A/N: I'm really sorry for not updating in a month and a half. The problem is (you'll now if you read the A/N's for the new chap for 'After 10 Years' and 'Darkness') I got grounded for a month. It was originally supposed to be just a week, but you know how Asian parents are. She ended up extending it to 3 weeks and then to a month. Then, when I finally got all my stuff back, she decided (on the spot) to extend it for another week. -_-"Let me tell you something-most boring time of my life. I actually had to play solitare using REAL CARDS because I was so bored. She even took away my manga for about a week because she was so mad. Really, getting grounded is my specialty.
(Note: Me babbling at the end if you want to read that too)
I do now own Vocaloid or the song 'Shake It!'.
(Kagamine Len POV)
I walked to school with Rei, mostly in silence. Every once in a while we would talk but not really. I'm guessing that we're nothing wondering about our new schedules.
When we got to school, we were swarmed with our fangirls.
"Len-Sama! Rei-Sama! Kya!"
"Look over here!"
"No, look over here!"
Their screaming was endless. It didn't stop until the rest of the guys came over.
"If you keep crowding them like that, they might be late for school. And if they're late for school too often, well, you know what happens then, don't you?" I heard Mikuo tell the girls. Some of them started complaining an whining by eventually they left Rei and I alone. I breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Mikuo and the guys.
Once the first bell rang, all of us left to see Principal Sakane. We bumped into the girls on our way so we all decided to walk the rest of the way togeher. Some of us talked to the other group but about half us remained silent during that time walking. Rei was one of them while he walked next to Rui who was also one of those staying silent.
I tried talking to Rin on the way. At first she ignored me but after a few smart remarks, I got her attention. We talked with each other the rest of the way about random stuff like what our favorite foods were, what were are pet peeves, and our favorite/least favorite things. By the time we got to Principal Sakane's office, I felt like Rin and I had gotten a little bit closer to each other.
Dell knocked and a few moments later the door creaked open slowly to reveal what I'm guessing to be the principal.
"Uncle! What's wrong? Are you ok?" Rin and Rui ran up to him and asked. I'm guessing that he's really their uncle or they're just really close to each other. The former seems more believable.
They helped him back inside and the rest of us followed.
He looked like a ghost. His skin was pale, his clothes and hair was disheveled, and there were dark bags under his eyes. "I'm fine, just tired. Kamui was having me do papers earlier. A lot of papers. I have your guys's schedules though. Rin, can you get it in the top drawer for me please?"
Rin went over and got a small stack of papers and handed them out.
"All of you will have band and dance together 6th and 8th period. We've had to cut 1 of your electives but you will have tutors come in during those times to help you guys. Don't worry, the other kids with these types of classes will also be in the classes. Today is day 2 so you'll get to meet the band teacher. Rin and Rui already know her."
As if on cue, all of us turned to look at them. They shook their head telling us that they had no idea who this teacher was. Guess we'll just have to wait.
We all looked over our schedules as Principal Sakane wrote us all an excused tardy slip. For today, my first class was social studies with "Annabeth 'Ann' Allen". I've never heard the name before so I'm guessing that she's one of the tutors the principal was talking about. I walked over to Rei. "What do you have for 5th period?" I asked him. He looked up from his schedule. "I have biology with a 'Clara Queva'. I'm glad I still have honor's classes." He sighed in relief. I'm just a little bit jealous. Rei does really well in school and takes advanced courses. I have regular classes but I do really well at those. Doing extra work doesn't seem like something I would do so I don't sign up for anything that requires too much more thinking. I like sports though. You know, just for fun and to kill time.
"Eeeeehhhhh?! Why do I have drama?!" I heard Rin yell. She had a bewildered look on her face that told me that she wasn't into dramatics much. It was kind of cute really.
"The elective you wanted was filled and you refused to put down any alternatives so I had to choose for you. Sorry." As she fake-cried, everyone decided to look at each others' schedules to see if we had a few classes together. I think just about all of us have at least one person from the group in almost every one of our classes. One thing's for certain though: Everyone in their grade has the same seminar teacher. Meaning that all the freshmen have the same teacher, all the sophomores have the same teacher, all the juniors have the same teacher, and all the seniors have the same seminar. That is, in our group, meaning that Rei, Rin, Rui, and I all have the same seminar. Kind of wonder how this'll work out.
"Here. Go to your classes and give these to your teacher, whoever you have. And on a quick note, we do have from abroad, so their name order might be different." Principal Sakane gave us our slips and we left his office to put our stuff away in our lockers and get to our new classes.
It took me a while to find the right room but I managed not to be too late. By the time I got there, they were already introducing someone. It was Rin. I stood in the doorframe to watch/wait.
"My name is Kagene Rin, I'll be working with you guys from now on so take care of me." She told them as she bowed. Everyone stood up and bowed back saying things like 'We will' or 'Likewise' to her. The teacher (at least that's who I think she was) stood up and payed Rin on the back. "Hello again Rin. There's an empty chair near the window seat behind Lapis. Please raise your hand so Rin knows who you are please Ms. Aoki."
Someone near the middle window raised their hand. Rin went over and sat behind her. The woman noticed me in the doorframe. She had long, blonde hair, a fair complexion, and warm, blue eyes. I'm guessing
"Are you Len?" She asked and I nodded. I'm guessing she's American with her accent when she's speaking. "Hello! I'm Ms. Allen, your social studies teacher. "Nice to meet you." She shook my hand then brought me up to the front and told me to introduce myself. Most of the girls were already whispering among themselves. Except Rin that is. She was just looking at me with this sort of poker face. (Po-Po-Po-poker face Po-Po-poker face haha I had to to that)
"Hey. I'm Kagamine Len. I hope to get along with you all." I told them and bowed my head. Most of them bowed back but some girls kind of half-fainted, excluding Rin again (who continued to look at me with a pokerface).
Ms. Allen told me to sit in the empty chair next to Rin. I didn't have any objections so I walked over and sat down.
Ms. Allen started teaching. I looked over at Rin and I could tell she was tryig to avoid looking at me. Sighing, I opened up to the page in the book and started reading.
Class was interesting enough I guess you could say. Once the bell rang, I got up and headed to my next class, dance with the rest of the guys and the girls too. As I walked over there I realized something. Rin and I have 5th period together, me, her, Rei, and Rui all have seminar together, and everyone has dance and band together, meaning that I have Rin in all my classes today and every other day at least! Well, since there isn't many kids doing special courses like music or art, most kids share the same teacher.
When I got to the room, most of the girls and guys were already there. There was just Rin, Miki, and Mikuo left. About 30 seconds before the bell rang, everyone was accounted for. Strange thing is, there wasn't a teacher in the room, so we all just sat down and waited.
We were in a fairly large roo, like those dance rooms people practice in. It had a wooden floor and a mirror lining two walls and on one of them there was a bar that I think is for ballerinas or something. I don't really know that much, so don't ask me. The wall that wasn't lined with mirrors was painted a beige color.
After about two minutes, the door burst open and a woman came twirling in. She had short, wavy black hair with a clip holding back some of her bangs even though there was still a strand of hair in her face. She wore a dark red headband and a white flower in her hair too. Her eyes were a dark green color, her skin was pale, and she was shorter than most of the teachers here. Wait... what? She came twirling in?!
"Good MOOOOOOOOORNING everybody!~ I'm your dance teacher, Prima Balla. Oh, that's in western order. For you kids, I would like to be called Prima-sensei, onegaishimasu!" What is up with this teacher? She's different than most teachers.
"Everyone is different, you know?" Prima-sensei said straight to my face. I backed up, shocked. When did she get there? Did she read my mind?
"I don't read minds Kagamine Len, you're an open book with that expression of yours. If you were paying attention, you would have seen me come up to you as well." Fine then, be that way.
Prima-sensei ordered us to put all of our things against the wall with the door and then sit somewhere in the room while she explained her class. Turns out, in this class, Prima-sensei will teach us different types of dance (even if it has nothing to do with the band)and how to improve our movements. She told to bring extra clothes to her class and she'll let us change in the extra room next door, kind of like gym, but only with the two groups. After about half an hour, she was done talking and let us just chat for the rest of the time since no body had any extra clothes to practice in.
Once the bell rang, we all left to eat lunch. Because of reasons better left unsaid (*coughfangirlscough*), we didn't eat together.
Seminar was relatively easy. I mean, we didn't have work since it was kind of like the first day of school for us.
The last class today was the one I'm at least slightly intrigued about. The principal said that Rin and Rui would already know them, so it's kind of interesting to think about since they said that they had no idea who the teacher would be.
After a long, boring wait, the bell finally rang, signaling the end of seminar. Grabbing my things, I headed towards the room for band But when I got there, everyone was standing outside or sitting against the wall because it was locked. A minute before the bell rang for the start of 8th period, the door opened and we all went in. Looking around, no one was there but afte the door clicked shut a voice was heard that belonged to none of us.
"So you guys are who I'm teaching huh? Seems like a nice group."
We all turned around and saw that our teacher was a woman with long, pink hair that reached just past her but and cerulean blue eyes. Rin and Rui gasped and jumped to hug her.
"Luka-nee! Why are you here?" Rin asked. 'Nee'? Doesn't that mean older sister? She looks nothing like them! Then again, those two don't look like each other at first glance. Rin with her bright blonde hair and blue eyes and Rui with her black hair and gold eyes. Once you get a closer look at them, you start seeing resemblances. But this woman has pink, I repeat-PINK, hair and blue eyes. And her eyes weren't even the same shade as Rin's either. Rin's eye were as blue as the sky and were prettier. Wait... did I really just say that? Scratch out that last part. Please...
"I'll explain things, I would like everyone to sit down first." She said, pointing to the desks lying in the back of the room. Things were kind of unorganized around here though. There were some boxes in the back corner still, and the shelves were looking bare.
Once we sat down and got comfortable, the woman started talking. "Hello everyone. My name's Shion Luka, and yes, I'm Rin and Rui's older sister." How? They. Look. Nothing. Alike.
She looked over at Rin and Rui, as if asking them something. Slowly, they nodded, but only for a few seconds.
"I know most of you are thinking 'How are they sibling?' because I can see it on your faces. Rin and Rui were actually adopted into our family but because of some... issues, I guess you could say, get kept their biological parents' last name." We all looked at them and Rui nodded while Rin just stared into space. "It's true," Rui said, "our names are Kagene-Shion Rui and Kagene-Shion Rin. But like Luka-nee said, because of some things, it was just left as Kagene." Ohhhhhh, so that's why. It makes sense now.
"All right then. Now that that's out of the way, I might as well learn all of your guys' names huh? I'm just gonna go down the row and tell me your name, got it?" We did as she said and in no time at all, she had all our names memorized.
So apparently, in this class, we'll be learning about different forms of music and different ways of being a band together since the principal said we had a fair chance of being scouted. We would even get homework about writin new songs. When you first think about it, that seems kind of easy. You know, it's just a rhythm and some words. How hard can it be? But then you actually try to think of something and it seems like everything you try, someone else copied you and it's already a song or in a song. Pretty aggravating. So yeah, hope this class is pretty cool. It sounds like it.
(Shion Luka POV)
It's been a week since everyone got their new schedules. I have to say, they're dealing with the changes pretty well. I'm responsible for them, so I have to make sure they are doing well in their classes. Even Rin, who hated her drama elective, is one of the best actors. Rui seems to be having fun, too.
I haven't heard them sing yet, so I think I'll have a quick assignment. Of course, Prima-san has to help with it too. (She made me call her that)
It's day 1 today, so I'll ask her to help me work with them today.
I walked to her room and knocked on the door. "Excuse me, Prima-san?" I asked. She dopened the door and I'm surprised that she wasn't as enthusiastic as she usually is.
"Can I help you, Luka?" She asked me, rather normal for once. "You haven't, by any chance, already seen the kids perform a song yet, have you?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"Come to think of it, I've just been teaching them the basics to dancing, but some of them have already mastered it. It was the kids who were specifically doing dancing for the band. Why do you ask?"
"Do you mind doing a joint assignment I guess you could say, with me?" She thought for a moment.
"What kind of joint assignment?"
I briefly explained to her what I had in mind and she agreed to it with her usual enthusiasm. I have to say, it was nice to know the her we usually know is there. Then again, not everyone acts the same way with people. Some people are stuck up with othe people but really nice when they're alone or with their family, or vice versa. Kind of like how dad was when I told him what Uncle Meito told me over the phone.
The bell rang, signaling the end of free session. Kids would be going back to class now. Band isn't the only class I have. I should get back for the next class.
~Time Skip~
Today has finally come. I hope to learn more about everyone's abilities today with the assignment.
The bell for 8th period rang and in just a few minutes, everyone had already arrived.
They sat at their assigned desks and just looked at me expectantly. I just handed them a sheet of paper and told them that I would be back an hour. The last thing I saw before I left was a look of shock on their faces.
After about half an hour, when I decided to peak in on them, the windows were open and everyone was working hard. I smiled. I hope they stay that way.
Making my way to ask Prima-san about what happened while she had them, I could have sworn I heard someone giggling. Turning around quickly, I said, "Who's there? Classes are in session. Please return to your class immediately." I was met with silence and a lone hallway. As I turned around again, I heard more giggling. This time, when I turned around, someone was there. I couldn't see her face but she looked familiar. As if implanted into me I asked her, "Are you her? Are you the one who's come back?" She simply nodded and giggled. Her head jerked up, as if she heard something. Giving me a smile, she turned around and disappeared.
"Luka-san! There you are! I've been looking for you." I heard Prima-san's voice. "How's the kids' assignment doing on your side?"
I turned around and forced a smile on my face. "Last time I checked on them, they were working really hard. I'm proud of them." She smiled back and started dancing around me in the hall. "Let me tell you, I had them listen to the disks you sent me and they worked oh so hard on them! They only got about halfway through with both of them though. Oh how it saddens me! Well then, I must be off. Bye now!" With that, she twirled back to her classroom, leaving me alone in the hallway once again.
I looked at one of the clocks on the wall and saw that the time limit I set was almost out and started to head back to the classroom.
When I got there, I opened the door to find everybody laughing and having a lot of fun.
"Since you're all laughing and having a grand time, I can assume that you're all finished, right?" I asked them jokingly. They looked up at me and Rin and Rui jumped up to hug. "Luka-nee! Luka-nee! We're all finished! Wait 'till you hear it!" Rin told me. I laughed. This girl really loves music. It makes sense though. Both of them had to have gotten it from their parents.
"Okay then, who wants to go for today since we only have time for one?" Rin raised her hand excitedly. The other singers I had put her with were Len and Miku. I'm actually excited to hear what they thought up for the melody I gave them. You see, the assignment was to put lyrics and choreography to a melody I made up. It was kind of hard at first but I made up two melodies for two groups of three. Three singers to a song was my idea. There was a somewhat slow melody and an upbeat melody. Rin's group picked the latter.

I have to say, they did a good job with the lyrics. Even the choreography was good. If I wasn't their teacher, I wouldn't have guessed they just started taking this class last week.
I applauded them. "Good job you guys! Now remember, Rui, Rei, and Mikuo, you guys are up tomorrow. Got it?" The three nodded.
Everyone started cleaning up and I wrote notes about Rin, Len, and Miku's performance. They were great with just the three of them. If the others are as good as them, how great would the band be as a whole? Already, I couldn't wait for next class with them.
The bell rang for the end of school and everyone left. Even if Rin and Rui are my sisters, they couldn't stay with me while I'm working. Dad'll pick them up. My mind wandered back to that girl in the hallway.
If the girl I saw today was her, then where was he? And why of all times are they showing up? Are they just going to go back into hiding? Are they going to reveal themselves to them that they're back?
What would everyone say if they knew who they really are?
A/N: Yeah so um... yeah. I would have uploaded this yesterday but we went to Belgium to get my dad beer. Just beer. -_-"
Good news though, SUMMER BREAK STARTS NEXT WEEK!

Guest review replies:
02vocaloid - Here's the update! Sorry it took so long, I'm very prone to getting grounded so yeah...
Please Review!~
Babble Time for Me!
(Unless you want to listen to(read about) me babbling about how awesome the anime con was, skip this and [if there is]read the next chapter [if not, please wait as I write the next chap])
Ok, yeah, so... I would have updated last weekend... but there was an anime con going on and I decided to go on both days with friends. I mean, I can update really whenever I want, but I can't make an anime con happen whenever I want. As much as I love you guys, I had to follow that logic.
I don't regret it though. I played Mario on the Wii with an Edward (Full Metal Alchemist) and he called me awesome (can't get over that xD), we were served muffins and milk by a Sebastion (Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler) cosplayer at the Maid Cafe, I took a picture with a Prussia(Hetalia) cosplayer, I saw a Vocaloid performance, my friends and I took a picture with the same Sebastion that served us the day after he served us, I bought a Japanese magazine, AND my friends and I put our money together to buy a Bleach box containing 4 (fake) credit cards and about like 40-50 postcards. They each got 2 of the credit cards and I gave them each 1/4 of the deck of postcards.
Let me just tell you... THAT SEBASTION WAS LIKE 6 FOOT 6. So I'm the short, midget Asian in my trio of friends and on Saturday I went with my tall Asian friend (we'll call her Cat). Even she admitted that he was tall when we were telling our non-Asian friend(we'll call her Jay). At first Jay thought we were exaggerating and then we saw that Sebastion again and she was like "... Why is he so tall? God, I feel like a real Asian now." My reply was, "How do you think I feel? I feel like a freaking midget next to him!" XD It was awesome. We got a picture with him and Jay was so happy because during the picture she was standing right next to him and she got to 'touch his arm!' Cat was worse. She ended up screaming 'SEBASTION TOUCHED MY MUFFINS!' every time we had a break or we were just hanging out.
Oh yeah, there was also karaoke there XD I'm not going to go into detail but let's just say... I was questioned if I was a human or not by the locals. I sang Ura-Omote Lovers (Two-Faced Lovers) and I sang it almost perfectly (I started too fast at one point). Every time there was a break the locals would put a hand to their throat and start fake choking/coughing. So Jay can speak the local language so while she was taking a break (she did about half of the song with me) someone asked me if I was human because I was singing as fast as the song. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SPEAK AT 100 MILES PER HOUR EVERYDAY!
There was also this game room. They. Had. Project. Diva. Extend. THE GAME! I only played it once before. Jay and Cat forced me to translate the songs for them because I can read a little bit Japanese. Cat and I played Mario with the Edward (as mentioned earlier). He ended up telling me I was this like hard-core player because I would be literally 0.5 cm from my death and I didn't even react. I was just like 'this is nothing' the entire time.
So, yeah. That's gonna be the end of my babble. If you read this, I hope you found it interesting enough. Can't believe anyone would read it though -_-
