My first Vocaloid fanfic! And also my first time to write Shounen Ai/Yaoi fanfic. I never write yaoi before and my sis would skin me alive if she found out I became a yaoi fangirl and wrote a yaoi... -.-' I'm not actually a fan of yaoi, just all my friends are happen to be yaoi fangirl and they pulled me in their yaoi world. I decided to make this fanfic when I came across a music video about Kaito singing "Once Upon a December" in English from Anastasia Animated Film and someone commented what if Kaito was the prince in this movie... Those words keep haunting me until now =_= Anyway, enjoy the story! Please RnR!
Pairing : Gakupo/Kaito, Meito/Luka, puppy!Len/puppy!Rin (I turned them into puppies since I don't know where should I put them, but they're cute ^_^), Mikuo/Miku
Note : I might add some scenes that never existed on the movie, just to keep it interesting, but I will try to keep the plot in the movie as original as I can. I hope you don't mind ^_^' I never own Vocaloid or Anastasia Animated Film! They belong to their rightful owner! Be aware of bad grammar too!
There was a time, not very long ago, when we lived in an enchanted world of elegant places and grand parties. The year was 1916. I, Clementine Romanov, was happy and my son, Vasili, was the Tsar of Imperial Russia. We were celebrating the three-hundred year of our family rule. People were dancing in the grand, elegant ballroom of the castle. The ballroom filled with happiness and joy. My son was with his wife, Regina, dancing gracefully through the ballroom.
"Hello, darling." I waved at him from my throne and he waved back. Then, I saw a boy secretly sneaked among the crowd of dancing people, admiring the people around him. There he was…
My beloved eight-year-old grandson, Kaito.
He had the same look of his father and the same eyes like his mother. He noticed me and waved back. Vasili finally noticed him and picked him up, spinning him at the same spot.
"Oh, papa!" He laughed happily and I chuckled softly to myself. He was bright like the brightest star in the night sky and sweet like an angel. He ran toward while holding an adorable picture of me and I accepted it gladly.
"Grandma, why do you have to go to Paris?" He asked me with a plea. I told everyone that I had to go to Paris to take care his dead cousin's children. He and his wife were killed in an accident, leaving their children alone without parents. Kaito had been begging me not to leave ever since the day I told them, but I got something for him, so he wouldn't be sad for this separation.
"What is this? A music box?" He asked in curious when I gave him a small, round box with green color on the lid and gold for the rest. I pulled out a necklace with its circle-shaped key.
"Look and listen." I twisted the keyhole of the music box few times. When I removed the key, the lid was opened, revealing two figures in waltz pose spinning like they were dancing. It was Vasili and Regina.
"It plays our lullaby!" He exclaimed as he recognized the soft tune coming out from the music box. He's now sitting on my lap and listening to the soft tune of our lullaby.
"Yes, my dear… You can hear me ging whenever you plays this music box." I chuckled softly. After it played awhile, I began to sing the lullaby.
"On the wind. Cross the sea. Hear this song and remember…"
"Soon you will be, home with me. Once upon a December…" Kaito joined in. As we finished the song, the lid was slowly closed. I handed over the key and he studied the key closely.
"Try to read the words on the key." I told him as I watched his eyes curiously read the words.
"To…gether…in…Paris…" He read the words aloud. He was confused at the first time, but quickly became happy as he understood the meaning of these words.
"Really?! Oh grandma!" He hugged my neck with his arms and I hugged him back as I chuckled happily to this boy, thinking about Kaito in Paris with me, along with my son and his wife.
But that day would never become true.
A dark shadow had descended on the house of Romanov's on that night. A figure in black cloak suddenly appeared out of the blue in the ballroom. Even though the figure was wearing a black cloak, everyone could see clearly of the pale skin, dark hair and red eyes. It was Zeito. We thought he was a holy man, but we were so wrong about it. He's nothing, but a dangerous, power-thirst fraud. The lights were gone out. People were scared to death, even some had fainted. Seeing the surprised guest, Vasili quickly approached Zeito. His eyes showed a great hatred and disgust.
"How dare you return to the palace?!" Vasili barked as he pointed him darkly.
"I am your confidant!" Zeito yelled as he revealed his full image of his face.
"You're nothing, but a traitor! Get out!" Vasili yelled. Zeito's eyes darkened in hatred.
"You…You think you can banish me?! By the unholy powers brimming within me, I shall banish you, with a curse." Zeito said in loud, calm voice and he began to chuckle darkly.
Kaito, who had no idea what's going on, clung to me tightly and I hugged him back to calm him down. I could feel he's trembling in fear. So did everyone in here.
"Mark my words!" Zeito yelled to the crowed and turned face-to-face with Vasili. "You and your family shall die, within the fortnight!" Vasili turned pale as he listened to the words.
"I WILL NOT REST, UNTIL I SEE THE END OF ROMANOV LINE, FOREVER!" He pulled out his famous reliquary, a slim tube full of green essence and decorated with skull, high above his head. A green lighting appeared from the reliquary and stuck down one of the chandeliers. It fell down with a loud crash, but no one harmed and he's gone. However, everyone was deathly scared of that night.
Because of his hatred to Vasili and his family, Zeito sold his soul to the devil for a power to end the Romanov Line. With this power, he made many sparks of unhappiness within our country. Those sparks were quickly turned into flames. The revolution broke out and the army turned their side against my son. All of us had no choice, but to escape from this country. The revolutionists were breaking down the gate and everyone quickly made a way to escape.
"My music box!" Kaito shouted as he ran back to his room.
"Kaito! Come back!" I yelled to him, but he didn't hear it. I didn't want to leave him alone, so I followed him to his room.
I closed and locked the door as Kaito quickly opened his cabinet in hurry to find his music box. When he finally found it, we heard the sound of gunshots, breaking door and glass. I thought we didn't have a chance to escape and died in here. All of sudden, I felt someone pulled my sleeves and I saw a boy with long, purple hair and matching eyes like his hair. I quickly noticed him as one of servant boys. I saw him several times, working in the kitchen.
"Hurry, this way! Out of servant quarters!" The boy guided us to the hidden door that used by the servants as a quick path to all the rooms in the palace, so they wouldn't bother the guests or the family. He pushed us to the door, but Kaito quickly turned back and faced the boy.
"My music box!" He exclaimed worriedly, but the boy only smiled gently to him as he quietly closed the door, leaving himself behind and facing those revolutionists. I didn't want to leave behind that servant boy, but he sacrificed himself to allow us to escape. Without looking back, we were going through dark corridor until we arrived on icy riverbank. I didn't realize it had been snowing heavily and froze the water. The ice was hard enough for us to run.
As we ran past the bridge, I heard something had fallen. It was Zeito and he gripped Kaito's ankle, causing him fell down. I kept my grab tightly on Kaito's arm as Kaito tried to break free from his tight grab.
"Let him go!" I cried over as I tried to hang on.
"Let me go, please!" Kaito cried in desperate. Zeito only chuckled darkly as he saw Kaito's terrified face as he tightened his grip on Kaito's ankle.
"You will never escape, child. Never!" Zeito said it darkly. He didn't realize the ice around him began to crack, causing him slowly sink to the river. Zeito finally realized it when he felt ice water underneath his sinking body and he hanged on to Kaito for his life. Kaito managed to kick his face, making him let go his ankle. I quickly helped Kaito get up and ran as Zeito slowly drown to the icy river.
Soon, we reached the train station. I managed to get broad by the help of passengers, but not Kaito and the train was starting to gain the speed. He was running after the train with his arm outstretched.
"Grandma!" He wept. I reached out my hand and grabbed his hand. He held on me with his two hands.
"Don't worry, Kaito! Just hold on!" I yelled desperately. I could see his face showing fear and worried.
"Don't let go…" Kaito pleaded in soft tone and everything went fast. Our hands were slipped and Kaito fell down from the train, hitting the railway track.
"KAITO!" I screamed. I wanted to get him fast, but the passengers held me down because the train was already moved fast. It was too late. By the time the train bended over, Kaito's unconscious figure was gone in the crowd of people.
On that day, my son and his wife, along the rest of the family, were killed and everything was gone. And my beloved grandson… I never saw him again…
Uhm...Should I put it in the crossover section or stay in Vocaloid section? It's my first time to write fanfic based on movies like this. Please tell me!
