Disclamer: I don't own Vocaloid.

A Visiting Relative

A summer storm was coming to the kingdom of Diolacov . Dark clouds slowly began to roll in from the ends of the sea, pirates docked their ships, dragons flew to the shelter of their caves, and villagers boarded up their homes as protection for the rage of weather expected.

The wind kicked up making swaying the trees as if messing up a female's hair, and at the edge of the forest to the village the beginnings of the storm flicked up rocks disturbing the soil of the road.

It did not stop a black horse drawn carriage from traveling; it hastily made its way to the castle with its black stallions foaming at the mouth, snorting at the cold but determined to escape the first kisses of the foul weather.

Inside the carriage, a woman in a red and black laced dress smiled slyly at the weather, "What welcoming weather, hm?"

She petted her black ferret, stroking its silky fur and grinned, "I wonder…will you be as welcoming as the weather is, my beautiful Rin?"

The clock tower's bell rang, and at the twelfth struck Zatsune Miku, sister of Queen Miku, entered the throne room as if on que.

"My my, what dusty cold palace this has become." She flicked out her fan waving cool air to her long lashes and grinned at the Queen.

King Kaito cleared his throat, "See I knew the servants were getting a little lazy around here!" He looked over at a group of nervous servants standing by and glared.

"Welcome sister! It has been long hasn't it? Why haven't you written back? I sent you mail by pigeon!" Queen Miku stood from her chair and walked to her sister, arms outstretched.

"Silly sister of mine! Don't you know that I don't have carrier pigeons but carrier hawks? One of mine must have thought yours was dinner ahahaha!" Zastune cackled out loud.

Seeing that the Queen did not bat a lash, she quickly added, "I'm jesting darling, stop giving me cold stares now!"

"Yes, right…." Queen Miku passed a glance at Kaito who was busy ordering the servants to tidy the place up. Three figures stayed at the end of the throne room, unsure if they should approach the proud posh aunt or not.

"Oh Luka, Meiko, Rin! Do come here no! It is your aunt Zatsune, who has come from her land of Kuro Diolacov! You know, our sister kingdom!"
"Or parasitic leech." King Katio grumbled.

Princess Luka walked gracefully to her aunt, her pale pink hair flowing behind her making the servants weak at the knees. She hugged Zatsune and kissed both cheeks, "It's nice to see you again,thank you for the lovely dress you sent me."

"Oh it's nothing darling, anything for the beautiful Princess." Zatsune winked at Luka waving her fan.

Next, Princess Meiko strode in gallantly, and gave her aunt a tight hug, "Hey Auntie, thank you for the horse you sent over; he's very fast." She grinned happily.

"Don't mention it Meiko. How's being head servant going with you? And my goodness, you've gotten very handsome haven't you?" Meiko giggled, "All is well auntie!" and joined her sister's side.

Everyone's eyes locked on to Rin.

"Rin dear? You remember Aunt Zatsune don't you? You were nine when you saw her?" Queen Miku beckoned her daughter to be polite and greet her sister.

Princess Rin stood there, and for a small moment she recalled that dreadful memory of her younger days. When left alone with Zatsune, they would play a game together. She was not to tell anyone of their sensual secrets. Rin remembered tears falling from her cheeks, and being in a frozen state of fear while her aunt had her way with her.

"Rin? RIN! Come greet your aunt now!" King Kaito raised his voice, commanding his daughter.

The youngest Princess nodded and timidly walked to her aunt. Zatsune hugged her tight and then whispered in her ear so that only they may hear, "I've missed you my dear Rin."

Rin nodded and stepped back from their hug. "And you have grown into a beautiful young lady Rin!"

"Thank you Aunt Zatsune." Rin said quietly.

"Hmph, still the shy one? Well that's fine right now. Sister, we have much to discuss!" Zatsune turned to the Queen and the royal family followed them out into the garden.

Rin stayed back, her chest started to ache with past fears. Why was her aunt her now? W did she want with her?
A small droplet of water fell to the cold floors of the throne room. Wiping her tears, Rin hurried to the garden with her family, as if a dark curse was pulling her in. A servant's lavender eyes followed her, frowning to himself. "Something is not right here…."

Dishes crashed into the sink sending bubbles flying into the air.

"Careful you fool!" Gumi roared behind her mask; she wasn't wearing her glasses due to fog it would create.

"Grumpy pants…" Akita growled. "I don't see YOU doing any dishes! Just standing there and ordering me around more like it!"

Taito chuckled and ruffled the short blonde's hair, "Calm down little one. A little doing the dishes isn't going to hurt you."

Akita shoved a sponge into Gumi's hands, "Yes, a LITTLE doing the dishes wouldn't hurt. But since WHEN did the royal family decide to have a banquet? I didn't receive the memo of a party."

Len walked in with a pot of stew and set it on the counter. He rolled up his sleeves and wiped his forehead, scratching his face under the white mask, "You'd think all of this past days load of chores would be for another ball, but I heard it was for the Queen of Kuro Diolavov. You know, Queen Miku's sister, Zatsune Miku?"

Akita's eye twitched and then began punching a roast. "WHY. ARE. . ?"

"You can always quit Akita, it's not like you're forced to work here." Len pointed out.

"Yes, we don't need the loads of you around here!" Gumi grinned.

The violet haired servant chuckled, "Now now, let's just get things done here so that we may serve the visiting relative well."

"She better be visiting….or else I WILL quit." Akita grumbled.

Len pushed a food cart out the kitchen and Taito followed along with utensils. "Hey Len, um…" he scratched a bandage from his arm, "I'm not really fond of the new royal guest we have…"

Len grinned, "Neither am I Taito. She's really commanding, then again we are servants at anyone's command."

Taito stayed quiet while Len laughed, but the young servant boy stopped when he saw he was serious.

"It's just…I don't know…something with Rin. She seems pressured or something." Taito looked over at the now quiet blonde.

"I'll ask her about it when I see her. Right now these chores are keeping me from her." Len stopped in front of a closet door and Taito nodded, "You know, I can do the rest of your chores if you want."

Len lit up, "Really? That's great! I'll get to spend some time with my lovely Rin at last…ah…so wonderful heheh." The servant stood there dazed at the thought and Taito waved his hand over his face.

"Earth to Len, come on now let's get going. That's the closet door you've stopped in front of, not the dining hall."

Len shook his head and laughed, "Oh right, hahaha." They walked away to the dining hall, and the door creaked open slightly.

A blushing pink curly haired maid stumbled out of the closet and adjusted her mask, and hurried away to her out after, woman in a black dress with red lace waved her fan and combed through her long black hair.

"My my…things are getting interesting around here. Who knew my Rin rendezvoused with filth? It looks like someone needs to be taught a lesson."

Walking away, Zatsune laughed to herself at events to come, "Naughty naughty princess, naughty naughty indeed."

Comment and review! I'd really like to know what you think of Zatsune now...until the next chapter! Oh and I just realized I reached 20 chapters! My my, I guess this is a long story?
Until next time! :D
