Hidden Behind the Light

Chapter 1: Enter the Darkness

There is light inside us, we may not be able to see it but its there. Whenever someone passes away the light inside us helps us go to heaven. Sometimes when a spirit passes away darkness engulfs it and therefore causes it to become a monster or what we call it a siren, once it's at that stage it can never go back.

"LEEEEN-CHAAAAN!" I slowly open my eyes to see my sister Rin smiling down at me. "What now Rin?"I manage to yawn out.

"We have to go to the park to meet up with the others remember?"

"GAH! I forgot!" Quickly I scramble out of bed and get dressed. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Rin just smirks and says "Well I was going to but then I heard you moaning out Miku-chan's name so I decided not to. So instead I recorded you sleeping! Want to watch the video?" A blush crept to my cheeks. "Rin give me the video!" I yell tackling her.

"Now now dear Lenny Miku won't approve of the position we're in." Rin states shaking her head in a no motion. "RIN!" Rin just sticks her tongue out at me and runs off "NEVER LENNY SEE YOU THERE!"

"RIN!" I yell chasing after her.

Once we got to the park I was still trying to catch Rin but she was too fast for me to catch. Rin just smirked and went to where the group was.

"Miku-chan! Len's trying to rape me!" Rin tells her hiding behind her.

"Liar!" I yell trying to grab the video from her. I swear sometimes my sister can be a pest.

"Rin-chan what did you do to Len-kun now?" Miku asks tilting her head a little. Rin just gave a sly grin. My face turns red as I realize her motives. "Well I recorded something pretty interesting this morning but Len here doesn't want anyone to see it especially a certain someone."

Not realizing Rin's hint she just stares at her in question.

This is Miku Hatsune. She's the kindest out of the group, she's also the densest. She's not one to realize things like love that quickly. Rin insists I have a crush on her which I kind of do but I won't tell her. Why? Simple, I don't trust Rin with that kind of stuff. You see if she finds out you have a crush on someone she'll constantly urge you to confess or do something and if you don't she'll do it for you or she'll drop hints to the person like she's doing now.

Oh right I forgot to tell you about Rin. Well, she's my twin but we aren't alike in some way. You see Rin's stubborn, sometimes annoying, hyper, nosey and loud …..Yup that sums her up. She is nice and will try to help you or cheer you up when you're down or something. She's a good friend and sister but sometimes she get too out of hand.

"Honestly Miku you can't be that dense can you?" A spunky brunette states.

That's Meiko Sakine. She's only normal when not holding a bottle of sake or in a bad mood. She doesn't do anything to us just Kaito…. I'm not saying she's exactly nice to us when she's drunk but it's not as worse like with Kaito. She has done some things to us in the pass when she was drunk like cut Miku's hair, spill sake on Rin's bow, shoved Kaito in the freezer, bit my arm…and then she smacked Gakupo in the head.

"What do you mean?" Miku just asks back.

"Nothing..KAITO STOP CHASING THE ICE CREAM MAN!" Meiko yells at a blue headed guy.

That's Kaito Shion. He's an ice cream addict as you can see, the only thing he's addicted to more than ice cream is Miku. Yes Miku he seems to have a crush on her too and he knows about mine. See I get along with Kaito more than anyone in the group well except Miku and Rin, so I tell him things that other people don't know. Call it girly or not but that's how strong our bond is. Yeah we are rivals in the whole romance area but we're still good friends.

"B-but he has ICE CREAM!" Kaito pouts. O yeah did I also mention he's the life of the party in the group, he's even more hyper then Rin.

"Kaito just give it up before Meiko's temper rises and she creams you." A pinkette sighs.

That's Luka Megurine. She's the same age as Kaito, Meiko and Gakupo and the most mature. Rin looks up to both her and Miku. The only weird thing about her is her obsession with fish, more specifically tuna. Believe it or not she's one of the few normal ones in the group.

Kaito just cringes at the thought of becoming pulp in Meiko's hands. "Maybe you're right."

"WAIT! Where's Gakupo and Gumi?" Rin asks sweetly?

Luka gives Rin a smile and says "Gakupo's busy running a few errands for me and Gumi's sick."

Miku then turns around with a concerned look. "Gumi's sick?"

The pinkette just nods and says "Gumi caught the flu a while back so she can't make it but don't worry Gakupo is taking care of her." At that statement Miku sighs in relief.

Gakupo Kamui and Gumi . They're also the normal ones in the group. They're both the smartest as well. Gakupo seems to have a dying romance for Luka which she constantly rejects. Gumi well she's just Gumi nothing much to say about her.

Finally I'm Len Kagamine. I consider myself to be a normal one in the group of course everyone calls me the shota of the group because of some of my features that resemble Rin's female ones. Hmm I don't honestly have much to say about myself though so I'll tell you about the group.

We are a group of people who specialize in catching sirens and keeping them away so they don't cause harm. We're also in charge of making sure that when a someone passes their spirit isn't devoured by darkness. We're all specially skilled to fight sirens some of us even have special powers.

Meiko Sakine, our warrior of the group she wields the element of fire and a really big sword (taller then herslef). Kaito Shion, he's more of our bait but also tends to join in the fight with his guns. His guns shoot ice cream (which Kaito specifically programmed them to do) but the ice cream is actually made of a sticky substance that will make you un-able to move if hit by it. Miku Hatsune, she is our shield and back up healer but does tend to fight alongside, she controls plants and wields a staff as a weapon. Kagamine Rin, she has the element of ice and wields a scythe, she tends to stand in the side-lines but occasionally helps us. Kamui Gakupo, he doesn't have an element either but he's a trained warrior or as he likes a samurai which wields his all powerful katana. Gumi, she's our healer so she stays alongside Rin. Megurine Luka, She controls wind so she wields fans as her weapons. At last me, I control water and my weapon of choice is my special blade given to me by Miku on my birthday.

A long silence bestowed us for a while.

"So what's the meeting about?" Kaito asks finally breaking the silence.

Luka turned to face Kaito with a serious expression. "Glad you asked Kaito, You see Gakupo sent me a report telling me that a siren has been reported to be seen in the city, more specifically here."

"So you sent us to catch it? We don't have any equipment Luka!" I yell.

Then as if on cue a loud crash came from the woods next to the park.

"Teto said she'll meet us here in a few so for now we'll have to manage with what we have." Luka responded.

"But Luka-san we can't let people recognize us!" Miku yells back at her.

"Don't worry no one will see us especially since that little event now let's go!" With that Luka ran off to the direction of the explosion.

Miku bit her lip causing it to draw some blood. "I'm not sure about this…"

I put a hand on Miku's shoulder and tell her "It's going to be fine if Luka thinks it's ok it probably is."

Miku just looked at me and smiled. "Thanks Len-kun" The next she did was unexpected. She hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. My face turned to a bright crimson.

"Well then let's go!" Kaito interrupted the moment making me give him a small glare.

"Yeah." Miku replies steadily walking next to Kaito.

"So Lenny I saw what happened there….YOU LIKE-MMMPHMM!" I quickly interrupted her rant by covering her mouth with my hand. "RIN shush it!" I whisper.

Rin just nods and I let go of her. "So what are you going to do about your competition there?" she whispers back. Shoving my hands in my pockets I walk a bit faster and reply "Simple, nothing."

Once we arrived at the scene it was not pretty at all. The once green grass now a scarlet color, Bodies piled all over the place, branches spread out, tree's burnt, small fires here and there and the worst part was a beaten and battered Teto lying in the middle of the ground our supplies scattered around her.

Quickly Miku rushed to her tears filling the brim of her eyes.

"TETO WHAT HAPPENED?" Tears dripping on Teto's face.

Teto opened her eyes and looked at Miku "I-it….h-has c-come f-for us…" She coughed in between words.

"Who!" Meiko asks now concerned.

Teto looked at our direction and smiled "U-utau.." and with that she collapsed again.

"Utau?" I mumble to myself now fearing what we might be dealing with may be able to cream us without a try.

Who is Utau? Will Len ever confess to Miku before Rin tells her? Will Teto be ok? Where is Luka in all of this? Find out in the next chapter!
