AN:

I felt bad about posting such a short chapter. So I am going to try and get this out quickly. Also, I feel like the story has been slow and uneventful. Im going to change that soon and actually start getting down to the good part of the story. These chapters have mainly been an introduction. I will start getting to more vocaloid stuff soon. If I should include songs and lyrics in the story, offer some suggestions. I know a lt of their songs, but not all. Also I don't know if that is what readers want. I always viewed the lyrics mid story as a space-waster. message me your opinions on the matter.

I do not own vocaloid

Chapter 4

First Person

It has been a couple of weeks since the introduction of the new girl. And, surprisingly, she fit in very well. She joined the group and would mainly hang out with us in and out of school. All of my friends seem to like her enough, but I just can't shake this strange feeling I get from her. I feel like I should be sensing something from her, but as far as I can tell she's human.

With a huge obsession with Rin.

It kind of scares me.

She knows every song that I know Rin sang and some that I had to look up. That really hurt my pride. She knew more about a vocaloid then a vocaloid. Worse, she knew more about someone I call my little sister.

I don't know how to feel about that.

But besides that the time has been pretty peaceful. All of us made several plans for what to do when we get to Catalina Island. Normally, we would've made plans on the fly, but Kyle would have none of that. Dickie spent a long time preparing his camera and making sure the lenses were clean so that he could get the "perfect" shot as he said it. Jessie was doing the same thing. Tyler was just going with the flow and only helped plan a little. And me and marissa just watched the entire process. I was watching Becca because of the feelings I keep getting while marissa would just watch everyone waiting to throw anything.

That is all in the past because i am currently on the boat to Catalina. I can see the island, it is really close now. They actually just announced that we will be docking soon. Everyone scattered and now I am left alone. But before I can find a place to just relax, something catches my eye. I make my way over.

"Damn thing. I thought I would be able to get connection out here…"

I lean my head over Becca's shoulder to see what she is fiddling with. "Whatcha got there?"

Suddenly she tenses up and shoves me away. I see her stow something in her pocket before addressing me, "Oh, its n-nothing. "

I eye her for a moment. "I'm not gonna rat you out if you brought a phone. We all did." I pull out mine for emphasis. "And now we all have no connection. Nothing to worry about."

Her shoulders relax a little, but she doesn't pull out whatever she put away. "yea, I know. I just thought you were a teacher. Thats all… it was a phone…"

Now I am slightly suspicious, but not wanting to be overbearing I let it go. Though, I silently tell myself to watch her later.

Everyone pick up your things, we have just docked

"well then, shall we go?" she asks as she hurries off. Already out of hearing distance of me.

"sigh… whatever."

-time skip-

"Finally… Time to sleep…" Moans dickie as he quickly crawls onto a top bunk.

"I'm with ya Dickie, that was a long trip." Tyler agrees getting on the bunk below him.

Because we left late we got here very late. It was dark by the time we got to our cabins. Everyone quickly chooses their bunks for the stay and prepares for sleep. That is everyone but Becca. She looks… lost? alone? I don't know, its just not an emotion I would expect right now.

"You alright Becca? You homesick?" There Tyler goes being a nice person again.

"I'm fine. I just need rest," she assures, but i can tell she is lying. Everyone else accepts it though, so I ignore it for the time being. Everyone crawls into bed and starts to doze off.

Its been about three hours since that and i'm still awake. Vocaloids don't necessarily need sleep. We are made out of energy, so its kind of not needed. When we get tired we just stand next to an outlet or electrical appliance and siphon off some electricity. It is possible to go into sleep mode to conserve the energy we accumulate, but it leaves the vocaloid wide open for attack. I learned early on in my time alone that that was a bad thing. So I rarely use it anymore.

Normally I would just sit there listening to the sounds around me, but suddenly there was a rustle of bed sheets. I assume its just someone going to the bathroom so I just tilt my head. Seeing Becca get up fully dressed and headed to the front door was something I didn't expect.

She silently slips out and I make the decision to follow to see whats up. I slip out after a moment to sneak behind her to see what she is doing. She goes out of the ring of cabins into the hiking trail to the side on the camp. I follow behind her as she makes her way to the top of the large hill and crawl into a tree to watch what she does up here.

She looks around looking to see if anyone is around, then pulls out something I didnt expect.

A vocalizer.

She taps one of the buttons to activate a hologram screen function. I can't see much of what is on it, but I can see that she has no connection to any satellite or radio or phone. It all makes sense now. She looks like rin. She knows her songs. She generally acts like her. She is Kagamine Rin. And she has been worried because she is now alone. To fend for herself if a virus attacks because she can't call the rest of the vocaloids.

It all comes together.

And as I try to decide how to approach this, fate decides for me. her worries came true as another being walks up the trail.

It walks up and stops behind Rin as she quickly turns around. It looks like a human teenager, but that quickly changes. His grin starts to resemble the cheshire cat's as his entire frame starts to grow. He didn't turn into a hideous monster, so that means he is above level five. But he doesn't look completely human either. His skin took on a tint of red and his hands turned into claws. So that means he is below level nine.

Rin decides to speak first, "W-what level are you?"

In a guttural voice it responds, "7"

Rin gulps and I can see fear in her eyes. Its quite obvious to me that she can't handle a level 7 yet due to her fear alone. Even in her vocaloid form, she probably can only go up to level 6. Me being a powerhouse, don't have this problem. My vocalizer would indeed increase my power output, but I don't need it to fight.

The virus attacks first and in the blink of an eye it is in front of rin. Its claw is extended and ready to strike. It catches her off guard so it has a clear shot and if it lands it looks like it would be lethal.

Acting on pure instinct, i shoot out of the tree i was in and grab the claw, stopping it mid strike. Looks of surprise spread across both of their faces and i take the moment of surprise to figure out what to do. Realizing that we are on a cliffside I smile. I look at the virus and simply say, "bye-bye" as I throw it off the ledge.

I look over to see the virus disintegrating on the floor way below where we currently stand. satisfied with the sight, I turn around and look at the gobsmacked girl.

"Rin, we need to talk."
