{Chapter 1: Welcome to Crypton Public!}

Rin's POV

My breath hitched as my foot did a little dance as I chose between stepping forward or going backwards.

People stared from a safe distance and began mumbling and muttering. My foot finally made a decision, stomping the concrete path, forward.

People gasped, hysterically. "Whoa. She finally moved." They walked away when they saw the intense aura beginning to form around me.

Out of my short temper and frustration, I walked straight into the skyscraper-like building, with little confidence and a small smile.

I entered a modern, stylish lobby. High tech, plasma screen tvs plastered on the red, white and black walls. Along with posters and various items. A gift shop/convenience store in a corner, the secretary's desk beside the entrance and a row of escalators, stairs and elevators.

The inside was larger than the outside! Crypton really did outdo the size and the decor of this hospital. And this is the public one! I wonder what Crypton Private would look in the inside...

Whoops! My bad! I didn't know someone would be reading my Diary/Mind!

You must be thinking, 'Who is this girl and who the hell does she think she is, wasting my friggin time?!'

Just kidding.

You would be thinking like this: 'Who is this girl? Why is she so nervous about walking into this so-called building 'Crypton Public'? What is Crypton, anyway?'

Good questions, my good, curious people.

First of all, my name is Rin Kagamine. Why am I so nervous into going into this building you ask? Well, I wasn't supposed to be here. Crypton is a huge company that owns hospitals, food markets, airports, fashion industries and more. Every year they hire 10 more people for each of their markets. They hold a lottery for poor, not-rich people who can't afford to pay for the job. Two lucky people, a boy and a girl, get randomly chosen from the whole country. My friends and family entered me into the hospital lottery and I was chosen.

I became irritated at first because they did it without my permission and I was looking forward into taking over my father's farm when he retires. But of course, my younger, twin brother, Len, was the official heir to the farm.

I was extremely nervous because I was never away from home for more then a day/without my parents.

I realised I was acting really wimpy even though I recently had my 26th birthday. So the next day I left the farm and took a limo, that Crypton sent for me, to Tokyo. At first I was like, 'I'm not going to last a day.'

And I was partly right.

When I arrived at Tokyo, at night, I was blinded by all the lights and the noises the cars gave me a headache. I tried humming a song but Tokyo's traffics truly were legendary. They were LOUD.

I wanted to scream for my Mom and Orange (my dog) but it was too late. The driver dropped me off by my loft and gave me directions to the hospital. Luckily there was a free phone in my room so I called my family. The sound of their voices (even Len's) soothed me a little.

I had no choice but to stay. I couldn't give up such a wonderful opportunity like this.

Now enough of my sob (not) stories and more about Crypton.

Crypton Public is a hospital for people who are sick, were in an accident etc. Crypton Private is a hospital for rich, famous people who have to pay to stay. They are more stylish, pampered and classy over there. Crypton Public and Private each have three buildings.

I get to work in the main! *squeal*

There is six floors in each building, with two wards in every floor. Every ground has a big cafeteria and high quality dressing rooms.

...

Oh no. I feel sick.

"Hey, you blonde! Are you lost?" Snapping out of my unicorn land, I turned around to see the woman behind the counter waving at me.

I walked up to her, feeling queasy.

"You alright? You're a little...pale." She examined me while I did the same.

The woman looked younger than me or she has youthful features. Her curly, magenta hair was tied up in twin 'drills'. She had a small ahoge on the top of her head. Her eyes were a deep fuchsia color that narrowed at me.

"I'm fine...just a little homesick."

She raised a curious eyebrow.

"You don't live here?"

"I just started to..."

Her eyes brightened. She stood up, walked around her desk, then glomped me tightly.

Gasping for air, like a goldfish for a whole minute, she releases me.

"We were expecting you!" She shook my hand, rapidly, "You're Rin Kagamine, right?"

"In the flesh." Squealing, she glomped me again.

"We thought you'd take the main entrance! We never knew you'd take the East Wing!"

"Ahahaha... My apartment block is nearer to the East Wing then the South."

"Oh, that explains... So are you lost?" She walked back to her desk and sat down.

"Yeah, sorta. Uh...where is Sakura Ward?"

"You work there? You're lucky! Sakura is one of the first wards in Crypton Public/Private! Sakura ward is on the 4th floor, the right side."

"Thanks!" I headed to the elevator before stopping and turning around. "What's your name? I might as well know since we'll be seeing each other a lot."

"Teto. Teto Kasane. I'm not the only secretary of the East Wing. There's Momo Miyamoto. She has straight, long, light pink hair and forest green eyes. Sometimes we swap places with other secretaries for a day or more but that's very seldom."

"Ok. Bye Teto!"

I stepped into the elevator with different people following close behind. I stared at the weight limit sign on the elevator wall. I hope we weren't too heavy.

Eventually we stopped on the fourth floor. I stepped out, nearly tramped alive by a group of humans.

...

Where am I?

I was in a casual, elegant red lobby. There were two doors on each side.

"Sakura is on the 4th floor, right side!" I recall Teto's voice echoing through my mind.

Opening the door on the right, I was nearly run over. By a human on a jet pack.

A green haired girl (possibly a nurse) zoomed past me with an old man on a wheelchair.

"Hel~lo! This is restricted areas!" A girl appeared out of no where with a blue clipboard in hand. Her hair was tied up into twin pigtails on each side of her head. Her hair and uniform were both teal. Her features was like Teto's. But no doubt is she older than me.

"This is a ward." I deadpanned.

"Well, visiting hours are over." She began pushing me out.

"WAIT! I'M NOT A VISITOR! I'M A NURSE! I AM RIN KAGAMINE!" I screeched as my face was smashed onto the wall. The girl loosened her grip on me, twirled me around and did exactly same thing Teto did. Nearly shake my arm off.

"Ahaha! Nice to meet you Rin-chan! My name is Miku Hatsune! I work alongside Luka Megurine, the manager of this ward. Sorry 'bout that! Sometimes people just wander around the hospital like excuse me! But we're doing our job and wards aren't that clean either..."

Chuckling quietly, I let my arm be shaken around.

"Miku!"

The girl jumped in surprise and slowly turned around. A beautiful lady who had long, pink flowing hair stood behind her. Her features and aura made her seem mature. Her azure eyes pierced through my soul. Her brink pink lips twitched into a frown.

"Another one?" She asked Miku while scanning me, "Visiting hours are over, Miss."

"No no, Luka!" Ah, this is Luka Megurine. "She is Rin Kagamine! The new nurse working here!"

I was expecting her eyes to soften a little. Just a little. But they furrowed into a glare.

"Give her a tour and her uniform." With those last words said, Luka walked away.

"She seems...nice...?" I breath out. Miku kept smiling and suddenly materialised an orange, nurse uniform. It had the Crypton symbol on it, coloured in orange with black outlines. The tealed haired girl handed over the piece of clothing, with a wider smile.

"Oh!" I stretched the one piece out. "My favourite color is orange!"

"Oopsies! I nearly forgot the shorts..." Handing over another piece of clothing, she giggled, "...in case you tripped or something..."

"Ha...ha...ha..." I chuckled like a robot, taking the orange, pair of shorts. "So when do I start?"

"Tomorrow. We'll let you settle into your apartment first."

"Okay!"

"Now shall we start the tour around the ward?"

"Yup." I stuffed the uniform into my shoulder bag.

Miku showed me the rooms, operation rooms, janitor closets etc. She showed me the five different lounges that the staff used.

"Here is the dressing rooms! They're not like lounges but you can still relax in them!" Miku scanned her ID card making the huge metal doors open.

Inside there was an endless row of stalls and lockers. Girlish decorations hung around the walls and tables.

"Through the right door is filled with beds in case you need to rest or have a break from your night shift." Miku led me inside one of the ten bedrooms.

In it was a double bed with lilac duvets and pillows. An orchid sat in a crystal vase on a coffee table alongside teen magazines. A flat screen tv sat comfortably on the wall.

"Wow." I sat on the bed making sure it was real.

"Uh huh. No time to rest. I still need to show you the bathroom!" Picking me up, Miku dragged me out the room and out the door.

Once again, we were in the dressing room.

"When you take the door on the left," She gestures at the door, "The shiny bathrooms are there!"

What Miku said was true.

Beyond the left door was polished, black tables with pearly, white and silver sinks. Tropical flowers were in corners or hanging above the ceiling. On the top corner, sat another flat screen tv. A woman and a man were talking about the history of Crypton. The stalls were different colors such as: red, black, white and grey. Some shower stalls were here and there, too.

"Ta~da~!" Miku chirps as she opens one of the stalls.

I gasped for a glossy, white toilet stood there, smelling like a flower shop.

"Oh my god! I love Crypton!" Squealing, I hugged the toilet. And Miku.

Back in the countryside, the toilets were small. Nuff said.

"I love it too! But we should get going to the cafeteria."

Nodding and blushing, I followed Miku out of the bathroom.

After a few minutes of walking we arrived to yet another pair of metal doors. Miku scanned her ID card yadda yadda.

Well...the cafeteria has quite a size...

It looked like a café more than a cafeteria. But larger.

"This is wear you order food. Over there is wear you can get some money out of your bank account. There are a bunch of tables to choose from so feel free to sit anywhere!" Miku orders a single, raw leek and throws an orange at me.

"On the house!" She added with a wink before paying. Miku is so nice...

"So where to next?" I asked whilst peeling my orange.

"Tof tha loungefz!" Miku yelled with a mouthful of leeks.

"What?"

"Lounefz!"

"WHAT?!"

Miku grabbed my hand then spat out the munched up leeks on my palm.

"LOUNGES!" Spit flew onto my face and I was nearly deafened.

"Okay, okay!"

We went into a pretty quiet corridor.

"There are five lounges. The main one has a green door." Miku turned the handle of the main lounge.

When we entered the lounge, different hair coloured girls sat in a circle, around a blue chair. I felt my homesickness rise again. I felt inferior to the other women. They are so pretty while I'm just a lucky, country girl stuck in a city like Tokyo.

"Hello everyone! Sorry to keep you waiting but here is...Rin Kagamine!" Miku announced as she pulled me inside.

"Rin, these are the main nurses of Sakura Ward. They will tell you their names and family back round. Take a seat!"

Miku sat me down on the cushiony, blue chair, in the very middle of the circle. She then sat beside Luka.

I only saw one person that I knew. The green haired girl, but this time she didn't have an old man on a wheel chair.

"Lets start clockwise. I'll go first and Luka will be last! Okay, Rin, my name is Miku Hatsune! My parents died when I was little. A foster family adopted me but they had to move away. They couldn't take me with them. A woman from Crypton found me interesting and adopted me. I was trained to become a professional nurse and well...here I am!" Miku ended her biography with jazz hands.

The next girl looked a lot like Teto. She had hot pink hair, crimson eyes and rosy lips that were stretched into a big smile. She had an ahoge on her head, like Teto. Her uniform was the color of cherries.

"Ho~la~! I'm SF-A2/Miki Miyamoto! I have a younger sister, Momo. She is a secretary of the East Wing." Oh... "I have a single mother. My dad died when me and Momo were 15. I am close friends with Gumi and Ring!"

The next girl was the green haired one. The two sides of her hair was longer than the rest. The front was the longest and the back was the shortest. Red goggles dangled from her neck. She wore a green uniform. She had lime green eyes and French rose lips.

"I am Gumi, short for Megumi, Megpoid! I have two older brothers, Yuuma the oldest and Gumo the middle child. Both my parents are alive. They own the biggest farms in Europe. I am close friends with Miki and Ring."

The girl beside her smirked at me. Her hair was sky blue, her deep sky eyes danced in amusement and her amaranth pink lips drew into a straight line before talking. The color of her uniform was electric indigo.

"The name's Ring Suzune. I have a younger, 22 year old brother, Remy. Both parents alive who own a ski resort in Norway. Close friends with Miki and Gumi."

The girl sitting next to her had long, wavy, light blonde hair with a cat ears hairband. She also had dodger blue eyes and light pink lips. She had a pumpkin coloured uniform.

"I am SeeU Suzuki. I love cats! They are so Kawaii! I have an older brother called SeeWoo. My parents take care of endangered species so they're always out in business trips in Africa or South Amarica. I came from Korea. But I speak Japanese fluently. I am BFFs with Lola!"

The second last woman had the same aura as Luka. She has black chopped hair and ruby red eyes. She has a rather dark uniform. She wasn't emo or goth, she just looked very serious and grown up.

"Pleased to meet you, Kagamine-san. I am Lola Minami. My cousin Oliver Minami works as a doctor, here in Sakura Ward. You might stumble upon him every once in a while. I have a younger sister, Laila and both my parents work in a complicated lab underground Japan. I am 'Bffs' with SeeU."

Everybody turned their heads to Luka. The pinkette stood up and cleared her throat.

"As you already know, I'm Luka Megurine. The manager of Sakura Ward and a very close friend of Miku. I have an older brother, Luki and a younger sister, Lulu. My grandma lives with us and both my parents work for Crypton in different cities in Japan. Now, I'll let all of you bond before we get back to work."

Third Person's POV

All the girls lunged towards Rin. The blonde haired girl laughed alongside them as SeeU and Gumi cracked some jokes. Rin's homesickness melted away with the laughter. Lola's blank expression changed softer until she started giggling too.

Miku looked at Luka as if she's waiting for an approval. Luka nodded. Miku sat up from her chair and jumped onto Ring's back.

Luka glared around the room looking for anything suspicious. They are watching her. They are watching Rin Kagamine.

'Tch. The Council can't even trust the new comer.'

Rin felt it too. Somebody is watching them. Or somebody is watching her.

"Hey! Where is Rin's tickles?" Gumi wondered aloud. The other girls began mumbling between each other.

"Well, shall we find out?" SeeU asked with a mischievous grin.

Before Rin could even move an inch, everybody charged at her and began tickling her.

Rin laughed so hard her sides began to hurt.

Rin's laugh was like the sound of wind chimes. This caused Luka's stoic mask to crack.

A dark silhouette smirked at the sight. The person wandered around the dim room. The only light source came from the computer screen which had the main lounge of Sakura Ward on it.

Chuckling lightly, after seeing Luka Megurine's expression, he closed the computer making the whole room completely pitch black.

The person and Luka shared the same thought:

'Rin Kagamine, the girl that would change everything.'
