Look who's back from the dead!
Sorry that it's been a while since I've been on here. To be quite honest, I was having a hard time in school and when I was finally back in a stable position, my older sister had passed away and I had lost all inspiration to write.
It feels good to be back. So, I was reading over my writing and have decided to rewrite the story.
Here it is, Chapter 1. Hope you all like the story just as much as the original.
DISCLAIMER! I, NeaLureKamui, do not own Vocaloid. All rights go to their respective owner. But, man do I wish I did!
Chapter 1: Rumors
(Gakupo's POV)
I was in the park, sitting on a wooden bench and enjoying the good things in life: a good book and the company of my two closest friends. The three of us thought that since it was a lovely morning, it would be a waste not to enjoy it, so the three of us decided to go to the park after school. One of my said friends has short, blue hair and deep blue eyes. He was standing to the left of me, leaning forward onto the back of it and eating ice-cream. His name was Kaito Shion, age 17. The other was a smaller boy with dark aquamarine eyes and short messy blonde hair that he likes to wear in a small pony tail. He sat on the other side of Kaito, playing "Super Mario Bros." on his DS. His name was Len Kagamine, age 14. As for myself, I'm Gakupo Kamui and I am 17. I have violet eyes and my long purple hair (to which Kaito said could be used as a hangers noose if it were braided) I like to wear in a high pony tail. All three of us were wearing our school's uniform: Black blazer, white shirt, red tie, tan pants and white shoes. The school that the three of us attend is Crypton High's sister school: Crypton's Boarding Academy of Musical Study. Not only does the school cover the necessary academic courses required, but the school is also geared to the needs of the musically incline or to those who know that they want to go into the music industry after High school. All students attend Crypton High School for the first year and before the second year starts, students who wish to may take the entrance exam required to transfer over.
I was happy to know that Kaito and Len were accepted into the academy along with me; we even ended up sharing the same dorm room. I've known those two for most of my life. Kaito and I have known each other since elementary school. When we were in middle school, Kaito introduced me to Len and told me about how he was so smart that the school made him skip a few grades. The three of us have been friends ever since.
"….Don't you think, Gakupo?" Kaito's voice suddenly shook me out of the thrilling fantasies of my book. I sighed as I dog-eared my place and closed my book, sitting it down on my lap.
"What did you say, Kaito?"
It was Kaito's turn to sigh this time. He took another lick of Ice-cream before responding. "I said, 'The rumors going around the school are rather interesting, don't you think, Gakupo?'"
"'Rumors'?" surprisingly, the topic in question peeked my interest. Not that I'm into gossip, but a curious mind is never sated.
"What? Do you mean, you haven't heard? It's been all over the school for at least a week. OMG. I mean, like, I can't believe you haven't heard." Kaito says in complete astonishment. Oh, how I wish to say Kaito, you sound like a teenage girl.
"Kaito, quit talking like a teenage girl. You messing with my concentration." Len said, not tearing his eyes away from the LED lit screen. Thank you, Len. At least someone said it.
"No, I haven't Kaito. So, please, enlighten me. What are the rumors about?" I said in a mocking tone. I heard a light snicker from Len. Kaito just brushed it off though, or was just oblivious to it.
"Okay, sooo~ I was told by Ted, who was told by Haku, who was told by Defoko, who was told by Teto, who was sent a text from Neru, who was told by Gumi, who told by Piko, who was told by Yuma, who was coincidentally sent a text by Nero, which I found weird because I would figure Nero would text Neru first since they're related and he knows Neru lives for this type of thing. Anyways, Nero was accidently told by-"
"DAMN IT, KAITO! JUST GET ON WITH IT!" Len said with pure frustration and annoyance. More than likely, Kaito's rambling distracted Len and caused him to get a game over on his game, judging by an oh so familiar melody coming from the DS.
"Okay, okay. Geez, I was trying to build suspense." Kaito took a lick of his ice-cream before he started talking again, "From my sources, I have heard that, and this is gonna blow your mind, there will be three, count them, three transfer students that are going to be attending our school."
"And here I was hyped about a possible ghost story." Len said disappointingly, going back to his DS. I must admit, I was rather disappointed with this "mind blowing" rumor Kaito was going on about. It could have been anything; a scandal between teachers, the mystery uncovered from the schools mystery meat, anything! But hearing this made me lose all interest.
I open my book back to where I left off to help get rid of the leftover excitement that was being threatened by the by the rumor. It was at least five seconds before Kaito said anything. "Guys? Transfer students? Three of them? Come on, that cool isn't it?"
"Yeah, cool." I signed while missing those five seconds of silence, "What of it?"
"Well, first off, I said that there were 'rumors', not 'rumor', so that means that there are more than one." Kaito said finishing off his ice-cream.
"So, there's more?" Len paused his game and turned to face Kaito.
"Yeah there's more."
I sighed as I closed my book once again and, like Len, I turn to give Kaito my full attention. "Okay then, Kaito. What else do you have to tell us?"
There was a strange glint in Kaito's eyes as I ask this question. "From what I've been hearing, there's a slight possibility of a girl being a transfer student."
Len and I both turned to each other before turning back to Kaito. "So?"
"W-what do you mean 'So'?"
"Sorry Kaito, but Gakupo and I aren't as girl-crazy as you are." Len said in a mocking apologetic tone.
"Plus, all this fuss over a single girl? It hardly seems worth it."
"Who said there would be just one?" Kaito suddenly had a devious smirk on his lips. This, Len and I knew, meant Kaito had something up his sleeve. He let out a light chuckle, "I bet you both Twenty bucks that all three of the transfer students will be girls."
"Is this an actual wager?" Len said, his interest being peeked. It may not look like it, given Len looks like a model student, but Len is really into gabling. Not that I have room to talk.
"Kaito, you do realize you have to take in the possibility that the rumors could be wrong and there could be less than three students, not only that, but the possibility of one, two, or none of them could be female. That's a 1/8 chance, are you sure you wish to make this wager?" knowing Kaito, he wouldn't back down from this kind of bet. To be honest, I don't know if it's confidence or stupidity.
"Yeah, I'm sure. And before you ask, yes, this means I have to pay you and Len twenty." Kaito then held out his hands to us, "So boys, do we have a deal?"
Len and I exchanged looks with one another, then took Kaito's hand. "You're on!" we both said.
It was around this time that we decided to head back to the dorms of the academy. Getting up from the bench, the three of us started walking back when a question popped into my head. "So Kaito, how long do we have to wait until we get paid?"
"Not long. Tomorrow morning is as long as you have to get your hands on twenty dollars."
I really couldn't believe he was actually going through with this bet. It was ridiculous and- "Those brats left town! What makes the boss think they'd be heading this way?"
"He said to check the area, who knows what we'll find."
"Huh?" I stopped walking and turned my head toward the direction where I thought I had heard someone talking.
"What's wrong Gakupo?" Len asked, taking notice that I had stopped.
"Didn't you hear that?" I questioned. It was loud, like someone yelling in your ear loud. These no way they didn't hear it.
"Hear what?" Kaito and Len shared the same confused look on their faces as they stared at me. Did they really not hear anything? But it was so loud, how come I'm the only one who heard it?
"I-it's nothing. Must be tired, I'm starting to hear things." I laughed it off, and the three of us continued walking.
"Man, my knees are hurting. You know like I've scraped my knee or something." Kaito started complaining.
"You probably were standing in a weird position and it caught on the bench or something, just walk it off." Len and Kaito don't seem to be bothered by it, but I'm pretty sure I heard something. Maybe it was just my imagination.
