Chapter 5: Light, Miracle, Fortune and the Keyblade Academy

Len slowly reopened his eyes and saw white lights around him.

Was he in heaven yet?

He quickly tried to sit up. But he was stopped by a firm hand which felt as heavy as an anvil on his chest.

"Please take a break… from the looks of it, you've been moving in cyberspace for about a week and a half or so."
An unfamiliar male voice whispered. Len felt care in the man… no, teen's voice. The voice he heard was almost like his, but had a lower tone. Len's vision was still a bit blurred when he looked at the owner of the arm. The only thing Len could tell was that this person who saved him from starvation and death had yellow-orange hair.
"A-A week…and a half…?
The blonde repeated what he just heard from the man who had saved him.
"Then… where am I…?"
He added, trying to make his voice louder, but can't due to his very dry throat. Now that his vision began to become clear again, his eyes travelled around the room. The room was pure white and its corners were more rounded than usual. The door, as Len thought, was made of cedar and had a painting of red roses on it. In its far right was a yellow closet which had a set of glow-in-the-dark cutouts pasted on to it. But he noticed that there was someone else in the room aside from the yellow-orange-haired teen. There was a girl who had the same tint of hair in the opposite side of the bed. Her gold-like hair reached the below her back, and her sky-blue eyes reflected the florescent light above them. She sported a sky blue dress which exposed most of her cleavage and a white collar-like choker on her neck, cobalt detached sleeves, belts here and there on the first layer of her dress' short skirt, bleached light blue stockings and pure blue doll shoes. Her back was facing the bed, her palms resting on the edge of the bed. She was glancing at Len from her shoulder, but her hair hid the rest of her face. Len examined her from bottom to top. Her dress suits her a lot. His concentration on her broke when he saw a wall clock.

3:57 P.M.

He forgot everything that he saw. The girl, the boy. Just because of a wall clock.
"Y-you're in…Keyblade Academy…"

The girl replied shyly to the question Len asked, which made him break his concentration in the clock and turned attention at the girl again.

Keyblade Academy… an academy for making keys?

"I-I see… uhmm… Thank you. M-my name's Len. Len Kagamine. I'm from the Vocaloid kingdom."
He introduced himself to the two people in the room and bowed his head slightly with a friendly smile drawn on his face. The two people bowed their heads down as well.

"I'm Kiseki. Combat teacher in this academy. I'm a being of light."
The orange-haired teen introduced himself and gave a smile. The girl was too shy to speak, and Kiseki noticed that. He didn't find this normal but spoke for her anyways.
"This is my twin sister, Hikari. She's a being of light, just like me. She's the master of magic in this academy."

While Kiseki spoke, Hikari moved tilted her head more and showed Len about one-thirds of her face. He also noticed that her face was slightly pink. He was slightly dazzled by her look, but she turned her face away again. He felt like they were the only two people in the room. As if Kiseki didn't exist.

"It's nice to meet the two of you."
Len warmly said, gaining notice of Kiseki again. The twins nodded simultaneously at the blonde Vocaloid. Kiseki smiled at Len.

Not until a loud knock was heard from the other side of the door.

Hikari went to open the door slowly, and 2 tall, dark figures were standing in front of them.

One wore a dark trench coat, but had no shirt underneath, jet black trousers, and knee-high boots. His raven hair had silver streaks on it, and his eyes were slit-shaped, the irises had a gold shade. Len guessed that he must be the headmaster of the academy due to his looks. The other figure wore a tight suit which was shades of purple and blood red. His shoes here big and were made of lead. He had spiky indigo hair and his eyes were yellow like the taller figure, but he looks much older. Mid-20s or something. The taller figure stepped into the room first and examined the sick Len in bed. He blonde Vocaloid sat up slowly and looked at his guitar which was slowly glowing.

'Does this mean that they're enemies? Well, I guess. Once I get better, I'll fend off these two ravens by myself!'

The weak Len thought. He felt that the taller raven was looking into his eyes so the blonde quickly looked down. The indigo went close to the raven's ear and whispered something to him in a foreign language. Len knew a bit of every modern language the humans use, but he can't seem to understand this one. But it felt as if it was an old language. Nevertheless, he looked at them silently. After the indigo was finished talking to the raven, he glared at Len. Kiseki and Hikari retaliated the glare with innocent looks, but he spoke coldly.

"Only students are permitted to stay in here. I can't let you stay here any longer."
The raven coldly muttered to Len.

"But-"
The orange-haired male threw his arm in front of Len and said, his voice sounding as solid as stone.

"Kiseki, Hikari. You two might be the best of the masters in here, but I can throw you away as easily as what I would do to this visitor."
The raven replied while strings of light appear on his right hand, somehow forming a giant key.

The orange-haired twins both drew out giant keys, but are of different design. Hikari's skeleton key was pure blue in color, and had a crown-shaped blade. Kiseki's key was nearly the same, but had a gold color. The indigo behind the raven had drawn out his giant key as well, but his key's blade was bronze and had a yellow bow. They were about to clash swords when the guitar flew into Len's hands and scratched it, making a teeth-shaking sound.

"Ne! Fighting won't solve anything, and throwing them away won't do you any good either! I'll join the academy so you could stop having problems!"
Len exclaimed confidently.
