Oneshot #1: I'm Lost!
"Stupid Meiko! Stupid Kaito! Stupid Miku!" a blonde girl thought angrily as she marched out of the large mansion that holds every Vocaloid and Utauloid ever created. She huffed as she marched to wherever her legs could take her. Hopefully, somewhere far, far away from it all. She stopped in the middle of her tracks.
"And most of all… STUPID LEN! YOU'RE AN IDIOT AND I HATE YOU THE MOST!" Rin cried out so loud that the birds in the forest area had to fly away in fear.
You might be confused as to why Rin would be angry at almost everyone in the Vocaloid family, huh?
It all started this morning. Rin and Len were getting ready for the day when Meiko and Luka walked in with worried expressions on their faces. "Ne, have any of you seen Miku-chan's headphones?" Luka asked, biting her lower lip.
"Which one?" Len replied with another question. He tilted his head to the side, also showing his signature ponytail. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for his sister to finish.
"You know," Meiko spoke up. "the one that Kaito-nii and Mikuo-kun have pulled their allowances together for, for her birthday."
"Oh." Rin looked back at the mirror. She was doing the finishing touches to her hair and bow. "No, we haven't. Miku-nee must've misplaced it again. Knowing her…"
"Rin-chan!" Luka exclaimed, shocked that Rin would say something like that about Miku.
"What? It's true! Remember the last time she borrowed your compact mirror? You've been looking for it the whole week and somehow you found it in Gakupo's stuff!" Rin pointed out, shrugging at the thought of it.
Luka contemplated it for a moment. "That or Gakupo, being the pervert that he is, took it since it is Luka's." Meiko said with a huff. And so, then there was Meiko's point in the matter.
"Why not check Kaito-nii's stuff. If it's the same with Gakupo then it might be there." Len suggested.
"I ransacked his room earlier today. He wouldn't open the door so I had to bring the door down. The rest was so wild and crazy I'm sure you wouldn't want to know."
Len raised a brow at this. He turned to Luka. "I asked Miku-chan to get Kaito to the nearest ice cream shop to cheer him up while Meiko cleans the mess." Luka explained.
Meiko groaned a bit. She pointed her fingers together and had a face that said 'too-lazy-to-do-it'. "After I find Miku's headphones."
"Well, I don't know about you guys but me and Len share the same room. And if we were ever going to pull a prank, it's either we do it together or we don't do it at all." Rin stated bluntly with a hint of pride in it. They were an almost exact copy of each other. She was looking for her hair clips in the drawer. She reached out a bit more. She couldn't find the last one. She felt something else and grabbed it. She lifted it out to see it clearly.
"Ah!" Luka exclaimed. "Those are Miku-chan's headphones!" she pointed to the things Rin was holding. Sure enough, it was Miku's since they had the initial M. H. written on both ears in bold teal green letters.
"B-b-but I didn't steal them!" Rin defended. Len looked worried.
"Are you sure you didn't borrow them from Miku-nee without asking?" Len tried to make sure. His brows were furrowed and his face looked kind of sad and angry at the same time.
Rin looked at him. Her own mirror image was asking her if she stole Miku-nee's headphones. Why would she want them anyway? I mean, of course, 'Green is the Enemy' and all but that never meant Rin would do something as nasty as steal. "Of course not, Len! Are you accusing me of taking Miku-nee's headphones?"
"We're not accusing you of anything, Rin!" Luka spoke up. She wanted this to be done fairly and calmly. "Maybe you borrowed Miku-chan's headphones and forgot to give them back."
Rin scoffed. Say what? "I am not like Miku-nee who forgets things!"
"Why do you always blame Miku-nee, Rin?" Len felt himself getting angrier at that moment.
Rin was once again shocked by her own brother. "Why are you always on her side, Len?" Rin shouted back at him, every bit of anger added to it. Len went silent, he even looked down. Rin took this silence as his choice. She dashed angrily past Meiko and Luka towards the door but not before stopping at the entrance of the room, throwing the headphones at Len's head and shouting "Len, you're an idiot!"
So now, we find her again in the mini forest that was added along with the house. She pushed a low-lying branch away to walk forward and then let it swing back in place. What she would do there, she didn't know. Maybe this place could help her clear her mind off of things or most likely, her anger. After all, she was very sure she didn't steal, borrow or take Miku Hatsune's precious headphones.
Rin knew what it was like to have something important to you. She remembered the hair clip Len gave her or their birthday. It came along with the white bow headband. She cherished it so much that she'd wear it everyday. She touched her bangs, hoping to feel the orange designed hair clip. It wasn't there! Rin started to panic. Had she lost it in the woods? She started to turn around to go back for it but remembering this morning just made her go head straight forward to the inner forest.
"Forget the clip!" Rin though angrily. Stomping forward, not caring if there were twigs broken or leaves cracked or ripped. "See if I care id that hair clip is gone."
She then found herself with a whiff of flowers and the greatest sight to behold in a mini forest. A meadow filled with blooming flowers. Breathtaking was most probably the only word Rin could think of to describe it. There were lilies, daisies, roses; heck there were even dandelions springing up from the different corners of the meadow.
Rin couldn't help but run through the thick blanket of flowers. She twirled round and round and finally landing –not so gracefully- on the soft flower and grass bed making puffs of pollen and some dandelion feathers fly upward. She laughed a laugh that nearly filled the whole meadow. It was childish of her, sure; but she could always get used to things like this… things that were far away from stressful stuff.
Rin had fallen asleep for a good few hours. Walking around the forest can really be tiresome. When she woke up though, she felt both lousy and angry at the same time. One was because she actually dreamt about Len and the second was because he looked sad, real sad.
Her arm was on her forehead and she could see the almost orange color of the clouds. Sunset. Maybe it was a good time to head back but when something catches your eye, you can't help but get the feeling of curiosity and follow it or at least, try to see what it was.
That's what exactly happened to Rin right now. A bunny was actually nuzzling on her face. Not to mention that it was white with red eyes. "And what do you want lil' guy?" it wasn't an angry tone nor a happy one… it was just neutral.
The bunny turned around so it's fuzzy tail was the one facing Rin's face. "Crud." Rin immediately sat up. "You weren't going to pee on me, were you?" she asked the rabbit. The rabbit turned its head to face her. Rin face-palmed. As if rabbit's could talk!
The rabbit fully faced again and wiggled its cute button pink nose. Rin grimaced as she put her hands on her hips. "I see you want to lead the way, don't you?"
To answer that question, the bunny turned around and hopped the way forward. Rin looked around and then back to the rabbit. "I'm lost…" she muttered wide-eyed. The bunny wiggled his nose again. "I'm lost!" Rin cried out. She sighed to herself and looked back at the rabbit. "Alright then, since I'm lost and don't know where to go, go ahead."
Rin followed the bunny as it hopped through the forest. Suddenly, it stopped and looked at Rin. It wiggled its nose again. Rin thought that maybe it wanted something. Rin bent down. "What is it?" The bunny wiggled its fluffy tail. "Umm, I don't know anything about fairytales though but I could tell you about the Vocaloid house."
That sounded good enough for the rabbit. They both walked all the while Rin telling stories of the funny Vocaloid home. She told it about how she felt when Luka thought she stole Miku's headphones and when Len accused her of taking them. It made her red faced angry that Len would choose Miku's side over hers. The bunny just wiggled its long ears, yearning to hear more. Rin felt her bangs again and her eyes drooped a little. The clip's still gone.
"My clip." Rin muttered sadly. The bunny turned to look at her. he just stopped there. Rin tilted her head. "What's wrong?" when Rin moved forward, the bunny took a leap backward. Rin moved forward again, her eyes focused on the rabbit.
"what has gotten into you?" Rin stomped her foot. That's when she could feel no earth under her. "Aaaaaaahhhhh!"
She fell into a hole. Yes folks, a deep hole.
She fell down but not without catching a few scratches and bruises, no thanks to the slightly jagged rocks. "Ouch! That hurts!"
The bunny poked a small pebble and pushed it towards the hole and let it fall hard to Rin's face. Rin managed to dodge it. "What the-? The rabbit tried to kill me!" she exclaimed angrily, ranting on about telling Gumi to stop digging holes. The bunny hopped away. It might've been her imagination but she was sure she heard somebody or something snicker.
"RIN! Rin-chan! Where are you?" Len shouted at the top of his lungs. Where could she be? He was worried. And he felt a little guilty. Okay, a lot guilty. Rin didn't steal them after all.
Okay, so this morning, he was angry at Rin. 1. For not telling him about her prank –true or not anyway- and then for blaming Miku if she did do it.
Right after Rin left angrily that afternoon, Miku came in with Kaito -who, by the way, was eating ice cream. Meiko showed Miku her headphones and explained that they found it in Rin's drawer. Miku's reaction was all too surprising. She palmed herself on the forehead. "So that's where I left them!" Miku was so happy she remembered as she took the headphones from Meiko.
Luka raised a brow. "Excuse me?"
Miku's face blushed with embarrassment. "I totally forgot that I went to Rin-chan's room to borrow her orange hair clip for the recording and left my headphones to remind myself to tell Rin that I had to return her clip." Miku searched her pocket and produced a hair clip with an orange design.
The others heard a door slam and saw the chair Len was sitting on fall down.
And now, we find Len relentlessly running the whole area and perimeter of the mini forest just to find one girl. "Rin!"
He looked from left to right and still no sign of her. by the time he stopped to rest, he was already panting. "Where are you Rin-chan?" he thought frantically.
"HEY CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?"
Len's eyes widened. It was Rin's voice. He shouted back "Rin! Rin, where are you?"
Dead silence.
He ran faster through the forest, not minding the scratches he got from the low-lying branches. He stopped when he saw a bunny lying near a hole. He tried to stay quiet but an evil twig snapped and the bunny raised its head. Len froze.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the bunny hop past him. "Rin?" he walked closer to the hole. He saw Rin's body but it wasn't moving. "Rin-chan!" he shouted hoping to get an answer.
"U-u-urusei, baka." Rin replied in a shaky voice. She was shivering. Not surprising since it was almost night time but Len relaxed.
"Ne, Rin! Grab my hand and I'll pull you up." Len reached out his hand. Rin could just climb half way up. He knew her. She was strong. Although, if only he were a bit taller he could be able to reach Rin in a second.
"Daikirai!" Rin folded her arms and looked away. Len huffed. C'mon, he was worried about her safety and all she can say is she hates him.
Len sat down near the edge of the hole. "Aren't you cold?"
Rin went silent for a moment. Of course, she was. "I don't care."
Len silently sighed. He hoped he could at least apologize properly inside the house but it's now or never. He carefully swung one leg down the hole's edge.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Obviously, you won't come up."
Rin looked down to the ground as she let Len hoist her up on his back. She clung carefully to his neck, making sure she wouldn't fall. When they reached the top and Len put her down gently, she went silent. Just… standing there. That's when Len noticed the scratches on her arms and legs.
Len looked at his sister with sympathy. "Sorry Rin. I-" Rin burst out crying. They hurt, a lot. The scratches, the bruises and her feelings. Len tried to move closer to the crying girl, as if to comfort her.
He was then sent flying to the ground. For a small girl, Rin packed a punch. Len stared at her for a moment, shocked. Rin took this as a chance to run but Len quickly got up, grabbed Rin's arm and hugged her from behind. Rin winced on contact. He just touched a sore spot.
"I'm really, really sorry, Rin." Len buried his face in her hair, hugging her tighter.
"Idiot." Rin mumbled, letting her tears flow out as much as they like.
Mirror images? Twins? Lovers? They don't personally care. If one of them was evil, the other would become one too. Forever, they are bound to each other.

OMAKE!:
Miku turned to Luka and bowed really low. "I'm so sorry Luka. I thought Gakupo-san would give you your compact mirror back for me but I was wrong and he kept it for himself. I think he was drunk when I gave it to him though…" Miku placed a finger on her chin. Luka's eye twitched a little. Gakupo was drunk? And he took it from Miku still drunk? But where would he get-?
Luka turned around to face Meiko. "Ne, Meiko."
Meiko gulped. "Nani?"
"Did you by any chance have a drinking contest with Gakupo again?" Meiko started sweating beads of sweat. Now that she mentions it, they did have a drinking contest right when Miku was borrowing the mirror. She slowly nodded.
A vein popped within Luka. "Why I ought to-"
But before Luka could finish her threatening sentence, a loud 'thud' was heard from the front door. Everybody in the living room rushed out to the door. The same question on their minds 'Did Len find Rin?' and most importantly 'Did he confess?'
They opened the door, only to reveal Len trying to crawl to the front porch. Rin was on top of him, her hands were tied around his neck and she looked tired and had by chance had already fallen asleep. Len was still struggling to get up. "A little help…" he gasped for breath. "…please?" he was also blushing for some reason.
Kaito almost took the initiative to help him but was stopped by Miku. "Ne, Len-kun." Len looked up at Miku. "Why are you blushing?"
That just made Len's blush even redder than before. Meiko was the first to understand why. She even had an evil grin on her face. "Ah, I see you've noticed it, huh?" Len blushed even harder.
"I don't care! Just please help me." Len gasped.
"Aww, but they're so soft and small but ready to burst when needed, right?"
Len was still blushing. "Meiko-san, I'd really appreciate it if you don't try to seduce me into doing something Rin and I might regret later on."
Meiko just playfully sighed and shrugged. "Welp, if you say so. But you did say you weren't a shota but a man right? So show us that manly side of yours."
"MEIKO! This is not the time to play game. Rin is really heavy." Len squirmed, trying to get up.
Suddenly, Miku spoke up pointing to the sky. "Hey look! A shooting star!"
Kaito's smile widened. "Not a shooting star, Miku." He put her hand down and pointed up at the sky. "But shooting stars!"
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw that Kaito was right. It wasn't just a shooting star but shooting stars! They were amazed at the sight. Len managed to lift Rin high enough to reach the front porch and put her down gently on the swing. He sat next to her and watched as the stars fell down showing them a show that was never to be expected tonight.
So, that ends the first one-shot. There are more to come in this one-shot series. Anyway, I hope you review. I'd be super happy if you do.
And like I always say during the end of each chapter. If you care, then you will review. Long or short it will be considered a nice gift. If you hate it, tell me why. If you hate it because of my pen name, then buddy you should start knowing me more than just by name.
Other than that, everything review like will be accepted. Flames are good when they are reasonable. If not, I will find you!
