Well, here we go! On to the next chapter. Please... don't be angry with me for this chapter. I, too, think it's a very... sloppy chapter, especially at the end. Trust me, this is ONLY the beginning... I'm planning on making this a long story [and then have it go unfinished like all the others...] and making it interesting. So just give it some time to start up, for I have plenty of plans in my mind for this and to where it is going...

Disclaimer: I don't own the Vocaloid programming, I only own the story. Credit for Vocaloid programs are to go to Yamaha or Crypton and the fanmade Vocaloids used are to be treated as their creators works. I am merely using them to make the story more interesting. K, enough of that... on with the story!

Chapter 2

Tension in the air was almost sliceable as the red glare radiating out of the pod flooded the room like a bloody river. Frantic and scared, Kaito immediately grasped the cords connected to him and planned on ripping out the cords, when Master spoke to him from behind the computer monitor.

"Kaito, don't. This is what we need to fix. Just stay calm and I'll fix it." Clicking away, Master gave all of his concentration on the multiplying pop-up windows appearing on his screen. Barely able to keep up with all the windows, Master sighed and leaned back in his chair, watching as his background was buried beneath the windows. He looked up at Kaito to check to see how he was doing.

Kaito's blue eyes reflected the red lights that now engulfed his body. Worry was all over his face as he looked around him as if examining the area he knew, waiting for whatever it was to calm down. His systems were obviously unaffected by everything that was happening.

"Are you doing alright?" Master asked gently to reassure his conclusions.

Kaito turned to him, his eyes glazed over with fright. "I… I think so…"

"You seem like your doing alright." He changed his attention back to the monitor, which had stopped spawning the windows. The message on the multiple pop up windows read 'System Error', but obviously it wasn't what it claimed to be. Master began to click out of the numerous windows, which took a good five minutes. After, he opened up the recording program and was once again spammed with the same amount of windows and was forced to go through the same process of closing them all.

Sighing, Master scratched his head. He closed the recording program moments after closing out the pop-ups and then went through files upon files, scanning each of them that he had installed into Kaito's programming. When nothing seemed to turn up, he stood up and walked over to Kaito and stood in front of him, putting his hand to his chin.

"Master?" Kaito's voice seemed leery of what his Master was thinking. Continuing to ponder through his thoughts, Master came to a conclusion.

"I really have no idea what's wrong with you, but whatever it is isn't really harmful to your major system data. If it was, you'd be going berserk right now." Meiko stepped forward and stood next to her creator.

"But if that was true, then why did the lights turn red?" She quarried.

"I don't know… but if it's not affecting him at all, then it's not harmful." Master sighed again and closed his eyes. "This is kind of frustrating… for now we'll have to let it reside in him, whatever it is. If it starts to corrupt his programming, then I'll have to…" He stopped, not wanting to say what he would have to do. "Of course, it's too early to be thinking that right now anyway." He looked up and smiled reassuringly at the Vocaloid. "So for now, don't worry about it. If something strange happens, tell me, okay Kaito?" Kaito nodded slowly, still showing concern on his face.

"Good. Let's go back upstairs. You're free to disconnect Kaito." The Vocaloid followed his Master's orders and disconnected from the wires. As he walked away, the red lights faded back to blue. As they began to start towards the stairs, the computer and the pod went into sleep mode, their lights and aura's fading into black.

They climbed the stairs and made their way to the living room only to find Miku, Rin and Len randomly playing Twister in the middle of the living room floor. It seemed that while they were waiting for Master and the other two to return, they got bored and found the game and decided to play. Miku had been in a bridge position, her feet at one end and her hands at the other, stretching her body to its full potential. Over and under her were the twins weaved into a tangled mess.

Master only sighed as he watched them. "I see you've stumbled upon my Twister game…" Since Len's face was the only one that seemed to be facing him, he nodded and smiled a goofy smile.

"This is our third game! I haven't lost yet!" Len proclaimed with pride. Rin, who had been under both, Miku and her brother, grinned evilly.

"You shouldn't be so prideful Len!" She threatened. "Meiko, you should flick the spiny thing! None of us can reach it and it's been my turn for a long time." Meiko laughed and then went over to where the spinner had been placed and flicked it.

"Right foot blue Rin." Meiko informed. Rin's laugh suddenly rang throughout the room as she took her foot and swept it across the Twister board. Coincidentally, her foot rammed into Len's, making Len collapse with a thud on top of Miku and Rin.

"REVENGE!" Rin cried hoarsely from under Miku and Len. Apparently, Len had done something in one of the games before to make Rin mad. Miku laughed as she laid in the pile, officially the middle of a Kagamine sandwich. Master, Meiko and Kaito all joined in on the laughing that lasted until Len got off the top of the pile and stood up.

"That's not revenge!" He objected. "You didn't win you know, we all lost that one." Miku and Rin then joined him, standing on either side.

"Stop being so technical Len!" Scolded Rin, a smile across her face as she wrapped both arms around her brother's arm.

"Yeah! We had fun, ne?" Miku joined in, grabbing hold of Len's other arm. The boy sighed and then gave his own smile.

"Yeah yeah, I know." A laugh came up as he smiled and looked at the two girls on either side. "I definitely had fun beating you girls! Shows that girls AREN'T always more flexible!" With that, he unchained his arms from Miku and Rin and bolted off to Kaito's side, hoping that he would serve as protection. The two girls just sighed and shook their heads.

"Hey, Kaito-nii…" Len said while looking up at his human shield. "Did Master ever figure out what that message said?" Kaito replied with a small, sheepish laugh.

"Not really. The message that I saw didn't pop up, but there were other messages… Many other messages… that did. But since it's not doing anything to Kaito's systems, we have left it be." Master added, looking over at Len. Len looked back and then shrugged his shoulders and walked back to where Miku and Rin were.

"Kaito-nii has always had some sort of screw loose anyway." He teased, sticking his tongue out at Kaito. Knowing what his reaction would be, Len began to giggle a little bit. Just as he predicted, the blue haired Vocaloid blinked an then frowned a little.

"Eh? What are you talking about Len?!" Kaito rebelled, giving a semi-confused glare at Len. His reply was the boy's laughter.

Cutting them off, Master coughed a couple of them and then clapped his hands together to get their attention. "It's late and I'm tired! Anyone else who is tired can go get some rest or go to the recharging center. I myself, am going to go sleep." As he turned, he mentioned one last thing. "Don't forget, the recharging center may be a faster way to charge and it may allow you to stay up without sleep, but sleeping is better for your systems." He waved and left up to the second floor where his bedroom was. The Vocaloids watched their Master disappear into the ceiling and then left for their own rooms as well.

Ahh, and there we have it. The end to this chapter... the oh so ... uh... cliched ending... but it's not the end COMPLETELY. Time to see what Akaito is doing, neh? On to the next chapter to see it!
