Sup guys, I'm back again! Sorry for keeping you AWESOME PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY LIKE MY STORIES waiting! I really am kind of uninspired right now, so... Don't expect this to be a long chapter!

DISCLAIMER: I forgot to do this last chapter, so this counts for both! I NO OWN THE SOFTWARE THAT GOES BY THE NAME OF VOCALOID!

-STILL LEN POV-

Rin was just gone! I had no idea where she could've ran off to, and no idea what could've happened to her! I turned to look at Miku and Luka, who seemed just about as flabbergasted as I was. Well, we couldn't just sit there staring all day!

"We have to go after her!" I said.

"But we don't know where she went!" Miku replied. I sighed. She had a point.

"Well, we've gotta search somewhere. Let's split up and look. Just think: 'If I were Rin, where would I go?'" Luka compromised. See, this is one of the reasons she's my friend! She's smart, and always helps me out when I need it.

"You're right." Miku and I said in unison. We split up, and started searching. Now was when things started to get weird. I felt some presence right in front of me. Some blue mist was swirling around. Presence? Blue mist? What was this, a fairy tale? I tried to walk past it, and around it, but it was no use. The mist had some sort of barrier that kept me from going any further! I just stood there, watching the mist swirl around. It just seemed to be dancing around aimlessly, until I realized what it was doing. This mist was being brought together to form something. Or rather, someone. A young girl appeared in front of me. She had a faint blue tint to her skin, and that same presence that mist gave me. She wore a red helmet, and had coral pink hair. She looked like some sort of robot. When she spoke, it sent chills down my spine.

"Why do you approach, human?" she asked me. Even though she seemed young, her voice was deep and a little creepy! "I said back off, human." She seemed like a tough obstacle if I wanted to find Rin.

"Wh-Who are you?" was all I could ask. She had this unearthly glow about her, and her voice was quiet, almost like a whisper.

"I am Nekomura Iroha, gatekeeper of the Spider Lord's cave," she said. "And you are..?"

"I... I'm Kagamine Len, st-student at VOCALOID Academy." I answered. Spider Lord? There are no Spider Lords or little ghost girls in reality! This has to all be a dream.

"Ah, perhaps you have some connection to the Spider Lord's newest victim, Kagamine Rin?" said Iroha. Rin was a victim of the Spider Lord? I was about to pinch myself, this was ridiculous!

"I... I do! Does that mean you'll let me in?" I asked. It was then I remembered Luka, Miku, and I had no way of telling each other if we found Rin or not, and they certainly don't know about this Spider Lord.

"Of course not! That means I have to dispose of you!" Iroha exclaimed. "You could easily get in the way of the Spider Lord's plans!" Dispose of me? Did that mean she was going to kill me?! Before I knew it, a little girl with sharp claws was lunging straight at me. I needn't worry, though. This is all a dream, isn't it? And that's when I felt her claws slash across the skin on my right arm. Her claws had to be sharp, because they hurt! I then realized, if I was going to get Rin back, I had to fight. Agh, who am I kidding? I have no weapons! Suddenly, I felt a different kind of presence around my left hand. Green mist was swirling around it. Iroha backed up, and looked at me through confused eyes. "The Green Mist... That doesn't mean.." And, a green, glowy sword was in my hand. Well, NOW I have a weapon! I took the glowing sword, and speared Iroha right through the chest. She fell backwards, and dissolved back into blue mist.

"Well, that was easy!" I remarked at the green sword. And then the glow around it began to pulse, and it became heavier, weighing down my arm quicker and quicker until I dropped it. The sword disappeared into green mist again, but this time, the mist followed me wherever I went. I had to heal the gash on my right arm, before I fainted of blood loss. I grabbed a leaf on a nearby tree and tried to clean it up, but it didn't stop the bleeding. I got another one, and pressed on it. The bleeding had stopped for now, but I had to be careful. Suddenly, the scenery around me began to change, and I found myself staring at the entrance to a dark, DARK cave. "This must be the Spider Lord's cave." I looked behind me to see if the mist was still following me, and I ran right into the cave. I couldn't see a thing until the green mist began to glow brighter. It swirled around my hand, again, and I thought it was transforming back into the sword. But this time, it became a torch. And not any ordinary torch, oh no. This torch lit up the WHOLE cave. I trudged ahead, waiting for when I would actually SEE this Spider Lord, and hoping that Rin was still alive.

YAAA! SPIDERS AND GHOSTS AND MIST! Like I said, I was a bit out of ideas when I wrote this, so... Yeah. Also, soccer practice started on Thursday, and I have more today, so that's why I'm posting this so early. I'm going to be pretty busy with that and school is starting up again soon, so I'll be busy with THAT too -_-. Anyway, hope you enjoyed! PLEASE review, it motivates me to write more!
