile crept up our lips… I know this because I could see Miku's.
"I wonder what kind of Rin drawings they are." I said. Miku released what sounded an evil giggle to me.
"W-w-wa? How'd you-" Then there was silence and then the beep beep sound. Len had just hanged up on us.
Miku and I snickered. So, Len had hanged up, but not without giving himself away. So he had been drawing Rin. This is good blackmail material. I then pocketed my phone and followed Miku outside.
(Len's POV)
We all enjoyed riding games well into the afternoon and now it was getting dark. We decided to eat then go home afterwards. The good thing about this place is that the food court has a stage were people who are brave enough go on stage to sing or bands play.
We were seated a little to the side waiting for our food. The table was rectangular Miku, Rin and I seated to one side with me between them and Kaito Gumi and Gumiya at the other with Gumi in the middle. Our side was a bit dark so no chance of people recognizing us even if we were to remove the glasses.
Miku shrieked pointing at the stage. We all stared at the stage. There was a band that had just finished playing and was now clearing up their instruments. One of them was a teal-haired guy I recognized.
"I didn't know you have a twin Miku." Rin commented to which Gumi and Gumiya nodded.
Kaito and I burst to laughter. Rin looked at me.
"What's so funny?" She asked.
"A lot of people tend to mistake Miku and Mikuo as siblings, twins even but they're not." I said explaining. "They're actually 'distant cousins'." I added giving emphasis on the two last words.
"Oh…" The three chorused.
Rin looked at Mikuo again. "And you guys keep on saying Len and I, are probably related when here's Miku's distant cousin who could pass off as her twin."
"Well, they're still related you know." Kaito said.
"How distant exactly?" Rin asked Miku.
"I'm not sure I don't keep track of those things." Miku said thinking. She then took out her phone and dialed a number. "Hi Mikuo~ Guess what…? Can you find me in the crowd?"
Mikuo then looked around. Unfortunately because it was too dark to see anything. Miku then waved and Mikuo hopped off the stage and walked towards our side of the table.
"Hey, Miku…" Mikuo greeted giving a suave smile, though he only gives that to Miku. He then scanned the faces and frowned when it landed at me before quickly masking it. I don't know why dislikes me. He then faced Miku and said; "Night out?"
"We haven't got caught yet." Miku said putting her forefinger at her lips.
"Probably because of the shooting, we're lucky." Rin said. "You play in the band?"
"Yeah…" Mikuo said peering at Rin. It was probably too dark for him to make out her appearance.
"Anyway why not get up on stage and sing with us?" Mikuo said nudging Miku.
"No way! We just managed not to get any attention all day and we're nearly going home no need for any furor." Miku said punching him in the shoulder.
"They have masks backstage you could wear those." Mikuo suggested.
"Wouldn't she still be recognized by her voice?" Gumi said tilting her head.
"Unless she sang a song she doesn't usually sing. People might just think that she sounds like the 'Hatsune'." Gumiya said then he added. "Well, in my opinion at least."
"Yeah, you could careless, unless it's about soccer." Gumi commented elbowing Gumiya to which he simply shrugged.
"Hmmm…" Rin looked at me which doesn't bode well for me. "I suppose it could work."
"Rin… What are you thinking? And why are you looking at me like that?" I asked I could feel myself sweating.
"It's a good chance to try that one out don't you think?" Rin said smiling.
I reddened at that. Well, Rin made the song in the male perspective but it was originally a girl's or rather to say it was Miku's song.
"But…" Len said.
"Come on… It's a good thing to try it here. Besides you were going to introduce it to your manager later. Why not have the original singer hear it." Rin said looking at Miku, to which Miku looked just confused. "Then you could ask her for approval afterwards." She added nudging me.
I fidgeted a bit and with a sigh nodded. "You help me hide. I don't want it scattering around yet." I said as I stood up.
Rin also stood up and together we went backstage. With a confused look from the gang and Miku's cousin. We pass by the watcher with a wave and he gave us a thumbs up for encouragement. We came upon the other band members. The red head with drill ponytails looked familiar to me where have I seen her before.
As they passed us I notice Rin looking at a guy with dark hair. When he passed us he stopped in front of Rin. Rin unabashed by her staring remained her eyes on him. This got me a bit worried.
"Hi, there miss." He said tilting Rin's chin. As if he meant to kiss her, Rin was not protesting or saying anything.
I coughed making my presence known. As if I would let a random guy do whatever he wants. The guy looked me over and smirked.
"Boyfriend?" The guy asked Rin completely ignoring my presence.
"That's none of your business!" I said clenching my fists.
"VY2 is my stage name but Yuma is my name and I give privilege to the pretty ladies." Yuma said winking at Rin.
Rin puffed out a breath. "As if I would waste my precious time on your privileges." Rin said reaching for my hand and led me away from the guy.
I looked back at Yuma resisting the urge to stick out my tongue. He seemed to be in deep thought at the obvious rebuff. Must be a playboy and of that I'm not surprised when I saw a beautiful red head cling to his arm taking his attention off Rin.
"What was that all about?" I asked Rin looking at her with concern. Her looking at Yuma unnerved me. Does she have the hots for the guy?
"Nothing… There's just something off about him…" Rin said. "It doesn't matter for now." She added letting go of my hand as she went over the costumes.
I was about to ask but I sooner forgot as I saw Rin rummaging through the chest of accessories. I scratch the back of my neck. I was a bit uneasy I mean Rin had never shown interest in a guy before, but why now. What am I thinking, as if I'm her boyfriend, hahaha. Me and my wild imaginations.
"Here…" Rin tossed me a mask that had swirly designs on it and a headphone. "I won't leave you alone up there. Once you finished I'll sing too. Or do you want to do a duet?" She asked.
"A duet won't be bad I suppose." I said wearing a mask.
"Let's not do an original though. The audience will be curious." Rin said patting her cheek.
"How about Electric Angel?" I asked looking at her.
"That'll do. I'll join you after you're done." Rin said patting my shoulders. "Go knock 'em dead." Rin said patting my cheek for luck and walked to the DJ area that was at the side of the stage to set up her music player.
I saluted and went out to the stage wearing the headphone on my head. I tapped the mic and tested it. It seemed operational.
"Good evening everyone… Are we having fun tonight?" I asked and the crowd cheered. "Ok, let's continue the fun shall we. I'll be singing World is Mine." When I said that the crowd began to laugh.
Yeah I know because it was essentially a girl's song. Miku's song to be more precise and in Miku's song she does a lot of hip swinging. I looked at our side of the table. The guys were faced palming while the girls cheered.
The song then began to play with the drums introduction. I started singing my lyrics are a bit different from Miku's. Miku's song goes about how a guy should treat her, like a princess. My song is about how I treat the girl like a princess. Same maybe but not exactly.
The audience clapped and cheered. There were hoots of nice and all that. Well, I owe this thanks to Rin. She was the one who came out with it and had me practice it. She also got interested Miku's and Kaito's older songs and remade some of them.
Rin who was wearing the same designed mask as me, then joined me on stage as the next song began to play. We began with a series of dance movements.
This was also Miku's song about her loving her owner. You could say Rin had tweak the song a bit and made the sound retro and with us singing it the meaning became a bit different, it became about two people loving each other.
As our song ended another round of applause engulfed us. Rin and I bowed and made our exit. As Rin took her player from the DJ corner we were currently alone back stage. So, I took it as my chance and grabbed Rin's hand.
Rin looked back at me in a smile waiting for me to say what it is I want to say. She was always like that with me. Most people get annoyed but Rin no, she was always patient.
I reached for the letter at my shoulder bag. Breathing deeply and feeling the heat of my face I faced Rin and suddenly the lights went out. Suddenly there were screams coming outside as people began to panic from the sudden light out.
"What's going on? It's just a blackout." I stated frustrated that my chance had been snatched away. But the letter was already in my hand.
"The back-up generator though should've turned on fast." Rin said holding my hand tightly. "Ah gads no…" I heard her whisper when I was suddenly yanked to the direction of the exit I think.
Smoke started coming in from the direction of the stage. There was something strange about this smoke. I lost the grip on my letter.
"Wait!" I yanked my hand away but Rin wouldn't let go.
"Len something's happening outside." Rin explained yanking me back.
"I lost something." I said desperately trying to reach the letter that was somewhere on the floor.
"Forget about it." Rin said stubbornly.
'I can't just forget about it!' My mind screamed at Rin's apparent disregard of my panic for the letter. There were noises coming from the audience and there was the sound of a fire alarm.
"Need to leave now!" Rin said and I was pulled back and felt the sudden blur of things I don't know what in the world was happening. People were in panic, I don't know where the others are.
I just hope everyone is safe…
(Mikuo's POV)
'Damn it! Of all the times this has to happen why now?' I thought as I took my shades that was on my pocket and put them on.
This shades were specially made for agents like me who secretly work for them. The public isn't aware of our existence.
With the shades on, it makes me able to see Sin. You would think that Sins would be like hideous monsters of sorts, but no. Their actually smoke that floats in the air, they could only take form when they possess a host to take their appearance in.
I lost Miku during the panic as she left the table to go to the bathroom. People suddenly started running when a spark started a fire by the stage. I caught sight of Miku but what I saw made my blood run cold.
Miku was being enthralled by a Sin and it was currently in the stage of possessing her. Such transition is quite difficult to interrupt, but as if I'll let a Sin possess her. As I was making my way to her something flew in her direction. It hit her square in the forehead. The Sin was strangely being absorbed by the strange item. I made my way to Miku's side.
"Miku are you ok?" I asked checking her pulse, her forehead.
"Yes, I'm fine just a little dizzy. What happened?" Miku asked.
"Believe me, I'd like to know that too." I said as I helped her up, but not before looking for the item that absorbed the Sin it was a few distance from us. The thing looked like a bottle but it disappeared as someone kicked off. "Let's go now… It's not safe here." I said leading Miku away. To me Miku's safety comes first.
"The others…" Miku said drained from almost being possessed.
"I'm sure their fine…" I said holding her close to me. I then carried her bridal style and moved among the panicking crowd. I'd ponder about what I saw earlier, for what I had witness was very vital.
(Normal POV)
The amusement park was deserted as a few personnel of the Institution roam around inspecting every area they could.
A teal-haired boy along with a red haired man were currently heading towards the food court to investigate what the teal-haired guy witnessed earlier.
"Are you sure about what you saw Mikuo?" A red haired guy asked. "With the chaos earlier you could've just been seeing things.
"I know what I saw Ted…" Mikuo said combing his hair back in frustration. "I should've tried and taken the item…" He added frustratingly.
"I doubt if you could find it with the people kicking it around." Ted said.
"Thanks for trying to make me feel better." Mikuo said.
When they reached the place however it was being trashed by a young woman who seemed to have been crazed and had long claw like nails.
"Oh shit…" The two chorused as they saw through their shades that the woman had been possessed by multiple Sins. They took out their guns and aimed it at the woman and started firing. The woman unfortunately was very good at dodging.
The woman had managed to injure Mikuo by the side of his stomach. He and Ted had had been having a difficult time. They've already called back-up but their location was too far away.
"What do we do?" Ted asked panicking. "This woman is too strong…" He added as he half dragged half-carried Mikuo as far as he can from the woman.
Ted then noticed that the woman was holding something on her hand. He squinted trying to look much more clearly what it was, it could be a weapon. But as he noticed it was an envelope.
"Is that an envelope?" Ted said aloud.
"Did you just say an envelope?" A female voice said.
Ted quickly turned around and pointed his gun at the source of the voice. It was the doorway towards the backstage. A figure came out. The person was wearing some kind of white robe that made it difficult to see her form. She was looking at the woman more particularly at the letter in her possession.
"That isn't yours sweetheart…" She said approaching the woman. "Give it to me." She added in cold voice.
The woman growled and ran straight for her arms out stretched.
"Hey!" "Watch out!" Mikuo and Dell yelled simultaneously.
The girl dodge the woman easily, but the woman kept on coming back for her. Finally the woman had managed to jump on the girl and pushed her down to the ground the woman hovering above her. The woman grasped the girl's neck.
Ted was about to help the girl but another Sin possessed man ran through him. Mikuo and Ted fired their guns on the man but all the man did was howled in pain.
"Damn it! Another multiple possessed." Mikuo said reloading his gun.
The woman's hand grasped the girl's neck tightly. But the girl seemed to be reaching out for something. It was a crystal bottle.
The girl grabbed the bottle and poised to smash it to the woman. The bottle suddenly turned into a knife of some sort. She then stabbed the woman on shoulder.
The woman screamed as the Sin began to be absorbed by the knife. The woman then lost consciousness.
"This is what I dislike about multiple Sin possessed people." The girl muttered coughing rubbing her neck as she pushed the woman off her. "You're so difficult to deal with." The girl said as she pulled out the knife out. Surprisingly no there was no blood pouring out of the marked. There was no wound but there was a tear from the knife stab.
The girl then threw the knife at the man and it hit his back. The man howled then lost consciousness. She then picked up the letter the woman was holding.
"What is so important about this letter?" The girl said looking at the letter. From the corner of then envelope there was something written. "Oh, how very curious…"
The girl unfazed by what she had just experienced moments ago began walking away from the park.
"Hey!" Ted screamed.
The girl stopped and looked back at him, her figure still obscure by the robe she was wearing.
"Who are you?" Ted asked, panting from exhaustion. What seemed like hours of fighting was a matter of fact only a few minutes passed.
"That's for me to know and for you to wonder…" She said and made a bow that is similar to a butler. She then walked away without looking back as if nothing out of the ordinary happened.
"Shit… She's better than us." Mikuo muttered looking at the unconscious man. Beside the man was a small bottle. He then fainted having too many shocks for one night… Life as an agent was certainly not this crazy before.
To be continued…

Orika: YES! I'm still alive people! Been busy too much and too tired that I get lazy to type and just sleep once I hit my soft fluffy bed. XD Here are answers to some questions Reviewers leave me:
Clawdiana: Their not related really... But because they are close friends and to the fact that Rin frequents Len's home (though the story doesn't say much) she began calling Lily as aunty or Lily may have asked her to call her as such, either way it simply means she is close to the family, a family friend you may say.
i love pink: The story can be a bit confusing, no? Let me explain it the best I can without revealing too much. First the answer to your question is they are neither. They are normal beings not a shadow, silhouette nor a mirage. One Human and the other remains a mystery. I think you got the idea of one of them being a shadow of the other because of the Gemini Shadow alias (So, there'll be no confusion) Len referred to himself at the end of chapter 7.
I'll clear that… Len refers to himself as the Gemini Shadow because of the fact that he has been following Rin's reincarnations through her past life cycles. Just like how a shadow follows a person.
For additional information… Due to something that happened years before, Len (who is currently Rin) had switched their bodies because of yet unmentioned reason. If you go back to chapter 7 and read the Girl's POV typed in italic, that is actually a flash back though it is a bit short and doesn't tell much. I will switch them back… Eventually…
Samuel98: As you said Story of Evil takes place so far into their past. Not that I'm taking the plot of the Story of Evil to the letter in this story. So those previous lives have gone passed a long time ago.
As you know, Story of Evil has four main songs: Daughter of Evil, Servant of Evil, Regret Message and Re-Birthday. If you look at the ending of any Re-Birthday videos and the lyrics which can also be found at Chapter 8 they all end in one conclusion: Allen is freed from his prison saying that he'll be seeing Riliane soon. In some of the videos Len and Rin as Vocaloids are shown being together again. It doesn't necessarily mean Allen and Riliane are still alive, only that they have been reincarnated as different people. Although in my story it will be different and that is all I am going to say on the subject.
Orika: On another note on Gero's classic version PV of Servant of Evil I tried looking up what the message in the bottle Len gave Rin at the end means. "Il v a l'avec un sourire" if I'm reading it right, guess some of it were wrong or some letters missing because the translator came out as French for "v with a smile". I thought it could be "Live with a smile", unsatisfied, I tried translating it word per word. l'avec = with the, un = a, sourire = smile, Il has no translation so does the v and a so I translated this together Il va = it will, and this is the whole I came up with, "It will with a smile". Does this make sense? It doesn't to me so I'll just freaking think it was "Live with a smile" unless someone tells me otherwise.
I must say this is the longest chapter yet. Review please… Anything is welcome under Moon & Sun… Until next time…
