Disclaimer: If I did own Vocaloid...(*evil laughter*)
Rin's P.O.V
"…Len, what do we do?" I whispered in a frantic whisper to him. He shrugged, his eyes wide. First off, what was Luki here for? And, why were Miku and them here? I groaned slightly to myself.
"I'm waiting here for an answer," Miku said impatiently.
"Doesn't mean I have to give you one," I shot back. Yeah, I was a little feisty today. Len grabbed my hand, and I felt myself calming down at his touch. I took a deep breath. There was really nothing I could do… but, that was a lot of people who would know.
"Rin, I need to talk to you," Luki said. I held up my finger to show for him to wait. One problem at a time. He shrugged.
"So, the new transfer student knows what's going on, but we don't?" Miku asked.
"…I'm not even friends with you. Why is it a big deal for you?" Feisty mode is back. I think it was that time of the month for me.
"Well, it's rude to say that to people who want to be friends with you." I sighed. What was I supposed to say to that? I rubbed my temples, and looked at Len once more. He shrugged, and whispered, "Tell them?" I sighed once more, and turned to where the four people were waiting.
I stepped forward. "Hi, my name is Rin Kagamine, although you know me as Rin Akita." They gaped at me, and I shrugged. Looking back at Len, I said, "I tried."
"Rin…."
"Fine. As I said, my name is Rin Kagamine. Daughter of Rinto and Lenka Kagamine, twin of Neru Kagamine. I am the sole heir to Kagamine Enterprises, and everything related or connected to it. Let me make this very clear from the beginning: you tell anyone, and you will be in loads of trouble. You cannot tell your best friend, father, boyfriend, or even your goldfish. You got me?"
"..And if I don't believe you?" Miku asked.
"Makes my life a lot easier. Please, don't believe me. Seriously. I'm not going to waste any of my time trying to convince you." I didn't like telling them. I was fine with telling Len, since I just automatically trusted him, but I didn't want to tell anyone else. As if sensing my unease, or mistrust, or whatever was going through me, Len wrapped his arm around me. I looked up, and he smiled down at me, although his smile looked sad for some reason.
"We could leave if you want," Len said. I shrugged.
"I can't exactly leave them here. I mean… that would be dangerous. I have got to hope that no one is watching. Their lives could be in danger… maybe I should move schools?" I whisper-asked Len.
"NO! NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! NO WAY IN HECK!" Len shouted. Miku and the others eyed him in curiosity. I shrugged.
"Well… I wasn't say that I don't believe you, but could you explain more?" I sighed, and told them the entire story. I left out some things, though—parts about Neru and what my father told me, and stuff like that. I only liked telling Len those things. "So, that's it," I finished lamely.
"Where does Len come into this," Kaito asked.
"Well, you know how Meiko—she is a family friend, and knows my who I really am—assigned me to tutor Len. Well, I was tutoring him one day and a kidnapping occurred, and Len saw who I was. After sometime, we both fell for each other… and, we are now dating." I blushed slightly, and Len smirked. I rolled my eyes. "He knows everything. He also… showed me this place that—"
"—you are never coming back here," Luki interrupted. What?
"Pardon, Luki?"
"You heard me. You are never coming back here—I will ensure it. I'll tell your father about this place."
"What? Why?! This is like, the only place where I can truly be myself," I protested. No way he was going to take this place away from me. I would sneak out if I had too, but that would not happen.
"It's dangerous, Rin. You spend too much time with your disguise off, running around in the open. The attempts have been getting worse, and you are getting a bit rusty."
"What?! I'm per—" I was cut off when suddenly Luki was right next to me, his foot less than half an inch away from my face. I flinched slightly.
"Don't forget that you aren't the only one who is trained to fight. Before, I would have been on the ground, whimpering possibly. You didn't even notice, after you stopped practicing."
"Well, you can't decide that," I said.
"No. But, your father can. And he would say the same thing. And, your boyfriend doesn't care enough about you to bother saying this, so—" Luki's words were cut off by Len punching the side of his cheek.
"Don't you dare say that," Len hissed. Luki glared. What's up with them? They had been acting like this lately.
"Want to fight, shota boy?" Luki taunted.
"I am NOT a shota, you pink haired FREAK," Len shot back.
"Lying to yourself if a self of denial," Luki countered. "And, I happen to like my hair."
"No, I'm not denying myself. And, liking your hair doesn't change the fact that you are a freak."
"Okay, both of you stop it!" I said. They both looked at me. "Luki, I will not stop coming here. No matter what you do. But, I do understand that I need to start practicing and working on my fighting once again. We can have a fight in a couple of weeks, and you will see. You know me. I adjust quickly."
"Haha," Len said. "Rin scolded you."
"Len, shut up."
"…Meanie."
"Miku, Kaito, Miki, and Piko, could you please keep this a secret from everyone? Please?" They all agreed. "I…er, so—" my phone beeped and looked down to see I had a text from my mother.
To: The-crazy-kid-WAIT!-she-is-my-kid!
From: Mom
Hey, RinKins. Come home? Neru wants to spend time with you.
To: The-Lady-Who-Calls-Herself-My-Mother
From: Rin
Eheehe… mom, what if I said my secret got out again? This time by four people instead of one?
…No reply. That was odd. I thought that she would be pissed. My phone began ringing, and I answered. "Rin s—"
"RIN KAGAMINE, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING TELLING OTHER PEOPLE? YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS, AND—" my mother is usually a calm person, but when it comes to my safety, she goes berserk. Overprotective is the word. "—AND IF YOU THINK THAT—"
"THEY STALKED ME AND I TOOK MY DISGUISE OFF! IT WASN'T MY FAULT," I screamed, disturbing her little rant.
"Too bad. You should have been more careful. You are going to be punished when you come home."
"What?! That isn't fa—"
"Come home ASAP. Bye." And she hung up. I practically screamed in frustration. That made no sense! I didn't do ANYTHING!
"You okay, Rin?" Len asked in his concerned boyfriend voice.
"No. I'm in trouble."
"What? Why? You are like, the most perfect person ever! How could you of all people be in trouble?"
"More people figuring out. Wasn't my fault, but still am in trouble, I guess. I gotta go. Sorry, everyone, but I need to go home… and yeah. Well talk tomorrow, after school. DO NOT TALK TO ME AT SCHOOL, okay? Bye." Not even bothering to hear their answer, I quickly took off. When I reached home, I found my mother standing in the foyer, looking ready to bit someone's head off. My head, probably. Joy.
"RIN KAGAMINE! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, LETTING PEOPLE FIGURE OUT WHO YOU ARE?"
"I didn't mean for them to!" I protested. My mother held her hand up.
"Quite. You are under house arrest. Meaning, school, home, school, home. For the next month." WHAT? A MONTH! I CANNOT GO THAT LONG WITHOUT BEING WITH LEN! And being in our little hiding spot!
"NO! Mom, you can't do that! And, a month is a bit unfair, isn't it?"
"I can do what I want. A month." I sighed, knowing that there was no use protesting now. Her mind had been made up.
"Fine. By the way, I need to practice fighting and stuff. So, could you get Gakupo and Luka to come soon?" They were the people who had taught me how to fight so well." My mother nodded, and dismissed me to my room. I obligated, and walked up the stairs.
*Time Skip: Next Day at School*
I sighed as I walked through the crowded halls of my prison—I mean school. House Arrest starts today. A month of boredom. Great. I suddenly caught sight of Kaito and the others milling around their lockers, talking to one another. Miki caught sight of me, and waved at me. I mentally facepalmed, and turned away from them. Stupid. Did I tell them NOT to make contact with me in this prison—I mean school. Again.
Class started almost as soon as I walked through the door. Len glanced at me. He was back to sitting in his original placing, right next to me. Luki was surrounded by fangirls. Two seconds later, a note was flicked onto my desk. 'You okay? You seem a bit off. Also, if you want to, this weekend there is that stupid dance thingy that the school hosts every year. Wanna go with me? You don't have to wear a disguise because the entire thing is a Masquerade. Sounds too perfect, right?' I felt bad that Len had put so much thought into this, and I couldn't go.
I quickly wrote 'It is. My mother put me under 'House Arrest' (aka grounded) me because I let other people figure out who I am. FOR A MONTH! Yes, I totally overused the use of an exclamation mark. Len read it, and his face fell.
'A month? That's harsh. That also means no time together… can't you do something?' I felt bad for the poor boy. Who would want to keep up with such a troublesome girl like me?
'No. She's sort of crazy… ish… not really. At least, when it comes to punishments she is. I know, I'm sad, too. Maybe—'A thought suddenly occurred to me, and I began to smile. Len stared at me as if I were crazy. 'My mother said I was under House Arrest. That doesn't mean that I can't have guests over. Want to come over? You can crash at my house the night of the dance. Anyways, Masquerades are so cliché.'
Len's face brightened. 'Sure! But, won't your mother say no? I mean, I'm sure mine would…. I would love to crash at your house, especially if we get to share a bed. If ya know what I mean ;) I agree with what you say about Masquerades, though.'
I snorted quietly to myself when I read what he said. 'Nah. My parents have a rule: if you find a loophole in something, use it. They usually apply that to punishments as well. Yeah, we can share a bed. Only if you want Neru, Akaito, Haku, my parents, Meiko, (probably) Luki, and ME to come after you, and kill you. Seriously, Len?'
'…I'll take a guest room. I want to live.'
*Time Skip: Saturday, The Day of the Dance*
The doorbell rang, and I opened it to find Kaito, Miku, Piko, Miki, and Len standing there. "What are you doing here?" I asked tiredly. It was three in the afternoon, and I just woke up because of them. I don't like people disturbing my sleep, especially on weekends were I can sleep till five. Len walked in, and kissed me on the lips for a second. I turned red. I'm awake now.
"I came to see you, and these four tagged along. So, hi Rinny! How was your sleep. Did I disturb it?" Len asked innocently. I glared, and he chuckled. He knew how important my sleep was to me.
"RAWR!" I yelled jokingly.
"You know that 'Rawr' means 'I love you' in dinosaur? Rin… I don't know what to say," Len said mockingly.
"I didn't mean it like that! And, meanie Len. You don't like me?"
"No, I like you. Possibly love," he said, and being smirking. Gathering me in his arms, Len pulled me, his face dangerously close to mine.
"Ehem… we hate to break this up, but HI!" Kaito and Miku both said in unison. I turned bright red, as well as Len, and we both coughed awkwardly.
"Come on in," I said. I lead them into my house, letting the four of them gawk at it. They followed me into the kitchen, where my mother was making oatmeal cookies. Yum. Luki was at his house, and Neru came rushing downstairs. "ONEE-CHAN! I HEARD THE DOORBELL RING! WHO WAS IT! WAS IT MY PACKAGE FOR A NEW PHONE?" She slid into the kitchen (we had wood floors, and she was wearing socks), and yelled, "WHERE IS IT—oh… hi, Len and… people."
"Hey, Neru," Len said, and opened her arms to give him a hug. Neru left him hanging as she spun in a circle and took a bit of cookie dough from where my mother was standing. "…Thanks, Neru," Len said sarcastically. I snickered.
"Um, Rin. Who are these people?" My mother asked. Neru nodded her head, her mouth covered in cookie dough. I loved how she acted like a little kid. In a way, she was.
"Well, these are... people who figured out who I am," I said. I didn't exactly want to say friends in case they didn't want to be, so I stuck to people. "This is Miku, Kaito, Miki, and Piko. Why they are here is beyond my knowledge." Neru nodded. "Oh, this is Neru. My twin. We are identical except for the eyes. And her hair is a bit more golden. Other than that, we are the same."
"Pleasure to meet you, Neru. And, Rin, we are here to… mooch off of you and your enjoyable company?" It was supposed to be a statement, but it was phrased like a question. I shrugged. "What do you want to do," I asked. They all shrugged.
"OH! I know! Let's play hide-and-go-seek," Neru yelled in her childish manner. I laughed, and looked at everyone who nodded, although Kaito said something like 'You have no idea what you just go yourself into.' "I've always wanted to try, but it has only been Onee-chan and I. Sometimes Luki. You don't think that it's too childish, right?"
Miku shook her head and smiled. "It's nice to play childish games every once in a while. Okay, since this house is so big, we are going to have partners. Make it easier on the person who is 'it.' Teams of two, and whoever is it will be alone. Until the person who is 'it' finds everyone, they will continue being it. One of the first people who are found will be it. The current person who is it will choose who they want their next partner is. When the person who is it finds you, you can help them search. Make sense?"
"Might I mention that this house is very old. Meaning that there are tons of secret passageways. That Neru and I know," I said.
"Really? COOL! New rule: you can use the passageways to get around, but you can't hide in them. Also, any rooms we aren't allowed to go in?"
"My father's study and my parents room. No hiding in bathrooms or outside. If a room has a lock, you are not allowed to lock it."
"What Rin said. Also, if someone comes out in the open because the person who is it tricked them, then that counts if the person gets them. Any trick can work. First round partners: Rin and Miki, Piko and Len, and Neru and I! Kaito is it! Ready? Set? GO!" With that, we all sprinted away from a complaining Kaito. I saw Neru take Miku's hand and drag her upstairs, and I saw Len push Piko into the basement/ 'man cave.' "Follow me," I told Miki, and I dragged her into a closet. Quickly, I turned on a light, and moved the coats hanging there. There was a small door that small person could climb through. Perfect. Kaito is too big to follow, but Miki and I were the perfect size. I turned the light off, and took my phone out, which I shinned around using a flashlight app. "I'll go first,' I whispered, and began crawling through it. It was a bit dusty, but I hope that Miki didn't care. The passageway went on for a little while, and then it came to a room that Neru and I used as a music room. There was a door to my left, the only entrance besides the secret passageway. I sat on the floor after moving a music stand out of the way. Miki joined me, and smiled cheerfully.
"I'm so excited! I haven't played this game in such a long time. How about you, Rin?"
"…Ah, I haven't played this game before. Once, maybe, with my parents. But, since I'm not allowed friends, and was homeschooled when I was younger, it has only even been Neru and I. So this makes me extremely excited."
"Oh! Sorry…" I shrugged. "Anyways, Rin…." We sat there for about 30 minutes, talking about the most random things. I enjoyed talking to Miki—she was sweet, and kind. Not to mention really pretty. She was also a bit shy. Pretty much the exact opposite of me. After those 30 minutes, Kaito finally found us. Well, Neru found us since she knows me so well. We were the last group to be found—the first was somehow Miku and Neru. I expected them to be better than Piko and Len, since Neru knew the house, but…. Anyways, Miku was it, and Kaito was teaming up with Neru. We switched partners, so that I was with Piko and Miki was with Len. Miku began counting, and we were off.
I talked with Piko for a while. He was also nice and shy, like Miki. You could tell that they both liked one another. They were going to the dance together (kawaii!). Afterward, Neru and I were together. It took about an hour and twenty five minutes for everyone to find us since we both knew the house, and would escape through a passageway when someone came near us. It was pretty epic. I was then stuck with Miku, and we were caught immediately since we both began cracking up over something she had said. I was it, and I found Kaito and Len first. Len and I then paired up. After a few more turns (since each round took like an hour because the house was so big), everyone had to go and get ready. Len stayed behind (he had already brought his stuff), and Neru had to go get her weekly check-up done with my mother. Leaving Len and I alone. "So, Rin. What do you want to do now?"
"...You thinking what I'm thinking," I replied.
"Yeah. You wanna play around, don't ya?"
I smirked. "Of course… it should be tons of fun. You experienced?"
"Plenty."
"VIDEO GAMES!" We yelled in unison, and we ran upstairs into the media room. Now, some girls may have found it pathetic that I was spending time doing this stuff with my boyfriend, instead of more… lustful things, but I still found playing video games with my equally otaku boyfriend really fun.
End of Chapter 11! Weird ending, but there will be more to this night! Probably the entire next chapter is going to be dedicated to it, with a cliffhanger (not going to tell you what it is :P). Anyways, you like it? Please review!
