Absolute Vocaloid~

Chapter two: Welcome home, sister!

It was definitely the soothing scent of freshly cooked rice that awakened Kaori's mind. Her eyes gently opened and a massive headache greeted her like a biting frosty wind. Kaori slowly sat up and groaned. She noticed a pillow was put under her head, and a thick blanket covered her that's when her mind began to race as she struggled to recall what last happened in her life.

"Don't touch me, human"

Then memories flooded her mind-the fierce look in Len's eyes as he shoved her away with an unnatural strength; the back of her head slamming against the corner of the bed post and then darkness. Angry suddenly pulsed through Kaori's body, her heart pounded and adrenaline spiked her blood. You'd think she was getting ready to run a 5k race with all these emotions, ugh teenagers! The gentle clinking of dishes caught her attention and she quickly looked out the door (well there is no door now thanks to a certain raging Kagamine) to find Len wearing a dark blue kimono, eating a cooked meal at the low set Japanese style table. "That bastard!" she swore under her breath. What was she to do? Kaori thought about killing him, but then she remembered how easily he ripped the door off its hinges (what if he turned into a stone hearted killer and ripped her arms off? Yikes). She managed to pull her thoughts together and jumped to her feet, ignoring her head pain. She wanted Len out, gone or dead for all she cared.

Kaori walked into the kitchen, the whole time her eyes were on Len (she even walked backwards to make sure he wouldn't sneak attack her) she then grabbed a large frying pan and approached the vocaloid. "Okay Len, if that's even your real name, you need to take your robotic ass out of my house" Kaori obviously thought she was tough. Len looked up from drinking his tea, Kaori's jaw dropped-he had not only cooked rice, but prepared a fish along with soup and vegetables. The worst part was, it actually looked very delicious.

The only thought that Kaori had was do robots eat? What the hell. Len stared at the frying pan; "Do you plan on hitting me with that?" amusement tinged his voice. Len Kagamine 1, Kaori 0. "Yes actually" Kaori then swung the metal pan, if she could knock him out and dump his body somewhere, all her problems would be solved (isn't the teenage mind precious?) She pounded the frying pan against his head. Nothing, no reaction, nothing. "HUH?" Kaori frowned and hit him again in a baseball bat swinging fashion. Len casually began serving himself more rice. "WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!" Kaori then took a more wild approach and began hitting the Vocaloid multiple times. Len Kagamine 1, Kaori -3. Kaori then went into the other room and picked up a wooden chair, yes quite a good weapon! "DIE! HAHAHAHA!" I think she took this too seriously; Kaori lifted the chair and hit Len over the head. The chair snapped. Len drank some miso soup nonchalantly in the mean time. "FFFFF" Kaori was quite frightened. "Are you done yet?" Len turned to look at her. Kaori flushed with embarrassment, wouldn't you be if you tried to murder a house guest but failed? "Yes…" she sat down across from him, propping her elbows on the table, and leaning her head on her hands. "About earlier…" Len began. "Oh when you flipped a shit, broke two of my doors, and then tried to kill me, do go on" Kaori snapped slightly. Len nodded, "Hahaha! Sorry about that, I don't know why I acted like that. You see Rin is my twin sister; we've been separated for awhile and I guess I miss her a little" the blonde chuckled to himself-it was the first smile Kaori had seen from him. "A LITTLE? Damn, you'd probably destroy the whole apartment complex if you missed her a lot" Kaori still was on edge, "well that weird manual said you'd act weird upon activation….okay I'm so lost, can you explain to me what you are exactly?" she added while eying the rice hungrily. "I'm a Vocaloid, we're basically programmed for singing" Len began as he served Kaori food without so much as her asking. "I'm the second in the Vocaloid2 series" he showed a red tattoo of 02 on his arm, "I don't remember much from before after you activated me here…but there are more of us, lots more" Len said, his voice was still stern but he seemed to be relaxing a bit. Kaori frowned, "Alright I'm gonna have to give Crypton a call then" she said before beginning to eat. Len froze a bit and placed his chopsticks down, "I'm so sorry for hurting you!" he then bowed his head, "Please just don't send me back to Crypton" his voice shook slightly. Kaori paused and felt a twinge of compassion, "Why? What's wrong with Crypton?" she asked. Len sat up, "I don't know, I don't remember them well enough. I just know that I want to stay here with you…you seem nice" he mumbled the last part quietly. What a change of heart! Kaori felt her face burn up, "Alright, I'm still calling Crypton though, I need information. I'm confused to why you're even here" she gave in slightly, "in the mean time try not to break any more doors…." Len nodded solemnly, "I'll be on my best behavior…" "Kaori" "…Kaori"

The weekend was soon over and Kaori really had to go to school. Only this time she didn't want to, it was nice having Len around. He was still a bit snappy at times but she could tell he had a naturally good heart (despite being artificial). He was very apologetic and insisted on cooking and cleaning but hey Kaori wasn't complaining! That day, the first day Len was left alone, Kaori arrived home unsure of what to expect. She stepped into her apartment to find Len busy in the kitchen-the smell of food almost caused drool to seep from the corners of her mouth. Her attention however was directed to her bedroom door, it had been fixed, along with the closet door. Kaori sighed, she felt completely guilty because she was going to call Crypton-and she was going to send back Len (regretfully, but what would her parents say when they would come home to a teenage boy prancing about?) "Oh! Welcome home Kaori!" Len cheerfully greeted her with a bow. He was now wearing his normal Vocaloid outfit but he had a pink apron tied over it and a head band pushing his spiky blond hair back. Kaori averted her eyes quickly D-damn…he looks so cute! She then thought sinfully of how adorable he'd look in a dress. "K-kaori?" Len smiled and tilted his head questioningly. "Oh right, hello Len um thanks for cooking, it smells wonderful" Kaori straightened up and cleared her throat. "I'm glad! It should be ready soon. You could start your homework in the meantime" Len patted her head before returning to the kitchen. What is he, my mom now?! Kaori pouted, according to his papers, Len was only fourteen. There was a knock at the door. "I'll get itttttt!" Len sung as he skipped off to answer it. Kaori followed Len, feeling slightly embarrassed for him. "A box?" he mused. "NO NO! LEN DON'T YOU DARE BRING THAT IN THE HOUSE!" Kaori recognized that box, it was just about the size of Len's. "WHEEE!" Len grabbed the box as if it was filled with feathers and ran around the apartment with it. "LEN!!!" Kaori chased Len around until he finally stopped and placed the box onto the floor. "Crypton…again….kill me now" Kaori saw the same silver and black letters. Len sniffed the box and then wildly tore into it like a savage animal, "I KNEW IT! IT'S RIN, OH RIN HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!" Yes, Len Kagamine pulled out the inanimate body of Rin Kagamine and hugged her tightly. Rin wore a similar outfit, only it was…girly. She had a big white bow on the headset she wore on top of her short pretty blonde hair. "Rin, I'm so glad you're here" Len began talking to Rin's body. "Okay this is getting out of hand" Kaori mentally slapped herself for not pushing Len out a window or setting his hair on fire-why was another vocaloid here? "Rin? Rin…oh that's right you have to be activated" Len continued to babble to himself like an idiot. "And how do you do that?" Kaori did not like where this was going. "A kiss silly!" Len replied with a big grin. Kaori wanted to throw up, "Wait just a second; I didn't have to kiss you!" "Yeah that's weird, maybe it's because I'm so damn awesome" Len said, the funny thing was he was dead serious. "No, don't you…stop it!" Kaori wanted to close her eyes and look away but strangely enough she just couldn't stop watching. Len Kagamine leaned over his sister's body and pressed his lips against hers, warmth suddenly filled her and her blue eyes fluttered open. He pulled away, "Welcome back….Rin"

Kaori picked up the phone and dialed Crypton, "Hello? I have a problem…"
