Hey everyone! I was bored so I decided to update...
Disclaimer: Um, no
Len's P.O.V
"I'm home," I called out as I closed the front entrance of my house behind me. My mother came out of nowhere and tackled me with a hug. Ever heard the words "Son Complex"?
It's sweet yet creepy at the same time.
"LenKins! How was your day?" My mother asked happily.
"Hello, mother. It was... terrible. Just when did you agree to lock me into a mountain with Rin Kagamine?" I asked in an annoyed voice. I do not want to be stuck up there with a flat-chest country bumpkin for 2 months!
"Oh, that. Yesterday night," my mother said with a little giggle. I raised my eyebrow. "I like the sound of this Rin girl. And, her acting is awesome!" Even my own mother! "I want to meet her before you go."
"You realize that this means that you won't see me for two months, right?" Those were the right words: my mother's grin immediately vanished and she had this demon aura swirling around her.
"NO! LENNY STAYS HOME! WHAT WILL MOMMY DO IF LENNY ISN'T HERE FOR HER TO TORTURE?" My mother wailed in despair.
"Exactly, mother. Wait. What do you mean by torture?"
Instead of answering me, my mother began pacing in circles around the room. "I HAD THE PERFECT IDEA FOR MOTHER-SON BONDING TIME! DAY AFTER TOMORROW! I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT AND EVERYTHING!" Why do I not like where this is going? "LENNY! I WANTED TO DRESS YOU UP IN LOLI DRESSES! WHYYY?"
"I think I'm going to the mountain after all, and boy am I looking forward to it!"
"I guess that we will have to do it tomorrow."
"Mom—"
"Hm... the entire day is going to go into it, but it will be fun!"
"For you. What about meeting Rin, mom?"
"Hmm..." My mother trailed off, apparently deep in thought. She than snapped her fingers, as if an idea occurred to her. "I'LL DRESS HER UP AS WELL! THIS IS PERFECT! SO WILL BE SO KAWAII!" I sighed, but then I realized that I would probably see Luka in one as well...
Was torture worth seeing Luka in a loli-dress?
I sighed, pulled my phone out, and then began texting Rin (I had her number because Ted forced me to put it into my contacts).
To: Rin
From: Len
Hey, wanna come over tomorrow? My mother would like to meet you.
A few minutes later, her reply came.
To: Len
From: Rin
Um... sure? Luka and Gakupo are coming as well.
YES! SCORE! LUKA WAS COMING! But Gakupo... crap.
To: Rin
From: Len
BTW, she is going to be dressing us up. Hope you don't mind!
"She's coming, along with her two friends," I said without even bothering to see what Rin's reply was.
"YES! MORE PEOPLE!" I mentally facepalmed, worried about the day to come.
*Time Skip: Next Morning*
"LEN! HURRY UP AND COME BACK HERE!"
"NEVER! NOW, STOP CHASING ME, MOM!"
"JUST WEAR THE FREAKIN' DRESS!" I sprinted away from my mother as she chased after me, a red loli dress in her hands. She finally tackled me and began forcing me to strip my clothing.
"Mom! At least me change by myself," I protested.
"NO! YOU'LL JUST RUN AWAY!" Dang, how did she know?! Suddenly—
"Len?" My mother and I stopped, both out of breath, to look up to see Rin, Gakupo, and Luka standing there. Rin snorted with laughter, and began rolling around the floor in laughter, where Gakupo joined her a few seconds later. Luka just stared in shock. And then I realized something:
I was embarrassed that everyone saw me, yes, but I felt more embarrassed when I realized that Rin had seen me, not Luka. Weird.
I blushed a deep red and said, "W-What are y-you doing here?"
"S-Some girl let us in," Luka said still staring at me. I blushed and rushed upstairs, coming down a few seconds later with more acceptable clothing.
"Well, now that everyone is here, I guess that we will start introductions. My name is Lola Kagamine, and it's a please to meet you," my mother said in her serious, business tone.
Rin bowed down. "It's a please to meet you, m'am. My name is Rin Kagamine," she said politely.
"I LIKE HER ALREADY, LEN!" I just rolled my eyes.
"My name is Luka Megurine, and this is Gakupo Kamui," my precious said with a bow, Gakupo, the demon, following her suit.
"Hmm... So, you two are dating?" They both blushed and nodded yes. "Good! You look quite kawaii together. I have the perfect costume for you two!" THAT TRAITOR! IT'S LIKE NO ONE IS ON MY SIDE TODAY. "So, let's start already? Wait, do you want tea or cakes or anything?" They all shook their head. "Great! Follow me!" She showed us upstairs, and into her humongous dress up room.
I'm not kidding: my mother acts like a little kid.
"So, let's get started! The lovely couple first! Hmm... how about this?" My mother asked while pulling out a costume for what seemed like a prince, and one for a normal commoner in older times. I asked her if I was correct. "Almost. It appears to be like that, but in truth, the woman is a witch. She means to cause no harm, but the prince, and the man she loves, puts her at stake. He wishes not to, but he must do what is best for the kingdom. She gets away by sprouting her black wings and flying away. It's a beautiful tale, yet somehow depressing." (A/N: Song: Witch Hunt, clothing from the same video)
"Sounds nice," Rin said as Gakupo and Luka changed clothing in two different "stalls" on the other side of the room. They did look good with each other, sadly. Gakupo offered his hand, and Luka took it, blushing.
"OH! SO CUTE! I CAN JUST SEE IT HAPPEN IN MY HEAD! LEN NEXT!" My mother produced a blue loli dress, and grabbed me before I could run away. "Now, you will wear this, or else I will make sure that those precious bananas of yours will never make it to the villa," my mother hissed, and I knew that she could carry out her plans completely.
Lose my dignity as a man or give it up just for some fruit.
The answer is obvious, of course.
I grabbed the dress angrily, and then changed in the stall. I came out a few seconds later, blushing heavily, and had a flash blind my eyes for a couple of seconds. "The hell... YOU BETTER NOT BE TAKING PICTURES!" When my eyes adjusted, I saw that all four of them had their phones out. Rin stepped forward, not even bothering to contain her laugh.
"Who knew? You make a cuter girl than me," she said happily while pinching my cheek..
"You're a girl? I could never tell by your flat chest," I countered.
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!"
"NEVER!"
"SCREW YOU, GIRL!"
"YOU AREN'T EVEN A HANDSOME BOY! YOU'RE JUST THIS UGLY THING!"
My mother broke through our argument by cracking up loudly, Gakupo and Luka joining in. "W-What?" I asked, cursing my stutter.
"You two act like a married couple!" My mother said happily. "Never mind that! Next is you, Rin!" She gave Rin and a box, which I looked in curiosity. No one else's dresses had been in a box. "Oh, you may want to take your bow and clips off for right now." Rin nodded her head and carefully handed Luka them. She then went into the stall. A few minutes she emerged.
She was wearing a gold, gothic loli dress, with black lacy stuff going down the front. She had a yellow color necklace, with a black rose, around her neck, and black elbow high gloves on her arms. Finally, her hair was pulled into a extravagant bun, a black bow in her hair, as well a black rose. I blushed despite myself.
She looked really good.
"Okay! Len, go and change into this," my mother said while pushing a box to me. I took it into the stall, changed, and then came out.
I was wearing a servant-like costume that matched Rin's—a yellow shirt, with a black rose pinned to it, and a black ribbon tied around my ponytail. (A/N: In case you couldn't tell, Servant/Daughter of Evil costumes) I took my place next to Rin, who was blushing, oddly. Wait... I WAS TOO! Weird.
"What was the meaning of this card in the box that says, 'For you, I would turn evil'?" I asked while holding out the card that I had found in the box. "Were these two in love or something?"
"Some stories say that, although most don't. Truthfully, they are supposed to be twins. But, I prefer them to be lovers—it's just too romantic," my mother said while fan-girl screaming. "It's too long and complicated to explain, but I have the book for it. Maybe one you could read it while in the mountains." Rin nodded her head eagerly. "Now, I want pictures! Don't worry, I will send them to you! Now... Len get on your knee, take Rin's hand, and pose like that."
"What? NO!"
"Bananas, child," she reminded me. I sighed and did as she did. My mother clicked away. "Hmm... next, just hold hands." Once she finished, she said, "Okay... finally, both of you down on your knees. Len, put your hands threw Rin's hair and Rin, hold onto Len's arms." We became oddly close. "Both of you, close your eyes." I heard an immediate gasp, but kept my position. "Okay... done! These are amazing! No wonder you guys are professionals in your field of work." I couldn't help it: I felt extreme pride surge through me.
A few seconds later I got a ding on my phone, and I saw the picture. It was actually really good, and I secretly put it as my wallpaper.
Rin's P.O.V
"Sorry for running late on your send-off," I heard a voice the I recognized to be Kiyoteru's say behind me. I turned around, and much to my surprise there was a beautiful lady and a young girl with him. The woman had gold hair and blue eyes, just like me. The young girl had brown hair, pulled into two pigtails, and brown eyes. Kiyoteru seemed to notice me staring because he said, "Oh, this is my wife, Lily, and my daughter, Yuki." I bowed while introducing myself.
"Onee-chan is pretty," Yuki said cheerfully. I smiled and patted her head.
"You're pretty cute yourself."
"Really? That's what this one boy says in my class as well!"
"WHAT BOY?!" Kiyoteru yelled, suddenly turning into over protective father.
"His name is Oliver!"
"NOOOOOOO! I WILL GO AND KILL THIS 'OLIVER!'"
"Hush. Let the girl have fun," Lily said with a scowl. Kiyoteru went into a corner and mumbled "My little caterpillar, already into a butterfly... boys at this age... unacceptable."
It was the weirdest thing that I have ever seen in my life, and that's saying something.
"Anyways," Kiyoteru said, snapping back into strict-movie-director mode. Mood swings much? "SeeU will be accompanying you on your journey to Rin's town, and then drive you up the mountain. She will come visit you once a week, bringing supplies and food. I will visit you when half your time is over." I nodded my understanding. Suddenly the train pulled into the station.
"Oh, we have to go!" I said while adjusting the hat and glasses that I was wearing as my "disguise" in the station. Kiyoteru smiled and waved us goodbye as we all got onboard and stored our luggage. "Thanks for everything!" I called out as the train began to move. Luka, SeeU, Gakupo, Len, and I eventually found our own compartment, got in, and pulled the doors close. I plopped down onto a seat, taking my rather feeble disguise off. Luka sat to my right, next to the window, and SeeU, Gakupo, and Len sat across from us.
"Why are we riding in a train? Who rides in trains anymore?" Len grumbled. "Why didn't we just fly?"
"Because my hometown is too close to fly, so we need to take the train. And, plenty of people use trains nowadays! And, the scenery is quite nice! So shut your yap and enjoy the ride," Luka said. Len did as he told, but I had a feeling that if I was the one who had said that, he would have begun to argue with me.
"So, how long is this train ride?" Len asked in the same annoyed voice.
"Hm..." I yawned and then continued. "Four hours."
"Why don't you go to sleep, Rin? You haven't been sleeping properly, right?" Gakupo suggested.
"What? Why not?" Len asked.
"Well, that is understandable. There are people Rin would rather not see and yet she will have to," Luka said while ignoring Len. I nodded my head.
"Who? Why are they you keeping you awake?" Len asked.
"Here, you can use me as a pillow," Luka said while shifting so that I could rest on her shoulder. I nodded my head, slowly beginning to drift off. The last thing I saw was Len's face, not one of jealously, like I expected, but one of concern and worry.
*Time Skip: Three Hours Later*
I heard a soft wheeze, or perhaps a snore, that made me instantly wake up. I found that there was some sort of weight on my head, and I wasn't leaning on Luka. Instead, she was sitting across for me, leaning against Gakupo while busily playing Word's with Friends with him. SeeU was busily typing away on her laptop, which left...
Len.
But, instead of getting angry like I usually would have, I just adjusted myself and fell back asleep.
*At the Station*
"RIN! RIN, LUKA, GAKUPO! OVER HERE," I heard a voice call out, and I turned to see my Niisan waving around crazily.
"NIISAN!" I screamed before racing over and launching myself into his arms. He laughed returned the hug.
"Good to see ya, squirt," he greeted while ruffling my hair. My brother, Rinto Kagamine, and I had a closer relationship than most siblings, even if we did fight from time to time.
"Rin, don't go running off like that," Luka said with a scowl. I just smiled in response.
"Are mom and dad here?" Rinto shook his head, and I scowled.
"They are making some big, fancy dinner since we have guests. Luka and Gakupo, your families are coming as well."
"Rin? RIN? Is that you?" I recognized that voice to be one of my friends, Aoki Lapis. She was beautiful, with blue hair at the roots that turned purple had the tips of her hair. She had blue eyes and usually wore a headband with a blue crown in her hair.
"AOKI!" I called out before giving the petite girl a hug. I had known her since Pre-School, making us close friends (yet not as close as Luka and I). "Why are you here?"
"CUL is supposed to be coming in today," she responded.
"EH? REALLY?" I screamed out loud. CUL was Aoki's older sister, despite them not looking anything alike, and had been studying at a college for a few years not, coming home only a few times. "You guys must come over for dinner than!" Aoki nodded her head, and then I heard someone awkwardly clear their throat. "Um... well, we need to get going. I will see you tonight, okay?"
"Okay, well let's get going! I'll take luggage as well whoever wants to come with me in the car. Otherwise, you have to walk," Niisan said.
"Well, I'm guessing that I will have to show everyone around. Luka, Gakupo do you want to go with Rinto?" They shook their head, and Rinto sighed and mumbled something like "Leaving me with a bunch of your crap so you can go and explore around... I see how it is..."
"I'll go with you. I'm dead tired," SeeU said. Rinto nodded, and they both got in the car. "Well... bye. See you at home!" Rinto said and drove away.
"WAIT! I wanted to go in the car as well," Len said. "Anyways, how are we going to walk everywhere? Won't that take a very long time?"
"Stupid. We live in a small town, not a city. So, everything is close enough to were we can walk. Rinto only came to get the luggage. So, let's get going," I said with a cheer. Luka and Gakupo ran up front, leave Len and I to lag behind. "Hmm... I'll tell you about everyone we see as we walk."
"Wouldn't that be too many people?"
"You really are an idiot. SMALL town, NOT city. I know everyone here, even if I haven't really been home for the past few years." Len shrugged. "...There is IA, Luka's younger sister... Taito and Kiku, the crazy, violent couple..." I don't think Len believed me until he saw the butcher knife being casually twirled by Kiku, or the scars Taito was covered in. "...Yukari, whose family is neighbors with us..." We went around town, me pointing out random people, Len nodding his head intensely. Luka and Gakupo were long gone.
"...So, that's the end of it," I said as we neared my house. "Now, it's time to meet my family," I said, wincing when I heard how nervous I sounded. Seriously, it's not like I'm dating Len, so I shouldn't be scared of my parents reactions.
We reached the yard of my house, and unlocked the gate, allowing us in. Something- someone- sprinted out, and tackled Len to the ground, and then covered his mouth with their hand. "What are your intentions towards my daughter, you... you... you lowlife!"
Meet my mother, Gumi. She's crazy, weird, and addicted to carrots. She also happens to be super over protective of her children, so she tends not to trust anyone.
"Mmmmm! Mm, mm, mmm," Len said.
"Oh, so you say 'Noooooo! I hate Rin?'" Len nodded his head several times. "Well... that makes everything different," my mother mumbled, and I could see Len's eyes sparkle with hope. "WE MUST EXTERMINATE YOU IMMEDIATELY! YOU MERE EXISTENCE WILL CORRUPT THIS PLANET AND ALL WHO INHABIT IT!"
"MMM?!"
"You ask why... clever. But, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY RETARDED IF YOU HATE RIN!" The phase 'Hate Rin' seemed to echo across the neighborhood, and then:
"Hate Rin?"
"DID SOMEONE JUST SAY 'HATE RIN'?!"
"What's wrong with that person?"
"They need to be burned at the stake!"
Suddenly my brother came out of nowhere, a baseball bat raised, followed my father and SeeU.
My brother, Rinto Kagamine, is quite overprotective of me, as well as everyone else in this town. My father, Gumiya, is quite strict and scary if he wants to be, yet is also kind and caring. And funny. He's very strange.
"Okay, okay, cut it!" I said loudly before this could somehow progress to a riot. "It goes both ways- we both hate each other. Now, Mom, get off of Len and uncover his mouth so that he can breath, Rinto, put the bat down." They did as I said, and Len got up, really freaked out.
"So it's a love-hate relationship?" My mother asked.
"No, it's just a hate relationship," I responded.
"Wait... THEY ARE IN LOVE?!" Gumiya asked.
"N-no-"
"NO! My little girl, all grown up... where did the days go?!" My father said in a dejected voice.
"Hm... he's kind of weird looking," my mother said. "Like, those freaky blue eyes, the blonde hair... urg," my mother said. (A/N: No offense if that is your appearance!)
"HEY! I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT!" I shouted, and Rinto nodded his head in agreement. "Anyways, family, meet Len Kagamine. Len Kagamine, family," I said.
"U-Um... pleasure to meet you?" Len said in a trembling voice, phrasing it to be more like a question than answer.
"Hey, he's poliet! I like him already! Good choice, Rinny!"
Did I mention that my family is bipolar?
"Hey, let's get him inside and get him drunk with Sake so that he will spill all of his darkest secrets!"
And pretty sadistic.
"HHAHHAHAHA! SOUNDS FUN!"
Not to mention crazy.
I lead Len inside, who was obviously freaked out by my family.
*Time Skip: At Dinner*
Len's P.O.V
No wonder Rin is so weird: her entire family is crazy, not to mention scary. They had already tried to press me into getting in a drinking contest with Rin's mother, and when I arm wrestled with Rinto, he nearly broke my wrist. Her father kept on coming up, and poking me, and then mumbling something like "Flabby..." or "Hm... he works this area out..."
It scared the shit out of me.
But, yet at the same time, they were pretty cool. There was this undeniable closeness between the four of them, despite their arguments that popped up every three seconds.
Luka, Aoki Lapis, and Gakupo's family eventually joined us in our celebration of madness. It was pretty awesome, yet weird all at the same time. I found myself having tons of fun.
The doorbell rang, and Rin went to go answer it. "P-Piko?" I heard her ask in confusion. "W-What are you doing here?" I got up in time to see a boy tackle Rin with a hug. Some hot prickly feeling went through me...
Wait...
IS THIS JEALOUSY?!
But, that makes no sense. Why would I be jealous of Rin hugging some guy that I had seen for the first time in my life. It's not like I like the guy, or anything.
And, no way in hell I would like Rin.
Yeah, I know that you are wondering about the train, and I have a perfectly reasonable explanation: Luka had to go to the bathroom, so I took her place, and when she got back, she refused to move back to where she was sitting. Me, being the gentleman that I am, decided not to wake Rin up, and eventually fell asleep.
But, it sort of felt nice.
Continuing forward.
"Piko? What are you doing here?" Rin said, and I could tell that she was grinning.
"Ah, can't I say hi to my friend?" I decided that I don't like this 'Piko' guy. He was acting too friendly- I mean, he... his hair was weird. (I totally wasn't going to say 'He was acting too friendly with Rin.' Why would I?)
"Sorry for intruding," I heard a young girl say. I turned to see a girl with red hair and matching red eyes stepping into Rin's already-packed house. I also saw Rin's face fall immediately and then became masked up with a smile.
"Hello, um..." Rin said awkwardly. I'm guessing that she doesn't know this person, whoever she is. Then, why wouldn't she like her?
"The name is Miki, and I'm guessing that you are Rin!" Rin nodded her head wordlessly. "Piko has told me so much about you," she continued cheerfully. Rin turned to Piko, who blushed.
Yeah, I defiantly don't like him.
"M-Miki and I are dating," Piko said.
Well, what do ya know? This kid has really proven himself!
Wait... what? I think that Rin's family's bipolar-ness has spread to me.
Rin looked downcast for a few seconds, and then smiled another fake smile. "Well, welcome in! I feel bad for you Miki: Piko's quite the troublemaker of a boyfriend. I would know," Rin said with yet another fake smile. But, surprisingly, Piko and Miki didn't seem to notice that Rin was faking everything. Weird.
Piko and Miki walked straight past me, and into the dining room. As Rin walked past, I stopped her by grabbing her hand and pulling her back. "You're a terrible actress," I mumbled into her ear before pushing her away. She looked at me with wide eyes for a few seconds, and then went to go join back in the party.
"Hey, everyone," she said cheerfully, "Want more Sake?" A cheer from the adults came down. No one seemed to notice Rin's unhappiness, which seemed to be carefully masked.
"So, Rin," Aoki said slyly. "Oh, and you, Len. Tell us about your relationship."
"Um, what relationship?" I asked blankly. Everyone stopped talking and cheering and stared us in shock (well, everyone except for Luka, Gakupo, and SeeU, who looked mildly worried).
"Aren't you two dating?" She asked in a confused voice.
"No, Aoki. I told you that before, didn't I?" There was a hard edge to Rin's voice, and I could tell that she was upset over something I wasn't getting.
"Oh... well, everyone thought that you were lying because you were embarrassed about it," Aoki said in embarrassment.
"Well, you couldn't have asked?" Rin hissed.
"Is this that big of a deal?" This time it was Luka who spoke.
"No," Rin said in a depressed voice. She then got up and walked to the door of the room. "I'm beat. Night." She went upstairs, leaving everyone, except for me, in complete shock.
"W-What just happened?" Rinto asked.
I sighed, and came forward from were I was leaning on the door. "When you are a celebrity, you have all of these rumors flying around about you, who you are going out with, what you like, and so on." Everyone stared at me like I was some sort of teacher giving them valuable information. "So, she was expecting- hoping, actually- that you wouldn't believe them, and trust her instead. So, she probably somehow feels betrayed." Everyone gaped at me, and I shrugged uncomfortably.
*Time Skip: At One In the Morning*
I got up from my bed in the guest bedroom, and walked out of the room. I couldn't sleep- never can, really- but I usually have my laptop to distract me. Instead, I had to settle to going outside and trying to think about, I dunno, life.
To my surprise, however, Rin was sitting on the swing in her backyard. Had she fallen asleep here? "Hey, what are you doing up and out?" I asked in a confused voice.
She sniffed. "I couldn't sleep, and I love looking outside at this time of night, in the cold, so I came out here to think." She was right: it was beautiful. They lived right next to a lake, and it was a full moon, so it created this beautiful reflection.
"So, what is your relationship with Piko? Why did you look depressed when you found out that he was dating that girl, Miki." I started gently pushing her back and forth on the swing.
"Ah, well it's stupid, really. I used to date Piko-" A flash of anger surged through me "-And broke up with him when I moved to the big city for my career. I was just taken by surprise that he is dating someone now. I don't know why, but I was somehow expecting that was also single. Don't misunderstand- I no longer have those types of feelings for him. I just felt... lonely."
"It's expected." She looked up at me, surprised, and I smiled back gently at her. The wind picked up, and my hair fell in front of my eyes. "And, I'm guessing that right after that was just killed you." She turned back around, staring at the lake.
"Something like that. So, now I'm feeling pathetic. I mean, I didn't have to overreact like that! I ruined everyone's night just because of my own stupid, selfish reasons."
I considered that, and then said, "Well, it's better that you did that then not say anything at all. They realize that now, and will begin trusting you more."
"I guess so. I just wish that they believed me originally." I pushed her a bit harder.
"Well, that is kind of the path you choose to take. One filled with rumors and such," I said.
"It's damn lonely," she mumbled. I pushed her harder, getting ready. "It's almost like I have no friends, or anything."
I finally hopped up on the back of the swing. Rin let at a little yelp, and I then said, "Well, you have me."
End of Chapter 4! (Or, at least I think it's chapter 4) Sorry for a lame and boring chapter: I swear, I will try to make it better. The actual plot starts in the next chapter, at any rate.
Anyways, what were your thoughts about this chapter? Please review!
