Author: First fanfic everyone! Be nice, okay? Oh, and I can't help but see the Kagamines as twins and I tried writing a RinXLen before (I didn't put it here) but really couldn't push through with it. Sorry for those die-hard RinXLen fans out there! But at least try to read my fanfic… :)
Like an Anime
Chapter One: "YaYu"
"Hurry up, Ya! We're gonna be late if you don't get your butt in here right now!" a spiky pigtailed red-haired girl dressed in a v-neck shirt with the words "Music is my first love" printed on it in white topped with a black vest and paired with a red and black striped skirt that reached just above the knee said as she gestured someone to hurry up with an excited – slash – angry look on her face.
"The concert isn't going anywhere, Yu… And you forced me to come here. I have no reason to get there on time," a light brown-haired girl dressed as Maka Albarn from the anime Soul Eater said as she took her time walking the five meter gap between her and her friend with a bored look on her face.
The two were standing just outside a huge building that looked like a stadium from outside. The red-haired girl was just a single step away from the inside of the stadium while the light brown haired one was walking between the red velvet rope linings that led to the entrance. Everyone else was already inside so they were the only ones outside.
Besides, I just wanted to stay at home and watch the new episode of Naruto Shippudden!, the light brown haired girl mentally added.
Her friend hopelessly sighed and said, "I can read you mind, you know. You were all-", she paused for a moment to get ready and began talking in a tone much like her friend's, "… Aaah~! I just wanted to stay at home and watch Naruto Shippudden!" she waved her arms up and down like a child having a tantrum. After her performance, she immediately put on a triumphant grin and said, "Right on the mark, huh?"
Finally reaching the front of the entrance, the light brown haired girl had a frown on her face as she said, "Nooo… I did not go 'Aaah~!'," she looked away as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Her friend lightly laughed and said, "Well, close enough. Now let's gooooo!" she instantly grabbed the light brown-haired girl's arm and dragged her inside as she lightly struggled.
And finally, they got inside the stadium just as music boomed from the speakers and fans screamed wildly as Hatsune Miku came out from the darkness and started singing.
Tenshine Yuuki and Takashi Ayaka have been almost inseparable best friends ever since they were three years old. That was around when little red-haired Yuuki was taken in by Ayaka's family. She was a talented little orphan, being able to hit high notes even as a child while as Ayaka never showed a hint of talent in music. The whole of Ayaka's family, except her, are very famous in the league of music. Her father is a great musician, her mother, a talented singer and her big brother also showed his talents with his voice. Because of this, they expressed a liking to Yuuki and took her in, hoping that someday they could get to perform as a family; Ayaka would probably play the chimes or something. That was what they always thought but a year before they planned to go public altogether; Yuuki started losing her marvelous voice. She could barely hit a high C so they cancelled that plan and went abroad wit just Hoshine, their eldest son. They left the two girls in Japan with sufficient supplies to let them live a normal life and are sending financial support every month. They also call and check to see if the two are okay every so often.
Miku bowed down and left for the backstage as she finished singing "World is Mine". The fans filling the stadium shook their green-colored glowing sticks; a few had leek-shaped ones, vigorously and applauded the teenager.
"Wow… She's pretty cool," Ayaka said with sincere admiration as she looked at the stage, waiting for the next singer to come out.
"Isn't she? She's Hatsune Miku! The most popular of the Vocaloids!" Yuuki screamed at the top of her voice and after that, other people agreed by saying "So true!" and stuff like that. Just then, Luka came suddenly came out from the darkness, who knows how she did, and music sounded throughout the stadium just as fans screamed in excitement. Some were even saying "Marry me, Luka!" and other absurd things like that.
"Luka! Go google it!" Yuuki screamed as well, but in a less fangirl-ish way.
"Eeh… Vocaloid, huh?" Ayaka rubbed her chin as if understanding the whole thing. "What are the Vocaloids, anyway?" she asked, looking up at her friend who was ignoring the seats arranged for them like everyone else except for her.
"What? You don't know about the Vocaloids?" Yuuki asked with a disbelieving look on her face.
Ayaka nodded innocently with wide eyes waiting for an answer.
Yuuki groaned and said as she palmed her face, "But I always tell you about them! I even remember explaining it to you very clearly when I asked you to come with me here! Don't you remember that?"
"Uhmm…," Ayaka started thinking back to two days ago and a flashback started playing in her head as Luka went into the chorus of her song…
FLASHBACK
Two Days Ago…
"Tamaki-senpai, I made this bentou especially for you…," a dark brown haired girl in the television screen dressed in an apron said shyly as a tall boy with blonde hair magically appeared and accepted the bentou dramatically.
"Ahaha! Tamaki is always thinking of things like that!" Ayaka commented as her eyes never left the TV screen. She was flat on her stomach on the carpeted floor and was nibbling on some popcorn.
"Yaaaa! You wouldn't believe what I just got!" Yuuki suddenly burst through the living room door and held up two small tickets in delight.
"Eh~? What is it?" Ayaka asked with a really distant mind. She wasn't going to release her focus from the show any time soon.
"Well, I just got two tickets for Vocaloid's live concert! Isn't it awesome?" Yuuki exclaimed as she frantically started explaining each member's information but all Ayaka could hear was "Blah blahblah blah blahblah blah blah blahblah…"
"Ah~ Is that so? Uh-hm…," the brownish golden eyed girl said without really listening to her friend and got an earphone from her pocket, plugged it into the TV and placed the two ends on each of her ears.
"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah…"
End of Flashback
"Well I did hear you say "blah blah blah"…? Eheh?" Ayaka tried looking cute so her best friend wouldn't try to kill her or something.
"Don't 'eheh?' me! It's not going to work!" Yuuki said as her face glowed with an evil aura.
"Waa! You know better than to disturb me when I'm watching Ouran High School Host Club!" Ayaka whined as she covered herself with her hands while squinting her eyes to avoid seeing Yuuki's scary face.
Most people around them stopped and stared for a while at Ayaka and started murmuring things like "She's an otaku." And "Let's move away, there's an otaku here…" and "Eew! Disgusting! An otaku of all things going to Vocaloid's concert!" and "That's why she's dressed so weirdly, she's an icky otaku!"
The two stopped quarreling for a moment and heard all of the people's comments. Ayaka looked around with a frowning sad face and lowered her head.
Yuuki saw her face and suddenly had the need to shout something and she did by saying, "Shut up, people! What do you, who don't know anything about Ayaka, even care? Mind your own businesses, you Vocaloid otakus," she huffed and grabbed Ayaka's arm to get the hell away from that spot. The people around her gasped as they finally realized that they were otakus too and that thought practically murdered them, being the shallow human beings that they were.
"Yu…," Ayaka said softly as they settled at the very front of the stage, where people didn't care if there was a monster beside them or not so long as they can watch Vocaloid perform.
"Hm?" Yuuki looked down at Ayaka since she was just sitting down rather than standing up and cheering for the singers. "Don't put that face on! We're supposed to be having fun!"
"No, Yu… It's… I…," her face was close to tears as she said so. She was fidgeting with her fingers.
"Oi, oi! Don't cry! That'll make you look like a loser!" Yuuki said in a hushed tone as the third Vocaloid member came out and fans screamed again. It was Kaito this time after hearing from Luka. "It's okay, Ya! Don't worry about those people, they're just stupid."
"H-Huh? It's not about them, Yu," Ayaka shook her head vigorously, her Maka-pigtails shaking along.
"It's not? Then what is it?" she asked curiously as she tried to listen to the concert and talk to Ayaka at the same time.
"I…," she sniffed, her eyes filled with tears that tempted to fall down. "I lost my USB flash drive that was full of all my precious anime episodes!" Now, she was crying all the way, her hands were covering her face.
"Huh?" Yuuki almost fell down when she heard Ayaka's reason. "You lost it…? Uhm… We can just buy a new one, right?" she asked in a loud voice since Kaito was already singing.
"But that one had all our pictures and videos together!" the brownish golden eyed teen pouted as her pigtails deflated along with her mood.
"Aww… That's okay! We'll just make new ones!" Yuuki said as she rubbed Ayaka's head, finding it cute that she cared so much about their precious memories together.
"B-But…! There were also videos of you singing and stuff like that that I kept in case I needed to blackmail you in there…," the weeping girl added, looking sincerely depressed.
"Wha…," a dumbstruck Yuuki muttered with a still face. For a few more seconds, she stayed like that before blood rushed to her face as she realized what Ayaka just said.
"See? That's why it's so important!" Ayaka added. She already stopped crying but her eyes and nose were still red.
"Ayaka!" Yuuki exclaimed with an angered look. "Why on earth would you keep things like those?" she asked, lightly wringing Ayaka's neck, making the otaku dizzy.
"Kururu…," the caramel-haired girl said. Her eys turned into swirls as she tried to get out of Yuuki's firm hold. "I was kidding, Yu! Just kidding!" Yuuki didn't seem to believe so she added, "I kept them because they were good, Yu!"
The red-haired teen stopped her actions at this and looked at Ayaka with embarrassment on her face. "N-No they're not…," her face was all red when she said that. She was also averting her eyes from Ayaka's, too embarrassed to look at her straight.
Seeing her friend like this, Ayaka instantly became full of energy as she said, "Of course they are! I like your voice waaayy better than anyone else's!" She grinned toothily.
"Oh, Ya… You really mean-"
Fukyou waon!
"Whoa, cool voices! Never mind, Yu," Ayaka instantly said. She started paying closer attention to the singers on stage, bobbing her head with the beat of the song.
"Huh…?" Yuuki who was all flattered and jittery a few seconds ago started losing the color on her face as she watched her best friend join the crowd in rooting for the Kagamine twins as they sang "Migikata no Chou". She couldn't blame her for liking them, but…
"Ayakaaa!" the redhead screamed in annoyance, making Ayaka laugh out loud at her.
The two continued on with the arguments, sweet moments and whatnot for the rest of the concert, only haphazardly paying attention to the actual performances that went on the stage. They also completely forgot about the lost USB flash drive. After the concert, they headed home and turned in for the day.
The eight Vocaloid members were either glugging down a lot of water, lying down, sitting down or both. To put it simply, they were heck of a lot tired from their just finished successful concert.
"Len, go get me an orange," Rin said, she was lying down on the couch at the backstage especially prepared for them after their concert. She had a towel hanging around her shoulders.
Len just finished drinking a bottle of water when he heard what Rin said and sighed, getting up to go get what his sister asked for. "Okay. Where do I get one?" he asked, wiping his sweaty face with the towel in his hands.
Rin kept silent for a minute before she said, "I dunno… Go find one," she said flatly.
"Rin… Honestly…," Len shook his head as he palmed his face. Rin put out her tongue at him weakly.
"Fine, I'll go find some. But if I don't find any, it wouldn't be my fault," he said as he walked off around the backstage, looking for any sign of oranges but found none. And as he reached his final searching place, he found something but it wasn't an orange or a banana. It was a red and blue small object. Somewhat like a USB flash drive, which is what it was when he picked it up and examined it.
"Hmm…," he wondered who could have dropped it as he walked back to where the other Vocaloid members were.
"Uhm, did anyone drop their USB flash drives or anything?" he asked to everyone in the vicinity. They all shoved their hands into their pockets and got out each of their USB flash drives and simultaneously shook their heads at him.
"Then do you recognize whose this is?" he held up the red and blue small device for everyone to see. All of them stared at it closely and shook their heads again.
"Where'd you find it, Len-kun?" Miku asked, biting off of her leek as she did.
"Just by the backstage's entrance, Miku-nee. Do you think it might have been one of the audience's?" Len asked, looking at the thing in his hand.
"Saa…?" Miku answered, biting another piece off of her leek. She shoved the leek into Len's mouth as she asked, "Want some?"
With a horrified expression, Len backed away slowly saying, "N-No thanks Miku-nee… I'm still full," he fake smiled but everyone else could clearly see the fright in his face. He almost ate that stuff; anyone would be scared about that.
"Leenn~ Where's my orangee~?" Rin called out to her twin brother with a somewhat whining voice.
"Is no one going to take this seriously?" Len sighed, waiting for everyone's reply. They all just looked at him with innocent eyes. He groaned and shoved the USB flash drive into his pocket and prepared to tell his sister that there were no oranges in sight.
He would just search for its owner by himself, he thought.
