A/N I have some spare time, and I finished this a while ago, so I can post it now!

I hate revising... it takes too long -_-

But ya gotta do it, so I'll slap myself and keep going!

Anyways, hope you enjoy this one! (again, sorry if stuff doesn't end up quite in order...)

Seven ~ Konoha

As it turns out the next song in the Kagerou Project was actually already out, since it was meant to be Headphone Actor, one of IA's first hits as it was a demo song. The next song was a long-awaited one named Kagerou Daze, practically the theme of the series, as the main story was based around that song, and then the next time Miku and IA arrived in the studio JIN was smiling at them both in a this-one's-gonna-kick-ass sort of way. Yes, the long-awaited glory: Konoha's State of the World. This song introduced a new main character – Konoha, as in the name – who was there when the whole scene of Kagerou Daze happened, but he couldn't do anything about it. Just as Ene was a recreation of Takane, Konoha was a recreation of Haruka.

-But, obviously, that wasn't what was special about it.

Ohhhhhhhhh yeah, Miku and IA were gonna sing together~! The song was fast-paced with a high BPM and high notes that would be difficult for any other Vocaloid to reach – after all, Miku was built to reach the high notes and IA specialises in the high and low notes (though, even though she hated to admit it, she was a little shaky in the middle octave). JIN's co-workers, Sidu and Wannyanpu, designed the characters, and so Miku and IA's current master brought out a few sketches drawn by them and computer models that'd been printed out.

The first thing IA noticed was, "Hey, doesn't he look a little like Len?"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"

"Miku. I thought I specifically told you not to screech that high," JIN calmly reminded the teal-haired superstar as she blushed. When Miku felt they were out of the woods, she sighed a long and hefty sigh, like she was fed up of having to explain stuff to others – there'd been a few more V3s since IA, including a Miku V3, so most of Miku's time had been spent with famous artists thinking about purchasing a Miku V3.

"Konoha does not look like Len. For starters, he has red eyes, plus weird red scaly-mark thingamajigs on his cheek, and…" IA froze as the door opened and Luka, Gumi, Rin, Len and two other Vocaloids she didn't recognise walk into the room.

Yeah, they'd heard, alright!

Rin was epically failing at trying to hide her laughter, Gumi was anticipating the worst, even Luka was smiling, and the other two just seemed… confused. IA immediately guessed they were V3s. Oh, and Len's face was red with anger. Totally normal. Well, IA guessed they were Vocaloids, who were practically anime characters, and in every anime IA had seen (correction: been forced to see) every anime character had some form of mental issue.

"Oh! How could I forget the most obvious one?! Konoha's, like, way taller than Len," she laughed. L.A.U.G.H.E.D.

Oh shit, IA's soul almost attempted to leave her body as Len broke into a fit of rage as Gumi sighed, Rin and Luka laughed outright, and the other two backed up a bit, which was probably more funny than Miku's ignorance or Len's outburst – backing away from an angry banana-boy, ne? Cool.

After everyone finally calmed down, IA pointed out that she only ever mentioned the similarities because she claimed their hairstyle was similar and that Konoha had that same childish face. Then came the next argument: whose turn it was in the studio. Yeah, no-one really noticed JIN quietly sneak out of the room through the backdoor apart from IA, which meant that Miku kept arguing for no reason – but for everyone else's sakes, IA didn't mention it. Miku could be a little hasty at times. After a heated argument between Luka and Miku, IA thought she heard the first letter of her name being called out over a very, very long note.

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII…"

IA looked out through the door, not bothering to stop Miku and Luka (who were now battling each other by singing the 'Anything You Can do I Can do Better' song).

"…IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…"

IA glimpsed a black, purple and pink hoodie and a face with purple hair rushing towards her animatedly.

"…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Yukari gasped for a large breath of air as she'd apparently ran from the top floor of the opposite side of the building to here, one of the other building's lowest floors. IA felt truly sorry for her.

Then a whole load of syllables escaped her best friend's mouth so quick it sounded like she was singing The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku; IA asked Yukari to repeat it slower. She took another large breath and spoke, but this time slower, "IA, it's super amazing, we're gonna duet together! This person's making a song which features both of us! I know it's a bit sudden, but she wants us to make the song ready for Saturday,"

"Saturday?! But that's in just two days! Even the songs in the Kagerou Project take longer time to make than that!"

This meant that IA and Yukari had to run all the way back to one of the highest floors in the opposite building, from one of the lowest floors in the other building. There were two producers in the studio, luckily there were two beds as well. The names of their new masters were Sayo and Ika Musume Hunter (who they could just call Ika). The name of the song was set to be in Roman letters: RENTICA. The pair of Vocaloids soon realised it was only due in two days because they barely sang in it (two whole minutes of the song were instrumental!) which put their hopes down slightly, but at least they could sing together.

After hours of continuous practise of both the song and the choreography, they'd almost got it perfect. Yes, they didn't duet as well as other Vocaloids (but who could sing together as well as Rin and Len, for Creators' sake?!), but the whole song still went together really well. That was when IA remembered she'd wanted to meet the two new Vocaloids that had interrupted her and Miku's session earlier, the man and the lady. She promised herself that she'd ask the others about it soon.

The song was released two days afterwards, just as Sayo and Ika had said. It was a pretty big hit, but didn't last as long as other songs.

"Ah, well!" Yukari and IA would laugh as they looked at the views of others songs around that time and compared them with RENTICA.

The latest Kagerou Project song, however, was a much bigger hit, but nowhere near as big as stuff like Kagerou Daze or Kisaragi Attention, but it was fun for IA to sing with Miku in Konoha's State of the World. At the last practise IA had asked Miku about the two new V3s, the teal-haired girl saying that the man was called VY2, code-named Yuma, and the lady was VY1, code-named Mizki. She also said that their human forms were fanmade, as the only thing that originally represented VY2 was a katana, VY1's being a traditional Japanese fan.

As one of the most recent V3s, IA felt like she should introduce them a bit more, as she was completely and totally lost when she was first created.

Yeah. She was gonna help.

A/N Okay! So, I literally only just remembered about RENTICA so I squeezed it on (lol but Len's lil temper… reminds me of Ed XD)

Okay, so... I have no idea where to put the friendship between Yuka and IA, but it'll probably be in about... four or five chapters because I have the next few planned out already.

And for those who don't like banana+orange...

WARNING: the next chap contains MAJOR LENRIN! (but it's only short and practically nothing happens in it so u can skip it if u must)

Bye!
