Chapter 8

"Hey, what is this?" -(Honest Feelings- Kagamine Len)

"What did you need to ask me?" Aoki said. "Do you like Len?" Gumi asked.

"Well, He's really nice and funny. He's always there to listen to me." Aoki said smiling. "I mean 'like' as in 'love'" Gumi said. "I don't know what that is." Aoki said. "Like more than friend.. like... someone special you can't stop thinking about.. who's probably good looking to you" Gumi said.

"Well... He is pretty cute..." Aoki said turning a bit red. "You do like him" Gumi insisted. "I do?!" Aoki said blushing alot. "Your facial expression tells me it." Gumi said crossing her arms. "Is that bad?!..." Aoki said feeling her cheeks. "As long as it doesn't cause a problem to him." Gumi said. "But... it feels weird.. to think of telling him." Aoki said looking down.

"You don't have to say anything. It could make things awkward between you two if he doesn't accept your feelings." Gumi responded. "So.. I act like nothing?" Aoki asked. "Well, it's all up to you. You haven't been in love before?" Gumi asked.

"No." Aoki rubbed her hands together for warmness. "How old are you?" Gumi asked. "I don't know. my best guess is 14."

"How come you act like you don't know all these things?" Gumi asked. "I don't act. I only remember waking up a couple of days ago at home where Len told me that I had fainted outside on the floor. I only remember my name but nothing else makes sense. I don't remember having a home or living anywhere else. I simply know random things.. Yet I don't know anything."

Gumi thought of it for a while. "It seems you lost your memory. We should look you up on the hospital records." Aoki smiled. "What?" Gumi said. "I don't know what that place looks like either." Aoki covered her smile. "Your so cute. Any guy could like you!" Gumi said petting Aoki. "I don't think any guy would like me.." Aoki giggled. "See? your always giggling.. it's so cute!" Gumi said.

Len walked outside and overheard that two people were speaking. He got a bit closer to hear who it was. "It seems you lost your memory. We should look you up on the hospital records." Len froze in thought. 'Aoki doesn't remember anything? nothing?..' He thought. He walked back into the salon in thought. 'then what things does she remember..?' He asked himself.

"Len!~ I've been looking for you!" Rin said pulling Len by arm. "What happened?" Len said frightened. "Rinto and Lenka came to visit!" Rin smiled. "All the way from Korea?" Len asked. "Yup! They traveled from Korea to Japan. Isn't it awesome!" Rin ran and hugged Lenka.

"I missed you guys!~" Rin said nearly crying. "No way!~ Bro.. Sis.. you guys really left school to come here?" Len asked Rinto and Lenka. "We have a field trip near here so we thought we could pay you guys a visit." Rinto said. "Today is such a mix of everything... and it's mostly happy things." Len said with his eyes becoming teary. "Don't cry Len-kun!~" Rin said hugging Len. "I'm not crying.. I'm just happy!" Len smiled.

"it's cold out here. Let's go in." Gumi said. "Oh, okay." Aoki shivered.

"Aoki-chan!~" Rin yelled as Gumi and Aoki entered the salon. "What happened?" Aoki got closer to Rin. "This is my bro and sis, Rinto-kun and Lenka-san. Bro, Sis, She's a new vocaloid. Her name is Aoki Lapis." Rin smiled. "pleasure to meet you" Rinto and Lenka said. "Aoki gets very well along with Len." Rin said. Len suddenly felt a bit nervous. Aoki looked at Len and giggled.

"Hey Len, I want to ask you something if that's okay." Rinto said petting Len's head. "Okay." Len smiled.
Rinto grabbed Len's arm and pulled him out of the crowd. "Do you like Aoki?" Rinto asked. "Rin just asked me that this morning.. I really don't know." Len looked down.

"Bro, If you decide you do, Chase after her and don't let her go. She seems to like you anyway. If you decide too late, you may not be the one to be with her at the end." Rinto said. "But.. She likes Kaito." Len said with sadness. "Who said so?" Rinto asked. "Rin told me that she said so herself." Len said.

"People aren't always honest with themselves little bro. That's all I'm going to say." Rinto said with a smile. Len looked up and saw Rinto walk back into the crowd. Len looked around him and saw Bruno laughing with Clara. 'I guess..' He thought. He walked back to the crowd with a big smile.

"Let's get this party started!" Meiko said bringing 2 bottles of sake on each of her hands. "Calm down Meiko.." Kaito said pushing Meiko back. "What, You don't like to drink?" Meiko said drunk. "I.. that doesn't matter!" Kaito said. "I.. want to try some."Rin said.

Everyone stared at Rin in confusion. "Here you go." Meiko said handing Rin a bottle of Sake. "Rin.. what are you doing?" Len said. "I'm 15. I want to see what all the fuss is about." Rin said opening the bottle. Kaito looked at Rin wide-eyed as she sipped some of it. "not bad.." Rin said looking inside the bottle.

"Now the other twin!" Meiko yelled. "NOO!" Len said backing off. "Awwe!~ Why not?~" Meiko said drinking some. "Nu-uh." Len moved back even more. "I'll have your little girlfriend try it first then." She said pointing at Aoki. "We're not going out!" Len and Aoki both blushed.

Miku came running late and jumped into the crowd in a way so they wouldn't notice. She saw both Len and Aoki blushing as they denied being more than friends. 'Got to do something... ' Miku thought. "I'll drink!~" Miku yelled. Everyone looked back and saw Miku raising a Leek so everyone would see her. "Miku?.." Gumi asked.

"Here, take this one." Meiko said handing Miku a half-empty bottle of Sake. Before you knew it, nearly everyone was drunk by Meiko's Sake except a few. "Aoki, Let's go." Gumi said pulling Aoki by the arm. "Okay." she said looking at everyone. "Len, Piko, come with us since neither of you is drunk." Gumi said.

They all hoped onto Gumi's car and went home quietly.
once they got home, Len and Piko both went in first and Aoki followed Gumi. "Aoki, come to my room." Gumi said walking upstairs. "This is my room." Gumi said pointing to a room right next to Aoki's. "It's right next to mine!~" Aoki smiled. "Come anytime you want. It's your room too." Gumi said.

"Well, I'm sleepy.~" Aoki said walking back to her room. "Okay, Oyasumi!~" Gumi said waving goodbye. "Oyasumi~!" Aoki said walking into her own room. 'So much for one day..' Aoki thought.

Aoki played on her bed and looked at the blanket. 'Maybe.. I'll cover myself.' Aoki thought taking the blanket and covering herself.
