Gemini

By: Orika

Summary: That encounter that was said to change my life forever literally, in the worst way possible. Many people started running after my life, wanting me dead or alive. Good thing, someone was warning me about it but why call me Gemini?

Orika: Hey guys, recently I've been addicted to Vocaloids Well, in any cases here is the prologue.

Oh and by the way just to make it clear this has no connection to the song Gemini. And just so you know I don't own Vocaloid, Utauloid and whatever loid that will be made out there.

Chapter 1

"You do understand what you are asking off…" A disembodied voice was saying.

"Yes, I understand everything." The blonde boy said looking at the distance that was nothing but total darkness.

"What you want is going to cost you your freedom." It asked. "To have a choice of your own."

"Freedom… I don't need something like that." The boy said full of determination. "As long as I can be by her side. I don't need anything else." The boy said.

There was a moment of silence then; "That person is very fortunate. Very well…" The disembodied voice said.

Suddenly a small orb of light appeared before the boy. It was the size of a plum.

"I will grant you your wish in compensation for your freedom. Your fate will be tied to that person. Becoming a shadow that follows forever." The disembodied voice said. "Take the orb into your being and it will be done. Think carefully, for there are things to which you can never go back."

The boy took the orb without any hesitation, put it in his mouth and swallowed. "Isn't that part of life? Things you want to go back to, but you can't because some things are not that easy." He said feeling the change within him.

'I'll do anything to protect you, even if it means becoming evil itself.'

(His POV)

Yamaha High the prestigious school for those who are searching for a bright future. Thus the students are either the elite or those that are granted scholarship.

"Hey shota!" I heard someone shouting from behind me. I looked as a blue haired boy came running trying to reach me who was a few meters away from him. I snorted and simply ignored him and went on walking towards the direction of the train station.

"Okay, okay… I'm sorry Len. No need to be so sensitive." The blue haired boy said as he finally caught up to me.

I clenched my fist and faced the blue haired boy. "Shut up, Kaito! How would you like it if I call you ice cream lover?!"

"Well, I do love ice cream…" Kaito said his fore finger and thumb holding his chin, his head tilted to the side a little, wondering what I was talking about.

'I forgot how simple-minded this guy is.' I thought shaking my head. "Forget I said anything." I said then yawning. God, I feel so sleepy. I would probably drop any minute.

"Slept late, again?" Kaito asked as we passed the entrance of the subway.

"Yeah…" I said as I took out my train card and ran it over the scanner. "Stupid math what do we need numbers for?" I muttered under my breath.

"You're not good at math are you?" Kaito asked as we waited for the train to arrive at the platform. "Well, we're not on scholarships anyway, so we don't have to worry about that."

"And are you good in math?" I asked back. I may not be good at the subject but at least I'm trying. I really do!

"Not in a genius level, of course, but at least I can pass it. And that is enough for me." Kaito said with pride. I envy his energy.

I rubbed the sleep of my eyes while saying; "Well, good for you. I guess you're not so simple-minded after all." Because of my drowsiness I didn't realize I was losing my balance and stepped back and bumped to someone in the process who was passing behind me.

"Ooppss… Sorry about-" I said but was cut off when I met eye to eye with the person.

It was a girl wearing an orange hooded shirt and green skirt and hot pink sneakers. There wasn't anything strange about that. But what awestruck me, was the fact of how much she resembles me. Her hair was a short blonde color like mine and the eyes the same sapphire color.

If I didn't know better I would've thought we were twins. But it wasn't likely since I knew that I'm an only child. But the girl looks like me when I wasn't tying my hair up in a ponytail and that wasn't all, for some reason the girl seems…

"Sorry…" The girl said, snapping me out of my reverie continuing on her way towards the upper direction of the platforms.

I kept on staring at the girl as our distance from each other grew wide. Something about her was so familiar; I couldn't put my finger on it. As if I'm having a sense of déjà vu? The girl looked back and our eyes meet again. Maybe she finds the similarity between us and was wondering too.

Out of nowhere Kaito suddenly poked a finger at my cheeks. "Hey, dude aren't you staring a bit too much. What's that look for?" He asked then making a smug like face as he continued; "Don't tell me that girl is you type?"

'The hell, pointing something so ridiculous like a kid, Kaito.' I thought my eye twitching at Kaito's childish behavior. 'And you're supposed to be a year older than me… But you act like an elementary.'

I grabbed my friend's hand putting it down. "You can be a bit of a child sometimes."

Kaito was about to make a comeback when the sound of the train arriving was heard. I looked at the direction of the sound.

"The train's coming. I hope it's not packed." Kaito said with a hopeful tone.

I looked back at the girl but she was gone already. Probably boarded the train car ahead of us.

'What is that sense of deja vu that I felt?' I thought as I follow Kaito boarding the train.

(At the school entrance)

I was putting away my shoes, still thinking of my… weird encounter this morning.

"Hey Kaito…" I called to Kaito who was just at the other side of the shoe locker.

"What?" Kaito asked in an annoyed tone his probably having trouble putting on his slipper shoes.

(A/N: I have no idea what they actually call those shoes. Someone tell me if they know.)

"That girl at the station…" I started but before I could continue I could hear Kaito chuckling.

"Awww, has Len fallen in-love at first sight?" Kaito teased.

"Screw you… I don't believe in such things." I said pouting. Well, it is absurd, I do believe that people could fall in lust at the first time. But love… doesn't that take some time? "Anyway as I was saying…"

"Before I interrupted your realization of being love at first sight?" Kaito couldn't help but inject. He loves teasing me probably because I take the bait so easily. I sighed maybe I'm the simple minded one.

"Morning Kagamine!" A group of girls passed me by waving at me and some blowing kisses at me even…

This is the thing about being a sensational pop star not to mention belonging to one of the most influential family in the country. Everyone notices me, guys like to be friends with me, and girls try to catch my attention. But I know they only see me as that figure but never as me.

"Ne… What's this about love at first sight?" One of the girls asked.

"Does that mean you have a girlfriend now?!" Another said in alarm.

"Nope, no not at all… You girls know Kaito, he likes playing jokes." I said cutting whatever gossip they might think of spreading off the bud. Another thing about being popular is that one wrong act and it's the media frenzy.

The girls gave a collective sigh of relief and slowly started walking away. But I could still hear some of them whispering.

"That's a relief…"

"Yeah, as if any girl could catch his attention, I mean even the famous Akita Neru couldn't grab him."

"Do you really think the rumors that he's in the closet, is true?"

I cringe on hearing that. Yes, I am still single… There's nothing wrong with that. But apparently in the entertainment industry there is something wrong with that. It's either I've had a horrible experience with a past relationship or I'm in the closet.

Because of this stupid speculation about my private life everyone tries to pair me up with… Well anyone they could think off… Yes, that includes the guys too.

My mom, sweet her soul is once said; "Don't worry Lenny. Mommy is here to support you whichever you may swing." That was my most embarrassing talk with my mother. I just wanted to die that day.

"Wish I could have video cam that." Kaito said which irritated me. I punched his shoulder and he yelp while rubbing his shoulder.

"Will you stop that, I don't need this kind of stress right now." I said rubbing my forehead, I feel a headache coming. "You know my situation right now."

"Sorry, sorry… But I can't believe your manager would actually suggest something like that." Kaito said as we walked together towards the hall. We'll be separating ways by the stairs of the second floor, since Kaito is a level higher than me he's floor is above mine.

Ah, yes what was Kaito taking about? Well, it was like this, my agent had this absurd idea that I should get together with Neru for the sake of killing the long time rumors that I'm in the closet.

My answer NO WAY! Akita Neru may be pretty and all but god she's such a snobbish brat. And how do I know that. Well, the thing is she also attends Yamaha High. And here she's reigning queen of… Well you know.

That's the problem with some students like me who came from a well-known family. They think that they rule the school. Yes, I exclude myself, Kaito and some others. Not all rich kids are a brat you know. Kaito and I commute to get to school not show off being on limos and all.

"Anyway I might as well tell you, I haven't talked to my agent since she suggested that. And I don't think I'll be talking to her anytime soon." I said and sighed deeply depressed.

"Are you still depressed about how your new song came up?" Kaito hit on the mark. "That was also part of the argument right?"

"I decided not to include it to the new album releasing." I said. The song Kaito was mentioning was a song I made titled Requiem of the Endless World. I thought it was a great song it came along nicely when I made it and practiced singing it. Then I did the recording. Everything went wrong when I was finally listening to the outcome.

It was I don't know, as if I was doing some monologue on the song. As if something was missing. Everyone at the recording said it was a great song, but I didn't and told my agent I don't want it to be released. But unfortunately they had it run on air without me knowing it, which pissed me off.

Me and my agent had a fight then, which I added the fuel of her ridiculous idea about Neru. I haven't been taking her calls since then or responding to her emails either.

Ok, so I'll admit it wasn't the Neru get together that upset me. I haven't been in a cheery mood since the song incident; it was also the reason why I have been sleep deprived the last few days. The song was bothering me that much.

I sat on my chair which was situated second to the back of the window, which has a great view outside. Looking at the music sheet of the song, I tried thinking of ways to improve it but nothing. Something was always missing; I looked outside the window trying to get some inspiration before class starts.

Then I heard the bell ring, a few moments later the teacher came in. Well, guess I'll be droning out the class.

"Ok, get to your seats." The teacher said putting his materials on the table. "As you may know, we have a transfer student coming."

I heard whispers among the classroom.

"The one who managed to beat senior Hatsune's entrance exam score?"

Hatsune Miku got an average of 94% on the entrance exam during her freshman year. She's the daughter of the owner of Hatsune Industries one of the most well-known technology company competing in the market. Being pretty smart she's apparently a scholar even though her family can very well afford it here. She's in the same grade as Kaito and apparently friends with him. I do still wonder how in the world it happened.

But then I'm amazed at this new comer. If Miku got a 94 how much did this one got?

"She came from a foreign country and came here to our prestigious school. But she was originally from this country. So, there should be no problem with anyone bleeding their noses out." At that the whole class chuckled some even sighed a relief.

So, it's a girl, another girl who got a top notch rank.

"She's still settling at her new home, so she won't be joining us yet. Hopefully she will be able to this week." The teacher said. "But I'm already telling everyone ahead. Ok, so let's officially begin class." She added and continued on to the last topic we've discussed.

The long school hours seems to have passed with nothing but the new student who beat Miku's exam score passing on everyone's lips. Gosh, if they're that curious why don't they head to the office and inquire. It seems so dull and uninteresting.

Finally I heard the bell signaling the last class to end. The teacher however gave us an assignment before ending which was a bumper and all. Well, it's not as if I was going to get any proper sleep tonight, might as well just focus on that.

I was on the shoe locker changing my shoes while waiting for Kaito and Miku. When suddenly my eyes were covered from behind and spine chilling voice said to me.

"Guess who?"

'Ugh… And I thought I perfectly avoided her the entire time. Why now when school's over.' I thought as I pry Neru's hands off my eyes.

"School just ended Akita and I'm tired over the lessons." I said hoping she would get the hint. Fat chance that.

"Don't be like that, darling…" Neru said purring.

"I am no darling of yours. You can forget what my agent told you, I'm taking no part of it." I said my mood worsening.

Before Neru could say anything a teal haired in twin tails hugged me squealing while saying; "How's my favorite junior doing? Oh, hi Akita, if you don't mind… Me, Kaito and Lenny here are in a hurry to get somewhere. So see you later." And with that she quickly grabbed me and led me outside where Kaito was waiting for us.

"You could've been there too." I said to Kaito pointedly.

"Are you kidding me…? I don't mind the other girls but Akita is someone to be feared you know." Kaito said while putting his arm around my neck and giving rubbing my head.

I escaped Kaito's clutches and turned to Miku. "Hey, Miku I heard that the new transfer student beat your score at the entrance exams…"

"Oh please, Len… That exam was like years ago… I can't believe people would make an issue out of it. I'm no longer a freshman you know." Miku said nonchalantly.

"They say it was a girl too." Kaito added. "I wonder what she got though I mean, Miku's score is no average."

"Well, you guys are being beaten down by girls." Miku chuckled.

"Hey at least I pass my classes you know." Kaito said.

"Don't you mean barely?"

And the banter continued between Kaito and Miku. I still wonder why this two continue going on as friends when obviously their good together. To a by-stander they could almost look like a couple… Without the third wheel of course which is me.

"Oh, yeah by the way I got this, this morning." Miku said as she took something out of her bag. It was a horoscope magazine.

"You actually read this sort of stuff, you who has the biggest brain in Yamaha High?" Kaito burst out which was probably not a good idea because it earned him a kick on the butt. "Ouch! What's the big idea?!"

"Why don't you try asking that yourself..." I said looking at the magazine Miku was still holding. "That magazine is quite popular it gets so sold out so quickly. How'd you manage to get one?"

"Well, I was walking towards school when this fortune teller handed me the magazine as I was passing her. She had a pile on her hand she seemed to have been giving them for free." Miku said flipping through the pages. "I thought it was interesting so I took it with me. What's your sign, Kaito?"

"I don't know, never bothered with that kind of stuff." Kaito said.

"Well, your birthday is February 17 so that makes you…" I said trailing off since I don't really know the dates of the zodiac signs.

"An Aquarius…" Miku said flipping to the right page. "Let's see… Your naivety is going to get you through a lot of pain…" She trailed off.

Silence reigned for a few moments then Miku and I laughed out.

"How very true…" I commented.

"Shut up, what does it say about you?" Kaito asked Miku, changing the topic of his fortune.

"I'm a Virgo… It says: what your heart desires is still far off." Miku said scratching her head with her free hand. "Hmm…"

"What does your heart desires?" Kaito asked.

"As if I'm going to tell you that…" Miku said in a huff.

'Kaito is so clueless.' I thought to myself.

"And you Len?" Miku asked looking at me.

"I don't believe in that sort of stuff. So don't mind about me." I said shaking my head.

"Oh come on, Lenny. It's just for fun." Miku said pleading.

I sighed once Miku starts pleading she never stops until that person relents. No choice on it.

"Capricorn…" I said rolling my eyes.

After flipping for a few moments Miku says; "You will have an encounter that will change your life forever."

"Ooohhh, better take note of that Len…" Kaito said teasing.

"Shut up if every fortune told by that magazine comes true then every Capricorn will have an encounter that will change their lives forever then." I said rationally.

"True…" Kaito agreed.

We stopped by a crepe's store. Miku ordered a leek flavored crepe. (A/N: Please take note there is no such flavor. If there ever was I haven't tasted one, LOL) Kaito ordered the one with the ice cream as for me, the usual banana flavor.

I was about to pay when suddenly the guy who was next to me who I thought was looking at the menu suddenly grabbed my wallet and made a run for it.

"Hey thief!" I screamed trying to chase after the robber which is probably stupid, the guy could be carrying a weapon.

I hear Kaito and Miku calling after me but their voices are getting far away. Finally I caught up to the thief and knocked him down. We went struggling for my wallet when it got thrown off. The thief straddled me down grabbing a knife from his jacket.

My eyes widened as the thief raised it up high. "Fucking bitch should've got outta my way, kid." He said then he brought down the knife.

I crossed my arms in-front of me in defense. They say that when a person is about to die their life flashes before their eyes and I did saw my life flashing before me playing in a fast forward cascade. Then everything seemed to slow as the scenery of this morning played.

The blonde-haired girl walking away from me then looked back, our eyes meeting as if a significant event was happening. And then I heard Miku's voice as she told me my fortune.

"You will have an encounter that will change your life forever."

To be continued…

Orika: So that's how the prologue goes. A bit long I must say, but pretty much idle chatter. I haven't been writing for a while so I'm a little rusty. I'll try to keep in tip-toe shape LOL.

The reason why Neru is referred to her first name in Len's narration but Akita when he mentions her is because from what I know Japanese refer to people on their last names. Unless it's someone close like how Len, Miku and Kaito are to each other.

Oh and just added information though I know you guys already know this, Kaito's birthday is at February 17, Miku at August 31 and the Kagamine twins at December 27.

Anyways thanks for reading and leave a review. Anything is welcome under the moon and sun. Until next time guys…
