Seeing you Upon a Golden Moon
The field was large and vast, trees framed it. Hiding it from view from the average eye. The Kagamine estate loomed in the distance, barely in view. The sun was just setting, and I could start seeing the moon. I was huddled close to Len, his fingers trailed through my hair, down my spin, to my hips and up my side.
"I love you so much Rin." he whispers painfully. My eyes meet his and I smile at him.
"Don't worry Len, everything will be okay." I promise. He sighs and hugs me close, I wrap my arms around him and hold him.
"I can't live through another lifetime without you.." he breathes.
"I'm not leaving you." I vow as I nuzzle his neck.
"Len. Don't worry about Rin, just do your job." Oliver snaps at him. Len hisses lowly and I cling to his white shirt.
"I know. I will." Len sneers, I could hear their footsteps. I pull away from Len and gently brush his cheek with my fingers. He smiles softly as he captures my hand and kisses it.
"Good luck." I mumble as he walks to Miku's side. He laughs softly.
"I hardly need luck." he muses as he relaxes. Mikuo stands beside me and I look him over.
"I won't let anyone close to you if you stay by my side." he promises me. I glance at Len and I could see some tension leave his shoulders.
"I trust you." I say softy as I turn back to Mikuo. He smiles before looking ahead. I turn my gaze to the other side of the field. Mikuo and I were in front, Oliver behind us and Len with Miku behind him. Meito enters first, flanked by other nobles. My eyes narrow as I scan them, trying to find the others I was to protect. I clench my spear tightly.
"Ah. Early as always." Meito comments as he stops a mile away from up. His voice easily reached my ears.
"Meito. If you plan to advance on this path. You will be declaring war on us. And we will not hold back." Mikuo says.
"Ah. But if you remember, if you attack first, you have to hold back. That is your abiding law." he smirks as the nobles and vampires behind him still. He glances over us before his eyes land on me.
"I would verbally attack Oliver, but you'll be much easier to get a reaction out of. You were reborn and you can barely stand still." he muses. I was the main target, but Len knew that would happen. Meito raises his head slightly in challenge and I do the same. Accepting it.
"Try your best." I muse with a slight smile.
"Tsk. You do realize you will be fighting, correct? Why wear such a gaudy dress? It'd be better if you wore nothing then that thing." Meito sighs. I glance down at my dress and blink.
"You're right." I agree as I easily pull on the seams, breaking them. The dress rips and falls to my ankles. I meet Meito's gaze again.
"Is this better?" I ask as I throw my arms out. I was wearing a gaudy corset and a simple tulle layer. He stiffens as he looks me over before smirking.
"If you weren't already taken is take you for myself." he muses. I smirk back as I glance to Len. His eyes were closed as he tried not to do anything.
"Oh, I don't know if you could handle me." I hum as I take a step forward. The nobles take a step back and I take another forward until I am standing just before Meito.
"I doubt you would be able to even handle me drinking from you. You'd be weak and crumble before me." I smirk at him. Meito bares his fangs at me. A threat.
"I'd hush." he sneers.
"You can't even think of comebacks for me and you've lived infinitely longer then I. Are you really going to let a newborn insult you?" I breath. I could feel Len stiffen as Meito snarls at me.
"Don't make me-" he starts. I look him over with a frown.
"Attack me? I doubt you will. For some reason, you are only giving me attention. Not the others. And it's either because you think I am an easy target. Or.." I trail off in thought I blink. "You like me?" I purpose. Meito rolls his eyes at me.
"I don't like you." he snaps. I purse my lips. I was about to jump out on a limb, but I could feel there was something more. The nobles shift anxiously.
"Ah. I see. You don't like me. You like who I look like." I say. Meito tenses slightly. I got him. My mouth pops open in shock before I quickly close it as I take a step back. Len said I looked like my mother, but he never said by how much. So alike that we could be mistaken for each other? My mind reels as I attempt to painfully remember Len's human memories. An image of my father flashes before my eyes and I gap.
"You don't like me. You liked my mother. You don't really care about Len, because he takes care of me, like a babysitter more then a lover in your mind. But the person you hate...the one you dislike the most." I sputter a laugh. Meito sneers at me venomously.
"Is Oliver. You hate him because my mother chose someone that looked just like him over you." I muse. Not only did Meito not know that Oliver was my brother, but he also didn't realize that I finally had him. I could feel Oliver approach my, he stands beside me, easily towering over me.
"Mm? And to make things worse we act just like they did. Arguing, fighting, threatening each other. Oh dear. Just like them. Acting distant in public, yet-" Oliver wrap his arm around me and pulls my against him. He gently kisses my forehead. "Intimate alone." he breaths. Meito's muscles clench. I glance at him before turning to Oliver.
"It really must kill you inside to see this, hm? Tell me Meito. Have you ever...dreamed of-" Oliver's fingers tangle in my hair before pulling my head to the side, exposing my neck and collarbone. "Taking a drink?" Oliver breaths against my skin. I shudder. Len snarls softly and my eyes flash to his. He was livid. His fangs extended past his lips as his gold eyes burned into Oliver. The trees swayed dangerously. Oliver's eight fangs gently touch my skin. I hear him move before I see him. I fall to the ground as Oliver slides to the side. The smell of blood taints the air. My eyes snap up to Oliver. Blood was pooling out of his side. I suck in a quick breath as I press my hands into the grass before throwing myself back.
"This means war." Oliver snarls. My muscles clench as I jump for Meito.
"Len! Miku!" I snap. He races past me with Miku on his heels. Meito dodges my spear by narrowly jumping to the side.
"Tell me. Was your plan to kill all the Royals except me?" I snap. As I narrow my eyes at him. He smirks at me. That was all the answer I needed. I jab at him and he side steps. The smell of Oliver's blood was sickeningly sweet, making my fangs ache. I couldn't feel his presence, but I never could. I had other things to worry about. Blue catches my eye and I relax as Kaito was easily holding his own against a vampire.
"Fine. Have it your way." I sigh as I stand tall. I lock on to a fuzzy memory of my mother. Meito lunges for me as a soft pink illusion grows on my fingers. I comb it through my hair before trailing my finger from my shoulder to finally rest on my hip. Mothers voice was soft, a honeyed whisper that was always heard.
"Meito." I breath as my eyes meet his red ones. He freezes. His eyes wide. His heart races as blood hammers through his veins. My illusion worked. He was seeing me as my mother. Through all the fighting, only we stood still.
"Lily." he whispers. Lily, a lovely name for my mother.
"Stop this now." I order gently. He stiffens as his awed look turns to a glare.
"Sweet dear Rin. While your mother was the one to change me, I was never favorable to her. She was always gorgeous, but that idiot husband of hers. Tsk. Ever wonder how your parents died?" he smirks at me as he holds up a blood covered stake. My eyes widen in horror as I drop my spear. I abandon the illusion. I could faintly smell the strong musk of old, dried blood.
"Heaven forbid. If I couldn't have her. Neither could he." he muses his wild red eyes meet mine as he raises the stake.
"Rin!" Len yells. My eyes widen as my hair sweeps the side as I am thrown roughly into the ground. Honey blood turns the air stale. My eyes widen as I push against the dirt. Meito was pressed up against Oliver. The wooden stake through his chest. Oliver heaves a shaky breath. My heart races as Meito snarls and releases the stake. Oliver takes a staggered step back before glancing at me with a wide smile. I dart forward as he falls to his knees. His nails dig into my skin and I yelp in pain as he draws blood.
"What are you-?!" I snap. He pulls his nails away and dabs gently at the blood in his chest before pressing it into my wounds.
"Welcome...to Royalty dear sister." he choked as he falls forward. I scream in pain as a second set of fangs harshly push their way out. Len groans from behind me as he falls to the ground. Oliver freezes before exploding into dust. I stare at it before my gaze meets Meito. He gingerly picks up the stake and rolls it over in his hands. He looks clearer, I could see every dust speck on his cloak.
"You murdered him."
"He got in my way." he snaps as he turns to me.
"He'll never come back!" I snarl as the bug crawling comes back. Len brushes my back and the feeling disappears.
"Why don't you all just sit. down." Len snaps. All the vampires fall to the ground. Len protectively curls around me. I glance at him and his all black gaze meets mine. A Royal power. I turn my gaze to Meito.
"I won't miss this time." Meito promises me. I smirk.
"Neither will I." I muse as I kick up my spear. I moved fast then him. My spear comes full circle, just as it falls...it freezes. Meito coughs up blood and I press my foot into my spear as it digs into the dirt at his weight on it. His stake was just before my heart.
"I told you I wouldn't miss." I sneer.
"Lily...my Lily..." Meito coughs.
"She was never yours. Once you are bound to someone. They will always love that person. You are a fool for thinking Lily could love you." Len snaps as Meito explodes into ash. My spear falls to the ground. We stand in silence as the other vampires were motionless.
"Either you go back to your Royal or else I will murder you here and now. You will not stand a chance against me." Len snaps at the vampires and nobles. The rise and shuffle awkwardly.
"Leave now." Len snaps. The field clears and just as the reach the brush they all hit the ground, leaving only four standing. I fall to my knees as I take a shaky breath.
"Rin..sh..." Len sinks next to me and holds me close. Miku drops before me, Mikuo behind her. I didn't realize I was shaking until Len pulls me onto his lap.
"He..he.." I stammer. Miku's black eyes meet mine.
"He did it to protect us." Miku says bravely before doubling over in tears. A sob bubbles past my lips.
"We hated him." I sob. Oliver didn't have anyone. He was completely alone and isolated.
"I know Rin...I know.." Len breaths as he rocks me gently. I sob loudly into Len's shoulder as he pats my back. It felt like hours that Miku and I just cried for. My sobs subsided to shudders now, but Len's gently consoling never stopped.
"What do we do now?" Miku breaths.
"We live without threat...like Oliver wanted.." I say softly.
"I believe...that we should take turns." Len says.
"Turns?" Miku asks.
"Yes. We don't need the four of us to rule over these vampires. Every hundred years, we'll trade places." he says gently.
"So. We rule for a hundred years and then when we aren't...?" Mikuo asks.
"We could do what ever we want." Miku breaths.
"Of course that's against rules. But just ruling isn't. As long as you call us when we need to vote on something major...it'll work nicely, a nice break." Len says as he holds me close.
"Now..who gets to rule first?" Mikuo asks after a silence.
owo
I heave a heavy sigh as I lean roughly against my hand. Len shifts in the deck beside me and a faint smile curls on my lips. We my both be well into our 20's but we both looked young for our age.
"Miss. Kagane?" our old teacher drawls lazily. I raise.
"Yes?" I ask with a smile.
"Your project was one..the Kagamine rule?" she asks after squinting at a piece of paper. "And your partner is?"
"Len." I say as I motion beside me.
"Mm..yes..alright. Come present." she says. I glance at Len before walking to the front of the classroom. Len and I had been through school countless times. And while it did get boring sometimes, it was always an interesting way to pass our time. Especially since we were already married, but as far as everyone knew, we were just dating.
"Yes. Our project is on the Kagamine rule. While my last name I can honestly say I am in no way related to Allen Kagamine." Len muses, using his full name. I purse my lips in amusement.
"The Kagamine rule started in the 1600's and lasted well into the late 1700's." I say. That was a lie. But around the 1700's is when the books forgot about us.
"The first Kagamine's were Allen and Rilliane, they met through an arranged marriage and ruled together over their subjects." Len says. Our gaze meets and I close my eyes as I push an illusion out, covering the classroom completely. They would all feel like they were in a daydream, and by time Len and I 'finished' our presentation they'd just snap out of it. Thinking they were daydream about the Kagamine rule.
"What do you think?" Len muses with a flashy smile. I laugh softly.
"I think that we only have 50 years left before we trade places with Miku and Mikuo." I say.
"I heard that they had a son." Len muses. I purse my lips.
"Is that so? Maybe we should go visit them." I murmur as I glance at Len.
"Since they had a boy, it only means that we are going to have a girl." he sighs. I blink at him.
"How do you get that?" I ask. Len smirks.
"See. Here's how it works. Since there are two sets of Royals, we each of a child and they get married. Once they are grown up, they have two children and pick two people for their children. The cycle repeats." Len says. I blink at him.
"But, Miku and I are related. The kids would be-"
"No you aren't. You had a mother, and father. She had a different mother and father. You my be 'sisters'." Len does finger quotations. "But from the lifetimes you are from now. You are in no way related." he muses. I purse my lips at him.
"Okay, okay." I roll my eyes at him
before flushing brightly.
"We're going to have a girl?" I gasp. He blinks at me.
"Don't quote me on that.." he says as he smiles softly.
"And once we have kids?" I ask hesitantly.
"We lose our marks. So when we die...we die." he says gently. I blink at him before clinging to his side.
"So let's wait on that." I mumble.
"I couldn't agree more." he laughs.
"After we graduate again, can we go back to Italy? It's always nice over there." I say.
"We can do whatever you want my dear Rin." Len promises. I smile widely before sighing.
"I guess our presentation has been long enough." I mumble.
"You are probably right." he sighs as he straightens.
"And that's how the Kagamine reign came to end." I say as I pull the illusion away. Everyone blinks in shock before bursting into an applauds.
"Oh. Thank you..Mr. Kagamine and Miss. Kagane." our teacher says as she adjusts her glasses.
"You're welcome." Len says as he walks back to his desk with me following behind him. I slide into my desk and smile.
"How'd you do that?!" a girl whispers to me. I blink at her.
"Do what?" I ask. I recognized her. She was obsessed with vampires and was always talking about them. But then again vampires were the hit 'thing' this year.
"It felt like I was actually there! As in like, looking into the life of the Kagamine's." she breaths in shock. I glance to Len and he lazily meets my gaze.
"And to top it off, Len kinda looks a lot like Allen...only his hair is a little shorter now. And he dresses better. And you..like the queen now that I think about it. Not the exact same but still." I turn back to the girl. The saddest part about attending school, was realizing that these humans only had one life. And it was only so short to begin with.
"It's all only just an illusion." I muse as I smile widely at her. Exposing my eight sharp fangs. The girls eyes widen as he mouth pops open in shock. I press my lips tightly together as I fling my hair over my shoulder and turn back to the new presenters.
"Oh my god." the girl breaths as Len and I share a wide smirk. Humans deserve a little bit of mystery in their lives.
