Chapter 1. The Blonde Quartet

Rin's POV

"Rin-sama, are you sure you can handle studying while leading our family?" my personal maid and confidant, Hatsune Miku, asked me as she prepared my bed for sleep.

"I would like to try living a normal life as a girl. I can't stay like this, always dressing as a boy. I'll lead our family during the night. I can handle." I assured her.

Yes, I, Rin Kagamine, a 16 year old girl, am dressing as a boy. My parents' deaths led me to lead the Kagamine family, which is a big mafia group, in an early age. In order to do so, I must become a man so that other families would not look down on our family.

"You shouldn't stress yourself by being Rinta Kagamine. It was alright being a female boss, but you still insist. You're such a beauty; it's a waste turning you into a boy." Miku said. She's someone I can show my feminine side to. And she's really thinking that I am putting my looks into waste.

"They wouldn't respect a cute mafia boss, wouldn't they?" I said and chuckled. "Kidding. It's alright Miku-nee. I'm going to be alright. At least in school, I can live up to my name Rin."

"Be careful, Rin-sama. We couldn't afford getting you hurt. And I would worry very much, you are a girl." she said worriedly. She's a mother-slash-sister figure to me since I got orphaned.

"Yes, Miku-nee. I'll rest now. Good night." I said and smiled before I fell to sleep.

"Good night, Rin-sama."

First day of classes…

"Rin-sama, take care okay? Oh, by the way, this just got in our sources." Miku said when I was about to leave.

"What is that about, Miku-nee?" I asked with curiosity.

"The Hagane Family learned about you going to a commoner school. They are our rivals, and they are desperate to get the Kagamine out of the position. They might look for you, Rin-sama. Please take extra care, they might abduct you." Miku explained full of worry in her tone.

"Don't worry; they know me as Rinta Kagamine. They haven't seen Rin. I suppose it would be okay, but I need to be careful just in case. Thanks for the info, Miku-nee. I'll leave now. Bye!" I said and started to leave.

"Take care, Rin-sama!"

At school…

So this is Crypton University, huh? This would be exciting!

I missed wearing skirts! I haven't been wearing these for a long time. Because of discomfort because I'm not used to it, I wear shorts under my skirt. My uniform is all black, long sleeved, my sailor collar with yellow accent and a yellow ribbon tied to the middle. I wore black socks reaching below my knees and the usual school shoes. My blonde hair now flows down to my shoulders, which were always tied up in a very small ponytail whenever I dress as Rinta. I wore my white hair clips to my bangs, which I haven't done in a long time. I wore black-rimmed glasses so that I wouldn't be recognized.

I entered the classroom and went to the left side of the third row where there are less people. Unfortunately I didn't get the seat next to the window because there was a bag in the seat. So I sat in the chair behind it, in the fourth row.

I sat there quietly as I was not used to the people around. It seemed like they knew each other already.

I was startled when a blonde approached me.

"Hi. New here right?" the girl said. Wow, we look... alike. The difference was she had her front bangs and hair messed up, but beautifully, and she had long hair in a ponytail.

"Umm, yes." I said and smiled awkwardly. Who might she be?

"I'm Lenka Kagene. Nice to meet you." she said and smiled. Whoa, pretty!

"Rin Kagamine. Nice meeting you." I said back and smiled.

"Oh, so you're Rin-chan! You're cute!" she said and I blushed. First, I wasn't used to getting called Rin. Second, she called me cute. Cute? A mafia boss? Seriously? Well, she doesn't know anyways.

"Hey, hey, can you take off your glasses for a second? You remind me of someone." she asked all of a sudden. I just nodded and took off my glasses, since there wasn't a difference in my vision when I wear them or not.

"Oi! Len-saaaaan!" Lenka called out. Who could that be?

I was shocked when the person, a boy, called Len came to the classroom.

We look exactly alike. He looks like Rinta. Yes, we look very alike when I am Rinta Kagamine.

"Look, Len-san! We all look alike!" said Lenka.

"Lenka-san, she's new. Don't startle her all of a sudden." Len said.

"It's fine. I was looking for someone to talk to anyways." I said. "But we're surprisingly alike. Cool." I smiled lightly.

Len's POV

She smiled at me lightly. She is... cute. I feel like I've seen her already in the past. I shook off my thoughts and returned to her.

"My name's Len Akita. Yours?"

"Rin Kagamine. Nice meeting you Len-kun.", she said formally and reached out her hand. I slightly blushed and shook hands with her.

"So, I guess you got us as your friends now, ne, Rin-chan? We're the blonde trio now." Lenka said and chuckled.

She laughed and smiled happily. "Yes, please take care of me."

That smile. It was the most attractive smile I have seen so far.

Lenka's POV

The homeroom teacher introduced himself as Shion Kaito. He's surprisingly young for a teacher. He introduced Rin-chan as our new classmate, and then interrupted the class in an announcement.

"We have another new student today. Please come in and introduce yourself." Kaito-sensei announced.

A young boy entered the classroom. Surprisingly, he's another blonde who looks like the three of us.

He wore hairclips the same as Rin-chan, and looked like her, though he is a boy. But rather than Rin-chan, we looked much more alike.

"It is very nice to meet you. I am Rinto Hagane.", he introduced. I saw Rin-chan, who was my seatmate, and her eyes had a surprised look. I saw her clench her fist, then she let it go.

Rinto sat in front of me, beside Len. Len stared off in a distance, as usual. I can't help but... think he is... handsome. Yes, he is. He looks like someone raised by a high-status family. But... Hagane? I think I've heard that before... Hmm...

Len's POV

This is surprising for a first day. From the Blonde Duo, we became the Blonde Quartet. Cool. But it's kind of disturbing. We unusually look alike.

After classes, I decided to go home. While I was walking, men in black suit suddenly blocked my way.

"We found you, Rinta Kagamine."

Kagamine... Rinta?
