Wassup wassup guys! Time for a new chapter! Sorry I haven't been uploading but I've been super busy with school and other shit ^^; Anywhoosle last time we left off Rin had gathered all of her Vocaloid friends in the lounge to explain why she left. Let's see how that all goes down ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own Vocaloid

The Explanation

Rin's POV

I sighed and wiped my sweaty hands on my legs as I prepared myself to reveal my disappearance to my friends who stared at me. "Well, I guess you're all wondering why I left." I started then paused for a moment as I looked at them, I looked down. "Well . . . I'm sure you're all aware of how my father feels about music."

"You got that right." Miku said crossing her arms and leaning her back against the soft cushion of the lounge couch. "That jerk." Kaito wrapped his arm around her and rubbed her own to calm her down.

"Yeah . . . well when my father found out about how sick I was, most likely by Mami, he just had had enough of it all . . . so . . . he came and took me away . . ." Kaito, Miku, Luka, and Gakupo nodded knowing why he had enough but Len was still oblivious to my situation.

"But why would he take such a drastic measure now? I mean I'm not saying I would have wanted it at all, but why wouldn't he have taken you away sooner?" I bit my lip; I didn't want to tell him about my condition . . . not just yet . . . Instead I shook my head.

"I don't know, Len." I took his hand in mine and he flinched before looking into my eyes as I smiled. "But that doesn't matter now. All that matters is that I'm back. . . Back where I belong. . . Back home." He smiled and kissed my cheek before hugging me close as I leaned against him, sighing.

He kissed the top of my head. "I'm glad you're back, Rin." He said with a smile.

"So are we." Luka smiled and I giggled,

"Hm, thanks guys. It means so much that you care this much about me." I flinched when I felt many bodies against me and looked up when I saw everyone hugging me. I blinked in surprise at first then accepted the embrace and smiled with my eyes close. These guys are my family . . . They're my everything. They're my home.

A few minutes passed and we were relaxing and talking about things that had happened while I was away. Nothing too crazy had occurred, a few more song, album, and music video releases, but other than that nothing much went on. Suddenly, Len said something I had forgotten to reveal. "Rin? Why did you come back? I'm surprised your father hasn't come back to get you." I froze and tensed up then sat back and moved a piece of hair behind my ear, remembering the night I nearly ended my life, but was stopped by my father.

"Um . . . well . . . something happened . . . We had a long talk one night and he finally came down to terms with me and accepted everything."

"Why do I get the feeling there's more to it than that." He pressed as he stared into my cerulean eyes with his own. "I've seen your father before, Rin, and I know he's not the kind of man to change so suddenly just by a talk. Something else had to have happened to change him." I was silent and everyone stared at me. Then I sighed.

"Well . . . during our talk . . . he brought up . . ." I swallowed. Here goes. "my mother." At that everyone's eyes widened and they leaned forward on their seats.

"Your mother?" Miku asked with much surprise. By the time I met her I had forgotten about my mom so I was never able to tell her how famous she was.

"Never have I heard anything about her." Luka said with equal surprise and I shrank back in my seat as I waited for them to calm down.

"Um, w-well." I started nervously, averting my eyes from meeting theirs and tapping my fingers together. "I just found out about her too from my father, well, at least I learned more about her compared to what I remembered about her."

"What do you mean by that?" Miku asked raising an eyebrow; I sighed and meant their gazes.

"Well . . . I had some memories with her from when I was really, really little but her tragic death stunned me so badly that I had forgotten about her completely until a few nights ago."

"For goodness sake, Rin!" Gakupo exclaimed, "Quit keeping us in suspense, child, who was she?" I took a deep breath.

"Lily Utada." They all froze in utter disbelief.

"No way." Kaito said after a while. "You're lying."

"I'm not."

"It's true." They all gasped and turned their attention to Mr. Takahata who stepped around the corner.

"Are you serious, sir?" Len asked earnestly, "You mean to say that that woman you use to talk about all of the time when you first brought us in was Lily Utada? Rin's mom!" He smiled,

"That would be correct."

"I can't believe this." The blonde sighed running a hand through his spiky hair. They all turned to look at me and Luka's eyes revealed blue sympathy.

"If I'm not mistaken she died of throat cancer, am I right?" I looked at my lap and nodded, biting my lip.

"Yeah, that's right." She placed her hand on mine.

"I'm sorry." I looked up to see her smile. "But I know everything will be ok." I smiled back a little.

"Thanks, Luka."

"So, I'm guessing after your mom died," Miku stated, "your father was too devastated that she had interaction with Vocaloid High . . . and that's why he despised music and disapproved of your life with it?" I nodded.

"Sums it up, basically. He shut our family out completely from the world once my parents married so we could have our own privacy. But, when we spoke, he told me I looked lot of my mom at the time . . . and that's how the topic came up." She nodded,

"Understandable."

"Oh, wait." Luka interjected, "You mentioned that your father isolated your family from the world after they married right?"

"Yes?"

"So does that mean the paparazzi still doesn't know that you're the daughter of a famous ex-Vocaloid?" I sweatdropped with a weak smile,

"Um, yes?" She smiled weakly,

"Well, I don't think that should be an issue to correct, Rin."

"Heh? What do you mean by that?" She simply pointed behind me and I turned to see retreating paparazzi outside the window. I sighed with a grim expression. "Great. . . Fantastic."

Uh oh looks like the secrets' out. What will happen next time? Stay tuned to find out! :D
