Chapter 9: Secrets
Hi! I'm making new chappies! ^^ Jessi-chan I swear, you crack me up! I was in front of my mom reading your review when I busted out laughing! Mom thought I was having a seizure! xD aww I just love your reviews!
Akaito: *grumbles* not me…
*pats Akaito's back* it's going to be okay, Akaito.
Mikuo: *grins and holds the gun Jessi-chan gave him* yea Akaito…it will be alright…one I end your sorry life! *laughs crazily and chases Akaito*
*sweat drops while watching Akaito being chased by Mikuo* …let's get back to the story…
*~Rin's P.O.V*~
I raced through the court-yard, calling out for Mikuo and feeling the adrenaline course through my veins. I'm scared, I thought fleetingly. I hoped Mikuo was okay and not doing what I think he was which was beating Akaito to a pulp. Oh Mikuo…what am I going to do with you? I passed Akaito and his group of friends. Wait…Akaito? So that means…Mikuo isn't killing him mercilessly, I thought relieved and stopped running.
"Where are you Mikuo?" I mumbled to myself. As I got farther from the school building and walked past the field house, I began to have a sinking feeling.
"Mikuo…please…where are you?" I murmured, getting worried like Miku. Suddenly my vision became dark and I felt a body pressed against my back.
"I'm right here silly girl…seems I had you worried." A voice whispered into my ear. I instantly relaxed, but trembled at the same time. I felt up my face and felt his hands covering my eyes.
"Let me take you somewhere…somewhere that I think you will like it…" Mikuo whispered again, his voice was hoarse this time. He nudged my leg with his knee, signaling me to walk and I did, letting him guide me. We walked some distance away from the school; the noises were fading with each step.
"Okay…keep your eyes closed and no peeking," Mikuo said and I nodded. He removed his hands and I kept my eyes shut like I said I would. I heard a squeak, the sound of rusty metal on its hinges and felt my curiosity grow.
"Okay, just a little bit further now," Mikuo said and set his hands over my face once again. I began walking and he nudged me to the left.
"Okay now sit down slowly." Mikuo instructed and I obeyed, feeling around for something to sit on until I felt a rough, rocky surface, and sat down carefully.
"Okay you can open your eyes now." Mikuo said and dropped his hands from my face, caressing my cheek in the process. My eyes fluttered open and I gasped. We were sitting on a cement bench in front of a small koi pond, with a small bridge connecting one side with the other. I looked to my left and saw bushes of gardenias growing, the Sakura tree in front of me was in late bloom, to my right was a small flower bed of roses, and behind us was a white wooden fence incased with honey-suckle. It smelled the air and found that it smelled wonderful. I looked at Mikuo and stared at him in awe.
"This is amazing!" I finally found my voice. He smiled and looked down at my hand and took it in his and squeezed it ever so slightly. I applied a bit of pressure back, staring at his eyes. His cheeks were tainted with a small amount of pink, making him look cute.
"Yeah…you're the first person I've brought to see this; I haven't even showed Miku," He said slightly hesitant, worried his words might upset me.
"Whoa…I feel so special now," I smiled, feeling heat rise to my face. I looked up at his face and noticed his eyes were on my…lips. He unconsciously licked his and seemed to lean in a little closer, our noses almost brushing.
"You are special, Rin. You're special to me…" He said, staring into my eyes. I felt my excitement spike, and I unintentionally leaned in as well. I closed my eyes as I felt Mikuo's lips brush mine and stayed like this for a few seconds before Mikuo pulled back hesitantly and then kissed me again, applying more pressure this time. I smiled or tried smiling with his lips on mine and this time I pulled back and put my forehead on his.
"Wow…my first kiss." I said breathlessly and he smiled.
"That was mine too." He whispered. I bit my lip and stood up. He stared at me and confusion until I grabbed his wrist.
"The late bell rings in ten minute, so we better start walking back." I said and he smiled. I let go of his wrist and he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers, making me blush.
"Are we…you know…together now?" I asked feeling stupid by the sound of my voice. I mentally face-palmed myself.
"I want to, but before we are I want to do it right!" He told me and then stopped. He turned to face me and was now holding both of my hands in his.
"Rin Kagamine, I have had feelings for you since you first spoke to me and I want to make you happy. Your smile hypnotizes me and your laugh makes me want to just hug you. Will you go out with me Saturday night?" He asked staring into my eyes. I giggled and thought about my plans for Saturday. The sleepover is Friday night and I don't think I'm doing anything on Saturday, I thought slowly.
"Mikuo Hatsune, yes I will go out with you Saturday, as long as you agree to be my boyfriend." I stated and he smiled a cheesy grin, melting my insides.
"If you become my girlfriend, then it's a deal." He told me and I nodded, blushing once more. Girlfriend, I thought to myself and smiled at the thought. We began to walk back to school, holding hands. We walked past several people who looked at us and began to whisper. I squeezed Mikuo's hand under all the un-wanted attention and he put his arm around me, shielding me from people's gazes. I leaned my head on the side of his chest and smiled happily feeling safe. Little did I know that a certain blue-eyed boy was watching me through narrowed eyes. We walked into the building, seeing that our group was already inside. Mikuo walked me to class and told me he would see me third period. I sighed, wishing I didn't have to go to school now as I took my seat. Len walked into the room, his group of fan-girls trailing behind him with awed expressions. I rolled my eyes and imagined myself making a puking noise. Bleh! Len saw me and told the girls he would be right back and the girls squealed at him as he waved. He walked towards me, smiling one of those friendly smiles and I instantly shrank back in my chair, not daring to breath. He stood in front of my desk and continued to smile.
"Hey Rin! I heard you and Mikuo were going out." He said, his eyes seemed to harden on the last sentence. His eyes seemed like ice at the moment and were slightly narrowed.
"Yes Mikuo is my wonderful boyfriend, and it's not really any of your business, Kagamine." I said rather poisonously. I heard gasps from the classroom as they listened in on the conversation.
"Oh stop acting like a bunch of kids." I retorted at them. They immediately turned around and some began to whisper. I looked back up at Len, whose gaze had turned dangerously dark and his lips were pinched into a thin line.
"…okay…well I hope everything goes great between you two!" He smiled, but something seemed off with that smile; it almost seemed sinister.
"…" I held my tongue on saying anything and watched him slip back into his little group of fan-girls and chat with them happily. I felt somewhat at unease with those words and his expression. Sensei had walked in and was now taking role, as I dawdled over everything that had happened so far. I pressed lips together, remembering how gentle Mikuo had kissed me. I felt my cheeks heating up and looked down.
"Rin?" Sensei called out. I raised my hand and said "here." and slipped back into thinking.
"Okay class, we are going to watch a movie based on samurai's while taking notes." Sensei said and everyone groaned. I pulled out a sheet of notebook paper and a pen, scribbling my name in cursive at the top. Sensei began the movie and turned the lights off. The only source of light was coming from a tiny window in the back and the projector which was showing the movie. About halfway into the movie, someone threw a note onto my desk.
So what's up?
L.
I looked over at Len who glanced at me in the corners of his eyes. I wadded up the paper and tossed it into the trash a few feet away from my desk. It landed nicely in and I breathed a sigh of relief and began to work on my notes once more. Another note landed on my desk and I looked up in aggravation.
Hey that was mean! I just wanted to talk to you because we haven't had an actual conversation!
L.
I again wadded up the paper and threw it away, trying so hard to get caught up where I left off. Once again another note landed on my desk. I growled in frustration and flipped it open.
Hey stop that! Why do you keep throwing my notes away? I'm running out of paper here!
L.
I sighed and wrote back.
Go away and stop bothering me, unlike you, I don't want to fail. Go bother one of you annoying little girlfriends and stop harassing me!
I smirked at the note and slid it on the floor to Len, who scooped it up and quickly read it. I looked at his expression and saw it began to grow into a furious expression, but almost as quick as it came, that expression was calm and cold. He wrote quickly and passed the note once more.
Don't be like that Rin. We are supposed to be friends and friends don't hurt other friend's feelings.
I read it and felt myself boil. I wrote swiftly and slid it back to him.
Obviously that rule doesn't apply to you.
He read it and bit his lip. He wrote again and passed it to me, but I quickly threw it in the trash. Len didn't try to send anymore notes and I began to work on the assignment once more, relieved that I would have no more interruptions. The movie ended, showing the credits, and Sensei turned the lights back on.
"Okay class, please pass your papers forward so that I may grade them. The bell will ring in two minutes so I will allow you to pack up and get ready for your next class." He said and began to collect the papers. I grabbed my books and put them in my bag that Mom had given me. I shuddered as I remembered what she said she put in here. The bell rang and I was now heading to science with Piko. I felt bad for what I said to Len, but it was true. I felt the lingering feelings of love for him, but I immediately squished them. He doesn't love you and he never has! It's time you move on and be happy with Mikuo, I thought and smiled at the thought of Mikuo's happy face.
"Oh Rin, don't forget our little deal," Piko smirked and I groaned. Today was Tuesday so…I had two days until the first cheerleading practice. I didn't really want to go, but I knew I had to do it for Miki's and Piko's relationship and who knows, maybe Piko could beat Len. I smiled deviously at that thought and saw Piko staring at me.
"So you must have something up your sleeve because of that evil smile you're making," Piko commented.
"Oh yes Piko I have evil plans for you…they are to dress you up in a dress and put makeup on you! Mwuahahahaha!" I laughed evilly and rubbed my hands like the villain does in batman. Piko turned red and began to shout.
"Rin Kagamine, if you do, so help me I will steal every orange in the city and eat them in front of you and I won't share!" He yelled at me. I smacked him.
"Hey don't forget, I'm stronger and faster than you so what now, little shota boy?!" I retorted and he grimaced and started muttering about girls and their hormones.
We walked into class and sat down at the table we did yesterday and the teacher told us to do the book work on Chapter 16, page 176. I flipped the book open, grabbed my orange pen, and picked up my spiral. I didn't understand any of the questions and I felt too lazy to flip back to the chapter and read it, so I copied of Piko. Piko was very well organized and a straight A student like Len, while I had a B in math, which prevented me from being a straight A student as well. Stupid dyslexia, A.D.D, and A.D.H.D!
(A/N: I have A.D.D, dyslexia, and A.D.H.D so I gave Rin my grades and my problems xD)
I sat there copying Piko when I felt someone staring at me, except this didn't feel like the same stare like always. I glanced up and saw Galaco glaring at me. There was hatred in her eyes and I met them head on until she looked away. I continued to copy Piko; changing the way he described it into something that sounded like something I would say and made it less obvious that I was copying him. The bell rang and I bolted to the Music hall. I found a chair in the corner and saved some seats. Mikuo came in before any of my friends and quickly took a seat beside me. Miku and Gumi came in, spotting us in the corner and Miku quickly pounced on us.
"Mikuo, where were you? I couldn't find you anywhere and I was so worried something happened! Wait…why are you holding Rin's hand?" She said and looked at our hands.
"Miku we are going out and I'm sorry I scared you, it won't happen again." Mikuo said and patted his younger sister's head. Miku squealed and now pounced on me.
"Ohhhh I knew it! I knew you had a thing going on! You two make such a good couple!" Miku went on blabbering and it made me wonder how she could keep going on like that without breathing. Gumi finally stepped in.
"I'm glad you finally are going out!" Gumi smiled and sat down beside me. Miku stopped talking and sat on the other side of Mikuo.
"Okay class let's get started! We have some people who did not get to present their song yesterday and I would like to continue with that!" Bruno said as he checked to make sure everyone was here.
"Okay Taito Shion, you're up!" Bruno said and Taito walked up stage. He glowered at everybody, which was normal and I couldn't help but feel special. I was the only one Taito showed a soft side too, and he was the one I could come to if I wanted him to brutally kill someone, other than his brothers. I hadn't been scared when Kaito first introduced me and that's what had surprised Taito. I told him what I had happened with my dad and Len because Taito was understanding. He appeared to be tough and evil, but to me, he was a soft teddy bear. Taito continued to glower and said, "I will be singing 'VOiCE'." I sat back in my seat as Taito's voice filled into the microphone. Taito didn't like his voice, but I thought his voice was amazing almost better that Kaito's. They voices were about even on how good they were and it was so hard to pick which one was better. Once Taito was done, I stood up and clapped for my friend.
"That was awesome, Taito!" I praised him and he smiled or what seemed a smile- it seemed more of a dangerous smirk, but to me it was meant to be a smile.
"Thanks Rin." He said and almost ruffled my hair if I hadn't ducked.
"Hey! Don't touch the hair; I'm trying to look pretty for my boyfriend!" I pouted. He gave me this odd look.
"Who's your boyfriend?" Taito finally said, clearing his throat.
"Mikuo." I told him cheerily. He scowled and shrugged.
"Okay." Was all he said before walking away. I huffed and muttered, "Rude." When he was out of hearing rang.
"Mikuo! You are up next!" Clara said. Mikuo stepped onto the stage. Mikuo walked up stage and started talking.
"I made this song for a special someone in the crowd today because at first I didn't have the guts to tell her, but now I am." He smiled and stared directly at me, making my heart melt. Miku squealed and poked me in the shoulder and Gumi winked at me. Halfway across the room was a set of blue eyes burning holes into my back, but I didn't turn around to see who it was even though I already had a good idea.
(A/N: I made this cause I wasn't about to use one of Miku's songs because they are about her a.k.a a girl! So enjoy this song I made once long ago on garage band! If any of you have it, then you understand what I mean)
Whispering Lies
By: Nikoru-chi
Sung by: Mikuo (no you won't find this on you-tube sorry, like I said I made it so no stealies unless you credit me)
Everyday it's a wonder I'm still walking,
still talking, still smiling. When you're not
here, I can't even breathe; I don't even try.
Cause everyday it's a lie after another, pretending
these feelings don't exist, pretending you're not my
everything, when truth is…
I can't stop these swirling emotions, spinning
me out of control! I'm like a bomb ready to explode.
When will I have the guts to tell you how I feel?
I kick myself down to the dust, pretending I'm okay.
Your smile is what I want and I only want you to look at me that way.
I want to be the one at your side, nobody else. Want to make you like nobody else.
I want you to see the real shades of red underneath this mask. I want you
to see the real me.
The entire time he was singing, Mikuo kept his eyes focused on mine and I felt my cheeks burning. My heart was racing and I felt like I could cry for being such an idiot. Once he was finished, he came off stage and kissed me, his lips against mine. He cradled my face, while I put my arms around his neck. If looks could kill, both Mikuo and I would be dead right now. Those blue eyes from before were deadly cold as the blonde left the room.
Hi guys I had some time to update before I left so here I am, updating! R&R and wish me luck on hurdles! *carries some Neosporin * ^^
