This story is the base for a song I'm composing at the moment. And there's no guarantee it'll end up sounding/being sung by the vocaloids mentioned in this story for the simple reason that I do not have the 15000 yen for the programme. :] –Yuki

Disclaimer obviously I do not own vocaloid… characters here are property of Crypton, and any lyrics apart from my own go to the credit of their original composers.

Prologue

The concert hall was still, the lights dimmed and a spotlight lit up in centre stage. The chatter in the audience died down, eventually reaching absolute silence as they waited for the recital to begin.

A boy, probably 14, 15 years old, walked onstage, dressed neatly in a black suit and yellow tie. The light reflected off his golden hair, blue eyes gleaming, and the polished brown violin that he held in his hands.

With all attention focused on boy and violin, Len Kagamine hoisted the violin to his shoulder, and let sound flood the silenced hall.

Rin POV

Len is playing now… He's really happy out there. Hah… he loves music, and he loves playing too.

I wish I could share his passion too.

But I can't.

Because Kagamine Rin is a deaf girl. Ironic huh? Kagamine means 'mirror sound', but here, the twin brother is a music prodigy, while the twin sister is cannot hear. The irony is overwhelming.

Watching Len play… How can heaven be so cruel? He loves it so much, his soul is intertwined with the melody, whatever it is, yet I cannot share. It's just so tempting, I stand so close, just behind the stage curtains, while Len's just… there. Music is flooding the hallway, like a smooth river, but I'm blind to it, the sound is beyond me, it floods the place so.

A drop of sweat falls from his brow, he's playing so enthusiastically, I don't think he even notices. I wish I could run out there and wipe his sweat off. Because that's what I do at home, when he practices. But still, it's good to know that he's happy, that he can enjoy his passion so.

As long as Len is happy, I am too. I smile quietly to myself. As long as he can do what he loves, I can share his joy too.

Ah… sorry it's so short… it's just the prologue, and I have to rush for my art lesson. So what happens next? More stuff will happen, and it's just poor Rin who has to deal with it. Shining Ray and maybe some Kokoro in the next chapter :D Review please? :] -Yuki
