Two Worlds, One Love

=Chapter 3: Discoveries, Worries=

"A human..."

Rin's eyes widened at the sight. She's never seen a human this close before... She made sure to not make a single sound as she watched the human.

Len was tired beyond belief. After the field trip, he was forced to buy his sister a graduation gift. They spent countless hours looking at cars. Even though Lenka already had one, his mother thought it would be nice if she got a new one for her efforts. Since Len was in no mood to shop, he just chose a teddy bear wearing a graduation robe with the word "Congrats!" stitched on a roll of paper it was holding in its paw.

He sighed as he threw himself on his bed. He then remembered he was still wearing the clothes her wore today. He groaned as he got up to change into his pajamas.

Rin saw this as an opportunity to leave. She flew towards the window and placed a hand on the glass. Darkness... If she tried to fly back now, she might die in the process. But, if she stayed, she would also die. A tear left Rin's eye as she thought of her friends. She looked down at herself. She wasn't as bright as she was before. She needed sunlight...

The door suddenly opened and Rin let out an "Eep!" She tried flying back towards the bookshelf, but she kept dropping a bit as she flew. She soon stopped trying and just laid there on the desk. She hugged her knees and thought, "Goodbye, everyone..."

A small scream then filled the room. Len couldn't believe his eyes. Right there, in the middle of his desk, was an actual, living fairy. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. After punching himself, he knew he was awake and the fairy was actually there. Though, it didn't look alive...

The small creature was hugging its knees and just laying on the desk. Len carefully picked it up and placed it in his palm. The fairy was about the same height as his iPhone, and about the same weight. The fairy opened an eye and slowly got up. As soon as he got a closer look, he could tell 'it' was actually a 'she'. He gave her a sympathetic look and whispered, "What's wrong?"

He could barely hear her, and all he could make out was "... Sunlight..."

He saw that her body was losing its color. He looked at the lamp in the corner of his desk and quickly turned it on. He gently took the fairy off of his palm and placed her right under the light. Her body was starting to regain a bit of its color as she closed her eyes.

Len smiled and climbed inside his bed. The last question he asked before letting sleep take over was:

"How should I tell mother and father?"

The next morning, Len awoke to the sound of knocking on his door. He got up from his bed and slowly walked towards the door. When he opened it, he was a bit surprised to see his mother there, already dressed and awake. Len gave her a puzzled look and asked, "Mom, why are you up so early?"

Lily looked excited and said, "We're going shopping, Len! Get dressed and meet me downstairs!" And with that, she left.

Len groaned. He really didn't want to shop again, but it would be disrespectful if he didn't go. Then, last night's events clouded his mind. He looked towards his desk and saw that the fairy wasn't just a dream. She looked better than when she did last night...

Rin awoke to find herself in a strange place. She then remembered she left her village and slowly got up. She looked around and saw a human standing in front of her. She looked at her hands to find that they glowed again. She flew up into the air and looked at the human straight in the eye, "Did you help me?"

Len looked a bit surprised and slowly nodded. He gulped and asked, "What's your name?"

Rin put her hands behind her back and answered, "My name's Rin. What's yours?"

Len gave her a small smile and responded, "Name's Len. Nice to meet you, Rin."

Rin shyly smiled and looked down. A number of things were clouding her mind, the main thing being the fact she just broke fairy law number one, "Fairies aren't allowed to interact with humans in any way."

Len saw that she was a bit upset and asked, "What's wrong?"

Rin opened her mouth to answer. However, before any words left her mouth, a loud scream filled the house...

"LEN! HURRY UP AND GET IN THE CAR!"

Len nearly jumped at his mother sudden shout. He gave the fairy in front of him a sad smile and said, "I have to go. Go and hide somewhere in my room and don't move from there until I get back. Got it?"

She slowly nodded and flew towards the bookshelf. Len searched his closet for clothes, not looking forward to the following events.

"And you haven't seen her since then?"

Neru bowed, "No sir."

The general frowned and walked around Neru in a steady pace, "You do know that the princess is your responsibility outside castle walls, do you not?"

Neru's guilt increased as she said, "Yes, I do, sir."

General Al looked at her intensely, "You know what the punishment is, right?"

Neru almost let out a sob, "Ten years dungeon."

Al saw that she was about to cry. He felt sympathy and said, "I'll give you ten days to find the princess. If you fail, it's ten years dungeon for you, understand?"

Neru's eyes widened and she looked up at the general. She gave him a smile and said, "Thank you, General Al!"

He smiled back and said, "Don't waste time thanking me, Akita. Go!"

Neru bowed and flew out of the castle.

Outside the castle, Nero was freaking out. He just found out Neru got sent to see General Al. He didn't want her to go for ten years. Sure, she could get a bit annoying, but they've been friends ever since they were born and in diapers. He wouldn't be able to stand living without her...

He blushed a bit as the last thought clouded his mind. He shook his head and looked towards the castle door. As soon as he did, the door opened to reveal Neru. Nero smiled and ran up to her. He hugged her and said, "What happened in there?"

Neru looked up at him with a smile and said, "Al gave me ten days to find Rin!"

Nero smiled, "That's good, but we should look for her now. What if she-?"

Nero stopped talking as he looked up towards the sky. Darkness. His eyes widened and he said, "Neru, they're coming!"

Neru looked puzzled and looked up towards the sky. Her eyes widened and she broke the hug. She ran back towards the castle doors and said, "Warn everyone else in the village!"

Nero nodded and ran in the opposite direction. Neru continued running through the castle's hallways until she reached a big golden door. She opened it and immediately bowed, "Excuse me for just barging in, your highness, but I have important news!"

The king got up from his throne and signaled for her to continue. Neru nodded and said, "They're coming."

Leon, who was also in the room, got up from his chair and said, "Why now?! Rin's missing!"

Suddenly, the ceiling collapsed above them. Dust and smoke had covered the entire room. Neru looked around to see if the royals were fine. She helped them back on their feet as they looked towards the middle of the room. In the middle of all the debris, was a fairy with short, wavy black hair. She had a red dress made out of rose petals and a small rose tucked in her hair. She wore red high heels that wrapped around her ankle with a bow. Along with the shoes, she wore black socks that reached all the way towards her thighs. Her bangs were clipped up with red clips and she wore black gloves that reached just below her elbows. Unlike the rest of the fairies, however, she had black slender wings. She looked towards the king with a serious face, "I think you know why I'm here, right?"

Leon stood in front of his father, "She's not ready yet, Prima! Just give us more time. She doesn't even know yet..."

The fairy, Prima, laughed and said, "I've already given you too much time. And why doesn't she know? My son already knows and he knows it's his duty to do this. Isn't that right, Rei?"

A boy stepped out from behind her and nodded. He had black hair tied into a small ponytail behind his head, with messy bangs to finish the look. He was wearing a white dress shirt with a jacket over it. The sleeves of the jacket were rolled up, and it didn't have any buttons. He wore black dress pants and shoes.

Prima smiled, "See? At least my son knows responsibility and discipline. I've raised him well. Your daughter however..."

Leon gave her an angry look, "She's just at the Mermaid Kingdom talking to the princess there! Just give us a couple more days..."

Prima smiled, "Alright, I'm a reasonable person. I'll wait..."

Leon let out out a sigh of relief. Prima laughed and gave them a smile as big as the Cheshire cat's smile, "Of course, there's always a catch."

Leon didn't like the way she said the words, "And what is it?"

"The Dark Fairies will have to take over the kingdom until she comes back."

A.N./ Okay guys. First off, let's get something straight. I have absolutely NOTHING against Prima. She was just the first Vocaloid that popped into my head. :) And yeah, new characters! x3

RANDOM QUESTION!

What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

I've been listening to Kaito's V3 voicebank a lot lately, so that's where this question's coming from. ANYWAYS, my favorite is a tie between Strawberry and Chocolate Chip. They're both so good! *Q*
