Chapter 2:

~Len~

Once I was back at home I locked myself in my room, finally having an idea for my song…I even had a vague idea of how the tune was going to sound. I was about to begin writing the lyrics before I heard knocking on my door. Could it be Rin…? No…she was gone at the 'Hatsune Miku' concert.
"Who is it? I'm busy…" I grumbled, not wanting to be bothered when I finally had an idea of what I was going to write.

"It's really nothing big, I just wanted to talk to you about something, Len," I heard Kaito say from the other side of the door, the tone of his voice sounding a tad worried…
I sighed, muttering a few curses under my breath as I opened the door for my blue-haired relative, "What is it, Kaito…?"

"Len…is there something going on between you and Rin? I heard you both fighting yesterday…"
I shook my head, "We just disagreed on something, that's all...it's nothing important, so…can you leave now?" I urged, "I finally had an idea for my song and now I'm gonna forget it."

"I will, but…make up with her, okay? I know it's stressful being a singer, but you both should try staying on good terms," He smiled, leaving my room and almost closing the door before I stopped him.
"Wait…what does that have to do with anything! I'm not stressed over anything, she was being an idiot and all I did was yell at her! You're acting like it's all MY fault!" I was offended…he was blaming our fight on me.
"Len…I'm not saying it's your fault-"

I slammed the door in his face before he could finish, locking the door once again and throwing myself on the bed furiously…no one in this freaking house understood what I was going through…not even my own twin sister, the person who knew everything about me…the one who'd always hear me out. We were too different now, we both ventured on two different paths in life.

~Rin~

It was finally time for the concert to start, me and Gumi gaping in awe as the bright multicolored lights lit the stage, focusing on the one and only…Hatsune Miku. She was a petite girl, and her turquoise hair was styled into two pigtails which extended down to her knees. Her outfit reminded me of a school girl uniform, except with a unique twist, consisting of a sleeveless grey top with a turquoise tie, a black skirt, and matching boots which rose to her thighs.

My eyes lit up as she began to sing her opening song, 'Melt', "I wake up in the morning and immediately I start to think of you…"

Miku was just as talented at singing live, much to my delight, and I couldn't help but to hum along softly while she sang.

"I decided to cut my bangs, just to hear you say, 'What happened?'"

I saw Mikuo smile at me so I immediately stopped humming, my cheeks burning red as I tried focusing all my attention on Miku and the concert. He had a girlfriend…there was no way he was interested in me.

"Pink skirt, and a flower barrette, and it's time to go. I'm looking super cute today!"

Everything about the concert seemed unreal to me, the flashing lights and just the thought that the actual Hatsune Miku was standing a couple of feet away from me. It was amazing, it felt different than all of Len's concerts I've been to.
"Melt - I'm about to melt I can't tell you that I like you... but...Melt - I can't let our eyes meet I'm not into love and all that but I do... like you."
 The concert continued. Miku sang some of her most famous songs and I found myself mesmerized through the entire thing…and when it was over, I felt slightly saddened…but still, I had a great time.
"Wasn't that so great, Rin?" Gumi grinned delightfully, "Let's see if we can get her autograph…can you call Kaito and let him know that we might be here longer?"

"Sure! One sec-" I was just about to take out my cellphone before I noticed Mikuo was still sitting beside me. Did he have something to say?

"Well, if you girls don't mind waiting a bit, I can introduce you to Miku once everyone clears out." He smiled, "I'm sure she won't mind, and you can get her autograph then! You don't even have to worry about the line."

Gumi and I both stared at him wide-eyed, before we squealed in excitement, "WOW! Are you serious? You can do that?" Gumi asked the teal-haired teen, "That'd be SO great!"

Mikuo nodded, "Yeah, no problem! You should probably still call though, since it might be a while…"
I quickly dialed Kaito's number into my cell, asking him if it was alright if we stayed a bit longer, and we'd call him once we were finished. After I hung up a huge smile grew on my face, "He says its okay! Thanks, Mikuo! I should introduce you to Len another time, I'm not sure if he's busy though." I said mindlessly…momentarily forgetting that Len didn't want anything to do with Miku. Well…I could worry about that later, I should be excited…I was actually going to meet Hatsune Miku! The concert was satisfying enough, but…this was even better!

"So, how did you both enjoy the concert? My sister's great isn't she?" Mikuo asked, before Gumi's jaws dropped…I had forgotten to tell her that he was Miku's brother…whoops.
"Whoa…are you serious? I should have known, you look JUST like her!" She said in amazement, almost repeating the same exact words as I did.
The three of us chatted for what seemed like forever, the entire concert hall finally emptying out, Mikuo making sure to inform the people that we were friends of his and we were just going to meet Miku backstage.
It seemed like Miku had just gotten out of the dressing room for she was no longer in her concert attire, wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans instead. Her face lit up with a smile when she saw Mikuo, running over to her brother and wrapping her arms around him in a hug, "I haven't seen you in forever, Mikuo! I'm glad you could make it to the concert!" When she pulled away she looked me and Gumi curiously, "I saw you both sitting next to my brother, you must be his friends, right?"
Mikuo answered before I could even say a word, "Well, I met them today… they're fans of yours and they wanted an autograph…" He grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of his head before introducing us, "This is Rin…she's actually the sister of Len Kagamine…and this is her friend, Gumi."
"Wow! That's so cool! Well, let me get a pen and we can talk, be right back!" Miku grinned, running off, her pigtails following behind her as she left, leaving the three of us alone once again. She seemed awfully…energetic.
The turquoise haired girl was back in no time, signing her name on a sheet of paper for the both of us, "It's so cool that you're the sister of Len…I knew he lived around here, but wow…" She smiled, handing one to each of us once she was finished, "There you go!"

I couldn't believe it…I was actually talking to Hatsune Miku…this was even better than getting her autograph! She seemed really nice too, "Yeah! I'm not sure what Len's up to right now, I wanted him to come…but he was busy with something earlier."
"I'd love to meet him one day, he's very talented!" Miku replied, "I'll be staying here with my family for a few weeks, so maybe sometime then!"

I strained a smile…I shouldn't have mentioned Len in the first place…he'd kill me if I just came home and suddenly said, 'Oh…hey, Hatsune Miku wants to meet you.'
"Yeah…that sounds like it would be fun." I answered, laughing nervously…

~Len~

"Wake up at 4 am, I hear your ringtone on my cellphone. Pick up and hear you say, 'So where'd you run off, and with who?' I make excuses just as readily as I know you do, It's just the one-night stand that I look forward to."

I tried singing the first part of the song to myself to see how well it flowed, and I was relieved when it sounded perfect. As I continued to write I started to feel slightly lonely…I'd usually hang out with some girls in my free time, but today I had to force myself to stay inside the house and try to get something done. Still, I wished I had someone to keep my company…and Rin probably would still be angry at me by the time she was back at home.

I felt my throat get itchy as I burst into a sudden coughing fit…fuck, was I getting sick? I couldn't afford to get sick now...my eyes watered as I finally stopped, I would have to ask for some medicine later, just in case…and hopefully it wouldn't develop into something worse.

I finished up the last lines of the song, spending a half an hour editing it and

fixing some spelling...before hearing the sound of the garage opening. Could Kaito have picked up Rin already…? I wasn't keeping track of the time.

As much as I wanted to apologize to her, I didn't leave my room…she'd have to come to me first. I still didn't think I did anything wrong…but I wanted someone to talk to.

After several minutes I heard knocking on my door, "Hey, Len…can I come in?" I heard my twin say quietly from the other side, "Sorry if you're busy…I didn't mean to interrupt if you're working on your song."

"No…it's okay, you can come in. I actually already finished…" I watched her open the door, my intuition immediately telling me that there was something bothering her.
I took the opportunity to apologize, "Yeah…I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier, Rin…how did the concert go?" I asked her, just to be nice…I could care less about the Hatsune concert. A bright smile grew on her face, "Yeah…it went well! I'll tell everyone about it at dinner, Meiko already finished cooking…come on!"

~Rin~

Once we were settled at the dinner table I wasn't sure where to begin…so much had happened! "Well, our seats happened to be right next to Miku's brother, Mikuo…he was really nice! So…after the concert he actually let us meet Miku, and I got her autograph!" I took a bite out of my chicken, chewing and swallowing before continuing, "It was really awesome…and well, she asked…" I debated on whether I should say it or not…I could almost guarantee Len was going to get angry, "If we could hang out with her and her brother this Thursday, she wanted to meet Len."

I saw Len's eyes flash as he jumped up from his seat, "What! From what I heard it sounds like you're just using me so you can be friends with a celebrity, am I right? Well, if that's the case…I'm not fucking going. I can't believe you had the NERVE to ask-"

Len was interrupted by Meiko, "Len, sit down. I don't think that was your sister's intention…and I don't see what's so bad about going either, maybe it'll go well."

I cringed…this wasn't going well…I should have just kept my big mouth shut. "Len...that's not what I meant. And what did you expect me to say? My brother doesn't want to meet you?" I retorted, "NO. I'm actually nice, unlike you."

Before Kaito and Meiko could try to stop the dispute, Len continued to yell, "Yeah, but you didn't have to go around telling people that you're brother is famous just so you could get special privileges. I'm NOT going…that's final!"
Meiko raised her eyebrows, "Well, as long as I'm here you're going. Last time I checked you weren't the one in charge."
"Yeah, make me. Last time I checked…I was the one earning most of the money in this house." He said rudely…Kaito and me both looking shocked at his nasty remark. I've never seen Len act this…spoiled in my life. It made me realize how much he had changed…he didn't even seem like my brother anymore…
Meiko always won arguments though, and to our surprise the fight ended rather quickly when she threatened to take away his iPhone…Len staring at the table sourly, "Fine…I'll go."
