AN: Greetings readers. I give you the first, story about Ron Keine. Yay. I wasn't going to start posting this, but, after my Beta, and eventually Co-Author, Demon-Made-Nova-Jigoku, went over this, she's been rather insistent that I start posting it. And, since it looks like I may actually FINISH this one, I decide I shall.

This story was actually inspired by a couple of different songs, and PVs and even some art that I found floating around the net, when looking into this very wonderful Utau. As well as, well a bit of a Supernatural Binge. But you won't start seeing Much of that till a little later.

Anyway, I do hope you enjoy this story. As a lot of effort has been put into it so far. (and hopefully be finished soon.)

Doppelganger

Summery: What do you do, when you look into the mirror, and the reflection you see, isn't your own? He's not sure, because this is a problem, Ron never thought he'd have.

"You don't know me? I'm Kyoto Ron."

Chapter 1: That face I see

Ron threw on a white dress shirt, grumbling about having to get dressed up. He must preferred his normal attire to the whole suit and tie affair. But, the masters where insistent they all wear suits. After all, it wasn't every day an Utau was invited to a party hosted by a Vocaloid. Let alone one Hatsune Miku. Or, her master allow her to do so, anyway.

The man could be a pompous ass.

And no, he will not be taking that back.

The party was For Miku, for her what was it now? 400th hit at the top of the charts or something? … Okay Maybe he was over exaggerating that number. But still, it was suit and tie affair if you where male, a gown or dress if you where female. … or in Ritsu case, a dress anyway.

He started searching for the ONE tie he owned, trying to remember where he kept the stupid thing. He hated ties, they tended to be restraining as it was. It almost felt like you were being choked when they where properly placed if you where not used to them. To add, if you where not careful, some girl would grab it and choke you with it.

The Women around here tended to be very defensive, or short-tempered. Sometimes both.

Ah ha! Found it. He pulled out the long black necktie and threw it over his shoulder around his neck, before heading over to the mirror to see if he could remember how to TIE the stupid thing.

Honestly he probably wouldn't even be going if Miku hadn't come up to his door to hand him the invitation personally.

'Probably wanted to make sure her Utau guests actually got their invites.' He mused bitterly before stopping dead in his tracks, his past train of thought, forgotten. The ends of his tie fell carelessly from his hands as he starred unblinking at his reflection.

That was His, reflection right?

He couldn't help but think that most people would probably scream, panic, jump back, run away, but he couldn't tear his eyes away from the image.

There in the mirror, was a blond version of himself. But, his hair was black, so why was the reflection blond? That, also wasn't the only thing wrong. His shirt was white, the reflections was black. The tie slung over his shoulders was black, the reflections was white.

Ron stepped closer to the image, raising his right hand, and naturally, the mirror copied his movement as it should. Only the reflection was in the wrong colors. He touched the glass, his fingers lining up with the reflections as it should.

It was, Bazaar to say the least, and very, very strange. As he scanned the discolored reflection, he saw that it was him alright, same facial structure, same body shape, just inverted colors. Save one detail. The eyes. The eyes where the exact same color as his own. A rich shade of aquamarine. It was only then that he noted one other detail was out of place. His braid was slung over his right shoulder. So was his reflections. That is, if he had been facing in the same direction as his reflection. As he looked at it, his reflection had his braid over his Left shoulder.

As his eyes returned to the face of his reflection, he stepped back as it was twisted into a smile that said, 'So you've noticed have you?'

He, hadn't been smiling.

He blinked, and even felt his heart beat pick up. What the hell was this?

"Hey Ron!"

Ron turned his head to his doorway at the sound of his name being called.

Matsuda ppoiyo, his friend, stood in the doorway, looking fairly irritated.

"Will you stop looking at yourself like you've never seen your own reflection before? We're going to be late, we've got to go. The Masters are already outside waiting."

Now, Matsuda Poiyo, was short. While some people might call Ron short, as he was only 175cm, Poiyo, was only 167cm. To add insult to injury, his little sister, Matsuda Poine was 173cm.

Poiyo had short, light blue hair, with white streaks on either side of his face, and red eyes. At the moment, he wore a black tuxedo, with a white dress shit, but kept his trademark blue tie.

While he was looking at Ron rather annoyed, Ron was looking at him with a bit of disbelief.

"You, you didn't see-" Ron turned his head back to the mirror, only to see his own face, as it should be. Black hair, white shirt, aquamarine eyes. He blinked, now utterly confused.

"See what?" Poiyo said, seemingly even more annoyed.

Ron looked back at his friend a moment before looking back at the mirror. Nope, still normal.

Had he been imaging it?

"N-nothing, I guess."

"You guess?"

"No, it was nothing." If he saw nothing then there was nothing to tell. Besides, it would only make him look, crazy.

Poiyo merely grunted and strolled his way into the room and turned Ron around to face him and proceed to tie his necktie. Ron frowned at this.

"What? We Both know you would have come asking for help at some point. You can't tie these things properly for shit."

Ron grimaced, but admitted a silent defeat.

Poiyo pulled the tie up tight and proper and flipped Ron's shirt collar down properly. Slapping Ron's hand when he went to play with it.

"Nope, collar stays down looking proper. No playing with it. I don't care how irritating it is. It's thanks to you, that we all got invited to a classy shin dig."

Ron frowned more at the accusation.

"It's not like I Tried, to befriend her.."

"Now did I say that? No. But, you had to be the nice guy, and now she thinks your best buds. Apparently that means Fancy parties. Yay." Oh the enthusiasm in Poiyo's voice. In case you can't tell, it's actually sarcasm.

"Sure, so this is all my fault, and we're not "best buds."" Ron said grabbing the coat for his tux.

"Yes. Yes it is. And sure you're not. You had to be nice, and say, Yes I'll be in your little costume group. Then you had to be Nice and say, Sure, I'll teach you how to play the stupid Erhu."

"The Erhu, is NOT a stupid instrument. And you take one of her puppy dog faces dead on, and see how well YOU do."

Poiyo shut up. Honestly, he had only met Miku in person probably once, and that was to have her work with him for a song, and she sang the back up vocals. But, he didn't say much. He just wanted to get the recording done. But no one could deny she had a cute face. Such a thing could be a deadly weapon.

"Well played. But either way, it's thanks to you we're going to be late. Come on." He said giving his friend a small shove.

"I'm moving I'm moving." Ron said, turning to give one last glance at the mirror. Still looked normal.

"Come on Ron!"

"I'm coming!"

He decided to put it out of mind. It was probably just his imagination running wild on him. Once they got into the living room, Poine turned to them giving them an angry look. She was wearing a white Chinese styled dress that came down to her knees, with a light blue highlighting pattern. Her hair was in it's normal style, short sky blue, with a long lock hanging from her front bangs. The other half long enough that it was hiding half her face. The longer half, hung long enough that it was almost down to her waist.

"You know, normally it's the woman who makes the Men wait, Not the other way around." She said.

"Sorry, Ron suddenly had this fascination with the mirror in his room."

Ron's head snapped over to his friend, his face slightly tinged pink with embarrassment. He didn't have to tell her that.

"Hmm. Didn't know you could be such a girl Ron-kun."

"I am Not a girl!" He snapped. Yes, he was a bit sensitive on that subject.

"… Yeah okay what ever. The only good thing is we'll probably miss the big Thank you for Coming speech. Can we go now? I'm hungry."

"Yes Poine. We can get going. If you three are ready?" a new voice spoke up and the three looked up.

Ah, Matsuda the original, and of course her friend Keyl. The Masters.

"Yes Master(s)." Poiyo and Poine said master, Ron said the Plural. Both of these men had a hand in his creation. … oh the joy.

The trip was quiet and uneventful.

As expected, the party was already in full swing when they got there. There was quite the crowd. All 25 official Vocaloids, and probably just as many of the fanmades, if not MORE. … scratch that, there WERE more. Far as Utau went, not a lot made the cut he noticed. Just Most of the Vippaloids, and, their little group plus Dekofo and her family. He was honestly surprised Momo wasn't here… Then again that Utau was always busy with something…

"Ron-kun!"

He turned in time to get a tackle hug from everyone's favorite Diva.

"You made it!"

He looked down at her, all smiles and sunshine. As per usual. Today the teal haired diva was wearing a pink ball gown, the shoulders literally made of layer upon layer of lace. Over all he couldn't help but think it looked like a pink version of Bell's ball gown from Disney's version of Beauty and the Beast.

"Doesn't think your best buds huh?" Poiyo said with a laugh putting his hand on his friends shoulder.

Ron shot him a dirty look, but patted Miku on the head anyway.

"There were… complications. Did me miss your speech?"

Miku blinked, but then smiled.

"You missed Masters Speech. But it started to turn into one of those I'm better than you things, so I pushed him off the stage, and just told everyone to have some fun and thanks for coming." She said with a huge smile and an air of innocence like she had done absolutely nothing wrong.

"Heh, well I'm sorry I missed it. That I would have Paid to see." Ron said with a smile.

"I'll have to agree." Poiyo said joining in the conversation. "Too bad someone was having a mid life crisis." He added slinging his arm over Ron's shoulder.

Miku's eyes widened.

"What? What do you mean by that Mastu-kun? Did something bad happen to Ron-kun?"

"Ma, Matsu-kun?" How the heck did he get that nickname?

Ron sighed heavily.

"Why did you do that Poiyo? You know how literally she takes things. Cute Nickname by the way. You sure it's not you who's her "Best Bud?""

Poor Miku only looked even more confused.

Poiyo frowned at his friend. But in the end signed and shrugged.

"Fine, I'm sorry, happy?"

"Um, excuse me? Did, something happen?" Miku asked. Why where they keeping secrets? That wasn't very nice of them! It wasn't much fun either.

Ron shook his head.

"Naw. It's nothing Miku. Nothing happened to me, and everything is fine, alright?" he managed a gentle smile for her. Yes smile. That was practically a guaranteed way to get Miku off your back about anything.

Miku smiled.

"Good. I'm glad that everything is okay. You had me worried for a second."

"Speaking of worried, shouldn't you go over and see if you can get your brother to come out of that corner he seems to have locked himself into?" Ron said gesturing to one side of the room.

Miku turned and sure enough, her brother had isolated himself in a corner of the room. And seemed pretty content on staying there.

"Oh, thank you Ron-kun. I'll go do just that. Have a good time okay?" With that she walked off to pull her shy brother out onto the dance floor. How… what was the word? Oh yeah. Cute.

Ron looked over at the spot where the other Utau had grouped. His eyes scanned over the Vippaloid group in particular. They where all there, even the newest member Oniko Hinomoto. She was pretty, one would guess. Long really dark brown or black hair, dark colored eyes, and she was wearing a blue dress kimono. Oh, and she had 2 little horns poking up off her head. Well, she seemed nice enough. But then again he had only met her once before.

Rook was all dressed up in a tux with a little bow tie which he was fussing over, and Ruko had to smack his hand away and fix it. Judging from the annoyance on her face, not for the first time. She was wearing a blue oriental styled dress. Looks like they even dressed up Miko Ooka in a pretty little dress styled Kimono too. Teto was wearing something more simple. A light pink short sleeved dress, and it had a little bow hanging from the back. Ted was like Rook, wearing a tux. But Ted didn't seem to mind. He was used to wearing suits. Ritsu was standing there, looking bored as Hell. The boy was wearing a long royal blue ball gown, and long elbow length white gloves, and of course tons of jewelry. Oh wait, someone Was missing from that group.

"I wonder what they did with Tei?" Ron mused to his friend whom acknowledged his question with a light "hmm."

Tei, while SOMETIMES sweet, was notoriously violent. In fact, she was obsessed with Len, and was determined to kill Miku and take her diva status.

"Locked up in the basement back home."

Ron looked down.

"Oh, Hey Ritsu."

"Come dance with Ritsu-chan." The boy said taking hold of Ron's hand.

Oh…shit.

He Really didn't want to dance with the 6 year old cross dresser. Not that he had anything against Ritsu as a person. But this was awkward for numerous reasons.

"Ah, sorry Ritsu, but I'd rather not. I'm not really in the mood…"

Ritsu frowned at his response, and did what any 6 year old boy would probably do.

Ritsu stomped on Ron's foot. And considering Ritsu weighed 25 Tons… it hurt. A LOT.

"OOOOOW! Shhhhhhhh-" Ron clenched his teeth to keep from cursing.

Yeah, someone was doing the one legged hop right now.

"I Said Dance with Ritsu-chan!"

"Alright! Alright! I'll dance with you!" (As best as I can with one good foot now…)

Yay for using violence to get your way.

He let Ritsu pull him out onto the ballroom dance floor, and tried to ignore all the looks he was getting from some of the other dances. Especially the more smug ones.

The music was simple ballroom music. You know, music meant for dances like the waltz or box step. Ron admitted he was mildly concerned as he didn't have much practice with this form of dancing. He knew the steps, and it wasn't like he couldn't dance. He could, and well. But he just hadn't had much call for Ballroom dancing.

As the song progressed he had to admit that Ritsu proved to be rather well versed, actually making it easier. Though the cross dresser looked to be having about as much fun as he did. Come to think of it, did this kid Ever smile? Ron let his eyes wander the dance floor. At some point, the twins switched out, because now Len was dancing with Miku and Rin with Mikuo. Len and Miku looked perfectly content, quite happy in fact. Rin seemed to be having fun while Mikuo looked nervous as hell.

Big Al was dancing with Sweet Ann, and Mirriam had allowed Leon to drag her to the dance floor as well. Luka was dancing with Gakupo (of course) and it looked like Yuma had been picked up by Dekofo. Or had it been the other way around? They looked rather awkward to, as Yuma seemed to try to strike up some conversation, and the default child just kept that same strait face she always wore. Of course, that's only the couples he could see.

There was a tap on his shoulder.

He and Ritsu stopped and he looked and saw Teto behind smiling. Ted, was behind Ritsu.

"May we cut in?" Teto asked with a smile.

"Please do." Ron answered.

The Kasane siblings nodded at each other, and then walked off with their respected partners.

Ron looked down at his new dance partner. Okay, not as awkward here.

"Thanks for the save." He said.

"You looked like you needed it." Teto answered.

"That bad huh?" he said as he twirled her once.

"Yeah, that bad. Besides, I felt like I owed you a Little thanks for giving me my first complement." She flashed him a grin.

"Che, I still can't believe that is the first complement a guy has ever given you." Oh you could hear the humor in his voice.

"Why? Was it bad? I thought it was kinda sweet."

""You look cute when you're flustered," is sweet?" Ron asked raising a brow.

"Hey it works for me. Unlike this music. So SLOW and drab!"

"What do you expect? This whole party was formed by Miku's Master who even had the Engloids and their masters flown out to Be here so he could rub Miku's success in everyone's faces." Ron responded.

"True, but it's a good thing Miku won't let a party be thrown for her where she doesn't have a hand in it. Otherwise this place would be full of only 25 loids, and some stuck up snobs, and some semi Cool Masters." Teto with a sly grin as she suddenly took control of the dance step much to Ron's surprise. In fact, he almost tripped.

"Since when does the woman lead?" Ron asked.

"Since she suddenly decided she's on a mission."

"If you wanted to go to a specific location you could just Tell me."

"Oh please, It's not like I'm making you look any less manly."

Ron frowned. Not that again. He swore if she called him girly…

But no, she led them over to Miku.

"Hey Miku, can you do anything about this fancy smanshy ball room crap? See if the band can't play something a bit more, Up beat? I think it's time to get this party started."

Miku thought over this, she and Len never missing a beat in their dance step.

"You think we should?" Miku asked. "I mean, I'm sure they can, but-"

"Miku." Teto suddenly returned control of their dance steps to Ron. Fortunately, he was starting to catch on to the girls moves. "Look around. This floor is barley half full. The Masters are all just talking, and rolling their eyes as Blow hard Bob talks about what a success you are. This party is like, Dead. It needs some life. And this Room is stuffed FULL of singers and even a few songwriters. I think we've got vocals and improvising covered. This IS supposed to be YOUR party isn't? Well, is THIS the type of party you want?"

Miku looked at Len. Len looked at Miku and smiled.

"She's right." Len said.

Both gentlemen dipped both girls and they lined up perfectly.

"I'll talk to the band." Miku said with a smile.

"I knew I could count on you." Teto said with a grin.

"Smooth." Ron complimented.

"I hope you think so. First dance with you is mine."

"Why?"

"Because you learn fast."

The music then stopped.

Followed by a very long pause.

"They are taking longer than I thought." Teto mused. Miku then ran past them, grabbed Luka's hand and dragged her off, leaving a very puzzled Gakupo.

"Well, it's what, an orchestra band? What did you expect?"

The Violins then hit some Very familiar high long notes.

"No way…"

Rin and Len looked at each other, and smiled, and actually started singing first, hitting some more familiar notes.

Miku and Luka then started.

The song was Worlds End Dance Hall. Apparently, Orchestra edition.

The Masters smiled, while Crypton's master looked, utterly flabbergasted. Either way, the other masters Gladly left his company to pair off on the dance floor.

It was like someone had pushed a magical button. The Vocaloids all seemed to go to the dance floor, picked a partner, (Gakupo ran up and grabbed Luka who kept singing, not missing a beat. While Mikuo snagged his sister for this one.) Throats opened, and each one started to sing the familiar and popular tune. Granted this was only proving a certain masters point to a point, but this time it was on Their terms. Utau joined in by the second verse.

In an impressive combination of the ballroom dancing with a few more, unique moves, the floor seemed to move in unison. While each voice joined with the others in a well balanced harmony. Then, switch.

You where stuck with a new partner. It was all in pace and well timed.

Props to the band, they where Good.

And he had to admit he was having fun now.

By the time the song ended, he somehow ended up partnered with Ruko. The taller… woman, smiled at him.

"Not bad. But what else should one expect from of one Keyl's creations?"

His master was a songwriter. A good one. So it was only to be expected his Utauloid show as much talent.

"Thanks I guess."

"Can I have her back please?"

Ron turned, and Rook stood there with a grin on his face.

"She's all yours." Ron said gladly handing over the tall... woman. Yes, let's go with that.

"What the hell was that?"

All heads turned at the sound of the Crypton master yelling.

"I had this all planed to every single music piece played, and then you suddenly just change the plan? This is a high class party, not some club house show room!"

With some irony, he was yelling at the band over the girl who changed the plan. Hell if he could, he would probably find a way to blame one of the others over Miku.

"And YOU." The master turned to Ron's little group, which consisted of only Utau.

Ah, here is the blame. And of course the Utau are the scapegoats.

Ass.

"I'm not sure how But I'm willing to bet You are a good deal responsible for this!"

Miku by this point had had more than enough and was now marching her way up to her rude little master. But she was stopped by a young woman with dark pink hair.

"I've got this Miku-chan."

Internet Co.'s master.

"Oh don't go blaming them just because They know how to have a good time and you Don't. Did you not just see what happened? They all had a wonderful time and great talent. Not that you would know, as apparently you can't see what's right in front of your face you pompous old wind bag."

"You- Ft- Pompous Old Wind Bag?"

Oh the man was amusing when angry and flustered. His face turned red, and you could just see the veins popping on his head. It was well known that while the Vocaloids themselves got along, there was a heated rivalry between Internet Co. and Crypton's Masters. And Internet Co. knew Just how to push his buttons.

"You heard me right you old cod. That was a display of magic and harmony. The fact you couldn't see that is sad beyond all reason. Or, perhaps you DID and you saw that everyone here has about as much potential talent as little Miku, and that's why you're so upset. Oh really can you be so pompous? How do you even stay on the ground with your head filled with all that hot air?"

Oooh, nice one. In fact, the whole room seemed to think so. Crypton Master turned even redder.

"Well it's a Wonder you are able to get anything DONE at all with the way you coddle your own Vocaloids just to make up for you own biological lacking!"

Ron blinked. Biological lacking? What was that supposed to mean?

"You Bastard! That's going Too far!" Gakupo said whom readily charged at the man only to be stopped by a raise of his masters hand. Her other, placed on her stomach. Ron could see tears forming in the woman's eyes, but she still managed to keep her cool.

What ever it was, it seemed to be a big deal among them.

"It's alright Gakupo, I've got it. But thank you. You truly are a cold man to go that far. But shall we go down a list? Matryoshka, The Madness of the Duke of Venomania, GGRKS, Happy Synthesizer, Hina-Nige, hmm for not liking my Vocaloids you sure to use them an awful lot."

The crowd snickered a bit, and Cryptons master scowled further.

"And don't say because if you didn't I wouldn't, because we both know it's Far from true. I could name off several hits from my own Vocaloids but then I'd only be wasting more time. To the point, you can't just control them like puppets. This is a party For them anyway is it not? If not it's for Miku. SO how about this, Let HER have it, Her way. It's not like she's going to listen to you anyway."

The crowd voices their agreement and the man knew he had been beaten. Especially where Miku herself was standing behind Internet Co.'s master, agreeing with her.

The man grumbled and walked away, earning a round of applause.

It seemed bittersweet for the Master though, as Gakupo put his arms around her shoulders in a form of comport, in fact, all the Internet Co Vocaloids flocked around her now.

"Are you alright Master?" Gakupo asked gently.

"Yes, I'll be fine. I have all of you don't I?"

"Did he hurt you much? You're crying.." Ryuto said giving the woman's skirt a tug. She bent down and picked up the boy.

"No, he didn't hurt me. I'll be fine dear Ryuto. It will take more than a snake like tongue to get me down. You guys should go and enjoy the party."

"Not with out you." Lily insisted pulling on her creators arm, forcing her to set down Ryuto, as Cantarella started up.

Ron turned from the little conversation. Really it wasn't his place to poke his nose into that. He moved to leave the dance floor when a firm hand found it's way around his arm. He turned, and blinked.

"Poine?"

"Yep. You're dancing with me at least once tonight Keine."

Okay, he hadn't seen that one coming.

"Why?"

"Because you're my friend. Duh."

That was it? That was all her logic was based on? Oh well. It could be much much worse. Besides, she was right. She was his friend. He also had to admit to himself, she did look, pretty, in that dress.

Once more the floor seemed to part as "couples" joined into the center for singing and dancing the proper steps. Ron let Poine pull him into that. Besides, it wasn't like he didn't know the song. It was the first song Master had made him cover. They sang in harmony with those around them, and he made sure to watch her movements carefully so he wouldn't lose her among the 5 or 6 other couples in this mess. He noted her movements where fluid and flowed perfectly. He had to amid, he was enjoying this.

The song ended and as he pulled his dance partner to her feet, he couldn't help but notice, they some how ended up, in the dead center of the group. How did that happen?

He then gave his friend a small smile, before leaving the dance floor.

That was enough of that for now. Time for a little something to eat.

Disappointment. Not one meat bun on the whole table. Oh well. There where some dumplings. He picked up a stick and helped himself.

Poiyo walked up next to him.

"So, I don't think I should have to tell you to "Stay away from my sister" right?"

Ron blinked and looked at his long time friend.

"… what are you talking about man?"

Poiyo laughed lightly.

"Don't give me that. I saw how you where looking at her on the dance floor."

"Dude, you're seeing things." Ron said turning his head away and looking back at the food on the table. His eyes wandered until they stopped on a reflective bowl.

While slightly distorted, Ron couldn't help but widen his eyes as he noted a difference in his reflection.

Blond hair… He shook his head. Na. Probably just reflecting something else on the table. Like the bread or something.

"Perhaps, but perhaps not. She's my little sister man. You're my best friend and sure, that might give you a leg up, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let you date her or something either."

"Don't worry Poiyo I'm not going to start dating your sister. Since when did you get so protective?"

"Since we found out she can't hold a drop of alcohol when Meiko and Lily crashed your birthday party and spiked whatever they could get their hands on."

Ron grimaced at the memory.

Riiiight.

He woke up that morning with not only one hell of a hang over… but Lily also had some blackmail on him for LIFE. Let's say that much, and leave it at that.

"Oh yeah… you found her out side right?"

"In a tree."

Ron shook his head. Sometimes it was hard to tell which group was stranger.

The Utau or the Vocaloids.

"Taya-kun! You made it!" Miku could be heard chirping happily.

Ron and Poiyo looked over and watched the exchange take place.

Taya was one of those obscure Utau who could sound great in either Male or Female pitches, but was hard to get to sound clear, so was often left in the shadows. Not very tall, long blue or purple hair, yellow eyes, a monocle, and dressed like a butler. Even now. Nice guy though… at least… Ron was about 80% sure Taya was a guy. Poiyo says that Taya is a hermaphrodite, like Ruko. But no one really knows for sure on that.

Either way the little guy was apologizing for being so late. He seemed to be alone. Guess his master had something else to do. Humph. No surprise.

It was right around here when Ron felt something nail him in the back of his neck. He reached back, and felt something sticking to him. The substance was, soft and icky. He pulled his hand around. It looked like, some kind of Pie filling. He looked behind him, and Ritsu was standing there along with a few of the other kids. Each one feigning innocence.

Humph. Brats.

Ron decided to ignore them and turned back around, grabbing a napkin.

Splat.

His left eye twitched. Alright this Really was starting to get annoying. He heard something wiz through the air again, and this time, he ducked.

Splat.

Rook blinked.

Something had smacked him right in the face. He reached up and took some of the substance off with his fingers and tasted it.

Hmm, lemon pie filling.

Ron stood up and followed Rooks gaze. The children where laughing. Well it had hit the dog man right dead center of his face. So it was indeed amusing. He couldn't deny that. However, Ron moved to the left as Rook got a menacing look on his face. It was easy to read.

So they want to play huh?

Rook picked up a small bowl, and scooped some mashed potatoes into it. He then held the bowl aloft, and threw it.

The kids who had been paying attention, that being, Gachapoid and Nagaito, took off running. Ritsu, ended up with the bowl right on his head. The boys eye twitched and he turned his angry gaze over to Rook whom was howling with laughter.

He picked up the pie he and his little friend had been using for ammo, and threw it. Rook ducked, and the pie hit someone else on the side of the head.

That someone else was Teto. Who turned fire in her eyes.

"Alright Who Threw that?"

Ritsu pointed to Rook, Rook pointed to Ritsu. Though, considering Rook has his back to Teto it should have been obvious, Even to Teto.

It was. She walked over and picked up a whole bowl of salad, and threw it at the cross dresser who ran for his life. Unfortunately, Teto threw it with a lot of force, and it went not only over the table on the other side of the room, but it landed on her brother's head to boot.

At this point the Whole room was watching, and while Teto looked horrified at her mistake, everyone else was more or less laughing.

"Ah! Sorry Ted! I wasn't Aiming for you! I Swear!"

Ted calmly took the bowl off his head and put it down on the table. He then proceeded to pick a piece of lettuce off his head.

The room watched intently to see if he would take any action. He picked up 2 jello bowls.

"I see." He then threw both. One at Teto, the other at Ritsu. Teto screamed but laughed as she held up her arms and her gloves got stained with the blue jello. Ritsu, ended up taking another hit to his head.

"You Aim somewhat like that, Dear sister." Ted said with a grin on his face.

Ron blinked. You have Got to be kidding!

"You are So on My team!" Teto said laughing.

Rook Grinned.

Oh no…

"FOOD FIGHT!"

At the call, it was pretty much every man or woman, or loid, for himself. Ron ducked down immediately, as grabs where made for food, and dishes and plates started flying.

Now when Vocaloids and Utau start a food fight, there is no such thing as not participating. You become a target for ALL sides if you try to run away.

Like Bob.

The man tried to hide under a table right away.

Piko lifted the whole table immediately with great ease. Then it was like a shark feeding frenzy on the Crypton master. Miku ended said friends herself by walking up, planning a little kiss on his forehead, and slamming a whole pie on said location. She then skipped away to find either her brother or Len. At which point, it probably didn't matter.

Ron made a dive out of the way of what looked like a Turkey leg and scooped up what looked like it used to be potato salad, and threw it, hitting Leon right in the chest as he tried to throw something at the default child. She got hers off first with the little distraction.

"Ron!" he heard Poiyo call out. Ron moved his head just in time to avoid getting a mirror coated plate in his skull. It embedded itself in the wall right in front of his face.

"Hey! That could have killed him! Watch what you throw!" Someone scolded.

Ron heard it, but didn't register who. He was too transfixed on what was looking back at him.

The blond version of him...

Wasn't he, just imaging it?

His reflection smiled a cruel grin and Ron jumped back like he had been shot or something, colliding with Mikuo whom in turn, collided with his sister, and the three of them hit the ground.

Miku only laughed. Mikuo smiled.

"Are you alright Ron-kun?" the diva asked.

"Ah, y-yeah, I think so."

"Good." Splat. Some dessert was dumped right on his head curtsy of the diva's younger Irish twin brother. Yes you read that right.

"You're on our team now."

Ron didn't much of a chance to continue thinking on what was going on, or what he had seen. He ended up too busy trying to survive the food fight.

Then clean up afterwards. Everyone helped.

The tired Utau entered home later.

"If that's how they run a fancy party, I won't mind going to more." Poine said once they had gotten home.

"I guess. Save for, you know, the mess, and the fact that we probably just ruined the only tux I own." Poiyo said.

"I call the first shower." Poine said quickly.

"I call the second." Ron said immediately after.

The two looked at Poiyo's stunned expression. He would have to wait. The stunned look turned into a scowl.

"Right, I see how it is. Oh but not like Ron wouldn't use the second shower in this place anyway. It's adjoined to his room after all."

True enough. Their place was small, one floor. But had 2 bathrooms, a living room, 3 bed rooms, and of course, a kitchen. It was nice.

To be honest, Mastuda used to live here with the Utau, but found a new place and decided to let the Utau live on their own. The room was offered to Poine, but she said she didn't want to move out of her, cozy little room. Even if it did mean the added benefit of a personal bathroom. She also honestly didn't want to be bothered with the hassle of moving her things. So, Ron and Poiyo drew straws to see who would get the bedroom. Ron won. In his mind, his first stoke of luck in, well a while.

"Yeah what ever. If I finish before your sister, I'll be sure to let you use it." Ron said before diapering into his room.

He grabbed his PJs for the night and proceeded to get cleaned up in the bathroom. He still had Pie in his hair, and it was feeling, well aside from sticky, it was drying out and well it was gross. Still though, as he prepared to step into the shower, he glanced over to the mirror that was on the medicine cabinet.

Nope, nothing odd. It was himself. He stepped inside the shower, and spent a good few minutes trying to clean the pie filling and other things that managed to get into his hair alone.

Yeah, thanks a lot for that Hatsunes.

Splat, you're on our team now.

The joy… well, at least his team won.

Once he was finally clean he stepped out wrapping a towel around himself. He walked over to the sink and pulled out his toothbrush. As he glanced up at the mirror however, he suddenly jumped back, dropping the toothbrush. The face that looked back at him, though it was fogged over, the details, where not quite his own. The idle curiosity was long gone now at this point. Hell we have even gone past the point of annoyance. This sort of thing shouldn't even be happening! It had happened what, 3, or 4 times now? Just tonight? This, had to be some sort of joke… But even so how could it be done? His reflection tilted his head, and seemed to smile almost sympathetically.

Something else that his reflection shouldn't be doing. Move on it's own. Never starting too far from his current position, but still.

Alright, calm down. It's just a reflection, and nothing to worry about. Just get dressed, go to bed, and everything will be just fine come morning.

… Right?

AN: There you have it, Chapter one. Do you like? Let me give a brief description about some of the setting and masters.

First off, this is based in the RP verse my friends and I created. It made it a bit easier to work with that as a template for some background and character interaction.

Bob is Cryptons mean master. The RP verse kinda needed a bad guy, and he filled the roll. But somewhere out there is a nice master. But no one knows where he is, or why he left.

Ana: Ana was made to counter balance Bob. Also I felt the need for some female masters, as most I see depicted are male. She's his exact opposite.

Questions? Comments? Put them up. Any questions, I'll answer them as best I can.

Currently 6 or 7 chapters exist, so we're going to aim for once a week updates.
