Rin arrived at one of the brick and stone buildings - she called them houses - that was inside a cluster of other houses - that was called a neighborhood. Len felt like he should have known these things. The girl opened the door and shoved the boy inside before going over the threshold herself and closing it. She dumped her white-with-gold-embellishments messenger bag on the hardwood floor and kicked her shoes into a pile of others similar to them.

"Mommm! I'mma homeeeeee!" Rin yelled down the hallway to the left. The smells of something delicious wafted out from what Len somehow knew to be a kitchen at the end.

"Okay! Do your homework! Don't just daydream, okay honey? You're free until six!" called back a motherly voice. Rin yelled back an assent before running off down a stairway to the right leading down, Len in tow.

He had no idea what was happening.

Oh well. Rin wasn't letting him go.

"Okay, Mister Kagamine Len," Rin said firmly, planting him in the center of her strangely clean room. He would look around later; for now he didn't want to move his eyes from the soft but steady glare on her face. "What the heck happened down in Lab 27?"

Len gave no response. Rin shook his shoulders, glare hardening by a fraction of a percent. "Hey! Talk to me! You haven't said a single word yet!"

Len decided to shut her up by speaking. His voice was two octaves higher than he expected it to be, just an octave lower than the teenage girl's. "S-sorry... Rin? I- I don't really understand..."

Rin shut up, true to his predictions. She frowned as she looked over his face, which was written over in confusion. Then her eyes teared up at the edges, but she said nothing. She shook her head, then gripped him by the shoulders and planted him in front of a full-length mirror against a wall. When she spoke, she sounded angry, scared and on the verge of tears all at once.

"Do you recognize yourself? Please, please tell me you recognize yourself!"

Len looked over the boy in mirror before him. He had hair the same color as Rin's, sticking out in any way it could, including a random tuft in the back that stuck nearly straight up. The headphones covered his ears, but he could still hear perfectly. He was wearing what looked like a modified sailor's shirt, white with a black collar, and t-shirt sleeves. He wore black shorts with a gold chain thing on one side, which went to his knees before being overtaken by black leg warmers and white sneakers. Arm warmers/bracers adorned his forearms, black with gold lining, and his eyes and facial features were nearly the same as Rin's. But...

"I don't..."

Rin choked on a sob before tearing out of the room, slamming the door. Len decided to let her clam down from whatever was bothering her (ah, oblivious boys...) as he looked around. The room was rectangular, with white walls on the short sides and black paint on the long ones. They were all adorned with shelves and pictures, some framed and some tacked down onto corkboards. The shelves were painted white or yellow contrasting the wall, and were filled with girly trinkets like old lip gloss containers, tooth fairy tooth holders, notes written and never passed, music boxes, and an iPod Shuffle or two plus earbuds. There was a bed next to the mirror, twin size, with white painted wood and two mattresses and four blankets in black, gold, white, and more gold. A nightstand was next to it, with an unshaded lamp that was just a bare bulb on a stick. The drawers of the dresser next to the closet on the same wall as the door had their contents peeking out, the leg of a pair of jeans, straps to undershirts of various colors, and a couple stubbornly long paintbrushes and electrical cords from the bottom three drawers. The closet was closed, and the rest of the room was bare except a threadbare white rug in the center with gold designs that reflected the light from the bulbs overhead. It was nice.

Len sat down on the bed, feeling the soft comforters beneath his hands. He removed his boots and arm bracers before lying down on it. It reminded him of how he'd woke up and been introduced to the world, and eventually he fell asleep on them.


Rin returned from crying ready to yell at Len or explain to him, whichever tore out of her throat first. However, when she opened the door to her gold and monochrome room she found him asleep on the left side of the bed, clutching the golden blanket with both hands, rolled onto his side away from her. She sighed and decided to let him rest - if the kid had lost his memory, he'd need it to mull over things. She mentally slapped herself a little for not picking up on it sooner - she'd given him too much to think about.

She, too, removed extra accessories - a couple golden bracelets and the black jacket - before climbing into bed on the right side, underneath the covers, just to separate their bodies. She fell asleep soon after as well, ready for Saturday to come so se could figure out this weird mess that was her brother, Kagamine Len.

Or was it really her brother...?

TAHDUM! YEAH! I forgot to do ANs last chapter but who frikking cares? Review if you like it... I could use some motivation... *Ahem* This won't all be about Len, but the first three chapters are mostly. Then we split off into the seven or so POVs of the other nine. But why are these ten people so special? Why is there people out to get them? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO LEN? Not that anybody cares.

Anyways, see you next time! ~Kara

Today's completely random anime/Vocaloid fact is about Angel Beats!: Kanade means "to play" or "to play a song" and Otonashi means "on a string," and collectively their names mean "to play on a string." It is unknown if this was intentional. NEXT FACT: About Vocaloid!
