Sorry this took 4 days! I had a sleepover with a friend and I thought it would be kind of rude to write, completely ignoring her. Plus, when she left this yesterday, relatives from America (who I thought weren't coming till next week) showed up and I only see them once a year so…meh. Forgive me! :3
I do not own Vocaloid!

The Girl With A Different Side
Chapter 2: A Misunderstanding

Rin POV
I couldn't believe it, just couldn't believe it. How can people be so darn clueless?! After I'd fallen asleep in that manky, old alleyway with a injured arm and sorrowful heart I had a dream. It was a lovely dream filled with joy and happiness, taking my mind completely off what was really going at that moment.
I was back home, before it had happened, before I'd made a mess of everything. I was with my dear elder sisters and my loving master. We were eating together at the dinning table like we always did and we were laughing. It was a truly wonderful time back then. But then as happy as it was, all good things have to come to an end at some point.
I wouldn't of minded to much if I'd woken up naturally but no. I had to wake up in the most brutal way possible. Suddenly, in my dream, I felt a heavy pressure on my stomach and felt very, very sick. I then began vomiting everywhere, all over my food and all over myself. When I was done I screamed, "KYAAA!" and woke up.
I opened my eyes and saw what seemed to be something rising above me. I realized the thing was actually a person. No, it was a boy. He turned around and stared at me in wonder. My blood began boiling when I understood what'd happened. The idiot had sat on me. I stood up, trying to ignore the pain from my wounded arm, and tried to say, "Look were you're sitting!" but it came out as a meow. Then I remembered I was still in my other form.
I paid more attention to the boys features and my eyes widened upon seeing his face. He looked… he looked just like me. His hair was the same golden colour, same length (however his was tied up in a ponytail) and his deep sky blue eyes shone brightly. My gaze wondered down his body and panicked when I saw his hand. Was he hurt badly? But my sympathy didn't last long when I thought back to him sitting on me. He deserved it.
He crouched down next to me and held out his hand. Oh yeah, I looked like an animal to him and he probably wanted to stroke me. There was NO WAY I was letting a guy who just sat on me pet me so as his hand drew nearer I pounced. "Ahhh!" he screamed and I gave him my 'Don't mess with me' look.
"Look, I'm sorry for sitting on you," he apologized. Good, an apology. I was satisfied. But my satisfaction disappeared when he muttered, "Stupid cat."
'Oh I heard that mister and now you're gonna get it!' I bounded over to his leg and sank my claws into it. I guess I shouldn't of attacked him quite so hard because the next thing I knew I felt pain in my left side and felt my body flying, then hitting the alley wall. I realized the pig had kicked me. Jeez, that boy had some nerve. I decided that if he thought he'd killed me he'd just shove off so I lay on the ground as still as stone.
But I was wrong. I could sense him rushing over to me and he put his hand in front of my mouth. I held my breath so he'd think I was dead but that didn't stop him, oh no! He placed his hand on my chest. MY CHEST! I didn't care weather he saw me as something else at that moment but I'm really a human girl who doesn't like strangers coming up to them and touching their chests. Even if it was to check for a heartbeat and I am rather flat-chested as a human but that's not the point!
I heard him sigh with relief upon feeling my heart but he still hadn't taken his hand away! My eyes snapped open and I began growling at him. He looked rather nervous and I didn't blame him. He quickly stood up and backed away. He still hadn't left so I hissed at him. Finally, he took one last look at me and left. 'Halleluiah!'
I still lay there, not sure what I wanted to do next. I was still in my other form and wasn't sure weather I wanted to turn back. Oh, and yes. If you hadn't already guessed, I can transform into a cat. I've always been able to do it, ever since I was born. Most of the time I can control when we transform. All I had to do is think really hard about cats. It only varies when I'm in an emotional state, resulting in me transforming out of the blue or not being able to change at all. I'm not the only one, my two elder sisters can transform too but they are different animals.
I never knew our parents, only Master. My elder sisters said they briefly remembered father and mother's faces but I was told they died in an accident just after my birth. Master was a rich woman and she owned a grand mansion. Even though she provided my sisters and I with shelter, food and nice clothing she didn't act that motherly. We were raised by Master's maids and servants. I always dreamed what having a true mother would be like.
Master was also the only one who knew about our transforming secret. She also knew our parents but didn't really know why it was we transformed. Master believed it was something to do with our genes but she never quite figured it out. She told us if anyone were to find out, the consequences would be deadly. None of us ever planned on telling anyway, I mean, we're freaks. Who'd want to be friends with a creep who turns into an animal? But then I had to go and ruin everything…
I was so tired and my side was killing me from where that boy had kicked me so I decided I'd go back to sleep. Ilay back down but winced in pain as my wound hit the hard floor. I glanced over to where I'd cut myself on glass last night and it still looked pretty sore. I licked it a couple of times, shut my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I groggily opened my eyes to find sun light pouring into the little alley way. I looked up and studied the position of the sun to find it was the morning after the incident with the blond boy. But didn't have a clue what time it was. I thought I'd had enough sleep now to keep me going for the day and decided to get up.
I looked to my side to find my clothes, clawed at them and out from by jacket's pocket fell some money. I was starving and had some money for food, but only a little bit. I decided I'd change back into a human since I didn't really think that someone would accept money from a cat without suspecting something.
Sighing (well, cat sighing) I focused on being a human and I felt the tingle in my body again. I watched the world around me shrink slightly as I grew taller and let out another sigh as I stopped. It strains my body a bit when I change but I've sort of gotten used to it. I pulled on my now very, dirty clothes and held the money tightly in my hand as I left the alley way.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
'Yum, yum, yum!' I'd past a fish and chips stand while walking and of course, bought something. Screw the chips, I only wanted fish. That's another funny thing about my ability. Being a cat, I have cat like instincts of wanting fish and having long naps during the day. Again, my sisters are the same by acting as their animal. 'Man, I miss those two.' My sisters and I were extremely close and I was missing them like crazy. But I supposed they were really mad at me at that moment.
I was receiving some very odd stares from passers by, when I remembered how grubby I must of looked. My clothes were all brown from that manky alley way, my hair was all greasy, I had a horrible gash on my arm and I bet my face was smeared with dirt. Also, I was digging into a fish without the slightest thought of manners.
I went to sit down on a bench, next to a man with dark, green hair. I studied him just to make sure he wasn't one of those creeps. He appeared alright to me but when I looked down I became curious. On the floor next to him was a backpack. It was bright yellow and had one of those funky name plates, decorated with bananas. 'Who decorates their bag with bananas?' I looked at the name which read, "This bag belongs to: LEN." 'Hmm, Len. That's a nice name.'
I decided to look away before he grew suspicious of me. I was completely ignoring him until he spoke to me saying, "Are you alright miss?"
"Fine, thanks," I said not taking my eyes of the half eaten fish.
"Are you sure? You look rather, erm, well, you could be cleaner."
"Pardon?!" I shrieked and turned to the rude stranger.
"I'm sorry, it's just you look troubled and quite lost at the moment and I wanted to know if I could help!" he said so quickly it took a moment to take in the words.
"Well, thanks for the offer, Len, but I don't take help from strangers," I sighed returning to my fish.
"M-my names not Len. Where'd you get that from?," he asked confused.
"It's on your backpa- wait. Is this stolen property?" I asked pointing to the backpack.
"I, uh, it, um, ok I confess! I stole, I stole, I stole. But I didn't mean it! I was forced, it's the truth! Don't turn me into the police, please!," he pleaded.
"I-I," I stuttered not sure what to say.
"Here," he said handing over the bag. "It's full of old school junk anyway. I took the mobile and money from it but look, I'll give it all back." He handed me a wallet that was banana shaped and a HTC Wildfire phone with a yellow, gel cover. 'Whoa, the owner must love yellow.' After he handed me everything, he swallowed, stood up and said, "I'm sorry, ok? I really didn't mean it!" Then he just ran off.
"B-But I-I don't," I stuttered but he was gone. I was slightly in shock from what had just happened and didn't really know how to react. How was I going to find the owner of this bag? I tried switching on the phone to get a number or address but the battery was dead. I then opened the bag up and rummaged through it but I found nothing except a pencil case, school books and a crumpled up buss pass. 'Ugh! Why do I get left with this thing! I can't exactly steel anything or just leave it here.'
While I was wondering what on earth I was going to do, I didn't notice a woman walking over to me. "Excuse me?" she asked and I looked up. I seemed to keep bumping into people with blond hair and blue eyes. Her hair was curly and slightly longer than mine; she had friendly, aqua eyes and looked like she was in her late thirties. "Is that your bag?"
I looked back down to find my hand still inside the yellow backpack. My gaze focused on her again and I replied, "No. I just-," but I was cut off.
"Then what are you doing rummaging around in my son's stolen backpack?!" she yelled at me. I quickly removed my hand and shivered when I noticed her friendly eyes had been replaced with 'I'm going to kill you' eyes. 'It was her son's? Oh no. This is a BIG misunderstanding!'
"Look, I was only trying to find an address or something to return it but-." I was cut off by her shrieks again.
"I don't care what your excuse is! You're the person who stole it! You're the person who got my son into a lot of trouble! Before I turn you in to the police I'm taking you home so you can apologise to Len!" she said and grabbed the backpack. She quickly zipped it up and then grabbed my arm. "Come on, I don't want any trouble," she said yanking me.
I remembered my long forgotten fish, still lying on the bench but I didn't dare say anything and guessed I had no choice to but to follow this potty lady. 'Goodbye, my scrummy fish. You shall be missed.'
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We walked for about twenty minutes and finally got to the woman's house. She unlocked the cream, front door, led me into what seemed to be the kitchen and sighed with relief when she gestured me to sit on one of the wooden chairs. I glanced up at the wall where a clock was hanging which read '3:30' 'Whoa, I must have woken up later than I thought. Either that or I haven't paid attention most of the day.'
The lady watched me staring at the clock and commented, "That's right, it's afternoon. My son shall be home soon." Giving her my annoyed face I looked down at my lap and began twiddling my thumbs to occupy my self. I really hoped that this potty lady and her son wouldn't turn me into the police. I mean, I hadn't even done anything! I just sat in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Finally I heard the front door open and someone called, "Mum? We're home!" Now, why did that voice sound to familiar? Expecting a boy to walk into the kitchen I was caught completely off guard when a little girl skipped into the room. She had short, dark, brown hair tied up into two little bunches and was wearing a white and red, sailor school uniform. 'I wish I could still get away with looking that cute.'
"Mummy," she sang as she skipped over and hugged the woman. "Art club was cancelled so Len picked me up ok?"
"That's fine dear. Thank you Len," the woman replied and nodded towards the doorway. There was someone else standing there who I hadn't noticed due to the cuteness of the little girl. I looked over to the doorway, ready for anything. But what I saw, I wasn't ready for.
I was so shocked by seeing the person I fell off my chair, flat on my face. I heard the others rush over to me to pick me up but I couldn't move, I was all floppy. It was him. The blond boy that had sat on me!

Yay they've finally come together! Well, when they're both human. I'm not sure weather I prefer writing in Len or Rin's POV- they're both fun! BTW I'm trying to keep my chapters around the same length cause I hate reading fanfics where the first chapter is 600 words then the second chapter is 3000 words. Oh and keep in mind I'm British so I use the word chips for what many other countries use fries. So by chips I mean fries, not the crunchy things that I call crisps. Sorry! Just thought I'd point that out! XD
I like adding things in my stories that are to do with my real life. In this chapter it was Len's phone. I have a HTC Wildfire but it has a purple, leather case instead of a yellow, gel one.
Something random I'd like to put: Y' know the way Yuki's hair is styled? When I was small and wanted that style I used to ask for 'Boo Hair' Do you know why I called it that? See if you can guess! I might tell you next chapter. Safi-ry do not give it away cause I know you know!
Whoa, if you read all that A/N you're a very nice person. I bet half of you didn't read it but there you go! I hope you like this story and please review! I really love to hear feedback on how I can improve! Bye for now! :)
