Hange So now Akaito is forcing Haku into auditioning for the upcoming concert with Miku and the Vocaloid band. Will Haku bother to get in, and if she decides to go through with this, will she be able to get a roll?

------

I can't believe that you got me into this.

Haku found herself standing in front of the building where they were having the auditions. In front of the door and next to the long line, there was a little advertisement that had Miku's face on it and screamed the headlines "AUDITIONS FOR NICO NICO DOUNGA CONCERT THIS WAY". She walked slowly into the line.

"Thank god you're going to do this." Akaito laughed behind her. "I was gonna force you in this."

"Possessing me to do your deeds." Haku sighed. "Good idea, man."

He laughed as the line went on. In a period of only a few minutes, over a hundred people had massed up behind her. She immediately became nervous, something that Akaito had finally noticed. He touched her shoulders, which made her shiver, but it did take her mind off the auditions. Soon, she was at the sign-in room.

"Your name?" The person asked.

"Haku." She answered. "Haku Yowane."

"OK, here's your number and sign-in sheet." The man handed it to her. "Sign it and wait in this room. Your number will be called shortly."

She sighed as she walked through the line and into the waiting room #1. Since there were so many people in the room, she ended up standing in the corner of the area. She stared at the words on the paper, the ones that she'd seen countless times before, as Akaito stared at it over her shoulder.

"Seems normal enough. Name, age, gender, phone number…" Akaito grinned. "Don't these resumes ever change?"

"No." Haku answered. "The information is always the same. They don't really care for anything else."

"That's interesting." Akaito blinked. "Here I thought that they would be a little more curious on what the people have to offer."

"Well, look who decided to wash up on the shore again."

Haku looked up and saw a figure stare back at her with a grin on her face. She was a typical blond with a perfect figure (half of which is so FAKE), and the Playboy Bunny breasts. Her perfect eyelashes began to flicker as her sky-blue eyes stared at her.

"Hideki. I'm surprised I didn't notice you, with boobs as fake as your voice." She growled.

"Oh, Haku. Don't you know when to quit?" Hideki laughed. "I mean, after so many auditions, I thought that you would get the hint or something."

"Well, at least I got my natural voice." Haku stared at Hideki. "Implant voices such as you make the rest of us look bad."

"Oh come on. The Auto-Tune is the best thing to happen to singers." She rubbed her neck. "Take the hint. Every single person in this room has it. You should get it too or get kicked to the curb…again."

"You obviously forgot the thrill of actually singing." Haku looked sad.

Hideki was about to say something when she decided that she was going to save her voice. She turned and walked away with a strut that made all the guys in the room turn and look. Even Akaito was infatuated by her flawless figure and her blond hair.

"Be grateful you're a ghost, or I would've seriously hurt you at this point."

"Oh come on. I'm a guy, what can I say?" Akaito laughed.

Haku ignored him as she went to sit down in a chair. The people began to file into the audition room and were leaving with more confidence than before. What sucked was that when people were warming up, they all had the Auto-Tune, making her feel even worse.

"Geez, look at all of them. They probably don't know how to sing a tune without that Auto-Tune of theirs."

She turned her head and saw that the man next to her was talking. He looked a little bit like Akaito, only his hair was more of a duller red and held a long string of hair from the side of his head to his knee. He looked like a professional with his glasses and smart-looking green eyes, which made her blush.

"Well, that's the singing business. You have to sound good in order to get anywhere." Haku answered his question.

"Yeah, but back a few years ago, the singing business was only reserved for people with talent." The man turned to Haku. "But by the sound of your voice, you don't have it do you?"

"No. I don't want one, and can't afford one even if I wanted to." She answered.

"That means you still got some sanity in you." He lifted his hand. "My name is Hareta, a singer without Auto-Tune."

"Haku, a being like yourself without the same instrument." Haku shook his hand.

"Someone else with sanity. That's good to hear." Hareta laughed. "When are you going to audition?"

"Um…when they call my number." Haku lifted her number.

"I see." He nodded. "Good luck, Haku. Hopefully, they're willing to hear a real voice in there."

Haku nodded and smiled as the people started to file out of the room. Suddenly, she heard her number being called. Instantly, she felt a wave of panic going through her system as she stood to walk into the room. Turning around, she saw Akaito nod to her to induce confidence, and then walked into the door.
