Entry 2

Still no pairing. This is told in Len's POV.

It was late, but it wasn't as dark as I thought it would be. Sure there were a few clouds here and there, but they weren't enough to block out the moon completely. Shame... These things are better when the atmosphere is eerie, though, I couldn't exactly complain about, well, the eeriness.

Despite the sky being moonlit, the graveyard still looked as foreboding as ever. The large trees surrounding it casted oddly shaped shadows on the ground and tombstones, and the fruits and flowers people left there as tributes to the deceased looked ethereal and other worldly in the dead of the night.

"Can you see them?" I could hear my twin sister, Kagamine Rin, hissed.

I scanned the cemetery and gave Rin a thumbs up sign. From my spot, I could see them perfectly well. I was a bit disappointed when I noticed them laughing though. They were in a graveyard; they were supposed to be scared! Would it hurt them to show a little fear..?

"They look like they're having fun." Miku said.

"What a let down..."

I sighed. I guess it was just different with adults. Unlike kids or teenagers, maybe they do not fear such things, or maybe they just don't believe in them. Either way, it didn't matter. After all, our intention wasn't to scare them or anything.

You see, we just wanted to see how the teachers acted outside school. It was simply out of curiosity, and in order to find out, we had called some of them to meet us at the local cemetery. Of course, the three of us were pretty close with those teachers and we could all pass off as friends; I guess that was the main reason why they agreed to come. Aside from that, they were relatively young compared to the rest of the faculty, and I guess they still liked doing such things just for the thrill and fun of it.

From my hiding place behind the bushes, I was able to notice that Gakupo-sensei looked a bit unsettled. He was the oldest of the bunch and the most collected, so he couldn't possibly be scared...could he? He was looking around the cemetery while the other teachers, Luka-sensei, Meiko-sensei, and Kaito-sensei chattered away. I continued to observe him when suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"I sent the message."

It was Rin. She was holding her orange phone, screen facing me. Miku was giggling right next to her, looking giddy and excited.

Meet us at the shrine.

That was what the text said.

I gave Rin a nod before my attention drifted back to the group near the cemetery's entrance. They were all huddled around Meiko-sensei as the brunette stared at her phone. I guess Rin texted her. I could see them talked for a bit before they started to walk. I couldn't quite catch what they were saying though...

I waited for a few minutes before I gestured for Rin and Miku to move. We made sure not to make a ruckus as we tailed and observed them from afar.

Kaito-sensei had jumped on Gakupo-sensei in an attempt to scare him; it didn't work though. He looked disappointed as both Luka-sensei and Meiko-sensei laughed. Gakupo-sensei had let a smile graced his lips, but I could see that it was strained. I knew that something was bothering him.

What though..?

"Aww~ That's so cute!" I could hear Miku whisper.

"I guess. It's nothing like what we see everyday at school." This time, it was Rin who talked.

The girls continued to talk among themselves while I kept my eyes trained on the teachers. What Rin said was true. As they walked through the graveyard, I could see that they were 'free'. They didn't have senior teachers nor the rest of the faculty hovering over them, telling them to act professionally, they could do whatever they pleased without being chided for being childish, and they could talk among themselves without having to hide anything...

For some reason, I felt a little betrayed. We were also their friends, but how they acted at the time and how they acted around us were way too different.

"Don't they trust us?" I asked myself.

"Did you say something Len?"

I jumped a bit at Miku's voice. I forgot that I wasn't alone there.

"Wh-What? It..It's nothing." I quickly choked out a reply.

Rin scrunched up her brows at my answer.

"Are you okay?" She asked, thinning her lips.

I swallowed before giving her a nod.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

Not wanting the conversation to go any further than that, I turned my head back to the teachers. I was met by the sight of an empty graveyard though. I guess they had gone ahead while I daydreamed.

"I think we should move now." I turned my head to face Miku and Rin once more.

The three of us ditched the bushes and walked along the graves instead. We didn't see any point in staying there anymore as the teachers were out of sight.

The walk to the shrine was uneventful. Oddly, we didn't catch up with the teachers. Even when we arrived at the designated place, no one was there. It was deserted and empty.

"Did they not arrive yet?" Rin said as she looked around the old shrine.

That wasn't possible. The walk to the shrine was pretty straightforward, so they couldn't have gotten lost. We couldn't have arrived before them either as they started moving before we did.

So... What happened..?

I pulled out my phone and was about to contact Kaito-sensei when I heard footsteps. I quickly stuffed it back into my pocket and looked up just in time to see Gakupo-sensei entered the shrine. I didn't see the others though.

"..W-What?" He looked confused when his eyes met mine.

"L-Len? Then.."

I gave him an odd look. Rin voiced my question before I got the chance to though.

"Where are the others?"

"W-With Len."

At that point, I realized that something was wrong. Gakupo-sensei kept looking over his shoulder, before finally, he stopped and moved towards us. He motioned for us to sit on the wooden flooring of the shrine before saying,

"We should stay here until morning comes."

My confusion only grew. "Where are the others?" was what ran through my head. Gakupo-sensei seemed to notice this and he drew in a deep breath.

"I saw you back there, Len. You begged us to stay and keep you company."

In the end, Kaito-sensei, Luka-sensei, and Meiko-sensei never turned up. I heard from Gakupo-sensei that they had seen me crying, huddled to a tomb stone. They had gotten worried when I told them to stay. Luka-sensei had noticed that Miku and Rin wasn't there and told Gakupo-sensei to check the shrine.

And so he did.

He was so surprised when he saw me there along with Rin and Miku.

"Then who was it that I saw?" He had said to me.

To this day, I don't understand what had happened that night, but I'm still hoping for them to return someday...

Again, just use your imagination with the plot holes.
