Now, on with the story~ \(^.^)/
Len's P.O.V.
Mikuo and I were heading towards Black Swan. We were about to fight, but then she suddenly collapsed. Then, I remembered Mikuo poured something on her head…
"Mikuo, what exactly did you pour on her head?"
"I don't know. I just found the nearest chemical on a shelf. Maybe it makes her pass out?"
"Well, get Miku. She's in that bucket over there. I'll take care of Swan."
"Why is Miku in a bucket?"
"I'll tell you later."
Mikuo picked Miku up and carried her towards the elevator. I picked up Swan and ran up to Mikuo. We got into the elevator and I pressed Floor#1. After a couple minutes, the elevator made a ding and we stepped out. As we walked back towards the school, I talked to Mikuo.
"Ne, Mikuo, don't you think this was too easy?"
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it. Our parents couldn't even get CLOSE to capturing her, and we do? There has to be a catch or some trick."
"You shouldn't worry about that now. Let's just get her to Gakupo. He'll take it from there."
We got to a spot in the city where the school was right above us. Since I couldn't fly straight yet, Mikuo had to make a mountain of ice just to get us up there. Once we did, I followed Mikuo into Mr. Kamui's office. When we got in, he squealed like a girl when he saw Swan in my arms.
"Oh my! You've caught Black Swan! I only told you to spy on them, but seriously?!"
"We were trying to get in quietly through the elevator, but I guess the security in there saw us." I knew I wasn't paranoid!
"Mikuo, spies don't use elevators. That makes sure your caught. Now, hand Swan over to me. She'll be put behind bars until she wakes up. Once she's awake, we're asking questions. I guess that since you two found her, you can ask the questions."
"Don't take her away yet, Gakupo! Let's find out who she is~!"
Mikuo seemed pretty excited to find out. Gakupo and I nodded and I slowly put my hand on her face. I took the black mask between my fingers, and did a pull…
"You're seriously not that weak, right?"
I shot Mikuo a death glare. I tried pulling the mask off again, and it didn't come out again! I kept trying. Heck, I even put her on the floor!
"Enough Len! Let me try…"
Gakupo bent down on his knees trying to pry the mask off. He couldn't do it either. Mikuo gave it a try, and he failed as well.
"GUYS! FORGET THE STUPID MASK AND GET ME BACK TO NORMAL!"
We all turned around and saw that Miku was shouting from the bucket. Gakupo quickly put a lid over the top, and Miku's screaming couldn't be heard.
"Can we keep my sister that way? Makes it easier!"
"No Mikuo. Now, I'm taking Swan away. Go to your rooms and get some rest. We'll inform you when she wakes up. Mikuo, Miku should join you shortly. It shouldn't take Kaito that long to turn her back…"
"NO! There's NO WAY IN HELL you're taking my sister to that ICE CREAM FREAK! I disapprove of him…"
Mikuo mumbled something I couldn't make out. After all that, Gakupo took Miku to this "Kaito" person and Swan to a nearby cell. I left out the door with Mikuo by my side. I asked him where my room was, and he led me to it.
"This is your room. Mine's across from yours, incase you need help. Oyasumi!"
"Oyasumi, Kuo-chan."
I quickly turned the door knob and stepped into my room. It looked just like my old room. There was banana wallpaper on the walls, my yellow desk with banana-decorated sticky notes on the side, a yellow rug, a brown closet, and other normal room stuff. On the left side of the room was a bed with banana sheets and yellow pillows. The bed was filled with banana plushies. On the right, I could see my suitcases.
I quickly ran to them and pulled out my yellow pajamas. As I took them out, I noticed something fell out of the bags. I grabbed the brown object and noticed it was a monkey plushy with a banana on its right paw, hand, whatever. I quickly hugged it tight as a memory came back to me…
"Come on, Len! Let's go play that one!"
"Hold on Rin! Don't run so fast!"
We were at our school's spring festival (the big kids helped set it up for the little kids, like us) and kids from different schools and some teachers were all on their own separate booths.
I quickly got up from the bench I was sitting on and hurried to reach my friend. We made it to some sort of ring toss game. I really wanted to win something for Rin, so I tried playing the game. The teacher at the booth saw us and handed each of us three rings. I threw them towards the cones, but I failed at each try. When it was Rin's turn, she got all the rings into the three cones.
"What prize would you like?"
Rin looked around and finally said, "I'd like the monkey plushy please."
The teacher quickly gave it to her and she took it. She turned around to face me and took her arms out while holding the monkey on her hands.
"Len, I'd like to give you this. Think of it as a friendship gift!"
"I can't take it Rin! You won it fair and square."
"But I want to give it to you! Please take it Len!"
I slowly took it from her hands and hugged it close to my chest.
"I will treasure it forever, Rin. Every time I look at it, it will remind me of you. Arigatou."
Rin giggled, took my hand, and carried me to another game.
I quickly hugged the monkey to my chest. I put it down on my bed and changed into my pajamas. As I slept, I hugged the monkey close to my chest. The only dreams I had were memories of the times I spent with Rin.
"Rin…When will I see you again?…"
Swan/Rin's P.O.V.
I groaned as I got up. How long have I been out? I don't know. After my eyes adjusted, I could see I was behind electric bars. Darn. I knew this day would come for me anyways. Then, I remembered what happened before. Mom, Dad, Rinto, and Rei. I had to get out of here! I tried moving my arms, but I was handcuffed. I tried walking, but my right foot was held by a chain stuck to the ground.
"Up already?"
I looked up and saw somebody I haven't seen in years. Not since my brother Rinto was born.
"U-Uncle Dell…"
"So, my niece has finally awakened. How's my brother, Al?"
"Father is somewhere safe. So is mother, Rinto, and Rei."
"Rinto? Picked up another one besides Rei, huh? You're just way to nice to be a thief."
"Rinto is my little brother, aka your nephew. And I only steal because my family and everyone else that lived at the base needed food and money."
"Lived?"
"They all took the emergency exits and ran to the emergency base. Leek Twins and Len have found their way to our base and everyone escaped. Rei and I tried fighting them off, but…"
"This isn't even like you. Normally, you show no mercy to your enemies. But Len… You were weak against him. Why's that?"
"I-I don't know…"
"Dell, are you talking to yourself or has Swan woken up yet?"
We both looked up to see Kagamine Leon walking in our direction.
"She's fully awake, sir. Gakupo said that once she wakes, we must inform your son and the Hatsune twins. They will ask the questions."
Wondering how long I've been out, I asked, "What time is it?"
Leon quickly checked his wrist watch. "It's 12:42 P.M. They should be in their classes right now. Dell, go get them and bring them to the interrogation room."
"Yes sir."
Dell saluted and walked out the door. Leon stepped closer towards the cell and examined the techno-lock. I'm guessing he doesn't even know how to open it, judging from the confused look on his face.
"I'm sure Shion can get you out. I'll go get him. Stay put."
"Do I have a choice?!"
I heard him laugh before he walked through the door. Interrogation room, huh? This is going to be a long day. I just hope everyone is fine…
Raven/Rei's P.O.V.
*This happens during the time Rin took Rei into the elevator* "RIN!"
I knew I was already too late. Rin's going to get caught. I-I should've been stronger. I should've endured the pain. I should be the one sacrificing for her. Not the other way around. As the elevator made its way to the emergency base, that stupid flashback came back into my mind. I'm killing the author for giving me that flashback now…
I quickly ran away from that wretched place. I don't care if their after me, I'm never going to let them catch me. The orphanage is nothing but an evil place. Other orphans beat me up just because I'm different. Every time someone comes by to adopt me, they take one look at me and say, "I think we should see a different child."
Why? Why am I so different? What makes me different?! Is it because I'm short? Is it because my hair is so deep black, it can put darkness to shame? Is it because I'm not as strong as everyone else? Those are probably the reasons on why mommy and daddy left me. They probably didn't even want me anymore. Nobody loves me. I have no one.
I could hear them coming closer. Even though my whole body was bruised and covered in spots of red, my legs still kept going. I'm not going back to that horrible place. Not even if my life depended on it. I could hear sirens from the distance. Is somebody being robbed? I kept running, until…
…Oomph!
I put my hand over my forehead. I must've crashed into somebody. I looked up to see a girl my age with short blonde hair and a black bow on her head. Beside her was a bag and a black mask. I turned my head to the right and saw a wanted poster…
"Wanted: Black Swan. If captured, please report to the police immediately. Reward: 10,000,000¥ {A.N./ I think that's about $100,000.}"
"Y-You're Black-"
I couldn't finish because she had dragged me into an alley nearby.
"Don't shout it! I don't want to be caught. Just forget you met me, okay?"
She turned around and started walking away. She looked like a nice girl… maybe…
"M-Matte! {A.N./ Matte means "Wait!" in Japanese, for those who don't know…}"
She turned around to face me. Why did I do that?! She started looking at me closely, and she noticed I was all beat up.
"W-Why are you hurt?"
Sympathy. That's the only thing other adults around me have ever felt for me. I hated it. I hated sympathy. I don't need sympathy.
"Don't pity me! That's the only thing people have been giving me! Everybody hates me! That's why I ran away. I don't belong here, and I never will! I just want to end it all! End my pain. Nobody will miss me, anyways…"
"W-What about you're family? Friends?"
"Didn't you hear me?! EVERBODY HATES ME! I HAVE NOTHING!"
Before I could even process it, she kissed me on my forehead. W-Why would she do that?!
"W-What-"
"That was to calm you down. Mommy always does that for me when I get sad. Come, you can live with me! I'll teach you to be a thief, of course, not as good as me. Come on! I'll introduce you to my family! You can be like… my brother! Let's go~"
She grabbed my hand and we headed towards abandoned buildings. She knocked on a wall and an elevator appeared. She pressed Floor#-15 and the elevator made its way down. The elevator dinged and its doors opened. I could see a big man and a blonde haired woman in the room.
"Mommy, daddy, look who I found! I found him all beat up, and I decided to let him stay with us. Can he? Please! He can train to be a thief along with me! Please!"
She looked at them with pleading eyes. I already knew what their answer would be. Nobody cares about me. I'm just another piece of-
"Sure! More the merrier, right Ann?"
"Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to have another one here."
I knew- wait… what?!
"YAY! What's your name?!"
"M-My name's Kagene Rei."
"Name's Black Swan, but you can call me Rin. Welcome to the family, Rei! Oh, there's someone I want you to meet!"
She led me to an orange bedroom, inside was a two year old boy with crayons and paper in his hands.
"This is Rinto, my little brother! Isn't he just cute~!"
I walked towards him and he hugged me. Nobody's ever hugged me before…
"Let's play a game! How about hide and seek? You're it, Rei!"
She laughed a wonderful laugh and she ran away to hide, along with Rinto. I can't believe it. I had a family! I have somebody that loves me! And, I have a reason to keep on living…
I heard a ding, meaning I've arrived at the emergency base. Ann and Al were already there, with a crying Rinto on the floor.
I quickly made my way towards them. Ann hugged me pretty tight…
"Ann, I can't breathe!"
"I told you to call me mom! Where's Rin?! Is she coming?!"
Everybody looked at me for answers. A sad look came on my face when I said, "She's still up there. She saved me from being captured and sacrificed herself. They probably captured her by now. This is all my fault…"
I could feel tears threatening to fall. This is all my fault. If I had been stronger, I could've saved Rin. It's all my fault…
"R-Rei, this isn't your fault. Sometimes Rin sacrifices for the ones she loves. D-Don't blame yourself, and please don't cry…"
I felt wet tears dripping down my face. I'm so pathetic and weak. Can't even save the ones I love…
"O-Onii-san?"
We all looked down and saw Rinto hugging his present.
"Where's Onee-chan?"
I crouched down to his level and said, "Nee-chan won't be here for a while. But she'll be back soon! Just don't cry, okay? For Nee-chan…"
Rinto wiped his tears away said, "Okay. For O-Onee-san…"
He lied down, sucked his thumb, and went right to sleep. I picked him up and took him to a nearby room.
"Rin… I promise I'll get you out… I'll get you out and maybe… I can confess my feelings…"
Uh oh! Rei has feelings for Rin~! Anyways, I really need to get started on romance. It's chapter 6, for Pete's sake! Anyways, hope you liked this chapter, and keep in mind I made it longer than the others! Sayonara!
