Chapter 12: The Red Men

Rin's POV

We're now standing in front of that fateful place where everything happened. The Hagane Mansion.

I'm dressed as Rinta, and Len wore his black suit. We need to save Lenka before anything bad happens to her. I can't drag her to our scary world.

Rinto, I will never forgive you.

We entered from the back and went to the basement room.

"Where am I? Let me out of here!"

In the middle of the room we saw Lenka tied to the chair, crying.

"Lenka!" we shout.

The men suddenly appear. "Who's that with Len? He couldn't be Rinta, we have her here!"

"She's not Rinta you bastards!" a voice suddenly shouts.

Hagane Rinto appears. The moment Lenka recognized his voice, her eyes widened and tears fell.

"Hagane-sama! Didn't you ask us to capture her?" the men ask confused. So he ordered them to take Lenka?

"Rinto, you damned bastaaaaaaard!" I shout in my female voice. Len, Lenka, and the men were surprised of the sudden voice change.

"Rin-chan...?" Lenka mumbled in a terrified tone.

"Lenka-chan... I'm so sorry..." I said in a low voice. It was all my fault she was dragged here.

"I was right... You were Rinta Kagamine all along..." Rinto said.

"You bastard! Why did you drag her here?" I said angrily.

"Because I told him that Kagene Lenka was Rinta." a woman's voice entered the room.

"Sakine you bitch! You fooled me!" Rinto shouts in anger.

Wait... She has something to do with this?

"Oh, Hagane-sama. Nice seeing you again." Meiko says with a smirk.

"Damn you!" Rinto curses more.

"Really? Is it because I dragged your beloved into the ma-"

. . .

"-fia world she's scared in?"

What exactly happened? Before Lenka was able to hear the word mafia, Rinto rushed behind her and covered her eyes and ears by hugging her from behind.

"Stop... crying... Lenka..." Rinto mumbled. A stray tear falls from his eyes. "I'm... sorry."

Len and I were shocked at what Rinto did. He actually knew that? And... he cared for Lenka?

So this is the guy who was purposefully hunting for me. He actually loved... a victim of his world.

"Stupid... Rinto... I... don't know anything anymore... Please... tell me..." Lenka pleads.

"No, Lenka-chan! That will trigger-", Len tried to stop but Lenka suddenly interrupts and faced him, Rinto letting go. "It will be fine, Len-kun. It's been two years already." Lenka says with a strong expression.

"Aww, we have a very dramatic scene here do we? Don't forget about me, orphans." Meiko interrupts. We look at our surroundings and we see Hagane's men on the floor, and we were surrounded by people with black suits and red ties, with red armbands on their sleeves.

"What's your intention, Sakine?" I said angrily.

"To destroy your families. You are disgusting. Right, Akaito?" Meiko says, and a man with red hair and a red scarf around his neck. He also wore a black suit with a red armband.

"Pleasure to meet you, Kagamine, Hagane." the man called Akaito greets.

"What organization are you from?" I ask.

"We're subordinates of our boss. We are the Society of Red. We want to revenge for our boss. It was your fault... that she's suffering right now."

"What are you talking about?"

"That tragedy... was caused by the Hagane..."

What? So they were at fault?

Rinto's eyes were filled with horror. Even he couldn't believe that it was because of his family.

"That tragedy killed the parents of Kagamine, the best friend of Lady Kagamine and the husband of her best friend, the Hagane boss and his wife, and... it crippled our lady boss."

Our eyes widened because of this. We couldn't take anymore of this.

"Now, at least before you die, you know some truths about your orphanage. Men, get them!" Akaito commands.

I and Len prepared for the attack. I attacked them using my wing tonfas, and Len used a small knife with black feathers to injure the men.

We were worried about Lenka, who can't protect herself in a situation like this.

We finished most of the men when Rinto's men showed up. Len fought Akaito, who had a sword with him. I fought Meiko, she didn't dodge most of my attacks and she was weak in physical fights.

But she had a gun. She points it at me and shoots, I managed to dodge it. But past my direction was Lenka.

*Bang!*

"Lenka!" I shout.

*Bang!*

Another gunshot was heard. But it didn't come from Meiko.

It was Rinto, who had Lenka behind him. He shot the bullet aiming for Lenka, and his bullet managed to block it.

Rinto Hagane always had perfect precision in using guns.

"Dare touch Lenka or I'll send you to hell." he coldly says.

"Thanks for that, Hagane." I said and continued on injuring Meiko.

The men of the Red people were finished, only Meiko and Akaito left.

"We'll get you next time." they both said and fled.

"Rinto Hagane. We need to talk." I sternly said.

"Let's find Lenka somewhere safe to stay." Rinto says.

"The Kagamine house. We'll all talk there." I said. They agreed and we went our way to the mansion.

Third Person POV

The quartet was at Rin's room, with Miku treating their injuries. Lenka treated Rinto, as thanks for saving her life.

"Rinto. Do you know anything about the tragedy?" Rin asks.

"Some information. The time when that happened, I was out of the country. I never met my parents that much. But I know some things."

"Let's connect everything. We need to know the truth." Rin says.

"I knew that Boss Kagamine and the Lady weren't supposed to be dead. Because there was a woman and the woman's husband who saved them. It was... the Lady's bestfriend, Akita Neru and her husband, Akita Nero."

"Mom and Dad? How...?" Len says, he was scared.

"They sacrificed themselves in place of the Kagamine, because they owe the life of their son to the two of them. Sadly, the Kagamine were assassinated that day too."

"For me... Always for me... Mom... Dad..." Len was teary when he knew the truth.

"Hagane... Why did you... plan all this? For what reason?" Rin says, anger evident in her eyes.

"I don't... I don't know. I'm sorry..." Rinto said helplessly.

"Rin-chan, I know of the reason..." Miku suddenly said.

"What is it?" Rin asks.

"They were falsely told by a source... That the Kagamine hid their daughter from them..."

"Daughter? I don't remember having a sister..." Rinto says, confused.

"Hey, can I see a picture of... The Hagane?" Lenka suddenly asks.

"Here." Miku hands Lenka a photo of Rei and Rui Hagane.

Lenka was surprised when she saw them. "My... Parents..."

Rinto's eyes went as wide as saucers in what Lenka said. Rin and Len were both surprised.

"The first time I saw them... was the day they were killed."

[Edit: Changed Hagane parents' name to Rei and Rui. Changed Country of Red to Society of Red.]
