Important note! Very sorry! I forgot to mention that this is years after what happened in the first chapter. So don't get confused!

Chapter 2

"P-please, master...stop this," I try my best not to croak as I inhaled the scent of disgustingly sweet fragrance mixed with the faint stench of sweat.

Through his messy dark hair he grinned as his grip on both of my hands tightened. "What's wrong? Are you scared?" he leaned in and whispered into my ear. "Don't be. You will be in ecstasy."

I trembled as his free hand moved up my thigh. I'm horrified and all I can think of was Len. My heart's pounding loud and hoping that where ever he was, he would come save me. "No! Release me! Len, help me!"

He slapped me across the face so hard the inside of my cheeks bled. "You are now mine, you filthy slave! You should be thankful someone actually bought you. Now stop struggling!"

My heavy eyelids shot open as I sat up in shock, gasping for air. It took me awhile to regain my conscious from the shock. The bed sheets were soaked with my tears, my hands were trembling in fear and my body was drenched in sweat. I ran my hand through my pale blond hair, sighing. "L-Len..." I noticed that my robes were loosened and the empty space beside me was still warm. My nightmares would not remain as nightmares; they would haunt me in real life too.

"Rin-san, are you awake?" a voice spoke up behind the door.

I tightened my robes and tidied my hair. "Yes. You can come in now."

A brown-haired girl peered through the door, trying not to make a sound. She walked towards me and grabbed my hands. "The Master requires you to be up and ready before the guest arrives. He is from the Imperial Court, a few ranks higher than that of Master's, so be at your best behaviour," she said in a concerned tone.

"He must not want me to expose my identity..."

"Rin, the guest works under the Ministry of Justice. This might look tempting," she paused, "but if you do expose the truth or even act suspiciously, I wouldn't know what the Master might do to you. He is a ruthless man."

I smiled calmly as I cupped her pale face with my hand. "Don't worry, Arisa-san. I will not do such a thing. I will only appear before him if Master wishes it."

...

It was quite hectic in the kitchen considering that it was just another guest visiting the manor. But I dare not question it since I am just a slave and I know nothing of the Imperial Court. The maids were preparing the afternoon snack while chatting away.

"He arrived did he not? Surely someone has seen him!"

They giggled and replied, "He was wearing a mask silly. Besides, don't get your hopes up. He might just be another old hag."

"And what if he isn't?" she pouted.

"The guest is here? Already?" I said.

The maids stopped talking and their smiles dropped the moment they saw my face. This was not a good sign. "Does it even matter to you? You're just a slave."

"Do not be so rude. There isn't much difference between you and Rin except that she has better manners than you do," Arisa said. "But that doesn't matter right now. The Master wants the food to be ready in a few minutes."

She turned to me. "Ari-"

"You better go back to your room, Rin...before the Master sees you," she says seriously.

I fall into silence and I pulled my kouchiki above my head to hide my hair as I walked out. The world seemed so cruel to me. Everyone treated me the same...like a dirty slave, no a sex slave. I felt so ashamed but not until Arisa came. She was the only person who would treat her nicely apart from my brother of course. Though the way she spoke to me was out of her character, it must have been with a reason.

As I walk through the pathway beside the garden, my tears start running down my cheeks and in helplessness, I covered my face with my robes as I sobbed. Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me say, "Why are you crying?" I jumped on my feet in surprise. My feet suddenly felt so light. I was praying that it wasn't the Master.

"A lady must not show her crying face in front other men except the one they love," he said softly as he walked in front to face me but I did not lift my head up. "Are you a relative of Hiragi-san? Perhaps it would be best if I called him..."

I looked up in alarm. "No!"

His eyes were widened. But I suppose that right then, my eyes were probably wider as I noticed his similar features. His hair was as golden as mine but tied up in an unnoticeable ponytail and his eyes were cerulean and would slightly glow in its colour just like mine. He looks exactly like me, but in male version. My hands started to tremble and I was in so much shock, I was speechless. It can't possible be...I thought to myself.

"Who are you?" I said in doubt as I hid my face under my kouchiki.

"Well if that is what you want to know, then I am an acquaintance of Hiragi-san. My name is Kagamine Len," his tone still calm and polite.

I gasped silently. It was just not possible or rather impossible for me to believe that my brother, Len who disappeared for 8 years without hearing a single thing from him has returned as a nobleman who works in the Imperial Court no less! It was like having to believe that it would snow during the blistering hot summer. "Forgive me, but I have somewhere to be. Excuse me," I walked away in such rush and shock. Perhaps I was hallucinating. Even so, I did not dare take a second glance.

Yeah, still no lemons. Gomen! But don't worry kay, I'll add it in the other chapters but not all. Please make a review. Tell me what you think about the story but don't be such a hater. I especially do not like people to curse or call names at me or other people. Thank you for reading and continue to read the other chapters! w
