BANG
Len shrieked and leapt into Rin's arms, scared half to death. A dusty, robotic chuckling was heard.
"Forgive me, I was setting of a party favor. It is rare we get a new Vocaloid duo. And siblings no doubt." Rin and Len turned to see a petite girl with purple hair and purple eyes with a blank, hazy stare. "My name is Defoko. Janitor and Head of Production. Welcome to the Vocaloid Institution, your new home. Your dorms are on the third floor. Recording rooms are also on the third floor. Note that anyone caught outside curfew will be severely punished and could be uninstalled." Defoko spoke with a lazy and electronic drawl. Rin put Len down before waving her hands in a dismissive gesture.
"Yeah yeah whatevs. Hey where's our dorms?" She said with excitement in her eyes. Defoko sighed.
"Room 303. You can't miss it." She murmured. Rin was already gone. Len shook Defoko's hand.
"Thank you for that little surprise. It was nice of you." He smiled his little shota smile at her. She nodded.
"It is part of my protocol. Your kindness is appreciated. Good day." Defoko walked away, leaving Len by himself. He looked in the direction Rin ran off in and started walking. He passed loud classrooms where laughter and joy was commonplace. 'How am I gonna fit in at this place?' He thought to himself as he climbed the stairs.
Deep within his thoughts, he bumped into a form.
"Aw nuts! Sorry!" A youthful, female voice groaned as books spilled to the floor. Len knelt to help the stranger.
"No, it's my fault." Len apologized quietly, anticipating to be yelled at.
"Not really. I should have looked where I was going. Stairs are trouble, man." The voice chuckled. Len looked up and saw a teenage girl with short chestnut-brown hair and eyes with a cheerful smile on her face. "I'm Sakine Meiko. But you can call me Sakine." She chimed, picking up the last of her books. Len stood up and offered a hand for her to grasp. Sakine took it, and Len pulled her up.
"I-I'm Len. Len Kagamine." Len stuttered out. Poor little shota wasn't very good with girls. Sakine chuckled.
"Hey, Len. You're that new Vocaloid right? Well I wouldn't say new, but appended." Sakine looked at Len closer as she said this. Len blushed shyly. It was true that he was an Appended version, but that meant he had higher quality music to produce. He nodded, and Sakine grinned.
"That's cool! I'm supposed to be Meiko's younger self but, don't tell anyone this, I'm really her younger sister. I'm gonna rise to the tops with my best friends Teto Kasane and Rui Kagene." Sakine made a silly heroic pose and laughed loudly. Len couldn't help but chuckle as well. Then Sakine looked at Len seriously. "But whatever you do,never talk to Miku or make Mayu mad." Her voice was loaded with warning and caution. Swallowing the lump in his throat, Len nodded. Sakine smiled slightly and grabbed his wrist. "Come on. I'll show you to your dorm." Sakine pulled Len up the stairs while carrying all her books and lead him to the door of Room 303. Len thanked the tomboyish girl and opened the door. It had two twin beds, coincidentally, and it was a nice sunny shade of yellow, Len's favorite color. The only thing he was worried about were the two girls in the middle of the room. Rin was yelling at a girl around her height, with black hair and yellow eyes.
"I keep telling you! This is me and my brother's room! Get OUT!" Rin yelled loudly as she picked up the girl with ease.
"Woah wait Rin! She's so scared she can't speak! Maybe she has a reason for being in here!" Len quickly blocked the doorway, defending the strange girl. Rin glared at Len for a moment. After a few minutes she sighed and put the girl down on her feet. The girl shivered then spoke up in a quiet voice.
"I-I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure your dorm was perfect for you because Miku told me to make all new Vocaloids feel welcome..." She whimpered and she flinched away from Rin. Len patted her back lightly, and when she turned to look at Len, he noticed that she had rimless eyeglasses and a white bow on the back of her head, pinning her hair back. "You're Len and Rin Kagamine right? I-I-I'm Rui Kagene. I hope to become good friends with you. Defoko told me to tell you that your classes begin tomorrow and that the Master has been notified of your arrival." Rui looked down sadly when Len smiled at her.
"Hey no harm no foul. Thanks, Rui." Len said with a smile. Rui looked up at him, her cheeks dusted with a light pink.
"You're welcome." She whispered in reply.
"Gag. I'll leave you two lovebirds alone." Rin groaned in annoyance. Both Rui and Len erupted in bright red blushes.
"N-N-No it's fine! I'll just be leaving!" Rui stammered out as she made her way to the door. "Goodbye!" She waved before running out. Len glared at Rin. She put her hands up defensively as she sat down on her bed.
"Hey I'm just trying to get some me time." Rin shrugged.
"Daughter of Evil..." Len muttered to himself.
"And you're my trusted servant, Lenny-kun." Rin teased with a sly smirk. Len's cheeks reddened with embarrassment and anger.
"In your dreams, Rin." He quickly retorted. Rin looked taken aback, and looked slightly hurt even.
"Sorry..." she murmured. "I just want to make sure that this school doesn't separate us... You're my only friend, Len. You know that right? And I'll always love you no matter what." She looked up at Len and smiled slightly. Len sat down next to her and hugged her close.
"Come on, Rin. We're twins. Nothing will separate us. And, for the record, I love you too." Len whispered as he tightened his hug around Rin.
"Thanks, Len. I'm gonna go explore this awesome school. Wanna come?" Rin looked up at Len and smiled deviously.
"No thanks. I kinda just want to hide away. At least until tomorrow." Len let Rin go and looked away shyly. Rin sighed.
"Aw you're no fun."
"I know."
"Well, see ya later bookworm!" Rin waved goodbye as she left the sibling's dorm. Len lied down on the bed and stared at the ceiling above him.
'I wonder if we'll be able to make it in this place. It's a whole new world for us, and a new adventure. As long as I'm with Rin, I'm happy. But what about Rin? What does she think?' Len thought to himself silently. 'No matter... It'll all become clear in the morning.' Len closed his eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep, having stayed up the entirety of last night packing and calming Rin down. He slept with these words in mind:
A whole new world...
