Summary: Rei's only ambition in life was to protect Rui and accumulate a fan-base big enough to defeat the boy he was based off, Len. When he does accomplish the latter, the sudden prospect idea of defeating the cyan haired Diva becomes an obsession. Even if Rei does love Miku. SOLID Rei x Miku
I know, I know, should update my Len x Miku fanfics. But I got bored. School was good today. I don't give a damn if this doesn't scrape even one review, what matters is Miku. Yes, my obsession is in an all time high right now.

The stage was small, the size of a pool-table. A mic was shared in between the two and they had to lean in close just to capture both their voices. The audience was strangely silent, their interest affixed on something (or someone) seated to the far back. As much as Rei prided in his sharp vision, not even his keen eyes could trace the figure clad in black.
"Our fans don't love us," Rui murmured.
Rei grabbed her hand and forced a grin. "Of course they do. We just have to keep singing!"
"What song should we sing next?"
"M-Magnet."
Rei's eyebrows were knitted in deep concentration as Rui suppressed the rising blush coloring her normal porcelain complexion. Miku watched with interest, her cobalt eyes unreadable. Beside her, Luka with arms crossed over her well-developed chest huffed.
"They won't sing it as good as us," said Luka. "They lack harmonization."
Miku's head was propped with one hand, the other twiddling with a strand of her teal hair. "Rui's high voice is more suited with Pitchloid Nigaito then her brother's."
"Mirror-image," Luka corrected.
"Twins," Miku answered.
Both women sighed at the other's stupidity. Beside them, Kaito arched an eyebrow. Zeito was seated next to him, Zatsune clinging to his arm affectionately. Mikuo Zatsune growled when Zeito shifted his position, causing Zatsune to mewl in surprise.
On stage, Rei uttered Butterfly in a deep moan.
The female population snapped their heads to the stage and a few whistled.
"Well doesn't he sound quite mature," Miku sang. Luka rolled her eyes. "Len obviously sounds better, or have you forgotten that Rei Kagene was based off him." Miku cocked her head, opening her mouth before closing it.
"Don't be like that Luka," Kaito soothed. "C'mon, my girlfriend's getting pretty pissed."
Luka and Miku flinched, both eyeing him with a lack of respect.
"I'm not your girlfriend," Miku rumbled.
"She's not," Luka grabbed the beer bottle from the table and took a swig. Drips rolled off her chin lazily, sodding the collar of her black blouse. But did she care? No. The pinkette was already stumbling drunk, unsurprisingly. "I want to be your girlfriend!" she exclaimed, her voice dripping with a sudden veil of enthusiasm. "Do you remember our cover of Romeo and Cinderella? Kaito. You were so hot."
"Oh Luka!" Kaito said. "Don't be like that. Look, your shirt's getting wet."
Both Zatsunes' snorted.
Zeito remained silent.
Miku watched the awkwardly singing twins on the stage, trying their best to attract more attention with un-timed moans and squeals. Rei Kagene was doing a good job, Miku noted, however, Rui was lacking the edge and grip his voice possessed. If she were to just leap out of the picture, then . . .
Realization locked in Miku's brain and she grinned a sly grin.
"Kaito, if you really loved me-"
His eyes flickered with a faint glint of hope.
"You'd do anything for me no matter what, right?"
"Of course!" He leaped out his seat, throwing Luka to the floor. "For you Miku, I'd do anything."
"Then I want you to help me with a project I'm conducting."
Rei's felt his world spiral out of control. His sweet and innocent Rui was being courted. Courted. Rui was too young for that! He opened his mouth to let the familiar words (catchphrase as some people would put it) of "Don't touch Rui!" spew out before a bundle of blond sent him reeling to the floor.
Len looked down at him, literally, with a smirk plastered on his sweet face. Aqua eyes twinkling with mirth, he jollily exclaimed, "Rei!"
"Hello, Len," Rei spat. Getting up and brushing the dust off his shirt, he mustered a glare. Being near Len gave him shivers. It wasn't that Rei hated Len, no, he was based off him for God's sake!
"Hey Reirei, isn't Ruru leaving with Zeito? Aww man, Zatsune will so be jealous when she finds out. No wrath like a woman scorned, aye?" Len attempted to fiddle with Rei's hair.
How dare that man touch Rui! He slapped Len's hand away and stomped after the pair, but before that he had to get one thing straight with the blond boy. "Don't call me Reirei, and don't you dare go nick-naming Rui! She's my sister and I'm the only one that gets to say those things to her!"
He stomped off again, eyes deadlocked straight and mind forging up grotesque torture ideas. He would scold Rui for this later on! Going off with an already taken man was a sin! Not to mention that fact that Miku Zatsune would kill his sweet and innocent sister! Then her brother, Mikuo Zatsune, would revive her from the dead and inflict just as much pain.
Were the Miku spin-offs always so tipsy in the head?
Kiku was a yandere, the Zatsune siblings were malicious and Yowane was a drunkard NEET.
But . . . What was Miku like?
Rei stopped in his tracks to ponder over the question. What exactly was the highly esteemed Hatsune like? What was she doing now? Her fans continuously screamed her name wherever they went, and some even dreamed of marrying her.
If he were to become popular, would his life mirror hers?
"Gotta' focus on Rui!" he scolded. "What if she's being forced against her will? Tied down, stuffed into a duffel bag and forced into slavery? She needs me right now!" His incoherent ramblings and suggestive demeanor made everyone part, even if they so badly wanted to stop him for a picture or a kiss or a lock of hair.
They knew better then to get in between Rei and Rui.
And that was the reason why people paired them up. Because all forms of incest is hot.
With his mind lost in the clouds, Rei had bumped into a stranger clad in thick clothing, donning a large sunglasses and an orange afro with an ahoge bouncing cheerily.
"Watch where you're going!" he shrieked. The worry was starting to creep in his gut. Where was Rui? Damn! If only he had been paying attention instead off building castles in the air.
"Well that's rude!" unnatural and muffled by his – Rei assumed it was a man anyway, with the proper body proportions and broad shoulder - thick teal scarf. "I deserve an apology. You were the one swaying from left to right like a drunkard. You may be just as bad as my cousin."
Then Rei felt the eyes behind the thick glass size him.
"Aren't you too young to go drinking, boy?"
What nerve this man had! To accuse him of such treachery! He jabbed a finger to the Man's chest, or whatever was behind those thick coats and shirts. "I'm not drunk! Besides, I'm not young, I'm fourteen!" He said it with such puzzah that the man in front of him snorted. Rei ignored the burst and continued. "My sister, Rui Kagene, is out there needing my help! I'm the only one who can help her escape from Zeito Shion's lecherous gaze and hormonal raged mind!"
Instead of stepping out of his way with a salute, hand clutched to his chest and face contracting in passion at Rei's bravery, the man snorted again with mirth. "I believe you, but I doubt your view on Zeito is one-hundred percent correct. Although, I wouldn't hurry, Zatsune won't be back until tomorrow."
"And how do you know that?" he seethed.
The man paused before replying with uncertainty. "I'm another fan-made, a failed male Miku derivative. Just like how you're a rip-off of Len."
"I'm not a fan-made! I am Rei Kagene!"
"I like your spunk."
"Well I don't like you standing in my path."
"Then go around me," he said it in a 'duh' tone.
Rei's insides raged with fire. "Why don't you just move?"
"Or maybe I'll just continue walking while you my Dear changed color-scheme rip-off of Len and Rin Kagamine conjoined can just walk around me and be off on your way."
That did it! A cord somewhere inside Rei snapped and he lunged for the man with ferocity, forgetting of the quest he was previously embarking on. "Go to hell!" he parroted.
They were then sent reeling to the floor. To his relief, instead of feeling the hit and pain of flash against flesh, he was awarded a soft cushion thanks to the amount of clothing. But the single flaw was the fact that his fingers could not pierce the thick wool. He wanted nothing more than to rake his nails down the man's throat and scream, "Take that!"
How dare he insult him? He was proud of his design, avatar, voice, color, and, and- and-
And suddenly a strong pair of hands grasped Rei's shoulders. Being yanked back in sudden force by Zeito, the man he was supposed to murder for touching Rui, was humiliating. And to add oil to the fire, Rui was fighting his battle.
"How dare you touch Rei! My beloved brother is in pain because of you!" she screeched. With one arm holding Rei back, Zeito's normaly calm face contracted as he pulled the screaming and enraged Rui off.
Throwing the two out of the way, Zeito strode forward sullenly and helped the still ragged breathing man up. "You," Zeito snapped. "What are you doing here?"
"I was following Len." The muffled voice answered in immaturity.
Zeito growled from under his throat before coughing. "You thought that was Len?"
The stranger shook his head but then nodded in embarrassment. "I guess so."
Zeito rolled his eyes. "Rei, what are you doing here?"
Rei got up. "Protecting my sister from you!" He grasped Rui's hand and scowled. "Shouldn't you be on my side instead of protecting someone as repulsive as him?"
"Stop being such a yandere."
"Don't speak that way to my brother!" Rui said. "Come on Rei, we're going!" She turned tail and fled, never letting go of her brother's hand.
