Heyo! I'm back! Anyways...
...I forgot what I was going to say. :'( So I guess you should just read this chapter (and review it :D)
OH, WAIT! Two things: One, thanks for the reviews! Two: The author of "Married to the Enemy" gave me permission to continue this story, so I guess that I will :D
Disclaimer: Psh, I totally own Vocaloid! *Suddenly police come and try to catch me, and then we engage into a high-speed car chase (even though I'm too young to drive) until I have to jump out of the car, and then is cornered in an alleyway by helicopters, SWAT teams, and the cops.* Fine, FINE! I do not own Vocaloid. Happy?
Rin's P.O.V
"So, Luka and Gaku... what do you want to do?" I had finally been released from the set (even though we hadn't been filming anything yet), so I wanted to show Luka and Gakupo some city life, or some fun things.
"I dunno. Any suggestions?" Luka asked.
"Karaoke?" I suggested. Luka and Gakupo (as well as me some years ago) live in a small town, so I wasn't sure if they had karaoke stalls.
"Karaoke? Well, count me in," a random Len said. Where did he come from?!
"I refuse," I said quite bluntly.
"Aw, why? Is it because you are too embarrassed about your terrible, scratchy voice, and the less people who hear it, the better?" Len asked in a taunting voice.
"NO! I'll have you know that I have an amazing voice. So, screw you! Anyways, maybe I don't want you to come because I don't like you. Every consider that, genius?" I asked.
"Just let him come," Luka said quietly.
"E-EH?!" Gakupo screamed, probably worried that Len was stealing Luka.
"L-Luka? Why?! Why did you go the dark side?!" I asked in a trembling voice, while Len began laughing like an idiot. It somehow reminded me of Shigure from Fruits Basket. But, seriously! My own best friend?
I then noticed the cold smirk that Luka was wearing, and knew that she had something up her sleeve.
"After all, anyone could tell that he is a friendless loser, who is pathetically lonely, and is desperate for some friends," she continued.
Ouch... that sounded mean...
"I LOVE YOU, LUKA!" I shrieked as Len began to (fake) cry, and Gakupo cheered.
"Anyways, let's go already! I know this awesome place," Len said, apparently recovered from Luka's mean (yet awesome) comment.
When we got there, we rented the room for an hour. Then, Gakupo, Luka, and I plopped down on the couch, while we pushed Len to the mini-stage. "Sing, shota-boy," I said. He glared at me, but then picked out a song called "Spice!"
...Ew. Who would want to do it with him?!
Well, his voice was pretty nice. Only good quality about Len Kagamine... and he is pretty cute, too...
SNAP OUT OF IT, RINNY!
After that, Gakupo hopped onto the stage, and began singing a song called "Dancing Samurai."
It was the stupidest song I have ever heard. Yeah, it was catchy, but, come one. A Dancing Samurai?
Luka went up and began singing softly, the song name being "Double Lariat." It was her own original song (at this place, you could put a CD in, and play it through the speakers as you sang), and it was awesome, as well as the dance she did along with it (A/N: Project Diva 2nd dance!)
Next was me. Nothing seemed too appealing to me- most of the songs were inappropriate, anyways- so I decided to sing my own song, called "Bye Bye My Blue Bird." I closed my eyes as I sang, ignoring my friends and Len, and allowed myself to get absorbed into the music.
I finished, and then sat down, my cheeks light pink. Luka and Gakupo both smiled at me, and then went up to do a duet together. It was then that I caught Len's face: It was pink, and it looked like he was in some sort of shock. Over what, I have no idea, but when I opened my eyes after I finished singing, he seemed to be staring at me.
Weird boy.
After Luka and Gakupo finished singing "Magnet" together (A/N: GakuxLu Magnet is my fav version of Magnet! Go listen if you haven't already!) Len seemed to have recovered. He then jumped onto stage.
"Luka! Sing a duet with me, and allow our love to blossom through this song," Len said in an excited voice. What an idiot. Luka looked at Gakupo for permission, and he rolled his eyes and nodded his head, even though there was this depressed aura all around him.
They began singing a song called "Floating Love, Moon Flower." (A/N: I do NOT support LenxLuka, but this song is pretty awesome) They sounded pretty good together, much to Gakupo's displeasure. Once they finished, Len hopped off the stage in some sort of trace, but Luka stayed on. "Len... this next song that I wrote... it's dedicated for you," she said. Gakupo and I both fell out of our seats in shock, while Len began smiling happily. The music began playing. Wait a minute... that song...
"Just be friends. All we gonna do, just be friends."
Have I mentioned how much I love Luka?
Gakupo and I began cheering like fangirls while Len put his head between his knees. Luka smiled broadly, although I could tell that she felt a bit guilty. Once Luka finished, she pushed me to the stage. "You're next," she said happily. I just rolled my eyes with a soft sigh, and then choose to sing my song, "Melancholic."
"Next! Rin and Len duet," Luka said happily. I began to protest (Len was still too lovesick over Luka to do anything), but then Luka threatened, "Sing, or else everyone will know about you during third grade, okay?" I gulped and stopped protesting. "The song you will be singing is called 'Dreamy Cherry Blossom.'" The music began, and it actually sounded quite nice. I swayed lightly to it, and then lyrics started rolling across the screen. I would sing first, and then Len, and then both of us.
When I heard trembling sounds of strings in the night full of cherry blossoms
I fell for him at the moment I saw him
Wait... WHAT?!
His mere existence has colored all in me since his violin sounds surrounded me
Happiness that I had imagined lost its color and was destroyed
I believe my life in this way will be happy all the time
But I know I have to get mature sometime
I'm afraid of becoming an adult
I might lose my indirect grace
Would I be forgiven to abandon everything to love you for the rest of my life?
I'll definitely dream a different dream tomorrow
A dream of a colorless world without you
This song is so depressing, in a way...
Many people died on the edge of devastation at that time
Everything has gotten back to life as usual but I still feel pain in my heart
I've talked a lot since I met you
You reminded me that the world is still hopeful
If we are doomed to hurt each other in the fabricated world
Bottling up my emotions, I'll let you go
Unforgivable but ardent feelings towards you
I'm not forgiven to abandon everything to love you for the rest of my life
I'll definitely be playing the violin here tomorrow
In a dream of the endless world
I somehow got caught up into looking into Len's eyes, as he softly sung to me. Where they always that shade of blue? They looked so pretty... I found myself drowning in the ocean of cerulean...
Dreamy cherry blossoms, please don't die...
My empty love story lasted only for 16 nights
Even though I have to give up on this love real soon
Just for now...just for now...let me love my dearest
Did he always look this cute? His hair was ruffled a little, but it still looked good in it's gold ponytail, which looked so soft... I found myself leaning in so that we were sharing the same air. It felt kind of... nice...
If only I could love you for the rest of my life...
I have to end off my unforgivable love story
To kill all feelings towards you...
Please let me dream a dream of a endless world that never ends
The music stopped playing, but Len and I kept our position, our faces dangerously close, our eyes staring deep into each others. What was going on? Why was I so warm? Why did I feel so tingly?
Was it Len?
I leaned in a tiny bit closer, somehow enjoying his scent- a mix between bananas and some sort of perfume- and he leaned in as well.
And then my phone rang the loudest that it ever had in my life, as well as Len's.
Len and I both screamed and jumped away, both bright red. I checked my phone, carefully avoiding anyone's eyes. It was Teto, so I answered. "OY, RIN! GO TO SLEEP! SHOOTING BEGINS TOMORROW!"
"B-But it's o-only seven," I said while cursing my stuttering voice.
"Why are you stuttering?" Teto asked in a suspicious voice
"N-No reason."
"Then... GO TO SLEEP!" I sighed and hung up. "Listen, I need to go home right now. Teto wants me to," I said. Len nodded his head.
"Ted as well. I guess we should go."
"Okay," Luka said. I shook my head quickly.
"You guys go on a date, or something. I will be asleep, and there is no point for you to be forced to come home so early," I said. Luka smiled yes, Gakupo cheered, and, for once, Len didn't say anything about how Luka should stay with him. Instead, he was deep in thought over something. "I'll be leaving now," I said after I handed them my share of the money. I waved goodbye, and was walking outside the building when Len suddenly called, "Wait up! I'll walk you home." I stared at him, curious.
"Why would you want to walk me home? You apparently hate me," I said. I then blushed when I thought about the song that we had shared.
"Oh... I dunno... But, if you got hurt on the way home, and no one saw you, then what would happen? And, you are a girl, so..." I just shrugged and began walking. "Oh, you live in that direction."
"Yes. Why?"
"Ah, I live- nevermind." I looked at him curiously, but continued walking.
"Also, we need to stop by the store for a few minutes. I'm out of oranges and toilet paper. You can wait outside." Len nodded his head, and we arrived, I made a quick dash in to grab what I needed. After about seven minutes, I came back out to see that Len was gone. "Len?" I called out. "Leeen?" Hmp. THAT JERK MUST HAVE LEFT ME SO THAT I WOULD LOOK STUPID!
"Hey, little girl," a voice behind me said. "Wanna have some fun?" I whipped myself around, fully prepared to hurt whoever just asked then, when I realized that no one was behind me. That means that if they weren't talking to me, there was some other girl in danger! I raced around, searching all of the alleyways, when I finally saw some dark figures at the end of one.
I sprinted, and then punched the guy in the front in the face. "YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT DO GIRLS!" I screamed while his two cronies looked at me in shock. I just rolled my eyes. "Don't trick little gi- LEN?!"
And there he was, in all of his glory. He was cornered against the wall and, although he looked furious, he still looked like he was about to cry.
"Rin?"
"What are you doing here?"
"SHADDUP!" The man who I punched got up. "Oh, so there are two little girls, now... going to be real nice tonight."
"I'M A BOY!" Len shouted, while I pointed to him and said, "He's boy, not a girl." The man laughed.
"I don't believe you," he said and then lunged for me. I quickly moved out of the way.
"I'll have you know, that if you hurt me in anyway, I will personally come after you and kill all of your carrots."
"Carrots?"
"Yes, CARROTS! So, you better behave well, or else!"
"Why am I scared of you again?"
"BECAUSE I AM RIN KAGAMINE!" Crap, that came out louder than expected. The men roared with laughter.
"Yeah, and I'm the Queen of England." I bowed.
"Nice to meet you, your majesty," I said politely. "Although, I didn't know that they Queen was into yuri."
"I WAS BEING SARCASTIC."
That makes sense.
Suddenly the street lights flickered on, and I could see their faces properly, as they could to see ours. "T-THAT REALLY IS RIN KAGAMINE! AND, THAT'S LEN KAGAMINE!" I rolled my eyes.
"No shit, Sherlock," I said sarcastically. "I thought we already established that."
"I-I'm s-so sorry, K-Kagamine-S-Sama, and Kagmine-S-Sama." I just rolled my eyes for the fifth time that night.
"Leave!" The men scrambled away, and I released a breath that I hadn't realized that I had been holding in. I then turned to Len who was staring at me in... awe? No, that wasn't possible.
"Y-Your amazing," he gasped.
"Up you go, girlie," I said, ignoring his comment. For some strange reason, though, cheeks turned bright red. "I can't believe that you were mistaken for a girl, even in this situation!"
"I-It's not my fault!"
"Shota, shota, shotacon!" I said in my singing voice. Len growled, but I just laughed. "Calm down, shota! We need to go home, now."
We arrived at my small apartment some time later. "Y-You live here!" Len said in astonishment. "But it's so small!"
"It's more than enough for one person, so I am fine," I said.
"Where are your parents?"
"In my hometown- where Luka and Gakupo live. I came here to follow my dreams, and thus, I live alone," I explained.
"Who pays for your food?!"
"Me."
"Does your chores?"
"Me."
Len just gawked at me. "Don't you have any servants, or anything?"
"Um, no. Most normal people don't."
"Really? Weird." I guess he comes from a rich family. Stuck up snob. "Anyways, I should get going." I nodded my head, and then waved goodbye. I then went to the balcony my room was connected to, thinking about Len and I's relationship. I then noticed a figure slowly walking, and realized that it was Len.
"Oh... I dunno... But, if you got hurt on the way home, and no one saw you, then what would happen? And, you are a girl, so..." I just shrugged and began walking. "Oh, you live in that direction."
"Yes. Why?"
"Ah, I live- nevermind." I looked at him curiously, but continued walking.
He must live in the other side of town. I felt bad since the walk back would take a long time. I quickly ran back inside, grabbed something off the counter, which happened to be banana flavored soda, and ran back out. "LEN!" I screamed. He turned around, and looked at me in confusion. "THANKS FOR WALKING ME!" I said, and then I threw the can (which probably wasn't a good idea). He caught it with a stupefied expression. "NIGHT!" I called, and then went inside and got ready for bed.
*Time Skip: The Next Day, At the Set*
"Okay, people! Let's get started! Rin, Len, you're up," Kiyoteru said. I slowly walked up, trying to stop my hands from trembling.
It was the scene were Len and I's characters would first see each other threw the fence. It was apparently supposed to be a powerful scene, even though no words were to be said. Everything needed to be shown through our actions and our facial expressions.
"Action!"
I looked at Len, trying to progress the emotions Kiyoteru wanted.
Nothing came.
Unlike when I would act most of the time, my mind went blank, and I couldn't seem to be able to act in the way that I wanted.
"Cut!" Kiyoteru called. I gulped, knowing that I must have looked terrible, and Kiyoteru would kick me out of the movie. And, my life would be over.
Instead, he said, "Okay, scene 23, if you don't mind." I stared in confusion, and then flipped through my script as everyone was getting ready. It was supposed to be the scene of my character dying.
"Action."
As I laid in the bed, everything clicked, and I knew exactly what I should do- what motions, hand movements, facial expressions. I played my part with more confidence.
"Cut," came Kiyoteru's stern voice. "Everyone, that will be it for today." Murmurs of confusion erupted across the room, but the crew and cast did as they were told. "Teto, Ted, Rin, Len, will you join me for lunch today." It was supposed to be a question, but it was phrased as a statement. I nodded my head wordlessly.
*At Lunch*
"I knew this would happen," Kiyoteru mumbled.
"Excuse me?" I asked as politely as I could. We were seated in a small bakery, our orders on our way.
"Rin and Len. I really want you two in this movie of mine, as well as my future ones," He started. "But... Well, you two don't get along, right?"
"No, we don't," Len and I both said simultaneously. Where was he going with this? Was he going to kick one of us out?
"Well, that affects when you two are acting together." I nodded my head slowly. "For other directors it would be acceptable, but for me, the only acceptable standard is perfect." I gulped, instantly feeling sorry for his children. "Now, we have two options. One, and the one I would preferably not do: I will kick one of you off of this movie, and replace you with someone else." My mouth suddenly felt very, very dry.
"W-Wait just a moment," Teto said timidly (first time: TETO BEING TIMID!). "Y-You can't just do that!"
"I don't want to, but I can," Kiyoteru said.
"What about the second option," Ted asked.
"Ah... you may not like this, but the second option is for Rin and Len to live together." Oh, that isn't so bad after all! Just do that, and I'm still in-
Wait...
WHAT?!
I instantly shot up, as did Len. "I can't do that!" I said. "I hate him!"
"And, I hate her!" In response, Kiyoteru raised his eyebrow as if that proved his point. And I realized that it did. I sank back into my chair.
"What's more, you two will live in almost complete isolation of anyone else besides each other."
"WHAT?!"
"That means, no Ted, Teto, friends, family, or anything of the sort. You will be living in my private villa in the mountains. It's the medium-sized one, but I think that you can handle it. That mountain is clear as of right now, so it will only be you two. You can do whatever activities you want- swimming, as there is a pool, hiking, and so on. Inside the villa, there is a number of things you can do as well, so you should be fine. But, another condition is that you must spend at least 8 hours with each other." My jaw dropped. 8 hours?! "You will have to cook, clean, and the sort. My assistant, SeeU, will come up every week to delivery you supplies."
"WHAT IF LEN RAPES RIN!" Teto asked in a frantic voice.
"As if I would rape someone as ugly as her," Len said, while I said, "As if I couldn't take a shota like him." We both growled at each other.
"What's the whole point of this," Ted asked weakly.
"They will grow closer, and so their acting will improve. Not only will that help them in this movie, but it will in many more to come. So, which option do you choose?"
"I need permission from my parents," I said quietly. "And, they would say no to me living with a boy, so I guess not that."
"Really? Well, they seemed fine with it when I contacted them- as well as Len's parents- last night." My jaw dropped once again. "As long as you spend a week with them before you go." I sighed.
"Isn't there anything else besides those two options?" Ted asked, but Kiyoteru shook his head. "Well, it's up to you two." A series of conflicted emotions flickered across me. Would I take option one, with the chance of me being kicked out of my dream (literally), or would I deal with the person that I hated the most for two months?

"I'll do it," I said, but I found myself saying it with Len. We both glanced at each other and then looked away.
"Good. You have a week with your parents, and then it's off to our villa."
"I-I only need to stay with my parents for a day," Len said. I looked at him in surprise. "My father will be too busy for me, so I'll just spend time with my mother." He looked away uncomfortably. Did he not like his dad? It sounded pretty depressing to me.
"Well, if you wish, you can join me and my family for the reminder of the time," I offered before realizing what I was saying. I blushed, but it was too late to take it back
"Really?" I nodded my head. "Okay, well, I'll spend a time at Rin's place then," Len said awkwardly. "What is your family like."
"Crazy," I said without hesitation. Now that I thought about it, this wouldn't be such a good idea...
