Note: This chapter takes place when Rin and Len is 14 and the prologue was when they were 7. So, basically, this chapter takes place 7 years after they first met.
And another thing to note: Romance will still be in here, but is more to friendship.
And the last one: The song in here are what I made myself… not an official Vocaloid song whatsoever… so don't go looking for it… and Rin's line in the song is in italics while Len's is in bold. When they sing together it's in italics and bold.
Disclaimer: No, I don't… if I did, this wouldn't be here, would it?
"Len!" Len turned around and saw his best friend, Rin running to him, crying.
"What's wrong, Rin?" Len asked as he caught Rin in his arms.
"I-I… c-can't do it anymore…" Rin sobbed. Len's confused face turned to anger and was deadly serious.
"I'll take care of it…" Len said seriously. He sat Rin on the chair and told her to wait for him. Rin nodded and continued to sob. He then left the tent and went to find him. Len then went to the school grounds, where he always hangs out with his so-called 'friends'.
"Ritsu!" Len yelled angrily. The said boy turned around and smirked.
"Well, well, well… ain't it lil' Rin's bodyguard." He snickered.
"I've been patient all this time, trying to just wait for you to at least lessen your bullying… but you've crossed the line!" Len yelled. Ritsu stood up with a smirk and his so-called 'friends' back away. They knew it was gonna be a bloody fight. Ritsu walked to Len with his hands in his pockets.
"You think you're that great, shouta?" Ritsu laughed.
That did it… Len thought
In a blink of an eye, Len was holding Ritsu on the ground, Ritsu's left hand behind him and Len was stepping on Ritsu's right hand. His other leg was pushing Ritsu's body to the ground, not letting Ritsu have a single way of escape.
"ARGHH!" Ritsu cried in pain. Ritsu tried to struggle, but it was useless. Len's position was too perfect. Ritsu couldn't even move his hand.
"Take that back… or I'll tell the principal that you've been bullying Rin…" Len muttered to him darkly. Ritsu cried in pain and quickly nodded his head. "I want to hear you say it!" Len added.
"I-I won't bully Rin again! I promise, I promise!" Ritsu cried, obviously, he couldn't stand the pain. Len let him go and Ritsu scrambled away, holding his hand as if her touched fire… no, worse… lava… Len sighed and headed back to the circus. Once he enter, he saw Rin, leaning onto the table, sleeping soundly. Len smiled at the sight and got a blanket, sliding it around Rin's shoulders.
"You spoil her too much, Len…" Len turned to see Neru, one of the performers in the circus. "You should stop treating her like a child… she's already a teenager… there's a big difference in that…" she added.
"I can't help it… she just act so childishly…" Len said, patting Rin's head. Neru smirked at him.
"You know… you two'd make a cute couple…" Len blushed at that. True, he did have a little crush on Rin… but it was just a crush. "You know, I can tell that you really like Rin… you can't hide it from me." she added. At that, Len sighed.
"Whatever… I just want to go and get ready for tonight…" Len mumbled.
"You and Rin are singing, right?"
"As usual… Miku still won't let anyone else sing…"
"What song?"
"We'll probably sing Fantasy's Paradise." Len said, picking up some papers on his table.
"Fantasy's Paradise?"
"Yeah…" Len showed her the paper, and she read it a few times before nodding.
"I'll go tell Meiko…" she sighed. Len smiled and nodded muttering a 'Please do…'
Len yawned and decided to maybe, take a nap. He picked Rin up bridal style, and brought her to her tent. This is where they stay in the mornings, and on night, they'll move to an apartment that they're Ringmaster, more known as Kaito to them, rent for them. Len went into Rin's tent and put her on the bed. He smiled and kissed her on her forehead.
"Have a nice nap, my Princess…" he mumbled.
"Thank… you… my… loyal… servant…" Rin mumbled in her sleep. He had always called her Princess because… she was certainly his Princess… while he calls him a 'loyal servant' because he always does what Rin asks for, no matter what it is. Len smiled and left to his own tent, to see Mikuo sitting there, looking for something in Len's drawers.
"What the heck are you doing?" Len asked. Mikuo, being the idiot he is, looked up, to be hit on the head by the open drawer above his head. He rolled on the ground, clutching his head, muttering curses to himself. Len stared at him. "For a guy older than me, you sure are much stupider…"
"Shut up…" Mikuo muttered, standing up properly. "Hey, have you seen my knife… I gotta practice now…" he added.
"You think I know? I don't even want to look at your stupid little knife…" Len said.
"Right…" Mikuo said, running out of the room. "And Meiko says you and Rin have to perform too, today!" he yelled back before running to Miku's tent. Len sighed. Mikuo is a knife thrower in the circus, Miku is the Diva, the one that sings at the end of every show. Rin and Len usually sings at the start of the show. Kaito is the Ringmaster, Meiko is the tamer, Neru is the acrobat. Rin and Len are the trapeze artist. They have more performers but these are the only people close to Len. Len sighed and sat down on his bed.
"Len-san?" Len looked up to see Aoki Lapis, another performer in the circus. She's one of the tightrope walkers.
"Yes?"
"Meiko-san wishes to see you…"
Len sighed again. "Thank you for informing me…" Aoki nodded and ran out of his tent, straight to Rion-san's tent, the other tightrope walker. Len stood up and walked to Meiko's tent. When he walked in, a wave of air passed his head. He slowly turned around to see Kaito, on the ground with a huge red mark on his face.
"Len, come on in…" Meiko said with the most innocent face Meiko could do.
"You… wanted to meet me?" Len asked.
"Yes, I wanted to talk about our new plate spinner, teeterboard team, mime and unicycle riders." Meiko said.
"Okay…"
"So… there is a guy named Nero who wants to be a plate spinner and from what I've seen he's very talented… I want you to tell Neru that she's in charge of him." Len nodded at every word.
"Then, there's Gakupo, Luka, Miki and Piko, signing up for the teeterboard team. Tell Rion and Aoki that they're in charge of these people. The there's Ring and Lui who wants to be our mime. You and Rin are in charge of that. And then, the unicycle riders. Please tell Mikuo that he's in charge of SeeU and Yukari." Len nodded. Meiko smiled. Even though Kaito is the ringmaster, Meiko sure fits the role much better.
"I'll be taking my leave, then…" Len said and went out to the tent. He went to the lounge, where the performers usually hang out. He entered the tent and saw a blushing Mikuo, a laughing Rion, a flustered Miku and a quiet Aoki.
"Where's Neru? Meiko gave her a task…" Len asked.
"She went to take her phone…" Mikuo grumbled.
"O… kay…" the tent opened and Neru came in. She walked past Len, her phone in hand. "Neru, Meiko has a task for you." Len said.
"I know… to be in charge of Nero, right?" Neru asked. Len nodded. Neru turned to her phone and didn't move.
"Rion-san, Aoki-san… you two are in charge of our new teeterboard team." Rion stopped laughing and nodded her head while Aoki just gave a small nod. "Mikuo, you're in charge of SeeU and Akikoroid-chan, our new unicycle riders." Len added. Mikuo nodded, a little bit of pink still on his cheek. Suddenly, Rin came in, yawning.
"Rin, you and I are in charge of our new mime." Rin nodded lazily and threw herself on the couch. Len smiled at her and she smiled back.
"So now… let's just go, rest and maybe, have some lunch…" Len said to them, walking out. The others looked at each other, shrugged and followed behind him, except for Rin who just continued to nap on the couch.
~Time Skip~
"Ladies and gentlemen! No matter, adults, kids, teenagers or even infants! Thank you for coming to our wonderful circus! This circus here is a one in a lifetime chance of seeing! We go around the world and is very rare that we come here! So please enjoy!" Kaito, the ringmaster said to the audience. The audience clapped and even cheered. "To open our events, why don't we have a song?" Kaito asked. The audience cheered even louder. "The alter-ego's of each other, even the reflections of each other, let us welcome your favorite, RIN AND LEN!"
Rin and Len walked into the ring together. Both of them smiled and waved to the raging audience.
"Hello, everyone." They said together. The audiences cheered louder and replied a 'Hello!' to them.
"Tonight, we'll be singing Fantasy's Paradise… please enjoy." They said in unison. Rin breathed in and out a few times.
Sora no oto,
The sky's sound,
Sora no merodi,
The sky's melody,
Sora no rizumu,
The sky's rhythm,
Sora wa jitai mahoudesu,
Sky is magic itself,
Len agrees with the lyrics that he and Rin had made… this song is the first song they made together… They were always together, always looking at the sky, listening to the silent sound the sky makes… it was a bliss to him.
Fantaji no rakuen,
Fantasy's paradise,
Sore wa, sore ga yoba reru monodesu,
That's what it's called,
Sora no tenshi ni,
By the angels of the sky,
Angels of the sky… it's what he always says to Rin when she's sad. 'I'm sure the angels of the sky would make you happy!' he would say and she would brighten up after that.
Ah~ Kono mahou to fantaji wa,
Ah~ This magic and fantasy is,
Watashi-tachi/Boku-tachi wa no tame ni yume ni mite iru,
What we've been dreaming for,
Ah~ Watashi-tachi ga tsukutta koto no mahou de kono yuko,
Ah~ This friendship with magic that we've made,
Tashika shin no yukodesu,
Is certainly the true friendship,
Len's magic has always been Rin. His friendship with Rin was certainly the true friendship. One can't break their friendship even if they threaten them. They're inseparable.
Sore wa genjitsu no jijitsudesu,
That is the fact of reality,
Ah~ Kore wa boku-tachi yumemita ita monodesu,
Ah~ this is what we've been dreaming for,
Ah~ watashi-tachi wa futatabi sore wo mite hoshii,
Ah~ we hope to see it again,
Ah~ boku wa mahou no koto, motto shiritai,
Ah~ I want to know more about magic,
He wants to know more about Rin, even though she says that he now knows everything about her. He can't believe it. He can never know everything about her, but he wants to know more. He was always like that… so curious about everything around him.
Fantaji no rakuen~
Fantasy's paradise~
Kono mahou watashi-tachi/Boku-tachi ga nareta toyuu gensou,
This magic that we've gotten used to,
Watshi-tachi/Boku-tachi tanoshinde iru, sora no oto,
The sound of the sky's that we enjoy,
Subete no tabi de watashi-tachi/boku-tachi o matte rakuen,
The paradise that awaits us in every journey,
Watashi-tachi/Boku-tachi wa futatabi sore o miru tame ni nozomu,
We wish to see it again,
Kitto ashita ano yume to rakuen wo mite,
Surely tomorrow that dream and paradise will be seen,
Kitto ashita ano oto go kikoemasu,
Surely tomorrow that sound will be heard,
Kitto ashita ano yume o tassei sa reru,
Surely tomorrow that dream will be achieved,
Ah… ah ah ah ah~ ah ah ah ah~ ah ah ah ah ah~ ah ah ah ah ah ah… ah~
La~ la la la la… la~
Rin closed the song with the last note and Len grabbed her hand. They looked at each other, smiling. They looked towards the audience and bowed.
"ENCORE!" one of the audience shouted, followed by the others. Smiling brightly, Rin bowed to them.
"We're very sorry, but we have other performances so, no encore…" she said. Len smiled and bowed to them as well.
"Thank you, Rin and Len for your amazing song." Kaito said, stepping into the ring. "Now, give it up for Rin and Len!" Kaito shouted. The audience clapped and cheered. Once again, Rin and Len bowed to them. "You can go to the back now…" Kaito whispered to Rin and Len. Both of them nodded and stepped out of the ring, going to the backside of the tent, hand-in-hand.
"That was great, Rin, Len!" Miku said as she trapped Rin and Len in a deathtrap, which was Miku's famous bear hug.
"U-Um… T-T-Thanks, Miku…" Rin chocked out.
"Y-Yeah… T-Thanks…" Len chocked out, his face almost blue already.
"M-Miku… you can let them go now…" Neru said, sweatdropping at the said girl. Miku looked at Neru and pouted, but let the two blondes go, much to Len's pleasure. Rin dropped to the ground panting and Len holds onto Mikuo, who was standing right next to him. All of them laughed together, low enough so the audience won't hear them.
But of course… the happy times can only lasts for a few days… after this, the whole circus and it's crew will have a lot of troubles… and a lot of things they would never expect…
And thats it! I worked overnight for this! Hope you readers like it! I sincerely think this is the worst chapter I've written in my life! Forgive me and my crappy writing…
And that song I made was so crappy too! I really don't like it! It's too crappy and un-creative and, and… IT'S JUST SO CRAPPY I HATE MYSELF FOR MAKING THE STUPID SONG!
Well… I'll stop rambling now…
Review Please~ (But I guess if you don't, I will understand why… this chapter IS THE WORST!)
Yours Truly,
