Hey everyone, this is a Miku x Rin fanfiction. I decided on this pairing because I don't see many Vocaloid Yuri pairings aside from Miku x Luka. Anyways, constructive criticism is always welcome! Please, no flames though o_o Enjoy!~

I tentatively grasped the brass knocker, and rapped it against the door. The noise was much louder than I had wanted it to be; a thunderous boom echoed throughout the large house. I felt my cheeks heat up and struggled to keep myself from getting flustered. To distract myself from my racing thoughts, I studied the door knocker as I waited. It really was an ugly object; the animal engraved into it closely resembled the appearance of a wild boar. Its wrinkled snout protruded grotesquely from its face, and its ears stuck out on either side of its head.

While I was busy studying the strange knocker, the door was suddenly flung open, and I looked into a pair of startled green eyes. I straightened up hastily, feeling my blush return to my face,

"Er, G-good day, Mrs Kagamine," I managed to say, bowing slightly, "I am here as instructed,"

The woman continued to gape at me. She stood with one hand leaning on the door, a lazy sort of pose; Not one that would be held by someone with such class. Her untidy green hair swung about her lightly-tanned face, and her emerald eyes stared at me blankly.

"M-mrs Kaga-"

All of a sudden this odd person started laughing loudly, clutching her sides and I could see tears at the corner of each of her eyes. When she finally stopped laughing, she looked up at me breathlessly,

"My Dear, I am not The Mistress," she giggled, "I'm simply the maid,"

My eyes widened as I finally registered her old-fashioned black and white dress and apron. I opened and closed my mouth helplessly,

"I-I'm so-"

"No problem, Honey," She winked kindly at me, "You must be the girl here for the Young Mistress,"

I nodded, still barely capable of speech. She turned on her heel then looked over her shoulder at me,

"Follow me, I'll show you to The Master's study,"

Without checking if I was following her or not, she started down the corridor, hips swaying and hair flying everywhere. I gingerly closed the huge door behind me and trotted down the hall after her. As I walked, I looked around, my mouth agape. Old-fashioned gothic wallpaper coated the corridor walls. We passed many ornately framed pictures of stiff-looking family members. I shuddered under their painted glares and followed after the young maid.

She stopped abruptly in front of a mahogany door, and knocked twice. There was a short silence from inside, followed by a masculine, "Come in,"

I walked in after the maid, and she addressed the back of a formidable-looking chair,

"The Recommendation is here, Sir,"

The Recommendation? I thought, resisting the urge to pout. I do have a name, you know! The chair spoke,

"Very well, thank you, Gumi,"

Gumi dipped her head in respect, even though this man obviously couldn't see her, then backed out of the room. As the door clicked behind her, the chair swung round and I found myself staring at a handsome, well-dressed man. He looked to be in his mid-30s, with silky royal-blue hair that fell to his cheekbones. His deep blue eyes studied me for a moment, then he smiled good-naturedly,

"Why, hello there, Miss-" He paused, looking at me apologetically,

"Oh," I stood as straight as possible, smoothing my black pencil skirt, "It's Miku, sir; Miku Hatsune," I bowed and his smile widened.

"Here, do come and sit down," He gestured to a padded armchair sitting in front of his desk. I gently sunk into the leather, and sat on the edge of the seat. While he took his own place, I gazed around his study. The walls were coated in the same ghastly wallpaper as the hall and a few gas lamps hung from the ceiling. Two large windows covered one wall, with huge draping crimson curtains. His desk seemed to be placed exactly in the centre of the two windows. I privately considered if he was a control freak.

"Now, Miss Hatsune," he rested his clasped hands on the desk in front of him and leaned forward slightly, "My name is Kaito Kagamine, master of this household."

I found his whole demeanour intimidating and somewhat mystifying. He spoke so properly and old-fashionably. This place is weird…

I nodded, smiling shyly.

"So, you are here regarding the work position available," He didn't seem to expect an answer, but I nodded again anyway. "You were recommended for this position to me by a good friend of mine,"

He had emphasized the word "good", seemingly without realising it, and I couldn't help but wonder if he meant that they were more than "good friends". But he's married! Besides, Luka doesn't seem to be the type of woman who would do something like that.

Luka Megurine was a friend of my family's, and she used to come to my house to give me maths tuition. She was very beautiful, with long, light pink hair and a slim figure. Her eyes were a pretty cornflower blue and her lips were the shape of a rosebud. I liked Luka. I respected her intelligent, practical manner and her thoughtfulness. She had always been kind to me, and felt she should tell me when a suitable work position came up.

"Ms Megurine has told me that you are a kind and polite girl," Kaito continued. I blushed and let a few strands of teal hair fall into my eyes. An almost sly grin developed on the man's handsome features, "And I shall hold her true to her word,"

For a while we talked about work arrangements. He seemed to be practically giving me the job on the spot. We agreed that I would stay full-time in the Kagamine House, and share a room with Gumi. I was to have Sundays off, and I was free to go home on festive holidays.

"Now, I will let you meet my daughter,"

That's when all my worries and fears came back to me. The job I was applying for was in fact to be a companion to the youngest Kagamine child, Rin. From what Luka had told me, I had learned that Rin was a sick child roundabout my own age, give or take a few years. Apparently, Rin couldn't walk very well, was home tutored and weak. How can I do this? I thought, flustered. I'm so clumsy and ditsy I can barely take care of myself, let alone another child!

While my thoughts were racing, Kaito walked over to a wall and pulled one of many little handles. A bell echoed throughout the house, and a moment later, Gumi appeared once again.

"Gumi, please take Miss Miku to Rin's room," he said, politely.

"Yes, sir," Gumi smiled widely at me, "Follow me, Miss Miku,"

I turned towards the door, and then remembered myself. Quickly, I turned back to Kaito. He was sat back at his desk, studying me again.

"Thank you, sir," I dipped my head as Gumi had done earlier and clasped my clammy hands behind my back.

He grinned, "You're a fast learner," he closed his eyes, content, "Goodbye for now, Miku,"

I nodded and exited the room. She was waiting for me outside the room, leaning tiredly against the wall and smiling,

"So you're gonna be living here now, right?" she gushed, excitedly.

"W-well I guess, though I need to go home first and pick up some-"

"Great!" she beamed then began to walk happily down the corridor, the opposite way to which we had come, "C'mon," she called back, but without turning to look at me. I sighed, but inside I was happy that I had already made a friend.

As Gumi led me through a maze of corridors (all coated in the dreadful gothic stripes), I wondered how I was going to ever find my way around this place. We continued walking seemingly forever until I began to hear young voices floating down the corridor.

"That's the young Master and Mistress that you can here," Gumi informed me, nodding wisely. She had already taken it upon herself to act as my tour guide, and pointed out which room was which as we walked.

"Oh and by the way," She looked at me strangely, "I'm sorry that I was the one who opened the door to you. It should have been Gakupo, our butler, but he's out on an errand with the Mistress,"

I tried to process her odd words, "It's… okay?" Why would I care about something as silly as that? I thought. Is this how these people live?

Gumi stopped suddenly outside a door so that I almost walked into her.

"Well, Miku, this is Miss Rin's room," With that, the peppy maid opened the door. That was when I saw my client for the first time.
