Chapter 2: Anti Holic
"Y-you…-!" I lost my senses after gathering enough taint. I hit him straight to his face as my eyes grew claret in anger.
Why do I have to be so little and petite? I couldn't understand. I already had my patience and self confidence parched with too much embarrassment. The load was just too heavy. I couldn't handle it anymore. Curse me for being woman-like! Curse me for being like this! Hell, it's like my sanity was being consumed by the humiliation that I'd gather from everyone.
And yeah I mean it! Because of that I did envy my guy friends having such fit, toned body and a well endowed physical appearance. I dreamt of those features, wishing every night before I sleep that when the next day comes and I would open my eyes, I will find myself having the robust appearance like of theirs. But I know… that dream would never happen.
In a matter of seconds, I heard the figure ahead of me moved back and was gone. My brain was dead on so much pain and aches. These factors did make me blind and dumb, speechless…
I almost had collapsed into the ground if my sister wasn't there to hold on my shoulder and offer some coziness to make me feel eased.
"Hey, take it easy Lenneh, try to breathe first, you're losing yourself. Calm down. "She said and guided me to sit down on the chair.
"Sorry if I ruined your meeting with Rui. I should have behave more and just ignore that creep." I heave a sigh thinking of the idiot but then later decided to wash away his image off my mind to cool down my senses.
Once I've pulled myself altogether, I bid my goodbye to Rin and promised her that I'll tell her everything when we got home.
I feebly walked across the corridors, tracking my path towards the north building where my next class is held. Damn. Few more meters away… My vision starts to get all blur. I shouldn't collapse here. No, Just a little more.
As soon as I made it to the front of my room, I raised both of my hand to clutch the door and went inside.
I immediately ran into my desk and rest there. At last, a peaceful paradise to set such blissful slumber.
Thanks goodness…
After that, I didn't know what happened next as I closed my eyes and walk into the world of dreams.
When I opened my eyes I found myself sleeping on a wooden bench in a certain meadow surrounded by bushes abundant with flowers and healthy green grass. I raised my body from my lying position and started to get with my feet as I continue to scrutinize the place.
A meadow? But why is it bounded with walls so high that it almost reached the sky?
I resume on observing things and came up with something.
This is… definitely- I'm trapped in a colossal labyrinth!
But why on earth am I here? Did I already die? Am I already dead? Is this the place they call heaven? If not, what the hell is this place?
I slap my face and pinch my arms, believing that this is just a dream, but I've thought it's not. What I'd done to myself sent twinge to the part that was being hit. Yeah… This is reality… Still 'maybe'…
I persist to probe and come to a decision of wandering around. All of a sudden a heard a sound. It was a melody coming from a piano.
Out of curiosity of where the sound came from, I rummaged from one place to another, seeking for the origin of the certain harmony.
I came crossing all the sky-scraping dividers of the place yet I failed on finding the source. And now...Here I am lost in the mi—Kagamine!
Now hell, like I've thought of earlier….
"At last, you're finally off from your dreams." The mauve long haired sensei of mine sighed and sent me a frown.
That was definitely a fucking dream
I fixed myself as I sensed that everyone's eyes were panged onto me.
"And like I was saying,…" Gakupo continued on his lesson. At times, I really find his subject boring so I usually profess an interested expression here. Well though I don't listen to his lessons, I always got the highest score on the exams here, proving that there's no sense of even paying attention to what he was tackling about.
The main reason why I do attend this class is this is the subject where I can let my voice be heard. I was always asked to sing here because of my unique voice. Hmm… Well I can say that this subject isn't that much boring in the least.
"As for you Kagamine, come here in front." That call alerted me and that was also the time I've noticed that there was a grand piano set before us.
Will he make me play that? Uh, no… There was someone behind the grand piano. Maybe he'll be the one who'll play the keys?
I stood from my place and started to trace my footprints obverse the class and gave a watchful gaze to my sensei, waiting for his command.
"Now, listen to them and later I'll ask for your reviews." Gakupo instructed them and brought his eyes on me.
" Remember the play last year?" he told me that sent me bewildered.
" Uh… Yeah… Evil's Kingdom: Daughter of Evil, right?" I answered back that received an immediate nod.
"Sing the song meant for Allen Avadonia, which was you're role. I'm sure you still have the lyrics and notes plastered on your guts" Is he referring to 'The Servant of Evil'? Yeah, maybe.
" uh, okay. Should I go with the velvet mix?"
"Whatever you like" he replied.
It's been a while since I've sang that song, but I'll try to do it normally like what I've did in the play.
"You are my princess, I am your servant~" I continue with the lyrics, riding the melody that the piano made. I wonder whose playing the keys. Bet he's impressive. He did go with the tune and melody flawlessly.
Once we're done, I bowed my head and gape at Gakupo who just smiled as a sign of satisfaction, a rare expression of his.
"Good, your skill still hasn't tainted yet Len. And as for you, you did great. That was formidable of you-"
"Just call me by my last name. Kagene"
Certainly, I was taken aback of hearing that name and voice.
Of all people, why does it have to be him?
I tilt my head, catching a glimpse of the man behind the wonderful melody that had just been played. He wasn't even looking at me. Well, that's for the better. Yeah, it'll be better if we pretend that we don't even know each other.
Letting out a sigh, I brought back my focus to Gakupo and paint a grin. He tapped my head and signalized that I could go back to my seat.
"By the way…" He called me and I gave him my attention. "What is it?" Before he continues to what he was saying, the mauve-haired man call onto Rei and told him something. Later on, I saw the brunette walking towards me. I silently gulped, wondering what will he do yet to my surprise, he did pass onto me. However, I heard a screeching sound of chair from behind.
"That would be your seat from now on" Gakupo announced to him and brought his concentration back to me. "Be nice to him, Len. He's a new kid." I just feigned a grin for a response and dropped it right away as he turned back to the board. Yeah thanks 'Eggplant nut', I was trying to avoid him and you ruined it. He is such a klutz. No wonder how he couldn't even dodge Luka-nee's attacks when she's mad.
The class did go on, and Gakupo being our sensei here start to blab again… blah blah blah hell, now it's getting to my nerves. This is fuckin' boring! I mentally screamed those, drawing a deep frown as I pinned my eyes out in the window. Well thanks to Pico that he agreed of exchanging seats; my old place was really mind-numbing and maybe if I am still sitting there right in this moment, probably I would be sent in a mental hospital for being insane.
Precisely, I love this seat; I could see the school backyard plus the track; gaze at those who were in the school ground, watching them like ants. Well my eye could really toy them if I'm bored. Yeah! I should be enjoying this place, away from the annoying instructor. But it's all ruined! And it is because of the rat that's now seating behind me. How more awful this class would be from now on. I am really freakin' cursing this day! Twenty-fifth of June! Damn you!
Now I was getting all jaded of looking down to the school ground and search for anything that could better entertain me. I look around the class and pore over. Eh… As usual, there were only few listeners, mostly were doing some random stuff… Well like me. Hmm…I wonder what the scum might be doing behind.
I secretly tried to peek at my back to check what's going on with him. I'm sure that he doesn't notice me glancing at him since his eyes were all fastened on to the board where Gakupo was writing something. Yet, when my eyes happened to cross onto his hand, I was quite surprised of seeing him draw. Though I couldn't see his doodle clearly, I could say that he was making a portrait of his twin. Woow… He's really talented.
But then, I couldn't say that this early. I haven't even heard him sing, so I couldn't declare that he was really gifted. Yeah! I'm a lot better than him! I could sing, I could dance, I could play an instrument, and I could act. I know how to perform a good wrestling battle with my sis and play the X-box and a lot of games very efficiently. On top of that I could perfect any exam without even reviewing any notes. I am a real talent!
Whilst drawing all my positive abilities more than of what he have, I've noticed that he was doing a new illustration; however, I couldn't see it clearly since he rested his left arm on top of the sheet.
Argh! I want to see it! I started tilting my head a bit further for better visage but then – WHOAH!
"What's the problem there?!" The teacher grunted and walked towards my place.
"What do you think are you doing Kagamine? You're disturbing the class discussion" -Yeah…Such a boring discussion. I mumbled an apology and tried to get with my feet but I felt a vexing pain in my pelvis.
Argh! It hurts! It really does! Darn it! The stinging pain was vibrating there making me twinge as the pang hit me again and again.
"Hey, can you stand?" Gakupo asked with a tone of worry. Gah! This is so embarrassing. I can't even move my upper body because of the pain that tortures my body. Nn-gah! Crap! It really hurts. I wished that I hadn't been that interested to that bastard's sketch, but it's all too late… I think
I sighed, glancing at my homeroom teacher who's now in panic of what to do. Right. He's a total idiot. I gave out a frown towards him then my eyes annoyingly twitched when I noticed that the brunette bastard was eyeing me from his seat, pretending that he wasn't really interested. Hmmp!
"Hell… I was trying but my back hurts. I think I had a bad fall". That's all what I've said as I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip.
Yeah! Go laugh at me. Just you wait till I get my vengeance. And right when I opened my eyes again and swerved my ogle towards him, I instantaneously perceived that mind-boiling smirk of his darted onto me.
I glared at him and silently growled out of rage. I am so going to ruin your life! You skunk! I internally snarled as I felt my bubble growing, already reaching its limit.
"Gnah!" I immediately shuddered hard when I felt a hand touching my body part that hit the floor badly.
" What the hell Gakupo! It freakin hurts you know!" I scowled as I clutch his hand off to my body. He just raised an eye and scratched the back of his head, probably mussing some stupid things before he got something to say. " Yeah. Sure it's serious." Hell does it look like just a scratch or something! " Kagene! Help him get to the clinic right away!" the purple-head ordered.
" W-Why him!?" My mouth grimaced aloud as I glowered over the man.
" Stop complaining! It's for your own good." And like I would be fine with him!? It had just gone worse!
Soon enough, I felt foreign warmth into my skin which made me shiver, but not because I hate the feeling...it was just something else that I couldn't explain. Soothing? Perhaps?
I rolled my eyes and found out that it was his.
Rei Kagene's …
How could he be so warm though he's personality is so gross and cold? Nah! Of course he's a living matter here. Of course he is warm! What the hell am I thinking?!
Then suddenly, I felt like I was being raised from the ground… He… He's-
" The infirmary is located by the end of this building right?" The bastard asked Gakupo whilst carrying me… and hell… IN A BRIDAL STYLE!
Now you're really getting to my nerves!
"H-!" "Don't let your bubble pop, Len. That will be the best way of carrying you to the infirmary. If you're embarrassed with your current position, blame yourself for it" The eggplant nut managed to kick in before I finish my statement.
This is totally exasperating! But he's right. With the vexing pain I'm experiencing now, it'd be impossible for me to walk or even limp.
"Whatever" After that word, we went through the school's infirmary located not much far from the room where we came.
As he continue to walk, people from the other classroom managed to see a glimpse of us, me being carried by a guy in such embarrassing way. I couldn't stand but to bury my face in his chest to avoid the other student's eyes that were darted towards us.
"You're such a nuisance. Bastard" he suddenly blabbed that annoyed me. Now he's coming up again with his book of insults. This guy really pisses me.
"Shut up, Scum" I retorted and gave him a glare but soon to claim it back. I could feel my cheeks burn in an instant but I don't know why… My eyes fleet a look at him and averted them as fast as I could. I could feel his eyes on me and hell it makes me irritated. What on earth is with me? Why do I feel so flustered all of a sudden? No! This is so totally wrong! I should be boiling here with fierce but why the hell I am blushing like a frantic girl who was with his crush by his side. This is creepy!
" Hey! Could you stop your head from being too shaky? You look like a hysterical monster with that" He noted whilst his eyes were still focused at the same direction we were heading. I just gave off an immediate glance, trying to wipe off the scarlet shade crossing my cheeks. I hate his perceptiveness.
We continue with the silence wrapping the atmosphere until we came up to the front of the infirmary a minute later and opened the door for me. I was bit staggered to see Akaito be the one who's welcoming us. Set aside was Mikuo who was silently sitting on the patient's bed.
"Oh! What seems to be a problem here, Len?" Akaito started to asked and helped out Rei of getting me to one of the five beds served for injured students.
"I think it's a fracture… in my lower back" I calmly riposte.
I've noticed the younger half of the Hatsune siblings left his confinement and act of going towards us.
"Hey hey… Look at this! A new kid and looks like he'll gonna be Len's future husband!" Mikuo suddenly cheered and started to hover around the brunette, scrutinizing him well.
"Cut the last part" The bastard and I hissed in unison.
"I think you're already fine here. I'll leave now. I couldn't stand staying with a bunch of idiots." The bastard Rei snapped impetuously and left instantly, leaving Mikuo baffled.
"That was cruel" Akaito remarked with a shrug.
I just gave off a shallow sigh. "Tch! He's a total pain in the ass" I noted them with a big frown.
"What do you mean by that, huh Len? You're blushing, look~" I don't know where the hell did Mikuo got that hasty tease but it totally pissed me.
"And what the hell do you mean by 'that'" I exclaimed back, glaring at him, emphasizing the word 'that'.
"Maa Maa~ Len your face is burning red!" The leek nut managed to mock more.
"Nah! Mikuo give him a break." Thank God and Mikuo finally zipped his mouth as Akaito examined my back. I shivered when he happened to touch the part that hit the floor badly.
"Is it really painful? He asked me. I just gave a nod as tacit response.
"By the way Len, what happened and you got that fracture?" Mikuo questioned as he sat at the bed adjacent to where I was currently laid.
If I'll answer too honestly, He'll surely come up of teasing me again so it'll be better if I lie.
"I was just looking at something and my pen suddenly fell, I tried to pick it up when my seat suddenly slipped and here I am" My evasive excuse came, hoping that the sea foam-haired guy and Akaito would believe since they're perceptive at almost everything.
" Ahh… I see… Guess you can't take care of your eyes from that new pretty kid. Y-"
" Where the hell did you get the idea of me liking that brat, huh!?"
After I came up with my senses again, I was staggered of what I had said.
"Uh- I'm sorry"
Akaito heave of a sigh and ruffled both of our hair. "Cut it out you two" He smiled after saying those which staggered me in an instant. I never thought that he could be that gentle like his older brother. He used to be so spoiled and quite pissy.
He drew his attention back to me. " Maybe it'll be better if I'll call your twin" I smiled at his suggestion as he started to dial my twin's phone number.
"I think it'll be better if you rest for now" Mikuo proposed and I sign a nod as compliance.
A/N: Sorry if the first chapter was too lengthy. I did try to make this chapter shorter (I guess?_)
Trivia!
In the novel 'Daughter of Evil ~Cloture of Yellow~' that Mothy (Akuno-P) had wrote, the servant was named Allen Avadonia/ Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche instead of Len Kagamine .
