Chapter 3
Rin really didn't like this. I mean, what was so special about this whole party anyway? She'd been forced into a black strapless dress with heels that snaked up her legs; way to uncomfortable for her likes by the way.
"Mother!" The girl whined as said person brushed back her hair, tucking black bobby pins in every now and then.
"Rin sit still."
"This is ridiculous!"
Lily sighed as she finished and took her daughter's cheek, cupping it. "Just have fun alright?"
The seventeen year old pouted like a ten year old, folded her arms and mumbled "Fine."
A half hour later, the three Kagamine siblings stood at the entry way; greeting guests as they entered. Well, now it was just Rin. Her brothers had greeted two, who she thought were ugly, girls at the door and led them away. Where? Probably to their bedrooms; her brothers were known for being 'man whores', as she liked to call them.
I swear; I'm probably the only virgin in this family. Rin continued to greet the guests as they entered, earning a few smiles from various men. She paid no mind to them, as none seemed appealing to her.
"Luki I think were lost."
"We're not lost! I know exactly where were going!"
Mikuo looked to his pink haired cousin and gave him 'you're lying admit it' face. Luki noticed it and quickly shrugged it off, running toward the Kagamine estate which was noticeably ahead of them. "I told you I know where I'm going!"
The tealette ran after him, rolling his eyes. "Slow down will ya?!"
Once at the door, both boys came to a stop.
"Welcome you two. Enjoy the party." A blonde seventeen year old girl at the door greeted, smiling and motioning to the party inside. Inside were many treats all laid out on a table with refreshments as well. There were many people inside as well, some Mikuo didn't recognize and others; he wondered why they were there.
Luki made no hesitation to rush inside and over to the table filled with treats. Well I know where to find him at the end of the night.
Mikuo walked inside and he noticed that a woman came rushing down the stairs and over to said girl. She whispered something into the others ear and the younger girl quickly rushed up the stairs.
Curious at the girl's sudden change in behavior, the tealette followed her upstairs. She ran down the hallway surprisingly quick and Mikuo had a hard time trying to keep up with her.
She entered what seemed to be a bedroom and Mikuo followed her inside. He knew it was rude to enter a lady's room without permission but he couldn't help it; he was intrigued with this girl.
Said girl was panting and out of breath and she turned around to face him, a sudden sharp and fierce glare in her cerulean eyes. "Why did you follow me Hatsune?! Do you wish to kill me? Kidnap me?"
Mikuo's eyes widened at the harsh words that came out of this seemingly innocent girl's mouth. "I don't wish to do anything to you, my lady. I only followed you because you intrigued me I guess you could say."
"I…intrigued you?" The girl's expression changed from angry to confusion in a pure instant.
Mikuo nodded and slowly moved toward the girl, taking her hand. "May I know your name?"
The girl was simply baffled but managed to choke out her name. "Rin."
The tealette smiled and kissed her hand. "Rin. It's a very beautiful name."
"T-Thank you…may I know your name?"
"Mikuo."
Rin smiled and as she was about to speak again, a voice called for her from downstairs. "Rin! Rinnnnn!"
"Ah, if you'll excuse me. Please stay here." She rushed out once again, her heels clicking on the floor until they faded in with the voices downstairs.
Mikuo looked around the bedroom. It was fairly nice; orange walls with painted portraits, a queen size bed, a desk and two dressers, a walk in closet off to the right, and door leading out to a balcony. Walking over to said doors, he pushed them open and walked outside.
The air was relatively warm with a couple gusts of wind every now and then. "Oh, I wasn't expecting you to be out here."
The tealette turned around and teal eyes met cerulean. "Oh, I didn't notice you standing there."
"I just now came back." A smile graced her lips and she walked out on to the balcony. "Mother called for me, she was wondering where I was."
"Your Mother?" Mikuo looked over at the other and raised his brow in question.
Rin nodded and set her hands on the railing. "Mother's so overprotective of me. She forced me into coming to this party."
The tealette smiled and took her hands, resting his forehead on hers. "I think that's rather a good thing, don't you?"
The seventeen year old smiled. "I guess it is…"
Mikuo leaned in and Rin did the same; there lips meeting for a couple seconds before they parted. Though before the Hatsune could lean back in for another, a blonde boy of about ten years old came running in toward Rin.
"Rinnnnnnnnnn!" The boy exclaimed as he hugged the taller girl's legs. "I missed you!"
"Oliver? What are you doing here?" Rin picked up the seemingly small boy with ease and hugged him while the other threw his arms around her neck.
"Oliver! You shouldn't enter Rin-chan's room without permission!" Another blonde came rushing in; from her back down it was rainbow and she looked to be fifteen years old.
"Mayu! Wait up! You know better than to go in there too!" Yet another blonde came rushing in; she seemed to be around Rin's age.
Rin turned her attention to the two other girls while still hugging the boy. "Mayu? Seeu? You're here as well?"
Oliver, at least that's what Mikuo thought his name was, finally noticed the teal haired boy. "Rin-chan, who's that?"
Mayu, Mikuo thought that was her name also, looked toward him and a smile popped up on her face before she looked at her cousin. "Itoko, is that your boyfriend?"
Mikuo's face immediately flushed a bright red as did Rin's. "W-What?! W-What makes you think that?!" The tealette managed to stutter out.
Seeu giggled as she pointed to her red faced cousin. "Itoko doesn't have many guys in her room. She's more of the silent book reading type rather than the type who's always sneaking out to go have sex with a boy."
At this comment from her cousin, Rin immediately turned a bright shade of red – more than she already was – and glared at her innocent looking cousin. "You. Shut up. Right now."
Oliver seemed confused as to what they were talking about and looked at Mikuo. "Itoko-chan's boyfriend…what are they talking about?"
Mikuo shook his head and gave the small boy a smile. "Trust me Oliver, you don't want to know."
Mayu giggled and poked the eighteen year old in the chest. "So what's your name?"
Rin set down Oliver and glared at the fifteen year old. "Would you leave him alone please? He's just a guest."
Seeu seemed unconvinced and poked the other blonde's cheek. "If he's just a guest, then why did your cheeks get all flustered when we asked if you two were dating?"
The latter's cheek flushed up again, but she pushed down the hotness to keep it hidden from her cousin. She pointed to the doorway. "All three of you: out now. I'll deal with you two later." She directed the last comment at the two girls.
Mayu stuck out her tongue while taking the blonde boy's hand. "Come on Oliver. We'll play with Rin-chan later." Seeu gave the other seventeen year old a playful wink while following the other two blondes out.
Rin sighed and turned to the tealette. "Sorry about those three. Mayu and Seeu can sometimes get annoying. The only one I can tolerate is Oliver. Though I still love 'em all."
Mikuo smiled and nodded, taking the blonde's hand and pulling her toward him; a playful smirk evident on his face. "Oh its fine. Where were we before they interrupted?"
The Kagamine's faced flushed a bright red. "Mikuo…"
The Hatsune placed his finger over her lips, shushing her. "Sh my princess."
Before said Hatsune could lean in to kiss her, another voice from down the hall could be heard. "Rin! Rin Kagamine! Where in the world are you?!" Mikuo noticed the voice right away; Rinto Kagamine's voice. And did he just say 'Rin Kagamine'?
Rin pushed away Mikuo and outside onto the balcony quickly. "I'm sorry but you have to go. My brother will see you."
"But wait!" Before the blonde could close the doors, the Hatsune held the door open and stared into cerulean eyes. "You…you're a Kagamine?"
Rin's eyes were tinged with a little bit of guilt and sadness; that much he noticed. "Yes…I am."
"You…you killed my sister! And my parents!" The tealette pushed open the door all the way and entered into the girl's room.
The small Kagamine backed up into the door, shutting it as she was now against it. "W-What? W-What on earth do you mean?"
Mikuo, being taller than her, leaned his head down to stare into scared eyes. "You. You killed my sister, my parents. Because of you Kagamine's I lost my family. Now I only live with my Aunt and Uncle, and my cousin."
Rin, all this info seemingly new to her, clutched the door handle. It was her only escape if he threatened her with a weapon. She recalled how her brothers had offered to teach her swordplay but of course, she declined it. Oh how she wished she accepted it now. "W-What on earth…I-I…Mother never told me…"
Mikuo narrowed his eyes; he wasn't about to let a Kagamine get the better of him: Ever if it was a girl he was hopelessly in love with – but that of course he wouldn't admit. "What do you mean your mother never told you?"
"Mother only told me…about the news of my father, and my sister's death…" Her voice sounded glum, and inside her head she was telling herself to stop talking and make a run for it. Perhaps if she ran fast enough she could alert Rinto and Len.
"Your father and sister?"
Cerulean eyes again met with teal. The blonde opened her mouth to speak, but quickly shut it. "Why do you care Hatsune?"
Said Hatsune pushed away from the door that the seventeen year had been up against. He walked toward the balcony, stepping out onto it. "Because, even though you are a Kagamine, I love you."
The words that came out of his mouth hit Rin so fast she froze in place. L…love? W…What?
Before she could say anything, Mikuo had disappeared without a trace. Rin walked onto her balcony and set her hands on the railing. She looked around the garden below and when her eyes caught the teal haired boy walking through the garden, her lips moved on their own.
"Mikuo!"
Said boy turned around, casting a glance at the blonde. "What is it?"
It's now or never Rin. Just do it. Say it. "I…I love you too."
Mikuo's eyes widened and he walked back over to the balcony quickly, looking up at the blonde girl. "You're…you're serious?"
The Kagamine nodded as a smile came onto her face. "Yes…it's weird, that I feel this way now…but, it's also a nice feeling."
The Hatsune smiled and raised his hand up to her. "Why don't you come down here, with me?"
A voice from inside the room could be heard. "Rin! Rin Kagamine what are you doing out there? Come and see Uncle Al and Aunt Ann!"
Her head turned back and she nodded. "Of course. I'll be out there in a minute Rinto." She turned her attention to the teal haired boy. "I can't now. But, I'll meet you outside the city tomorrow afternoon. I'll be by the gates at noon. Don't be late." Saying that, she turned back inside to see her brother – shutting the doors behind her.
Mikuo smiled and said to no one. "I'll be there; I won't' be late."
Author's Note: Hey guys! I was debating on whether or not to update "A Lover's Way", "A Night With A Twist", or this story! Ultimately, I decided to write for this story. A Lover's Way will probably be coming to a close in a few chapters so that way I can focus on "A Night With A Twist" and this story. I also have another story planned to come out after A Lover's Way is finished, but I'm still deciding on releasing it or not.
Also for those curious or way too lazy to look it up (come on we all have our moments) Itoko means cousin in Japanese.
