As I walked down the hall past Kaito-sama's room, my ears were filled with a soft tune.
Opened the door as quietly as I could making sure not to disturb the person who was playing.
And I knew it wasn't Kaito because every time he touched a guitar he would break the strings.
But when I peered into the room through the slight crack, I received a major shock.
It was Kaito who was playing the guitar.
He played with so much grace it seemed like that wasn't the Kaito I knew.
But all of a sudden, two blue eyes stared directly at me.
"Sorry Kaito-nii chan. I didn't mean to disturb you."
I could feel a slight blush for on my cheeks, for what reason I did not know.
"Oh Len-san! You didn't disturb me. Actually you saved me."
Kaito rubbed one of his hands on the back of his head with a slight blush forming on his cheeks.
"And I saved you how?" I thankfully suppressed the blush from my cheeks unlike Kaito, who still had a pale crimson brushed onto his cheek .
"I played this same song over and over but I could never get the chord right when Miku said, 'daisuki'. "Oh so you're playing Miku's 'Love is War'?" he always had a great deal admiration of Miku.
"I think I can help you Kaito-nii chan. I've played the guitar before and how to play one was downloaded into my software!"
As I walked over to Kaito-sama, my heart started to race. It skipped beats. I walked behind Kaito-sama and put my hands on top of Kaito's own hands.
I felt him flinch when I touched him. "This is how you play the chord."
As I made Kaito-sama's hands strum the guitar, my heart skipped beats and raced faster and faster than I thought our hearts could.
"Thank you Len-san! I can't wait to show Miku how well I can play her song! I hope I can impress her."
"Oh…" I was at a loss for words. I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
"Is something wrong Len-san? All of a sudden you sighed."
Kaito was oblivious to why I sighed.
But I didn't want to worry of freak out Kaito-nii.
After all he thinks of me as his little brother what else would he think me of besides a minor.
"I am just tired. That's all. But can I ask one thing?"
"Sure Len. What is it?" My heart raced more and more.
I thought I might malfunction because of how fast my heart was racing.
"Do you like Miku-chan? I mean like like her?" His face went a hard crimson and just from that I knew his answer.
The answer I didn't want to hear.
"Yeah. I do. I like her a lot. She is always fun to be around except when she hit me with a leek."
Kaito rubbed the side of his face, remembering the horrid day that Miku swung at Gakupo but accidentally wacked Kaito-san in the face.
I couldn't help but laugh at the thought but it all stopped when Kaito repeated the same thing again.
"I really like Miku-san."
The color in my face flushed. Tear started to form in my eyes and as soon as I heard Kaito gasp, I knew he saw the tears fall down from my eyes.
"Len-san? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
~Silence~ "Len-san. Please answer me!" ~More silence~
"Len-san! Answer m-" "No! You idiot!" "Len-chan? What did I do wrong!"
"Forget it Kaito! Just forget it!"
"Len I can't understand what I di-"
"FORGET IT! I HATE YOU!" I stormed out of his room and into mine, slamming the door behind me. I locked the door and sat on my yellow bed in the dark.
Oh how the dark felt so right.
~Knock knock~
"Len-chan! Hurry off your gloomy butt and come out!"
I knew who that high-pitched voiced that belonged to.
"Why Rin!"
"Because Leon and Lola-chan are here baka!"
(For those who don't know who Leon and Lola are, they are the first Vocaloids originally supposed to sing in English have been used to perform Japanese songs as well. They are official Vocaloids.)
"Really? Cool! Be right down Rinny!" I loved those two so much!
They live in America with Gumi and the rest of our vast cousins around the USA, United Kingdom, Europe, and Asia. Big family right? "Lenny! I missed you so much! How you been lately?"
I could already tell who that was with tremendously strong hug.
"Lola! I think Len-kun got the idea." There was the ever so excited Leon. "Sorry Lenny-chan." "It's A-OK Lola. So how have you two been doing? And hit top wonder recordings lately or has it all been focused on you two as a couple?"
I said teasingly. That would always get their attention and make Lola town down her hyper attitude like Teto and bumped up Leon's 'I hate the world' attitude.
"U-umm. W-we've been f-fine L-lenny-kun."
"Well since you brought it up and all, we've been great! Our duets are a huge hit in the USA and in the United Kingdom." See. What I tell you.
"And our little flirting signals have also thrown up our ratings all over," Leon whispered to me.
I couldn't help but giggle a little bit. They were a cute pairing. They balance out each other quite nicely. Leon's 'I hate the world' attitude towns down Lola's 'OMAGOHHHDDD! I LOVE EVERYTHING' attitude.
We all sat around the pool a big table outside and enjoyed the weather while enjoying each other's company as well. Kaito-nii-chan hasn't come out since I yelled at him.
I wonder if he is going come out before Lola and Leon-chan leave.
Right as I thought that, Rin said "Has anyone seen Kaito-chan? Last time I saw him was early this morning." Wow it's really been that long since Kaito-nii-chan and I fought?
I felt guilty for yelling at him. He thinks of us as brothers. Of course he wouldn't think of us as anything more.
We are 6 years of age apart from each other. "H-hey Rin. I will go look for him. Kay?"
"Sure Lenny-chan! Tell us if you find him or not. If you don't, will help you find him."
As I got up from my spot in the beautiful sunlight and started walking towards the house I heard a horrid noise. I made sure not to alarm anyone but as soon as I was out of sight from the others, I ran right inside to see Kaito-nii-chan lying on the floor, passed out it seemed.
"Oh dear god! Kaito-nii-chan!" I ran to Kaito's side and listen to see if he was still breathing.
~Nothing~
"Please Kaito-nii! Please wake up!" There was one thing I could think of right then and there.
CPR. I put my lips to Kaito-chan's, who were surprisingly warm and soft. I did everything I could do.
As our lips met for the 6th time, I felt a slight tug on my shirt. Kaito's eyes fluttered open a couple times until he finally could see straight.
"L-l-Len-san?" Thank you for giving Kaito back to me!
'Me?' Kaito-chan wasn't mine. "Yeah Kaito-nii-chan. I am here. What do you need? Please tell me."
I was in such a state of panic at the time but I seemed to have calmed down because I wasn't stuttering anymore.
"I need you to answer this one question for me. Can you h-handle it?"
"Yes! Anything Kaito-nii-chan!"
"Why do you hate me?"
