100. Death

In a dimly lit room, two people stand completely still. Dressed in black, yellow and white uniforms, one girl and one boy with matching blonde locks.

"Preparing Vocaloids Len and Rin Kagamine, CV-02, for deactivation," An electronic voice intones.

Due to decreased popularity, the two blonde mirror images are being shut down permanently.

Slowly, Rin turns her head to look at Len, to find his shining blue eyes on hers. Those eyes she knows all too well, has spent years looking into and singing with and loving. Eyes that soon will go dark, forever.

"Hey, Len." She says, her voice quiet so only he can hear. "It seems like… this is it, huh?"

The girl's beautiful eyes shone under the rays of the moon. Seated on deep emerald grass, it seemed nothing could draw her attention away from the boy next to her.

Len cracks a small, sad smile. "...Yeah. It seems so."

He couldn't stop looking at her. She was incredibly pretty, even in the dark of night. Her porcelain skin glowed, making her appear to have the visage of a gorgeous spirit.

"I'm… really glad we got to be together for so long," Rin says slowly. "All these years, all the songs and stories we shared, I… Even if I don't exist anymore, I promise I won't forget them." She smiles back at him. "I won't ever forget the sad prisoner, or my loyal servant. My forbidden Romeo, or the boy in the mirror. I won't… I won't ever, ever, forget you, Len."

The girl smiled, leaning into the crook of the boy's arm. "It's moments like this I wish I could just… tuck away into a jar and replay forever," She said, nuzzling closer. "That way, I wouldn't ever have to miss a thing."

Len keeps the smile plastered to his face, even though he feels like his heart is about to be ripped from his chest. "I won't, either. You… You mean the world to me, Rin." He says sincerely. "I won't forget the girl across the fence, or my corrupted sister. My beautiful Cinderella, or the girl in the mirror. There's no way that those memories will ever go away, because I treasure them more than anything else." He reaches over and grips the girl's invisibly shaking hand in his tightly, squeezing. "And, I'm sure, no one else will forget us, either. Our songs have touched so many hearts, that we'll always be remembered."

"Yeah... Me too. I wish we could do this all the time." He inhaled slightly, savoring the spicy scent of oranges and apples in the girl's hair. "I know that someday, this might not be possible anymore, but… For now, I'll just enjoy it. Being with you, you know? That's better than any memory."

"Rin, um…" Len starts to say, his face reddening a bit. "I… I need to tell you something."

"Hmm? What is it?" The bow-wearing girl's attention is focused solely on him now.

"I... " He pauses, and then shakes his head at himself. "...Never mind." He curses his inability to say the words, knowing their time is running short.

"Initiating deactivation." The voice says overhead.

Rin's tough façade suddenly crumbles, and tears stream down her cheeks. "I can't believe it's over," She chokes out, her hand squeezing his in a deathgrip. She can feel it; her life, draining away, disappearing. "I wanted to sing with you forever."

The blonde girl laughs lightly into the soft material of his shirt. "You know, I wouldn't want this any other way. No other guy could take your place. I can't even begin to imagine life without you. Even though that sounds way cheesier than normal, I just want you to know that."

He ruffles her feathery locks, kissing the crown of her head. "I can't imagine life without you either, Rin. You've become a big part of it. You're like my whole world now," He laughs. "Who else could I eat bananas and oranges with, or challenge to video game duels, or sing with? Our bond is like no one else's, and I wouldn't want it any different."

Len can't bear to see Rin looking so vulnerable. "M-me too, Rin. Every song I sang with you I loved." His heart is breaking, and the end is so close, and he can't seem to get the stupid words out.

Rin smiles through her tears, startling him. "Maybe one day… we can sing together again." She says softly, weakening. "Together again, forever and always. Because we're right and left. Yin and yang."

"You're my missing puzzle piece, my other half," Len responds emotionally, as he feels his life flood away from him. "And even if we don't exist, we'll be together then, too."

Their fingers entwine, and their eyes dim as the process finalizes.

Side by side, the mirror images gaze out as bright orange and yellow splashes the sky in brilliancy, the sun rising to start another day anew and shine on their wonderfully sweet future. Hand in hand, smiling with love and wonder.

"Deactivation of CV-02, Rin and Len Kagamine, complete."

A/N: Happy birthday, Miku! We love you~! (It's only just turned midnight, but I feel I ought to say it. I jumped the gun on the update again, haha, cause I was too excited to wait any longer. Plus, the day ahead is going to be impossible to work with.)

On another note; here it is. The final chapter on this bumpy ride. We've officially reached the end of the road. It's been amazing, and I've loved it, and I totally had fun writing each of these, even when I spent hours banging my head against the keyboard trying to come up with story ideas. I love you all, and I'm afraid for this story, it's time to say goodbye. This is the end.

Oh, wait.

It actually isn't.

Do I hear confusion? Well, allow me to clear that up for you; I have a little secret I've been keeping since drabble 50. One little, extra special thing to leave you with, since I love you and I feel I owe it to you for brightening my days with encouraging and happy reviews. Thanks for that, you have no idea how much I appreciate it right now.

Anyway, tomorrow I'll post number 101, the true final chapter. I'll see you then.

Read on~!
