Len's POV
"Master Len, it is time for breakfast." a stately male voice said as I slowly opened my eyes into slits.
I mumbled and flipped over and covered my head from the opened curtains letting the sun attack my eyes.
"Master Len, do not make me wake you. I know how you hate it when I do." my servant threatened, I let out a long drawn out sigh as I sat up.
"Yeah, and I hate it when you tell me what to do." I glared.
"I'm just following your parents' instructions." he stated as he left my room, silently.
"Yeah, but they aren't ever here so I don't see why I have to listen to them!" I semi-yelled after my servant, who didn't respond.
I sighed again, jumping out of bed and over to my clothes that my servant was so kind to lay out for me. I looked down at the clothes and frowned in disgust at what my 'parents' asked him to put out for me.
I grabbed the pile of clothes and went into my walk-in-closet...yes I know girl alert. I blame my mother for the whole room of clothes since I could care less on what I wear.
I threw the clothes in a corner of the room and went to my more formal section than what I usually wear. I grabbed a dark pair of jeans and pulled them on, grabbed a white and light blue striped dress shirt and buttoned it on and grabbed and slipped on a pair of my more on the dressy side tennis shoes. I looked in my floor length mirror and smirked at my reflection for a few minutes before leaving my closet and my room all together.
I walked down an expensively decorated hallway, every hall is decorated pretty much with as much money and things as possible.
I get so tired of seeing all of this crap and pictures of our ancestors...kidding there are no pictures, every frame has a contract that my parents made with some other big time company.
I turned down a hall and opened up a dark oak door into an office...yes I have my own office the size of a kitchen. I went and sat down behind my oak wood desk which is more of a reddish brown color.
I flipped open a folder on my desk to start my paper work, but nope definetly not going to happen. I facedesked as my servant flinched in pain at the hard and painful sound as he walked in carrying a tray of breakfast items.
"Master Len, here is your breakfast." he said as he sat the tray down on my desk to the side.
I muttered a thank you into my desk, making him raise an eyebrow in concern.
"Master..."
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me just Len, Kenichi?" I asked as I raised my head to look at the brunette and into his chocolate brown eyes with an icy cold glare.
"Sorry Mast...I mean Len." Kenichi said uncomfortably.
"There we go, now what do I have to do today?" I asked with a slight smile as I took a big bite out of my pancakes.
"Arisa-san wanted you to do an interview today with Miss Kagamine." Kenichi said as I spaced out and stopped eating, letting my yummy maple syrup drip off my pancakes and back onto the plate. "Len...Len, are you alright? Master Len!"
I thought back to what happened a couple of days ago with Rin.
~Flashback~
"I've had enough of everyone worrying about me, I'm fine! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Rin yelled tears rolling down her face as she ran away without looking back.
~Flashback end~
Rin...I didn't mean to make you cry...
A tear rolled down my cheek as I scrubbed it away angrily.
"I'm fine, I just don't feel like doing an interview." I said, Kenichi nodded in agreement.
"You wouldn't be able to do the interview anyway." he stated, I gave him a confused look before he explained further. "Your parents are hosting a banquet for their new contract and want you to be there since you are the only heir to the family business and all. That is why I had the suit out for you to wear, but I see that you didn't find it suitable." he explained with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
I chuckled to myself, "Yeah, so who else is going to be there?" I asked, picking up my partly eaten pancake again by stabbing it with my fork.
"I assume you mean besides the people you could care less about and the TV crews." he stated, I nodded with a smirk, happy that he could read my mind. "The Hatsunes and Masudas will be there I know for sure. Also I assume the Kamuis and Megurines will be there, the Shions because of Kaito, the Kasanes because they are the guests of honor and I think that would be all of the teens your age there. Oh, and maybe the Akitas might be there too." he informed.
I nodded, "What time?" I asked.
"It starts at one and goes into the night, your parents are using the banquet to talk about the company's next move." he said, I sighed.
"Great...I wanted to at least enjoy myself somewhat." I said as I looked at my watch on my wrist.
Eleven...two hours until I die of boredom...great.
"I was suppose to wake you up at six." Kenichi stated as he chuckled to himself as I facedesked again. "I'll check up on you in an hour to make sure you are ready." he said as he bowed and left, chuckling to himself as he walked down the hall and downstairs.
"I don't want to do this crap!" I whined running my hands through my blond hair, making my elastic band pop off, letting my hair fall down to my shoulders.
I sighed, might as well work and get this shitty work done so I can hang out and do what I want when I come home. I fist pumped as I grabbed a pen and started reading and signing papers at the speed of light.
Miku's POV
"I don't know about this dress, Miku..." Luka stated looking at her reflection in the teal's mirror.
"It's perfect! Look at it!" I said excitedly as I pointed at her reflection.
We both looked at her with her light pink hair going down her back as she was trying on a light blue strapless dress that had silver sparkles on the bust and throughout the rest of it.
"I liked the pink one better." Luka stated.
I nodded and went and grabbed the pink one and handed it to her. Luka quickly changed happy with her appearance now, "So what dress will you wear?"
"This one!" I smiled brightly as I quickly changed into a light teal colored dress with thin straps to hold it up and a black sash surrounding my waist. "Isn't it beautiful?"
Luka nodded, "Have you talked to Rin any?" she asked with a slight frown.
I shook my head as I looked at my teal phone, "I texted her to come here, but I haven't gotten a reply." I stated sadly, as one of my maids knocked and stuck her head in the room.
"Someone is at the door for you Miss Hatsune." she said before she left.
"Let's go." I said as we left my room and went down to the main floor.
We walked down the hall to the curved stairs, seeing Rin waiting in the foyer nervously while looking around when Mikuo walked out of the living room surprising her.
"Hey Rin, haven't seen you in a while. You waiting for Miku and Luka to come down?" Mikuo said.
She nodded with a slight blush as she noticed him in a black suit jacket and pants, a white dress shirt, and a teal tie. "Are you and Miku going somewhere important because I can come back later?" Rin asked quickly, making Luka and I giggle.
The two teens looked up to see us as we waved before walking down to them.
"You're here Rinny!" I semi-yelled as Luka and I hugged the small teen tightly, making her blush in embarrassment.
Mikuo chuckled, "I guess she got your text, you two better hurry and get Rin ready, we have to leave soon." he said as he waved and went back into the living room.
Luka and I dragged Rin up the stairs, the blond worrying the whole way about stepping on our dresses as we pushed her into my room.
"Luka, grab the dress and I'll work on Rinny's hair!" I ordered as we both rushed to work to get our best friend all beautiful.
I combed her blond locks out and slipped on a white headband with a small white rose on one side and sprayed some citrus hair spray to keep her hair in place. I fixed her bangs so she still looked like herself.
"There finished!" I smiled as Luka came back with the dress we chose for her.
Luka and I forced Rin into the dress before we turned her so she could look in the mirror. Luka and I squeal at how cute she looks as she stared wide eyed at her reflection. We then heard a whistle, making us all turn in the direction of my door.
We saw Mikuo leaning next to the door with a smile. "It's nice to see you three in something else besides the school uniform."
"How does Rinny look and be honest, okay?" I asked turning Rin towards my brother.
His eyes widen slightly, "She looks cute." Mikuo's response made her blush slightly.
"Time for some makeup!" I said as Luka did her makeup and I did Rin's. After I finished I let Luka do mine before Rin remembered what Mikuo said.
"Guys...what is going on? Where are you kidnapping me?" Rin asked as she turned to Mikuo and glanced at Luka and I.
"You two didn't tell her where we were going?" Mikuo asked as he looked back and forth between Luka and I. Luka and I looked down at the ground shamefully. Mikuo pulled out his phone, "Gakupo and Nero are here and Kaito said he is catching a ride with someone else so we should get going."
"I'm still confused..." Rin stated.
"We have to go to a banquet because of our families..." I explained, Mikuo coughed shooting me an 'explain it fully' look.
I sighed as Mikuo finished explaining for me, "I'm sorry Rin, I thought these two explained this to you, but our family and Luka's, Gakupo's, Teto's, Ted's, Nero's, Kaiko and Akaiko's families are guests at the Kagamine's banquet which you should have known about since Len is your brother."
Rin glared, "Len isn't my brother..." she whispered with her head facing the ground.
The three of us just stared slightly confuse at the blond.
"Anyway, will you please come with us?" I begged holding Rin's hand with mine.
She looked up into my eyes and smiled forcibly, "Okay, I'll go..." she said softly, as I cheered and Luka smiled brightly.
Mikuo shook his head, "Hurry up, I'll wait with everyone downstairs and don't take forever." he said as he left my room.
"Let's go!" I semi-yelled as I took one arm from Luka and Rin and pulled them out of my room, the three of us laughing all the way down the hall.
"What's taking them forever?" Gakupo whined as Nero snickered and Mikuo smirked.
"You'll see." he smirked chuckling at the taller purple haired guy when he pouted.
"Sorry we took forever, we're ready to go now!" I smiled as we walked down the stairs gaining everyone's attention.
My family, our friends and their families smiled up at us, the three guys' mouths dropped to the floor in shock as we walked up to them. We hugged Teto, Kaiko, and Akaiko and greeted Ted.
"Wow..." Nero and Gakupo trailed off staring at Rin and Luka.
"Why thank you! Let's go!" I cheered as I made everyone laugh and agree that we should get going.
We walked out of my house, I walked beside my brother. We watched Gakupo try too hard to compliment Luka and ended up getting punched in the chest and ignored.
"Looks like they need a personality change besides updated clothes." Mikuo said, I nodded as we both looked over to Rin and Nero, who were both blushing and walking beside each other silently looking away from each other.
"Looks like I need to give the guys a lesson on how to interact with girls." I sighed, making my brother chuckle.
"Maybe you should just concentrate on gaining Kaito's attention especially since you're up against ice cream." Akaiko stated with a mischievous smirk as she walked up beside us with Kaiko.
Mikuo became silent and started blushing darkly, the same for Kaiko. Akaiko and I fell back on purpose for them and snickered into our hands as Mikuo glared at us.
"Everyone's happy..." Akaiko sighed happily.
I nodded with a hundred watt smile, "Is Luki going to be there?" I asked tilting my head in question.
Akaiko sighed and shrugged, "He thinks he's too 'cool' to come." she air quoted.
"Hey, we can hang out together the whole time!" I smiled, she shook her head.
"This is your chance with Kaito, you have to take it."
I laughed, "I'll have plenty of chances because Kaito only loves ice cream and I don't think he can marry it or anything!" I joked, the two of us broke out in laughter as we all got into a limo to go to the banquet hall.
Len's POV
"Master Len, wake up." Kenichi said coming into the office shaking me awake.
"I'm done..." I muttered as I lifted my head up from my desk, my hair tickling my neck.
"I brought you a suit jacket and your mail." he said handing me the jacket as he sat junk mail down on my desk.
I slipped on the jacket with a yawn. "Someone left this manilla envelope for you." he said handing me the huge envelope.
"Who left it?" I asked, my servant shrugged as I hurried and opened it. I pulled out four sheets of paper and two disks and laid them on my desk.
The top paper is a note which I picked up to read immediately. "What does it say?" Kenichi asked looking at the paper over my shoulder.
"It's a note from Rin..." I murmured as my bangs fell into my eyes, I growled in anger and quickly put my hair back into its regular small ponytail.
Dear Len or should I say brother...I really don't know anymore,
First off, I'm really confused about all of this being an idol or pop star, or whatever you want to call it. I call it freaking insane monkeyshit, but that is my opinion.
Anyway, the reason I wrote this letter was because I wanted to give you the sheet music for Corrupted Flower. Also one of the disks is a recording of it, I thought you could check it out to see if you like it or not, if you don't you can change it however you want. The two other sheets of paper are a new song I wrote for the both of us, one is the lyrics and the other is the sheet music. The last disk is a recording of it, I hope you like it and again you can change anything you don't like or even fix the lyrics you sing. I trust you and you're a really good friend. I'm sorry...
-Rin
"She sounds really sad...what did you do to her?" Kenichi asked, making me jump in my seat. I totally forgot he was still here.
"I-I...she is my twin..." I whispered, he raised a surprised and confused eyebrow.
"You don't have a twin let alone a sibling." he said giving me a confused look.
"Everyone thinks we are...they have to because of the stupid contract I made her sign!" I semi-yelled punching the top of my desk with my fist.
"You didn't make her sign anything, Len." he said gently.
"How would you know?" I glared, standing up and facing him.
"She chose to do it to help you, she wanted to do it for you. You didn't make her."
"Then why does she blame me for what happened at school!"
Kenichi sighed ruffling his brown hair, "She probably thought being an idol would be easy, but when she found out how hard and different it is from her old life, she freaked." he was still thinking of a way to get it through his master's thick skull.
I thought about what he said. "She's probably scared that she'll screw up and hurt your career."
"She wouldn't screw up, she's perfect!" I said staring wide eyed at my friend.
He smiled, "Tell her." he said as I nodded and rushed towards my door. I stopped as I was about to walk through the now open door.
I turned to face my friend, "But she doesn't want to talk to me, that's why she sent that letter, Kenichi." I frowned sadly looking at the floor as I tightened my hand on the door knob.
Kenichi stepped to my side and laid a hand on my shoulder, making me look up to him, "She sent that letter to show you how committed she is to being twins with you even if she has trouble handling the pressures of society. Now, look and listen to the stuff she sent you and I'll go through your junk mail since we still have some time before we have to leave."
I nodded and went back to my desk and popped in the Corrupted Flower disk as I looked at the sheet music while listening to it.
"That sounds beautiful. What is the song about?" Kenichi asked with a curious tilt of his head as he threw away an envelope.
"About a guy and girl falling in love..." I trailed off, he nodded with a smile.
"It fits perfectly."
"They do the deed and get separated." I finished making Kenichi's eyes widen as I chuckled at his reaction.
"You're kidding, right?" he asked, I shook my head. "Teens and their hormones..." he muttered under his breath as the CD finished and I switched it to the other one.
I laughed as I pressed play. "What's this one?"
I shrugged as I picked up the lyrics, "Magical Mirror..." I trailed off looking over the lyrics.
My eyes widen. "What is it?"
I shook my head, "She's amazing..." I said as I grabbed the two CDs and rushed out of my office followed by my confused and slightly worried servant.
I jogged down the stairs and went outside and got into the limo. "I guess we're leaving now." Kenichi said as I nodded and the limo drove through the gate.
A few minutes later the limo stopped in front of the banquet hall as I got out and went inside the white painted building.
"Ah, my Lenny!" my mother chirped hugging me tightly as my father frowned slightly at my choice of clothing.
I pulled away from my mother, "It's good to see you, mother...father." I said giving the older blond a 'try to piss me off and I'll make you regret it' look.
"It's good to see you, son." my father emphasized the last part with a glare as I rolled my eyes.
"Stop it you two, our guests are starting to arrive." my mother said as she pulled the both of us over to the white banquet doors to greet people.
I stood there beside my parents as they shook hands and greeted people. I stood dutifully by their sides with a frown on my face and my hands in my jean pockets. I sighed and my parents glared at me before smiling at another guest.
"This place looks so huge and expensive." a female voice said in awe as she walked up with her family, friends and their families.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hatsune, we are so happy for you to be able to make it!" my mother chirped, hugging the teal haired married woman.
"Thank you, for inviting us and for letting our daughter invite some of her friends." Mrs. Hatsune smiled.
"It's no problem at all, there is plenty of food, plus some of them are already here." my mother smiled as they nodded and walked past us.
I sighed again as I heard familiar laughing from a certain teal haired girl, looking up to see some of my friends walk up.
My mouth dropped down to the floor in shock, "Welcome, Miku, some of your friends are already here!"
"Thank you for telling us, Mrs. Kagamine." Miku said politely.
"Hey Len, you clean up well." Mikuo teased, making the girls laugh at his joke. I rolled my eyes when I notice Rin...beside Nero.
Hell no!
"Enjoy yourselves!" my mother chirped as they thanked my parents again before moving inside to let more people move forward.
I waited a few minutes thinking about Rin as I stood there, she looked beautiful in that light yellow dress with a white sash. I walked away from my parents, my mother frowned after me while father just ignored me like he always does.
Let's see, where's Rin at? She can't disappear like this unless...she's a trained ninja.
I was pulled into a quiet corner, "Hey..." I whined.
"Shut it, Len. Rin doesn't want to talk to you." Miku growled.
I raised an eyebrow, "How would you know and plus I need to talk to her." I said.
She rolled her eyes, "I'm one of her best friends, duh and plus she likes Nero. Stick with Neru or Lily, they're here for your enjoyment...not Rin. Yah got me?" she asked with an evil glint in her eyes, I nodded quickly. She smiled before strutting away to find Kaito.
"Kaito really needs to watch his back..." I muttered ruffling my hair as I was pulled once again by another girl, two to be exact.
"Hi Len!" Neru and Lily smiled up at me.
"Uh...hi, Neru...Lily. I hope you enjoy yourselves tonight." I muttered as I pulled away and walked off. The two blonds stared after me angrily.
Where's Rin? How can she hide like this, jeez?
"Hey Rin, would you like some punch?" Nero asked.
"Uh...sure..." Rin said quietly as Nero walked away.
I backed up and walked over to her. "Uh...hi, Rin."
Rin looked up in surprise, "Hello Len." We stared at each other until I spoke.
"I wanted to say that I'm sorry...for everything that I'm making you go through." I said quietly, Rin smiled softly up at me.
"I forgive you, I um...just thought this whole idea of being an idol would be easy, but it's so different from my regular life and all." she blushed slightly in embarrassment.
I smiled, "I got your letter." Rin's eyes widen and she started to turn a deep red.
"Not my proudest moment..." she muttered, making me chuckle.
"I liked the music a lot, you're amazing and I think that if we really do work together our music will be the best thing that has ever happen to society." I smiled brightly.
Rin's blush darkened than lightened slightly as she nodded and smiled up at me, slightly unsure. "O-Okay, but what about the TV cameras here and plus you have to sing later..."
"Wait...back up a sec, sing?"
Rin nodded, "You didn't know?" I shook my head. She handed me a piece of paper.
"Len Kagamine- singer." I read out loud part way down the page, I stared at the paper.
She laughed into her hand, "I'm guessing your parents didn't tell you." I nodded slowly.
"Doesn't matter really." I shrugged. "I always have a song ready."
"Sure." she rolled her eyes when Nero got back with two drinks.
"Len! What are you doing here?" Nero asked in surprise.
"I'm hosting the banquet." I smirked, Nero just rolled his eyes.
"Do you always have to be such a smart ass?" he asked.
"Yep!" I smirked, making Rin laugh lightly.
"Rinny, Kaito is eating all of the ice cream!" Miku whined running over followed by Luka, Gakupo, Kaiko, Akaiko, and Mikuo.
Rin smiled, "Kiyoteru!" she waved as he walked over to our group with a smile and Luki.
"Hello Rin, it's good to see. Will you be playing tonight?" Kiyoteru asked.
She shook her head, "No, I'm not but Len is going to sing." she smiled up at me, I smiled back.
"I thought you wanted us to kill him?" Akaiko stated, her sister elbowed her in the ribs. "Ow..."
Rin giggled, "No, we're fine now."
We're friends again...
"Lenny darling!" Mrs. Kagamine chirped rushing over with her husband and hugged me to death.
"M-Mother..." I choked out.
"Mrs. Kagamine, it's nice to meet you!" Rin smiled, gaining my mother's attention instantly, allowing me to break free and get my breath back.
She looked down at the shorter blond, "YOU'RE SOOO CUTE!" she chirped hugging Rin tightly.
"Mother!" I scolded, my mother instantly let Rin breathe again and pouted.
"I'm fine, Len." Rin smiled.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Mr. Kagamine glared with his loud business voice. "Why are you dressed like that?"
"I-I..." all of the guests and TV crews all turned in our direction before going back to their conversations.
"Father!" I glared stepping in front of Rin. "This is Rin Kagamine."
My parents' eyes widen, "How..." my mother trailed off, staring into Rin's blue eyes. "She looks just like you Lenny."
I nodded, "Yeah...I know it's weird." I trailed off, looking up at my father. "Father, I know we've never gotten along, but I hope in the future we can change that." I smiled sadly, my father frowned, but nodded.
"Okay, but son..." Natsu Kagamine trailed off, I nodded for him to go on. "Will you sing for us?"
I smiled brightly, "That's what I do best." I nodded going up to the stage where the band was playing. "Please put this CD in." I instructed to the stage director as he put the CD in, I grabbed a mic. Arisa walked up to the group.
"Mr. and Mrs. Kagamine, Rin Kagamine is special to Len's career." Arisa said as she handed Len's father a piece of paper, he read it over and looked down at Rin.
"Twins?!" Rin nodded nervously.
"Yeah..." she blushed lightly.
"I-I..." Natsu Kagamine stuttered, Natsuki hugged her husband supportively.
"Welcome to the family!" she smiled, Natsu grasped his wife's hand gently.
"Welcome to the Kagamine family." he whispered with a barely noticeable smile. "What is your true last name?"
Rin smiled, "I'm actually a Kagamine, born and raised one."
The two blond adults nodded as their one and only child started speaking, Natsu was still wondering how was all this possible.
"Rin, I've never supported Len with his career, but I've helped him become an idol...this has always been his dream..." Natsu said, looking down at Rin.
She nodded with a bright smile, "I'll try to not screw it up for him." Len got everyone's attention since he's ready.
Everyone turned towards the stage. "Hi everyone! Welcome to the Kagamine Corporation Banquet." I smiled brightly into the mic.
"Support him for me..." Natsu whispered barely audible.
"You are all here to celebrate our new contract with Kasane & Company." I said, people nodded. "Or you somehow heard that I would be singing tonight."
Some girls squealed while some others cheered, I smirked looking at Rin who smiled up at me. "My parents actually didn't tell me, one of my friends showed me the entertainment list. I'm really honored to be able to this one thing for all of you."
I looked at my other friends, "Especially for my friends and family. I'll be singing a new song that I wrote not too long ago when I met someone who is very special and extremely talented in music." I smiled brightly at Rin, I stared at her like she was the only person in the room. "I dedicate this song to...my twin."
Everyone looked around for my twin, they clapped as they did so, not finding her.
"It's called Desert Bluebird, I hope you like it." I said with a bright smile.
In a world buried in the sands,
we are searching for the blue bird.
No matter how difficult, as long as I'm with you,
surely we will overcome any trouble we face.
In this world with its civilization destroyed,
a granny appeared before my little sister and me,
imploring us to seek out the blue bird
in order to save this world.
It's supposedly a desert blue bird.
Suddenly we had been entrusted with the fate of the entire world.
Having loaded our car full with hope and faith,
we began our journey.
The blue bird is a legend,
a miracle said to grant all and every wish.
After a long journey, we finally discovered
the blue bird's whereabouts.
With the huge building crumbling onto them,
the people were all too scared to set their feet into it.
As I was still hesitating about whether to enter,
you swiftly ran into it for my sake.
Oh sister, you used to always tremble in fear behind me
no matter what was happening.
But now, with courage gathered in your heart,
you are about to enter that building.
In a world buried in the sands,
you have sought out the blue bird.
In my arms, with your eyes shut,
you will never wake up again.
In this facility plagued with radioactive contamination,
what I had lost was way too precious to me,
so there I made my wish to the blue bird.
As you slowly opened your eyes again,
the blue bird disappeared into somewhere else.
Ahead of what we had journeyed through,
was the boundary line of the world.
There, was an ocean,
blue and vast...
Everything will actually start from here,
as we must rebuild this world with our own hands.
No matter how difficult, as long as I'm with you,
surely we will overcome any trouble we face.
Desert Blue Bird,
it is a miracle.
Everyone started sniffling and wiping away their tears.
"My twin...you are a miracle." I smiled.
Everyone clapped, Rin smiled brightly at me and giggled to herself.
Miku ran up onto stage and grabbed the microphone from me. "Hi everyone! I'm Miku Hatsune and I would like to sing you all a song! I hope you don't mind, Len!" Miku smiled.
"No problem, Miku." I laughed.
"I've been friends with Len since we were toddlers, but I've never seen him act all sweet, it's really weird." everyone laughed. "A twin really changes you..." Miku smiled, giving Rin a thumbs up, Rin laughed shaking her head with the rest of our friends as I walked over to them.
Miku handed over a CD to the stage director. "Before I can start I need a partner to duet with..." she smiled when every guy volunteered. "I have a person in mind, but you all have to convince her..."
Miku begged Rin with her eyes, giving her the puppy dog eyes. Rin walked forward to the stage with her head down as everyone clapped and cheered. Miku hugged her as she turned to face the crowd and looked up. Everyone gasped at how blue her eyes are and how much she looks like me.
"We'll be singing a song I wrote when I met and got to know one of my best friends, we both hope you like it." Miku said. "It's called Promise, enjoy."
When I touched your wound, you were shaking slightly
Not knowing where to go, you were looking at the distant sky
It's not like I want the answer to the pain in my heart
As long as you're here I just need to fulfill my promise
Until the tears that are left fade away there's a sad shine
I embrace it very strongly, as if there's nothing to bear
The motionless feelings will go with the tomorrow we'll spend together
There is a thing that blocks that light, I will flick it away
The breaking world is now starting to show the meaning of "echo"
I make an oath in my heart to protect you forever...
A dry wind is flicking over the pages of a fairy tale
"I'm not alone," I feel that I could be stronger, just with those words
I spread my injured wings and attempt to fly again
If this voice goes through to you, then I don't have to be afraid of anything...
If your memory ties your heart
Die it into the colour you want and draw your future with it
The strong bond is, yes, will tie us together strongly
As long as I live on I won't go away, so to the never ending sky I reach my hand out
Find the hope, the future you want, we don't have far, it will reach someday, and surely that's a feeling that never changes
Together, let's face the woven tomorrow
The motionless feelings will go with the tomorrow we'll spend together
There is a thing that blocks that light, I will flick it away
The breaking world is now starting to show the meaning of "echo"
I make an oath in my heart to protect you forever...
Both girls bowed in thanks and walked off the stage as the orchestra sat back up quickly and started playing again.
"Len, dance with me!" Neru cheered as she dragged me away.
"I-I..." my friends laughed and waved as I looked over my shoulder.
All of my friends paired off with their crushes...well except Kiyoteru who got stuck with Lily. I feel for the guy, but he looks happy...wait is he blushing!
I snickered to myself, "What are you laughing about, Len?" I nodded towards the brunette dancing with her sister. "Oh, he's always have had a crush on Lily since we first moved here."
"And you've never told her?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. Neru shrugged.
"I like you, Len...a lot." I stared at her in surprise.
"What?!" I asked as I heard Rin laughing and I noticed that she was dancing and having a ton of fun with Nero.
I stopped dancing with Neru as I stared at her, "Len Kagamine, I've liked you for a while now and I know you feel the same. I can't wait anymore for you to ask me out that's why I'm asking now! Will you be my boyfriend?" she clenched her fist and eyes shut, waiting for my answer.
I stared at her while couples danced around us gracefully, while Rin and Nero danced...together.
"What about Nero?" I asked quietly staring at the ground.
"He doesn't mean anything to me, Len, only you!" she said. "Look how happy he is with Rin, I'm not good enough for him and I guess you realize I'll never be good enough for you either."
I looked over at the blond couple laughing together. They do look happy together...
"I-I know you worry about your sister since she's your twin and all, but we both know that Nero won't hurt her and I won't hurt you...I promise." Neru said defeated and vulnerable.
Twin...
I looked up at Rin as she smiled and the song ended, she looked over and smiled at me and waved and looked up at Nero as he took her hand into his.
We're twins...that's all we can ever be...
"Okay..." I said as Neru squealed and kissed me on the lips. I wrapped my arms around her tightly, not letting go anytime soon.
Rin stared at Len and Neru as they kissed, "It's disgusting, let's go!" Nero smiled down at her as he took her hand.
She nodded, "Yeah..." they walked away, Rin glanced one last time at Len over her shoulder before forcing a smile on her face for Nero.
He is your twin, Rin! Get that in your head!
"HI EVERYONE!" Arisa semi-yelled cheerfully into a microphone, gaining everyone's attention since everyone has been having a ball dancing for the last few hours. "I'm Len's manager and it is finally time for everyone to know who his twin is!"
Everyone whispered to each other about the mysterious girl.
"Lenny, get your butt up here!" she ordered as I sighed and walked onto the stage to stand next to her.
"Please come up here, Len's twin!" she semi-yelled, starting to fangirl.
"Looks like you have to go up..." Nero whispered to Rin.
She nodded, "Yeah...looks like it..." Nero tightened his hand around hers supportively and kissed her cheek.
"Good luck!" he smiled, as she blushed and nodded as she walked up onto the stage.
I found Rin and Nero in the crowd after they disappeared while I was with Neru.
How dare he kiss her?
Len, it was just on the cheek, man!
She's mine!
Sorry Lenners, but you gave that up when you started dating and kissing Neru.
Shut up!
Rin stood on Arisa's other side. "Don't they look so much alike!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, talking about how similar we are.
"You two need to sing, now!" Arisa ordered.
I glared at Rin, "I'm not singing with her."
Everyone gasped, "Well, I don't want to sing with you either! Plus I don't need to be around you to gain the attention of a crowd." Rin glared at me as I clenched my fists in anger. "Plus I sing way better than you ever will in your lifetime!"
"No you don't!" I yelled as we each stepped in each other's faces. The bystanders stared at us, thinking it's weird with them fighting because it looks like they are arguing with themselves except for gender differences.
I growled in anger as I jumped off the stage and walked away before I do something I regret.
Arisa scratched her head in embarrassment, "Um...just sing a song for them." she said as she walked off the stage with a frustrated sigh.
"Fine, jeez...everyone has to make little Lenny happy!" Rin muttered angrily as she grabbed a microphone.
Arisa walked towards a garden and noticed that a blond guy was talking with Len. "At least I won't die today because that kid saved my butt from an angry Len." she muttered to herself as she walked over to a punch table for a much needed drink.
"Len." Nero stated walking up to me, I turned around and glared at him.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Rin is your sister and you do that to her in public!"
Sister...ha yeah right!
"She's not my sister!" I growled, clenching my fists.
"Fine, she isn't! Now stop being an ass to your friend and apologize." Nero demanded.
"Why would I need to apologize? I didn't do anything wrong!" I explained waving my arms madly in the air to make my point.
"You kissed Neru... Rin thinks you're making a huge mistake and I agree."
I stared at him, "Did she tell you that?" he shook his head. "Then you wouldn't know."
"We saw you kiss...I'm actually jealous..." he trailed off.
Jealous...of me?
"Why?" I asked with a frown.
He laughed nervously, "I wouldn't have the courage to kiss Rin like that in public..."
"You kissed her, though..." I glared at the taller blond. "I saw."
Nero jumped in surprise, "I-It was just on the cheek, it's not like it was special or anything..." he muttered with a slight rosy blush as he ducked his head.
"It was to Rin." I stated, he looked up at me with his golden eyes wide in shock and...happiness.
"You think so?" I nodded with a slight smile.
"Yeah...she really likes you...she always had."
Nero nodded, "I won't hurt her, I promise."
"You better not or I'll make you ever regret being born." I threatened as we laughed and headed back.
"So you agreed to date Neru...?" he asked as we walked side by side silently.
I nodded, "She asked me while we were dancing, you don't think I made a mistake, do you?" I asked, waiting desperately for a response.
"Len, I can't tell you how to run your personal life or about relationships. For God's sake, I can't even talk to Rin without making a fool of myself." Nero sighed ruffling his bangs.
I gave my friend a confused sideways glance, "Whenever I see you two together you both are laughing about something." I stated.
Nero laughed, "I always do or say something stupid to make her laugh and her laugh makes me laugh." he sighed, I laid a hand on his shoulder.
"It's fine, she likes you." I smiled.
"This song is called Kokoro." Rin said as music started playing inside.
"How would you know?" he asked as I walked back inside towards the crowds of people and music.
"I have my resources!" I said over my shoulder as I waved and headed towards the front followed by a curious Nero as we heard Rin start singing.
A lonely scientist developed a robot
The result was said to be a "miracle"
But it wasn't yet sufficient; there was just one thing he wasn't able to do
And that was the program known as a "heart"
Hundreds of years pass
Left alone
The miracle robot wishes
I want to know, why
Until the end of that person's life
He built a "heart"
For me
Now, movement has started, the miracle is accelerating
Why? My tears don't stop...
Why am I shaking? The beat is accelerating
This is the "heart" I hoped for?
Mysterious, heart, heart, mysterious
I know; there are things to be happy about
Mysterious, heart, heart, mysterious
I know; there are things to grieve about
Mysterious, heart, heart, infinite
How deeply painful...
Now, I've begun to realize the reason I was born
Being on your own is surely lonely
Yes, that day, at that time
All the memories dwelling in my "heart" begin to overflow
Now, I can speak true words
I dedicate them to you
Thank you... for bringing me into this world
Thank you... for the days we spent together
Thank you... for everything you have given me
Thank you... I will sing for eternity
Everyone wiped away they're tears, I smiled and clapped loudly as Rin wiped away a stray tear. She looked down at me as I walked up and hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry...Rin, please forgive me..." I whispered into her hair, she nodded firmly as she hugged me.
Everyone awed and clapped at the heartfelt moment between the siblings.
I held the microphone up to my mouth as we turned to face the crowd again, "We would like to sing one last song for you all." I smiled.
"We do?" Rin asked, I nodded holding up the new song disk she gave me, I pulled it out of her view when she tried to see which one it was.
I handed the disk over, "Len, which one is it?" she glared, I shrugged making her pout.
We both stood next to each other as the music started.
Rin knew instantly which one it was and prepared herself to sing the first lines of the song.
[Rin]
Nobody has ever paid a visit
to this tiny room in the attic.
I'm a frail girl having an empty dream of happiness
in this world of absolute solitude.
[Rin/Len]
One day, in an old mirror,
a boy suddenly appeared.
Introducing himself as a magician,
he smiled at me with a face which bore a striking resemblance to mine.
[Rin]
The wheel of my fate began to turn, and my days began to change.
Is it okay for me to call you my "friend", my very first friend!?
As I hesitantly placed my palm against yours across the mirror,
[Len]
I could sense the magic set in motion.
[Rin]
"Say my name?"
[Rin]
From that hand I was touching, I heard your voice.
It was so warm that my tears started flowing.
Can I really just keep holding your hand?
In this lonely world, by myself, I had waited so long
for your tender hand from the other side of the mirror.
[Rin/Len]
The magician granted all of my wishes.
I was rid of my illness and could walk now.
The long long war has come to an end.
In this quiet room, there is now a lot more laughter.
In the past I once had a dream,
in which I remembered that I used to be a princess in a beautiful castle.
I still remember that nostalgic dream vividly.
And now even that has become reality.
[Rin]
All the wishes I had in my dream have been granted,
but there is something I still want more of:
[Len]
"magic"
[Rin]
which only you are capable of.
[Rin/Len]
"Please never let go of my hand..."
[Rin]
I wish to you
that we would always be together like this,
so please come to me right now.
I'm so lonely that I cannot sleep. Won't you tenderly say my name?
I will always be waiting for you.
[Rin]
The duration of magic is
[Len]
too short.
[Rin]
The lonely girl's "dream"
[Rin/Len]
now reverts back to reality.
[Len]
"I must leave now..."
[Rin]
"Don't leave!"
[Len]
"The magic is wearing off."
"I must bid you goodbye."
[Rin]
"Don't say goodbye..."
[Len]
"Please, don't cry."
[Rin]
"Don't leave!"
[Len]
Everything on the other side of the mirror is "the mirror image" of everything on this side.
Our completely opposite fates will never permit us to be together.
"I merely return to you what you have given me."
I will never forget your smile and your tears.
So please, don't ever forget
me.
[Rin]
I wish we could have stayed together forever.
Even without magic, I want to be by your side.
So please, come to see me once more.
I will polish this old mirror and be waiting for you always.
No matter how much time passes, I will keep on
waiting for you.
We let the music end, the people wiped away tears and smiled up at us and clapped. They talked to each other about how talented me are.
"Thank you for listening!" I smiled, Rin nodded with a bright smile.
Everyone turned to us in that moment and asked at the same time, "What's your name?"
Rin and I laughed as I wrapped an arm around her shoulder and nodded towards the crowd.
"Really?" she asked.
I nodded, "Yep!"
She got this excited look on her face before she took a deep calming breath.
"I'm Rin Kagamine!" she smiled brightly.
