This is the first part in a what I'm calling Rin's Diary. Rin was a very intelligent 4 year old, so yes, she can write and spell correctly and all. She was a smart kid! Enjoy!

Len paced back and forth in the room he and Rin shared. "Argh! How come I can't do anything?"

Mikuo, who was sitting Len's bed, shrugged.

In his anger, Len picked up a book and threw it as hard as he could. It hit the bookshelf and bounced off. A small notebook fell from the top of the bookshelf. Len picked it up. Rin's Diary it read.

"What is it?" Mikuo asked.

"Rin's diary, apparently. I never knew she had one." Len flipped open the first page. A puff of dust flew out of the book, making Len sneeze. He looked at the first page. December 27, 2002.

"Woah! This is from when she was…" Len calculated the years in his head. "When Rin was 4! That's before she got psychopathy."

"Can we read it?"

At first, Len hesitated. But, judging by the amount of dust on this thing, she probably completely forgot about it. "Okay."

It's my birthday today! This is Mommy and Daddy's present to me. Len got a bunch of things; a toy dinosaur, a stuffed banana, a banana split and a toy road roller. Even though I do envy Len a bit, I'm still happy with what I got.

Oh, seriously? I don't want to lie anymore. No one's going to see this anyway. I'll make this diary an overflow folder where I can pour all my true feelings out.

I'm really jealous of Len. Why do Mommy and Daddy give him everything? It's not fair! I'm just as good as he is. We're twins! Why does he get all that, and I get a stupid book? Every day I try as hard as I can to please Mommy and Daddy. But who do they always praise? Len! It's just not fair!

Today's New Year's Eve. I'll make the wish I make every year.

Please, let the New Year be better than this one. Please, let Mommy and Daddy notice me. Please, let Next Year be a new beginning.

January 1, 2003

It's 2003! Am I any taller? Have I accomplished any goals? Do I have any resolutions?

Nope.

Maybe I would. If I weren't just a shadow, maybe people would give me something to try to achieve. But I do have a resolution. This year, I'm going to play an extra hour of piano and violin. Mommy will be so proud! I'll become so good at violin and piano, there's no way she can ignore me. Daddy will buy me a new hair ribbon to celebrate when I win first place in a competition. Len'll give me a hug and tell me good job. I'll succeed at this one resolution. I will!

January 21, 2003

They say that if you can stick to a goal for 21 days, it'll become a habit and whatever you want to achieve will be achieved. So that's what I've been doing. For the past 21 days, I've been playing an extra hour of piano and violin.

A competition is coming up! I can't wait! I'll get first place and make everyone happy. Then, everyone will finally see me at the same level as Len.

February 3, 2003

Ah! I can barely wait. Tomorrow's the competition. I've sewn a dress using my own clothes and I'm set to go. One more day!

February 4, 2003

Did I make any mistakes? Did the judge clap for me? Did I get first place?

WAAHH! I'll never know. Why did I have to get sick today? Why? WHY?

I tried so hard for this. Does god hate me, too? Why can't someone out there just give me ONE CHANCE? ONE! That's all I need.

Len bit his lip. He had always wondered why Rin was trying so hard on the piano and violin. The day she got sick, Len had wondered why she had stayed in bed the whole day, crying, refusing to eat or drink.

It's Valentine's Day. There are lots of kids who live in my neighborhood. There's a school right next to the neighborhood. Parents find it very convenient.

Len walked outside today and a horde of girls came out of nowhere. Each girl held a bag of homemade chocolate. They stood in a line, everyone fighting to be first. Daddy went out with a basket to fit all the chocolate in. They filled up two baskets of chocolate.

Later, Len's friends came over. In a joking tone, Len asked," Did you come here to give Rin chocolate?"

One of his friends answered with a question.

"Who's Rin?"

Len had never mentioned his sister before? His friends didn't even know his twin sister?

I received no chocolate today.

A knock was heard from the door. Len and Mikuo jumped. Quickly, Len hid the diary under his bed, then went to answer the door.

It was Rin and standing next to her was a green-haired girl. Len thought she was kind of cute.

"How'd you get out?" Len asked.

Rin explained that the door was always open and that the police let them go because they said any "mental" person who could figure that out was perfectly fine.

"Who's she?" Mikuo pointed at the green-haired girl.

"Hi! I'm Gumi." Gumi looked questioningly at Rin. Should I tell them? Rin gave a tiny nod. "I'm a pyromaniac," she added.

"Gumi, Len and Mikuo. Len, Mikuo, Gumi." Rin pointed at each person in turn then walked into the house and headed for the kitchen.

"Er, hi," Len said, awkwardly shaking Gumi's hand. Mikuo did a little wave.

"Len! We need to go shopping. There's barely any food left to feed a starving mouse," Rin yelled from the kitchen.

"Oh, okay. We'll go as soon as Mikuo and Gumi leave," Len shouted back.

Suddenly, the phone rang. Rin picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Is that you, Rin? This is Haku. The wife of that man that was killed by the icicle was just found dead." Haku paused.

"The main suspect is you."

A/N: Rin's Diary probably won't be continued in the next chapter because they'll be solving the case.
Eto (haha, I know Japanese! Jk), sorry for the short-ish chapter and slow-ish update. I was caught up in other things.
