Rin's Final Concert

Rin's POV

We were on our way to the concert. There I sat on the tour bus, staring at the car lights flashing by, and trembling from nerves. A gentle hand on my own made me turn my head with a start but I relaxed when I met Len's calming face obviously overcast with worry. "Hey, are you ok? You're shaking."

"Y-yeah. I'm ok, just nervous."

"Why?"

"I haven't seen my fans in so long and . . . it's gonna be my . . ." My voice trailed away and I flinched when his lips touched mine. We both inhaled deeply before he pulled away.

"Don't say that." He traced circles on my hand with his thumb and it calmed me down right away. I nodded before leaning my head on his shoulder and snuggling into him, closing my eyes. Today I'd perform my song for you all. I have promised I would write one thanking you, and after hours of working in the hospital during my last night admitted, I completed it.

"We're here you guys~!" Miku chirped and I sat up to look at the massive stadium. Ever since I was a pianist for them, I always got nervous when we arrived at a stadium, or anywhere in fact, for a concert. Just the sensation of having more than one thousand people's attention and drawn to you and their energy increasing because of you is unbelievable. I exhaled to calm myself down and taking Len's outstretched hand, we walked off of the bus to get ready for tonight's concert. For my final concert.

Hours had passed and the tech crew brought me to their position to go over what I had to do. This was my first time lip syncing and as much as I had to do it, I hated it. However, I did have one final song planned that no one, other than a few tech crew members, knew about. For that song, I would sing all out as it would be the last song everyone would hear me sing in person. My friends and I would alternate our performances like we always do, with the usual collaboration numbers, and I made sure that I was the final performance of the night. I wanted to end everything off with a bang, and also think it was pointless of me to ensure of my final act. Everyone at Vocaloid High, and now the tech crew, knew this was my last performance, however, only those at my music school know why. They'll all find out soon enough my real reason. It was bad enough my fans would be depressed for me saying I would no longer be singing. I can't fathom their faces, and spirits, knowing why I would no longer be singing.

"Alright Rin, you're all set." The chef of the tech crew smiled and I nodded.

"Ok, thank you." He flashed me a smile and gave me a 'thumbs up'.

"Alriiight. See ya on stage." I smiled with a nod before hurrying off to get ready for the show.

About two hours had passed now and I had finished getting my makeup and costume done. I wore my green dress used in my Dolls video, as that was the first song I would be performing. My hands, adorned in my green elbow-length arm socks, were clasped in front of me and I walked with my head slightly bowed and a sad face. Only when someone approached me did I look up. It was Len and he had a big smile on his face. "You look beautiful." I smiled sadly at him.

"Thanks." He cupped my cheek.

"Like a beautiful doll you are." I let out a breath in a mock laugh.

"Heh, yeah, a broken doll who's about to crumble." He shook his head with a smile.

"But you're missing one thing." He took something from his pocket and fiddled with my hair and it was then I realized. The only thing missing was the yellow ribbon in my hair, which, ironically, is put in my hair by Len in the music video. He lowered his arms with his genuine smile and I continued to stare at him with wet eyes. "There, now you're perfect." He said before kissing my cheek. As this was all going on the introduction to the concert was being made.

"Now ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've been waiting for! Let's get this show on the road!" As cheers roared stage crew approached me quickly as they grabbed at me.

"Quick, you're on in two, Rin!" They ordered as they shoved me forward and into a small box that was soon closed off. I started freaking out. It was pitch black and I started to hyperventilate.

"She only been around with us for about a year, but look at our baby Doll, now! Everyone, please welcome, Rin Kagamine!"

As soon as he finished his introduction, gears starting to move and I felt myself being raised in the black box, then I realized, as the piano for Dolls began to play, I was placed inside a music box prop. Thinking fast, as the lid opened and I began to twirl on one foot like a ballerina, then I progressed to leaping back and forth on the tiny platform, flowing to movement portrayed by the flute playing.

"When night arrives, lights are lit in this town. The sound of creaking wheels, they echo as I walk with no destination in mind. There is nowhere that I can go. For what reason was I born? Why is my heart a color of silver?

A long time ago that person told me 'You are a special doll.' So that I may be praised by him, I must dance and sing. Even now, I will to continue to sing. I will sing, even if he never wakes up and opens his eyes again. For what reason was I born? Only to sing for eternity.

Someday, I will fall into slumber and go to the same place in which he has gone. My wish is not granted. Living to sing has broken me." I twirled once again to the sound of the flute. Even though I was lip syncing, no one could tell, and the words I had written and felt only made this fakery null and void. Who needs to hear a voice when words alone can do so much?

"As time has flowed on, I have forgotten how to sing. I need to hurry to the place in which he sleeps. While dragging along my cracked body, how many times have I already fallen over?

I longed only for your precious smile. And so, I tried to answer you with this broken body.

I would think of you so often, that I even forgot how to sing.

I arrive in place where the sea can be seen, adorned by flowers. Now, you many sleep.

And now there is nothing I can do to repay you for what you have given to me.

To be together with him! Let that wish be granted now. 'You've lived alone long enough. Rin you've done enough.'

That's right . . . because I wanted to hear his gentle voice, this heart began to resound and change color. Thus, with this voice, I wanted to sing only for him. That's why . . . I want to see him again.

I hear his voice from somewhere near.

I want to see him again!

The voice that I've heard many times in my dreams. It echoes gently in my heart. I am immersed by a soft light. I can smile now." I raised my arms as I smiled to the black ceiling, "'I can smile now!' Thank you." Tears were in my eyes but they did not escape them.

Immediately after I stopped, the room burst into applause and cheers. I remained in my ending bow pose as the lights dimmed to black and the box slowly lowered under the stage, the sound still emanating in the room above me. When the trap door closed and I stepped out of the box I exhaled loudly and all of my friends surrounded me, praising me. I smiled brightly at their words and still couldn't believe how lucky I was to have such great friends.

From then on, we all did a solo performance. Miku with The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku, Kaito with Thousand Year Solo, Gakupo with Dancing Samurai, Luka with No Logic, and Len with Paradichlorobenzene. (A/N I highly recommend these songs if you haven't heard them so please check them out! Especially Len's song mentioned here. It's so catchy!)

Once my friends had performed their personal numbers we all did The Story of Evil, which everyone adored. It was a very long story that we all collaborated to make so we had decided to play our most popular numbers: Daughter of Evil, Servant of Evil, Regret Message, Wooden Girl, Re_Birthday, Prince of Blue, and Duke of Madness. Len's and my stories, Servant of Evil and Daughter of Evil, were now dubbed one of the so-called Kagamine Tragedies, which I was very fishy about regarding my feelings toward.

It sort of felt as though our fans enjoyed Len's and my character never being able to be together. We ended up publicizing the songs Len and I had sung when I had fainted in the snow a few months ago. Not too much time had passed when we decided to call my song Proof of Life, and Len's song Soundless Voice. As of now there were two 'Kagamine Tragedy Stories'. Oh well, if it made the fans happy then it made us happy.

Once we had done our Story of Evil, I did a duet with each of my friends: with Miku, Reverse Rainbow, Kaito Cantarella. Yes I know the story behind the song is quite interesting so to say, but after shooting the original video, we all messed around and I loved dancing with him to it, it felt like I was doing a tango with my older brother, if I ever had one. (A/N I liked their version in the Project Diva Second so yeah that's why I picked this for them XD Also, 'cause I couldn't find any songs with just them singing). With Gakupo I performed Power, figures it sort of related to samurais, which made me giggle once he had written it. With Luka I had done Anti the Holic and last, but certainly not least, I had performed Romeo and Cinderella with Len (A/N Again, if you guys haven't heard of these songs I recommend you check them out. Especially Rin and Luka's song! It's so catchy I was dancing in my chair XD).

The energy blasting in the room was unspeakable. There was absolutely no other feeling like it. I actually had forgotten I had been lip syncing the entire time I was performing with everyone. My spirits were soaring and my happiness practically broke my maximum meter, this was so much fun doing what I loved best with those I loved best. The crowd roared as the lights faded to black on Len and I and we all quickly changed into our clothes for our final group number.

We took our places on the stage and formed a triangle but left plenty of space between us. The girls were in one diagonal line in height order, me, Miku, and Luka, while the guys were in another diagonal in the same order, Len, Kaito, and Gakupo. Luka and Gakupo were closer then Len and I were since we were standing in such an angle. The lights were out, but as the piano played for our song Magnet, each couple slowly spun. First Len and I appeared as the light gradually faded onto us, followed by Miku and Kaito, then Gakupo and Luka. As the rest of the band began to play we all danced around.

Miku: "A feeble fire is lit at the edge of my heart;"

Rin: "Without my knowing, it spreads into burning passion."

Kaito: "My butterfly flapped about aimlessly,"

Rin: "Leaving behind some powder"

Miku; "On your hand."

All: "Pulling apart our intertwined fingers,"

Gakupo: "Moving from our lips to our tongues,"

Rin and Len: "What we're going to do might be unforgiveable,"

Luka and Miku: "And that's precisely why we're so fire up."

All: "I want you to embrace me closely and gauge my limit. Please make me believe that this is not a sing. I want you to kiss me and repaint my body. I want to be intoxicated and drowned in your charm."

Luka: "It might be necessary for you to tie me up;"

Gakupo: "If you love me, then show me some fidelity."

Len: "I can't help but like 'weird' things."

Gakupo: "So let's just go as far as"

Luka: "We can go."

Rin and Len: "With a heart that has gone astray,"

Miku: "We will melt so easily,"

Kaito and Gakupo: "That there is no free time for us."

Luka and Miku: "Even to feel"

Rin and Len: "Each other's tenderness."

All: "What has been repeating is not our dream, but the very unmistaken realistic 'we'. I know as soon as we touch, we can't turn back, but that's fine, for you're my one and only love."

Miku: "As dawn breaks, I become uneasy,"

Kaito: "And end up crying in tears."

Miku, Kaito, and Rin: "You whispered 'it's ok' to me,"

Rin: "But were you also crying?"

Kaito and Gakupo: "Draw me closer, as if we are two magnets,"

Rin and Len: "That even if we separate, we will reunite again."

Luka and Miku: "Let's become one; it's ok not to be able to turn back."

All: "That's fine, for you're my one and only love."

As the piano played its final notes, we spun twice in timing with it and bowed our heads with a hand over our hearts, the girls and guys using their opposite hand of each other, and the crowd roared at our stunning final group number. We all lifted our heads and smiled at everyone in the black room, light up with cameras and glowing leek sticks. I couldn't ask for a much better life. Closing my eyes, I took it all in for a while. However, when the beautiful ruckus died down, butterflies swarmed in my stomach. The lights dimmed and I was left alone on the stage, though no one would saw my friends leave, and knew my final chances to sing my heart out were upon me. I bowed my head, cupped my hands over my heart I awaited the music for my number to start.
