If you haven't seen the Rin and Len "Boss Death" PV sang by Valshe, you need to. It's amazing. Len is very, very tasteful. Both Rin and Len are badass, and I have respect for Valshe since she sings both parts. I've been wanting to write this for a while now. So, now I am. Sorry guys, but no RinxLen. They're just twins. They won't have love interests at all. Well, maybe slightly, but nothing major. Enjoy. :)

Prologue

"Come on, Len!" my sister called. She was running ahead of me, her short hair bouncing back and forth as she did so. I chased after her, my short ponytail tapping the back of my head as I got closer. My sister suddenly stopped, her red dress and matching hair ribbon flowing in the slight breeze. "You're so slow!" she teased.

"Maybe you're just too fast!" I retorted with a smile. She grabbed my hand and pulled me farther into the field. Both of us were giggling from our fun. When we were in the middle of the field, she dragged me to sit down.

"Rin, you're so bossy! What if I didn't want to sit?"

"Then you shouldn't have sat down!" I sat there, pouting at her. She was a bossy sister, even though I'm the older twin. I stared down at the grass, sitting with my legs crossed Indian-style. From the top of my eyes, I saw Rin's arms moving, but I didn't know what she was doing. After several minutes of staring at the grass I felt something light fall on my head. I looked up and saw my sister put a crown of flowers on my head.

"All hail King Len!" she cheered happily. I smiled and started laughing. Then she grabbed the suspenders I was wearing and pulled them towards herself. She released them and they snapped against my body. Even though I was still wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, it still hurt a lot.

"Ow! How dare you hurt the king? You will be punished for this!" I said smiling. I reached over and lightly tugged on her hair, hard enough for my to notice, but not hard enough to hurt her too badly. We both were laughing again. Suddenly I saw a gray fog raising into the sky.

"Rin, what's that?" I asked, pointing to the fog.

"I don't know."

Seconds later, we heard a huge scream from a pair of adults. A huge fire started blowing up and spreading itself through the whole village. All the houses were burning down, and many, many people were running around and screaming.

"Len, I'm scared!" Rin grabbed my hand and hid her face in my chest.

"We'll be okay, Rin. We're way over here. We won't get hurt."

We kept hearing screams and things falling over. We kept seeing people fall over their feet as they ran, and many things begin to burn down. Rin started to cry from being scared.

"Don't cry, Rin. Big girls don't cry." I comforted. She just kept crying. She didn't argue with me at all, or even say anything. She kept her eyes shut, trying to black out all the disastrous things happening around us. I hugged her to make her feel better, but it didn't work out very well. I saw my mom and dad running around. I saw their lips moving, but I couldn't hear what they were saying. They had burns all over them, and their clothes were terribly ripped. Something on fire fell right where they were, something very big. It fell over, but I didn't see them after that. It didn't look like it fell on them, but near them. But the thing was so big it was taller than them while on its side. They probably ran away to be safe. Even as I told myself this, I started to cry, too.

"PRINCESS MIKU IS MISSING! SHE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!"

Both me and my sister continued to cry in the middle of the prairie. Everything around us was being destroyed. We wanted it to stop. But, what are 6-year-old twins supposed to do?

Everything continued to burn. We started to hear less and less voices by the minute.

"LEN! RIN! GET OUT OF HERE!"

We both opened our eyes and saw Uncle Kiyoteru. He grabbed both of our hands and pulled us away. We kept running, our tears trailing behind us. We ran for a really long time. When we finally were far away enough that we could only see a small puff of gray in the sky from a distance, we stopped.

"Are you two alright?" he asked us. We both nodded our heads.

"Uncle, what happened?" Rin asked. Uncle Kiyoteru bent down so that he was at our eye level. He placed one of his hands on my right shoulder, the other on Rin's left shoulder.

"A very bad man did very bad things. You two can't go back to your home. It's too dangerous. You two were out in the open. You two are lucky I found you when I did."

"What's the bad man's name?" my sister asked.

"You don't need to know that."

"But I wanna know!" she fought. Uncle let out a heavy sigh before he answered.

"His name is Kaito. He is a very, very bad man."

"Uncle, when can we go back home with mom and dad?" I asked. I thought it might not be a good thing to ask, but I really wanted to go home. I wanted to eat Mom's homemade soup for dinner and have Dad put me on his shoulders. I liked being tall. I didn't like being away from home.

"Len, I don't know if you can ever go back home. You saw what it was like."

I started to cry again, and Rin did, too. We both cried. We both wanted to go home. But we both didn't realize why we couldn't.

"But, you two get to live with me now. We'll have lots of fun. We'll play games and I'll teach you things."

"What kind of things?" I asked between sobs.

"Lots of different things. Stop crying, you're both okay."

"I wanna go home!" Rin cried.

"But we can't, Rin. The bad man might get us. Uncle says we'll have fun. Let's live here."

"I want Mom and Dad." my sister said quietly.

"I do, too. But we need to live here!"

"I don't wanna!"

"Rin, we have to. Uncle's fun. You like Uncle, he's nice to us. He'll take care of us."

"You promise?" she asked me.

"I promise," I replied. I held out my pinky finger and my twin wrapped hers around mine.

~11 Years Later~

I was woken up by the sun deciding to blind me in my sleep. I heard Rin in the next room mumbling some weird chant or spell or something. I lay under the covers, still tired, but definitely wide awake. From the next room, I heard a huge boom.

"Stop trying to blow up the house!" I screamed at her.

"You think this is easy? Shut up!" she screamed back.

"Maybe if you didn't suck so bad you wouldn't have to practice so much!"

"I'm better than you'll ever be!"

"Doubt it! Mumbling gibberish and pointing fingers isn't very hard!"

"You need a brain to be able to perform magic, dumbass! Like you'd ever know! Swinging around a sword isn't so hard!"

"It is if you're a girl!"

"So you defy nature?"

"You little bitch! Say that again and I'll cut your head off!" She was silent after that, but I heard movement. I pulled the blanket back over my head and shut my eyes, the sun was too bright. The blanket was suddenly pulled off me and cold water was thrown on top of me.

"What the hell?"

"Get up! It's after noon!" my sister spat.

"You bitch!"

"What'd you call me?"

"You heard me!"

"You're gonna pay!"

"Try me!"

She closed her eyes and began mumbling in her gibberish as I got up and lunged towards me. She opened them right before I touched her and she zapped me with a blue laser coming from her two fingers. I was pushed back against the wall of my bedroom and fell to the ground. I started to get back up when Uncle Kiyoteru came rushing through the door.

"What is going on in here?" we were both silent. "Can't you two get along? You were two peas in a pod as kids!"

"Like Miss No-tits over here will listen."

"I'm not flat-chested! And you started it!"

"Hey, I wasn't the one who almost blew up the house, AGAIN!"

"If you weren't such an annoyance I could concentrate better and not cause such explosions!"

"Enough! Both of you! Just stop! It's the same thing everyday! Nonstop bickering between you two! If you keep acting like this, all those years of training you will be useless!"

Rin walked out of the room and slammed her bedroom door shut. I slumped back down against the wall, crossing my arms. I turned my head and faced the window. Uncle Kiyoteru stayed in the doorway.

"Honestly, Len. What happened between you two? You two were basically bound at the hip. Now you can't stand each other. You two fight everyday and pick on each other. It's getting dangerous now that Rin's advancing in her magic as a mage, and you as a sword wielder. You might really slice her head off one day. Today she hit you with a beam! What made you two like this?"

To be honest, I didn't know. I remember always being with Rin. She was my best friend. I never got tired of spending time with her. I missed it. Even though she hates me more than she hates Kaito, and we all know how much she hates him, I don't hate her. I just want to be friends with her again. I miss my sister. Once we were about 14 or 15 we started fighting like this, and I can't even remember how it started. I just miss my sister. But I couldn't tell her or uncle, so I just said...

"It's not my fault I have such an irritable twin." Uncle sighed.

"Len, why can't you two just get along?"

"She blames me for everything! When she messes up a spell, she says it's my fault! Every little thing she does wrong has to be my fault!"

"I know it's hard for you to understand. I know you might feel less than Rin because of her intelligence, thus her being able to be a mage. But that doesn't mean you're not a clever boy, either. Being a mage takes serious concentration. If she doesn't have a clear mind and empty all other thoughts, something will go wrong. But you have the physical strength she lacks. Look at your muscles, boy! A sword as big as the one you have needs lots of muscle power to not just be held, but you to use it. You're one of the best sword wielders I've seen in my life, Len. While you have to train, your sister has to train as well. She trains differently then you, however. And you know how hard she is on herself."

I just sat silent. I knew Rin was training, but I had no idea it was so complicated. I thought my training was hard! I spend hours and hours building up strength to wield that sword. I had to be swift and careful. I got so fed up with all the things I had to do just to be where I am now. But Rin, her training is all mental. While I had to focus on a target, footwork, my precision, how I held my sword, how much force I was using, I could still have other things on my mind. Rin needs a totally clear mind to cast spells and all that other crap.

"Yeah, she is pretty hard on herself."

"Just try to be nicer. I see the way she watches you practice everyday. While she may be hiding it, she seems to admire your skill."

I just kept staring out the window. I blushed a little, but not enough for Uncle to notice. Rin admires my skill? My skill?Being a swordsman might not be as hard as a mage, but Rin seems more dedicated than I am. She locks herself up in her room everyday, she even skips dinner, to practice. I always leave food at her door for her to pick up, but she never eats all of it. I wasn't even that great of a swordsman. I still lack many key things to being great. Uncle tells me I'm great, but by what he taught me, I know I'm not. If anything, I should be admiring Rin.

We heard Rin open her door. We both turned to see where she was going. She ignored us and headed down the hallway, her figure being a blurred figure of blonde hair, and her red dress with light purple sleeves. Was is she up to? I got up and followed her. She must've heard my footsteps, because as soon as I caught up to her she turned around.

"Why are you following me? Did you set up a prank to get back at me?"

"Like you're worthy of a prank." She punched me in my gut, leaving a red spot on my bare abdomen. My shirt stopped below my chest, so I was fully vulnerable.

"Look, I didn't come here to bash you out."

"Then why did you follow me?"

"Uncle said if we keep fighting all our training would be useless. What's the point of all those years if that happens? How are we going to stop Kaito?"

Rin was speechless. She hated even hearing the guy's name. After he destroyed our village, killed our parents and friends, and kidnapped our princess, we both loathed the guy. But I could carry on a conversation about the guy while Rin goes through a meltdown inside.

"What's your point?" she snapped at me.

"You know, I was gonna wait until our birthday, but whatever."

"What are you talking about?"

I went to the hall closet and pulled out a small box I wrapped. I wrapped it in red paper, since red's her favorite color. She wears it all the time. I threw the box at her and she caught it.

"Consider it a peace offering," I coldly said at her. I walked away angry. I was just listening to Uncle and she acts like a total bitch again. I hated our relationship being this way. I spent days making her present for our birthday, even though it was months away. I wasn't sure how much time I'd have or how long it's take, so I started as soon as the idea came to my mind. I made her a big hair clip that girls like. It's gold, and the shape a bit hard to describe. I made it's all wizard-looking since she is a mage. In the center, there's a blue orb. On the right of the blue orb, there's four leaf or feather-looking things surrounding it. On the left, there's a smaller orb with a sleigh-like pattern. Then there's a white beaded string coming from the middle. Took a while, but it looked pretty nice if I say so myself.

I walked up to Uncle and went in his face.

"Happy now? I was nice to her."

"Not as much as I hoped, but it's something."

I grunted in anger. I grabbed my sword from my room and went outside. I needed to let out some anger. I wasn't up even an hour and I already had more anger in me than I did last week. And last week was a shitty week. I set up targets for my aim and place marks for my footwork. I was clearing my mind and tried to focus on my practice. I lifted my right foot to charge and the scratched up target I set up when...

"Len!"

I lost my balance from my lack of focus and being on only one foot. I started to gain my balance by waving my arms around, my arm hitting Rin.

"Watch it! You almost sliced me!"

"Then don't surprise me like that while I'm practicing! What do you want anyway?" There I go again being a dick to my sister. I turned my back to her, putting my sword back in it's scabbard.

"I-I um...wanted to..."

"Spit it out!"

"I wanted to...thank you. For the present. I like it. A lot."

"Well that's good news. Took me a long time to make."

"You made it?"

"Yeah, I made it. And it was hell. I had to restart so many times because at first I had no idea what I was doing."

"You went to all that trouble for my birthday present?" she asked confused.

"Whether you like it or not you're my sister. I'm the only one who's allowed to do stuff like that. I'm not letting some guy do crap like that for you. I'm your brother; your twin. I have special permission."

"Why would you do that?"
"Like I just said, I'm your twin brother."

"But don't you hate me?"

"I never said that." Rin was silent. Looks like she's finding out the truth after all these years of fighting with her everyday. "Just because you hate me doesn't mean I have the same feelings. You of all people should know that." I felt her eyes stare at the back of me. She was deciphering, but I really don't understand why. I made it clear as day how I felt.

"So you don't hate me?" she asked.

"You may be a mage, but you aren't a very bright one if you're asking me that. I thought I made myself pretty clear. I don't hate you. I never did," I said. "The only thing I hate is how we drifted apart. I don't even remember why we started fighting."

"I remember. It was my fault. We were teasing each other like how we did as kids, but I started getting really mad at the things you said. I can't remember what they were, but I hated that you said them. I stayed mad at you, but you never noticed. So I started being really mean, and got you pissed off. Then, we just kept fighting."

"Did you just admit something was your fault?" I asked, turning around. Rin nodded. I felt a smile grow on my face. "I guess my peace offering did a pretty good job."

"Yeah, I guess it did." Rin smiled. She started back into the house, going back to practice her spells. I took my sword out from its scabbard, and lunged forward, holding it out in front of me at a 45 degree angle.

"Len," Rin started as she reached the door.

"Hm?"

"I don't hate you, either." She slipped through the door. I just smiled and jumped at my target. I sliced it cleanly, landing perfectly on my footwork place holder.
