A/N - This story uses a lot of fanmades, so if you don't know who someone is than I suggest googling them or going on the Vocaloid wiki. Also, the title of this story was the first thing that popped into my head. One of these days I'll come up with a title before I post a story, but for now you'll have to put up with this.

Rei woke up to the sound of his alarm clock. The black-haired boy rolled over and swatted the noisy device off of his bedside table. It landed on the snooze button, silencing its screech. He looked down at it for a second, then rolled back over.

Just a few more minutes, he thought. I can sleep for a few more minutes. He woke up to a new screech, one that did not have a snooze button.

"Rei, if you do not get up right this freaking minute we are going to be late!" Rui stood in the doorway to his bedroom, her hands on her hips and a bossy look on her face.

"Go away!" Rei yelled as he pulled the covers up over his head.

"Nuh-uh! We are NOT being late again! Get up!" She yanked the covers off of him, almost pulling him off the bed in the process.

"Fine, I'm getting up! Get out!"

"I'm leaving in five minutes, with or without you," Rui said as she left, taking his covers with her. Rei sighed as he got up and got dressed. He let out a bigger sigh as he walked into the bathroom and saw his reflection. His hair looked like it had exploded while he slept. He grabbed the hairbrush and started trying to tame the mess.

"Rei, are you ready to go?"

"Not quite." Rui walked into the bathroom and watched him struggle with his hair for a few seconds, then snorted and grabbed the hairbrush from him. "Hey!"

"Shut up," she snapped as she turned him to face her. "If you weren't so helpless with this mess you call hair then I wouldn't have to do this." She ran the brush through his hair a few times, then spun him to face the mirror. Rei stared at his reflection.

"How did you-"

"Magic. Now let's go." Rei decided to drop the subject as he grabbed his school books and followed his sister out the door.

"Hey, Rei, did you do your algebra homework?" Rei glanced up from his locker. Miku Zatsune (who, unlike most girls, went by her last name instead of her first) twirled a chunk of her long black hair around a finger as she tilted her head at him. She had a habit of playing with her hair without noticing, but when your hair reached all the way to your knees even when it was pulled up you kind of had a right to mess with it. Rei reached into his locker and grabbed his algebra book.

"Let me guess, you didn't do it," he said as he pulled out the previous night's homework and handed it to her. Her red eyes lit up happily.

"Thanks, you're a life-"

"Good morning, Rei!" Zatsune frowned. Rei was smashed into his locker as Neru Akita glomped him. He couldn't help noticing the face Zatsune was making at him. The black-haired girl made no attempts to hide her extreme dislike of Neru, even though the blond was Rei's girlfriend. She cleared her throat angrily as the blond girl continued to hug Rei and chatter about God-knows-what. Finally she gave up on talking to her friend and turned to leave.

"I'll give this back to you on the way to third period, okay?" Rei nodded to her before she left. Zatsune practically stomped into her first period class. She headed to her seat, which was right behind where Rei usually sat. As she pushed her bag under her chair she noticed that a stranger sat in the seat next to Rei's. It was a girl, with long blond hair pulled back in a ponytail and wide green eyes. She was wearing glasses, which made her eyes seem even bigger, and jumped slightly when Zatsune spoke to her.

"Hi, I'm Miku Zatsune, most just call me Zatsune. Who are you?"

"I'm Lenka Kagamine. Um...nice to meet you." Zatsune noticed that the girl's hands were shaking slightly. Was she scared? That would be a first. Even though she had pitch-black hair and scarlet eyes, Zatsune was not a very intimidating person.

"Why are you so shaky?" The girl glanced down at her hands, then folded them together in her lap.

"I'm...not good with people. I don't like being surrounded by strangers." Zatsune smiled.

"I don't think anyone likes being surrounded by people they don't know. But don't worry, I'll help you out." The girl looked up at her and frowned.

"You just met me, you don't even know anything about me besides my name." Zatsune shrugged and sat down in her seat.

"You seem like a good person to me. You don't look like an ax-murder or a serial rapist, so I think we'll get along just fine." Lenka's lips curved up in a small smile, but before Zatsune had a chance to say anything else she noticed Neru walking through the door. She glanced at where Lenka was sitting. Oh crap, she's in Neru's seat, she thought. Before she had a chance to warn Lenka, the other blond noticed.

"Um, what are you doing?" Lenka looked up at Neru.

"I'm...sitting here?" Neru gave the smaller girl a patronizing smile.

"And you're simultaneously stealing my spot. I suggest you move." Lenka hesitated. "There are plenty of empty desks over there, sweetie," Neru said as she pointed to the other side of the room. Zatsune's eyes narrowed. Neru sounded like she was talking to a four-year-old. "I'm not joking. Get up-"

"Leave her alone." Neru's head jerked toward Zatsune.

"This isn't any of your business. I suggest you-"

"Neru?" All three girls looked toward the voice. None of them had noticed Rei walking into room and over to them. His yellow eyes flicked from one face to another before settling on his girlfriend's. "What's going on?"

"Oh, hey! I was just talking to the new girl here, just a little misunderstanding." She gave Lenka a sudden smile, and Lenka realized that the other blond was just being nice for this black-haired boy. "She was just about to move, right?" Lenka bit her lip, then grabbed her bag and stood up.

"I'm sorry." Zatsune's head jerked toward Rei, and red eyes stared into yellow ones for a moment. Then she too picked up her stuff and stood. She followed the blond girl across the room, and when Lenka found a desk that wasn't occupied Zatsune took the one behind it. Rei watched them sit down, then turned to Neru.

"Who's that?" Neru glanced over at the other blond as she sat down in her seat.

"Just some new girl, I didn't catch her name." She tried to start her chatter again, but Rei interrupted her.

"Does Zatsune know her?"

"How am I supposed to know?" Neru snapped. "Have you ever considered that your friend might be into girls? Maybe it's 'love at first sight'." Rei's head whipped toward her. His face looked calm, but his eyes burned with anger.

"Don't talk about Zatsune like that," he practically growled. Neru's attitude pulled a 180 degree turn as she realized that she'd hit a nerve.

"I'm sorry, I didn't-"

"You don't know Zatsune at all, so don't even mention her if you're just going to say stupid stuff like that." Neru's eyes narrowed, and for a second she felt the strong urge to slap her boyfriend. She decided to pull a different string. Her yellow eyes filled with tears as she looked down at the floor.

"I'm sorry, but how am I supposed to get to know her when she hates me? All I do is try to be nice to her, but she won't warm up at all. And now she's going to turn that other girl against me as well." Rei looked at her, then at the wall. He felt so frustrated with her sometimes, he didn't even know why they were still together. "You don't hate me, right?" Her voice was so sweet that it made him want to gag. He finally looked back at her.

"No, I don't hate you." Neru smiled and leaned over to give him a quick kiss. A mere second later the teacher walked in, a few minutes late as usual.

Zatsune let out a long sigh as she walked into seventh period. It was the last class of the day, and she had it with Lenka. She had been helping the blond all day, finding her between periods so that she could help her find her next class before quickly running to her own room. It was a bit stressful, but she couldn't stand the idea of the girl wandering the hallways alone. She noticed Rei and froze for a second, then smiled as she realized that Neru didn't have this class with them. She then frowned as she realized that the teacher in this class insisted on everyone sitting in alphabetical order, going left to right across the rows. Weird guy.

"Hey, Rei!" Rei glanced up. He merely blinked as Zatsune and Lenka walked towards him. "You remember Lenka, right?" Zatsune couldn't help tilting her head as she asked. Rei glanced at Lenka and nodded. The blond girl took a step back and bit her lip nervously. This boy was Neru's boyfriend. She didn't want to risk that girl's anger again. Zatsune looked back at her and grinned. "There's nothing to be scared of. He doesn't bite." The bell rang and was closely followed by the teacher's voice.

"Sit down, miss Zatsune."

"Play nice, you two!" Zatsune whisper-yelled as she walked to the back of the room. The teacher glanced up and noticed Lenka.

"Ah, miss...Kagamine, yes?" He glanced down at some papers on his desk. "You'll be sitting next to mister Kagene. Try not to eat him." Lenka's eyes widened as she stuttered.

"W-w-what?"

"Just sit down," Rei muttered. She glanced down at him, then took her seat. The teacher walked to the front of the class and started talking about something that flew right over Lenka's head (algebra, her schedule said). After just a few minutes another teacher came in and spoke to theirs. He frowned, then turned to the class.

"Please excuse me for a minute. Try to keep the noise down to a dull roar." The two teachers left, and a low hum of chatter started as soon as the door closed. Lenka looked back at Zatsune, who guestered at Rei and moved her hand like she was using a sock puppet.

What? Lenka mouthed.

Talk to him, Zatsune mouthed back. Lenka looked at Rei. The black-haired boy was staring pointedly at the wall, ignoring her gaze.

He scares me, she mouthed at Zatsune. This got her an eye-roll from the red-eyed girl. Lenka turned back around and glanced at Rei again, then looked at the board. A minute turned into minutes, and as time dragged by she got bored. Lenka crossed her arms on her desk and laid her head down. For a while she just thought about the day, turning over all that had happened in her mind. Her eyes closed as she dozed off.

Rei kept his eyes fixed on the wall for several minutes, then they slowly wandered over to the blond sitting next to him. He had to admit, she was kind of cute, in a quiet-little-smart-girl kind of way. She was one of those girls that looked good with glasses. He reached over and carefully wrapped his fingers around the corner of her frames. Her mouth twitched, but she didn't wake up as he gently pulled the glasses off of her face. Zatsune watched him from the back of the room, her eyes narrowed. Rei glanced back at her, and for the second time that day red eyes stared into yellow. He broke the staring contest and glanced at Lenka as he slid her glasses into the pocket of his jacket. With glasses, she was cute. With them off, she was kind of... pretty? The teacher walked back into the room just before the bell rang.

"Have a good day! We'll finish the lesson tomorrow," he said as students poured out of the room. The bell woke Lenka up, and she looked around in confusion as she tried to remember where she was.

"Where... my glasses..." She felt around on her desk and the floor, her eyes widening with panic.

"Hey, Lenka." She looked up and squinted slightly as she struggled to see who was talking to her.

"Zatsune?" The black-haired girl nodded, then realized Lenka probably couldn't see the action.

"Yeah, it's me," she said as she grabbed Lenka's bag and handed it to the blond. "I know who has your glasses." Lenka looked up in confusion.

"Who?" Zatsune grinned.

"A certain mister Kagene..."

Rei opened his locker and started shuffling through his books. People pressed against him, some almost shoving him into the lockers as they struggled through the crowded hallways.

"REI KAGENE!" The busy hum died down a bit as some of the people around him stopped to see who had yelled. He turned to see Lenka pushing her way through the crowd toward him. The blond slammed into him, knocking him back against the lockers. If she was embarrassed she didn't show it; at the moment she just looked ticked off. Her face was a mere inch from his, and he realized with some amusement that she had to be that close to see him clearly. "I know you have my glasses, Rei. Give them back!"

"Why would I have your glasses?" He noticed that the hallway around them had cleared a bit as people formed a ring to watch. Nosy teenagers. Zatsune was at the very edge of the ring, watching with a wide grin on her face.

"Give them back, now!" His eyes flicked back to Lenka. He slid a hand into his pocket and felt her glasses.

"I don't have anything of yours."

"Liar!" Okay, this girl was hot when she was mad. A smile played across his mouth as he pulled her glasses out.

"Unless, of course, these are what you're looking for?" His hand shot above his head as she tried to grab it. Rei easily held her glasses just beyond her reach as Lenka struggled to grab them. "If you want them back, you're gonna have to do something." Lenka stopped and crossed her arms.

"Like what?"

"Kiss me." Rei heard a gasp from the ring and assumed it came from Zatsune. He didn't really know why he had said what he just did, but it was too late to go back now. Lenka's eyes narrowed as she considered kicking this arrogant jerk where no guy wants to get hit. Her hands curled into small fists as she glared at him. Zatsune took a step forward.

"Rei, don't-" She stopped as Lenka suddenly jerked forward and kissed her tormentor. It happened so fast that it would require high-speed cameras to show the moment of contact. Rei was surprised, and offered no resistance as she pulled his arm down and snatched her glasses. The blond put her glasses back on, and as she looked around she realized how many people were watching. A faint blush crept onto her cheeks as she shoved her way through the crowd and walked down the hall. The crowd dispersed, and Rei turned back to his locker.

"Rei Kagene, what the heck was that?" Zatsune was shaking with rage. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"Why did you make her do that? It was downright mean." He didn't answer. He stared at his books as he played the last few minutes in his head. He didn't really know why he did what he did.

"Neru saw it. You're gonna reap a freaking whirlwind for this," Zatsune growled. Rei looked around. His girlfriend was nowhere in sight now.

"Why do you care? You don't even like Neru."

"I also don't like players!" His head jerked torwards her.

"I am not-"

"You have a girlfriend! You don't kiss other people when you have a girlfriend! Don't you understand anything?" She let out a shriek of frustration and turned away.

"Zatsune-"

"Leave me alone!" she yelled. Rei watched helplessly as his friend stormed off. In less than five minutes, he had successfully ticked off three girls. His phone was going to get quite a workout tonight as he did some damage control.

Rui stared at him when they got home.

"Oh, let me guess, you're mad, too?" She didn't say anything, just went to her room and closed the door. Rei picked up his cellphone and flopped down on the couch. The first one he called was Zatsune.

"I don't want to talk to you."

"Then why did you answer the phone?" He heard a low growl from her.

"Listen, Zatsune, I wasn't really thinking earlier. I didn't mean to cheat on Neru, I just wanted to see if Lenka would actually do it. I was... being stupid, I guess." He heard a snort.

"Being stupid? You are stupid if you would even think of doing something like that." There was a pause. "Hey, Rei? Can I ask you something?" She didn't sound very angry anymore, which was quite a relief.

"Sure."

"What do you think about her? Lenka, I mean."

"What do I think about her?" Rei stared up at the ceiling. "I dunno. Why do you ask?"

"Never mind. I was just..." Zatsune's voice trailed off. "Make sure you apologize to her, okay? Don't make a big fuss about it, cause I think you already embarrassed her enough today, just make sure you tell her you're sorry. You are sorry, right?" Rei nodded as he answered.

"Yeah, of course. So, are we good?" He heard a small giggle and imagined Zatsune playing with her hair.

"Yes, we're good. But if you ever do something like this again, I will put needles in your food." She hung up before he had a chance to answer. Rei stared at his phone for a minute. He knew it would be a lot harder to patch things up with Neru than it was with Zatsune, but he didn't have Lenka's number. He would have to wait until tomorrow to apologize to her, so he took a deep breath and called his girlfriend. The phone rang and rang, but he didn't get an answer. He tried again, and this time it went to voicemail on the first ring. Neru was avoiding him. He gave up and dropped his phone on the floor. He had fixed one problem, and he would fix another tomorrow. Maybe it would be better to give Neru some space and let her calm down.

A/N - Hmm...Zatsune and Lenka... -shot-

ANYWAYS, I'm pretty happy that Len isn't in this story. But then again, Rei and Lenka are both based off him, so he's kinda there...in spirit? I don't know. Baby steps.

There will be a part two to this. I already have it all typed up and ready to be edited, so it will probably be posted in a few days unless I get distracted by Higurashi or something.

P.S. - Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Send some chocolates to the person(s) you love so that he/she/they won't get mad at you while I watch violent anime and contemplate my life.
