Hello people! I'm back with another chapter! Thank you all for patiently waiting~ Also, Thanks for getting this story 50 reviews! Your reviews always make me very happy and motivate me to continue, so I really appreciate it! ^^

IMPORTANT:

Since this is a story where a contest takes place, I thought it would be more interesting and better if the pairs were not decided automatically. It would be more to fun to see the pairs grow and develop that way. I've decided to create two polls. The polls will features the ladies that Kaito and Len may choose. Depending on your votes, I will shift the story a little towards the winning contestant/person. I'd like to add that females Len and Kaito pick do not need to be a contestant. For example, If you would like to choose a vocaloid like Meiko for Kaito, feel free to do so! Also, characters who are not introduced yet will also be included in the poll. If you have any vocaloid that you believe would be a great addition to the story. Please PM me and I'll decide whether or not I'll incorporate them. A new pole will be created every time a new chapter comes out. Please vote~

WARNING:

Just in case. If anyone watches/reads Naruto and is not caught up with the latest episodes or chapters, Skip over the beginning of Len's POV. It deals with things that happen in Naruto Gaiden. If you are not familiar with Gaiden, you may skip over it as well.

FLAME'S MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC:

Sorry, I haven't been helping Kunoichi much, work is horrible. We both had a lot to do over the summer, and I wasn't much of a help.

It's been a long time, and I hope you like the story. I don't know where Kunoichi is going with it, but I'll help make the story better for you all hehe.

Len is cool. Kaito is awesome.

I don't know people, I feel like I've been drifting away from anime and Vocaloid this past summer. Anything that can bring me back?

General POV

Gakupo Kamui sat frustrated in his room, surrounded by stacks of papers that he had neglected over the past few weeks. He had thought that he could get away with doing it later. So much for procrastinating. It was a good thing that he was amazing at getting work finished quickly. He composed himself and grabbed the first pile of papers that he saw. It was also great that he had a photographic memory.

When he was younger, the country had recognized him as a prodigy. Gakupo was able to speak four languages, play three instruments, and he excelled in all his classes at only the age of 6. His parents were more than proud. Currently, he was viewed as intelligent, calm, and reliable. Gakupo was exactly the man the country wanted and needed.

Gakupo scanned through the papers and took serious notes. In merely two hours, his room was void of any work. He smiled to himself and stretched his stiff muscles. The purple haired man was free for the rest of the day. He could probably enjoy it with Luka.

However, another idea entered Gakupo's mind. He could take his younger brothers out of the castle. They didn't have many chances to get out of isolated area. He hadn't associated with them recently, but they were never extremely close. Most days out of the week, Gakupo didn't have the time to be with them. His father had high expectations for him. King Crypton would work the young man to exhaustion most days. Since the king's attention was now directed to the two younger princes, Gakupo seemed to have time to spare.

Once he heard the golden door knob twist, his head snapped towards the direction of the door. Luka entered with her pink hair in a cute messy bun. She wore a pair of shorts and a graphic T-shirt, causing him to raise a brow. She smiled when she saw his reaction. "What? Don't like what you see?" the young princess asked, shooting him a winning pose.

Gakupo chuckled and shook his head, "You know I always think you look beautiful, Mrs. Tuna. I'm just surprised." He watched her reaction unfold, "It's a good kind of surprise, for a good measure."

Luka grinned, "Nice save, Mr. Eggplant." She closed the door gently behind her and walked over to the front of his desk. She placed her hands on the table as her blue eyes scanned the nicely organized table. "Looks like you've caught up with everything?" she asked.

Gakupo stared at his desk. "Nope. I just put them in the trash shoot," he remarked, sarcastically.

Luka frowned and flicked his forehead lightly, "You can stop with the sarcasm, honey."

"Luka!" the man whined, rubbing the area of his head, as though it hurt real bad.

The princess tried to hide her smile and moved next to him. "Sorry dear," she apologized, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Gakupo kissed her cheek, "I'll let it go, because you did it."

Luka gave him one of her genuine smiles and kissed his cheek as well. "Thank you, Mr. Eggplant. I appreciate it." She paused for a moment, "Can I ask you a favor?"

Gakupo shifted his body, showing that he was giving all of his attention, "Anything." The little gentlemanly actions that the man performed showed his dedication to his princess.

Luka noticed and smiled warmly. "I want to visit my family in the suburbs today. Is that alright?" she asked.

Gakupo tilted his head thoughtfully. "They won't keep you for too long, will they?" he questioned back.

"What will you do if they do decide to keep me away from you?" Luka said curiously.

"I would deploy the entire police force to snatch you back," Gakupo replied smugly, crossing his arms as though that was a genius idea. It was quick and efficient after all.

Luka shook her head while grinning. "Oye! Don't go causing trouble for my family! They're already stalked by a bunch of weirdos nowadays. I even have to disguise myself in order to visit them," she stated.

Gakupo chuckled, "Fine, fine. Go visit them. I was thinking about taking the children out to play, anyways."

Luka blinked. "You all are going out?" she asked surprised.

Gakupo nodded, "They haven't had a chance to get out of the castle in months. I think i'll give them an opportunity."

Luka smiled, as if she feeling sympathetic. She ruffled his long hair, messing it up in the process. "You're hair is so fun to play with!" she exclaimed.

Gakupo frowned. He knew his soon-to-be wife was doing it as a loving gesture, but he'd now have to redo it.

Luka glanced at her watch and frowned, "Looks like it is going to cause problems, if I don't leave now." She gave Gakupo a final peck and walked towards the door. " Anyway, be good to them! Have fun! See you later!" she called, as she left the room.

Len POV

"Wow," Kaito mumbled as he read the most recent Naruto Gaiden chapters on his phone.

"What happened?" I asked, though I was not truly interested.

"Sarada's mom isn't Sakura…" He said frowning.

I jumped out of my seat and stole his phone. "What?" I asked, scanning through the chapter. I found the page which he was talking about. "Oh my…"

Kaito nodded, "Read the next few chapters. You'll feel a little better."

I nodded and sped through it. My eyes scanned the pages carefully, grabbing onto any little detail that could give me some hope that Sakura was the real mother. Kaito watched, somewhat amused.

"Feeling better?" Kaito asked.

I shot him a slightly annoyed glare. "Partially. I just really wanted Sakura to be the mom."

Kaito smirked, "Did you ship them or something?"

"Possibly. They were really cute," I stated, not feeling ashamed at all.

Kaito laughed, "You're such a shota Len!"

"Shut up, Bakaito." I muttered, feeling my cheeks flush a bit.

He grinned, "Don't fret little one. There is still hope. We don't know whose DNA was used for sure, until an adult explains it." He paused, analyzing me. "You must have fangirled when Sasuke referred to Sakura as his wife," he teased.

"Maybe a little," I said, sticking my tongue out.

Kaito continued to laugh on the couch. I watched not amused at all. I didn't usually care for these things, but I took this seriously.

I continued to look through his phone and found that Kaito hadn't downloaded the last chapter. I clicked on it to read it and waited until it loaded up. Scanning through the pages quickly once again, I felt the tips of my mouth curve up. Kaito was right. The mother really wasn't Karin. It was Sakura!

I threw Kaito his phone. "Read the last chapter," I ordered, while internally doing a little happy dance.

The blue haired boy blinked and scrolled through his phone to find it. He smiled, as well, after around three minutes. "That was a satisfying ending," he stated. Kaito slouched into the couch and started going through his phone again, looking through for other things that he could read.

A knock on the door triggered us to sit up straight. Kaito motioned for me to open the door. I quickly straightened my tie and did so.

Gakupo stood on the other side of the door, looking at his watch. He looked up, when the door opened completely and greeted me with a small nod of acknowledgment. "May I enter?" he asked politely.

I nodded, speechless to see him here. Our big brother wasn't the type to sit around and chat all day. Sure, he sometimes skipped meetings and such, but he was usually skipping for one important reason to another. Though it was wrong to show favoritism, it was clear that our father liked him the best.

Gakupo settled himself on a chair opposite to the couch that we were sitting on. "Sit down," he offered, when he noticed me standing. It was odd how he could easily control the atmosphere of the room. Tension seemed to be omnipresent. I glanced at Kaito who sat with perfect posture. I slipped into the position too. It wasn't anything new to us. This is what we were expected to do.

"I finished my work for the day and Luka's unavailable. I thought I would spend it with you two. Of course, I need your consent for that," Gakupo stated, watching us curiously.

Kaito and I exchanged confused looks. I wondered what our big brother had in mind. "I'm free for the day," Kaito said, before I could muster my reply.

"Me too," I added awkwardly.

Gakupo looked pleased with our responses. "Piko and Oliver are also coming with us. I invited them before I arrived here." he informed, before he stood up from the chair. "Go get dressed up in your disguises. Wear something casual. Something that you wouldn't mind getting unkempt. We'll be leaving in an hour. Meet me at the front of the castle." he ordered.

We nodded solemnly. Gakupo gave us another quick polite smile, before exiting the room. The door shut gently behind him. We waited a few seconds to make sure the coast was clear. Then, we relaxed back into our seats.

"What do you think he wants?" I asked frowning. It was rare of Gakupo to interact with us. He was usually too busy to do so. The only time we usually saw him was at dinner or other important meals.

Kaito sighed, "I dunno." He looked at his watch, "Let's get going. We need to get dressed."

I saluted in agreement and stood up. "I'll see you in an hour," I said, waving a goodbye. I walked out of one of the multiple doors and started heading towards my room, through the long hallways.

When I walked into my room, I made my way into the large walk-in-closet. It was more or less it's own chamber. A pair of faded brown shorts and a old white T-shirt caught my attention and I quickly changed into them. I grabbed a thin grey jacket to go with it.

I opened up a slidable closet and looked at the assortment of wigs that I had. It may have seemed odd, but it was easier to pretend to be someone else and go out of the castle rather than be the prince and walk out of the castle. I picked a black wig that was styled similarly to my usual hairstyle and grabbed a pair of golden contact lenses. "Looks good," I mumbled to myself as I adjusted the wig in front of the mirror.

I looked at my watch, twenty minutes had passed since Gakupo had ordered us to meet him. I contemplated seeing Meiko to do my make-up. It would make my disguise more foolproof, but Gakupo indicated that we were going to get dirty anyway. I scrapped the idea. It would have been a waste of time.

I sighed and started making my way towards the entrance. Knowing Oliver, he was probably there early. I could could hang out with him for a while before the others arrived.

"Len!" someone called from behind me.

I gulped and started to pick up my pace. The voice belonged to a female. How did they get into this part of the castle? How did they know where I was? What was wrong with women? Well, they were one thing in the world that never made sense to me.

"LEN!" she called again, her voice growing closer.

I hesitantly turned around, but the girl had already reached me. It was Meiko. Her breath was heavy from running.

"Seriously. I can't believe it took you that long to stop," she said in between breaths. Meiko looked irritated, "I heard from Gakupo that you and Kaito were going out."

"And?" I asked, causing her to look even more angry.

"Gakupo wanted me to give you both final check-ups," she said. "After all, I am your stylist. You should have told me!" she insisted angrily.

I flinched from her outburst. Meiko was dedicated to her job. She constantly made sure that we looked perfect. Now, thanks to the competition, she must have been loaded with work. Meiko had more people to deal with, which led to more stress that came with the job.

"I'm sorry," I apologized. She didn't look satisfied, but she accepted the apology anyways.

"I captured Kaito a few minutes ago. He's in my room right now. I'm just going to do a few minor touch-ups here and there. Gakupo already told me where you're going. I won't do much," she said.

That caught my full attention. "Where?" I asked. My curiosity was getting the best of me. I wanted to mentally prepare myself for whatever our big brother was up to.

Meiko eyes twinkled. "You'll see," she said as she steered me to her office.

The brunette had two separate rooms. She used one of them to style the contestants. The other one was a secret room that we were currently using. There was a very Narnia-like door hidden inside the corner wardrobe. The door required you push a button on the top right. The button was disguised to look like a metal bolt.

Now that Meiko was also styling contestants, it was expected that she would be temporarily not styling us. This way she wouldn't be able to promote any contestant because of bias. From the look of it, Meiko had already become attached to her contestants, but she wouldn't give me or Kaito any information about them, other than information of who they were. This mildly irritated me, still I respected Meiko for keeping quiet about her contestants. It would have most likely been worse, if I had known information about them.

The fact that the prince's stylist was also styling two of the contestant, did not fare well with the other contestants and the nobles. The nobles had argued and spread rumors that this gave them an advantage over the other contestants. The two ladies seemed to be handling it well, though. At least from what I had seen, they hadn't snapped yet.

Kaito POV

"Meiko pleassee," begged a voice that was undoubtedly my younger brother.

"I'm not telling you Len. I didn't even tell Kaito," Meiko responded.

"Is it somewhere we've been to?" Len muttered, as they appeared from the hidden entrance.

"Not. Telling. You~" Meiko sang.

Len frowned and sat down in his chair. Meiko analyzed him and magically conjured up more than a few bobby pins from her pocket. She quickly adjusted his wig, making it look as though it was a natural part of him. She chewed her bottom lip, while she studied his clothes. "How old are these?" she asked. She looked impressed with his clothing choice. I frowned since she had made me change my clothes.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror. The brunette had given me a simple white button up shirt and a pair of comfortable denim jeans.

Len shrugged, "One, maybe two years ago?"

"The celebrity sports day?" the brunette inquired, smiling.

The blonde nodded. "Yeah, I think so," he said, looking nostalgic.

"That day was fun, wasn't it?" I asked, coming into their conversation. I was starting to feel left out.

Len rolled his eyes, "You're only saying that because you won most of the events, Kaito."

I grinned and reached to ruffle his hair. "Maybe," I said, leaning over.

Meiko grabbed my hand, just as I was about to make contact. She didn't look pleased. "Don't," she scolded. "You're going to mess up his disguise."

"Right…" I mumbled, awkwardly pulling my hand back.

"Bakaito..." she muttered under breath. She must have thought that I didn't hear her. My mischievous instincts kicked in. I wondered if Meiko would tell me where we were going if she had a little coaxing...

I pouted and tilted my head to the right. Puppy dog eyes mode was activated. T-1 seconds until take off.

"Mei-chan~ You don't really think i'm an idiot right?" I asked sweetly. Blast off had taken place.

Len rose a brow, entertained by my act. Meiko paused and looked at me, "Eh?"

"You don't think i'm an idiot right Mei-chan~" I repeated, smoothly leaning closer to her. Meiko blinked, her cheeks started to flush a bright pink.

"K-kaito…" She said, taking a step back. I kept myself from smiling. It seems like I had won the battle. Now it was my turn to ask her where we were going.

"Are you drunk?" she asked before I could interrogate her. Meiko's words hit me like a bullet. How could she misunderstand the situation? "What?" I asked, shocked.

Len burst into a fit of laughter. Meiko grabbed a water bottle and threw it towards me. "Drink some water," she ordered. "I don't want to deal with a drunk prince."

I wondered how that made sense, seeing that we usually dealt with a drunk stylist.

I turned to the shota for help, but he stuck his tongue out. "Serves you right for trying to do that," he snickered.

Meiko started adjusting my red wig, which was similar to my usual hairstyle. I noticed Len also did the same thing. I supposed we thought alike.

Meiko continued to chide me about not drinking, unless I was at a party or with adult supervision. I decided to ignore the chiding, seeing as I was the same age as her! Still, the brunette went on asking me questions about when I consumed alcohol in the last twenty four hours. I groaned. Today was definitely not going to be a good one...

Len POV

After Meiko had perfected our disguises, Kaito and I went our separate ways. Kaito had decided to stick around and argue with Meiko for a bit and I went off to find Oliver. As I had predicted, the boy was waiting for us to arrive.

Oliver was sitting down outside, near the steps, absorbed in reading a book. I plopped down next to him. "Is the book any good?" I asked, snapping him out of his deep trance.

He smiled when he saw me, "Yeah. I think you'd like it too."

Oliver offered me the book. I took it and flipped it over for the overview. The description sounded interesting enough. I handed the book back to him. "I think I'll give it a try," I said. He chuckled and put it beside him.

"How's the competition going? Are the contestants nice?" I asked. I was aware that he was helping a few.

"I think I got the weirdest couple," he laughed. I wondered what he meant by that, but I wasn't supposed to ask him. Even if I did, Oliver wouldn't have answered. He was the type to never let out a secret, even if it meant that his life would be taken. Course, there were ways around that. The boy was sometimes clumsy. He could let it slip without knowing it.

"Is that so…" I said. "Want to switch out?" I asked. It was a simple thing. Like Meiko, Oliver had many things on his plate already. I didn't want to overwork him.

The boy shook his head. "No. It's fine. They're good people at heart," He paused. "I like their company," he added, making it clear that he wanted to stick with them for a while.

I supposed he had already grown attached to his contestants, as well. I smiled, "Alright, but tell me if anything goes wrong."

Oliver nodded, "Course." The boy looked around, "Looks like we've got a some more time until everyone comes."

I sighed, "Seems like it."

"What to do? What to do?" Oliver asked, leaning against the castles whitish-grey marble walls.

"Gumi!" someone's shrill voice shouted from inside the castle. My interest piqued.

"I"m so sorry!" another voice apologized, whom I guessed was Gumi's. I peaked inside to see the green haired girl bowing deeply. Shattered pieces of china and glassware were scattered across the ground.

"I promise. I'll make it up to you Anne!" Gumi vowed.

Anne pressed her lips together and crossed her arms. "You better start making it up to me now, because those things cost a fortune," Anne growled.

Gumi flinched at her anger and scurried away. She came back a few moments later, holding a broom in her hand. Anne watched as the girl swept up the shards. The women caught me staring and shooed me away. "We'll need to talk later," she mouthed. I gulped and looked away. Anne could be scary at times.

"That's the girl you danced with. Right?" Oliver asked. He had also watched the little scene.

"Yeah." I said.

The pilot shot me a smile. "Interested in her?" he asked, nudging me lightly.

"She's pretty nice…" I started. Oliver's grin grew, as I uttered those words. I frowned and pushed him away. He was definitely getting the wrong idea. "But, you can't fall in love with someone you just met in one day, Ollie." I finished.

He grinned, "Ever heard of something called true love, Len?"

I sighed. "Shouldn't you be rooting for your girls?" I asked.

Oliver smiled, "I am~!" He glanced at Gumi, once again. "But I also want what's best for you, mate. If you think that one is, then I will support you."

"Thanks Ollie, but it's too early for me to decide. We still have a long way to go," I said, leaning my back against the cold marble.

Oliver grinned, "Good. That means that I can continue to root for my girls."

I rolled my eyes. "I'm starting to worry for them. I mean with a teacher like you...They're certainly doomed."

"I'll have you know that they're doing great," he jokingly pulled out his handkerchief and pretended to wipe away his tears. 'They're already making me so proud."

We paused before cracking up at the joke. "Seriously?" I asked, between breaths of laughter.

Oliver shrugged his shaking shoulders. "Sorry?" he apologized, catching his breath..

"What's so funny?" Kaito asked as he made his entrance. Meiko walked out behind him.

I shook my head, "Nothing." Oliver nodded in agreement beside me. If we involved Kaito in this conversation. He would make a bigger deal out of me dancing with Gumi. Still, I supposed I had my questions about that girl named Miku.

"Okay…" He said with doubt laced in his voice.

Oliver looked at the brunette, "Are you coming with us too, Meiko?"

Meiko shook head head, "Nope. You guys have fun. I'm going shopping with Miki."

As if on cue, Piko and Miki walked in holding hands. "Hey everyone!" Miki greeted, enthusiastically. Piko gave a small smile and nodded to us in acknowledgment.

"Piko told me you guys were going somewhere," she said, looking at us guys. "I hope you have fun~" she chirped. She gave Piko a quick peck on the kiss, before dashing next to Meiko's side.

"Shall we go?" she asked, cheerfully.

Meiko smiled and nodded, "Yep! We'll use my motorcycle today." The two walked towards the castles garage. Workers kept their vehicles there.

"When are we leaving?" Kaito asked, watching the two girls disappear.

"Whenever Gakupo comes." Oliver answered.

I started playing on my phone to keep myself busy, until my older brother arrived. I was starting to become nervous again. Wondering when he'd arrive, I glanced at my watch. The waiting game was the most dangerous of all. It made you more and more worried as each second passed.

A man with short blonde hair and sunglasses walked up to us. I didn't recognize him, until he flashed a familiar polite smile. I suddenly pulled Oliver's sleeve and forced him to stand up with me. Oliver blinked confused. The other two boys straightened themselves up, understanding my actions.

"Looks like you're all here." Gakupo commented. My brother wore a loose T-shirt and a pair of black shorts. He clapped his hands together. "Shall we start?" he asked.

We nodded in unison. I stared at Gakupo, wondering how he managed to fit his long purple locks under the wig. Meiko was truly a miracle worker.

My brother smiled and watched as a small van pulled up. It wasn't something we usually rode. The van was a faded red color. It's metel seemed alarmingly rusted. The vehicle had dried mud stains on the bottom, close to the tiers. The back of the car was dented in various places. I was relieved to see that the lights and tiers hadn't been damaged.

The chauffeur got out of the car and bowed deeply to us. He opened the seat next to his and Gakupo climbed in. The man then opened the seats in the back and allowed us to get in.

The interior of the car seemed freshly cleaned. Though the car was tinier than what I was used to, it was still comfortable. The car ride to our destination was silent. No one dared to speak a word in my older brother's presence during the two hour drive. Gakupo may not have been doing anything to intimidate us, but he gave off a frighteningly powerful aura. It felt unacceptable to speak without permission.

Our only possible source of entertainment was looking out the window and that option was blocked off by the charcoal black tinted windows. I was aware that our older brother wanted to keep our destination a secret, but this was too much. Most of us fell asleep from boredom. A few of us were smart enough to bring something to entertain themselves. A few of us meant Oliver, who had brought his book with him.

When we arrived to our mysterious destination, the chauffeur opened the door. Sunlight bursted in. The two hours of darkness and sleep seemed to have impaired my senses. I jerked back, from the blinding rays of sun, as though I was a vampire. Kaito mimicked my actions and rubbed his eyes. Oliver wasn't fazed at all. He had kept himself awake and busy. Piko, on the other hand was still fast light hadn't hit him yet.

Kaito, still drowsy, let out a yawn and gently shook the sleeping boy awake. Piko seemed confused as he opened his eyes. He was probably wondering why he was asleep next to three guys instead of his girlfriend.

"All awake?" Gakupo asked, when he turned around from the front. My older brother's presence was enough to shock us drowsy people back awake. We straightened up and obediently nodded. Gakupo smiled and gestured for us to come outside, as he got out of the car himself. I scrambled forward and jumped out of the car, entering a beautiful rural others did the same. We stood in a military formation.

Gakupo sighed as he watched us, "You don't need to be so stiff. You can relax. I promise I won't bite you."

We continued standing in our rightful position.

"I'm serious," my older brother said.

We blinked and listened to my brothers previous demand. It didn't feel right to do as I pleased in front of him. That was definitely not a good thing and Gakupo seemed to notice that.

"The reason I brought you here today is so you could all relax and enjoy yourselves, before the competition gets serious," Gakupo said. "No one was there to help me when the contest was happening. I'm willing to help you. Please ask me if you need anything?"

My jaw dropped, as my brother explained his intention. Was he serious? I pressed my lips together, as I thought of what I knew about my information that I knew about him was limited. I thought about Code Agent Kaito. The memories with him were overflowing.

I wondered what my older brother's actual smile even looked like. I glanced at Gakupo who watched us curiously.

"Thank you," I said bowing, not out of respect, but gratitude. If our brother was trying to get closer to us for the first time, I wasn't going to reject his kindness. The group stared at me with surprise. My outburst must have startled them.

I looked up. Gakupo seemed surprised as well. His eyes turned warm. "Stand up, Len. There's no need to bow."

I stood up straight. "Thanks for the opportunity, Gakupo." I repeated.

My purple haired brother gave me another one of his polite smiles. "Go enjoy yourselves," he said, shooing us away from the car.

"Yeah. We will." I stated, heading off to enjoy myself in the old farm, where Gakupo had brought us too
