~*Magical Mirror*~

A sigh echoed in the attic. The room was quite tiny and cramped from all the old boxes, with abandoned items, stored in it. No one ever visited the place ever since the owners from before disappeared in a sudden accident during the war in their country. Just one girl, the daughter of the owners, was left alone in the house. The only room she ever stayed in was the attic. She just waited there ever since her parents left to go and pick her brother up, but never returned.

She was lonely ever since. One thing about her was that she had a sickness. Her feet were just weak. They aren't strong enough to help her walk or stand up. The only thing she could do was look around the messy attic and find the items that would bring her memories back to the times she was happy when her family was still alive. The news struck her when her neighbours came into move the items into the attic.

Her name was Rin Kagene. She would have to stay in the house for she can't move her feet. Her neighbours would bring her food up the attic and leave it there for her to eat, since they knew about her disability. Probably it was just pity that they even mind visiting her. Whenever they try to start a conversation with her, she would just continue staring into the mirror with a blank face as if she was in another world. She hadn't spoken or even smiled ever since the day her family disappeared.

An old, worn mirror was the only thing she would look at to forget the happy moments she had with her family and erase the thought that they will never return. She would study her features: her blonde hair which had two, black clips holding her hair up in the left; her now dull, crystal blue eyes filled with loneliness; the black dress she has worn for so long that had a white ribbon tied around the waist of the black attire. The dress covered her neck with a white fabric and the black sleeves would cover her arms. Her legs were covered underneath her dress while she sat down and only her face would be the only part of her being that doesn't have any fabric covering it.

Everything would just repeat every day, until one day, a whole new magical event occurred in the attic changing her life.

Rin's POV

I just continued staring into that same mirror I had been looking at all this time. The neighbours had visited me once again, but I didn't mind having company. They would bring food and then leave me or either try to make me smile and talk again, but I just feel like I'm no longer part of the world I used to be in with my family.

I looked down at my lap and sighed once again. I always wonder why I was left to continue living. My parents and my brother would make me happy even if I wasn't able to walk. They would carry me on their back just so I could see the view outside. I love them so much, yet they had to disappear. Why hadn't I been able to join them? I can't understand.

Looking back up at the mirror, my reflection just shocked me. Instead of the lonely girl who would just stare back at me with those dull, empty eyes, as I usually saw, I saw a boy who was standing in front of me at the other side of the mirror. He was quite young and around my age. His hair was the same colour as mine, with messy bangs and at the back was a petite ponytail. The eyes that I thought would be as lonely as mine is, was a deep blue shade and was filled with joy and happiness. He wore a black cape around a navy top a prince would wear and matching pants.

I just kept staring into the emotions that filled his eyes that mine was had, until he broke the silence that had formed in the beginning.

"Hi!" he simply called while a gentle smile formed on his face.

I just sat there feeling a bit shocked. This must be just an illusion. If I rub my eyes, perhaps he will disappear, so I did. When I look back at the mirror, he was still there, but this time he was sitting down still looking at me with those same eyes filled with such kindness.

"Wh-Who are you?" I asked with the voice I thought I would never hear anymore.

He laughed a smile that was identical to the one I used to smile before and simply answered, "I'm a magician who will grant all your wishes. Just call me and I will grant it"

"H-How do I call you? I don't know your name…" I asked.

His expression slightly changed to a sad one and answered, "I don't have a name…"

I never knew that someone can't be given a name. I would have asked him why, but it appears he apparently doesn't want to explain.

Just at that moment, it seemed like a light bulb lit on top of my head.

"I-I'll call you Len. Len Kagamine, since it appears I'm at the right side and you're at the left side of the mirror", I stated.

Len's face seemed to lighten up when I gave him a name. I guess he likes the name Len and I actually do like that name I chose as well.

A smile appeared on my face that I thought wouldn't ever appear again like the way I thought I would never hear the sound of my voice once more.

"You smiled!" Len pointed out, "You should smile more often from now on!"

That lightened up my mood. Who knew that a magician at the other side of the mirror would have changed the way I was living. I felt like I could trust him.

My days started to change after that day. It seemed that fate decided to turn my life around to the days I was once happy, but this time with someone inside a mirror.

I dragged myself closer to the mirror and rested my back on it. The neighbours' only visit once a day, so it didn't seem risky at all for Len to appear. At the corner of my eye, I saw Len mirror the same thing I done and rested his back on the other side of the mirror. It felt like he was actually there from the warmth I felt on my back.

Out of the blue, Len suddenly said, "Would it be alright to call you my first 'friend'?"

At the sound of friend, my eyes widened and I turned around to face him. I hadn't had a friend ever since I was left alone. Yes, the neighbours' children who are around my age would try to make me open up and become my friend, but I mostly just ignore their presence. Even if they told me their secrets, I would remain quiet like there was a wall between us as if I couldn't hear a word they say.

Why does it feel like I want to be his friend as well? Was it because it appears he is as lonely as I am that he understands me?

I reached my hand out and placed it on the cold surface of the mirror, as if I was reaching out to him. Would he disappear from my life as well, like my loved ones did?

I watched as he placed his hand on the same area I placed mine and it felt like there was a magical presence saying to me that a wish has been granted. So, I finally have a friend again? All the people I have loved disappeared. Probably he might disappear as well, so I should treasure the times I'm around him, then.

All of a sudden, I felt a warm hand wrap itself around mine. I looked at my hands that were interlocking with another person's hand. The voice of the owner's hand who had granted my wish to be lonely no more rang in my ears. The hand felt so warm. It was so long since I felt the warm, caring presence of someone who loved me wrapping their hands around mine. Tears suddenly started to spill from my eyes, thinking how much I miss the ones who I loved so much.

I wanted him to hold my hand forever. The feeling of being lonely once again just hurts me to even think about it. Now I know that I don't want him to ever leave. I've been waiting for that someone who would place their gentle hands on mine, showing that they care about me.

Len granted me all my wishes. He healed my sickness that I had for so long, that I can't remember that day I lost the ability to walk once again. I asked for the war that had been happening in the country I once lived in with my grandparents to end, and he granted it.

We would laugh whenever we were able to see each other once again. I would talk about my life and he would reply with that identical smile I have. Those times I would dream of the happiness my family had given me that I lost, was replaced by his magic.

He granted my childish dream of a wonderful castle and I was the princess of it. I still remember them from long ago when I was still young dreaming about ponies and princesses. I thought those were just fairytales, but Len turned it into reality.

He gave me the happiness that I once lost and replaced them with my dreams I have so longed to become real. Even if he granted me all my dreams, I still feel like there's still something missing. Just something he can do that no one can grant.

I raised my hand to the mirror and he held it. I wish for him to hold it forever. His hands were the hands that showed me that someone still cared about me and would be there for me, but what would happen if I lost him? Then, I guess I would return to myself from before.

Still, I wish for him to stay by my side forever, even if he is at the other side of a mirror. I wish that he can come to this side of the mirror and be by my side forever. Though, that is impossible, so just say my name and I'll be happy once again.

Those days had to disappear, though. The spell was fading and the magic is ending.

"Rin, I must leave now", Len suddenly said to me.

My tears started to return, "Len, please don't leave!"

I felt that all the things Len was saying similar to my parents, but I didn't care. The only thing I wanted was for Len to stay by my side forever.

"I'm sorry, but the spell is fading and I can no longer stay", he said with a sad smile, "I must say goodbye".

"Don't say that!" I yelled.

His image in the mirror started to disappear from my view. My tears felt like a never ending waterfall.

"So please, don't cry, Rin", he softly said.

I buried my face in my hands, "So, don't leave me alone, please!"

"I'm sorry, but we were never meant to meet in this universe. I'm just returning the things you have given me", he replied, "I won't ever forget your smiles and your tears"

He pointed at me, "So, don't forget me either, my dear Rin. Promise me that"

I cried after the image of Len shattered in front of me. I wish Len could have stayed with me forever, or even just a bit longer. My clothes remained the same, but I had ashes on my skin. I didn't care, the only things I thought about was that Len left and that these tears won't stop even when I tried.

I just want to be by your side once again, even if there's no magic in it. I just wish to be able to see you once again. Just, once please come see me once again!

I looked at the mirror once more, seeing that my reflection is the only one I can see. I shed one last tear and vowed that I would continue to wait and I'll continue to polish this old worn mirror.

Even when I grow older, I promise to continue waiting for you. Just please return once again.

A/N: Updated once again!
The idea of doing this story kept running through my mind last night! I just had to do something to get it down as soon as possible!
I can't believe this was the first time I ever cried while typing up a story! ;o;
