A/N: Here is chapter 4! I feel so proud of this story. /wipes away a single tear/ Read, enjoy, and review!~
This chapter is actually VERY different from what I originally planned. I guess I'll just have the original plan in the next chapter.
-^^-
I do not own Vocaloid.
Today was the day. Today was the day that guys and I would meet whoever these girls were. Oh, by the way I'm Gumo, a new narrator. Len's already told you about me so there isn't much else to say.
Anyway, we were running late to meet whoever these girls were at principal Sakine's office because Mikuo slept in the middle of class and had detention. I swear, that guy is probably the most laid back of us.
"Hurry up! I don't want to be late anymore than we are now!" Dell was at the front running and seemed to be getting faster. He was the most athletic of us and it has served him well over his years as a Prince. He hasn't joined any specific clubs but helps out when they ask him to.
When we finally reached Principal Sakine's office we all took a moment to catch our breath, straightened up to make a good impression, and Rei knocked on the door. Not two seconds later the principal threw open the door and rushed us inside. "Thank god you're here! The girls were starting to get impatient. We were gonna form the band with just them!" When we walked inside we saw that there were eight girls and they looked a bit like us...
Huh? That's weird. They're not screaming, in fact they looked a annoyed that we came. Usually, girls would scream and try to get something of ours, like a button, and go brag to their friends about 'how I met the Princes' or some other crap like that. But these girls were different somehow. We went and sat down and there was an awkward silence.
"Well? Introduce yourselves, girls!" Principal Sakine said suddenly. No one seemed interested at first, then, a girl with long, silver hair that was tied into a low ponytail. Her eyes were purple and she looked like she was the oldest. "My name is Yowane Haku, senior, and the oldest." I am awesome. You see that? I could predict she was the oldest...
I might be getting ahead if myself.
A girl with long red hair stood up next. "I'm Akari Miki, sophomore." As she sat down a girl with dark red, curly hair pinned to the side of her head stood up. "Akame Teto, sophomore." A girl with jet black hair and a white bow stood up and bowed. "I'm Kagene Rui, freshman, and the youngest. It's nice to meet you." She seems like a nice girl. Polite and quiet, unlike that girl Len, Rei, Mikuo, Piko, and Ted told Dell, Nero, and me about. She sounded really pissed, and girls are scary when pissed off. Then a girl with light green hair like mine stood up. I sorta just stared at her while she introduced herself. "Mero Gumi, junior." A girl with long teal hair stood up. "Hakine Miku, sophomore." A girl with sunshine yellow hair and a white bow on her head stood up. "Kagene Rin, freshmen. Some of you know me from earlier." She sat down and crossed her arms. I guess she was the girl the guys were talking about. And last, a girl with long, dark yellow hair in an angled high ponytail stood up. "Kirino Neru, sophomore."
Principal Sakine smiled and looked at us. "Well, why don't you introduce yourselves, too!" Dell stood up. "I'm Honne Dell, senior, and the oldest." He sat down as Ted stood up. "Kasane Ted, sophomore." Nero stood up. "Akita Nero, sophomore." I stood up next. "Megpoid Gumo, junior." I sat back down and tried to watch Gumi's expression. I hoped to leave her with a good expression of me but no. Her expression stayed the same-bored and wanted to leave. I don't know why but it sorta made me feel... disappointed. Rei stood up. "Kagamine Rei, freshman, youngest." Mikuo stood up carefully, like he was going to scare them if he moved too fast. "Hatsune Mikuo, sophomore." Len stood up next. It may be just me but it looked like he was eyeing what's-her-name. Rin, I think. "Kagamine Len, freshman." He sat back down and Piko stood up. "U-Utatane Piko, sophomore." He sighed in relief as he sat down. Piko was the shyest of us and hated introducing himself to new people. Even when all of us became friends, it took him a while to open up to us.
There was an awkward silence now that the introductions were over. Principal Sakine seemed unaffected by it somehow and remained energetic. "Well, now that we all know each other, why don't we try playing a song?" We all just nodded silently. We knew how good our group but we didn't know how good the girls were. "Good. Follow me to the basement. If you want you can bring your own instruments to use but for today just use ours." The principal grabbed a clipboard and a pen. "Now I want you to say your name and what you want to do in the band. Starting with the boys since the girls introduced their selves first. For example, I would say Sakine Meito then whatever I'm going to do. Got it?" We nodded and Principal Sakine got ready to write. He nodded at us to begin.
"Honne Dell, saxophone."
"Kasane Ted, dance."
"Akita Nero, electric piano."
"Megpoid Gumo, dance."
"Kagamine Rei, sing."
"Hatsune Mikuo, sing."
"Kagamine Len, sing."
"Utatane Piko, bass."
As Principal Sakine scribbled down everything he nodded to the girls to go ahead.
"Yowane Haku, flute."
"Akari Miki, electric guitar."
"Akame Teto, dance"
"Kagene Rui, sing."
"Mero Gumi, dance."
"Hakine Miku, sing."
"Kagene Rin, sing."
"Kirino Neru, drums."
Just as he finished writing Principal Sakine grabbed some keys and told everyone to follow him. No one questioned him and we followed him to another room. I wonder where we're going...
(Sakane Meito POV)
This isn't good. This isn't good at all. They look like they don't even want to be near each other. Sigh... I hope that when they play that will change.
After I unlocked the door I turned on the light to reveal a large, spacious room with several boxes. "This was a storage room but after it gets cleaned up it can be a practice room. It's soundproof, so don't worry if you're too loud. If you need anything for the room, ask me and I'll see what I can do. Anyways, I would like you guys to clean up a bit to make room for the instruments."
Hehehehe they should see the looks on their faces... No, focus Meito! You are trying to bring them together so that they can enjoy being in the band. "Well, if you need me, I'll be back in the other room. Bye!" I turned around and left, closing the door behind me. I might as well catch up on any missing paperwork. I looked back at the door. Hope they don't kill each other.
Why do we have to clean?! Ugh, this is so frustrating! I HATE cleaning! And we have to clean with The Princes! Grrrr... Oh, I'm Neru btw. Well, if I have to clean, I might as well make it easier on myself. "Oi, Miku, Miki, Haku too. Come on, we'll be back soon." As the four of us left I kinda felt bad about leaving Rui, Rin, Gumi, and Teto with them. When we reached the bathroom, we helped put each other's hairs into buns. This way, it won't bother us or get in the way while cleaning.
When we were done we headed back. Principal Sakine didn't even look up at us. When we opened the door we saw that Rui and Gumi were holding back Rin. Girl, she looked like a tiger trying to kill its prey, and I'm guessing it's Mikuo since he looked absolutely terrified of her. Miku ran up to Rin and tried to calm her down. "But it's his fault and I'm getting pissed all over again!" Miku grabbed her shoulders in order to hold her still and looked her in the eyes. "Kagene Rin, I'm perfectly fine now. You don't need to worry." Rin calmed down a bit, but not all the way.
At this time we turned to Rui. She sighed and understood what she had to do. Teto came and helped Rui so she could talk to Rin and Miku moved out of the way. "Hey sis, can you please calm down? I know you're really upset but I don't like it when you're like this. Please?" Her voice was calm and soft, just like her, and as she spoke Rin calmed down and at the end she looked completely relaxed.
Whenever Rin's like that, the only person who can calm her down was Rui. I guess it's that 'sister bond' they have. Lucky, I wanna sister like that.
OMG, you should see the looks on the Princes' faces. They looked like they had either been punched in the stomach or just saw an angel. Rui is like an angel though. Quiet, innocent, patient, really she has no bad points (Rin says she does but she knows her better than anyone else). I didn't mind the looks except for the look on one of their faces. I think his name was Ren, no, Rei, yeah! That Rei guy was looking at her differently than the others. The look on his face told me that he was falling for her. And I had the feeling that he would fall for her hard. I just worry about how Rin will react when he does.
Honestly, sis has to get a hold of herself. We finally get to form a band (even if there is one condition) and she starts to get angry! I see nothing wrong with the Princes. Sure, they go around flirting with every girl they see like the playboys they are but then again, they are boys. It's in their nature to flirt with girls (have you ever met a guy who doesn't flirt? Because I haven't).
After I calmed down sis, I went back to cleaning. Though most don't, I quite like cleaning. It's productive and I can think while cleaning. Everyone else also went back to cleaning, more or less. Every once in a while though you could hear one of the girls complain or mutter under their breath. Oddly enough, none of the boys were complaining and seemed just fine with cleaning. A boy with black hair walked past me with a box of... are those ornaments? I guess they celebrate Christmas here then. Getting back on track, as I was dusting some bookshelves he walked past with a box of ornaments and out of the corner of my eye I saw some drop. He didn't seem to notice and continued walking. I picked up the ones that dropped and walked over to him. His back was turned to me as he put down the box but he finally saw me once he turned around. It might just be me but he looked really startled and I could have sworn I saw pink on his cheeks. It was probably because of the poor lighting. "Here." I said as I handed him the dropped ornaments. He took thanked me and put them back in the box. I went back to dusting but now I get the feeling that I'm being watched.
We finally finished cleaning and the room looked quite nice. There was a wide screen TV on a large entertainment center made of mahogany wood. It looked like it could hold lots of movies and games. There were 3 large black sofas that were actually really comfortable, 4 single gaming chairs, a laptop on an office desk, 6 single beds, and 4 futons. Pretty nice, huh?
I could hear the boys chatting about bringing game consoles, games, and movies. The girls were chatting about bringing movies, decorations, posters, and music. I had to smile. They think that they're different, but really, they are kind of alike the two groups. "Hey Rui! Thanks for your help today." Gumi smiled at me. "You're welcome, Gumi. Anytime!" Gumi and I are the only ones in the group that actually like cleaning, cooking, and any other inside chores, Rin, Teto, and Miku loved sports, and Neru, Miki, and Haku were gamers. One thing we all loved was music and shopping (Neru, Miki, and Miku loved it most).
"Well, since we're done cleaning, I guess we should go home now." I announced. Since we've cleaning for about 2 hours it was now 5:30. School starts at 8 but we have to be there by 7:45 so we can go to our lockers and get to class. It ends at 3:30 but we called our parents earlier to explain the situation and they told us to come back before our curfews (8-9 pm). "Well, since we of us have a while until we have to go back, you guys wanna get some food? You girls can join if you want." We turned to look at Dell (I think). The girls looked shocked at the offer and so did the guys. Then, Haku stepped forward. "What's in it for us?" They looked at each other and I had a feeling that they were having a quiet battle among themselves. "We'll pay." They shook hands and said at the same time. "Deal." I wonder how this will turn out. Hopefully no one gets hurt.
A/N: I know, I know. The girls' last names aren't the same. It's for the story. The room is completely based on my imagination and I wish it were my room. I'm posting this chapter for New Years' for you guys to enjoy. I'll get to work on chapters 5 and 6 right away. Reviews fuel my motivations so...
Please review!~
