Fate Is Against Us

Disclaimer: If you are 'brilliant' enough to actually think I own Vocaloid and or the Kagamines, you are so wrong! This is however, my original plot which is a bit tough since the setting is during the Heian era. So please do not steal or post this on other sites unless you've got my permission(still have to put credits to me =P)

Summary: The twins were abandoned as babies and were brought up as slaves. They were forced to part when they were 12 and ever since, they've never seen each other or even heard from one another. But when they do finally meet, they do it as strangers. Len became a nobleman, successful in his work while Rin was still the sex slave but to a close nobleman to Len.

Prologue

When morning had dawned, amongst all the yellow paddy plants I could see a familiar blond-haired boy working alone. That boy was quite skinny but not to the point of starvation, he was still too young to do such hard labour but despite that, in his eyes I see determination. I smiled to myself, suppose I did have a habit of admiring my brother too much.

Before breakfast was served to the boys, all of the girls including the house mother would eat their meal. This is one of the routines we have in this slave manor. We were taught to serve the boys in grace and patience as to instil discipline and practice for the future when we were bought by our owners. To add more pressure, Fujisaki-san would whack us on our hands if ever we make a mistake and every time we do, it gets reported back to Natsume-sama, the owner of the manor. I am terrified of making clumsy mistakes just like the others are. We wouldn't want to stay in this miserable house forever.

"Rin," the middle-aged lady called. "I would like you to serve Leon from now on instead of your brother. You have been too close to him and this is not good."

My eyes opened wide. I don't want to serve anyone else beside Len. I only want to do it for him! But who am I to argue against her? I have no right whatsoever so I nodded, "Yes, mistress."

...

After the short meal, I was on my way to clean up the toilets while carrying buckets and brushes when I walked into a group of girls whispering in glee. And right away I recognised the long blonde-haired girl that served Len during breakfast.

"What was he like, Neru?"

"Len-kun was very kind and gentle towards me unlike that uncouth Leon. And he was very handsome too!" the girl blushed.

In jealousy and disgust, I spoke, "Len is always kind to everyone."

Thankfully, I did not sound offensive to them. Neru replied, "Yes, I've heard. And he's a very hard-worker. You are lucky to have him as a brother, Rin."

Despite being bitter towards her, I still could not help but smile. Of course I was grateful because most of the children here don't have family but I was especially appreciative of my brother who had such a loving and good-natured personality.

The next evening

"Ah! Forgive me, m-mistress...please," I whimpered in pain, trying very hard to keep my hands still in the air but they were trembling so hard. My hands were completely numb.

"This is your fault. You ruined such an important night for Natsume-sama!" she held the whip in the air in rage. "How could you have spilled hot tea on his client? Did you know the man suffered a scald? Thank goodness it was not a serious one but would he come back after such a thing? No!"

The whip was ripping the flesh on my hands each time it in contact. I was biting on my lip so hard it bled, my arms felt so tired, my hands were burning! I was in my limit. I could take it no longer.

"Mistress! Please, I beg of you! Forgive my sister," Len was pleading to her but she paid no attention. She hit my hands even harder.

...

No one was speaking to me after the beating. Everyone was stealing secret glances of me. I had to wash up my bleeding hand and tie the bandages by myself. It was heart-breaking. I couldn't even move my hands how could I bind them up?

I hear a faint knock on the wooden door and I turned back to see a disheartened Len holding his head down. His voice whispers, "Do you need help?"

Without waiting for an answer, he walked inside the quiet room and sat in front of me. He gently took my hands and turned them around so that my palms were facing him. His grip on my wrist tightened slightly and small drops of his tears dropped onto the wooden floor. "I'm sorry Rin. I'm so sorry for being useless to you when you needed help...I'm so sorry, Rin."

My eyes blurred with tears but I tried to fight them and smile. "It wasn't your fault Len. It was mine...I'm sorry to have made you worry so much about me. I'm so hopeless, a useless sister."

"Don't, Rin. Please don't ever say that again," his sapphire eyes pleaded. "You are my sister and I love you. If I can't get worried for you, then who am I to do that for?"

I gave a weak but honest smile as he smeared the cold herbs on my painfully bleeding hands. What if he was bought by an owner and I'm left here alone? That possibility haunted me. I didn't want to part with my brother. He's the only reason I can stay cheerful in this retched house. "Len..." I spoke trying to get the words out of my mouth, "if one of us were to leave the other, what would you do?"

His cerulean eyes widened from the sudden question but softened as he looked at me. "If ever that would happen, I would do everything in my power to find you even if it kills me," he said as he finished wrapping the bandage around my hands.

I lean my head on his shoulder, "But I don't want you to die," my voice croaked as my tears ran down my puffy cheeks. Len placed my hands gently on my lap and I felt his hand on both sides of my head. He gently pulled me away enough to face him. The next thing he did was the last thing I thought he would do. He started gently kissing my tears and eyes, not bothered to stop. "L-Len...stop it."

"I'm not going to. Not until you stop crying," he whispered.

Don't worry about the slow uploading because I've already written 6 chapters however, I'm checking the grammar and maybe edit it a bit to make sure the flow of the story is good. If there are grammar mistakes please forgive me and if it's serious, please tell me. Btw, the M-rated scenes won't always be in every chapter so please be patient for the chapters that have it. Again, I need reviews and please keep reading ah! w
