Title: Muted
Summary: It's been three years since that accident changed her whole life. Lost her voice and ran away. Now in a cruel twist of fate, Kagamine Rin will meet the people she has been avoiding again, who don't know it's her, what will she do?

Author's Note: I decided to actually re-write this story's first chapters due to the lack of detail seeing that after the last chapter I couldn't even remember what I was going to do this past months and that what I had now was taking me nowhere; I thought that I would have to forget about it. But my final decision was to re-write it and see if it came out better.

Now Rin and the other were supposed to be older but now since 14 is High School-like I will only raise their age a little like this:

Rin, Momo, Defoko, Len: 17
Teto, Ted and Haku: 19
Meiko, Kaito, Luka, Gakupo: 23
Tei, Miku, Dell and other Vocaloids: 20
Yuki: 11

That way, it will be like Rin is finishing her last year of High School, which as you read, you will learn is necessary. So hope you enjoy. :)

Disclaimer: I do not and will not claim to own Vocaloid ever. I am just borrowing Nico Nico's character in order to make this story.

Claimer: The plot of this story does belong to me. Any OC you see also, though I doubt I will be using any. Although I doubt it will have any.

-Chapter 1.-
Kagami Nerin

~Flashback.~

It was raining that night which was, in a way, almost funny. She always looked forward to the rain; the plit-pattering it made was usually soothing and created a rhythm she usually used in her later songs or when she had a writer's block. It also served as a lullaby along with her brother's singing when she was just too scared to go to sleep from the thunders outside.

Not this time, having just ran from her house all the way to this station in the pouring rain, it just helped to disguise the hot tears that were rolling down her cheeks from prying eyes and curious passerby people. Her clothes were soaking wet along with her socks; even the inside of her shoes! Her short blonde hair was a tangled mess that was dripping water and stuck to her face until she brushed it away when it started to bother her vision.

In her left hand, however, a headset was dry and safe except for the tight grip the girl had on it, turning her knuckles white from the lack of blood flow. It was purely white with orange lining on the sides and on top of it a worn ribbon that was no longer a shiny white, as it had been the first time she got it, was tied in a way that it looked like bunny ears.

As she waited for her bus to approach she thought about everything, things happened so fast it was almost like she was dreaming, or more like having a nightmare. Running away was so cliche in her opinion but right now she felt like any girl would in a drama filled world. Like she needed to just get away but it's not like she had a choice. But she wasn't going to dwell on those details. For now.

The large bus she would take soon suddenly started approaching and silently she bowed her head trying to whisper her goodbyes to everyone she loved but no sound came out of her mouth as she did so her lips moving looked as if they were trembling. It was a sudden realization that this was real and that it was indeed happening to her and she wasn't curled up on the couch, with a cup of orange juice, watching a drama. Once she realized this she took a look at the other people around who were also taking that late bus and saw only a few that seemed to give her a weird look.

But that wasn't the point right now was it?

She looked away from the bus, when the others were handing their tickets to be able to get on, and looked at the path were she had came from one last time. The path of where she became somebody, the path where she felt love and what it was like to have a family. A real family that didn't need blood relation. She looked at it until it was her turn to hand her ticket.

Over them the storm had cleared up more letting the moonlight shine down on the bus and on the girl who looked up before entering the bus. Her baby blue eyes were shining with unshed tears again as she thought to herself. 'Goodbye, Len...'

The bus started to move after a few minutes and the girl while looking out one of the windows looked on everything that she was throwing away. The name kind of mocked her as it shined in different places as signs, banners and on the big television on one of the buildings, until she closed her eyes slowly.

From this day on she wasn't going to be the orange loving freak, the incest twin, the yellow devil. She would no longer be Kagamine Rin, singing idol, with the bright smile that was only second to her beautiful shining blue eyes. Or so they once told her.

Not anymore.

Goodbye, Rin.

She was not a morning person. That was obvious.

She had woken up with a start at the calls coming from her roommate, which eventually turned into shouts, and actually placed the pillow over her head and tried to fall back asleep but no, her damned system was built so that once she woke up she would lose whatever trace of sleep she once had. It sucked, a lot.

With a frustrated sigh the girl sat up and rubbed the blur out of her eyes and then stretched out while kicking away her covers, which were actually pink in color; orange's with smily faces printed on then(1), and welcomed the Monday morning with her usual sour look only thinking of one thing that could actually make her wake up at, in her opinion, the unholy hours of the day.

School.

The first thing she did was get up and walk to her bathroom and to the sink where she would wash away the last traces of sleep, and the drool that probably would be on her face which she refused to acknowledge (There is no way she drooled), then looked at herself in the mirror.

-Rin.-

I guess most of you are probably wondering who I am, right? Well, first of all, I'm Kagami Nerin; seventeen years old, in High school and a totally normal girl.

But isn't that what we always hear in cliche like stories before the 'normal girl' tells you a big secret? Well I like those kind of things (It's my little secret.) But first I need to get ready for school.

I started to brush my long sunny colored hair, that used to be cut short but was now flowing and reaching the middle of my back, quickly and I applied a little bit of mascara to my sky blue eyes (I don't need more than that, why put ten pounds of make up on?) before brushing my teeth.

After that I walked away from the bathroom to change into my school uniform. The school was so boring that the uniform was a plain black skirt that reached mid thigh with a black blazer with a red colored bow on the front. Or when it was hot the uniform was actually the skirt with a short sleeves shirt and a red vest. You could wear either sneakers or shoes and a different colored bow as long as the rest of the clothes were right. I chose a yellow ribbon. (What? I like the color)

Smoothing down my skirt, I walked from the bedroom towards the kitchen. I lived in a three person apartment with two of my new friends. It was simple enough, the biggest room being where we all slept on all three beds and a closet big enough for the three. Beside it was the bathroom and then was the kitchen, then finally the living room which only had a couch, a TV and a computer desktop with a laptop. Simple.

I was greeted with the super mega watt smile that my roommate Momo Momone always wore once I stepped inside the kitchen. I always wondered if she was on happy pills every day. It was super freaky.

Momo is seventeen like me and has long, almost as long as mine, hair that is a pretty cherry blossom pink under a green poofy beret which she almost never took off. She was wearing the same school uniform except it had a green bow on it. She loved green. She also worked at a part time maid cafe where she wore a green and white maid outfit.

She, right now, was placing a plate of waffles at the table which I devoured and you could taste her food then you wouldn't blame me for attacking them like a lion to a zebra. (Oh.. Mental image.)

"Kagami." the bubbly girl sang. "Good morning, it's about time you woke up."

-Normal.-

Kagami raised an eyebrow at Momo's tone and just chewed on her waffles not answering but it seemed Momo wasn't expecting one. She kept babbling on and on about how today would be, for her, and that it was such a beautiful day.

"Before I forget, Defoko-chan picked up a new notebook for you yesterday and it's in your bag. She went out to the store right now for more juice."

The fork made a loud 'clink.' on the plate. It has slipped out of Kagami's hand in shock before the sunny blonde glared at Momo fiercely making the rose haired girl think that if this was an anime she would have shrunked and cowered in fear.

"I know, I know, it's your favorite drink. That doesn't mean it won't ever run out!" The girl tried to defend herself.

Honestly, Kagami had orange juice flowing in her veins instead of blood. She heard of having a daily dose of Vitamin C but this was just silly.

With a huff, Kagami just turned back to the food in front of her and continued to eat in silence while Momo started up on another plate of food just for their other roommate who was just walking in through the front door wearing a coat over her school uniform. The weather had already begun to get colder and colder each day as winter approached on or near October.

The girl who walked in had shoulder length purple hair that resembled a fresh eggplant in color. Her skin was fair and pale, with a slight blush on her cheeks from the cold air that hit it but was returning to normal now that she was in a warmer place. She wore the same outfit as Kagami and Momo except the tie that was supposed to be red was the same color as her hair and the expression on her face was unreadable.

"Hey, Defoko-chan!" Momo called out, sending one of her mega-watt smiles at the emotionless girl who just returned it with a wave of her left hand because her right hand was busy carrying the groceries she just bought along with Kagami's orange juice.

Uta Utane was the name of the girl but she had grown accustomed to people calling her Defoko, which once had been an insult coming from bullying older kids when she was in kindergarten because of the meaning and her family background. Being an unwanted child and bullied caused her to meet Momo who among her kindergarten peers was looked up to because of her cheery demeanor and bright personality. The two supervising actually clicked better than anyone would have imagined and became best friends making the kids stop bullying her.

Defoko took off her coat and hanged it on the back of her chair before sitting down and placing a school newspaper on the table with a grim expression. "Have you seen this? It's been on the Newspaper for about a week now. Front page too."

Momo looked away from her cooking and Kagami stopped serving the orange juice looking like she wanted to say something so Defoko took out a notepad from her bag and pen before handing it to her.

"The whole week? It must be something big, kinda weird that I missed it. But since when did you even care about school news, Defoko?" Momo mused out loud.

Kagami grabbed the paper and began to read, curiosity winning her over a bit.

Front Page of Kimei High School.

Celebrity Students!
After a brief announcement from our school principal, it seems we will be having new students in our school that are part of one of the biggest celebrity groups! How exciting! But will this be an error in our school? Many celebrities have been shown to cause problems in many schools. Will this be any different?

Right now...

Kagami placed the paper down the moment she read the headline, not interested in the rest of the article.

"I don't. I just found it a little amusing to see the uproar many are making over this." Defoko clarified.

[It's probably just another airhead group of people only interested in the popularity it will bring rather than to actually study.] Kagami finally wrote on the notepad.

"Figures," Momo finally sat down to eat her own breakfast and setting Defoko's down on the table at the same time. "They probably will meet the criteria of our queen wasp."

Kagami grimaced and stabbed a piece of bacon with her fork a little harder than necessary. The queen wasp, or spider queen, pitch queen, whatever you want to call her, was actually a girl named Tei Sukone. She made it her job to terrorize the whole school. She was not that pretty, actually she was plain out weird. Her hair was gray, like recently burned ashes that feel past her shoulders. Her eyes were the color of blood and were not friendly at all. She was a real freak but somehow got the male population on her grasp and the teachers all thought she was some kind of saint. It was disgusting, and what actually made Kagami rage a little was that she was in love with the celebrity Len Kagamine and whoever said that they loved him were to be bullied and tortured.

But the actual problem was..

Remember that Kagami had a secret that she would tell you all? One of the reasons that Kagami was bullied was not because she liked Len,

But because she resembled the one person that got in between Tei and 'her Len.'.

Rin Kagamine. The twin sister of Len and, to those who didn't know, the love of his life.

Five years ago the news had been on a frenzy the moment they even caught a whiff of what happened, the media worked fast and were quick to assume she was actually kicked out' something about her and Len having a sibling spat and thus they removed the less popular of the two.

'Less popular, my butt.' The blonde thought, fixing her skirt. 'I was just as good as Len and we both knew it. Master doesn't compare.'

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Gamin was actually Rin Kagamine, the very one who disappeared a whole 5 years ago. But pretty sure you saw that one coming. Anyways..

Momo finally took off her apron. Hanging it so she wouldn't lose it nor leave a mess, skipped to our bedroom and took 5 minutes to come back out in her uniform, her beret in place. And ran out the door with a loud call of 'Let's go!"

Both Defoko and Kagami were just dropping our dirty plates in the sink while she did so, they would almost feel the anime like sweatshop in the back of their heads before chuckling.

"Let's go." Defoko finally said. Walking past the blonde with both her backpack and Mom's bag, which she had forgotten in her random bout of strange.

Smiling, Kagami walked out after them and shut the door with a soft bang, once the purple haired girl was out of sight she finally sighed and thought. 'School.. Great.
