I just got this idea while writing 'Wish Upon A Wing' and listening to Rin and Len's songs. Then I stumble on the song that this story is named after. I may not update this story for a while because I'm still writing 'Wish Upon A Wing.' Anyway, please enjoy a familiar childhood story...not that familiar.

The Wolf who fell in Love with Little Red Riding Hood

A Meeting with Sighs

Once upon a time… there was a girl who wore her red hood so much that she gained the name 'Little Red Riding Hood.' One day, her mother told the girl to deliver some food to her sick grandmother. The only way to her grandmother is through the woods, and so the girl went. On her way, the girl encountered a wolf. The wolf asked where she was going and the girl naïvely told him. Pointing out some flowers to distract the girl, the wolf ran to her grandmother's house and devoured her. When the girl finally arrived at her grandmother's house, she remarks how different her grandmother looked. Finally the girl pointed out that her grandmother had such a big mouth, the wolf pounced on her and ate her up as well… or did he? Now, please, tell ME the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf.'

Rain swiped at the closed window. A fire crackled loudly in a fireplace. A little girl smuggled closer in her mother's lap. Her mother was holding an open book entitled 'Little Red Riding Hood.'

"Did da Big Bad Wolf weally eat Little Red Riding Hood's granny, mummy?" the girl asked.

Her mother smiled.

"Yes he did," she replied then turned the page, showing a picture depicting the wood cutter rescuing Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.

"And before the Big Bad Wolf could eat Little Red Riding Hood," continued the girl's mother, "A heroic wood cutter burst in, cut the wolf's stomach open and rescued her grandmother! The end."

The girl clapped happily then came to an abrupt stop.

"What happened to da Big Bad Wolf, mummy?" the girl innocently asked.

Her mother looked at her in shocked. Clearly she wasn't expecting this question.

"The Big Bad Wolf died in the end," she replied.

The girl stared at the picture on the last page. It depicted the heroic wood cutter, grateful grandmother and happy Little Red Riding Hood but her eyes lingered at the picture of the limp body of the Big Bad Wolf.

"Poor wolfie," she muttered.

Her mother continued to stare at her in shock. She then stroked her daughter's short blonde hair.

"Now, dear," she said softly, "Wolves are bad creatures. They kill and eat our people and livestock so they deserve to die. Now, it's time for bed."

As the mother led her daughter to her room, the girl remained doubtful.

9 years have passed…

"And don't forget the apples!" called a woman from the kitchen.

"I won't, Mother!" a girl replied as she walked out of the door.

As soon as she exited the door, she pulled her red hood over her short blonde hair.

Hi! My name is Kagamine Rin! I'm 14 years old. Welcome to the world of Enchanted. It's a little strange here. Apparently, when a child is born, and as they grow up, they take the roles of characters from their favourite fairytale. Mine's a bit obvious. I take the role of Little Red Riding Hood, not that I'm little or naïve.

Rin weaved her way through a bustling market place; her marine blue eyes peeked out from the edge of her red hood.

"Hi Rin! Over here!" called a voice.

Rin turned to a certain direction, to spot a girl waving, with long teal hair tied in ponytails who was dressed in rags. She sighed and walked over to the girl.

This is Hatsune Miku. If the rags didn't give it away, she's Cinderella. Miku is 16 years old.

"Good morning Rin!" Miku cheerfully greeted, "Isn't it a lovely morning?"

"What are you doing dressed in rags again Miku?" Rin asked, "You're already married to Prince Kaito aka Charming!"

Miku slapped her hands over Rin's mouth.

"Shh!" she hushed, "Don't give me away! I'm in disguise! I don't want to draw any unwanted attention!"

She then took her hand away, to allow Rin to breathe.

"Anyway," Rin gasped, "I have to go. Mother is waiting for me to get the grocery."

Miku smiled, "Sure! I'll see you next time!"

Rin then hurried past. When she neared the fruit stall, Rin noticed there was a commotion.

"What do you mean you're out of Pink Lady apples?!"

A lady with short brown hair and blazing red eyes was glaring at the trembling stall holder.

"I-It m-means we're out of P-Pink Lady apples, madam," the stall holder replied.

Rin blinked. The lady crossed her arms across her chest.

"What other apples have you got?" she demanded.

"W-Well, there's some lovely Granny Smith…," the stall holder trembled.

"Granny Smith?!" shrieked the lady, "If you don't know, I eat only red apples! Do you hear?! RED!"

"Morning Meiko," called Rin.

The lady looked up and a smile appeared on her face.

"Rinny!" she cried and wrapped her arms around Rin.

T-This is Meiko. *gasp* She's 20 years…old. *gasp* If her crave for apples didn't say much, she's… Snow White, amazing huh?

"Meiko, let go…please," Rin gasped.

Meiko blinked then realised how tight her grip was before letting go.

"So getting some grocery for your ma, huh?" Meiko smiled then frowned at the stall holder, "But don't bother with this stall. The owner is terrible."

"Um, have you tried Sundowner apples?" Rin suggested.

Meiko stared at her then clapped her hands.

"Sundowner!" she exclaimed, "What a brilliant idea!" She turned to the stall holder, "A basket full of Sundowners, please!" she demanded.

"A basket full?!" cried the stall holder. Meiko gave him a death glare.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked, her voice was dangerously soft.

"N-No, not all!" spluttered the stall holder before giving Meiko a basket of apples.

"See you Rin!" waved Meiko as she disappeared into the crowd.

The stall holder turned to Rin with a tired expression.

"And what do YOU want, girl?" he said weakly.

Girl?! I'm fourteen years old!

Rin decided to ignore the insult, "Just four Sundowners please," she replied politely.

The stall holder gave her the amount and she then turned and walked off in the direction of home.

Rin stared out of her bedroom window. When she's at home, Rin doesn't wear her red hood. Instead she ties a white bow on top of her head, making her look as if she's got white bunny ears.

Rin's bedroom wasn't that big since her mother and she only lived in a cottage but it was cosy. It had a single bed, a desk and a small bookcase full of books. Near her bedroom door was a cloak hanger where her signature hood hangs. Rin watched as blue birds hopped and chirp outside, on a nearby branch. She sighed.

I must admit. I'm not really content with my life. I mean my character's life. Being Cinderella must fun; you get to dress up nicely, wear fancy shoes and go to a ball. Snow White is not bad either, your housemates are seven dwarfs, your neighbours are local wood animals and you get drugged…kinda.

Rin sighed again.

As for me, I just do errands.

"Rin!" her mother called, "Can you come to the kitchen please?"

Rin got up and approached her mother. Her mother was holding out of large basket. Judging by the delicious smells wafting out of the basket, her mother had filled it with goods.

"Now Rin, can you deliver this basket of food to your grandmother's?" her mother asked, "She's not feeling well."

"Sure," Rin replied as she grabbed her red hood.

She reached out to take the basket from her mother when her mother took it back.

"Now, be careful in the woods okay?" she said.

Rin rolled her eyes, "I will, Mother."

Her mother held out her hand.

"And beware of wolves," she warned.

"Mother!" Rin cried, "All the times I've been to Grandmother's, I've never encounter a wolf ever!"

Her mother sighed, "I know, I know," she said, "I'm just worried about your safety."

Rin smiled and clasped her mother's hand.

"I'll be fine Mother," she reassured her, "I'm not five years old anymore."

"Sometimes I still think you are," her mother sighed again.

"I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?" said Rin as she took the basket and left through the door with her mother watching after her with worried eyes.

Birds chirped above Rin and a gentle breeze made the trees rustle. Sunlight streamed through the leaves making them glow like emeralds. Rin's red hood flapped in the wind like a cape. She happily ran and twirled about.

Did I mention that I love walking through the woods? I don't know why I love it so much, maybe because it gives a sense of freedom.

Rin filled her lungs with the sweet forest air. She walked right past a field of flowers.

I may be Red Riding Hood but I'm not the type that gets easily distracted… or I'm not the type of girl that just stops and picks flowers all day long.

When she was just a couple of miles away from her grandmother's house, Rin suddenly heard a whine. She turned to where the noise was coming from and gasped. Beneath a shady tree lied… a wolf.

One of its legs was trapped in the jaws of a steel trap. The wolf was trying its best to free its leg but the only results were yelps and whines of pain. Rin stood there, her hands grew sweaty as she clasped the handle of her basket.

A wolf… A real wolf…

Suddenly it caught the whiff of humans and the wolf looked up. It froze. Both Rin and the wolf just stared at each other. Rin's blue eyes then slowly wondered down to the wolf's leg. A pool of blood was forming underneath it.

I-I can't just leave there… B-But it's a wolf…

Her mother's words from long ago echoed in her mind; "Wolves are bad creatures…they deserve to die."

Then unconsciously Rin took a few steps forward, towards the wolf. When it saw the human was drawing closer, the wolf curled its lips and a low snarl escaped from its mouth. Rin hesitated.

I-It could kill me…What am I doing?

Rin slowly approached it and knelt beside it. The wolf continued to growl at her. She looked into its eyes. To her surprise, the wolf's eyes were azure blue. Although there was aggressiveness in its eyes, deep down there was pain, hurt and exhaustion.

Poor thing. It'll die if it doesn't get out.

Putting her basket down, Rin took a deep breath and slipped her fingers into the jagged gap of the steel trap. Using all her strength, Rin tried to pry the steel trap open. The wolf stared at her.

"Come on," she groaned, "Open!"

Beads of sweat started to from on her forehead. Slowly the steel jaws opened.

"Nearly there," Rin gasped.

Thawk!

She fell back and the steel trap clattered onto the ground, opened. The wolf immediately took this chance to escape. It ran forward but then fell sprawled on the forest floor. Rin quickly ran towards it.

"Hang on!" she cried.

She produced a roll of bandages from her hood. The wolf snapped at her.

"I-It's alright," she said quietly, "I won't hurt you."

She sounded more confident than she felt. Rin gently took its paw in her hand and gently yet tightly bounded it in bandages.

What's gotten over me? Why do I want to save this wolf so badly? Aren't I, Red Riding Hood, supposed to be scared of them just like everyone else?

"There! All done!" Rin announced, "Just don't over exert it, okay?"

What am I thinking? The wolf's not going to understand me.

She was about to get up when she realize, with an injured leg, the wolf wouldn't be able to hunt. Rin started to fish in her basket.

I don't have any meats in here so…

She pulled out an apple.

This will have to do.

Rin placed the apple in front of the wolf.

"I don't have any meats with me," she said, "But you can try eating this apple."

Rin then got up, "I gotta now. I hope you get well soon."

Then she turned and continued to walk on the path.

The wolf watched as the strange girl dressed in red walked off. He stared at his paw.

What kind of human helps a wolf? It's humans that first set the trap in the first place.

He turned to stare at the strange object in front of him. The thing the girl called 'an apple'. The wolf nudged it with his nose. It doesn't look dangerous. He sniffed it. It doesn't smell that bad as well. Finally he opened his mouth and took a bite. The strangest yet delicious taste filled his mouth.

It's crunchy kinda like a bone yet soft like flesh at the some time.

He looked in the direction where the girl walked off. The wolf could still remember her scent when she approached him. She smelt of the forest with a hint of other humans. He looked back down at the bitten apple.

If only I could ask her for her name…

After she delivered the food and had a warm (and strangling) hug from her grandmother, Rin returned to the familiar forest path. She stopped at the shady tree where she found the wolf. There was nothing left expect for an apple core. Her mind lingered at the sight of those azure blue eyes.

What a strange wolf. Since when do wolves have blue eyes?

She stared at the shady tree.

I hope he doesn't get into fights. If he did, he wouldn't last for a moment with that leg... Wait. Why am I worrying about a wolf?

Rin walked over to the tree and sat down. She leaned against the truck and let out a big sigh.

Why can't I stop thinking about that wolf?

Unknown to her, the wolf was lying on the other side of the truck. He let out a low sigh.

Why do I feel nervous now that she's here?

Both their sighs overlapped each other...

So the wolf didn't eat Little Red Riding Hood. Instead being eaten, Little Red Riding Hood saved his life instead. Could this be a start of some sort of love? Is it possible for fairy-tales characters to change their story? But of course, we can't forget the ending; the heroic wood cutter burst in, cut the wolf's stomach open and rescued the grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood...and the wolf died. Will their love change the ending or just seal it? An interesting story seems to have opened its pages...

No, that's not THE END, okay? My aunty (since she read this) told me, "Don't make it have sad ending, okay?!" or she'll kill me. (She hates authors who writes tragedy, including Shakespere) But thank you reading this, please review! PLEASE!
