Hey people! I know Halloween isn't for another whole two months but I'm already in the Halloween-y mood! And yes I said Halloween-y XD. I'm too excited for it I wanted to just do one chapter dedicated to Halloween for now since I'm too excited to wait until its actually October hahaha.
A half an hour later IA and Rin were at an actual costume store, willing to be real costumes instead of coming up with their own ideas, but it was still fun all the same. Rin walked up and down the isles and nothing screamed out "IA!" at her and she pouted gently up until she saw one outfit that truly caught her eye and it was something she believed IA would very much like. It looked like a dress and she knew it was but it looked kinda like a priestess outfit like in the animes she had watched, it had long silky white billowing sleeves that would reach the middle of IA's middle finger, it only had a skirt which would go up to her knees, there a belt that was made out of silk or satin, Rin didn't know which, and she smiled knowing IA was going to like it, it even came with matching boots too which were pretty cute but it was the pink and black colors that stood out to Rin and she knew it was absolutely perfect for IA.
She smiled running off in the direction IA took and smiled a bit more keeping the costume behind her back. IA looked through the costumes pulling each one out but her mind was slowly drifting back to her family over and over again. Rin didn't know how sick and twisted her step father was, didn't know how messed up her mother was, she didn't want to tell Rin, she wanted to start over but she knew she would need to exlpain herself as to why she and her sister were just staying there, they truly needed to know wh they can no longer stay in that house stood in place her mind somewhere else when suddenly her eyes narrowed in on something bright yellow and she picked it up.
It was a little cat costume, it was yellow to which Rin would look good in, their was cute cat ears and the outfit itself looked a little sexy but appropriate all the same, there was tight that were a soft, almost candle flame yellow, a deep golden skirt that would rest just near the top of her thighs if anything it'd be a touch or to longer than that, there was an off the shoulder shirt that was a yellow that was a touch lighter than the golden skirt but it all matched so beautifully, IA believed Rin would be so amazing in. She smiled holding it behind her back just as Rin came running up to her and she smiles as she holds the outfit tight in her hands keeping it hidden from Rin's line of sight, but she probably wouldn't have noticed, she looked so amazing and bouncy and happy at that moment IA felt like giggling just a little bit. Rin leaned in kissing her cheek making her blush gently and she immediately kissed her cheek back in response, softly and sweetly, which made Rin giggle gently.
"IA I found a costume for you!" Rin says proudly pulling the costume out from behind her back and IA immediately loved it.
"Thank you Rin! I found you something to." IA says smiling widely, even as guilt prickle inside her and she knew she would have to get it out in the open soon about why she and ONE were suddenly living with her. She pulled the cute cat costume out from behind her back, much as Rin had done and she saw a pure happiness wash over Rin's face that was so strong, she couldn't stop smiling at her.
"Oh my god! IA! Its so cute I love it! We should try them on." Rin says her voice holding a sweet tone and they grabbed the costumes from one another and walked to the dressing rooms.
IA smiled gently as she shedded out of her clothes and held the costume in her hands looking at the silky fabric and she smiled a bit more when she stepped into the dress. It fit her so beautifully, it made her chest stand out yes, but the dress was so soft against her skin and she loved sleeves reached the tips of her middle fingers and the skirt rested at her knee length, the dress was black and pink, utterly beautiful, and she had slid the black cute, one could use chic as how they were or so she thought they were chic in a way, and smiled at how they fit her perfectly. The outfit just fit like a glove, loose in some places, tight in others that hugged her snuggly, she loved it and she was happy Rin picked it out for her.
She stepped out of the room and she realized that Rin had just stepped out of her changing stall also and a soft blush spread across her face as she looked at Rin, even though it wasn't supposed to look erotic, it kind of was to was wearing the outfit which had fit her pretty well or so she thought, the skirt dnaced dangerously at the near top of her thighs, the off the shoulder shirt however, hugged her tight so it looked snugged but Rin was grinnning even as a blush formed from the intent stareIA was giving her, she also had the cat ears place perfectly on her head and because her hair was so long and thick, it hid the headband so it looked like she had real ears and the tail was a brilliant yellow, her tights were a pretty deep gold with glitter in it but not the kind that rubbed of, she had on about one inch tiny heals that were a brilliant gold color. In short, Rin was probably the cutest and possibly sexiest IA had ever seen and a giggle erupted from Rin's lips as she smiled brightly.
"Your staring at me is making me blush IA. What do you think of it?" Rin says moving in a circle her hands placed on her hips. Normally it'd be slutty on girls but for them, it both looked sexy yet decent, which was indeed amazing.
"It looks amazing on you Rin." IA says her voice cracking just a tiny bit for some strange reason even as she blushed slightly looking at Rin.
"Well yours does look pretty amazing on you too." Rin says smiling and walked closer to her, she slid her arms around IA's waist gently and IA smiled moving her arms around Rin, her hands resting on the middle of her back gently, as her forehead touched Rin's. She felt so blissful, just standing within Rin's arms, there was desire yes, but it didn't form strongly as it did, it stayed dormant, she felt to much bliss and happiness being with Rin just as they are.
"I'm glad you think so since you are the one that picked it out." IA says chuckling gently as she kisses Rin's cheek softly. They were going to start taking it a bit slower, even if Rin or her didn't want too it needed to be done for if they just jumped right into it it would be too fast for IA to really comprehend it.
"I know, it just screamed you so I knew you'd love it, come on lets go get dressed, buy these, then go home and maybe lay in bed with me?" Rin asks hopefully her eyes holding a sweet look to them and it made IA's heart all but melt. She couldn't even begin expressing how much she loved the hyper active blonde. She smiled gently leaning down locking her lips with Rin's and kissed her softly and slowlyher arms tightening around her. When she pulled away Rin smiled widely.
"I would absolutely love to lay in bed with you." IA says smiling and turned to their stalls walking in and got out of the costumes which took a little while but eventually got back in their clothes and walked out holding the costumes in their arms. They walked up front where Rin's father stood waiting and he smiled when he saw them come into his line of sight.
"Hey girls! I see you got costumes picked out?" He asks raising a dark brow and the girls grin nodding.
"Yeah Papa their really nice! I'm happy you take us today. Thank you Papa!"
"You are welcome Rin. Oh yeah by the way your mother called, I guess your aunt is coming with Rui and Rei this weekend." He says as he pulls his wallet out. They say their thanks and walked out the front doors. ((A/N: I know the Kagene twins are just shadows of Rin and Len but for this story I'm just making them cousins just because I wanted to work the Kagene twins and even the Haine twins which is another version of Len and Rin!))
"Aww really?" Rin say pouting softly and IA gave her a curious look and she realized she never told IA ever that she had cousins.
"Yes really. They won't be staying in the house with us, but they'll be over frequently for the next week. I think Rui said something about wanting to see you again Rin, she misses you."
"But Rui is scary when she's mad!" Rin protested her blue eyes wide.
"Come on Rin, you and Rui used to be best friends when you were ten, there's no difference now!"
"Yes there is Papa! You just said it! Me and her USED to be best friends! We haven't seen each other for eight years!"
"It won't be that bad, plus you can introduce IA to your aunt, if there's trouble however she'll be gone, whether she's your mother sister or not I don't like homophobic people." Her father says as they walked out to the car.
"Fine." Rin sighs out as she climbs in the front seat, IA sitting right behind her and she still felt IA's curiosity.
"Rin I never knew you had cousins." She says her voice sounding very confused. Rin sighed again.
"Their cousins yes, Rui and Rei are our cousins, we call them shadows, because they just look like another version of me and Len, then there's our other cousin, she's got a twin too just like me,Len and Rui and Rei her names Lin Haine and her brother's name is Ren Haine, strange I know! She seems depressed at times but still she's very shy, Ren just get's angry if someone messes with her in any way shape or form. Their good cousins, we just haven't gotten to know each other well."
"I would love to meet them. Its only Rui and Rei who's coming this time right?"
"Yes, Lin and Ren come next time."
"Then I can't wait to meet them! Even if their supposed to be just "shadows" of you and Len it doesn't matter to me, cousins are cousins, I wish I had some, your so lucky Rin!"
"IA, cousins can drive you crazy sometimes, Rui and Rei are so protective of each other its not even funny!"
"But aren't you and Len protective of each other though?"
"Yes but not to the point its so thick you can barely go near one or the other alone! Rei even protects Rui from me when I go up to her and we're by ourselves!"
"Still, I will meet her, trust me I can probably get me you and her alone, don't you believe in my powers of sweetness?" IA says jokingly as they pull up to the house and Rin just grins widely.
"Your too sweet!" She says laughing out loudly, her face all but lighting up as the tension of mentioning the Kagene's all but melt away. \
When IA didn't laugh back was when she turned back around her laughter dying down herself and she looked at IA's face. It was so pale it reminded her of snow, her eyes wide and her eyes were dark with fear, she was also trembling like a leaf which was strange. Just as she opened her mouth to talk to IA she heard her father speaking to someone and she turned her head to see another man. He was tall, could be described as lanky almost, he had very dark hair, darker than her own father's hair, he had bright intelligent green eyes and pale skin but there was something about him. . . something he had underneath the polite smile and charm it. . . just made her skin absolutely crawl and when his eyes met hers she dropped hers down a bad chill running through her body when IA got out of the car, her bag held tight in her hand and she saw ONE peek out the window and IA's determination hardened her.
She was going to protect her sister no matter the cost. She felt Rin's confusion as she scrambled out of the car but she couldn't look at Rin right then, her resolve would die and her fear would pulsate and rush through her like it wanted too. IA walked up to the front door and stopped just some spaces away from the tall dark haired man and her blue eyes met his hard green knew the words she was going to say would change everything but it didn't stop her from saying it, she tightened her jaw once, threw her shoulders back and lifted her head like a princess would almost and her eyes hardened to the point they reminded Rin of dark hard crystals. Then IA opened her mouth to speak.
"Hello Father."
