Loveless

I love you! JK! I can't love! ;)

– – –

Camera men hurrying, trying to catch up with the news-hungry reporters — fans either squealing with delight or groaning in disagreement — stalkers scouring with video cameras — and they were all gathering for one sight an otaku saw:

Kagamine Len carrying Miku Hatsune out of the mall — nose to nose — as if they would kiss.

Nobody knows how a huge paparazzi got there so fast, but its obvious the interviews would be non-stop.

"YEEEEEEEEE! I knew you two were perfect for each other, Len!" screamed the otaku who spotted them.

"B-b-b-but Len! I wanted to be with you!" cried another random otaku.

"Man Len, you should have gotten with Luka..." a boy in his early teens said.

"Mister Kagamine, are you really going out with Hatsune Miku? If so why?" the news reporter asked hoping to be heard.

Miku devilishly grinned at Len who grinned back at her. But to the crowd, it looked as if they were smiling with love.

"To the reporter that asked why I chose my sweet Miku, my answer is: Why can't I choose her?", Len said simply.

The neutral part of the crowd mused at this answer, but the disappointed people were still unimpressed.

"I can understand that," said a reporter getting closer to the two, "But don't you think that many of your fans will be disappointed at this choice?"

Len thought at the question and placed Miku back on the ground to stand by herself if she wanted to answer anything.

After a few seconds of thoughtful thinking Len answered, "If they are that selfish then screw the fans!"

The part of the crowd who believed Len as a shota gasped. The part that thought of him as a SPICE guy just smirked at his remark.

It was silent for a few seconds. Then all of the questions were aimed towards Miku.

"Did you know this side of Len?"

"Do you really feel for him?"

"I hate you! Len is mine!"

Miku nodded in a gaze and answered the 3 questions she heard out of the million.

She smiled weakly and answered, "What do you mine 'this side of Len'? You don't even know what Len is like. You can only assume his personality. Number 2, I guess you can say I feel for him. In proper terms it would be called love. And lastly, Len was never yours to begin with. Just because you paid to take part in the program, doesn't mean that Len is actually yours, little weeaboo."

Everybody there was dumbfounded. Nobody expected the sweet leek-lover to react to the questions like Len.

"I am sorry if I have acted rude, I am nervous under all this pressure," Miku quickly said after realizing the silence.

The only noises were the whispers of the crowd.

Len smirked at the so far succession of the plan. He looked over at Miku and she also had a smile.

The quiet, but noticeable whispers were cut off by yelling. Len's eyes widened and so had Miku's. They didn't have to hear the words in order to tell what was going on.

They were caught.

The sub-director (VSD) slammed his fists on his desk. Len gulped, but relaxed because he knew that if he harmed them, he might cause a reaction to their singing.

He whispered (which made it even more scary), "What...gave you the stupid idea...to make it look like you were going out?"

Len smirked and answered, "What are you talking about, sir? Maybe Miku and I did fall in love and we want to spend every moment of our lives together."

Miku chucked to herself but the VSD just got even more furious.

"Ha ha. Always trying to be cool at the wrong times. Look here shota boy, I know for a fact that you don't love Miku. Hah, actually, you can't! Not even if you tried!"

Len's smirk disappeared and tears rolled down his face. Miku saw Len but didn't cry, instead she sat silently...in anguish.

The VSD lightly smirked and told the two Vocaloids, "I guess that is enough punishment," his face grew serious, "Look guys, please don't attempt something like this again. Unlike the main director, you guys are like my children. I only want to protect you, if the main director came...lets just say he doesn't care if you guys can sing or not."

The two shivered at the thought and left silently.

Len's POV

Everybody was at the VO² room. Even though the first VOs could enter, the producers wanted the room named after the successful versions. The room was purposely made for the entertainment of the singers. In the room, the can chat about ANYTHING they wanted. Many fans would do anything to get in the room.

Many Vocaloids were absent from the room that evening, which was not a surprise since the producers have been making them work endlessly for the past months (I got suspicious after the first few weeks). I believe that Rin is at a Meltdown photo shoot.

"So what fool persuaded you to attempt such a thing?" Meiko asked while on her Rogue Red laptop.

Meiko is always selling Vocaloid signed items on websites. The producers don't mind, they think its better than pulling a stunt like Miku and I did.

"No fool put us up to it!" I blurted out instantly.

Meiko's face suddenly filled with concern, "I don't get it Len. Why are you and Miku the only ones pulling stunts like this? I know it is not because of the extra work we have to do lately because you have been planning wild stuff since years ago."

"It is because Len and I have something that I believe most Vocaloids don't have," Miku answered.

I planned on not answering at all, but Miku said it the best way it could be said. (Oh yea, I forgot to say. Miku is very mature and she is hardly angry. I would think that's cute if I was human.)

The door opened fast and hit the wall so hard it made Meiko almost drop her laptop.

"What the hell, Kaito?" Meiko yelled.

Kaito was green faced. I instinctively grabbed the trash can and placed it in Kaito's trembling hands. He puked all over it.

"I'm sorry...I didn't know they made you go through that again." Meiko said quietly.

After he was done, he sat on the couch opposite of me and shook violently for a split second.

"I...hate..them...This time, it was 10 scoops from 10 different brands!" he whispered loudly.

Kaito can't eat ice cream. I have no idea if its an allergy, but a professional told us that it can kill him easily. The producers ignore the warning and make him eat ice cream in front of crowds and advertise. Its pretty ironic, a character item that can kill the character...

Kaito shook off the sickness and anger and began talking normally.

"So is the rumors I heard true? You guys actually made it look like your together?"

"We almost did, but the producers said it was all a hoax to see their reactions..." Miku said gloomily.

"What was the plan anyways? What would that accomplish?" Meiko asked.

"I thought...they would get sick of us and let us go. But, I know they can't restore us so it was pointless from the beginning."

"Damn right it was," Meiko said while her eyes were bulging at her laptop. Somebody probably made a high bid.

Kaito started his lecture, "You guys chose the wrongest approach ever. You know it is STRICTLY forbidden for Vocaloids to date. The people who support other couples will get mad and stop their VO subscription which will ruin business. The producers decided it was best to leave it to each person's opinion."

Meiko rolled her eyes, she always does after Kaito's lectures.

There was complete silence except for Meiko's typing.

I disrupted the silence.

"Out of curiosity, Kaito and Meiko, are you guys in love with someone?"

Kaito smiled inwardly and answered, "I see. So you two have also been affected. I thought I was the only one who noticed."

Meiko shut her laptop and quietly said, "I am so glad...I thought I was going mad..."

She broke into tears.

"I was...so happy the first...time I fell in love...in Vocaloid Studios...with Kaito...This happened a few years ago...But a few months ago...I lost all of my love...towards anyone..."

The same happened with me. I lost my brotherly love towards Rin, my sister. The producers said we were just mirror images so people can support RinXLen. Rin, who didn't know any better, believed that. It took me a while to prove we were siblings, but it was worth it.

Kaito disrupted my thoughts, "I can feel some happiness and other emotions, but barely. My insides feel empty and cold. I feel inhuman."

The madness inside of me made me laugh. I thought Kaito would have known that if anything. Then again, I think that most Vocaloids still think that they are human...

"I see..." Meiko answered, her crying stopped and her voice sounded normal again.

"Hey, isn't it a coincidence." Kaito said while half smiling.

I knew what he meant. Everything started back a few months ago — I think about 4 or 5 months. We got more work, we lost the most important emotion and almost all over ou feelings, and they gave us new headphones.

"Hmph, it looks like Len understands what I mean." Kaito smirked while studying my face.

"And? Whats the matter with that?" I answered coldly.

Kaito was about to say something but I interrupted.

"Rin is coming back from her photo shoot in a few minutes. Ciao."

I left the room hoping to interrogate my sister, who has been saying "I love you my brother, be safe" every morning. Such lies.
