Vocalising Desires: AMPLIFIED
Author: Hey, so I think people may like this or may not but let's get into it.
New! Ask Us! – An interview/Q&A with me and all my characters from all my stories. Ash, Miku, Len, Gakupo, Cynthia, etc.
PM me for questions or leave one in the reviews, I will answer them and if you have a certain question for a certain character, go ahead and ask them.
P.S. the song sung in the previous chapter was 'Sekiranun Graffiti' by ryo(supercell). Check out both Miku's and Len's versions of the song. Miku was the original and Len did a cover. They are very good!
DISCLAIMER: WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THAT I MIGHT OWN OR STEAL VOCALOIDS? I CAN'T HACK OR STEAL A JAPANESE HOLGRAM/ROBOT. I LIVE DOWN-UNDER. GOOD LUCK FOR ME STEALING, EH? Or songs/lyrics…
Chapter 2: Stuck With Me (Part 1: Well I Know I'm Not All Right)
-Len's POV-
"Len…Len…KAGAMINE FUCKING LEN!" Kiyoteru-sensei shouted ripping off my headphones. The class sniggered as I was scolded at; I was attempting to catch a tiny nap. But without success, Kiyoteru had senses like a hawk…or dog…or something with good hearing skills.
"S-sorry Kiyoteru-sensei" I apologise standing up and bowing. Kiyoteru sighed and gave me back my headphones.
"Well can you at least answer this equation?" Kiyoteru-sensei asked pointing at the lengthy equation on the board. I feel the look of many of my classmates bore into my spine, I feel a little nervous. But I answer it nevertheless. I move my finger around, mutter and think before nodding.
"The answer is x equals 4" I answer nodding confidently. Kiyoteru-sensei glanced at the board then back at me, nodding. He was obviously impressed.
"Correct, sit down please Mr. Kagamine" he says thinking, a small smile lit up his face but was gone before anyone else noticed. I heave a sigh of relief. I didn't mind maths but I found it too easy, I had been playing music since I was a young child and I guess maybe the structured way of the notes I played had something to do with the way I did maths.
I place my head on my hands and think of a faraway place. Of green hills, pink sakura trees, azure and clear blue waters, a light blue sky with fluffy white and light grey clouds that make up the most intriguing shapes imaginable. I sigh and open my eyes to see another pair staring right back at me. I yelp and scramble back but fell off my chair as I did so.
"Hehehe! So adorable!" the voice giggled cutely and I scowl slightly. It wasn't funny, I realise that class is over and I did…after all, take a nap.
"Christ, what the hell?" I exclaimed at the giggling voice and I see a hand offering assistance getting up.
Now kind people would accept such a hand and thank the person for their kindness and selflessness.
I am a kind person but not an…accepting one.
I grunted and got up myself before brushing myself down. And I recognise the figure.
"M-miku?" I stutter nervously as I saw several boys growl at me and I feel…vulnerable now.
"Yeah! I saw you sleeping so I looked after you when you did, Kiyoteru-sensei let you off the hook this time saying: he must have been studying hard last night" Miku explained smiling, her teal twintails were intriguing to say the least. An unusual hair colour.
Jesus DNA splicing has advanced fast.
"Thanks" I reply bowing. I had a feeling of trust coming from this girl. She was genuine and kind-hearted. Unlike many people I know.
"Hey, would you want to join the Music Club?" Miku asked cheerfully and hopefully. Handing me a sheet with the words: MUSIC CLUB! FOR THOSE WHO ARE TALENTED!
"Um, sorry but I have…errr, other commitments" I said awkwardly, not wanting to say: "fuck off".
"Oh, I see, well if you change your mind, came see me, okay?"
"Okay?" I phrase the one word answer like a question and feel stupid.
"See ya later!" Miku said cheerfully waving from the classroom door. I sigh deeply. That girl has so much energy…I mean…how?
It was end of the day! FINALLY! Freedom!
I pack my books and stuff into my bag and rush out of the class faster than anything ever. I didn't like sitting around doing nothing and I was tired and wanted to do my work then fall asleep…if I can. Insomnia is a bitch sometimes, no all the time.
I walk home without Rin, she is in Kendo club fighting or killing other club members. Already a reputation for her has arisen. Rin the Ripper. She was dubbed. Due to the fact if you gave her a real blade, she'd probably do that exactly. Even Gakupo was wary of her. Gakupo was the trainer (or coach or sensei or master or…argh!) of the club and usually was seen around school with his katana by his side and a war fan that he fanned himself with. That purple haired man was a man of honour, trained by the famous Yuuma himself! A man whom I look up to.
I walk home happily.
"Hey Len!" I hear a voice shout, I turn to face Akaito with his red blazing hair and red flaming eyes. He looked angry he was also with Rei, my black haired doppelganger by the looks of things and some other boys. I gulp.
"Y-yes Akaito-san" I answer.
"That's Akaito-sama" Akaito replied stressing the honorific –sama. I roll my eyes, as if.
"Yes Akatio-san?" I repeat walking away. Akaito is fuming and he wasn't going to get physical I knew the area was too public and already I catch the glimpse of house owners peeking out their curtains watching the red haired boy.
"Stay away from Miku-chan or you will regret it!" he shouted and I sigh and keep walking back.
"Oh! Miku-chan! You want me to walk you home?" Akaito asked the passing tealette as she walked behind me. Wait? Where the fuck did she appear from?
"Oh, no thank you. I'm almost home!" she said smiling, skipping behind me. I groan and slump. I can already see my future slipping away from me.
"I see Miku-chan, see you tomorrow!" Akaito said smiling and she waved farewell and he looked at me but shrugged. He guessed that Miku had no interest in walking home with me. As soon as they disappeared Miku put her arms around him neck.
"WOAH!" I exclaimed.
"Teeheehee, I came just for you, you know!" Miku said giggling and I sigh. I was going to have to never let this girl where the fuck I live. But I guess, I can be friendly; I mean she hasn't actually done me any harm.
"T-thanks?" I phrase it as more of a question than thanks.
"You know, I love the way you sing! You are so talented, more talented than probably Vocaloid 01!" she exclaimed smiling. I raise my eyebrow.
"Didn't Rin say you hate that type of media?" I ask curiously. My suspicions were arisen.
"Errr, yeah but…I do sometimes go onto YouTube and find new…errrr…music" Miku replied nervously.
"I see" I mutter thoughtfully, this girl was strange. My theory was correct as she took out a leek and began to eat it.
Definitely strange.
I walk into the apartment block and press the elevator button 'up' and walked inside and pressed floor 4. And stood patiently as I went up. I walked out and took hold the door knob.
"You live here?" Miku asked and I jump back and give an exclaimation of surprise.
"Why are you stalking me?" I ask fearing my life and possessions.
"I live on this floor too" Miku replied smiling happily and I have a sudden feeling of fear tingle down my spine. This was too cliché! Way too fucking cliché! I mean WTF?! Since when? I never seen her here or around the general area! What is this shit? I am seriously freaking out.
"Can I came see inside?" she asked and I swallow and think. But my thoughts are interrupted by the door opening and my sister bowling me over and racing to Miku.
"I thought I heard you!" Rin squealed in delight and I groan as I get up. Painful.
"Well you weren't wrong" I mutter darkly under my breath.
"Did Len bring you over to do some 'adult' things?" Rin asked winking at both me and Miku. The tealette goes a deep shade of red.
"N-n-no. I just was walking home when I saw Len" Miku replied looking away from Rin.
"Ssssuuurree" Rin said not convinced.
"And you! Why are you with my friend?" Rin asked tapping her foot. Why is she so unhappy about it?
"Errr, same reason as Miku" I reply and she simply nods once and I see the gleam of mischief.
Oh no! Nonononono! Rin you are not setting me up with Miku! No way in hell! I don't want to die young by sexually driven boys!
"Come in, come in" Rin said letting Miku and then me.
"Good work brother" she whispers in my ear as I walk in. I glare at her and she grins evilly.
"Please don't talk about my insomnia" I whisper to her.
"She probably has already figured that one out, considering the rings around your eyes" Rin replied.
"Oh. My. God. Is this Len as a child?" Miku said cutely.
"Yes, it is…wearing…my clothes" Rin said a little embarrassed herself.
"So KAWAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Miku sqeauled and I mentally face palmed, I was like 7 when I went over to visit the Rin's household. Argh! I remember her mother cross-dressing me, before I knew it was kinda disturbing and kind of gay. Then I see Rin smile. Oh shit.
"Yes, my mother noticed Len as a shota and wanted to dress him in as many female clothing she could find" Rin explained triumphantly. I covered my face with my hands. But Miku wasn't going to let Rin go apparently.
"And why were you so calm about him wearing your clothing?" Miku said with a small smile.
"Errr…ummm…ahhhh! Shit" Rin finally managed to say and they laughed hysterically while I get shook my head and went off into my room, shutting the door. I pull out my guitar and starting playing.
"Hey, little kid/Did you wake up late one day?/And you're not so young, but you're still dumb/And you're numb to your old glory/But now it's gone" I sung as I strummed the notes to the verse.
"I fell in love, but it didn't catch your fall/Then I crashed into a wall/Then I fell to pieces on the floor/Now you're sick to death" I started to feel slightly sad.
"Bombs away/Here goes nothin', the shouting's over/Hey X-Kid, bombs away/Here goes nothin', the shouting's over and out/Over and out again" I sung the chorus to the song.
"I once was old enough to know better/Then I was too young to care, but who cares?/I probably would, but Hollywood is dead and gone" my fingers began to shake and my pick began to go up and down.
"You fell in love, but then you just fell apart/Like a kick in the head you're an X-Kid/And you never even got started again" Now I was falling apart. I sung the chorus again and felt like crying.
"And you were searching your soul/And you got lost and out of control/You went over the edge of joking/Died of a broken heart" Now I stopped playing as tears streamed down my cheeks.
"Hey, little kid/Did you wake up late one day?/And you're not so young, but you're still dumb/You're an X-Kid, and you never even got started again" a voice sung with me, unknown to me as I started to sob whilst singing.
"Bombs away/Here goes nothin', the shouting's over/Hey X-Kid, bombs away/Here goes nothin', the shouting's over/Here goes nothin', the shouting's over and out/Over and out/Over, and over, and out" I finished with the unseen voice of Hatsune Miku who was (I presume) peering in through my open door with Rin. I loved and hated this song. It reminded me of myself. I was in love, with the people called parents until…they left me.
-Miku's POV-
Such a sad song, a song that doesn't even sound sad, had a darker and more sinister meaning behind it all. I knew the song well. X-Kid by Green Day from their album Tre. I always thought that song was sad. After all it was about the composer's friend and his suicide. Hence the chorus being here goes nothing/the shoutings over. I thought quietly about me singing with him again. I love his voice but his sadness poured into this song, was off-putting but I understood. If he sung it because of his past then I have nothing to say about it being off-putting. All I wanted to do was hug the boy but that would just embarrass him. So I didn't.
"Yeah, Len always sings that song. X-Kid. A review of himself. I have seen him cry for the entire night just by playing that song" Rin said to me with sad eyes. I nod.
"Well…I want to help him" I said firmly.
"What?"
"I want to help him" I repeat.
"I see" Rin replied with a familiar gleam of mischief in her eye.
Oh no! Nononononono! Don't hook me up with Len! I don't want to embarrass the poor boy! I just want to help him out that's all!
"Anyways Miku, I can always announce to the school who is behind the magnificent Vocaloid 01's voice" Rin said grinning evilly. And I opened my mouth to deny such accusations but closed it with a 'clop!'. Rin wasn't the type to threaten anybody with following it through.
"What do you want me to do?" I sigh.
"Just…help him" Rin replied shrugging and I looked at her surprised. She was expecting something like 'Kiss him!' or 'hug him' or something physical.
"…okay" I said slowly wondering what 'help' entails.
I would find out soon enough though…
Author: Chapter two done!
I do not own X-Kid. Green Day owns it, I am simply borrowing the lyrics to make the story have more emotion. That's all.
