Chapter 5
Lily totally ignored me through last class (She didn't even try to copy me!), it's a blessing! When class was over, Len turned to me.
"So Rin, you ready to go?" He looked happy, "It's gonna be fun!"
To be honest, I was worried because I have never heard Len sing. Although, if his voice is as wonderful as his appearance, then I'm sure it will be good!
"Yeah!" I stood up, "Ready to go!"
We started walking towards the Crypton place, Len was telling me it wasn't far. That's kind of too bad, I would have loved to have spent more time with Len.
"So..." I really am terrible at starting off conversations, "Er...what's your family like?"
I was quite interested, all I knew was that his mother was an interior designer, nothing else.
"Well..." Len began, "I'm actually adopted."
"What?" That was my immediate response.
"I couldn't tell you what my real parents were like, they died and I developed a case of amnesia." He said sadly, "I love my 'new' parents though, they're called Luka and Gakupo Kamui! Apparently 'Kagamine' was my original name but I wouldn't have a clue! Luka has pink hair and Gakupo has purple hair. I think Gakupo created my 'shoutaness' side..!"
He grimaced and I gasped, why didn't he tell me earlier?
"I don't really have any close relatives that I know of...Luka has a sister called Gumi though, I call her 'Aunt Gumi'!" He was grinning, this walk sure was getting interesting, "What about your family?"
"Er..." That sure put me on the spot, "My parents are called Rui and Rei Kagamine, normally known as Rui and Rei Kagene for some unknown reason! I-I have 2 cousins called Lin and Ren Haine and they are very quiet and slightly scary!"
I said that much too fast for any normal person to possibly understand, but to my surprise Len nodded.
"Interesting, interesting." He grinned, "Got any pets?"
"Nope, none." I replied flatly, "How about you?"
"I have a dog called Zumi, she wasn't downstairs at the party, I think she was hiding in 'Lu' and 'Gaku's room..."
He laughed happily, I was about to say his dog had a cute name, when I stopped, that was out of character...Only Teto would say dogs have cute names (Or dare I say it; the fluffball was cute without even seeing it!)! Saved by Crypton, I say. The building came into my view and Len pointed to it and said "Here it is!".
We quickly walked inside and a tall man in a casual outfit came to greet us, he had dark brown hair, "Hi, I'm guessing you two are here for the Vocaloid Project auditions? Please, come this way." He began to walk down a hallway slowly, "By the way, I'm Al; better known as 'Big Al' around here."
We reached a door at the end of the hallway, 'Al' opened it and ushered me and 'Angel-boy' in. I was now surrounded by a huge room, it was beautiful. 3 women stood there, with huge smiles on their faces.
One decided to speak up, she had black, curly hair and dark eyes that shone, "Hello and welcome to the Vocaloid Project auditions for this season! My name is Prima." She pointed to herself, "This this Sonika." Prima pointed to the right of herself, where a pretty woman with short green hair was standing, "And this is Ann, better known as 'Sweet Ann'." Prima now turned and pointed to the right of herself, where a blonde woman with what looked like a chain on her neck was standing.
"Your better known is 'Prima the Soprano' my dear Prima...hun." 'Sweet Ann' said, "And Miss Prima forgot to mention that the lovely Al that escorted you in is my arm candy!"
I was mildly shocked, for looking like a woman with such a strict nature, her personality so far seemed completely different!
"Don't let this whole dress get-up get to you hun, I'm not posh and fancy. In fact I'm pretty normal!" Ann said directly to me, I flushed red, was my mind really that easy to read?
I heard Len chuckle beside me, "Hi Prima, Sonika and Sweet Ann! I'm Len and this is Rin, it's nice to meet you!" When he said Rin he pointed at me, it created an even blush on my cheeks.
"Woah, Len and Rin? Like left and right? That's cool." Sonika said calmly, "Are you two related?"
"Related to Rin? That monster? Pssh no! If I was I would have killed myself by now!" He joked, two can play at that game.
"You can talk, Mr. Perfect." I smirked, he didn't even have to think before he responded.
"At least I don't obsess over my texts." Man, he's good.
The trio before us were laughing at mine and Len's comments about eachother.
"So..." Len stopped, "When do the auditions start?"
"Oh, they already have! We started off with the personality test: and both of you are adorable!" Sonika squealed which Len looked generally annoyed.
"A-Adorable?" He glared at Sonika, "You called me adorable?"
Sonika froze with a look of terror before rushing behind Ann and Prima, who both looked pretty scared too!
"I didn't hear her say anything Len." I said quickly in a monotone, "So, what do we do now?"
"You sing!" Ann laughed, "Go when your ready!"
Len looked at me with his face of sexiness, "Anything you want to sing, Rin?"
I blushed, we were close, "Erm...Romeo and Cinderella..." I muttered
"Ooh! I love that song!" Prima shouted
"Lets go for it!" Len was grinning at me again, but then I realized what 'Romeo and Cinderella' was about...Man, I'm screwed.
I knew I had to sing and a few seconds went by before I started, I wasn't really nervous, but I was happy.
(Rin, Len, Both)
"Don't let my love become like Juliet's tragedy,
Take me away from here,
That's the kind of feeling
Father and mother please go to sleep,
I wish you a good dream,
It's the time when adults should be sleeping
The enchanted caramel that'll make you choke,
Bound it with my embarrassing bare foot,
How far will we proceed tonight?
Don't bite me, treat me gently,
I don't like bitter things yet
Probably because I ate all those sweets that my mother made
If there are things, that we don't know,
We'll try to understand, isn't that normal?
"I'll let you see everything"
"Because it's you"
"So I'll let you see my..."
I've always wanted to be like Cinderella,
Running out with just the uniform
Magic, please stop the time,
If not, those bad people will come and interfere..."
"Stop!" Ann shouted, "That was awesome guys!"
I was in a daze, Len's voice was like that enchanted caramel mentioned in the song, without the choking part.
"Thank you Ann!" Len looked smirk-ish, "It's nice to hear that from a professional."
"Now, if you'll come over here..." Prima started
"You can give us your details and we can contact you if you get the spots!" Sonika finished with a grin.
"Okay." I said, Len grabbed 2 papers and handed one to me, I watched as he filled his out at lightning speed and passed it back to Sonika.
I then proceeded to fill in mine, it wasn't too long and I was done in a few minutes.
We thanked the trio for their time and walked out of the room, Len closing the door behind us, I almost thought I heard 'They'll defiantly get the part' from the other side of the wall.
Len said he'd walk me home, with his usual grin. We slowly strolled out of the building and I thought I could use more question time!
"Hey, Len..." I started,
"Yup?" He asked, still grinning
"Erm...do you know how your parents died?" I was curious, I knew it was personal, but he didn't have to tell me!
"I was told they died by murder a couple of years back, I can't remember it. Apparently I lost my memories when I saw their 'inside-out' bodies or something..." He said and I gasped.
"Rin, why are you crying? It's not your fault anyway! They died a couple of years back so it's just the past!" He was comforting me, he also pointed out I was crying.
"Sorry! I-It's just that I'm so sorry your parents were murdered!" I said
"Rin, it's okay. I've been through worse...I was kind of messed up after it happened..." He began, I knew this would be a story, "I got into fights with older people and somehow always won, I even punched my councillor."
"Wow." That was all I could say,
"I met Luka at one of my old schools, she was the school nurse back then. She was nursing to a boy I hit one time, I think she still wanted to be an interior designer back then! Gakupo was a science teacher, he always tried to help me, not like I tried." His whole past was beginning to show, "I'm sorry Rin, you probably think bad of me now..."
"No, not at all!" I replied immediately
"Luka and Gakupo got together and adopted me about a year ago, saying they knew I was a good kid. They said that a hobby is a good way to use my energy instead of hurting over people. I remember what my first response was, 'Fighting is my hobby'! Even then, they still believe in me and in the end I went for cross-country running!" He was grinning again and we turned the corner to my house.
"Wanna come in?" I asked, "My parents won't mind."
"You sure?" He asked, I nodded, "Okay! I'm in!"
I stuck my tongue out when I found my house keys in my bag and we walked inside.
