Maiden's back from her LONG time of studying for a freaken huge test coming up. SHSAT anyone?

anyways, enough about me. I do apologies that I was not able to write this entire week because of my test. But I will be going more writing now because I am almost finished studying a whole 5oo page book =w=

So, as you know, Halloween is coming up, and I want to know what is your favorite creature to be in Halloween. Be creative and DO NOT I say again and again to people that don't bother to listen, say that you will be yourself for Halloween. I really want people to be something other than themselves on Halloween. You know what I mean right?

-You can pick for either yourself, or for a vocaloid character. Or both if you want xD

-Halloween one shot will be written on my other story called 'Rose maiden and guardians' So be sure to read it~

I really should keep a tally of this...but WHO'S TURN IS IT?

Kasumi: damn, can a neko ever get her sleep around here?

me: oh come on, it's almost 10 in the morning.

Kasumo: I don't caare...-goes back to sleep-

me: -takes out a cookie shaped fish [you know the ones they sell in japan ;D, feeling lazy and don't want to search it up] and a fried fish-

Kasumi:-snatches cookie fish- Maiden-sama doesn't own vocaloids or anything that has to do with them -noms on cookie- :3

Kasumo: -grabs fried fish-

That's more like it~

Rin's p.o.v. [remember, this is before she went to the grave, so it's still morning where she is]

I woke up from the sickness I got yesterday. I don't feel bad about it...the sickness is the only thing that tells me that grandmother...no...Lacie is still watching me. I remember the days that she always told me to call her by her name, and not a position in the family. I always listened to her. She was the only person in the family that ever thought of me as who I really am. I fragile girl with a big dream. Not someone's famous superstar skater.

I let out a cough or two before I drag myself off the bed onto the cold morning floor. I shivered and went to the bathroom. Brushed my teeth, washed face, freshen up. I looked at the clock.

8:30 am, school should have started already...

I sighed and went back to my own room in grandfather's house. I took out a old fashion black dress that reaches to my knees [the dress i'm referring to is the dress she wore in 'the riddler who can't solve the riddle' I think that's how you spell it]

Black bow and shoes.I looked at the mirror. My image looked pale and in pain. I looked at my hands. 'Pale as the color of vampire skin' I thought

"Rin, your up" My aunt said walking in. She wore her funeral dress from Lacie's funeral. There was a thin black net veil covering her eyes. Her dark brown hair tied up.

"Yeah..." I answered quietly. She walked over to me

"You feeling ok?" She touched my arm, then quickly removed it like it burned her hand. I looked at her in confusion.

"What's wrong?" I asked, my voice was still soft from the morning.

"Your...skin.." She started.

"What about it?" I touched it. I didn't feel anything.

"It's ice cold" She told me.

"I don't feel it..." I responed.

"I don't think you can feel it. It is your own skin. It's hard to tell." She bit her lips. "I'll call dad" When she says dad, She is referring to grandfather.

After a few minutes, Grandfather came in with his morning yukata. [in other words, men's kimono. Usually loose and used for sleeping, or special occasions] I looked at him with my half opened eyes. He walked over and got a held on my arm and then removed it just as quick as my aunt did.

"What is going on..." He said to himself, but loud enough for me to hear. I shrugged and walked out the room.

In the living room, I found Mom, Dad, and Rinto there in their black outfits. I walked up to greet them and mom threw me a hug.

"Oh my poor baby" She said in my ears. I hugged her back. After a half minute, she let go.

"Rin, are you cold dear?" She said feeling her arms that hugged me. I shook my head.

"You ok Rin?" Rinto said feeling my head. "wow, coold" He said

"I believe this is one of the side effects from the disease.." Grandfather said coming down. He was now wearing a black yukata with thin gray lines on it.

"Side effect?" My mom said worried

"Yes, for example...Remember when Rin's left hand was disabled for a week? That's one of the side effects." Grandfather explained.

" I see.." Dad said looking at me. My eye looked back with my now foggy blue eyes.

My aunt came down a few minutes later with Rui and Rei. They were dressed in black too.

"Since we're all hear, lets go" My aunt said walking out the house. My parents followed out, then me and Rinto. The sun was in my eyes when I got into the car. I shook the feeling away and waited as we drove to the forest where the grave yard is.

I got out the car first to get some fresh air. Rinto shivered at the cold wind that blew on us. And I didn't feel a thing.

"I'll go back to the house to get some food for the picnic later on ok?" My mom said going back into the car.

"I'll go with you" my aunt climbed back into the car. Dad was driving, and my uncle was needed to carry things. Which means I am here with Rui, Rei, Rinto and grandfather.

"I'll go on ahead to grandmother's grave." I said digging through the bags that Mom and Dad left for us. I got out a batch of wild flowers Rui and Rei picked up for me a few days ago. It was still fresh.

"Rui wants to go too" Rui said tugging onto my dress.

"Rei too" Rei came over and joined his sister. I let out a light smile and nodded. They both smiled widely and we were off.

"Don't go far" Grandfather warned us. I nodded and went on into the forest.

There was a wide clearing with grave stones almost everywhere. I walked to the one in the middle, and kneel down.

Lacie Kagane 1895 -2001

I placed the flowers in between the burned out candles that is now nothing but a pool of nothing. I stood back up. Rei and Rui each put in a white daisy they found on the way. They then found a butterfly flying around them and they went off chasing it. I didn't really worry about it because they have been here more then I did. They know they way around things.

Another gust of wind blew on me and my bow flew off. I saw a slight teal and pink color and a hand catching it.

"Miku, Teto" I said with a small smile. They came over to me and gave me back my bow.

"Thanks" I said tying it back up. They were about to hug me, but I moved away.

"What's wrong Rin?" Miku said after her fail hug.

"I wouldn't want to be touched until my fever is over." I explained.

"I thought it was already over" Teto grew worried.

"It's kinda like a side effect." I told them and I touched both of them on the arm. The both of them quickly felt it and fell in shock.

"That's cold Rinny" Miku wined.

"Cold indeed" Teto said rubbing herself for warmth.

"I'm sure it would pass after a day or two" I said. "But, don't you guys have school?" I asked them

"It's half day today because of the teacher's meeting" Miku explained. My mouth made a 'O' and looked out to the grass field where Rui and Rei was still chasing after the white butterfly.

Miku and Teto turned to the grave and bowed in respect. Then put down their flowers.

"Thanks for coming" I said. They smiled at me.

"We wouldn't miss it for the world" Teto said standing back up.

"There is a special guest with us today" Miku talked like she was in one of those game shows or something.

"A guest?" I didn't think anyone but them would care about what happened to me.

They looked around and muttered to each other.

'where is he?'

'I don't know'

'i thought he was following us'

"Who is he?" I asked folding my arms.

"oh, uh." Miku said biting her finger.

"It was suppose to be a surprise" Teto explained. I sighed.

"It's ok, I had enough surprises in just one day"

My two cousins then came back dragging someone with them. When they saw me, they ran towards me and threw me a hug.

"Nee-chan Nee-chan" They cried with happiness

"What's wrong?" I said patting their head.

"We found Nii-san" They said grinning up and me.

"Nii-san?" I asked. I then saw a shadow on top of me. I looked up

"Hey Rin" Len said sheepishly. My eyes widen.

"What are you doing here?"

Len's p.o.v

I watched as Miku and Teto walked over to Rin. I turned around and went to look around. I didn't want to face Rin, not just yet.

"Rei Rei, over there" I heard from a few meters away from me.

"I know Rui. Be quiet." Another voice said. I was familiar.

"Got it!" I looked from behind a tree and saw the two black haired kids playing around with a butterfly. It landed on the girls noes and she sneezed it away. Somehow they noticed me from the distance and looked at each other again.

"Nii-san?" The boy 'Rei ' came over at my direction. There was no point of hiding it now. I walked out waving like a moron.

"Hey" I said. Their eyes widen and charged at me with open arms.

"Nii-san came!" The girl 'Rui' said still hugging me.

"We need to tell Nee-chan" They said in unison. I shook my head.

"I was suppose to surprise her " I remember the plan Miku told me on the way about scaring Rin at the same time surprising her.

"Seeing you, I'm sure she would be surprised" Rei chuckled and let me go. Rui followed afterwards.

They took me by the hand and dragged me to somewhere I don't know. We reached the clearing where I was just before. I froze, but Rei was strong. He pulled me to Rin.

"Nee-chan Nee-chan" They said running to her. I walked to her during her conversion with the twins. She looked up at me and her eyes widen.

"Hey Rin" I said rubbing the back of my neck. If her eyes could have gone any bigger, I think It might just be too big for head.

"What are you doing here?" Her voice was very different from the Rin I know.

"To, visit your grandmother" way to go Len, now why would believe that crap.

"How did you know about my grandmother" She is now pissed. I shivered.

"We told Nii-san" Rei said honestly

"Is that bad?" Rui said, her eyes growing wet. Rin looked like she was forcing back the guilt and shook her head.

"Next time, tell me so I know ok?" She kneel down to them and pat their head. They quickly smiled . I think they did that on purpose...those kids are good.

"Rei? Rui? Rin? Lunch is here" Aunty said from the far end. She walked to us.

"I see you brought friends. I'm sure there is enough for everyone" She smiled and took us back to the place where the Shine box was.

The food was all set, and ready to eat. There was a Barbecue in the far corner.

"Eat up!" Rin's mom, Lily said placing down a stack of fried chicken wings. We literally drooled over it. and when I say we, I mean Me, Teto, Miku, and the twins. Rin didn't look so happy though...

~.after Lunch.~ [because I got very VERY tired after homework and Chinese =_=;;]

I went for a walk after eating about 4 plates of food that people keep putting on my plate. They want me to be fat or something?

After wandering around for a bit, I got totally confused of where I was. I thought that the forest was going to be small, but boy I was wrong.

I then heard a slight sound coming from the river. The sound was pretty familiar, so I went for a look.

There, Rin was sitting on the bottom of a tree. She was singing...but at the same time, it wasn't words. It was just sound. [I say sound as in talking about the la-la-la one xD]

I listened close, and the thought hit me. Lacie. It was kinda like the same on the piano, but just more...beat into it. It was very peaceful and very calming. I wanted to sit down and listen to her, but somehow, a random twig just had to be there for me to snap and made her stop and look around. I thought of running. But where?

I got through my thoughts and looked back at the place where Rin was, but she wasn't there anymore. I felt a cold tingle on my hands and up my arm. I jumped and faced who it was.

...Why me?

Rin's p.o.v

I finished Lunch first because I just didn't feel like eating somehow. The food is not getting to my stomach and I didn't even feel hungry.

I left the table and wandered off into the forest. This place was familiar to me since I've been here for 9 years and all. I made my way to the river clearing, where there was a few meter river with stepping stones. The river slid down from the hill and down forming tiny waterfalls. I remember this place even when I was very little. Every time I feel lonely or needed time alone, I would always some here. Even if I didn't want to, my body kinda acts on it's own and always brings me here.

I sat by the large oak tree next to the river and sang a instrumental version of Lacie. This is her anniversary today...

After singing a few lines, I felt my eyes growing heavy with tears. I would have went on crying, but I heard something around the area and I looked around suspiciously. Then I caught a glance of golden lock from the corner of my eyes.

I quickly hid through trees and went on to see. And there he was, looking for me. I could have said that it was pretty caring of him to look for me, but not spy on me. I sneaked up my his sides and trailed my cold fingers up his arms. He quickly flinched away like everyone else.

"R-rin" He said rubbing his hand by the back of his neck awkwardly. I glared at him with my cold fogged up eyes.

"Why are you here? Where you...spying on me?" I chocked out the last part. I didn't think he would do that...right?

"What? no no no. I was just looking around" He answered. His sweat dropped. I narrowed my eyes at that guy. His eyes looked back at mines. He's no joke when it comes to eyes. You can tell right away if he was lying or not just my the look of it. weird huh?

"Well, everyone else if over there" I pointed at the direction of the shine box that was kinda far. I felt his warm hands on my cold ones. He looked at me funny.

"what?" I asked

"Why are you so cold?" He said studying my hands.

"It's nothing. It will be gone by tomorrow" i brushed it off easily. But he didn't give in. He pulled me into a embrace and held there for a few minutes. I felt his warmth overtaking my cold skin. I tried to push away, but he didn't let me.

"Why didn't you tell me...about your sickness?" He whispered to my ears.

"I..." my voice didn't let me say any further. He finally let go of me. I felt my hands on my face. It was warm...

"Transfer heat from one another..I learned it in science class" He looked away from me. I let out a small smile.

"Thank you..."
