"Kaito…"

I looked over with a certain dismay at my younger cousin. I was fourteen, she was thirteen. She had short bluish-green pigtails and an expensive, frilly dress that ended just before her knees. She was girly and took care of herself well. It also helped that we were rich. A year before, we started living on our own when her parents died and my drunk mother abandoned me. I remember my aunt and uncle's funeral. Relatives that we've never even seen before showed up. My mother had left a little less than a month before but I hadn't told anyone until they found out at the funeral. "Such a tragedy." "These two beautiful children, both orphans." But not one of them took us in so we moved in together. We survive on the enormous fortune Miku's parents left behind. We are in no bad condition. But our relationship is not a normal one.

"Kaito…" I sighed.

Miku came over to me and laid her head against my shoulder. "I have a question, Kaito."

"What is it?" I said, not craving the response all that much.

"Is it bad for cousins to love each other?" I didn't look at her.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked, my voice flat. Miku always made me feel that way. She tried to manipulate me. I somewhat let her. It was the cage she put me in.

"Because I love you, Kaito." She purred, shining her eyes up at me.

"You don't love me, Miku."

Miku and I were called the cutest couple in our high school. We're both very popular. I'm pretty sociable. A lot of my teammates from middle school hung around me. Miku had beautiful long hair and always wore the prettiest dresses. All the girls looked up to her. Many couples envied the relationship Miku and I had. We were meant to be together, like prince and princess. Or so one would think if they didn't know we were cousins.

Luka passed us as I was helping Miku with her books at her locker. I often did kind things for her and she smiled sweetly in return. Most of the time, her smiles were just for appearance. I was pretty used to it.

"So," began Luka, the renowned actress of our high school. She had the most soothing voice and played the leading role of every musical.

"We're finally seniors. Can you believe how fast high school goes? I can't wait to pursue my dreams and become a famous actress." she fantasized, a brilliant determination shining in her sea-colored eyes. She actually had the potential to make that dream a reality though.

"It is strange to think about how far we've come." I said with wistfulness.

Miku nodded, a smile on her face. "The freshmen are so cute this year. Did you sign up to become a mentor? Kaito and I did."

"Naturally." Luka joked. "But no, I didn't. I want to do a lot with my acting this year."

The high school had a program for freshman, new to the school, which allowed them a senior mentor, or guide to help adapt them to the school.

"How is it?" asked Luka. "Do they have a class for it?"

"We meet during the free period. I hear that usually we just help them with projects and homework. We're supposed to make sure they keep their grades up and help them with work. Today they're assigning groups. I hear that this year, so many seniors signed up that we only get assigned one freshman. We really outnumber them." said Miku.

"When I was a freshman, I was with four other kids." Luka said, surprised.

"I know. Such small groups. But it gives you more one on one time."

"Well, good luck. I hope you get a good student."

"Thanks." Miku said as the bell rung.

In first period with Miku, the first day back from summer break, there was the natural buzz of "I missed you over the summer." or "How was your vacation?" When we entered, the class smiled. I heard one group of girls chatting.

"Kaito and Miku are still together it seems."

"How lovely! They make the cutest couple."

I sighed and plastered on a smile while taking my seat as the gang of boys I stuck around barreled over to greet me. There was the usual horse-play and joking. Miku flitted to her girlfriends, catching up on gossip.

As the day passed on, things began to feel normal. School life was resuming as it always does. Currently, it was free period, the time at which students were assigned a mentor. Everyone had their fingers crossed.

"Miku Hatsune." called the instructor. Miku stood, flipping a pigtail over her shoulder as she walked to the front of the room.

"Your freshman will be Rin Kagamine."

A blonde girl with a large white bow in her hair stood up, greeting Miku. The two seemed to click right away.

Next, I was called up. "Kaito, your freshman will be Len, Rin's brother."

There are twins in this school? I wondered.

A few of the other seniors whispered about how cute it was that Miku and I had to watch twins. Len stood and joined me. By the time the rest of the students were assigned, the rest of the period was to be spent getting to know each other. We were both a bit quiet at first. I snuck a glance at Miku and Rin. The two were chatting like best friends already. Len fidgeted in his seat a little.

"So, Len. My name is Kaito. I look forward to working with you this year." I said, trying to sound somewhat professional though I had no idea what to say. "How do you like this school so far?"

"It's okay. There are a lot of students. The freshman class is pretty small."

"Well I'm sure you'll make a lot of new friends here."

"Yeah…" he said, looking up at me.

Though we talked only a little more that period, Len was really beginning to grow on me. There was something special about him.
