A/N: Gaah! My chapters are getting shorter! I must write longer chapters! Going to work on that next chapter. Anyway, enjoy chapter 14.

Chapter 14: All Work and Some Serious Play

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Sa ezanuki no sai!"

"Rin, you're really struggling with this, aren't you?"

Rin and I had been practicing "Daughter of Evil" for a couple hours with no success. She was struggling with the first line. She couldn't make the oh's sound like laughter.

"I really can't. I'm sorry, Rei." Rin was almost crying.

"Rin, you don't need to cry," I smiled. "Go sit down for a few minutes. Len! Let's try 'Servant of Evil'."

"Alright," he grinned goofily.

He had no problems with his song. Then again, he helped write it. It was the sequel to Rin's song. Her frustration showed on her face as Len continued.

"Rin, your part is coming. Be ready," I instructed.

"Wait!" she screamed.

"What is it?"

"Why is Len's song easier than mine?"

"Because I knew you could live up to the challenge," I grinned.

"Really?" She asked perkily.

"Do you want to try again? Len already has his down."

"Okay!"

Rin had it this time. After the one line she struggled with passed, she had it. Len smiled as her sister had the excitedly jumped around for joy. I didn't even have to slow the tempo for her.

We took our five minute break after a few times of hearing the twins sing. Luka knocked on the door. Len ran to open it for her.

"Hi, Rei!" she smiled.

"Hey, Luka," I smiled back.

"So, how is 'Perfect Crime' going?" she asked.

"I have the music, but I still need lyrics," I explained.

"That's it?" she asked. "I thought you would've had more than that."

"I've been working on my saga!" I snapped.

"Someone isn't used to working," Len and Rin sang.

"Len, Luka, it's your song," I smirked. "How about you two write the lyrics?"

"I'll think of you when I do," Len smiled.

"Oh! By the way, have you heard Toshiaki's new song for Gumi?" Luka grinned.

"You mean 'Eye Examination'?" I asked.

"Yeah, they're recording it tomorrow," she smiled.

"That's going to flood the music download sites," I laughed. "It's an amazing song."

"Yeah, Toshiaki is proud of it. It saved his job," Luka stated.

"Rei, break's over," Rin sighed.

"Okay," I sighed, "talk to you later, Luka."

"Alright, ttyl."

After another hour of practice with Len and Rin, it switched to Tensoh practice. Tensoh practice is always tricky. Each week, the songwriters took turns leading practice. Unfortunately, the four never focus. The other three writers and I dread it.

"Hi, guys!" I smiled as Kiyo, Kaito, and Gakupo walked in the door.

"Hi, Rei!" They waved.

"Today, we're practicing 'Brilliant Diamond' and 'Borderline and Innocent'."

"Brilliant Diamond" went first. The boys actually focused through the entire song. I thought it was a miracle, but then, we started "Borderline and Innocent". It quickly went down hill. They got off track and started talking about completely random subjects. After yelling for them to focus, I gave up, walked out, and slammed the door as hard as I could behind me. I leaned against the wall and slid down until I hit the floor.

"I see why Preston complains about Tensoh practice now," I told the air.

"Rei," Len said as he got on his knees beside me, "are you okay?"

"You came out here for a reason," I said in a monotone voice. "What was it?"

"Oh, we're ready anytime you are," he smiled. "We're sorry about getting off track."

"Okay," I said as I stood up, "let's get singing."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you look amazing today," Len smiled.

"Let's get to work," I said flatly.

"You got it," he laughed.

I didn't think I look "amazing" in my yellow button down shirt with sleeves folded to my elbows, my dark Daisy Dukes, and my yellow flip flops. My hair from the party the day before fell into waves, and the only thing in the make-up department I wore was the midnight blue eyeliner I wear everyday.

The Tensoh boys were already singing when I walked in. I barely had to help them with it, so I only played the music on the piano so they could have their cues. The remaining thirty minutes were a breeze. It went so smoothly…except for Len flirting while he sang. After a few times of singing and giving them little bits of help, the loud speaker came on.

"Dinner is ready, everyone," Mr. Crypton announced. "The work day is over."

"Thank you," I silently prayed.

Dinner is when all the songwriters lighten up. We don't have to deal with stressful singers and spend time with our friends. It's definitely a lot more fun.

I couldn't tell you what was for dinner because Len and I had plans to go to the gazebo after dinner. We sped through the meal. Len inhaled it like a vacuum, and I barely ate anything. We were walking out the door when Mr. Crypton called us to his office. I felt like I was back in school.

"Len, is it true you were basically living with Rei?" Our boss asked.

"Yes, sir"

"Rei, where is he staying exactly?"

"The guest room, sir."

"Why did you let him stay?" he curiously asked.

"I didn't see a problem as long as he didn't try anything," I explained.

"Good. Rei, you'll be staying in the guest room on the second floor for a while."

"Why?"

"Your things are already in there."

"Where is the guest room exactly?" I asked.

"Its right beside Len's room," Mr. Crypton smirked, throwing me the key.

"Is that the one that has a door that connects my room to it?" Len asked.

"That's the room," he smiled. "You two are dismissed."

We went down a flight of stairs to the second floor. Len walked up to my door, and I handed him the key. He unlocked the door that led to a room with a dark orange carpet and pale yellow walls accented with white furniture. Len left my room and walked into his. How do I know? He knocked on the door that connects our rooms. I unlocked it, and he opened it.

"Can I guess this used to be Rin's room?" I asked.

"Yeah," Len laughed, "Mr. Crypton made her go to the room on the other side of mine a couple of years ago. There's no connecting door, so she now claims that room."

"That makes sense."

"Yeah, it does," he smiled. "Ready to go to the gazebo?"

"Let's go," I grinned.

Len went back into his room, grabbed something, and dragged me down the hall by Mr. Crypton and his mischievous smile. When we reached the garden, we saw someone looking at my little orange and yellow abode. We walked over to the man with a large gut and a shaved head.

"Hey, what's going on here?" Len asked.

"Are you two the two who live here?" the man asked.

"Why?" Len asked.

"Your boss asked me to remodel all of the little houses," the man explained. "He told to choose the house I wanted to do first. I chose this one because it was smaller than all the others."

"I never noticed that about my own house!" I exclaimed.

"I was shocked when he told two people were living here," the man went on. "I'm now even more surprised to find out it's a young couple. Didn't your boss tell you about this project?"

"No, he didn't," Len said.

"Well, now you know!" the man smiled.

"I'm guessing he even gave you what type of place he wanted you to build," Len laughed.

"Not really. All he said was for it not have a deck,"

"It's good to know one thing won't change," I stated.

"It's weird to think the Vocaloid known as a shota is living with his girlfriend," the man laughed.

I dragged Len to gazebo. I thought he was going to kill the guy for mentioning Len's shota reputation. I really don't like hearing anything with "Len" and "shota" in same sentence unless it says he's not, but I don't try to attack people for saying it.

I made Len sit down when we reached our destination. I leaned against the wall and put me feet up on the bench. My feet were right beside Len's leg. I had pulled my knees close enough to me so I could set my notebook on my lap and still write my new song, "Floating Love, Moon Flower". Len smiled at me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"An anime sunset," he smiled.

"What do you mean?"

"The sun is setting behind you," he smiled.

Within seconds, Len was holding himself over me. My notebook and pencil were on the floor, and my arms were wrapped around him, crossing behind his neck. The anime sunset had overpowered us.

Meanwhile, Luka was looking for us. She called and called for us, but we never heard her. We didn't even notice her until she was right in front of the gazebo.

"Len Kagamine!" she yelled.

Len fell to floor startled. "Hey, Luka," he laughed embarrassedly.

"What happened?" she asked.

"I couldn't tell you," I laughed as my feet hit the gazebo floor. "One minute, I'm writing a song and listening to Len, the next…"

"You two were making out," she finished.

"Something like that," I sighed.

"If the others find out, you never hear the end of it," she stated as she pulled out her phone.

"Then don't tell them," Len replied.

"They already know," she said flatly. "I just a text from them. Rei, you may want to check your phone."

"Alright," I sighed.

Len sat beside me as I slid my phone up. The screen showed one new message from Rin. I looked at Len, and he nodded. It was a multimedia message with a picture of what they saw from their window, Len and me. I decided to send a reply.

To: The Spy

From: The girl you're really going to hate

You really need to stop watching us and go back to the tapes you hide in your closet.

To: the dead girl

From: the spy

Go back to making out with your shota

To: You

From: Me

I plan on it. ;D

Len was dying from laughter as he quoted us to Luka. She almost fell in the floor. I stood up and walked to the manor. Len and Luka ran to catch up to me, still chuckling as they ran.

"So, are we going to see them?" Len asked.

"Yep, they are probably in our rooms waiting for us," I sighed.

"Let's get this over with."

I was right. I opened the door to see Kaito, Miku, Gumi, August, Rin, and a mad Gakupo.

"They're in here, Len," I yelled.

He came through the connecting doorway with a face that would make fangirls scream.

"Len's one step closer to being a man," Kaito yelled.

"Screw you!" Len replied coolly.

"Anime sunset got you!" August laughed.

"Rei, how do you know about what's in my closet?" Rin teased.

"I have ESP," I sarcastically stated.

"Could you tell me what happened?" Gakupo fatherly asked.

"We couldn't tell you," I said.

"We could!" Miku smiled.

"Of course, you could," I coldly spat.

"Len was looking at Rei, and Rei was writing a song," Miku began. "Rei noticed and asked him why he was staring. He says something. Somehow, in the next few seconds, Len is holding himself over Rei after he threw her stuff in the floor, Rei has her arms crossed behind his neck, and they're making out."

"And you know that how?" Gakupo asked.

"We saw them from Rin's window," Miku said.

"And how did you see them in the first place?" Kaito asked.

"Well, Miku and I were just hanging out," Rin explained, "and I happened to walk by the window and notice them at the gazebo. I said something to Miku about Len's goofy face, and next thing we know, their making out."

"You shouldn't have been able to Len's face, Rin," Luka stated.

"Okay, so maybe I was spying, but I'm just glad to see my brother is happy,"

"Well, it's been fun, but you need to go," I said.

No one left except Luka and August.

"Now!" I yelled.

The others bolted out the door, and I locked it behind them. I looked to Len who was looking angrily at the ground as he leaned on the doorway.

"The floor didn't do anything to you," I laughed.

"How can they do that to us?" Len asked.

"Give me a second," I said as I kicked the door where eavesdroppers were listening in.

"Ow!" they yelled.

"Okay, we're good."

"Reika, we're never alone," he stated.

"I know," I sighed, "but we basically gave away all privacy rights when we heard about Miku and still joined."

"So true," he laughed. "Well, I'm going to take a bath."

One good thing about living in that room was it had its own bathroom. So while Len took his sweet time in his bathroom, I went to shower in mine. I was out before him, and that was even after I brushed and dried my hair and put on a yellow tank top and orange board shorts. I sat down on my bed after I pulled my orange laptop out of the bag I bought for it with Fleur-de-lis of every Vocaloid color.

I logged onto Facebook. I had six friend requests when I got on, Gumi, August, Miku, Rin, Toshiaki, and Len. I approved them all then went to settings and changed my relationship status. Then, I changed my profile picture to a picture from my birthday party. It was a picture of Len serenading me, and I'm just smiling as we face each other. Len had already changed it to his profile picture. Facebook felt foreign to me after not being on for a few weeks.

I almost fell off the bed as Len plopped down beside me in his black sports shorts and a grey wife beater. He laughed.

"Did I scare you, Rei?"

"What the French toast, Len?"

"French toast?" he asked.

"I don't like to use profanities."

"Nice," he smiled.

"So, who is this Len Kagamine guy your Facebook says you're dating?" he teased as he looked at his Blackberry.

"He is just this awesome guy I work with. I sort of fell for him," I laughed.

"Are you happy with him?"

"How could I not be?" I smiled.

"Explain." He said professor-like.

"Well, he's sweet, fun, smart, and really romantic. He's the total package."

"Is that all?" he asked.

"Well, there's more, but it would take years to say it all."

Len smiled. "Reika Fujihara, I love you."

"I love you too, Len Kagamine."

A repeat of the gazebo incident occurred. Only this time, there was no Luka, Rin, or Miku, and Kaito and Gakupo wouldn't be interrogating us this time. Unfortunately though, after a minute or two, my phone started ringing.

"Dang it," he said as he rolled onto his back, letting me go to my desk.

I grabbed my phone and answered Arisu's call.

"Rei here," I said.

"Put the phone on speaker," she said angrily. I did as she said.

"What is with this picture Rin sent me just now?" she asked.

"It's Rin's death wish," I said angrily.

"Len is in the room with you. I know it."

"Yes, I am," he said calmly.

"You better not try anything, Kagamine. I'll kill you if you do."

"Bye, Ari," I said.

"Don't you…" she said as I hung up.

"I'm going to kill her," Len said.

"You kill one. I'll get the other."

We heard a door open. Len plopped back down on the bed and pretended to sleep. Someone knocked on my door. I opened it to see Rin.

"What do you want, Rin?" I asked.

"To tell you I'm sorry," Rin mumbled sadly. "I shouldn't have been watching you guys. I really am sorry." She sounded like she was about to cry.

"Rin, don't cry."

"I called Len's phone to tell you guys I was coming, but it was off."

"It's okay," I smiled.

"I promise I'll give you more privacy. I'm so sorry, Rei."

She looked at her brother.

"I know you're awake, Len," she stated.

"Hi, Rin," he smiled.

"I won't tell anyone about your gazebo repeat," she smiled.

"How'd you know?" Len asked.

"You just told me," she smirked.

"Not cool, Rin," Len yelled.

"I still won't let anyone know," she smiled as she left.

Len smirked as he picked me up bridal style. "Now, where were we?"
