Chapter 11 – My Little Sister Can't Have A Personality Change!

Kyosuke had just gotten out of bed and walked down stairs. When he went to get something to eat he saw Kirino sitting down next to Miku. There was seat open for Kyosuke to sit. Like usual he'd sit next to Gumi. Breakfast was laid out in front of him.

Kyosuke said, "Vocaloids don't eat human food do they?"

"That's what you think!" said a voice.

Kyosuke turned his head. Rin, Len and Neru sat in the living room eating there breakfast. The voice was the tsundere Neru who was on her phone while eating her breakfast. Miku had leek as a side, Gumi had a carrot, Len had a banana and Rin had an orange. Kyosuke guessed that Neru's character item since she was on it so much. Kyosuke picked up his chop sticks and started with his side, tamagoyaki (rolled omelet).

Kyosuke finished his food (which was very well made in his opinion) and headed towards his room. He enters his room and shuts the door behind him tightly. He plops onto his bed and sighs.

Ring, Ring.

Kyosuke's phone goes off. "Hello."

"Kyosuke-kun!"

"Saori, I haven't heard from you in a while." Kyosuke says.

Saori continues talking, "Well, just wanted to let you know I bought five tickets to the summer con!"

Kyosuke seemed confused, "Five?"

He counted Me, Kirino, Kuroneko, and Saori. Four right?

"Well an extra ticket for Kuroneko's friend Luka."

Luka! Kuroneko introduced Saori to Luka! Saori is an otaku she must know about Vocaloid! Kyosuke thought.

"You know what's funny, Luka looks like that Vocaloid Megurine Luka. I told her to cosplay as Luka when she goes. Kyosuke?"

"Yes, Saori I heard." Kyosuke says reacting quickly.

"No not that Luka said she had some friends in the area and she wanted to bring to the con. She said you know them. How many of them are there?"

Oh crap what should I say. I guess I should just tell her that there's about….five more people. But that's really expensive. How can she afford it? And when she meets them! She could get suspicious. Should I tell her they're Vocaloids? Kyosuke questioned himself.

Then he thought of a plan.

"How about I'll ask them if they want to go then I'll tell you how many, okay?"

"Good plan, Kyosuke! Well bye, then!" Saori hung up.

Kyosuke sighed of relief. Then again it was true. He didn't even know if they wanted to go to the con. Kyosuke hopped of his lazy butt and went down stairs.

Why? Why? Kyosuke asked himself. Why is she in this house?

Kirino and the rest of the Vocaloids were in the living room playing a karaoke game. Rin and Len were on the floor with Neru trying to cuddle up with Len. Len trying to get to Gumi was held back by Rin. Kirino and Miku sat on the couch and Gumi sat on a chair. One seat was left open. There was a girl singing. The girl had somewhat gray/silver hair with tints of a pale pink of it. She had two small braids with the rest of the hair down past waist. She had blue eyes and wore a pink skirt. Everyone (not Kyosuke because he has no idea what the heck is going on) was clapping for her as she sang.

"This "dream" is packed to the brim with all that I want to say… So don't take your eyes off it! And so tomorrow, let's keep skipping ahead!" The song ended.

The girl turned around and smiled while handing the microphone to Miku.

Kyosuke finally speaks up, "Who is she?"

He points to the girl. Everyone turns around to see Kyosuke pointing at the girl.

"Oh, Kyosuke we forgot to tell you….again." Gumi says.

Again? He thinks.

Miku gets up and responds, "This is IA."

She puts her hands on IA's shoulders. "We invited her over."

"Why?" Kyosuke yells.

Suddenly IA starts to cry a bit. "I didn't know I was a burden."

Kirino gets up and hugs IA. "No, no you're not a burden."

She rubs IA's head then turns to yell at Kyosuke. "Look what you did you made IA cry!"

Kyosuke is now more confused than ever. All he did is ask why, so what did he do?

Rin whispers, "Its okay IA is just a bit sensitive… and a crybaby so just be careful about what you say to her. But don't worry she can be really cool sometimes."

Kyosuke now a little less confused than before apologizes to IA.

"Its okay." she responds.

IA sits in the empty seat and calms down.

Kirino scowls, "What do you want?"

"Well Saori bought us tickets for the summer con and―"

"Really?" Kyosuke was cut off by Kirino and her sparkling eyes of excitement.

"Yes really and she wanted to know if you guys wanted to come."

Kyosuke said to the Vocaloids.

"Len and I will come!" Rin says.

"Wait I didn't agree to―"

Rin grabs Len and gives him a scary look.

"Shut up, Len were going. Got it?"

Len tries to reason with her but fails completely. "I didn't agree to this!"

Bang.

Rin hits Len's head.

"Ouch!" Len cries.

Neru agrees to come then begins to cling to Len once she realizes he's hurt.

"I'll go," Gumi says, "only to show off my new outfit from my new upgrade to V3!" Gumi laughs.

"Are you going?" Miku asks Kyosuke.

"Well I don't have a choice."

Miku smiles and says, "Well I guess I don't have a choice either now do I."

"I don't care." IA says.

Kyosuke is now hit with a shock.

What the heck! First IA is a nice, emotional girl and now she's acting all cool! Kyosuke wonders.

IA sits with her legs crossed and has her head on her hand acting like she doesn't care about anything.

Talk about a personality change.

"So you're all going?" Kyosuke asks.

"Yup!" Miku announces.

Kyosuke runs up stairs to tell Saori. On his way up the stairs he hears Miku singing. He stops to listen.

What a good voice! Kyosuke comments and continues upstairs.

Ring.

Kyosuke waits on his bed for Saori to pick up.

"Yo, Kyosuke!"

"Hello Saori, I asked them if they wanted to come and they all said yes."

Saori asks, "How many are there?"

Kyosuke gulps. "Six."

"Oh okay." Saori replies.

Kyosuke wonders why she didn't act surprised or say that she couldn't afford it.

"Um, Kyosuke." Saori says in a low voice.

"Yeah."

"What are the names of Luka's friends? I know two of them are Gumi and Miku but what are the others?"

Kyosuke was afraid to answer that but he knew he had to.

"They are Rin, Len, Neru and Aria (IA)."

"Um, Kyosuke." Saori says.

"Yes, Saori?" Kyosuke responds.

"By any chance are they Vocaloids?"

Kyosuke thought his heart dropped.

Note: The song IA was singing was Kisaragi Attention by Jin on May 27, 2012 at 00:08 from Nico Nico Douga. IA is called IA -Aria on the Planetes- so that's why Kyosuke referred to her as Aria. Please note how you reacted when Saori asked if they were Vocaloids in a review/comment!
