A Vocaloid Carol {Chapter 4: Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come}
Super late update, but at least I'm done with the story now! Review replies:
Honeycloud of RiverClan: Yep. But I have the update now!
Kodamnation: I've always wondered why nobody else thought of writing one so I was like, "What the heck! I'll write one!"
JACF (Guest): That's right. I feel terrible, but it is the way I made it.
mitchkat1: Yes, yes she does.
Lolly1o1: Apparently…
Disclaimer: One day… then I'll rule the world!
Since Gumi and Oliver weren't dreams or part of my imagination, I just decided to stay up until the last ghost came here.
As if on cue, a ghost appeared in front of me wearing a long cloak with a hood on, concealing its face. I could see red eyes looking at me from inside the hood, and they were freaky. On its right hand was a stick with a small ball on top of it glowing with a black substance floating in it. I'm pretty sure I was standing in front of Death.
"Listen, I know I've been bad, but I'm not ready to die yet! I have my whole life ahead of me!" As I stepped back in fear, its fingers went towards its hood and it pulled it back.
I could now see that 'it' was actually a 'she'. She had two black pigtails on the back of her head, making her look like Miku a lot…
"My name's Zatsune Miku. You may call me Zatsune. Are you ready?" She took her hand out and I took it. She waved her stick a little and black sparkles appeared.
We were in a room filled with albums and trophies everywhere. There was a light blue couch in the middle of the room with a little table besides it and a small lamp on it with a couple papers and a pen. A man around his twenties was on the chair with his hand through his hair, looking frustrated. Is that me?
Future me, I guess, reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden phone. He started calling somebody, and then Zatsune waved her stick again. A portal showed up showing Miku and Kaito having fun in some sort of party. When Kaito's phone rang, he picked it up without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello, Kaito Shion speaking. Who is this?"
"Hey Kaito. It's me, Len."
"Len?!" At the mention of my name, everyone froze.
"What do you want, Len? You can't call me like this anymore. I quit the band, remember?"
"Yes, I remember, I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas."
Kaito looked pretty shocked, "My, my. Never thought I'd hear those words out of you, Len."
While they kept talking about something I thought I would never say, Miku glanced up at the clock. She got up and told everybody it was time and got her coat out. She put it on and told Kaito the same thing.
"I'm sorry, Len, but I have to go. Me and my wife have business to attend to." He hung up and left with Miku and the others.
The portal closed and I glanced back at Future Len. He seemed sad and lonely. I looked at Zatsune and asked, "Why am I alone?"
"After a few years, you turned colder and crueler. That's when your band members decided to quit. You stayed here all alone since then."
Alone? Everyone quit? "Where's Rin? She never leaves my side, and she's always there for me. I know she never left me. Where. Is. She."
Zatsune waved her stick again and now we were in a cemetery. Why are we here? I glanced at Zatsune, but she kept an expressionless face. I looked back and saw everyone around one grave. They all put yellow roses on the grave and mourned. Miku was crying all over Kaito's shirt while everybody else had their heads down.
"It's not fair!" Miku kept on crying, "It's not fair! Why did she have to die like that, Kaito? Why?! She deserved to die happily and with a smile. But no! She died because of him. And what did he do? NOTHING!" Now Miku was just punching Kaito's chest. Kaito didn't seem to mind as he kept trying to comfort her.
After a couple minutes of sadness, they all sang a lullaby I knew all to well. Last Night, Good Night. When the song ended, Miku said, "Oyasumi. May you rest in peace." And with that, everybody left.
Zatsune nodded towards the grave, telling me to take a look at it. I slowly walked towards it, fearing who's grave it is. When I got there, I slowly read the words "R.I.P. Rin Kagamine. Born: December 27, -. Died: December 25, -." {A.N./ I don't know, make up your own years.}
I fell down on my knees and my palms settled on the snow. No! It can't be true! Rin can't be- I looked back towards Zatsune and found her gone.
"It's all your fault." I jumped back when I heard her next to me, "She was very sick, but she kept it hidden so you wouldn't worry. Since you didn't know, you worked her for long hours. One day, she was cleaning up your house when she coughed uncontrollably. You couldn't hear her since she was vacuuming and you were watching TV in the same room. When she started coughing out blood, she fell on the ground and stayed there for a few minutes before dieing. When you didn't hear her moving a couple hours later, you glanced back at her with eyes full of disgust. You called Miku and told her she was dead. She came over to your house a few minutes later and punched you. Heck, if Kaito hadn't been there, you would've died."
"It's your choice now, Len. If you wish to live this future, then keep doing what you're doing. Sayonara, and may you make the right choice." She dissolved into nothing and disappeared.
"Zatsune?" I called for her but she didn't come back.
"Zatsune!" I was still on my knees, and I glanced back towards Rin's grave. All the good times we had as kids came flooding into my mind. Rin didn't deserve to die that way. No, she deserves to die happily and with a smile.
"Zatsune, I'll change! I promise! I'll change my ways!"
"I promise!"
I opened my eyes to see that I was back in my room. I quickly got up and checked the calendar. Christmas day. I looked at my clock and saw it was 5:15. I quickly took a shower and changed into a red shirt with white Christmas designs here and there, red shorts with a green stripe below them, red converse and a red Santa hat. I quickly ran outside my room to see Rin cleaning up. She started coughing, but when she saw me, she tried to hide it. Bad Rin.
"Good morning, Len. Breakfast is ready in the kitchen." I walked up to her and hugged her.
"Rin, you're stupid. Go home and enjoy your Christmas. Also, get some rest. Sleep is the best medicine if you want to get better."
Her eyes widened and she said, "Len, how did-"
"Let's just say a little birdie told me. Now go home!"
"But, Len, who's going to-" I cut her off by giving her kiss on the lips.
We stood there for a while before I broke it, "Please Rin. I would be really relieved If I knew you were resting at home. Now go home!"
Still a little dazed, she slowly walked to get her winter coat and slowly left the penthouse.
After taking a limo, I made it to the studio were it was 5:52. I settled myself down and waited for the other guys to get here. After watching TV, I glanced at the clock and saw it was 6:01. They're one minute late…
Kaito burst through the door followed by everyone else. I stood there with my arms crossed over my chest and my foot tapping, trying to look angered and inpatient. As everyone gave me their excuses for being late, I noticed how funny this was and began to laugh.
"Len," Gakupo began, "are you okay? You're… laughing…"
"Yes, yes I am. You guys are all stupid! Now, I want you all to go home!"
"WHAT?!"
"You all heard me! Sayonara!"
Before they could say anything else, I pushed them through the door. I went towards the limo waiting for me outside and told the driver to drive me towards a certain address. When we got there, I got out and walked towards the front door.
I glanced towards the window and saw everyone having a lot of fun. Smiling, I knocked on the door, causing the party to stop. A girl with short blonde hair and a red bow opened the door.
"Len," she said, "what are you doing here?"
"I really want to spend time with you Rin. If you let me, I'd like to join you. I want to make up for all those years I treated you like a servant. I hope you can ever forgive me for being so cruel, but if you can't, I understand."
"Len, of course I forgive you! You're a good friend. And please, do come in." She lead me inside towards the living room with a smile. When I stepped foot inside the living room, Rinto immediately looked at me with fury.
"Rin," he said, "what's he doing here?!"
"He's here to celebrate with us, Rinto. Don't be cruel." Rin signaled me to come in and I did. Instantly, her parents accepted me, but Rinto still had a look that said "Hurt Rin and I'll kill you".
After a while, it was time to open gifts. Rin received a countless number of gifts, and she even gave some of them to me.
After a while, we ended up sitting down sipping hot chocolate. It was a perfect night, and I was happy knowing Rin will never leave my side. That was all I needed.
"Hey look!" Rin's mom said, "Rin and Len are sitting under the mistletoe!"
We both looked up to see the green thing on the ceiling. Rin's face was completely red as I had a smirk on my lips. I closed my eyes and leaned forward, feeling Rin's soft lips on mine.
Life is bliss.
So, that's over with now! Again, I'm sorry for the late update, but I do have my reasons! So, bye.
