Back with a new chapter~~ Silent Love will be on hiatus until I think of how to write the next chapter~

Chapter 2

Fine sunk into the water, playing with the bubbles without much interest. She was deep in thought, the incident earlier playing in her head. Why did she slap him? It was unlike her to do so. His image and voice was stuck in her head. She must really be sick. She sunk further into the water, blowing bubbles. She was in the bathtub for an hour before her mother sent Lulu to force her down for dinner.

Dinner was dull as before. Rein could not stop talking about her fiancé. "Shade is so sweet! He bought a dress, a pair of shoes, a necklace, a pair of earrings and a bracelet for me! He wants me to meet his best friend too! Oh… I have absolutely no idea why but he wants Fine to come along too, mum. I think it is because he is afraid that that ugly girl can't get married so he wants to pair him up with his friend."

"Fine, you heard that. You have to go," Elsa ordered. Fine rolled her eyes and continued eating.

"It is two days later. You'd better go!" Rein glared at Fine. "I don't want Shade to think that our family is weird."

Fine looked up and sighed, "I will go, if that pleases you." Rein smiled, satisfied with her older twin sister answer. Ahh~~ She can't wait for her wedding with Shade~

Shade walked down the hallway, sighing inside. Rein wanted him to listen to her new song that she composed. He had to shove all his work aside and come down to the university specially for this. His mother owned the school and he himself studied there. He walked along the hallway, going past the many music rooms. A soft familiar melody floated out of the music room in front of him. The soundproof walls were the best, but the door was left slightly opened, just a tiny crack. Now he remembered the melody. It was the second song he heard in the park.

He walked towards the music room and quietly opened the door.

A pink haired girl was back facing him; in her hands was a flute. Shade silently stood there, absorbed into the music. She put down the flute and drew the curtains, looking out. Fine Kagamine. She was Fine Kagamine. Shade quickly went out, afraid of her reaction if she knew that he was secretly listening to her play the flute. He continued walking on and entered the last music room, where Rein was waiting for him.

"Ah! Shade, you are finally here! Come! Listen to my new song!" Rein enthusiastically pulled Shade over and started singing. Shade smiled and clapped politely. "How was it?" Rein asked, her eyes filled with hope.

"…Good. It was very good. You really like singing and music don't you?" Shade asked. Immediately, he regretted it. Rein wasn't the best in the area of music and was better off doing other subjects.

"I love singing! I starting learning it since I was 5 years old, along with the violin and flute, although my flute…" Rein suddenly stopped.

"Your flute…?"

"Nothing! Nothing much!" Rein grinned. "You have to go back to work right? I am so sorry for calling you here~" Rein smiled as she walked Shade out, planting a kiss on his cheek before he left. Rein went back in, trembling.

"Rein, listen. Listen to Fine's music. Like you, she is only 11, but her flute playing surpasses most adults, like a professional. Her piano is of the same standard too. Learn from your sister, Rein. Learn from her," Sophie, Rein and Fine's music teacher said gently, "Rein, if you do not improve, you will not be able to compete in the competition. Fine has the most chances of winning. You do not want to lose, do you?"

Rein clenched her fists. No! She would not lose to Fine! Fine was always the center of attraction! Ever since she came back… Acting so prim and proper.,. Even forgoing her favourite sport. Humph! She will do whatever it takes to not let Fine enter the contest and win, even if she has use underhand tactics.

Shade was walking to his car when he saw her again.

"Ah! So it is you who was making the noise!" Fine exclaimed and bent down, scooping the bird into her hands. "Poor thing. Are you hurt?" she mumbled, "Ah! Your wing! I think it is scratched. Wait for me little darling!" She gently placed the bird down onto a safe spot and ran off.

She returned a minute later. Shade did not know why didn't he leave.

"Here, let me clean that wound. Shh… It doesn't hurt. It's going to be alright," Fine mumbled as she gently bandaged the bird's wing. Shade could not move his eyes off her. She… Her eyes were full with gentleness, something that he never knew that he would get to see.

She was playing with the bird as she took care of it. "I am so sorry that I can't bring you home! Are you hungry? Here!" She took out a loaf of bread from her bag and tore a big piece from it. She offered it to the bird, who pecked at it eagerly.

His phone rang. "Hello? ….. Ah… Yes… I will be right back…" Shade hanged up and left, driving back to his company.

~2 hours later~

Shade shut down his laptop and left to the university once more. Rein was done and he had to pick her up. He was once again at the park where Rein was waiting for him.

"Darling!" Rein smiled happily and ran towards him, holding his hands.

"Chirp… Chirp…"

"Eh? What's that sound?" Rein pouted and looked around, spotting a baby bird at the bottom of the tree.

"What's wrong?"

"…" Rein stared at the bird, her eyes cold and hard. "Nothing~" Rein turned back and smiled at Shade.

Shade looked at Rein, feeling disappointed. He knew that Rein had seen the bird and had been hoping that she would help it. He smiled in disappointment. This was the difference between the two girls right?

"Ah. Let's go." Shade smiled and led Rein to his car. Fine would take care of the bird… He was very sure of that.

"Brother~~~ I want to go to the park near mum's university~~ I heard that it is very beautiful~~~" Milky said cutely, tugging at her brother's sleeve.

"Milky… You are already 15…" Shade looked at his sister.

"Ehhh~~~ I don't care! Brother loves me the most~~" She pouted. Shade sighed and pushed her out the house, opening the car door for her. "Yay! Brother is the best!" she grinned, kissing Shade on the cheek, causing him to roll his eyes.

The familiar melody drifted through the air. He saw her again.

The red haired beauty was still at the park, playing her flute.

"Brother… She… Her music is… is…." Milky whispered in amazement.

"I know…"

A butterfly landed on Fine's flute. She stopped playing the music. It flew off. She lowered the flute and the purple butterfly landed on her finger. A smile spread across her face. It was such a beautiful smile, full of kindness and happiness. An angel. Her smile was like an angel's.

Milky looked at her brother and smiled. He was mesmerized. Mesmerized by her. "Bro, is she your fiancé, Ms Kagamine?"

"No… She is her sister…"

"Eh… I see… It's such a shame… She's still as kind as ever…"

"Yeah…"

Shade was looking forward to meeting her the next day.

This sucks! I am sooooo sorry!
