The Life of the Vocaloids
Chapter 1: Being a Pitchloid
It was a peaceful day in Vocaloid City, and Mikuo Shion was playing football with his uncle, Mikuo Hatsune. "Mikuo! It's time to go now!" Mikuo's mother called. Mikuo turned around. "Coming!" He said. He turned to his uncle. "Bye, uncle!" He said, and left. Mikuo watched him leave. It was strange, how he and his sister's son looked so alike. It was almost funny. But, he had to admit, he actually thought it was cool. He was only 24 years old. Miku had gotten married eight years ago, with Kaito, who was 28 now. Mikuo Shion was 16 years old. He was a very brave boy. Mikuo wasn't married yet, but he knew that there had to be someone out there. Smiling, he went home.
Meanwhile, Reia and Rei Benzene were taking a walk back home after a long day at the park. These two were 14, and were twins, just like their mother and father, Rin and Len Benzene. They ran into the Hatsune family a few minutes later. "Hey Reia and Rei." Miku said to them. "Shouldn't you be at home right now?" She asked them. Rei nodded. "We're heading home now, thanks." Miku smiled, and went. Now, Reia and Rei were very unique children. They were both very curious about things, like Elementals and Balancers. They talked about this on the way home.
Let's explain what Elementals and Balancers are. Basically, an Elemental is a person who controls a certain element of the world, like Rin Kagamine controls the water, and Len Kagamine controls electricity.
Balancers, on the other hand, maintain the balance in the world. They keep everything in balance and make sure that nothing goes wrong. Who ever is the son and daughter, relative or brother or sister of a balancer also counts as one. It runs in the family. Now, moving on.
Mikuo was walking back home, when he came across a poor family that looked like they hadn't eaten in years. Mikuo picked up some soil, concentrated, and gave them a diamond. They looked up, and laughed. They got up, and hugged him. Then off they went to feed themselves, and Mikuo watched them go. He then continued on his way. He thought about his strange power, to turn soil into beautiful diamonds. He knew that he was the Elemental of Value, but he knew that he wasn't important. He was just a normal Vocaloid, where no one noticed him, and he was invisible. The only person that noticed him was his nephew. He sighed, and walked on. Of course, maybe there were more people that noticed him. There were Nero and Rinto. They were both like him. Speaking of them two, Mikuo ran into them on the street.
"Hey." Nero said to him. "Hi." Mikuo said glumly. "You don't look so good. Are you okay?" Rinto asked him. "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just upset that no one notices me." Mikuo replied. "Well, we notice you. Your nephew notices you." Nero pointed out.
"True, but none of us here are Vocaloids, right?" Mikuo answered.
"We are Vocaloids," Rinto said. "Who else would we be?"
"We're Pitchloids. We're just fake versions of Vocaloids." Mikuo pointed out. "Our software hasn't even been made yet."
"Alright, now we're crying." Nero said. They sat down on a bench. Mikuo sighed. He hated being a Pitchloid. The world didn't even know that they existed.
Meanwhile, Miku was getting worried. Mikuo hadn't come home yet, and there was a thunderstorm on the way (according to their not-so-accurate weather station). She told Kaito to go and look for him. He nodded, and went out into the darkness.
Finally, Kaito found Mikuo, along with Nero and Rinto. "Where have you been?" He asked them. "Miku's getting worried, and there's a thunderstorm coming!" "What?" Rinto said. "Oh God." Nero said. They got off the bench and ran home.
When Mikuo got home, Miku gave him a big lecture about how he was being irresponsible and whatnot. He ignored her and went to his room. He heard thunder. The thunderstorm had started.
