Wow! Chapter 1 already? Aren't you lucky! :D I'm loving writing this story already. It's so much fun! BTW I've decided the whole story will be in Len's point of view. I've also planned out everything that's going to happen so I wont get stuck. I apologize if I get the Japanese school system confused.

I don't own Vocaloid!

There's A First Time For Everything

Chapter 1: First Day

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Bye mum! Bye dad!"

"Bye kids! Have a good day!"

I trudged out of our little house, hands in my pockets. It was a beautiful Spring's day. I listened to the birds chirping as I gazed around the unfamiliar street. At least it was a pretty street, blossoms blooming and neighbours smiling. Mum and dad had dragged me to far worse places.

My elder sister, Lily, was saying something but I wasn't really listening. I was more focused on where my feet were going. To get lost on the way to your first day at school? Not good.

We were going to Yuujou School. The reason it didn't have junior high after it was because it was one big school with kindergarten, elementary, junior high and high all in one. I guess because Cho is such a small town in the middle of nowhere, it's pointless to have a bunch of different schools scattered everywhere. It makes more sense to have one smack-bang in the middle.

I quite liked Cho. I could see where the name came from. There were butterflies everywhere! Wherever you'd go, a butterfly would surely be there. Also, the field surrounding us were full of the most beautiful flowers. You could smell them everywhere too.

I was used to moving now. Our family had done it so many times I'd almost lost count. I don't know what it was about mum and dad. They just couldn't keep still, constantly scurrying here and there as if they had ants in their pants. They saw something interesting about the place and the next thing we'd know, we were living there.

I hadn't had much experience being a normal kid. I don't mean I was like a circus child or anything. I just wished we could stay put now and then. I'd missed out on so much, including friends.

I don't know how to describe the way the word 'friend' sounded to me. It seemed almost foreign. I'd learnt not to get too close to people since I'd only know them for a couple of months before we moved somewhere else. It didn't matter because no one had ever paid much attention to me. Plus it helped that I was shy and nervous around others.

"Knock, knock! Len! You in there?" asked Lily while gently punching my head.

"Thinking," I replied.

"Come on, you'll be fine! This is…what? Like, the twentieth time we've started a new school? No, I'm sure we've reached twenty five by now. Uh…"

"Twenty three."

"Ah, that's it! My little brother the brainy geek!" chuckled Lily as she grabbed me and gave me a rough noogie.

"Oi! Just cause I'm clever doesn't make me a geek!" I cried, gasping for breath.

"Yes you are! What's that book series you're obsessed with? Ruyo and the dumb dragon?" she teased.

"Ryuu and the Dusk Dragon!" I corrected while freeing myself from her grasp.

"Ok, ok. Relax! I was just teasing. Oh, don't give me that look! Hey, we're here!" she exclaimed and pointed in the direction of a collection of buildings.

There were four light grey buildings. Probably one building per section. There were several yards for the different age groups and I could see people from as young as three to as old as eighteen. The grounds were surrounded with orange and cherry blossom trees. We gazed around in awe at the place. It was probably the best school Lily and I had been to.

Lily began making her way over to the high school section. Suddenly, she turned around remembering me. It was always like that. One minute she a pain in the neck and the next she was all big sister-y and protective. Lily knew how nervous I really was.

"Hey, do you mind if I…uh…"

"Yes, go on. Make friends with that rebellious lot. I'm fine," I told her.

She gave a quick nod, turned, bounced off and yelled, "You'll be ok!"

"Yep," I said softly under my breath.

I decided not to just stand around like a lemon and proceeded to the usual routine. The first thing I always did when starting a new school was find a teacher. I know, weird, but that's what mum and dad told me. I noticed a man with short, brown hair, glasses, a fancy tie and a notebook.

"Um, excuse me sensei. I'm new here and-"

"Ah! You must be Len Kagamine!" said the man.

"H-how do you know my name?" I asked, rather taken aback.

"There's a new boy starting in my class today. His name's Len Kagamine! I'm Hiyama Kiyoteru. You may address me as Kiyoteru-sensei," he explained.

"Thank you Kiyoteru-sensei," I thanked him.

"Now, my class is 2-B so follow me. I'll show you there."

Kiyoteru-sensei led me indoors. It was a lot quieter inside. I supposed since the weather was lovely, everyone wanted to be outside. After a bit of walking through the corridors, we arrived at classroom 2-B.

"Ok, Kagamine-san. Stand over by my desk until the others come in, alright?" Kiyoteru-sensei said.

"Yes, Kiyoteru-sensei," I said and stood by his desk.

A few minutes past and I jumped when the bell went. It was rather loud. A bunch of students began crowding up the classroom. Some noticed me, others did not. I wasn't fussed on this part of going to a new school. But as I said, I was used to it.

"Ok, class. Quiet down. Quiet down," Kiyoteru-sensei hushed. "Today we have a new student." He gestured for me to walk over. I did.

"Hello. I'm Kagamine Len. I look forward to learning here at Yuujou," I said politely while bowing. The class instantly started whispering.

"Kagamine?" said a green haired girl.

"Do you think he could be-" began a blue haired boy.

"Related to her? I doubt it," snapped a blond girl with a ponytail.

"Come to think of it, they look similar…" muttered a girl with long, teal twin tails.

I didn't have a clue what they were talking about. Related to who? I'm related to Lily, but she's not in this section of the school. Could it be she's shown herself to these lot already? No, she couldn't have. Could she?

"Quiet class! Now, Kagamine-san, we sit in alphabetical order from family names. So if you'd next to Kagamine-san over there," he said and pointed to the back of the room.

What? How could I sit next to myself?

I looked at Kiyoteru-sensei with a confused expression and he said, "Kagamine-san, please raise your hand so Kagamine-san can find you."

I was about to raise my own hand when I noticed movement out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head and my attention caught a girl sitting on her own at the back of the class…with her hand up. I gave a small gulp and headed in her direction.

As I came closer, I began to take in her features. She was quite a small girl with a skinny frame. She had shoulder length, golden hair with thin, black clips holding her bangs in place. She had the biggest, bluest eyes I'd ever seen. It was almost like looking at me in girl form. I was beginning to understand what the other students were talking about.

I cautiously sat down next to her and my nose was instantly met with a orange scent. I wondered what kind of person would smell like oranges. But strangely, I liked it. At least she doesn't smell of dirty socks like the last kid I was stuck next to.

Taking out my books and pencil case, I began listening to what Kiyoteru-sensei was saying. Although, I was rather distracted because the majority of the class where looking at me. Half the girls were even blushing! I was confused. Why were they blushing? The girls in my old school had never taken a liking into me before!

After a while of people staring at me and feeling really awkward, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I tensed and looked to the side. It was Kagamine-san.

"So…your name's Kagamine, right?" she asked.

"R-right," I replied.

"Me too! I'm Rin. Kagamine Rin. Nice to meet you!"

"Yeah…you too."

"Isn't it cool how we've got the same last name?" she chirped.

"Uh, I suppose."

"I don't think we're related. If we are, I've never heard of you. You could be my long lost cousin!"

"Huh?" I turned to Kagamine-san and stared at her in disbelief.

"Just joking. Hey, have you ever-"

"Kagamine-san! Stop the whispering!" snapped Kiyoteru-sensei.

Kagamine-san turned rather pink and mumbled, "Sorry, Kiyoteru-sensei."

The class began to chuckle. Kagamine-san just slid down into her seat. She looked very miserable. I wondered why. Couldn't she stand the class having a little joke? Plus she went from being all bubbly to being as quiet as a mouse. There's more to this girl than meets the eye, I decided.

What felt like hours of taking notes and being stared at by half the girls finally ended and the lunch bell rang. Kagamine-san let out a small giggle when I jumped. That bell was horrible. I got all my things together and started to leave the classroom.

"Hey! W-wait!" called a voice, but I ignored it. I knew it was Kagamine-san. For some reason I wanted to escape from her. Perhaps it was from the shock of meeting her. Who wouldn't be freaked out by meeting someone with the same last name who looks a lot like you?

I made a mad dash for the cafeteria. Then I realised something. I didn't know where the cafeteria was! I walked over to the nearest person who happened to be the blue haired boy I saw earlier in class.

I worked up my courage and asked, "Uh, can you p-please tell me wh-where the cafeteria is?"

The boy chuckled and replied, "Sure, new guy. This way."

He began walking and I sheepishly followed. I was receiving more and more stares by the minute. What was it with people in that school? No one had ever paid that much attention to me before. I was just geeky, little Len who got in the way.

We finally arrived at the cafeteria and the blue haired boy said, "Here's the junior high cafeteria. Wanna sit down with me and my friends?" he offered.

I began to panic and my knees shook a bit. "Um…I…I…"

"Come on, dude!" he laughed, grabbed my arm and hauled me over to a table. Around it were a number of boys from class 2-B. Others I didn't know. "Guys! I bought Kagamine-san over here!"

The others didn't look too bothered about my existence at their table. Still slightly alarmed, I sat down next to the blue haired boy. I dove into by bag to pull out my bento and slowly started to eat.

"My name is Shion Kaito by the way," said the blue haired boy.

I wasn't listening properly for my attention was focused on something, or rather someone else. Kagamine-san had just entered the cafeteria and was looking around. At first I thought it was for me but then I noticed the worry in her eyes. It was almost as if she was looking for someone who was going to chop off her head. She made her way through the people, still looking, when some girls surrounded her.

"So, Rinny where's the assignment?" sneered a girl with long, navy hair.

"W-what?" stuttered Kagamine-san.

"Don't tell me you forgot," growled a girl with short, red hair. Her tone was dangerously dark.

"I might of…" Kagamine-san trailed off.

"We gave you a whole day!" shrieked a girl with pink hair that was tied in a short ponytail. Something told me she was the leader.

"I-I had my o-own work and-"

"No excuse!"

I heard a sigh and looked over to Shion-san. "They're at it again. Kagamine is gonna get a black eye at least this time," he commented and the others hummed in agreement.

"What? Black eye? How?" I asked. What did he mean?

"Oh, that Kagamine girl is always a victim of Akuma gang. Never does what they say! They almost broke her arm once," explained Shion-san in a casual voice.

I stared at him in horror. "What do you mean? Doesn't anyone do anything?!" I exclaimed.

"Uh, no. She's too weird that one. A right old geek with no friends. No one bothers with her, no one ever has. Anyway, better her than me," he chuckled.

I couldn't believe what he was saying. How could someone act like that? Even though I wasn't sure of Kagamine-san I still wanted to help. That's what someone would usually do, right? Well obviously not something Shion-san would.

I shoved my bento back into my bag and stood up. "I'm going to do something then," I growled.

"Listen, don't get mixed up with that Kagamine girl. I'm sure it will just cause you trouble. Especially with the Akumas," warned Shion-san but I didn't answer. I was already making my way over to the group of girls.

I walked up behind them. Kagamine-san's azure eyes grew even bigger when she saw me. Frowning, I poked the pink haired girl in the back. She turned around and snapped, "What the hell do you want?"

"I want you to leave Kagamine-san alone."

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Is that cliff hanger-y enough for you? Right, I'd just liked to point some things out. Cho means butterfly. Yuujou means friendship. Ryuu means dragon and Ryuu and the Dusk Dragon is just something I randomly made up. Akuma means devil. Fitting for those girls, yes?

Please review! :) (I'm aiming for 4 before I post the next chapter!)
