Chapter Eleven 1.0

"A purple butterfly on your right shoulder..."

"Mmmm... huh?" As my eyes flickered open, they were blinded by the sun which had already risen to the center of the sky.

"We kissed, in the corner of the room..."

I could still hear the relaxing sound of the waterfall gushing, but it had been quieted by distance. I was no longer standing nude in the Moon Pool, my legs spread apart as Len pressed his lips against mine. 'He must have moved me,' I thought, 'Otherwise, I probably would have drowned!' I was now sitting on a soft, plush bed of moss that was warm to the touch, almost like a blanket. The sensation of wrapping my synthetic skin in it's heat made me homesick, but just for a moment. Because then, I heard a sound so sweet and pure, it nearly erased all traces of the mainland from memory.

"Learned what it's like to have a heartrending feeling. Sounds of a piano rebounded, dissonance in my head. Ah ~"

Slowly, I stood, my wobbly legs uneasy at first. But I soon gained self-control and slowly stepped towards that noise. A sound so beautiful my ears felt guilty of hearing it. As I brushed away a thick wad of leaves and vines, the culprit was clear. There sat Len, tail and all, on a rock at the edge of the pool. He was right next to the waterfall, dipping his hair into it to clean himself up. It was a magnificent sight to behold, but not nearly as special as hearing him sing.

"Ah ~ Na na na na ~ Ah ah ~" As the words cheerfully left his lips, I swooned. He sounded like an angel, so sweet, almost delectable. I urned to hear more, just a few more words, but then, it hit me.

"WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU LEARN THAT SONG?" I shouted in anguish and confusion, subsequently tumbling down into the water and landing with a splash. Len stopped his enigmatic yet entrancing siren's song just to look at me, his face also displaying bewilderment. I took in a deep breath (I needed it after all of a sudden being self-tossed into the water), then stared right back, completely befuddled. "Where did you learn Migikata No Cho?" I coughed, "My friend Rin made that song famous all over Japan, but how could you have heard it?"

He paused for a moment, then answered. "The speaking gadget!" Len giggled. Though this only left me even more puzzled than before. Suddenly, Len turned, and stuck his arm behind the stream of water covering the cave. What he pulled back out looked like... an old radio? "This is the speaking gadget," He explained, quite proud at seemingly figuring such a device out all on his own, "The songs, it plays, and the music. But only some of the times..." He used his other hand to motion to the small hand-crank radio as the signal began to leave and it emitted static. "From the ship, it came!"

'I see, so it must have come from a crashed boat...' I pondered, scratching my chin in deep thought. But my head perked back up as the sound of Rin's voice returned (still scratchy, but listenable), and Len began singing along once more. I could have sworn they sounded just alike.

"You like to sing, Len?" I asked, interrupting his beautiful voice. He didn't seem to mind, though.

"Yes," He nodded, "Len loves to sing!" He giggled happily, then went back to finishing up the song. When he was done, he turned the volume to mute and set the radio aside. When he turned back around, he began to look me over, almost examining me. "Does Kaito-nii sing?"

"Yeah," I answered calmly, trying to keep Len from noticing my blush as he leaned in closer, "I sing professionally. It's one of my favorite things to do."

"Then Len and Kaito will sing together!" Len cried out with glee, splashing his tail about excitedly. I sighed, trying my best to smile, but eventually my face fell, Len's soon coming with me. "W-what wrong, Kaito-nii?" He stuttered, reaching out and brushing his soft, delicate hand over my cheek.

I sighed, dreading the moment, but I had to answer. "I can't sing for you, Len," I told him bluntly, "I'm not allowed to."

"But..."

"Len, I'm sorry! But, the company who owns us, the Vocaloids, like the one you just heard singing on the ra- I mean, speaking gadget, they don't let us sing without their permission."

"Huh? Why no singing allowed?"

"If we sing on our own, someone could record it, and they could loose money. I'm sorry Len, but if I sing for you, when I get back to Tokyo, I'll be in big trouble." I kept my eyes on my feet as they sat awkwardly at the bottom of the pool. But then, a sudden splash brought my head back up. Len's fist was curled and it had just triumphantly hit the water. His eyebrows were furrowed (in the most adorable way) and he seemed absolutely furious.

"Well then," He began, almost like he was trying to start some triumphant speech, "Len will go to Tokyo! Len will tell them they are mean! And Len will help Kaito get allowed to sing!" I smiled at his determination. It was so cute, I just couldn't let him down. I needed to find a way to sing with him, somehow. And then suddenly, it came to me.

'Len must become a Vocaloid!'

I have a question. What would you think if I added a Yaoi scene into this? I'd change the rating to M and all, but I just wanted to know if you guys wanted the story to go in that direction. Cuz if you'd like that, I'd be excited to try and write it for you. This is the first chapter in the Len turns Vocaloid story. Leave reviews to tell me what you think, or just to tell me anything at all. Reviews give me warm fuzzies. Hope you enjoy! ^-^

p.s. Chapter 11 2.0 will be similar to this one. Their might even be some copy-and-pasted stuff in it.

p.p.s. I don't hate Yamaha! In fact, my family has owned several Yamaha pianos and keyboards. So, in this story, I'm going to be inventing a separate sister company that deals with the Vocaloids specifically.

p.p.p.s This chapter is bothering me a little, so it might get re-written. Just a warning!
