Title: To the Crowds
Full Summary: Everyone thought we were twins, right? But we aren't. So if loving your "sibling" is bad, what are we supposed to do about this? You can't date your sibling, but you can date your mirror image…so how are we supposed to convince our entire fan base we aren't siblings…and how the hell are we supposed to solve these ridiculous arguments with ourselves first?
Couples: Rin/Len (main), Meiko/Kaito (subliminal), Miku/Mikuo (mentioning)
Chapter goal: 10+
Only Disclaimer: I'm not Japanese, and if you saw me on the streets you would never think of me even knowing Vocaloids – your average blonde probably would have never even heard of them. So...No owning of the most epic creation to hit my life since…something epic that hit my life before…
Warnings for this chapter: language and a violent Rin…
"Oh my god! Oh my god, oh-em-gee!" a random fan squealed and pulled Rin into a tackle. "You're that girl!"
The blonde pop star froze in confusion at the girl gripping her neck, clear blue eyes wide. She choked under the fan's grip, and waited for her to let go. Can a Vocaloid not shop in peace? This was the hundredth time somebody had all but jumped her in the past five minutes! Rin finally forced a smile on, pushing the random fan girl off, "Um...yes?"
"You're the girl with the flipping sexy shota of a brother, right? Rin!" the girl cooed, clapping excitedly for some reason. She calmed down at last, and Rin could speak.
"He's not actually my brother; I thought we established that..." Rin whispered rather lowly, too quiet for the fan to hear. She only nodded at the girl with a confused glance, and the girl squealed again in even more excitement.
The girl didn't stop her obsessive antics even after two minutes of odd and joyful noises emitting from her mouth. "So you agree you're own brother is sexy! Oh-em-gee! Twincest! Win-cest! I told everyone! Ha! Ha! Yes! Super-sexy-amazing twincest!"
People passing by started to stare suspiciously, fans that knew the "twins" started doing rather odd excited dances of sorts, a few grabbing at their cell phones to spread the news. The black haired girl that was squealing before Rin was jumping up in down in glee.
"Okay, girl, I was nodding because everyone called him that. I do not agree," Rin gripped the girl's shoulder, and a few people whispered suspiciously that the girl Kagamine "should not be treating her fans like that" when they saw her glaring gaze.
The girl's hazel eyes drooped, her head hung down slightly, "But I can still pretend, right?"
Rin scratched the back of her head, fishing for an answer. She didn't expect the girl to get so…upset over such an odd subject. "Um...sure...?"
God that was sickening, not only the thought of loving your sibling, but the fact people still thought they were siblings was also repulsive. Not to mention the fact quite a few fans (the number doubling through the virtual world) thought she loved her "sibling". Rin needed to kill somebody right then, but she saved her tsundere antics for later.
The fan girl squealed, and with that, she ran away.
…Thankfully nobody else bothered Rin after that through her way back to the Vocaloid manor.
Rin inserted the password to open up the gate, and looking around before entering, and jogging up the driveway quickly, her three grocery bags banging against the side of her lower thigh, she flung open the mansion's front doors unwillingly.
She plopped down into a barstool in the kitchen, dropping the bags on the counter at the bar. "Here."
Luka looked at the girl from her standing position over the sink, where she had been washing up an apple for hopefully a dessert they were going to eat that day. The salmon-haired woman smiled at the younger teen, "Thank you Rin-chan!"
Rin forced a smile, and Miku walked in. Her teal twin-tails flew behind her as the excited eighteen-year-old jumped over to the counter, grinning widely. "Finally you're back! Did you get my negi?"
Rin nodded in response, pointing at one bag.
"My tuna?" Luka spoke with a side-grin, and Rin poked at the other bag, even though she knew Luka was joking Rin had assumed she should've bought some for the pink woman.
"Kaito's ice cream?" Miku asked for the blue-haired man, who was probably playing video games against Len or Piko at that moment. When Rin nodded, Miku spoke up for the other green girl then, "What about Gumi's carrots?"
Rin banged her head on the counter. "I'm so sorry! I was all but attacked and crap in the frigging grocery store! Then on the way out I got 'glomped'! I couldn't remember everything!"
"Er...Rin-chan, are you okay? The whole fan-thing is normal, and you know it...so what really happened?" Miku pressed on, and Rin stood up, grasping an orange from inside one of the bags, and strode off to the doorway, where the blonde froze.
"Miku-nee, Luka-nee-san if you hear ANYTHING about this 'twincest' thing, it's wrong, and feel free to pummel whomever tells you…for me!" and with that, the blonde girl was gone.
Luka and Miku exchanged a glance, and Miku spoke up with an eyebrow raised, "What the hell is a 'twincest'?"
Rin scowled at herself as she walked down the hall to the stairway, which she walked up to get to her bedroom to be alone for the rest of the afternoon.
The next morning was hell for Rin. By the time she was awake, the newspaper had already been delivered and the local news channel was buzzing with the new rumor of "Rin/Len".
And it sucked ass.
Rin was not aware of this when she woke up, having forgotten the day before events. She was actually grinning when she entered the kitchen, where many of the other Vocaloid family members were already gathered around a paper of sorts at the table, some hovering above and some sitting at the large breakfast table. Cheerily she asked, "What's up guys?"
Piko, Teto, Sonika, and Miku looked up; the others stayed reading the paper. The blue-haired Kaito spoke, but without looking at the blonde, a smirk playing on his lips, "Oh, how I can't wait for Len to wake up..."
"What?" Rin craned her neck to see what they were reading, but to no avail, as many green, purple, blue, teal, yellow, salmon, brown, black, and grey heads blocked her view of the paper. Rin wondered how the hell her extremely large, adoptive family could all see what they were looking at, suspicious on what exactly they were reading.
"So this is what you mean by twincest...?" Miku's teal eyes questioned, and Rin's heart stopped.
"What do you mean?" Rin cocked her head to the side, and she tackled Gakupo, jumping onto the tallest man's back to rip the paper out from the middle of them all.
Thank goodness she was rather short for age – sixteen years and hadn't grown an inch in months. Gakupo all but toppled over, "What the - ?"
Rin yanked the papers out from the middle of the group and jumped down, ignoring the Vocaloid's stares. The headline made her mind shut off for a moment, "FEMALE KAGAMINE DECLARES LOVE FOR HER TWIN". Rin crumpled up the newspaper when she came back to her senses, and threw it on the ground to trample it, jumping on it forcefully. "IT'S ALL LIES!"
Everybody just stared and watched the girl slowly destroy the newsprint. And of course, this had to be the exact moment Len walked in with an eyebrow raised in worry, "Guys...why is Rin-chan torturing a piece of paper...?"
Rin's eye twitched in annoyance, and she kicked the written report aside, and gripped the sides of her head tightly, "SOME RETARDED-ASS FAN FUCKING TWISTED MY WORDS! I SWEAR! WE AREN'T EVEN RELATED AND YOU KNOW THAT!"
She stormed out, and the other Vocaloids just sat around in shock over her rather odd actions…minus Len, who was just standing around, confused.
"She has a rather colorful vocabulary, does she not?" Gakupo rhetorically asked with a smirk, causing Luka to hit the side of his head. The purple-haired man cursed under his breath, rubbing the place he was slapped tenderly.
"So what was she so upset over...?" Len asked as they heard a crashing of probably a vase coming from the hallway. After the crashing, excessive banging followed, and many Vocaloids just looked at the doorway in shock.
Nobody answered – being too confused to respond, so Len just knelt down to grab the paper…before he was tackled to the side by Teto. "NO, I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD READ THIS!"
Len's eye twitched from under the cherry-colored girl, who had him held down by her right arm and was waving the paper in the air. Len looked around to see if anybody didn't agree with Teto, "Um...?"
"And I also think its best that we block all news channels on all of our televisions. Len shouldn't be leaving this house, and somebody has to stop Rin's rampage from destroying this place," the girl above him blatantly stated, appearing calm for such a normally hyper person. Luka walked off to do the latter of what Teto had requested; oddly the younger girl was correct on what the Vocaloids should be doing about the issue.
"So...um what happened...?" Len asked as Teto got up with the newspaper. He brushed his new clothes for the day off, and every other Vocaloid scattered to do anything that did not require their presence in the room. Nobody was going to help the teen.
Kaito was the only one who stayed behind, and he helped the younger boy up, reaching a hand out. "All I can say is, Len, you are screwed."
Kaito walked off at that time, leaving a rather puzzled Len behind.
'As if my day can't get any worse...' Rin grumbled internally, kicking a lone rock out of her path. She was in a rather abandoned part of a huge neighborhood a mile from her house, enjoying the solitude. But now she was lost without a cell phone and the day's chances of a positive outcome was slowly declining.
She found her way back to a populated area, much to her dismay it was part of the central city, she had left the outskirts and was back in the heart of the city. Rin frowned at this, and wished she had brought a jacket with a hood instead of just a coat, she couldn't be hidden this time - hardly any people here had such brightly colored hair! She'd stick out like a sore thumb, most definitely! Thankfully her bow was not on her head at this time of morning, she'd be even more so recognized if she wore it. Rin groaned, and was about to turn around to hurry back to her house, but at that moment, somebody recognized her.
"Kagamine-san! Wait up!" a reporter from the middle of the crowd shouted out, and Rin turned around, to her dismay she saw the man with a notepad.
Rin should've run at that moment, but she wanted to tell somebody she and Len weren't siblings, nor did she love him!
…Or did she? Rin's eyes widened at that moment, and as she waited for the reporter to push his way through the crowd, Rin realized that she might actually love Len. And the more she denied that thought, the more she pushed herself to believing that she was in love with her mirror image.
Shit.
So this is my first Vocaloid fan fiction to upload…about time. I've been obsessing over Vocaloids since March, maybe earlier…Anyway, I found it fitting to submit it the day of the concert in Los Angeles…the one that I'm still grumbling on how I didn't get to go to… :|
I already have all the way to half of the sixth chapter typed up, so depending on the feedback I get I'll update soon. I don't have too high of expectations for this, so anywhere between two to five reviews can motivate me to update.
…that was a hint to press the button below if you liked it. ;)
