Chapter 21: The truth about Rin and Rinto

Akaito's POV

I was still dumbfounded by what I found out.

Luka... She caused this to the Princess?

All this time, she's been wounding me up on her fingers... just for her plan?

Was I really... a love-blinded idiot?

I've been blaming the wrong people... I've been following the orders of the true culprit... And most of all, I've been loving an evil woman...

"Meiko... I'm sorry..." I staggered and fell to my knees. Tears, no matter how unmanly it is, started to fall from the ducts of my eyes. "Everything... I've helped her set everyone in trouble... Even the Princess... I'm sorry..."

She crouched down to my level and hugged me. "Hush now... It's okay... You didn't know anything..."

"Why... Why do you still stay by my side even though you knew everything?"

She laughed bitterly. "You really are a love blinded idiot aren't you?" she paused and breathed before she continued. "I love you, you idiot. All this time."

She... loved me?

"But, didn't you like that blonde guy? Len? Wasn't he the one you liked?"

She let go of the hug and faced me. Then she laughed again.

"You seriously believed that? C'mon, it's part of the plan. I didn't like him that way. Idiot."

"Seriously, my idiocy blinded me that much?"

"Yes. You are a big big idiot, Akaito. Well, I guess I can say that to myself, since I've been loving a man who is not looking at me and always loved a despicable woman."

"It's my fault. You're not an idiot." I said. "Hey Meiko, if you knew everything, how come you still follow Luka-sama's orders?"

"I've been moving behind the scenes. In order to know what I have to plan, of course I need to know Luka's plans. Remember my spies in the Kagamine household? They're not under Luka, but they're under me and the Red family. I do not let Luka know of their existence, and Luka thinks they're just normal Kagamine servants under Rin. Everything's almost done, except that the twins know the truth."

"Two of those identical faces are twins?" I ask in shock. So two of them are actually siblings?

"Yes. Luka has something to do with why they do not know that they are twins. But since they are having a DNA Test today, according to my spies, I guess the kids will find out."

"Who are the twins?"

"I say we go to the hospital now. Now that you already know the truth, I'd have to talk to Rin now. I swear I'll bring Megurine Luka down. And I'll do it with the help of the four kids."

Rin's POV

The tests were done, and we're waiting outside for the results. Rinto and Lenka were talking, and I stayed beside Len who patiently waited for us. I'm nervous about the results, but Len suddenly held my hand. Has he seen my worried expression?

"Don't worry. It'll be alright." he says with a smile.

I smiled back. "Thank you, Len. I needed that."

"Hey Rin. While waiting, I went to my doctor for a quick check up. The doctor told me I could still do my normal routines, but I have to make my decision about the surgery soon. I haven't been thinking about when I should schedule it, since a lot of stuff has been happening."

"Len, don't put us first before your life. You're already in a very serious situation... I'm sorry if I can't do anything...", I said in a sad voice. I regret not knowing about this... Maybe I shouldn't have dragged him into the mafia world...

"You don't need to do anything, Rin. Just stay by my side. I'm fine with that. My life is all yours."

I blushed. "Len... But... It's my fault... I dragged you into the mafia... Lenka too... I've made you face dangers, just because I went to your school..."

"It's not all bad. I was the one who decided to enter your world. And at least, because of all that happened, we would all know the truth. Cheer up, Rin."

"Thanks Len...", I say as my face lightened a bit.

Len smiled and started. "Hey Rin, remember how we don't want a death filled mafia?"

"Oh, I remember that. Why?"

"I recently got used to this new weapon I have. And this weapon can't kill." Len says with a grin.

"A weapon that can't kill? Is there something like that?" I asked curiously.

"There is. My weapon is... an inverted katana."

Rin raises a brow. "Inverted... katana?"

Len smiles. "Yeah. It's called the 'sakabato'. Instead of the side used to cut, the side facing me is the one sharpened. Thus, the side used to cut is not sharpened and can't be used to kill. I can't kill with it unless I turn it around."

"That's cool! I didn't know there was something like that!" I said with eyes that showed amazement.

Len chuckled at my antics. He pinched my cheeks. "You're so cute."

I pouted. "That hurts!" but I smiled anyway.

He smiled back and told me, "I'll protect you using that sword. And I won't let you see anyone dying."

I smiled. I was about to answer when Gumi went out of the room.

"I've got your results." she said with a smile. Gumi held two envelopes which contained the results.

She handed one envelope to Lenka and one to me. I looked over to Rinto and Lenka to see if they were ready, and we all nodded as a sign of approval.

Lenka opened hers first, which contained the result of the test between her and Rinto.

A big smile emerged from her lips. Rinto looked over, and the same expression had graced his face.

"It's... negative. We're not... related. Rinto... you're not my brother!" she exclaimed and hugged him. Rinto hugged her back, relieved with the results. Len and I smiled as we saw how happy the couple was. I'm so glad they're not siblings!

"I'm next." I said. The pair let go of each other, but still held hands, and looked forward to me opening the envelope.

I gulped as I took out the paper inside. My eyes widened as I saw the words "POSITIVE" at the bottom.

Len had shock in his face as well when he looked over the paper.

"Rinto... we're... we're twins?" I muttered. I didn't know how to feel. The guy that has been my rival ever since - the same guy who always went after my life - is actually my lost twin brother?

Rinto and Lenka had the same shock in their faces. "Rin... is my sister?"

To ease the tension, Gumi nodded. "You are. I'm surprised of the developments too. But the fact that Rinto was lost, and he became the child of the Hagane, someone must be pulling the strings behind this. And to say Lenka was also separated from the Hagane, her real parents. There's one big planner behind all that happened to you."

"Who could it be? Who could be that crazy to do all of this?" Rinto asked, hints of anger in his voice.

Then a familiar voice startled us all. "I might have the answer you are looking for."

I turned around and saw Meiko with Akaito.

"What do you need?", I asked with a cold voice.

"I'm not here to be your enemy, Kagamine." she answered.

"What do you mean?"

Meiko smiled at me, a trustworthy smile. "I'm here to make an agreement with you."
