Seeing you Under a a Golden Moon
Rin sucks in a quick breath as she stumbles away from me. My eyes travel over her sadly - here it comes, the conversation we've had so many times. She points an accusing finger at me. I sigh and roll my eyes before imitating her.
"That's impossible!" we say at each other. Her eyes widen as I quirk my eyebrows at her in challenge. She huffs and I do the same.
"Get out of my head!" We snap at each other.
"You are being completely ridiculous!" We yell at each other as Rin takes a step forward.
"Stop- You!" Rin's face grows red in annoyance and I wrinkle my nose at her. She opens her mouth, about to continue.
"That's completely impossible! We are nothing a like! We just met how can you say something like that too me?! I am lady! Even if you are a monster you should at least respect me!" I say in a failed attempt to sound like her. Rin's eyes widen in shock as she gaps at me. I sigh and muse my bangs as I close my eyes.
"Obviously. We've had this conversation before." I hum as I move to pick at the bandage on my chest.
"I..you...this..." she stammers. I purse my lips as I glance down at the bandage before ripping through it easily.
"I was unsure at first. Usually...when you are reborn, you are close to me. A maid, a noble.. but this time.. you were completely human. And to top it off, I had no idea who you were. If I hadn't been out walking...we might have just missed each other." I muse as my fingers flutter over the purple scars on my chest. Each one bringing on a horrible, painful memory. I wince slightly.
"I..." Rin starts. I glance at Rin and smile softly.
"Granted. This time was different because you usually stabbed me after we talked about this...you stabbed me before." I wince.
"I...sorry..." she moans sadly as she eyes me.
"I know you are..." I say as I shake my hair out before standing. Rin takes a step away from my as I lick my lips.
"I won't hurt you Rin.." I sigh. "I can't."
"Well you could.." Rin starts hesitantly, she blinks in shock as I move to looming over her. My eyes meet her's as I capture her chin and pull her face up.
"Rin. We...have been together for quite a while. We were destined to be. Right now, you are human. Your birthmark is soft, a blemish." My fingers trail down her neck. She gulps as I pull my hand away to take Rin's hand. Her soft birthmark was shaped like a blood splatter, like normal. It was a few shades darker then her skin tone, it looked more like dirt then a birthmark. Just like mine.
"When you are like me, it'll become a deep purple. It'll be very noticeable, and it is meant to be. It shows that.." I gently move her hair out of Rin's eyes. "You are taken..and if someone was planning to harm you..they'd have to go through me." she was mesmerized as my fingers traced her birthmark.
"If one of us were to die. The birthmark would go back to being barely noticeable. At that time...we will have been so close, that what ever one of us feels...so would the other." I whisper as my hand clasps hers. Rin blinks quickly before meeting my gaze. Multiple Rin's flash before me and my smile sours.
"It hurts?" she breaths.
"It hurts very badly." I answer back as I drop her hand and step away. Rin quickly grabs at my left hand and lifts it up. Viewing my birthmark.
"You're...not lying?" she asks cautiously. I sigh before pulling my hand away from her's.
"No." I answer easily. Rin glances at the floor in deep thought.
"What? Not happy to see me?" she forces out a laugh as she puts her hands on her hips. My lips twists into a small smile.
"I am always happy to see you." I muse as she sits on my bed.
"You don't seem like it." she grumbles.
"Rin...I've watched you die thousands of times. I am very happy to see you. However, every lifetime I have the choice of telling you all this. I've only done that 30 times." I sneer, my fangs poking through. "And everytime you end up dying in my arms. You seem so much happier when I just, let you live your life out."
"Are you saying those 30 times weren't good?" she asks curiously. I sigh, pulling my fangs back.
"Out of all that. That is what you are curious about?" I ask eyeing her. She rolls her eyes at me.
"Well. All those other lives don't effect me now. Only those 30 do. They're the only important ones...if they were even real." she says, frowning at me. I blink at her in surprise.
"Even real..." I laugh softly. She pouts - I smile slightly before walking toward my office. I glance through my shelves before pulling a book down and walking back to my room. Rin gasps at me - two of her heartbeats.
"When did you...?" she asks.
"You can't see me when I move...not yet that is. Here." I offer her the open book. She frowns as she eyes the aged page.
"What's this?" she asks slowly.
"When we first met." I muse.
"This is dated back to the 1600's." she say suspiciously. I eye her closely, her eyes skimming through the script and landing on numbers. I glance down at the book before wincing. We originally met when we were in France - this was written in French. Not Rin's new native tongue.
"You don't speak...yes. Okay." I flip through a couple pages.
"This...was our most recent life together." I says sadly. Rin scans the page.
"This was 100 years ago." she says before starting back at the top. She clears her throat.
"Dear future me. I pray that you haven't stabbed Len yet. If you have...he has already forgiven you. His patience is one of his many virtues. You can trust him. I promise you this. He won't hurt you, or let anything harm you. In this life time I was born of a human and vampire. Len and I met when I started attending to him as a maid. He completed the change and I was turned to a full vampire. I will not lie to you. For you are myself. The change does hurt. I wish on my lucky stars that next time we are a vampire already." she stops and fingers through the pages. The entry continued on, and on. Until finally my cursive broke the normal handwriting. There was a scrawled date and some words beneath it. She eyes the book before looking at me. My gaze meets her's. She purses her lips at me.
"I'm not saying I believe you." she starts. I almost laughed - of course not.
"I wouldn't dream of it." I mumble. She narrows her eyes at me before continuing.
"One, why would the change hurt? Two, why do you talk like I am the only one to die? Three, what is this thing that makes you Royal?" she asks holding up three fingers.
"One, because I more or less take all your human blood out and replace it with my blood. Other things take place, but I don't want to scare you. Two, because you are. You are the only one of us to die. Three, the fact that I cannot die, and neither can you. Along with what I can do." I pinch the bridge of my nose.
"What can you do?" she asks suspiciously. This would hurt. I pull my hand away and hold my hand out to her. My temple pulses in pain as I focus on Rin's will.
"Rin, come here." I order, she blinks at me. Her eyelids droop as she staggers towards me. Her mind was muddled before me. I smile slightly, at least it was working.
"Now why don't you sit down on the bed." I murmur. She sits next to me on the bed. Her will jumps before me, she was uncomfortable. I loosen the grip on her will, trying to give her a little wiggle room to react.
"Trust me. Rin, rest your head on your shoulder." I breath, trying to soothe her. Rin's will struggles against me, I cringe in pain. Her head hits my shoulder. I let go of her will in pain. I hiss before falling back on the bed. Rin's head snaps up and she turns to glare at me.
"I wouldn't have done anything." I promise tiredly as I meet her eyes.
"What makes that so special?" she demands. I attempt not to twitch in irritation. I just went through pain - I stop the thought and push it away. Rin doesn't know yet.
"When the four of us are together. Remember now, I can control motions and movement. Miku controls voices and Mikuo controls emotions." I say as I relax against the bed. She frowns at me.
"You control looks and illusions. Those are our..major gifts. We are very dangerous together. When we are together, we can easily over throw whatever government, lifestyle or person we want. For example. If someone was trying to kill the four of us, we could make an army of people that looked, acted, talked and emotionally were us. We'd easily be able to kill the threat before it killed us." I explain slowly. She blinks in shock at me.
"Oh." she mutters.
"However, the noble vampire government spilt us up. Long ago we use to live with Miku and Mikuo, back when we ruled over the vampires. We are now split up to keep everyone safe. The two of us together wouldn't be able to case much trouble, and neither could the Hatsune's." I sigh. She frowns in thought.
"But you said there was four...not including you...who's this other person?" she asks.
"You must be tired. This was a lot to take in...you should try to get some sleep." I say softly as I sit up. She frowns at me - most likely for ignoring her question. She crosses her arms defiantly at me as she narrows her eyes at me. I quirk an eyebrow at her as my fangs poke through.
"If you don't want to move..." I offer. Her eyes widen as she pushes off the bed and take a step back before dropping her arms. She takes a quick breath before leaning into my face. My eyes widen in surprise as my fangs shrink back quickly.
"What are you doing..?" I ask slowly. She relaxes and lets a breath out.
"Testing something..anyway..I'm going to bed. Goodnight Len." she murmurs as she turns on her heel.
"Goodnight Rin.." I say softly as I watch her leave the room quickly.
o3o
I yawn tiredly as I run my fingers through my hair. My eyes narrow in annoyance as the sunset creeps through my window. Tiredly I push myself up, soreness spiderwebs from my chest. I gasp slightly in pain before pushing off my bed. Being stabbed was never a nice experience. I pull my hand through my hair before tying it back, loose bangs falling to my forehead. Rin's soft heartbeat echoes through my ears as she sleeps. I pull on a pair of pants before slipping into my white shirt - I pull a ribbon under my collar before tying it quickly. I pause as I frown. My focus moves from Rin's heartbeat to those around her. Hearts were racing, and footsteps echoed through the house. Something was happened. My eyes narrow. Something I didn't know about. I push my bangs back as I slip on my shoes before breezing out of the room. My ears follow the racing heartbeats, ending in the ballroom. Kaito and Ted stood together, eyeing a piece of paper.
"What is going on?" I ask stiffly. I was exhausted, tired, sore and irritated.
"Len!" Kaito laughs awkwardly. I cross my arms as my eyes narrow at them.
"What are you planning in my home?" I muse.
"The council demands to meet the queen." Ted sighs. My eyes widen.
"You TOLD them?!" I snap.
"They wanted a report on how you were doing and it fit for why you were being absent." Ted says. My annoyance grows as my fangs push forward.
"You are putting her in danger! I can not protect her while she is like this! If HE is there she will be put in more danger then I can protect her from. Call it off NOW!" I snarl lowly. Kaito shifts uncomfortably as Ted sighs at me. A stalemate - me and them. The marble beneath me cracks as I glare at them venomously. They could possibly be tearing Rin away from me again.
"Stop!" Rin yelps as she stands before me, attempting to block Kaito and Ted. I glare at her, my eyes meeting her's.
"Rin. Move." I hiss lowly. She straightens her back.
"No."
"Rin, you don't understand-"
"Then help me to understand." she says gently. I sigh as I force my fangs back.
"Kaito. Ted. Get out." I snap as I glare at them. As soon as they exit, I relax.
"What don't I get?" she asks softly.
"I can't protect you...as you are.." I say as I wince, a horrible truth.
"Why not?" she asks in confusion. I push my bangs back from my forehead as I sigh.
"Because you're a human. I could so very easily hurt you. Your body can't handle as much as mine can." I say softly as I glance at her. She forces a smile.
"I trust you...to keep me safe." she says gently. I wince as I look her over, images of her lying before me..hurt or worse. I blink them away quickly.
"I can't change anything now. You might as well go get dressed...to look presentable."
"Now..?" she blinks in shock. I massage my forehead.
"Yes...everyone should be here shortly." I say bitterly. She gaps.
"B..but what...? There's no food- or-" she stammers.
"The maids have been working all day...had I noticed..I would have stopped them and taken care of everything. I am sorry Rin." I murmur. She shakes her head.
"N..no, it's okay.." she mumbles. I offer her a clipped smile.
"Go get dressed Rin. Luka and Teto will help you." I tell her as I turn away, leaving her alone in the ballroom.
o3o
I glare venomously through my wide window as I watch the Nobles crowd my lawn. My temper peaks as the glass cracks. I take a deep breath to calm down as I shove my hair back. I turn my focus away from my guests to my suit. I adjust my buttons - turning my hearing to find Rin.
"Just relax.." Teto says softly. Probably a signal that she is done. I breeze through the devastation I caused. The door was wide open as Rin turns before the mirror. My eyes widen slightly at her. A hundred years, and she still took my breath away. Her dress was black, and sleeveless. The cloth ruffled around her chest and was pulled together around her hips by a patch of gold bead work. The cloth cascaded out from under the bead work and swirled around my feet, trailing behind her. Teto fastens a gaudy gold necklace around Rin's neck. Teto quickly presses it flat against her collar bone so it fanned out. Rin gulps. Her hair was swept up into a bun, loose curls fell around her face.
"You look so..." Teto falters.
"Elegant." I say softly, and even that word didn't completely cover how she looks. Rin turns quickly, her skirt twisting around her. Her balance sways and I'm by her side to support her. She glances in the mirror as I help with her dress. My gaze catches hers for a moment. She looked absolutely gorgeous.
"You look nice too.." she murmurs as she gathers up her dress so she can walk. I offer her a stiff smile before relaxing. The announcer pauses, before announcing that we are next.
"Come on Rin, it's our turn." I say softly as I offer her my arm. She glances at me before linking her arm with mine. I lead her forward, slowing so she can keep her balance. I make a quick right turn. Her legs were shaking as we near a brightly lit doorway. A small smile plays on my lips.
"Don't let me fall." she pleads. I chuckle.
"Calm down Rin. I won't let you fall." I promise as I step through the door. The room goes silent. Rin releases her dress so it falls against the floor. My head was held high and Rin attempted to do the same. I catch our reflection in the large windows. We matched, as always. A king and a queen. As long as she starts here.
"Rin and Len Kagamine." a loud voice says introducing us. The room jumps into applauds as I lead her down the stairs to join the throng of people. My grip on her never once lessening.
Also: please ignore my grammar mistakes.
