Let's ge this out of the way.

I don't Own Vocaloid, because if I did...anyway, on with the story!

!.!

It's so warm......

So nice......

It was a nice day this morning. A couple of birds were perched on the large open window sill and immediately flew away together. The clouds outside were white and fluffy and the light the sun gave off was so bright it could've blinded anyone.

The lump in the huge bed tossed slightly, and a bare arm came up and pushed the covers off of the head that hid the comforter hid. And there was the sleeping 7 year old, just getting out of her dreamland of what she thought was last night. Her hair was still straight and sprayed neatly next to her, even if she was a heavy and messy sleeper.

Riku opened her eyes and immediately closed them, covering her head with the comforter and nearly falling in the process. She blinked under the covers, which under them everything looked orange. She got up and rubbed her eyes, yawning in the process. "What a weird dream I ha-"

Her gold eyes widened as she looked around the huge room with a sleepy, blank stare. A mirror was at the opposite wall, so she was looking at herself. She gave out a shriek and pointed at her reflection, putting her hands up by her mouth in a totaly freaked out motion. "EEEEH???! THIS ISN'T MY ROOOOM!"

After a couple of seconds she got done with being hysterical and she just sat there on the large, unfamiliar but very comfortable bed. She was gripping the covers and soon she slowly took them off of her legs, which were missing the socks she remembered having the night before. She crawled sleepily to the side of the bed and sat on the edge, rubbing her eyes. Freaking out when you first wake up can make you sleepy again, or can it? Maybe it was just her.....

She looked up at the door, it was a nice polished brown and it glowed in the morning light. Wind came in through the open window and the girl shivered, ready to go back to the safety and warmth of the unusually large bed. But she knew she wouldn't, she couldn't. She shut her eyes and yawned again, opening her eyes so that they were halfway shut. "Maybe I can...."

A knock made itself heard and she looked up, her light eyes dim. Someone came in hurridly, stopping in place when they saw her. Soon she realized it was Raiden.

The way he was dressed so early in the mornign woul've made strict parents with a sleeping deadline happy.

Even if it was early in the morning he was dressed as any teenaged assasin boss would in a could morning. A long sleeved black jacket and red shirt with reagular jeans. He looked worried when he ran in, but now he just stood in the doorway, looking at the young girl who just looked back with halfway closed eyes. He smiled and walked in towards the girl with open arms.

"You scared me, I thought something bad happened to you." He made it sound like she just screamed bloody murder. But to what Raiden has seen and heard in his past 16 years, he should kow about what could happen and both react on his instincts and knowledge. Riku just stared up at him with half vacant eyes, not realy thinking he was there. Soon he was standing in front of her and he took her small hands in his once more, kneeling down till they were the same size. "Were you surprised, little one?"

"A...Little...." She whispered, rubbing one eye again. Raiden smiled and hugged her, which ended up making her get up from her sit and made her toes touch the cold ground. She rested her cheek on his warm shoulder. "It.... It wasn't a dream after all.....?"

"No, it wasn't my dear girl." Raiden said, grabbing her shoudlers and pulling her back till she was standing up straight. He rested his head on hers and laughed slightly at the sight of her shocked and sleepy face. "Your Riku now, and I'm going to raise you."

"Oh....Then.." Riku said, the shock was obvious by her voice. She tried to analize that into her 7 year old brain, which took some time to do. But when she finally acepted it, she smiled at Raiden. "Thank you for naming me, Mr. Raiden!"

The red eyed teen laughed and with one motion Riku was in his arms like he was carrying a princess. She let out a surprised squeak, looking at the ground over her shoulder and gripping his jacket so she wouldn't fall. Raiden chuckled againa nd she looekd up at him just before he snuggled his head against hers. "Call me big brother for now on, okay?"

"Okay, Raiden-nii." SH esaid, still scared. Raiden walked out of the room while she yelled. "Now pleease put me down!!!!!"

"Nope!"

^.^'

The sun shined in through the open window, the air filled with the nice smell of fresh air and breakfast time.

Len rubbed his head as he watched Zumi cut slies of banana into his bowl of cereal.

Len was wearing blue pjama bottoms with a white button up shirt. His hair was still in that same hairdo that looked like a banana was on his head.

Zumi was very happy and excited, for some strange reason. She had her hair up in a messy bun with a regular white tanktop and some black shorts. Miku and Rin were still dressed in thier pajama's too, they were eating some toast and cereal along with mamoru while Lim poured himself some coffee.

"Hey, were's Riku?" Mamoru muttered, scratching his head as he rested his chin on the table-top.

"She was still sleeping when we woke up." Rin imformed after biteing a peice of toast.

"I still can't believe Leader let her live!!!!" Zumi whisled, handing Len his bowl and sending him to the table. She turned aroun to them and kicked her leg up like a preppy girl, her knife still clutched in her hand as she bumped it into the air. "I'm just soooo happy! I haven't been this happy since the twins and Miku were accepted!!!!"

"Your to preppy....." Mamoru whined, recieving a bump on the head from the still groggy Lim.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Everyone looked up from what they were doing and looked at Raiden, not really noticing Riku clutching onto his pant leg. He had let her down once they were at the stairs, but she still didn't let go of him, just incase so she wouldn't get lost. Her face was slightly red too, she had never walked around without shoes our getting yelled at by a older teen or an adult, so it was new to her.

"Ri-chan!!!" Riku was instantly glomped by about three girls, two of them which she didn't even know the name of. She blushed even darker as the girls started to talk all at the same time.

"How was your sleep, Ri-chan?" Zumi asked, smiling down at the short-haired girl. "I hope you had sweet dreams. Well, you might've had nightmares, but-"

"Wow, Ri-chan~" Miku marveled, running her hands through Riku's untangled, straight hair. "Your hair is sooo straight and soft, like it was brushed ten thousand times! I can't believe how light your hair is."

"You're suchh a heavy sleeper, Ri-chan!" Rin marveled, head arms around the younger girls' waist and rubbing their blonde heads together. "I treid to wake you up for hours on end! I can't believe how heavy but cute you sleep~!"

The boys and Meiko sweatdropped and Raiden started to get really mad. It was way to early for the girls' to be all girly-like.

He grabbed the Riku from their hands and swopped her up in his arms. He carried her with one arm, like she was a baby. He glared down at the three girls as Riku clung onto his shirt, blinking and wondering why and how she got up off the floor.

"You three stop it." He ordered. Rin and Miku huffed and stood up straight, Zumi rolled her eyes. He sighed and sat on a chair at the begining of the table, setting Riku down on the ground. She blinked one more time as he tapped two fingers on her forehead. "You should eat something. You look too frail and pale for your own good."

Riku nodded without a word. She turned around to see the brown-haired girl getting a plate from the top shelf. She handed it to Riku and she grabbed it with small hands. Riku didn't know if she should talk to this girl without knowing her name, so she just smiled as if she was saying Thank you.

"No prob." She answered with a smile. She rubbed her hand in Riku's short blonde hair. "I'm Meiko, by the ways."

"Oh yeah~ You don't know our names." Miku exclaimed, jumping up from her chair and charged full speed to the girl. She glomped Riku around the neck once more and almost made her fall. She smiled, "I'm Miku, Zumi's cousin! Nice too meet ya~"

"I'm Rin!" Rin said, standing up on her chair and waving her hands in the air as if she were flagging down a airplain. "You slept with me in my room last night. Call me Onee-chan!"

"I'm Kaito." The blue-haired guy said, giving Riku a small salute.

"I'm Lim," The black haired teen said, winking at Riku. Mamoru was about to say something really loud and unappropriate when Lim covered his mouth and smiled again. "And of course, this loud mouth is Mamoru."

Riku blinked, nodding. She looked at everyone in the room and memorized their names, but she finally noticed she didn't know the blond boys' name. She put her plate down and scrambled to his side.

He was eating his cereal as if she wasn't standing right next to him. She blinked her yellow eyes and hesitated for a second, before reaching up and grabbing onto his sleeve. He blinked and stopped eating, looking down at her with sparkling blue eyes. She looked back up at him and opened her mouth, her voice hesitant.

"What's.....you name?" She asked, her voice drippign with hesitance.

He blinked, as if he didn't understand what or why she was asking. He set his spoon in the bowl and put his arm down, making her still clutched hand move down too. He moved till they were fully facing eachother and smiled a bit. "I'm Len."

Riku nodded, smiling as well.

Raiden lifted his cup of coffee up to his lips like he didn't care if Riku smiled, but he also smiled before he took a gulp.

Lim smiled as well ann Mamoru just rolled his eyes, crossing his arms and growling something very un-respectful under his breath. He wasn't always like that, he was just very cranky at the fact that Zumi woke him up early for no reason at all.

Miku and Rin were eating their breakfast after they realized everythign was finished and over with, then they started to talk about what girls ten and under talk about, dolls and how cute boys were.

Zumi sighed dramaticly, as if it was like it was the most heart-warming scene she'd ever see in her life. She grabbed Riku's plate from off of the table and started to walk to the stove like she was a experianced cook instead of a long-haired 12-year-old. "What do you wanna eat, Ri-chan? Pancakes? Cereal?"

Riku blinked and put a finger to her chin, looking to the ceiling and trying to think. Her stomach really wanted....."Can I have fruit?"

"Sure, what kind?"

"Um.....Oranges, banana's, aples, grapes-" Riku almost named every fruit she could think of as everyone looked at her as if she were something else instead of a naive 7-year-old. Even Mamoru's, the biggest eater in the entire world, jaw dropped nearly to the floor. After she was done, she smiled at Zumi. "Is that alright?"

"Sure, okay." Zumi said, turnign to get the plate of fruit ready.

Raiden then, out of know where, started to burst out laughing. Being the guy he was, you would never hear him laugh. Riku blinked as she turned her head to him, tilting her ehad with question. He put his hand to the back of her head and pulled her closer to him, patting her head repeatedly. "You look like a little doll, but you eat like a horse!"

Riku blushed and huffed, crossing her arms and making the jesture the cutest thing in the world to Raiden. He rubbed his hand into her hair even more as she still did that. "Oh, don't act like that!"

"I'm not a horse!" Riku said, Zumi coming up to her and bending down. She handed the short-haired blonde the plate of food and Riku smiled, grabbign it with both hands. "Thank you, Zumi-onee."

Zumi squealled with happiness and hugged the girl's head. Riku stuck her tounge out at Raiden and was ready to run up the stairs to escape his up-coming rath, but hs grabbed her and sat her down in the empty seat next to him.

"Na-ah-ah. You eat at the table." He said, wagging his finger at her.

She huffed once more and plucked a grape, popping it into her mouth and chewed it. She soon smiled and started eating all of her food. Soon, she was done and the only thing on the plate was steams and cores. Mamoru's eyes widened and he crossed his arms over his chest, huffing.

"I fold!" He said, refering to his title as the biggest eater.

Everyone laughed as Kaito hugged his Ice cream, yelling "She's not going to touch my ice cream!"

Riku blinked but laughed along with everyone else, her giggle ringing throughout the room. She covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed as much as the older kids did, which she never did when she was working as a abused maid back at the other mansion.

"Hey, Ri-chan."

She looked up to see that Zumi had pulled her off of her chair and Meiko had Riku over her shoulder like a sack of flour, walking upstairs. Riku blinked as she looked up to see Zumi, Miku, and Rin followed as well. The five boys just shrugged at each other and continued eating, not really noticing that the new girl was being halled over Meiko's shoulder like a blonde sack of potatos.

Zumi smiled up at her, holding up one finger. "We're gonna change you into something less.....Maid-like, alright?"

"Eh?!" Riku said, sweatdropping as she dissapeared into a room.

^.^'

"They've been at it for a while." Lim said, walking in after washing and drying the dishes since none of the girls came down to do it themselves. He had Kaito go out and get some groceries.

He was now thinking, Since when did I start doing stuff like this? I'm the oldest. The girls should be responsible for this...

Len was sitting on the ebony Piano top, he changed out of his pajama's a little while ago. He had a black vest and shorts with a white long-sleeved shirt and yellow tie. He looked so innocent, swinging his legs back and forth like the child he was.

Mamoru was sitting on a chair, his legs propped up on the coffe table like he didn't have a care in the world. He sipped on his soda and tossed his hand around in the air, showing he didn't really care. "Who knows? Girl's are sooo unpredictable. I hate it...."

"Oh, don't be angry just because little Ri beat your big fruit eating record." Raiden said from his big velvet red grandfather chair at the end of the red carpet. He was once again sitting in that bored position, with one elbow propped on the arm rest and his cheek on his nuckles, his legs crossed lazily. He smiled once more, "It was only in the fruit catagory she beat you in. You should take her in as your little food prodigy-"

"Heck no!"

"And why not?"

"Don't pick on Mamoru, Raiden." Lim sighed, sittign on a chair and brushing his black hair to the side. Len just sat in his place, watchign as the two went on.

"I do have a point, though."

"You know why?! Because she's a snot nose princess of an assa-"

"We're done~"

The girls all appeared from the double doors that led to the comfortable study. Miku and Rin were on either side of Meiko and Zumi, who stood in the middle. And little Riku was nowhere in sight.

Lim just sat in his chair, smirking to himself. He wanted to see if the four girls over dressed the poor, younger girl. Len and Mamoru blinked simultaneously, leaning in to see where the new girl was.

Raiden blinked as well. He uncrossed his legs and sat up straight, both hands on the granfather chiar's arm rest's as if he was ready to get up. He waited as Rin and Miku smiled, Meiko smirked, and Zumi giggle.

"So....where's Ri-chan?" Raiden asked, but it didn't really sound like a question, more like a demand.

"Oh, she's right here!" Zumi said, pulling her hand from behind her back and there stumbled the girl.

She had a short-sleeved white shirt that wasn't tucked in, a black strip at the ends of her short sleeves and shirt hem. Her black skirt had the same kind of design, but instead of a white strip it was white. A black ribbong wound itself under the collar of the white shirt, tied loosely. She had on white knee socks and black shoes, most likely Rin's.

"We wanted to try the Lolita clothing I had for a undercover mission." Zumi explained, shrugging. She picked up Riku's arm by her short sleeve and smield. "But I thing this it better, don't you think? And after I thougt about it for awhile, I didn't want her to look like a Lolita. After all Ma-"

"Notice that she is now clean!" Miku and Rin said, putting their hands on either side of the short girl like they were giving out a special prize. And they were really telling the truth.

Her skin was clean now, so one reason why they took so long was because they took her a bath. And it wasn't easy, Riku was so embarassed that she struggled half of the time. Her short hair was blushed and clean now as well.

"And you better notice, I was soaked after it was over." Meiko was tellign the truth as well, her hair was also wet.

Len blinked from his place on the piano with interest, Mamoru whistled playfully, and Lim clapped his hands, which were all unnessisary. But that earned a blush from Riku, which was what Mamoru and Lim were aiming for.

"I picked out Ri-chan's outfit, so she looks like me!" Rin said, grabbing onto Riku's arm and pulled eachother close, giving a example. And they almost did look like twins, but Riku was shorter, had gold eyes, and looked younger. Rin had the same kind of outfit on, but she had her four white hair pins, she had her rabbit-type hair tie, and her ribbon was yellow.

Raiden was queit for a while, and he went back to the lounged position on his large, important chair. Len was standing on his right side next to him, his hands on the side as if he was a relaxed servant. Raiden looked at Len, and he was staring at Riku, who was being fought over in a argument between Mamoru and Zumi. She had her small hands in front of her and her mouth open, as if trying to stop their fighting but instead just looked from one child to another as they traded words.

Raiden chuckled, making Len look at him for a fraction of a second before Riku heard it. She turned slightly and looked over at Radien, blinking in question.

As if reading his mind, Riku scurried towards him as if she was doing it her whole life.

Radien sat up and his smirk turned into another full-fledged smile. With the hand that wasn't holding his head up, he rested it on her head and she blinked once more in question. "You like it here, Ri-chan?"

Riku nodded, and gave him a small smile. "Yes, Raiden-onii! I do like it here, it makes me feel safe."

Everyone was around them had quieted down now, Zumi and Meiko were sitting on a love seat and Miku and Rin were sitting on the floor by Lim's feet. They were all staring to see what would hppen next

"You feel safe here?" Raiden repeated, raising a eyebrow. Riku nodded her head from under his hands and smiled, her cheeks showing slight traces of pink blush. Raiden's smile grew less happy and more of the opposite, sad. "You won't be, all the time."

Riku 's smile faded and she blinked, now clueless. "What...do you mean?"

"You see, Ri-chan, we're not like everybody else." Meiko said, sitting up straight.

"Yeah, we're...different." Miku and Zumi said in unison, Miku holding onto Zumi's arms as Zumi wound them around Miku's neck, her chin resting on the girls' green-ish hair.

Riku blinked, wondering why everyone was so quiet. She looked up at Lne, who was still staring at her with distant eyes. She looked at Raiden. "I still....don't understand."

"You see, Ri-chan." Raiden started, his hand slipping away from her head and to shit arm rest. "We are the famous Teenage Assasination Group, The Red Twilight."

Riku's eyes were wide for a second, and everyone expected her to scream or something. I mean, if you were in a room of young but smart kids who assasinate people for a living, wouldn't you be scared? But she didn't look that much scared. She actually smiled and tilted her head.

"Uh.....okay." She said, then her eyes closed. And in some weird reason, she fell back. Everyone blinked and looked shocked, but the shock soon went away. Len was the first one ot notice that she didn't just fall, she was just laying there.

She fainted.

0.0'

Owiee....my head.....

"Oh my god!" Riku heard Zumi yell, obviously overreacting.

"Is she okay!?" And apparently so was Miku.

"She just fell!" Rin.

"Oh, shut up." Mamoru mumbled.

"Don't be mean Mamoru." Meiko said, a sound othat sounded like a grunt coming for answer.

"It's alright guys', she just fainted." That sounded like Lim, his voice seemed a little distant.

Wait. FAINTED?!!

Rik's eyes fluttered open, the only thing she saw was the ceilign high up. She was laying down, one hand resting on her stomach as if she were alseep and someone put it there, like a princess. Her other hand was hanging off where she was layign on, probably a couch.

Oh, I really did faint~

She turned her head and the first thing she saw was Len. He was turned away, looking at everyone else, which Riku couldn't see from where she was. One hand was resting on the couch as he looked away. The other was hanging onto her's, she didn't know why he was holding onto her.

Riku felt a hand on her head and she looked up once more, to see Raiden once more. He was sitting on the couch armrest, leaning down so he can touch her. "You're awake, I see."

"She's awake?!"

Rin and Miku's voice said in unison, an Riku blinked. She sat up and was instantly glomped. She looked over Miku's shoulder to see Meiko restraining Zumi from glomping the girl as well, Mamoru restraining to laugh, Lim slaping the palm of his hand to his foehead, and Kaito just ate ice cream with a clueless face.

"Y-yeah, I'm awake." Riku said, smiling a little. She held onto Rin and Miku's arms so she wouldn't fall back. "So....assasination?"

Everyone stiffened up and looked at her, and she just looked back.

"What's that mean?"

T.T

Raiden had explained it all to her, and now she was sitting on the couch, litsening to it all.

They were all apart of a Assasination group, the Red Twilight. They had a rumor on the streets that they were the incarnation of the other infamous group of people, who was apparently their family and friends. Red Twilight has a mission, to kill all the bosses and make their boss return what was rightfully theirs, the streets of the city. Riku's Master was a Boss, so that's why he was killed. And, a little twist Radien had put in was-

"Me?! Princess?!" Riku asked, pointing to herself with one finger in shock. Rin standing on her knees and holding the girls' neck with her arms protectively so Riku would go away while Len just sat next to her.

Zumi nodded and clamped her hand over Miku's mouth so she wouldn't add anything.

"Yes, also called a Fire Flower for a very special reason." Meiko said, nodding.

"You are very special," Mamoru said from the window sill. "You are a very, very special girl, that's why you are called a Princess. You were borne for this purpuse-"

Raiden blinked and stood up from his sot on his grandfather chair. He petted Riku's head and smiled down at her. "You are normal, don't listen to Mamoru."

I guess she hasn't awoken her power yet.....

1.1

The day had been very exausting after that little conference.

Meiko and Kaito had given her a big tour around the mansion, which took about two hours. After that Rin and Miku showed her the outside, their little clubhouse and the enormous garden. Riku hadn't seen Mamoru, Zumi, or Lim after that, Raiden said that they had to go see if they had finished the job. She hadn't seen Len either, which was weird.

Now it was night and yet again it was way past both Riku and Rin's bedtime.

Rin held Riku's hand as they walked towards their room. Riku would be sharing her room with Rin and Len for awhile, Raiden didn't want her to be scared sleeping alone in a room.

The light was dim inside and window was opn. Bright light came in through the window and lit up the room naturally. Len was standing by the desk, closing the drawer before looking up at he two.

Rin let go of Riku's hand and ran to the bed, falling a second after she hit the sheets. Len sighed as Riku stood there, her feet not moving towards the bed. To Len, she looked hesitant.

"Come on Riku. Time for bed." He said, wakling to her and grabbing her hand.

He pulled her along with him, Riku stumbling slightly as he led her to the bed. He put his hand under her arms and lifted her up to the bed, making her sit on the side as he climbed up. She just sat their, too sleepy to do anything. So he had to pull her to the pillow and cover themselves with the comforter. She had her hand rested on the pullow next to her head and her eyes were closed, so she must've already been asleep. He was about to fall away into his dream land as well before-

"Len.....?"

He turned to her to see that she was looking at him over her hand, her eyes halfway closed. She looked at hiim distant, as if she were gonna slip away any second.

"Are we.....gonna be safe?" She asked, her voice just whisper in the wind. Her eyes then showed that she wanted to be reassured.

He blinkde, but smiled. He slipped his hand into her limpy opened one, intertwining their fingers and scooting away from Rin and more closer to Riku. He rested his forehead on herse and she closed her eyes, slowly slipping away once more.

"Yes....I will protect you, princess."
