Chapter Three – Fighting and Apologies
Len POV
"Don't regret this." Rin lowered her form into a slight crouch.
"Never planned to." I gave her a smirk.
"FIGHT!"
Rin pressed the sole of her feet into the ground and quickly lunged at me. If I wasn't already used to Meiko's advances I probably wouldn't have been able to see it, but I was able to easily step aside. Her assault didn't end since she quickly turned around and began to swiftly aim her sabre at my vital areas. I dodged under one of her slashes and pressed my foot down to leap a safe distance away.
"Pretty good at running away." She smirked at me.
"It's just my style." I joked.
Not taking a moment of break she lunged at me again. Slashing down at where I was standing, however, I had already leapt away. She didn't slow down since she dashed at me again thrusting her sabre at me in fast repetitive strikes. I was able to dodge most of her continuous strikes but slipped up for a moment.
"Shit." Rin didn't miss up the chance and delivered a kick to my gut. "Gak!" I jumped back and gripped my stomach. It didn't hurt that badly but it'll probably leave a bruise.
"I'm just getting started." Rin gripped the handle more firmly and continued her advance. Her slashes and thrusts became more accelerated and agile, becoming harder to dodge. Regardless, I kept on doing my best to evade them. My lack of combat experience caught up to me and caused me to slip up again, receiving a more powerful kick to my chest this time. I went tumbling backwards and could hear someone shout my name from the side. I coughed as I stood up. Rin was standing a couple of meters away from me, allowing me to regain my balance.
"What pride do you have if all you do is run away?" she began to mock me.
"I think our definition of pride… might be different" I had to pause for a moment to cough.
"I wonder if the people you hang around with also have no dignity." She didn't really say that with much feeling but those words made something in me snap.
In an instant a powerful burst of force blew straight past the right side of Rin's face, just grazing her cheek. She stood there baffled and I used that moment to close the distance between us and grabbed her collar with one hand.
"I don't care if you mock me and lower my self-esteem. But if you ever talk bad about my friends again I swear I won't stay still." I threatened her and backed off, letting go of her collar. "Headmaster, I'll forfeit from the duel." I walked out of the field and towards the school building. Rin looked as if she didn't understand what had happened since her legs had given out and she was on her knees.
"Victor Miroin Rin." The headmaster announced. Some of the kids were still confused on what had happened but understood the duel was over and headed back to class.
"Why'd you forfeit, Len?" Teto came up beside me.
"I already proved my point." I replied bleakly.
"Are you okay Len?" Neru was on my other side scanning my body.
"Yeah, it'll probably bruise, but I'll be fine." I reassured her.
"Her face got so close to Len's…" Neru muttered under her breath as she recalled me grabbing Rin's collar.
"Pretty brave of you, Len." Meiko patted my back.
"Aren't you supposed to be in class?" I glanced at her.
"She's something isn't she?" Meiko pretended not to hear and went on.
"Yeah, she isn't so bad if she wasn't so aggressive towards me." I murmured.
"I'm curious on what happened in the end. Why'd she suddenly stop?" Kaito brought up the thing I was trying to avoid talking about.
During the last moment of the fight, out of pure rage I had used my Holder ability. I realized what I had done after the fight and was about to start panicking, but thankfully it seemed like no one had noticed.
"I don't know. I just took that moment to get close to her." I tried to say it as nonchalantly as possible. "2nd period is going to start so let's hurry." I decided to cover up my horrible acting by hurrying everyone along.
…
During class Rin had came in 5 minutes late and she appeared to be back to her normal self, though, she had a band-aid on her right cheek. She gave a brief apology to the teacher and took her seat behind me. Fortunately, I didn't feel any hard glare at the back of my neck. Classes presumed like normal.
…
The bell signaling lunch break rang and I stood up from my desk. I decided to go back up to the roof to get some fresh air, so I told Gakupo and Piko to go without me again, which they replied to with a nod. I made my way back up to the roof and opened the door only to see no one there. I don't know why but I felt disappointment. I was half expecting Kaiko to be here to greet me, but I shrugged it off figuring she was now able to make friends in her class. I climbed up the ladder to get beside the water container and sat back against the container. Looking down towards my hand I recalled my fight with Rin. The Holder ability I'd always keep hidden was displayed for that one moment. My Holder power is the ability to focus pressure into one point and then release it. If used correctly I could focus a great amount of pressure on my palm and release it like a cannon blast. It was the first time in 5 years I've used my ability, the most recent use before today being the first time I discovered my power. The same day I decided not to rely on it.
As I fell in deep thought I didn't notice that I was using my ability subconsciously in my hand. Pressuring lightly and then gently letting it burst, allowing a weak gust of air to brush my cheek.
"Wow…" a voice of admiration broke me out of my thought.
"Hu- Ow!" I was startled by the voice and had slammed my head back against the container.
"Eep!" the voice was surprised by my sudden reaction and almost fell back off the ladder. Quickly reaching out I grabbed the person's arm. Rubbing the back of my head with my other hand I noticed that the voice belonged to Kaiko.
"Ah, sorry about that." I helped her climb up the ladder entirely.
"No! I'm the one that should be sorry! I'm sorry for startling you like that." She bowed her head.
"No, I startled you enough to almost make you fall off the ladder." I tried to apologize more.
"You're both sorry so stop apologizing!" Kyu tugged lightly at Kaiko's hair.
We both looked at Kyu and then at each other and broke out into laughter. After our laughter died down Kaiko sat down next to the container as well.
"You have an amazing ability." Kaiko spoke up.
I gave her a confused glance for a moment before I realized what she meant.
"You saw that?" I exclaimed. My ability is really hard to see unless I focus a great amount of pressure or the person looks at it closely.
"Yeah… I don't know why you try to hide it though." I recalled how I lied to her yesterday about not being a Holder and started feeling guilty.
"I don't know why... It's just that I didn't want people treating me any differently than they do a normal person." It felt strange trying to explain to her why I hid my power even thought I insisted on her showing hers to her classmates. I only hoped that she wouldn't have a bad impression of me now.
"Kagamine-senpai must have his reasons, so I'll keep it a secret as well." Kaiko gave me an encouraging smile. I could feel my lips curve into a small smile as well.
"Thanks." I gave her my sincere gratitude. "Oh right!" I remembered something.
"Huh?" she tilted her head at me.
"How'd it go with your classmates?" I was curious on why she was here instead of eating with them and hoped it wasn't because of anything bad.
"Ah!" she looked like she remembered something as well. "I came up here because of that!" she began sounding really cheerful.
"What happened?" I grew more curious.
"I came here to thank you for the advice." She grinned. "Thanks to you I was able to make a lot of friends and they really like Kyu as well!" she was beaming with happiness as if it was her first time making any friends at all. She waved her arms around as she began telling me about what had happened in her class when she told them about her ability. Kyu was desperately trying to hold onto her shoulder so I reached my hand out to let him jump onto it.
Now that I look at her closely, she really is small. She's like one of those big teddy bears you can win at a festival, probably the same height as it too. I'm curious if she really is one year younger than me.
"That's great!" I listened to her story and congratulated her.
"I don't know how to repay you." She said that as if she really did want to repay me, but I waved her off.
"You don't have to. I'm happy if you're happy." I patted her head.
"O-okay…" her cheeks grew red and looked down onto the ground.
As I took my hand off of her head I heard a voice below.
"Kagamine, you here?" someone was looking for me.
I turned towards Kaiko and gave her a shrug and handed Kyu back to her. Standing up from my spot I jumped down to where the voice was. Once I was down I realized who the voice belonged to. It was Rin.
"How'd you know I'd be up here?" I asked her.
"I asked one of your friends. The tall one with purple hair… he's a bit… odd." She couldn't find the right word to explain him.
"Yeah, he's like that." I chuckled. "But why are you looking for me?"
"I wanted to say sorry…" she trailed off for a moment as I looked at her in surprise. "I don't know why I was so agitated, but I said things I didn't really mean." She rubbed her arm with her hand and was glancing down at the floor. "I was planning to thank you earlier for helping me out yesterday, but for some reasons the right words didn't come out and I ended up dueling you."
"Don't fret about it too much" I decided to stop her. "I was in the wrong too anyways, so we're equal." I wasn't upset anymore after the duel. It was like I blew out all of my stress the moment I used my power.
"Well… after the duel I began to realize what I had done and sort of got guilty." She was going continue to apologize but I waved my hand in front of her face.
"Stop! You don't have to apologize anymore. Let's just have a fresh start!" I lowered my hand but not all the way but so I could shake her hand. "Hi, my name's Kagamine Len. Nice to meet you."
She looked at my hand blankly and then realized what I was doing and smiled. "Hi, I'm Miroir Rin. Nice to meet you too." She reached out and shook my hand.
"No hard feelings?" I asked.
"No hard feelings." She confirmed with a smile. "Alright then!" she let go of my hand. "I'm going back down to class so I can apologize for causing so much trouble." She decided and headed for the door.
"Don't cause too much of a scene." I joked as she left.
After I made sure Rin had left completely I turned to look up at the water container.
"You can stop peaking over the ledge now." I called out.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop…" Kaiko's head came out from the top of the ledge.
"Hah. You couldn't really avoid it anyways." I chuckled.
"She's the girl you dueled this morning, wasn't she?" Kaiko got up and was going for the ladder.
"Yup." I answered and walked to the ladder to help her down.
"I'm glad you were able to make up." She was talking about the whole conversation I just had with Rin.
"Yeah." I smiled. "I'm glad too. She seems like a good person… as long as she keeps her cool that is." I laughed at my own joke. I lightly had my hand against Kaiko's back as she climbed down.
After a moment of thought I realized that Kaiko must have had trouble making friends even before now. Her caution for people didn't help either. Once she got down I nodded my head to myself as I decided something.
"You still don't know that many people outside your class, right?" I asked her in confirmation.
"Yeah…" she sounded a bit depressed by that but I continued on.
"Come by my class after school. I'll introduce you to my friends." I grinned at her as she looked up at me.
"Okay." She gave me a nod. "Kagamine-senpai's friends must be nice people just like you." I couldn't help but smile at her way of thought.
"Alright then. Drop on by Class 2-F after school." The moment I said that the warning bell rang, signaling the nearing end of lunch break. "Oh crap. I need to go to the store." I turned around and made my way for the door. "See you then!" I called out to her as I rushed down the stairs. I thought Kaiko was about to say something but then didn't pay too much mind to it because of my hurry.
…
"Len!" Gakupo rushed to me.
"What's the hurry?" I gave him a curious look.
"You just missed out on something outrageous!" he waved his arms around wildly.
"What?" I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Miroir came in class and started bowing and apologizing to us!" he really was exaggerating things.
"Oh." I said bleakly.
"'Oh'? How can you just say 'oh'? This is a big deal!" he grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me. I looked around for the mentioned blonde and found her across the room.
"I thought I said not to cause a scene." I was barely able to get out with Gakupo's shaking.
"I didn't. He's making the scene." She pointed at the boy that was shaking me violently.
I slipped out of Gakupo's grasp.
"I already made up with her, so it's fine." I brushed past Gakupo.
"You made up?! When? Where? Why?!" Neru popped up beside me and began bombarding me with questions. She must still have aggressive feelings towards Rin.
"Lunch break. On the roof. Because." I answered each question shortly.
"Wait did you eat store bread again?!" Neru suddenly didn't care about the Rin situation and noticed the bread in my hand.
"Y-yeah?" her sudden change of topic caught me off guard.
Before she was able to go into another conversation about malnutrition the teacher entered the room.
"Take your seats. Class has already started." The math teacher ordered sharply.
"I'll make sure you eat a healthy meal after this period!" Neru exclaimed as she rushed towards her seat.
"Kay." I laughed.
…
After school finally ended Meiko had appeared at our class.
"Let's go to the Friday gathering together!" she called out.
"Miku and I are going to buy snacks first!" Teto had already packed her non-existing bag and was by the door.
"Yeah, so you guys go on without us." Miku finished packing her actually existing bag and came up behind Teto.
"Oh! If you guys are going to go to the market I'll go with you." Kaito rushed to them before they left.
"Let's go Len." Gakupo and Piko were already at the door.
"Coming." I stuffed the last book into my bag, with Neru beside me, and went to them.
"Rin! You want to come with us?" Meiko called out to the blonde.
We looked at Meiko in surprise since the Friday Gathering we'd always do was something only us childhood friends did since we entered high school.
"Huh?" Rin sounded startled as well. "Are you sure? I mean, isn't that gathering something only you guys do?" she was trying to be modest.
"It's okay if you join us." Meiko insisted. "What about you guys?" she glanced at the group around her.
"I'm okay with it." I agreed since I've decided to make up with Rin.
"I don't mind." Piko said.
"How could I say 'no' to a girl?" Gakupo tried to say it like a joke but we knew it was true.
"I don't know…" Neru was the only one hesitant. "If Len says okay… then I guess I have to agree as well." She wasn't being modest at all.
"That decides it! Let's go Rin!" Meiko gestured for her to come on over. Since when was Meiko on a first name basis with Rin?
"Well, if you guys don't mind me then." She put her bag over her shoulder and came to us.
"Oh right. Can you guys wait for a moment?" I called out to the group before we started leaving the class.
"Hm?" they looked at me curiously.
"Sorry. It's just someone I want you guys to meet." I walked out of the class ahead of the others and glimpsed around. Out of the corner of my eye I could see a small girl peaking at me from a corner.
"Come on, I'll introduce you to them." I extended my right hand towards her. Kaiko came out of the safety of her corner and nodded. Once she came over to my side I went back to the group.
"I'd like to introduce you to her." I stood in front of the group and was gesturing toward my side.
"Who?" they were staring at my empty side.
"Eh?" I noticed that my side was empty as well and turned my neck to look behind me. There Kaiko was hiding behind my back. 'She really is shy' I thought as I took a step aside to reveal her. She was startled by my sudden movement and started darting her head around to see where I had gone. "She's really shy so she doesn't have a lot of friends, so I want you guys to be friends with her." I smiled as I put my hand on Kaiko's shoulder, trying to give her some confidence.
"H-hello. My name is Shin Kaiko…" her voice trailed off into a soft mumble.
"She's so adorable!" Meiko had lifted Kaiko up into the air and into a big hug, rubbing her cheek against Kaiko's.
"Eep." Kaiko could only yelp at what had suddenly happened.
"Why don't we let Kaiko come with us to the gathering too?" I suggested.
"Sure." Gakupo and Piko agreed as they watched Kaiko's helplessness in Meiko's embrace.
"Len brought a girl to join us…." Neru was murmuring something in the back, so I decided to ignore it.
"I don't really have a say in it since I'm being invited too." Rin gave me a shrug.
"Let's go then!"
…
We were now by the riverside making our way to our regular Friday Gathering location.
"Hello Meiko-senpai!" a group of girls wearing our school uniform passed us and greeted.
"Hello girls~" she greeted them back.
"Sakine-senpai is so well-known…" Kaiko looked up at her in marvel. She was saying that while holding onto the hem of my shirt, sticking close to my side. She was on the opposite side of Meiko because of what happened in class.
"She's famous only with the girls." Gakupo smirked.
"That's because most the boys are afraid of her." Piko said.
"Oh, I noticed Sakine-senpai with a bunch of 1st year girls during lunch break." Rin brought up as she recalled the moment.
"Have you ever thought of getting a boyfriend?" Neru asked. She was trying to get in between me and Kaiko.
"I don't see any of the boys as a man." She was waving it off, trying to avoid talking about her love life.
"I'm a man!" Gakupo declared rather proudly.
"Nope." Meiko sent Gakupo flying down the path.
Piko let out a sigh.
"I'll go help him." Piko did a light jog to where Gakupo laid face down.
"People from Japan really are amusing." Rin said as we kept on walking, not waiting for Gakupo. I felt Kaiko nod beside me.
"It's probably because you're with us." I said with humor. "We aren't really a normal bunch of childhood friends."
"You got that right!" Meiko agreed with a laugh.
…
We finally reached a metal fence gate and Meiko pushed it open. There in front of us was a tall building about 7 stories high. It looked rather dull with no outer decorations or any fancy architectural design.
"What is this place?" Rin looked up at the building.
"It's sort of an abandoned building. The owner of this plot of land didn't plan on renovating this place so we asked him permission for us to hang out here." Neru explained. "He didn't seem to mind much." She shrugged halfheartedly.
"The only downside of this place is that there is no electricity." Meiko complained.
"So we use candles that we bring ourselves." I told the two newcomers.
We made our way into the building and climbed up all 7 stories to the top floor. Instead of going down any of the corridors we went through the door directly across the staircase. The room was dark but was quickly lit by Neru, who had grabbed the lighter off a shelf and started lighting the candles. The room was a decent size with two large sofas and a coffee table in the center. On the side there was a large bookcase full of a wide range of books and mangas. There were oddly placed dumbbells in the corner and a blue ice cooler beside them. Next to the bookshelf was something you'd think was strange in a place with no electricity a large 42inch TV on a counter and a game console below it.
"Why's there a TV here?" Rin looked at it puzzled.
"Everything in this room was brought here by one of us." I began to explain. "Meiko brought the two sofas her family was going to throw out. I brought the coffee table from my dorm room. Miku brought the books. Piko brought the mangas and the game console. The TV came from Neru who had no use for it in her room. Gakupo brought the dumbbells and Kaito's ice cooler is next to them. Teto doesn't really have anything here, since she always eats whatever she brings, which is always bread." I finished naming off the owner of each item in the room.
"That doesn't really explain…" Rin started to say something but then decided to not think too deep into it.
"Woo~" Meiko leaped forward and landed on the sofa.
I walked past the sofa Meiko was on and took my seat on the empty one. Kaiko followed suit and sat beside me. Neru was going to sit where Kaiko was, but then sat on the arm rest that was next to me. Rin taking interest in the books decided to go to the bookshelf.
"Len~ Get me some snaaacks!" Meiko turned her face away from the cushion of the couch to look at me.
"Be patient. Miku should be back with Teto and Kaito with some soon." I assured her.
"This room is pretty nice." Rin spoke as she read the titles off the spine of some books.
"The candles set a nice mood… and they smell nice too." Kaiko spoke quietly as if, if she spoke any louder something would break.
"Yeah… those candles are Neru's. She tried to sneak some sensual candles into my room to try to get me into a better 'mood', but I brought them here." I glanced at Neru who was purposely turned away from me. "It'll help relieve some stress after a day at school."
"I've been wondering…" Rin closed a book and slid it back into the bookshelf.
"Hm?" I turned my growingly tired glance to Rin. The atmosphere was making me sleepy.
"Is Len and Neru going out?" she asked.
"Hah?" I looked at her confused with my mouth agape stopped mid-yawn. There goes my drowsiness.
"Yes!" Neru had instantly turned her phone screen off and perked up.
"No no no!" I covered Neru's mouth with my hand to stop her.
"Yeaaah they aren't." Meiko answered while flipping her body over. "She's just very assertive."
"Wha-…" Neru was about to argue about that and then stopped herself, figuring she couldn't convince them either way.
Kaiko was fidgeting a bit during the conversation but it wasn't noticeable.
"We're here!" Teto barged into the room with a plastic bag gripped in her hand with Miku, Kaito, Gakupo and Piko following behind. Noticing this Meiko stopped laying down to give the others a place to sit.
"Miku! Snaaaacks." Meiko spread her arms out to Miku, who also had a plastic grocery bag in her hand.
"Alright alright." She pulled out a plate from the drawer under the bookcase and started placing crackers and cookies onto it. Putting the plate down onto the coffee table she took out a tea set and a thermos water bottle, which was probably full of tea, from her bag. "I'll prepare some tea."
"Where'd you two go off to?" Neru asked Gakupo and Piko.
"After I helped Gakupo regain consciousness, we went back to my place to get the power core." Piko said and took out a cube like machine from his bag. Getting down on his knees he placed the machine down and plugged in the power cord for the TV, into the cube. He got up and dusted off his pants and pressed the ON button of the TV, which now worked. I thought I heard Rin mutter a 'oh'.
"Who's this?" Kaito glanced at Kaiko.
"Good friend of Len." Meiko told him.
"If she's Len's friends then she's a friend of mine as well." He declared with a cheesy smile on his face. "I was thinking about getting some new people for our group."
"Huh? You were planning to bring people into Vocaloid?" I gazed at him in surprise since this was the first time I've heard of this.
"What's a Vocaloid?" Kaiko pulled at my sleeve to get my attention.
"It's a name of our group Kaito decided on when he visited Hokaido and saw a singing robot." I gave her the brief explanation.
"Miku do you have any more books?" Rin turned from the bookshelf to face the tealette who was pouring tea.
"Oh, nice to see you here Rin. And yes, I have a bunch more." Miku finished pouring the tea and placed the cups on the coffee table.
"Anything about Japanese history?" Rin decided to help with the cups.
"Hm… I have lots at home. I'll bring some next time." Miku placed the final cup onto the coffee table.
"Thanks. I've always been interested in Japan ever since I was little girl in France, so it was basically my dream to come here." She explained to us.
"Why Karant?" I asked in curiosity. "I mean, Karant is like the one place that is the least related to Japan."
"My father didn't want me to leave France at first, but after a lot of persistence he allowed me to come here. Saying it was the most convenient place." I remembered her intimidating father from yesterday.
"You have a nice father…" Gakupo shivered as he remembered the man.
"He's great! He's the General of the French army!" Rin got excited and exclaimed.
"A doting father and a daughter who looks up to her dad." Neru commented and we nodded.
After awhile we all started doing our own separate things. Gakupo had gone to the side of the room and was using his dumbbells, while Piko and Teto had turned on the gaming console and were duking it out in a fighting game while sitting on the floor. Kaito was behind the two and was cheering them on. Neru was still on the armrest beside me and was quickly tapping away on her phone. Meiko had fallen asleep and was sprawled out on the other couch. Miku was by the bookshelf and looking through her books, while Rin was with her and I assumed she was talking to her about books or Japan. However, Kaiko, on the contrary, was still sitting beside me in silence. She was anxious and looked like she didn't know what to do.
"How come you aren't talking to anyone?" I nudged her gently.
"I don't know what to say…" she fumbled with her fingers.
"Talk about anything. Anything you like." I advised.
"I'll give it a try." She hopped down from the couch, which wasn't that high and walked towards Rin and Miku.
"U-uhm…" Kaiko tried to get their attention.
"Oh? Hi Kaiko." Rin faced her and gave her a smile. Now that I think about it, Rin is an incredibly kind person. If it wasn't for how we met, we might have been a bit friendlier to each other. But now… things are still a bit awkward between us, despite saying we'd have a new start.
"Uh… mmm…" Kaiko was struggling to say something.
Miku, on the other hand, looked sort of strange. Her eyes were covered by her bangs so she gave off an ominous feeling and if I looked carefully I think she was visibly shaking. Kaiko seemed to have noticed too since she was now gazing up towards Miku.
"Hatsune-senpai?" those words caused something in Miku to snap.
"SO CUTE!" Miku tackle hugged Kaiko into a tight embrace. Rubbing her cheek against her and patting her head with her free hand.
"H-Hatsune-senpai?" Kaiko was greatly confused.
"Took her long enough." Neru smirked beside me.
"What do you mean?" I turned to her puzzled.
"I knew that girl you brought was going to break Miku." Neru laughed as she watched Miku swing Kaiko around in her arms.
"You mean her thing for adorable things?" I asked.
"Yup." She nodded and returned to her phone. The others glanced at the commotion for only a moment and simply shrugged as it wasn't anything new to them.
I glanced back at the ruckus to see Kaiko being thrown into the air and caught by Miku. Kaiko's eyes were literally in the shape of spirals as she was in a daze. Rin was trying to calm Miku down, but to no avail. Deciding that Kaiko had enough, I stood from my seat to stop Miku. However, something stopped her first.
"Roaaaaar! Stop messing with Kaiko!" A deafening roar echoed through the room and I saw Kyu, who I hadn't notice for a long time now, appear. However, there was a big difference this time from when I saw him before. He was huge. He was about as tall as Gakupo. He still looked the same as he did when he was a small figure, but was much bigger than before. Kyu had his arms spread to his side in a protective form, standing between the dazed Kaiko and the startled Miku. Everyone had gone quiet, with only the background music from the game blaring from the TV. They were shocked by the sudden appearance of Kyu and his huge form. Heck, I knew about Kyu but I was shocked by this sudden outcome.
"W-what?" Miku stuttered.
Shaking off my own shock I rushed to Kyu.
"Kyu! It's okay! She didn't mean any harm." I tried to calm him down.
"Are you sure? She was throwing Kaiko around!" Kyu glared at Miku.
"Yeah, Kaiko is fine." I assured him.
"Alright… if you say so." I was surprised that he listened to me so easily. Kyu's body began to shrink and he landed on Kaiko's shoulder.
"Hrm… w-what happened?" Kaiko was able to shake off her daze and spoke.
"I forgot to mention to you guys. Kaiko is a Holder." I told them uneasily. I should have maybe told them about her power earlier. I chuckled awkwardly.
"D-did I cause trouble?" Kaiko slowly got hold of the situation.
"It's not your fault, Kai!" Kyu reassured her from her shoulder.
"So that's her power?" Gakupo pointed at Kyu.
I nodded with Kaiko.
"Such a cool cat!" Kaito exclaimed suddenly and approached us.
"I'm not a cat! I'm a lion!" Kyu insisted.
"Can he shoot lasers from his eyes?" Kaito's eyes sparkled in interest.
"N-no." Kaiko stuttered at his strange question.
"Don't mind him, he's been reading some mangas Piko gave him." Meiko was awake and pushed Kaito aside. "I knew you were amazing the moment I met you." She grinned down at the blunette girl.
"So what's her power exactly?" Neru lifted herself off the armrest.
"It's to turn inanimate objects to life." I started saying. "Well, I guess she should explain since the thing that happened just now was new to me too."
"I-I can turn an object with a face to life." She clarified. "The object can also become really huge and strong at will." Which made what had happened make sense.
"Can you bring more than one object to life?" Teto asked as she jumped onto the couch with her hands pressed down against the armrest.
"No. Kyu was the first thing I used my power on and I haven't used my power on anything else." She poked at Kyu's head and he playfully wacked her finger away.
"So, Kaiko was it?" Meiko came up to her.
"Yes?" she replied and looked up at her.
"How about both you and Rin join Vocaloid officially?" she proposed.
"W-what? You sure?" Rin was the first to react.
"You two are just what we need for our group." Meiko declared firmly. None of the current members of Vocaloid seemed to reject the idea.
"If you don't mind having me…" Kaiko nodded."
"Alright. How about you Rin?" Meiko turned her gaze to Rin.
"Uh… I don't plan on leaving Japan any time soon, so why not?" Rin shrugged and gave us a nod.
"Okay then! Let's welcome the new members!" Meiko cheered.
"Welcome to Vocaloid!"
CHAPTER END!
A/N – A chapter 26hrs after the first… and with 1.5k more words. I'm doing good! I'm not sure if the story feels rushed or not, but if so then I'm sorry.
For those of you who haven't noticed, the Holder in Vocaloid other than Len and before Kaiko is Meiko. Her ability is basically immense strength and fast regeneration. And no, the regeneration doesn't mean her arm grows back after being cut off. It'll quickly heal wounds, broken bones, and bruises. It can also quickly regenerate her stamina so she rarely becomes exhausted.
Also I don't know if you guys are disappointed with Len's Holder ability, but I didn't want his power to seem too overpowered. I don't want fights to be like
"I challenge you!"
"FIGHT!"
*Flicks finger*
"Len Wins!"
Yeah, that'd be too boring. I wanted to give him a decent power that seemed a bit original compared to other mangas. So if you have a problem with it… I'M TERRIBLY SORRY, I'LL GO REPENT ON MY ACTIONS… lolno. You'll just have to deal with it.
I originally planned to extend this chapter to the next day, but I'm writing this A/N at 2AM and I want some sleep so I'll be ending it here. The next chapter might take 2 days to write since I won't be automatically writing after I upload this chapter. I'm too tired for that shittleberry.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter and hope you continue supporting my series~
Drop me a review so I know what you guys thinks!
Reviews
fenrir x2 – Nope that wasn't the manga that almost has the same story line as this c: Len's power was reveaaaaled!
xX little kagami Xx – Yeah it seems transfer student is a really overused thing in fanfics involving Rin and Len
xX little Kagami Xx – Also no! That was not the manga that this almost has the same plot as C:
44Anifreak44- and now you know!
Guest – You mean his power? No, they do not know. Right now it's just Len and the headmaster and if you haven't read this chapter before *SPOILER ALERT* Kaiko knows too now.
I3Len - *fanboy squeals and jumps up and down* what are we squealing about?! You know his ability now! And pfft, why win fights, when you can walk away from them like a badass c:
violet-rash – Well there's isn't much to describe since Len doesn't have any major feelings for Rin yet. That'll happen when the story progresses. It seems I'm getting the 'Okay' for the harem idea.
Charmeleon03 – Wait what now? Rin isn't related to Len by blood. It's not like I disapprove the idea. But the story won't work out if I made them actual twins.
