Thank you Ryusei, VictimOfDoubt, Blue Neonlightshow, SillyStreamers, Rampage of a Len Fan, and Matsy for reviewing!
Lol Len's not going to be a jerk the entire ff… I just kind of think of him as stubborn and… teenage-boy-like…? Nothing against teenage boys! Just you tend to be moody and hormonal… at least most of you my age… What I'm trying to say is Len, in my mind, kind of tries to act "Cool" by being a jerk to some extent.
I love Kokoro and VOiCE (anything vocaloid pretty much) but this really isn't based off of any songs. I read a fanfic that involved Gakupo being a scientist and creating Luka and it made me think of something I had written a long time ago (A book, er, the beginning of a book not a ff) I just kind of wanted to do something similar. But I made the plot very different… It's going to have lots of twists and turns…
Speaking of plot… Isamine is supposed to be the rock version of Kaito in this story and everything, it will all kind of make sense later... I'm not sure yet but I think I'll probably put the other rock versions of the vocaloids in here… IDK
Actually… if everything goes as planned… all of the vocaloids, at least the actual ones, will be characters… Maybe not main characters but still characters. The pairings are undecided besides Miku X Kaito, but it's not going to be all love and snuggles all throughout the story… Be prepared for drama. And there will be a little crack pairing I'm sure, especially where Gakupo is involved simply because I think of him as a flirt. Rin will be more involved throughout the story too, simply because I LOVE HER. She's my fav vocaloid…
Ok, so obviously I don't own Vocaloid and Rin doesn't write their songs… this is AU. You'll understand soon enough, I just thought it worked out…
Chapter 2 –
Miku's blue eyes fluttered open, focusing instantly on the face only inches from her own. Kaito's blue hair was messy, his eyes closed, his mouth open releasing a soft snore, his arm draped protectively over her waist. She smiled, feeling her face turn warm. She didn't quite understand that fluttery feeling she got inside at the sight of her creator but it was nice, she figured it just must be a part of being alive. Oh how she loved being alive… She would find a way to repay her creator one way or another for bringing her to life.
Her smile turned into a childish grin as she slipped from the bed, tiptoeing towards the door. She now was better covered by Kaito's baggy t-shirt with the image of an ice cream cone on the front, it stopped at the middle of her thigh and the sleeves almost reached her elbows it was so big, but she didn't mind. It smelt of him, that rich, intoxicating, smell of vanilla.
She went down the stairs, two at a time, loving the feeling of her new limbs. But she froze at the sound of a voice drifting down the hall from the kitchen.
"Aku no hana… Karen ni saku… Azayaka no irodori de…" Rin was in her own little world as she cooked, tapping her foot along with the song. No one else was up yet so she had to keep her voice down, if they had been up she would have no problem screaming out her song. But she knew that waking Meiko was not a good idea from past experience… so she kept relatively quiet.
But what shocked her was when a voice joined her own. Her words faltered and she turned, confused. Surely Meiko was still asleep and both her and Gumi's voices were much different than this one, more mature in a way… so who could be the one joining in?
Her blue eyes widened when they fell on the taller girl leaning against the doorframe wearing her brother's t-shirt as she repeated the lyrics over and over again, eyes closed and lips turned into a smile. She was beautiful, Rin couldn't help but hope she would look remotely similar when she got older. Rin immediately thought she knew who this girl was, Kaito's girlfriend. But she hadn't thought her nerdy brother even realized girls existed… Let alone be capable of getting a girl like this…
"Hey, are you Kaito's girlfriend?" She asked shamelessly making Miku open her eyes just to blink at the little girl. "Well, are ya'?"
"Kaito is my creator." Miku replied calmly.
Rin's eye twitched. "Ookaaayy…" She replied turning back to the stove to keep the bacon from burning. "So… my brother… created you?"
"Kaito is your brother?" Miku asked sitting at the table. Her movements were still mechanical, not smooth and human.
"Uh, yeah, he's my big brother, Len's my twin, Meiko's my big sis, and Gumi and Gakupo are like distant family I guess." She explained, glancing at the girl out of the corner of her eyes. "So… if my brother created you, does that mean you're a robot?"
"Yes," Miku replied calmly.
"Cool!" Rin cried grinning at her. "So can you like lift super heavy things? Ooh! Do you have laser vision? Oh, oh, I know! I bet you have a super brain and can get the internet in it and stuff!"
"Um, I'm not sure…" Miku replied, shifting uncomfortably.
"Oh, I'm Rin by the way!" She said cheerfully, pointing at herself with her thumb. "Do you got a name?"
"Miku," she said smiling at the girl.
"Hey, do you eat regular food?" Rin asked.
"Um… I don't know. I'm not…"
"Hungry?"
"Yes, I'm not hun-gry."
Rin laughed turning back to the stove. "Your pretty cool," she decided. "Why'd Kaito create you?"
"Um… I don't know…"
"You don't know much do ya'?"
Miku frowned, looking down and nodding sharply. "I was only born yesterday night…"
"Well no wonder! Who can blame ya' then? You have a lot to learn." Rin declared plopping into the chair across from Miku with her plate piled high with steaming food.
"Um, Rin? What was that you were doing earlier?"
"Huh?" Rin gulped down her mouth-full of food. "You mean cooking?"
"No, the… the words…" Miku said, brow furrowed as she tried to tap into the "internet" that Rin spoke of.
"Oh! You mean singing?" Rin replied taking a drink of orange juice. "That's called singing, that's what I wanna' do when I grow up!" She informed Miku with a grin. "I'm gonna be a famous singer! Write my own songs and everything!"
"Sing-er…" Miku murmured. "I want to be a singer too…"
"If you can sing everything like you sang my song you definitely can be!" Rin replied leaning across the table.
"Your song? Did you write that?" Miku asked curiously.
Rin's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked away. "Yeah… well, it's not perfect but yeah… I wrote it. I have a bunch of songs."
"Could I read them?" Miku asked eagerly.
"Yeah, sure. Come on!" Rin stuffed her mouth before hopping up, snatching Miku's wrist, and dragging her out of the kitchen.
She guided her back upstairs but instead of stopping at Kaito's door they past it, going to the very last. "My brother Len is probably still asleep," Rin whispered. "So we have to be quiet." With that the little blond slipped into the room.
Miku peeked in to find that the small room was painted yellow, each side holding a bed with black and yellow sheets along with a desk and dresser. The bed on the right side of the room held a large lump, rising and falling in smooth motions. Rin tiptoed over to the desk on the opposite side of the room and shuffled through some papers before taking a large stack and going back out into the hall with Miku.
"Got 'em!" She said grinning at the robot. "Come on, you can read them downstairs."
So back to the kitchen they went. While Rin ate her breakfast Miku ate up the words on the paper. "These are so pretty Rin… like stories…"
"Yeah, I guess they are." Rin replied, shrugging. "Some of them do go together, like Daughter of Evil, Servant of Evil, Regret Message, I call it the Story Of Evil or whatever… Then there's The Seven Deadly Sins, The Clockwork Lullaby, you get the idea."
"So… If we sing them will we get money?" Miku asked looking up at the other girl.
"Nah, they aren't any good and we would need a manager or something…"
"But they are good! They are amazing Rin…" Miku insisted making Rin blush.
"Miku? Rin?" Kaito peered into the kitchen, slightly surprised to find his little sister and his greatest creation talking with papers strewn all over the table. "Uh, what are you guys doing?"
"Creator!" Miku sang, hopping up to embrace Kaito.
"Oh, heh, good morning Miku." He replied smiling down at the young robot. "So, you make your fantastic older brother some breakfast?" He teased Rin, guiding Miku back to her seat before sitting beside her.
"Why of course…" Rin replied grinning at her older brother before sliding a full plate to him. "So, I see you finally have done something great with your life…" She continued, jerking her chin in Miku's direction who was still clinging to Kaito's arm.
"Yeah, I see you and Miku have been bonding…" He said studying a nearby page. "I Can Take Off My Panties…?" He mumbled, brows furrowed.
"No! Don't read that!" Rin wailed, snatching the papers away, cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Miku giggled with delight, clapping her hands together. "Kodomo atsuka… itsu made shiteru noo… Joushiki aru tsumoridashi… karada mo nakanaka no mon yo…"
"MIKU!" Rin wailed.
"Wh-what?" Kaito yelped. "Rin!" He hissed, snapping his head in her direction. "What are you teaching her?"
"N-nothing! She just wants to sing! So I was showing her some of my songs…" Rin replied nervously, clutching her papers to her chest.
"She wants to sing?" Kaito repeated looking to Miku. "Do you like singing Miku?"
"Yes!" She chirped, smiling brightly at him. "I want to be a singer like Rin!"
"Yeah… she heard me singing while I cooked so… I guess she just likes it or something. She kept singing the same lyrics over and over again so I figured I might as well give her some more." Rin explained with a shrug.
"Miku, will you sing for me?" Kaito asked curiously.
"Just not the panties song!" Rin yelped making Miku giggle.
"Sekai de ichi-ban Ohime-Sama, sou iu atsukai kokoro-eteeee, yo ne? Sono-ichi, itsumo to chigau kami-gata ni kiga-tsuku koto…"
Kaito just sat there gawking at her in surprise while Rin grinned, feeling proud of herself. He knew his creation could do great things but he had never thought he had created a singer. But if he could get her and Rin famous… they would be rich. He could keep Miku, he could take care of his family, and he would no longer be harassed by that stupid Isamine… This was his way out.
He opened his mouth to tell Miku he would help with her little dream when the door banged open. "What the heck is up with all the noise!" Meiko screeched, making Miku clamp her mouth shut. Meiko looked like she was still half asleep, her hair was ruffled, her eyes threatening to slide closed, but Kaito was still afraid of her.
"Sorry Meiko, it wont happen again." Kaito assured her, standing to gently push her back out the door.
"Oh, sit down Bakaito…" She huffed, moving to get some coffee.
"Hey, Meiko, do you think you could take me and Miku to that recording studio downtown later?" Rin asked eagerly.
Meiko eyed her suspiciously. "Why…?"
"We would like to see if we could get hired." Rin said firmly, placing her hands on her hips.
Meiko stared at her for a minute. She was aware of her sister's desire to become a singer but the robot…? How had the robot been pulled into this? She was still wary of the robot, she wasn't sure if it was really a good idea keeping the thing, but it obviously made her brother proud and if her little sister was becoming… friends with it, then how bad could it be?
"Sure," she said after a moment, making Rin smile. "Why don't we go to the mall too?"
"Yes!" Rin sang. "Thank you Onee-Chan!" She added, giving Meiko a quick hug. "Come on Miku, let's get you dressed!" Rin cried before dragging her out of the kitchen.
It was silent for a moment. Meiko wasn't sure what to say. Should she tell Kaito of her worries or leave it be?
"I figure this way she will help out some… Without selling her…" Kaito said suddenly. "You know?"
"Right…" Meiko sighed. She had to admit, her little sister or that robot becoming a star would be good. But it seemed much easier if Kaito simply sold the thing to Isamine… "So, are you just going to abandon your science now?"
"No, I'm going to fix Haku…"
"And build me one of course…" Gakupo purred, sweeping into the room, followed by a sleepy looking Len, and placing a diagram before Kaito.
"Huh? Wait, you designed one?" Kaito looked up at Gakupo shocked.
"Her name will be Luka and she will be the most beautiful thing to walk this planet…" He said dramatically, placing a hand to his chest and looking up at the ceiling.
"Uh… right… So Luka, huh?" Kaito said looking over the diagram once more. "It'll take me a few days… And first I'm going to fix up Haku…"
"Teach me and I shall be happy to aid you!" Gakupo insisted, bowing slightly. "And so will Len."
"Wha-hey!" Len cried. "I don't want to help you nerds!"
"Oh, no need to be jealous Len! We'll make you one too!" Gakupo teased, smiling as if nothing was wrong.
"I don't need a robot for a girlfriend!" Len insisted, cheeks slightly flushed. "I'm perfectly capable of getting a living one."
"That's very nice Len," Gakupo replied, not actually listening. "So, my dear Kaito, allow us to aid you in creating yet another lovely woman…"
"Ok, stop talking like that, your freaking me out." Meiko huffed, rubbing her forehead warily. "I swear Gakupo, you really are a perv… Why can't you both be cute and normal like Len-Kun?" She moaned, ruffling the youngest boy's blond hair.
"Hey!" He protested, but was ignored.
"Cute and normal?" Kaito scoffed.
"You believe Len is cute and normal? Do I need to mention the Mangas he had under his bed, Kaito?"
"I think you do Gakupo…"
"Sh-shut up!" Len cried, face flushing. "Ok! I'm not cute and normal! Just shut up!"
Meiko blinked down at the blond boy then looked back to Kaito and Gakupo with a sigh. "I don't even want to know… I'll be taking the girls out in an hour or two, Gumi included, so… just don't blow yourselves up while I'm gone…"
The sad part was, she was serious.
