Impossible Love {Chapter 8: Lie Detector and the Slammer}
I'm so so so so so so so sorry the update took so long, but I have a couple reasons…
1. I went to Mexico for vacation. (I already informed you about that.)
2. I got sick for a WEEK after I came back home. Trust me, I was in no mood to type. I was coughing like crazy (still am) my throat hurt (so I couldn't talk for a couple days), and I had a really bad headache.
3. School was coming up. Had to do the homework I was assigned.
So, I hope you all understand me. I am getting better, but I'm still coughing and my left ear feels really weird….
Well, enough about my problems, let's start the chapter!
But first come the review replies!
DualStarduster: You'll just have to find out later on... I'm not giving spoilers.
xX little kagami Xx: Thank you! :D
Kodamnation: Sí, vacaciono allí. Fue divertido, pero la cantidad de soldados me asustó...
Hazelholly: Great! And I did have fun!
BlazingFlame26: I won't, I promise! :)
Runa Mikari (Guest): I'm sorry it took so long, but here it is!
Now, on to the chapter!
Disclaimer: I (don't) own Vocaloid.
"Kagami Rin."
That's my Rin. I-It can't be! She would never steal from anyone. She's nice and caring and -
"Len," Mikuo looked at me with worry, "are you okay? You seem a little surprised…"
"N-No! I'm not surprised! It's not like I knew her or anything!" Okay, I'm not the best liar in the world…
Miku started whispering into Gakupo's ear. After a while of talking, Gakupo had on a 'I understand' look and headed towards the door.
"I'll be right back. I just have to run to the interrogation room. I forgot my wallet…" He closed the door after leaving with an important look on his face.
"Aw," we all turned around to see Mikuo whining, "I bet his wallet had at least thousands of bucks! We could have stolen at least a couple hundred!"
"Mikuo, we don't steal anymore." I raised an eyebrow.
"Miku, what do you mean by 'anymore'?"
"Etto… well, you see… Um…" She kept on stuttering and playing with her hands. When she started nibbling on one of her pigtails, I turned towards Mikuo.
But then I suddenly blacked out.
Len fell doing after looking at me. I looked up to see Gakupo with his hands grasping a frying pan over his left shoulder. I just stood here with a 'What the hell?!' face. Miku ran up to me and said, "It's alright. We're putting Len up on the lie detector. Gakupo said he was going to get his wallet only so Len wouldn't suspect a thing."
"Cool. But do you guys even know how to operate the lie detector?" They both hung their heads down and shook them. I don't know how to operate that thing either, so what to do…
"I have an idea!" Miku had her hand raised, "How about we ask Kai-"
"NO!"
Everyone turned around to look at me. Well, excuse me for being a good over-protective twin/big brother. (That's right. I was born first!)
"Ignoring that outburst, I think it's a good idea. Shion is very smart. Let's go!"
Gakupo closed my mouth with his hand before I could protest, and dragged me through the hall. Miku carried (dragged) Len by pulling his legs and walking backwards.
After a couple minutes, we made it to a dark blue door with a sign saying "Laboratory" with a few ice cream stickers around the sign. Honestly, why can't Kaito be less… Kaito?
Speaking of which, the blue haired ice-cream loving freak opened the door. He was wearing a blue polo shirt, jeans, and a white lab coat, along with blue gloves and goggles on his head. He let us in, and his lab was a complete mess. No wonder his hair was a little black…
"So," Freak started talking, "what brings you here?"
"We need the lie detector. Bring it up to the interrogation room, and we'll be waiting there with an unconscious Len." Gakupo said.
"Unconscious Len? What happened?" Crazy Gakupo's what happened.
"No time to answer, just get the lie detector! We'll see you in the room."
"Yes sir!" He saluted, and then he looked at Miku. Over-protective power overwhelming…
"And, if I could, could we have dinner later on?" Miku started blushing like a tomato.
"Of cour-" She couldn't finish because I tackled Kaito to the ground. If that freak thinks he can just ask my sister out like that, then he's dead wrong!
"Listen, Shion! You are SO not worthy to be dating my sister. So you better step away!" I was about to punch him, but Miku stopped me.
"I'm really sorry, Kaito. I'd love to join you for dinner."
"No, you won't!"
"I'll take care of my brother. How about you pick me up at six?"
"Alright. I'll be waiting!" With that, Miku dragged me away with a quiet Gakupo trailing behind. This must be awkward for him…
After a couple minutes of silence in the interrogation room, Kaito came in with a thing on weels, with a long stick and a screen on top. It also had a hat connected to it with a cable. Let's hope Len's funeral won't come soon…
"You sure this will work?" Gakupo asked, and I could see worry in his voice.
"Very sure. So, who are we questioning?"
"Len."
Miku gave him Len's unconscious body, and he connected it. Now we need to wake him up. I got an idea and ran towards my room. I started looking around and finally found what I was looking for. The biggest, fattest leek I could find. This will be fun…
I ran back only to find Len singing. I raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is he up?"
"No, he just started singing all of a sudden. It's actually a very nice song..."
"Whatever. We need answers, so time to wake him up!" I raised my leek over my left shoulder and got ready for impact.
I was after school, and was desperately looking for Rin. I told her to meet me at the door when the bell rung, but I couldn't find her anywhere. That's when I heard the most beautiful sounds of piano I have ever heard.
Entranced, I followed the sounds. That's when I got to room C-145. I slowly entered and saw a big black piano with a yellow bow I knew all too well peeking out. I ran towards it and gave the player a hug.
"Rin, I was so worried! I didn't know where you went!" Rin hugged me back but broke it a little while later.
"Gomenasai, I guess I was distracted by the piano. It's been my favorite instrument since Mrs. Megurine taught me how to play it. Want to hear me play?" I nodded and sat down beside her. She played for a while before singing:

She stopped. I gave her a confused look, and then she said, "I haven't finished writing the song yet. I can't come up with the rest of the lyrics."
"How did you come up with the lyrics? And what's the name for the song?" Rin looked in deep thought before replying, "Mrs. Megurine helped with the lyrics, and the name is Migikata No Chou or Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder. Whichever you want to call it."
I hummed the tune to myself when I thought of something...
fukyou waon

I must've said that out loud because next thing I know, Rin's writing it down. She looked up at me and said, "I think we have a song! We just have to figure out the rest of the lyrics."
We sat there working on the song. It was a lot of fun working with Rin and playing with her. We were done with the song in three fourths of an hour, and we must have been cheering pretty loud, cause next thing you know, Mrs. Megurine's telling us to get out. We got out of the music room in giggles, and we sang our song the rest of the way home.

I felt something hard smack me and I quickly opened my eyes. My head was connected to some machine and shadows were surrounding me. Am I in jail? I never did anything wrong, I swear!
"Listen, I don't know why I'm here, but I never did anything wrong! I swear! I can't go to jail, I just can't!"
"Relax, you're not getting thrown in jail. But you are answering questions..." Gakupo stepped out of the shadows and suddenly a bright light was turned on. When I finished adjusting my eyes, I saw Miku and Mikuo were here too.
"Now Len, we're going to ask you questions. If you lie, all I'm going to say is that the punishment will be quite 'shocking'. Yeah, High-five!" He turned around towards Mikuo, and he just stepped aside slowly.
"Anyways, question number one: Did you know Kagami Rin in the past?" I tried to come up with a lie. I don't want to get Rin in trouble.
"Of course not! I barely met her when I got this job!" When I said that, something shocked me. It hurt a lot, and my hair was all messed up and starting to loosen out of the ponytail.
"What was that all about?!" Gakupo only chuckled and said, "Next question, how long have you known her?"
I thought before saying, "Only for a while now. She has been on the news, and I met her during this job." I got shocked again, making my hair looser. Man, I hate this stupid machine and its creator.
"Tell me the truth Kagamine! If you tell the truth, then you won't get shocked anymore."
My ponytail was half-way out of the ponytail, and I'm so tired! So I just decided to tell them the truth. They have me up to a lie detector anyways. "Fine. I've known her since we were in elementary, and she was my best friend. She protected me from bullies, and she's been such a good friend! We always had fun together, and we shared everything with each other. But she never told me who her parents were. Now I see why..."
Gakupo nodded towards Mikuo and he got me off the machine. I just ran towards my room. I just told Rin's life to Gakupo. This is bad. If she finds out I ratted her out, she'll never talk to me again. I just laid down on my bed hugging the monkey plushy.
Suddenly, a girl with long teal hair and a weird headband came inside my room. What now?! I want some time alone!
"Mr. Kagamine," she said, "Swan's stealing from the toy store downtown. Miku has a date and Mikuo's busy, so we'll be your helpers for today!"
"We?" She signaled for somebody to come, and then a boy with blonde hair and the same weird hairband came in. What kind of boy wears a headband?
"Let me introduce ourselves. My name's Ring Suzune, and this is Lui Hibiki. We'll be your helpers for today since the Hatsunes are busy. Get changed, and let's go!" She closed the door and left me to change. I changed into my usual superhero outfit and ran outside.
Ring was wearing the dress she wore to see me {A.N./ Her usual dress. Same for Lui's outfit.} and a black masquerade mask on her eyes. Lui wore the same outfit also, only he was wearing a red mask that wraps around his head, like mine.
"So, you ready?" I gave Ring a nod and we were on our way.
It's time to face Rin. Man, it was easier to fight her when I didn't know who she was, but now, this will get really tough. I hope I can face her for the first time in years.
Gotta find it, gotta find it, argh! Where are the stupid art supplies!
"Swan!" Rei yelled from the other side of the store, "I found them!"
"Do you still have the other stuff?" I walked up to him.
"Yep. This should be enough stuff, right?" He handed me the art supplies
I went over the list of items I wanted to steal: A couple teddy bears, brand new art supplies, and one of those big toy cars little kids could ride in. I had the teddy bears in my panda backpack along with the art supplies Rei just gave me. Rei was carrying the toy car. We have everything we needed to steal. Now we need to go before-
The crash in the front of the store interrupted me. Darn! I really don't want to face him right now...
I found Len looking confident at the front with two people I didn't know hovering behind him. Where were the leek twins? Did they quit or something?
The people I didn't know (Let's call them PIDK, 'kay?) formed a ball of light in their hands and started shooting Rei. Since PIDK were fighting with Rei, Len was my problem. I concentrated and turned myself invisible. I used my super speed to run around the store looking for something to tie him up in. When I found some jump rope, I ran back to where he was and ran around him, while also tying him up. While I looked victorious, Len was struggling to get free. I looked to see if Rei needed any help, and he was cornered by PIDK. I ran up to him and picked him up before PIDK could hurt him. Honestly, Rei needs to look out more.
"Swan, you can put me down now." I looked down at Rei and his face was burnt with a few cuts here and there. I looked around for a place where he could rest and I put him in a pile of teddy bears.
"What are you doing? We need to fight!" Rei was trying to get up, but I quickly set him back down.
"No, I need to fight. You look really bad, so you need to rest. I already have Len tied up, anyways. Just stay here." I walked away before he could protest.
Len was still tied up and PIDK were heading towards me. One of them had laser eyes, and aimed them at me. I turned invisible and ran around. There's no way anyone could shoot at me while I was invisible. But, the teal one had her eyes on me the whole time. I'm guessing she could see me. Darn. I looked towards Len and saw he was halfway out of the rope. I ran to get more rope and tied him up again. When I was done, I put my hands on my hips. Len's eyes widened and he said, "Rin, look out!"
He knows?! I couldn't feel my body anymore. That's when everything went black.
I watched as Rin fell to the floor on top of that Len boy. I felt fury as I saw the teal girl looking triumphant. I'm going to kill her for hurting Rin!
I quickly got up from the teddy bears and ran towards the teal girl with all my strength. I used my hands to make small balls of fire form on each of my palms. As I tried throwing them at her, the boy tackled me from behind and he held my wrists back. I felt something cold on my wrists and then I realized he handcuffed me. I tried forming fire on my wrists to melt them, but nothing came out except smoke.
"Nice try," the boy laughed, "but these handcuffs drain your powers. You won't be going anywhere."
He picked me up by dragging me away like I was some doll. The teal girl untied Len from the jump rope and then she handcuffed Rin. Len picked her up bridal style and then he flew up with the girl helping the boy carry me up into the sky. When we were close to their headquarters, they slowed down and landed on a platform. After that, they threw Rin and I in jail like sacks of flour. When we touched the back wall, the boy said, "You're going to be in here until tomorrow morning, where we will ask you questions and then put you back in here for probably the rest of your life. Understand?"
I answered with a simple "Hai." and they walked away. I saw Rin sleeping peacefully besides me. Since I didn't want her to get uncomfortable I positioned her head on my lap and sat with my back touching the wall. Soon sleep took over and I closed my eyes.
Don't worry, Rin. We'll get out of here. I have a plan...
Well, I hope this chapter is to everyone's liking. Also, I hope I can update soon, but no promises! And this was a long chapter, too! 3,000 words, not bad for me. Now, if I get at least 5 reviews, I shall update before the end of the week! How does that sound? :) Well, I would like to thank all my reviewers and readers out there for following me so far! I'm truly grateful. :D Sayonara!
