Hey guys! Thank you so much for reading! I didn't think I would get that many hits when I uploaded the last chapter ^^; So this needs to be said again: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STICKING WITH ME! You are the reason I write!

By the way, I just rewatched Spirited Away with a bunch of friends and did anyone else notice how many times she fell? I think we hit 16 on our fall count o_O

Enjoy~

The next week was fairly uneventful. Ty wanted us to do a little photo shoot – mostly just silhouettes and face shots for the cover of our debut song. Camille also had us sign something to let the studio create Rin and Len official merchandise – dolls, buttons, stationary, posters, ect. It didn't show at first, but when Rin and I took a short stroll through a local park, we attracted a decent amount of attention. At least, if the phrase 'decent amount of attention' was synonymous with tons of fans screaming as you hightailed it back to your apartment, fearing for your life.

The songs that we were promised were still in production so we were sort of on vacation. At least, Rin and I were on vacation. Meiko, Miku, and Kaito's songs were all to the tune of Rin's Daughter of Evil so all they had to wait for was a rewrite of the lyrics. They were all busy filming while Rin and I explored the crevices of the recording studio. After we had found Meiko's stash of sake and had replaced it all with water, we found a stairwell that led to the roof of the studio. It was as good a hideout as any and, if our predictions were correct, we wouldn't want to be in the studio when Meiko found out about our little prank.

The sun was steadily creeping towards the horizon and Rin and I took up leisurely positions to watch the sunset. We had packed a small picnic of sandwiches and fruit (I bet you can guess what kind they were by now).

I had been watching my sister carefully these past few days. She had seemed completely normal save for one lapse. She had asked if I wanted to accompany her downtown for some crepes. I had asked her if it was possible for me to just quickly pop into the studio to catch a glimpse of the shooting. She had asked whose video was being shot. I replied that it was Miku's and-

Wait. Wait a second. Could that be why…

I figured it out.

"Rin?"

"Hmm?" She asked around a bite of tangerine.

"Do you remember what we were talking about before? When the results came back about our first two songs?"

Her hand was halfway to her mouth with another slice of fruit, but it paused and dropped back into her lap. "I do remember something like that…"

"I- I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but-"

"Yes."

I was taken aback by her abruptness. "What?"

She raised her gaze to meet mine. I saw my eyes staring back at me, but instead of being confused, hers were full on confidence and... fear? "Yes, Miku bothers me."

"How did you-"

"Know?" she finished for me. "Because I know you and you know me."

I swallowed uneasily. "Well um… what is it about her that bothers you?"

"She's…" her voice trailed off uneasily.

"What?"

Rin shook her head, a tear escaping her eye and trailing down her cheek.

I grasped both her hands in both of mine. "Tell me," I pleaded.

Rin raised our joined hands and leaned her forehead on them. "She's taking you away from me."

For a moment, I was too stunned to react, then I laughed. It was probably one of the worst possible reactions for that scenario, but I couldn't help it. The thought was just too incredulous. I was able to choke the sound quickly, but it didn't matter. Rin had obviously heard and now glared at me through tearful eyes.

"What's so funny?" She demanded, yanking her hands back from mine.

That brought another spasm of laughter back. "Just- just the thought," I said between laughs.

"What?" she said again, more loudly.

I was finally able to calm down and, with the laughing smile still on my face, I threw my arm around her shoulders and pulled her into a hug. "There's no way anyone could take me away from you. Ever." When I saw her expression, I repeated, "Ever."

"For real?"

"Forever." I pulled the musical locket out from under my shirt and flicked it open so that its harmony began to play.

Rin took hers out too, but didn't open it. Instead, she stroked the treble cleft printed on the outside and, without looking at me, said, "Do you promise?"

I took her hands again and pressed my thumb over hers so that her locket opened just when mine was rerunning from the beginning. "Rin Kagamine, I promise to always be in your life forever and always."

She let her head drop onto my shoulder and we watched the sunset from the studio's roof, our lockets playing their song in perfect synchronization.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

I also hope that everyone is happy with how Rin's 'jealousy' turned out.

Every review I receive makes me want to write the next chapter even more! Please review!
