I don't own Vocaloid! (Standard P.O.V is Rin) P.S- For Lost One's Weeping, bold is "Internal Feelings" (read if you don't get it) and regular is Rin
Chapter 5: The Concert
Six minutes until show. We had to change the order last minute because of Len's disappearance. We made that announce that my younger brother was "sick" So we had to change order. But now the show would be a mess. For us, a show is almost like a theater play, with a Night Fever to end everything, in this case, it would be Luka. We were going to do one based around The Story of Evil setup, but Len wasn't here so...yeah. So we had to do a last minute "tour setup". The "tour setup" was when we just do songs when we tour, so we won't have to bring props or anything. It was a lot simpler, but we all knew that it would be disappointing on the viewers side. But we had to do it anyway. And it looked something like this:
Miku: Ievan Polka
Me (Rin): Lost One's Weeping
Kaito: Ashes to Ashes (which he hadn't performed in over six months)
Luka: Night Fever
Meiko was our stage manager, though she does have to do Night Fever eventually. But anyway, it was super chaotic backstage. I had to go with Mei to do the copy of my "darker-self" that we had recorded when I first made the video in Japanese, though I would perform it in English here. I had to be in costume as well, which was a white long-sleeved shirt with a red and yellow collar with a yellow tie. On top I had on a red vest the same colour as my collar with a skirt, same color with yellow and white stripes, and maroonish leggings. My shoes were just black school shoes. My "darker-self", or internal thoughts as I call them was going to wear a red and black stitched coat with a hood with red and black leggings on one leg. "Alright Miku. Good luck out there, we're all rooting." Luka smiled as Miku nodded and ran onstage. Introductions made, show starting.

She ended with the crowd cheering wildly, and waited behind the wing. My turn. I ran onstage, awaiting my music as the props and background were quickly set up. Then the music started.
Feel it cutting into me, the doubting painful knife
Feel it deepening the rift, finally hit just right
Couldn't take the love I had, so weak and burning low
But it grew into a weapon only hurting me, this I know
...is nonfiction
So good with numbers, science, math I like
But I'm terrible at English so I despise
This part of me that wants a simple "right or wrong"
And I feel that everything I choose will always be false
And today
This homework
About me
A blank sheet
Accomplished
Content with
This life I will now live
'Til I think why are we
just sometimes no always
Saying how we're sad and
Saying how we're lonely?
Can you even read the blackboard written clear as can be?
Can you even read his mind? See that kid's lost fantasy?
Can you even find the one who dyed his red heart to black?
Hey, who could it be?
Hey, someone tell me!
Can you even solve the question with your abacus yet?
Can you even stop the rope from hanging him by his neck?
Did we really choose it right saying we're okay this way?
Hey, just tell me how
It's not like I care now
Counting days like numbers, they all pass their prime
And again hypnotically swimming through time
Behind the power and guards I put up
I hide
Knowing they had long died
From problems
My resolve
Just can't solve
That homework
Accomplished
Content with
This life I will now live
'Til I think and he speaks
That demon inside us
Saying "let me just leave"
Saying "someone kill me!"
Can you even read the blackboard written clear as can be?
Can you even read his mind? See that kid's lost fantasy?
Can you even find the one who dyed his red heart to black?
Hey, who could it be?
Hey, someone tell me!
Can you even solve the question with your abacus yet?
Can you even stop the rope from hanging him by his neck?
Did we really choose it right saying we're okay this way?
Hey just tell me how
Hey just tell me how!
Can you even say the formula of area now?
Can you even scream the dreams you swore would never go out?
Who was the one who let my hopes just curl up die?
Hey, who could it be?
No, it's gotta be...
Just open up your eyes, why don't you grow up and see?
But what the hell is "growing up" and tell me when will I be?
Can a single person out there just explain it to me?
Hey, just tell me how
It's not like I care now!
I finished as the lights faded black, and I ran off stage, leaving my internal feelings on stage before she left. The others came towards me, hugging me and cheering me on before we waved Kaito before. It seemed quick to us, but we had been here for a long time, almost an hour, but not quite. Where's Len? I hope Hanzo didn't lie to us after all. Maybe we shouldn't have..." I started to think before I caught a deep purple and a shimmer of black. Hanzo. Our eyes looked for a split second and I nodded, him returning the nod before he looked back at Kaito, who was about to start, setting up when the lights were dark.

I didn't really get the meaning of his song, but the others were saying I wasn't supposed to. But it really didn't matter, I was one of the younger people in Vocaloid, so lots of things I didn't understand. We had our intermission right after Kaito. It had been an hour and thirty minutes and we were now on intermission, which we always did before the last performance. We were all backstage, Luka dressed out and ready, Kaito still in his Ashes to Ashes costume, and Miku and I in our regular clothes. "We'll need to get everyone out as soon as possible." Luka started as she straightened out her dress.
"Yeah. But I highly doubt that their make a big scene in front of all our fans." I counter argued as Luka shrugged.
"I just hope they fulfill their end of the bargain by bring your brother back." Kaito sighed as he looked out of they wing, his eyes most likely on Hanzo, who was the only one we've seen.
"I know. And if they did a thing to my little brother...I swear I'll kill them." I grumbled lowly, not meaning it, but I was in a fit of rage.
"Don't worry Rin-chan. I'm sure they haven't hurt Len." Miku reassured me as she wrapped her arm around my shoulders and hugged me.
"Thanks Miku. And thanks all of you for helping me." I smiled as Meiko ran up to us.
"Guys! Look at this. I found it in the sound booth." she stated, out of breath as she handed Luka the note, which was very ill-written.
Members of Vocaloid,
We currently have the youngest member of Vocaloid, Kagamine Len under hostage. Remember your end of the deal and the money, or there might be consequence...on more than one Kagamine child. We will wait until everyone leaves the building. You guys shall stay on stage until we come down. We'll have Kagamine Len with us so we can peacefully hand him over once you have the money.
Hyosuke
"M-More than one Kagamine?" I gasped as Kaito moved me over to his side. Kaito was like my "guardian" in a way, being my brother's best friend, and the oldest male in Vocaloid. So he often did things at times like this, meaning we have indeed been threatened more than once.
"One Kagamine is bad enough isn't it? So why hurt Rin?" Miku asked as all eyes went to me, tucked under Kaito's arm.
"I don't think they mean physically Miku." Luka sighed as she grabbed my shaking hand. I was scared for my brother's safety, and my own now.
"We won't let them hurt you Rin-chan." Mei smiled as I nodded and she headed out to the sound booth. Stopping and looking at the empty V.I.P. booth.
"Miku. Watch Rin until I get back. Good luck Luka." Kaito started as he ran off to change, Luka onstage. She looked in the sound booth and nodded as Mei started the music.

That was the end. She ran off stage and changed as the rest of us ran onstage, me still standing next to Kaito. We all looked super happy, and the smallest bit tired, but deep down, I knew we were all dreading this moment. We did what we usually did, signed autographs, took pictures, answered questions, nothing out of the ordinary. I even had a few people say that they hoped Len got "better"! But it wasn't until thirty miuntes later that I took it into context. I had to save my little brother. We all looked around once Luka ran back onstage in her normal clothes, but we didn't see anyone. Even Hanzo was gone! "This is getting kind of scary now." Miku shivered as Luka hugged her. "Where did everyone go?"
"I don't know. But I'd certainly like to." Kaito replied, one had on his Ultra Gun, along with Luka and Miku, the other around my shoulders. We all looked again, when I suddenly saw a lock of yellow hair.
"Len!" I cried causing the whole group to turn towards where I was looking. Up in the V.I.P. zone, was who I would guess was Hyosuke, with my brother, tied in ropes, Hyosuke's arm wrapped around him.
"Rin! I'm so glad you're safe." he sighed as he looked at me with a small smile, before gasping with a sudden gasp as Hyosuke jumped onto the stage from the V.I.P zone, which wasn't far from the stage.
"Do you have the money pipsqueak?" he growled in a low voice as I subconsciously backed into Kaito, who moved aside, Ultra Gun at his side as he took the bag from Luka and walked forward.
"It's right here. Now you have to let Len go." he said in a low voice as he handed Hyosuke the money. Hyosuke eyes shifted towards my brother, then Kaito's hand. And with one swift motion, Hyosuke kicked Kaito's hand, sending his gun flying behind him, and pointed his own black Ultra Gun at Kaito as he fell to the floor.
"Kaito!" I heard Luka cry as I heard the sound of a gun loading. I turned to see another man with red hair in a ponytail pointing another Ultra Gun at Luka and Miku, though there was a look of regret on his face. I quickly looked around to realize that I was the only not threatened by a gun at the moment. I started shaking as Hyosuke laughed a little, kicked Kaito in the stomach, sending him sliding across the stage and in pain as he slowly walked up to me, Len in his hands still. My eyes shifted quickly to find Meiko, though I didn't see her or Hanzo. It was just the five of us and the two captors. I hadn't realized how close Hyosuke had gotten until I felt cold metal on the side of my head. My body froze, my eyes stuck on my younger brother.
"Leave her alone Hyosuke! She's got nothing to do with this." Len cried as he struggled in his layers of bonds, his eyes stuck on black Ultra Gun pressed against my head.
"Your lucky boy. You get to see your older sister before two people...get their final song." he laughed as we both looked at each other, tears welling in my eyes.
"What do you have against the Kagamine's?!" I heard Luka asked as all eyes went on her.
"It's not just them. It's all of you tyrant children. It's Vocaloid. I just thought...why not start with the clueless twins first before we move on to the...smart ones." he laughed as he bashed the gun against my head, not shooting me, not poisoning me...but hitting me smack in the head with a gun, which really hurt. I went black, that was it. All was said, all was done. I don't know what happened afterwards.
Len's P.O.V
That just hit my sister in the head with a gun, and she was now unconscious, as was Kaito on the edge of the stage. Luka and Miku were threatened with guns, though they were now being tied. "What was that for!? You could've killed her!" I screamed in agony and pain as I looked at my unconscious sister.
"Shut up Kagamine. She's not dead. And it's time for us to go. You saw her. That should be enough. Sasuke, let's go. I don't know where that idiot Hanzo is, but he'll find his way back." Hyosuke sighed as Sasuke finished tying Luka's hands together, her eyes on me.
"Don't worry Luka. I'll be fine. Tell that to Rin, okay?" I asked as Luka nodded before looking at Miku, then at the unconscious Rin and Kaito.
"Alright. And this isn't the end Hyosuke. We'll save Len. And the twins...will be reunited!"
That's the end of this chapter. Hyosuke lied (duh, duh, duh) Oh well, there are only about one or two more chapters left in this story before I start my others. Look at my profile page bio to see my upcoming stories.
