Hidden in Plain-sight


"Rin...?" a soft voices says close to my head. I slowly open my eyes and wince in pain.

"Don't move to fast, you hit the ground hard.." Meiko says from beside Kaito.

"I tried to catch you, but your head hit the ground pretty hard..." Kaito says softly. I groan and move to sit up with the help of Meiko and Kaito.

"Wh...where's Len?" I groan as I take in the white room around me.

"Rin...things like that should wait." Kaito warns. My eyes widen and I glance around quickly.

"Where's Len? Where did they take him? We have to find him." I order as I push off the bed I was laying on before stumbling back into the bed.

"What are you waiting for?!" I demand as I glare at Meiko and Kaito. They share a look before Meiko guides me back to my bed.

"Take deep breaths Rin." Kaito says as he hands me a file. I blink in confusion.

"What's this?"

"Len's file." Meiko says softly. The door clicks open, Miku and Luka file in along with Gumi and Teto.

"Hey Rinners." they softly, as they look me over. I frown.

"Why are you looking at me as if someone died?" I ask. Kaito clears his throat and I glance at him, earning a nod. My eyes widen as I turn to Len's file and flip it open to find my ring in a small plastic bag on top of a will.

"No..." I breathe as I look at my ring and his dog tags.

"He-he couldn't have...only I can take this ring off." I gasp.

"You did. It was clenched in your hands...we had to pry it away from you." Kaito says. My eyes widen in horror, when Len pulled his hand back...I pulled my ring off of him.

"N-no." I stammer, shaking my head. Len was NOT dead. I would need a body before I would agree to him being dead.

"Read this..." Meiko says as she pulls Len's Will out and hands it to me. I blink repeatedly before scanning through the document, my focus being drawn in by orange glitter. I take a deep breath as I read Len's simple handwriting.

'First of all, I want to say that it took me WEEKS to steal this stupid pen from you. Of course you should recognize it, it's your favorite orange glitter pen that smells like oranges. And since I successfully stole it, I refuse to give it back. On the plus side, I gave you my pen to replace it so you won't be pen-less at school, I know you'll be worried about it. Don't worry I wouldn't do something like that to you~ 3

Now...on to the serious part...if you are reading this, I am now out of action. My pension goes to you along with all the saved money I have. Also, since you are Rin Kagamine, when my father passes on, you will get my share of the family money because you will have been listed as my wife. All my earthly possessions now belong to you. You are a great spy Rin, it was a pleasure working with you.'

I fight away my tears as I clench my teeth and attempt to continue reading.

'On a side note...there is something wrong with what you told me about yourself...about thinking that you have a brother. You, in fact, didn't have a brother. But you DID however have a very close friend. Speaking of which if you find...'

I frown as tears run down my cheeks. I flip the paper over this way and that, before setting it down and rifling through his file.

"Is everything okay Rin?" Miku asks.

"No, he's still being an asshole and making my life miserable." I sniff.

"Rin..." Kaito starts. I glance at his sad blue eyes...they push me over the edge. I throw myself at him, he wraps his arms around me as he rubs my back.

"I was suppose to have been shot! Me! Not him. I am a terrible partner and spy. I should be decommissioned." I sniffle.

"That's not true Rinners, you are an amazing spy. Protecting you was Len's-" Kaito cuts short and I pull back.

"Was?" I sniffle. Meiko slaps Kaito's head, making him wince.

"It's not important." he says lamely.

"I want to know!" I cry.

"Come on Rin, we'll walk you home." Miku says softly. I glance Kaito over to see that he didn't plan on telling me anything. I wipe away my tears and raise my head.

"Lets go."

"Haku says that you are on patrol now." Teto calls after me.

I sat alone in my small apartment, tapping on the wooden table in the dining room. I clench my teeth as I glare at Len's ring that was still on my finger. It was stuck there until I died. A horrible reminder. I frown slightly as I recall Len's stupid Will. 'Speaking of which if you find...' Groaning I ruffle my hair in annoyance. Find what? I glance around the room before my eyes zero in on Len's bed. I rush at the couch, pulling the pillows off and feeling in between the cracks before flipping the couch over completely. If I find... I scan the room before rushing to the closet and ripping all of his clothes out, scattering them around the room. Nothing.

"Dammit." I hiss as tears cloud my vision. That asshole, first being out of action and now- my eyes widen and I sprint for the kitchen, throwing cabinets open, slamming the contents around. I go to pull the rice bag out and gasp as my fingers touch a piece of paper.

"Finally." I breath as I glance at the paper.

'Silly Rinny~ you can't cook' it reads in orange glitter. Tears roll down my cheeks.

"I can cook you ass, just not well." I sob, bringing my arm up to wipe away the tears. I flip the paper open and scan through Len's writing.

'If you're Haku, Fuck You.

If you're Rin, thank goodness you found this before Haku searched the place. I need you to listen to me VERY CAREFULLY Rin. This is life or death. Now. Go get in a cold bath before you read the rest. I'm serious.' I frown, I could just keep reading...but he seemed completely serious. I turn on my heel and walk to the bathroom turning on the bath, letting it fill almost completely before turning it off and stripping out of my clothes.

"This better be good." I hiss as I step into the freezing cold water before sinking down onto my knees. I grab the letter and find the place where I left off.

'Are you in the bath? You better be. Okay. How to start this...
Rin, you don't remember me at all do you? No. I know you don't.
FIND ME IN YOUR MEMORIES. I'm there. I promise. Nothing is right in your memories, you need to find the error. I CAN NOT tell you anything Rin, I already risked everything telling you that you don't have a brother. But you need to know...come on Rinny, remember me. I'll be your eyes in the sky.' I frown in annoyance as I ignore the rest of the letter. But I DIDN'T know Len before just meeting him. I set the letter down and lean back, moving my legs to stretch them out. My head rests against the bath and I close my eyes. My memories...

I was back at the orphanage. Kids ran past me as if I wasn't there, laughing an playing. A girl with blonde hair, white hair pins and white bow rushes past me, her pink dress twisting around her as she turns and smiles at the boy she was towing behind her. My eyes widen. That was me. The faceless blonde boy laughs and I freeze. And I was with my...brother...?

"Come on...we'll be late!" little girl me giggles as she rounds the corner, her bare feet hitting the wooden floor.

"Wait!" I yelp as I rush after her and the boy, only to round the corner and find them gone. I frown as I glance around, I narrow my eyes at the pictures on the inner wall, the opposite wall of the hallway was windows that showed trees and shrubs. The wall was littered with pictures of kids with smiling faces and adopted parents. Something was off...I scan the pictures before coming to a door. Frowning, I grab the handle and pull the door open to find a court yard. My eyes widen as the air around me turns ice cold. There should be a room here...not the outdoors.

"This...is wrong." I breath as I slam the door shut and glance around the hallway to find that it switched places, the windows were now on the walls beside the door I just opened and pictures on the outer wall.

"No...no...no..." I chant as I pull away from the door in horror, my head pulsing.

"This can't be right...or..."

"...!" little me screams, the name muffled as she screams out in horror. I throw the door open and the two children look at me. Little me was on the ground, pointing up at the boy in the tree.

"Are you here to adopt us?" little me asks sweetly. My mouth falls open and I shake my head no. Her smile falls slightly.

"Can you help...he's stuck." I frown.

"Help who?" I ask, looking at the faceless blonde boy in the apple tree.

"..." she says again...and again the name was blurred. My eyes widen in horror, fear claws at me as I turn to look at little me.

"What's his name!?" I scream as a shiver runs up my spin.

"...!" she screams back at me. I turn back to the faceless boy, tears in my eyes as I easily pull him off the branch he was stuck on and set him on the ground.

"B...be careful." I stammer, I say distractedly as I glance at the tree again.

"Thanks Rinny." the boy says. My eyes widen and I turn to look at the boy. He blinks his blue eyes at me in confusion before turning to little me who looks at me suspiciously.

"You...your..." I gasp.

"...lets go..." little me says as she grabs his hand and tugs, the boy looks at me before turning to follow little me. My eyes widen.

'I like holding your hand.'

'Worried about me are you?'

'Rinny~'

'Rin, I was assigned as your partner over a year ago.'

The building around me turns black and the cold bites at my skin.

"Len." I whisper in horror as I watch little me tow little Len away.

My eyes fly open as I pant.

"Dream. Dream." I chant as I stand up quickly and reach with a shaky hand for the towel. My eyes widen and I sit down, sloshing water around. I didn't have a brother, but Len and I went to the same orphanage. Why couldn't I remember him? Why couldn't...some one tampered with my memories...but why did Len still remember? How could he... My eyes widen as my lips tremble from the cold or from the coming tears, I wasn't sure.

"Come on Rin." I snap as I clench my teeth and grab my towel before standing and stepping out of the bath. I freeze as I glance at the letter. I hesitate, was I really ready to figure the rest out...? Sighing, I grab the letter and scan through it again. Eyes from the sky...eyes from...the sky...eyes from...

"I'm going to need eyes in the sky." I gasp.


OKAY GUYS! It's a race against the clock, this story is, sadly, coming to a close. BUT from here on out is twisted memories and truths, NOW. I'm thinking that after this story I will have a story full of one and two-shots...so.
