A/N before we begin, I haven't written fanfiction in forever, so I decided a good way to get back into it is with VOCALOID I have 20+ characters to choose from, and they can be whatever I want. I thank you for taking the time to read this; I won't make another one of these guys until chapter five. See you all then!

365 days

-Len-

What if you only had three-hundred and sixty five days to live? What would you do? Would you fall in love, and get married? Have children? Become famous? Well I'm not so sure what I'd want to do, but I know what happened. In that one year before the end of life as we knew it. I was only fifteen at the time; from age fifteen to sixteen, I watched the world fall apart.

My name is Len Kagamine, this story begins on my fifteenth birthday, it was winter and the snow coated the ground in a thin white sheet. Two days after Christmas; it is almost nice to have a birthday at that time, because nobody forgets your birthday. All you have to say is "I was born two days after Christmas" and everyone will remember what day that is.

I never got many presents on Christmas, or my birthday, neither did my twin sister, though we had gotten used to it. It was almost fun for a time, getting to open one half of our presents two days earlier. However, by age fifteen I had stopped believing win Santa Clause, Rin, my sister had as well.

We were celebrating calmly with our mother. It was just the three of us, Rin, mother and me. I remember sitting at the kitchen table watching the news, the new news anchor was making her debut. I looked over at my sister, she was wearing a long red sweater, and her blond hair was tied with a white bow, and pinned with white hairclips. She stared intently at the television; her blue eyes were captivated in what the newscaster was saying.

Boredly I looked over and listened to the odd green-haired woman drone on. It was hard to understand her muddled words and figured her bust was the only reason she made it to the news crew. I waited patiently for the cute Korean weather reporter. Her long wavy hair always made my heart smile, well metaphorically.

My mother walked past us to the kitchen, she opened the cake box on the table and pulled out a small white cake.

"Turn that TV off, Rin." She said setting the cake down, I turned and looked at her, Her blonde hair fell over her face and into her eyes, like Rin's they were blue. Though Rin was thicker than my mother, my mother was always very thin. She cut the cake carefully into six pieces. She served a piece to Rin, then me, and then she finally served herself. Rin flipped the TV off reluctantly. She ate her cake slice quickly, obviously wanting to get back to the TV.

I ate slowly, I wanted to pretend that the cake was homemade, like when Rin and I were young, and mom had time to make a cake. She was so busy recently; she had to work so hard to make ends meet. I looked at her and asked a question to break the awkward silence.

"How has your day been?" I asked, she sighed and looked at me with tired eyes.

"It's been long," She said "How was yours?"

"It was fine…" I said meekly.

"Did you have a chance to check the High-School's acceptance list?" She asked. I bit my lip; I didn't want to tell her the truth that I hadn't looked. I was afraid to, I wanted to stay at the same school as Rin, but she was going to an all-girl's school next year. For the first time in all my life we wouldn't be in the same class. Rin was smart, she got straight as in all subjects, was attentive and ready to learn. I was reluctant to pay attention in class; I preferred to stay in my room and play my keytar rather than spend time with other teenagers. Rin however spent her time with friends, studying, and watching dramas on the Korean station.

"He didn't check." Rin said, putting her plastic fork down on her empty plate. "May I be excused?" I straightened my back against the chair and prepared for impact.

"YOU DIDN'T CHECK?" Mom stood up in her seat and slammed her hands onto the table, startling Rin, and me. I closed my eyes tightly and held onto the sides of my chair, my knuckles white because of my grip.

"I forgot OKAY!" I said opening my eyes and glaring at her.

"YOU FORGOT!" She screeched, "I REMINDED YOU FOR WEEKS!"

"Well, I forgot anyway!" I whined

"I NEVER!" Her face turned white and she yelled aloud "AAUGH!"

"I could go with him, to check the listings." Rin suggested, taking her leave form the table, putting her dish in the sink and her fork in the trash.

Mom sat back down and sighed "Fine, why don't you two do that? I need to get ready for work, keep your phones on."

"I'll take your dish." I said, picking up Mom's cake. I rested it in the sink and tossed her fork in the trash.

"Make sure you dress warmly, its cold out." She said as she retested her head in her hands pensively. I nodded and ran to my room. Leaving my unfinished cake alone, and forgotten. When I got o my room I pulled on a yellow sweatshirt over my white T-shirt. I pulled on snowpants over my jeans. I added a layer of socks onto the ones I was already wearing... I slipped a black windbreaker coat over my sweatshirt and zipped it halfway up. I pulled on black gloves and a blue knit-beanie. I gently lifted my Keytar off of its stand and rested it into its case; I locked the case and swung the strap over my shoulder.

I stepped out of my room and to the front of the house where I found Rin lacing a pair of leather snowboots over a pair of brightly coloured socks, and bright pink snowpants. She looked fashionable, even in her winter wear, always in bright colours, and always wearing the nicest makeup. Sloppily I tied my own rubber boots over my feet. I clumsily stood up and reached out for Rin.

"You have your Phone right?" She asked

"It's in my jeans' pocket," I said "You have yours?" I asked her, she patted her own pocket. "Let's go then" I smiled. She took my hand and pulled herself up. Over her hands she slipped a fluffy pair of light blue mittens.

"I'm going for the 'colourblind' look' she laughed, waving her hands over her outfit, form her striped green hat to her fur lined yellow-jacket, pink pants, and brown shoes. She looked like a sharpie highlighter set.

"Come on, Colour-blind-san, we gotta get there before it gets dark, where's Mom?" I asked. My older twin closed her eyes to remember.

"She left, not more than ten minutes ago; she gave me the house key and wants us to lock up."

"Okay then." I nodded opening the door for Rin, "You first. Colour-blind-san." Rin stuck her tongue out at me and walked out the door onto the snowy sidewalk. She held her hand out and caught the gently falling snowflakes.

"Grab my umbrella, we may need it." She ordered, I complied, like a good submissive little brother. I handed it to her as I left the house. She opened the umbrella and held it over her head. I didn't bother, if I got wet I got wet. No big deal. I walked slightly behind Rin, letting her skip ahead; I slouched and put my hands in my pockets.

"You'll be going to the same school as Piko if you get in." Rin stated, looking back at me, her blue eyes figuratively smiling.

Great I thought, just what I wanted, to be in the same school as my sister's boyfriend. Not that i minded Piko, he was cool, and sweet, but it was weird, he was almost a year older than her. She was still in junior high, and here he was, almost a sophomore in high school. It was weird to me, and I couldn't imagine it working. Though they got along just fine, perfectly in fact!

Maybe I just got sick of listening to her text him every five seconds…

"How long before we get there?" I asked picking my pace up and walking side-by-side with Rin. I paused then asked "How do we get there?"

"You don't even know where it is?" Rin exclaimed her mouth dropped open in surprise. "GOD! Do I have to do everything for you!" she clipped the back of my head playfully with one of her fists. I ducked, but failed to dodge.

"Ouch!" I whined rubbing the back of my head.

"Don't you worry Lenny-boo-boo, I'll get you there, just hold my hand~" She sung, I almost wanted to punch her in the face, but I knew she was just teasing, and she was my sister, I couldn't just hit her. Not without a really god reason. I just scrunched my face up and glared at her while smiling, so she knew I wasn't really mad. Rin laughed heartily. And she broke into a run ahead of me.

"You gotta keep up Lenny-boo!" She called out as she turned around briefly. I ran after her as fast as I could while carrying my keytar. It wasn't hard to catch up to her; I had longer legs than her. Being twins doesn't mean we always have to have the same proportions, especially when your twin is a girl and you are not.

Rin skidded to a halt in front of a school surrounded by a brick wall.

"Here it is the acceptance list." She nodded. I took in deep breaths, just because I had long legs, it didn't mean I was athletic. I watched as she looked over the newcomers list.

"Kagmine, Kagamine..." She muttered under hear breath looking for my name.

"Doesn't look like it-" I was cut off in my statement.

"AHA! Kagamine, Len!" She shouted pointing to my name; I reluctantly walked over and looked at the name, hoping for a mistake in the kanji. However, there it was plain and clear. My name, maybe I wasn't so dumb after all. I sighed in defeat and looked at Rin.

"How long before dark?" I asked, Rin checked her watched carefully

"A few hours," She said "But we shouldn't stay out too long, in case the snow gets worse." She looked up at me and blinked. I smiled and grabbed her hand.

"Kay then!" I said happily, dragging her along. Her eyes became wide with shock, I had this one last evening to spend a birthday alone with my sister and I was going to take it. I ran as fast as I could and still keep a hold of Rin to the park in between the school and our house. I stopped with a jolt and took in deep breaths.

"Why are we here?" She asked folding her umbrella.

"Do you remember this park?" I asked smiling "We visited her when we first moved to Tokyo," I smiled

"Ten years ago." Rin added, she smiled and ran up to the nearest bench. She wiped the snow off both sides and sat down. I sat next to her, I swung my keytar case off of my shoulder and turned it on, and lightly I began to play the Pokémon opening. Rin laughed and sang along, and I sang with her. I teared up at the memories it resurfaced.

Suddenly Rin stopped singing. I stopped playing and looked at her confused.

"Len… where are all the people?" She asked. My heart sank, and my phone rang. I carefully picked it up, relived to see it was only Mom calling.

"Mom?" I asked "what is it?"

"Len?" She asked, "Oh thank God." She sighed; I could hear her heavy breathing on the other side.

"Mom?" I asked even more intent to figure out what was wrong.

"Is Rin with you?" She asked

"Yes." I said, biting my lip. I didn't like where this was going. I waited for her reply.

"Len?"

"Yes mom?"

"Run" I almost dropped my phone.
