Disclaimer: I do not own Vocaloid. Or any Vocaloid songs mentioned. Or Resident Evil or the PS3. The list could go on forever. :D

Also,

I'M ALIVE! No, not really. But apparently I'm updating. Even though it took me... What four months! I SUCK! D:

I'm so sorry for taking a decade to upload this. My writer's block has been killing me! And I actually haven't written anything at all since the last chapter. Well, besides school work.

So, here is the next chapter. :) It's not that amazing. But I've been having major troubles writing. D: Please tell me if there is any grammatical or spelling errors. Thanks! Also thank you to all the awesome reviews I got for chapter 7! Super special awesome! 8D I'm just rambling.

Anyway, on with the story.

Boredom

Len POV

I fiddled with the notches on the radio until I finally decided to shut it off. Currently, I wasn't in the mood for anything on the radio. I turned my focus back to the dirt road as I made a sharp left, moving out of the canopy of trees. This area was pretty rural and long, though I liked seeing the scenery here. It was full of plant life, and some animal life. A break from the technology of the city, though it always felt somewhat isolated and lonely. But I didn't mind it that much, since I was used to it by now.

I had only recently dropped Rin off near her school; well I guess it wasn't all that recently anymore since I've been driving back for about an hour. It took such a long time to get from the city to my home. All of us vampires lived away from the main towns and cities. Well, basically on the outskirts of them. We'd look a little odd if all of us were walking around only at night. And we all live together in a large house, well really a mansion, and always have. I guess it's something about what we are, or that we feel safer all together. Probably both.

I yawned as I advanced onto a gravel driveway, and slowed as I reached the gateway surrounding our mansion. The gate was an elaborate design, with black metal ornately twisting up its sides and ending in spikes. It connected to two black pillars, which were attached to a fence in the same design of the gate. It towered over and surrounded our entire property, making it difficult for any… intruders to get in. I turned towards the glass screen attached to the pillar at my left. Then slightly tapped on it when no one came on. The only way to get into the property was to identify yourself with the computer. But everyone had to be lazy and never answer the damn thing. And it beeps when someone pulls up, so it's really not that hard of a job.

"Hey, hey. Anyone there?" I impatiently frowned at the screen.

It blinked a few times and revealed a girl's face, slightly smiling.

"Oh sorry Len. I was playing sudoku. Didn't notice you'd come back." She ended in a nervous laugh.

"Yeah… You have fun with that. Now will you open the gate already Tei?" I muttered, scratching my forehead.

"Sure thing Len!" She said with an embarrassed tone in her voice.

"Thanks." I impatiently muttered.

She blinked her crimson eyes and reached above my field of vision. Probably pressing a switch or button that would activate the gates' mechanism.

Shortly after, a small click came from the gates and they slowly parted from one another. They were such old, stubborn things so it took awhile for them to open fully. Tei disappeared from the screen, and I impatiently tapped my fingers against the wheel. The gates moved into their resting-place, giving out a loud metallic clash as they did so.

I began to drive into the property, the gravel switching to an old stone. Turning my gaze away from the path I noticed how enormous the oak trees lining the corners of the estate were now. They were also incredibly overgrown, but at least they gave lots of shade and privacy. We could probably use a gardener though. Nothing in the front was taken care of, and it was full of weeds. Not exactly that appealing to look at. And it's not like anyone of us wanted to go outside and dig up weeds while their skin and eyes were burning. Thankfully mine aren't right now, wearing sweaters and sunglasses are very helpful.

I turned the car to the left and parked in a small area surrounded by trees. I didn't really care if this thing got wet I'd just buy a new one. And Dell and Akaito always take up the damn garage. I turned off the engine then yanked the keys out. Shoving them into my sweater pocket after doing so. Unbuckling my seatbelt I leaned back in my cushioned seat and tapped the steering wheel lazily. Then shoved my hand into my pant pocket and pulled out my cellphone, checking to see if Rin had replied yet.

"She is so slow." I muttered, as I looked at my inbox, which had no new messages.

Flipping the phone shut I grasped the door's handle and gripped down, pushing it open. Then climbed out onto the weeded grass. Kicking the door shut I began to walk out of the alcove and back onto the main stone driveway. I yawned as I stepped into the center of the residence. Then mentally cringed at the hideous fountain in front of me.

"Why do we even have that thing!" I dramatically yelled lifting my hands in the air, "I don't get it!'

It was so freaking random. There wasn't even a sculpture or anything in the middle. It was just a bunch of… jets? They shoot out water into the air then fall back down. That was all it did, it didn't even have a cool pattern. It was pointless, and.. and. We are vampires! Why would we need a fountain! It makes no sense! But apparently everyone else likes it. Even though they rarely go outside. I think we should get rid of it.

Irritatedly grunting I walked around the stupid fountain and towards my home. After a few steps I looked up at the incredible structure. The mansion was made of a pale, red brick and was pretty much the size of the lot. Which is pretty huge. Its foundation was made of concrete, but covered by overgrown plants and flowers. The mansion consisted of four floors. The top two were made up of everyone's personal rooms. The second had an enormous ballroom, which we basically used for anything and a large dining room that connected to the kitchen. And also a couple other unnamed rooms, it also had my room down there. There weren't that many bedrooms and such on the second floor though. Definitely not as much as the third and fourth. The bottom floor, which was actually underground, kept all our supplies and equipment. I blinked and looked up at the many windows, that were somewhat cracked, on each floor. They were all closed and ivory curtains hid the rooms behind them.

Marching across the stone I finally reached a black, metallic, staircase. It led up to the main doors of the mansion that were made of a dark oak. Which were covered in elaborate designs, and had two large silver handles on each side. I ran my hands along the railings of the staircase, which were also made of metal and coloured black. Some vines climbed onto the railings and wrapped themselves around them. They also climbed up the brick and dug into it, making holes and cracks. This place was getting pretty old and unkept.

At the top of the staircase I turned my gaze back towards the lawn, just lazily looking at all of its features. Then grasped both of the doors handles and thrust them open. I stepped inside, the door quickly closed after me and I began to walk forward.

I strolled along the dark red carpet and took off my sunglasses, shoving them into my pocket after doing so.

And then let my eyes wander along the hallway's features. The walls were made of a dark wood, and had some carvings in them. There were a few wooden tables resting up against the walls with lamps or other small objects on them. And a couple mirrors, with golden trims, hug on the wall. And yes, I can see myself in mirrors. I'm not even sure how people made up that myth.

Shoving my hands into my pockets I mentally grumbled about how there was barely any lighting in this hallway. Sure my eyes are good at seeing in the dark, but this hallway is pretty eerie. It freaks me out, I'm just waiting for Dell to pop out of nowhere and tackle me. It's happened before, and I almost peed my pants. Dell seriously needs to stop being such a weirdo.

Finally reaching the end of the hallway, I brushed myself off a bit then gripped both handles of the dark oak door infront me. (Which was quite similar to the main door, just not as elaborately designed.) And yanked it open.

I cracked my neck, and straightened my back. Then marched inside the room with my chin up, the doors

quickly closed after me.

Many crimson eyes turned towards me as I stepped inside. This was the main room, where we all spent most of our time. And I always tried to make a confident and semi-respectable impression when I was in here. I felt kind of stupid though, since everyone was dressed formally. Like usual. And I was wearing jeans and a sweater. Well, whatever.

I smugly smirked as most of the vampires in the room nodded at me. Then I strolled across the red carpet, which had elegant, pale yellow flowers sew in it. Chandeliers decorated by glass were hung throughout the enormous room. Each was moderately large and the area they hung over was well lit. Though there weren't all that many, thus the room was a little dark.

I continued along the enormous room, passing by vampires conversing on couches and drinking. I didn't exactly know where I planned to go. Maybe to my room? Yeah, that was probably best. Since I'm wearing these clothes. I briefly glanced down, then shoved my hands into my pockets.

I slightly swerved towards the left, walking around sofas and tables. There was a heck of a lot of furniture spread out along this room. Finally, stopping at a large wooden door, I yawned, and gripped onto one of the handles. Opening the door, and stepping inside.

"I'm bored," I muttered to myself. Now that Rin was gone there was nothing to do and no one to hang out with. Apparently most of us don't like video games here. It's so annoying.

As I strode along the hallway I pulled out my cellphone. Flipping it open after I did so, I checked if Rin had replied. Nope, she hadn't.

"Oh god, am I really that bored to have to constantly check my messages? I'm pathetic." I huffed.

Deciding to text her, because I really had nothing better to do, I gave a simple, "Hey, I'm bored D:" Then left it at that.

As I sent the message I absentmindedly opened the door to my room then closed it once I was inside.

Once again shoving the cellphone into my pocket I gazed around the room looking for anything interesting to do. Settling my eyes on the t.v. I decided to do what any bored man alone in his room with a t.v. would do.

Play video games.

Walking across the carpet I crouched down in front of the t.v. then opened up the glass cabinet it was sitting on. That's where I kept my stash of games. Sifting through all the racing games, shooter games, and fantasy games, I settled on Resident Evil 5. Since killing zombies is tons of fun. Though Dell always says they aren't zombies but infected. Yeah whatever it's the same thing, isn't it?

Grabbing the case, I snapped it open and grasped the disk from inside. Then placed it in my PS3. Though I did have other game systems, I liked the PS the most, and had the most games for it. It's got a pretty sweet menu. And I always change my background colour to yellow. Even though Akaito says it looks like piss. He's just crazy.

Grabbing the t.v. and PS remote I walked over to my bed and plopped down on it. Stretching my arms, I yawned and turned on the t.v. Then switched to the other remote. After turning it on I went to my account. The background glowing a bright yellow.

"Aww, it does look the piss." I sighed in realization, "Stupid Akaito, and Rin needs to be more crafty and text during classes. Well at least Resident Evil will keep me entertained. My life is so uneventful."

Rin POV

I twirled my blonde locks around my index finger and let out a long lasting sigh. Then contorted my face back into a pout.

I didn't know how long I'd been in my room. But I guessed it had been quite a while. After school Lily had dragged me home then questioned and lectured me for what seemed like hours. I just made up bullshit excuses for why I'd been missing so long. And why I had been with some guy named Len. Overall, my story was total crap. But hopefully she'll believe it. She is pretty easy to manipulate, probably why guys like her so much.

Anyway, she had taken my phone from me. Thankfully after I had locked it, so she won't be reading any of my messages. Sucker. But I didn't get any time to text Len back, even though he was messaging me so often. Well, one or twice. But I was in class! And I'm not about to be stupid and text while my strict teachers are giving some intense lecture. If they found out I'd be so screwed, then Len's paying for that phone would be useless.

After all the arguing and swarm of questions I ended up ditching and locking myself in my room. Sure, Lily slammed on the door a couple times and yelled at me to come out. But since when have I ever done what she's said? Now I just wished I had a t.v in here to entertain myself. And also maybe a fridge. And a milkshake machine. But I have no idea where to find one of those things. Oh well, at least my bed is really comfy.

I unfolded my legs and stretched them across the bed. My shortness made them nowhere close to the edge. Which was pretty good actually, because having my feet hang over the end of the bed would be creepy. Who knows what kind of things could grab them? Then again I'm just paranoid. About everything. Especially nowadays. Stinkin' vampires.

"I really hope this whole problem with me being gone for a week won't be a constant conversation between me and Lily." I muttered.

Fiddling with my thumbs now I considered anything entertaining to do in my room. I'm not really sure why I was just sitting in here waiting. For what? Really. But then again, I'd rather do this then deal with Lily again. Or Mikuo. I've had enough awkward conversations today. And I've had lifetimes worth of conversations between my sister and crush about their sexual activities. Oh God save me.

I mentally slapped myself for bringing those thoughts up again. I really didn't want to picture that in my mind.

Trying to get my mind off of things I began to sing to myself. I song I had actually written.

"I can't understand your mind

I can't understand the distance between you and me

Not far away or too close…Just right next to me

Distance between you and me

Spread out

At regular intervals

Parallel lines"

I stopped singing there since I had written much more. And I had planned on this song being a duet. Between a couple or something, or two close people. Something I've never really had. Ugh, I should probably stop reading my cheesy mangas all the time. It's ruining my brain. (In a good way. Maybe.)

I glanced over to my clock, 6:30 pm. Not bad. Smiling to myself then stretching my arms, I let out a loud yawn. And decided that I'd just go to sleep since it'd be the most time killing thing to do. Slumping down into my bed, I snuggled my face up against my cozy pillow and pulled the covers over me. Closing my eyes, I snuggled deeper into my pillow and smiled. Sleeping was one of my favourite activities.

I woke up with a jolt, immediately lurching up in bed. My eyes wide and my brow dripping with sweat.

I blinked repeatedly until I finally had calmed myself down. Which took about five minutes. Once I was somewhat relaxed, I began to think.

That dream… I had had it again. The one that I first saw months ago. Though it was longer this time. It felt like I fell so much further. And those red eyes, they must be a vampire's. But why was he so calm about seeing someone fall to their death? Then again, if it is a vampire I'm sure they'd be some kind of sadist. Or maybe not, it's not like I know anything.

I scratched my head, pondering all these thoughts. But what I wondered the most was…

Why was I having this dream again?

A/N:

Okay... I hope that chapter wasn't too bad! Or too short! :D It took me like four months to write so... D: Woops. And it was basically just describing where Len lived, and how he tries too look cool infront of all the other vampires. And how Rin really doesn't care about her sister. XD

XD I hope you guys are still enjoying this, and don't hate me too much for being so late. I can't promise another update quickly either. Sorry. D8

Len and Rin rant so much, and scowl so much. Hehe. :D And Parallellines is so random. But I really love that song. And also Secret Police. 3

Also... A tea party with pie, cookies, cake, and icecream to any reviewers! Bam! It's also got cool Len stuffies for anyone who wants 'em. Oh yeah! :D

You readers and reviewers seriously rock! Thanks guys! I love you all! Please forgive my tardyness! :) And don't forget to review! *wink* *wink*
