This is my first vocaloid story, and I was in a hurry, so please don't be so hard when you relpy!

"Riku-chan, come on!" Rin said as she dragged me with her around the store. She guided me past the kid's section and to her own section.
I blushed the lightest shade of pink while putting on my best smile.
"Rin nee-san, why do you want me to get clothes?" I asked, looking up at her. She was short compared to the other vocaloids, but I was shorter.
Oh, I fogot, I should introduce myself! I'm the newest addition, Riku Cutisake. I'm younger than both Rin and Len, making me the youngest I guess. Sometimes I like it, but some times I don't.
"Beacause Miku nee-chan let us finally!" Rin squealed as she ran around, picking out a lot of stuff at a time.
"And it's because you're growing out of your clothes." Len awnsered, smiling at me. I turned my head away from him before he could see my face clearly.
"Yes, what Len said!" Rin said, coming into our view with a bunch of clothes. Knowing my Nee-san, half of the mountain was hers. She smiled when she dumped the moutain in Len's arms, grabbed one wrist, and started to lead me to the dressing rooms, her brother following."Come on, let's go try these on!"
"Y-Yes Rin nee-san." I nodded obediently. I stole a glance at Len, and he was staring at Nee-san with such adore.
I shrank back a bit and lowered my eyes, willing to put on whatever Rin wanted me to put on.
~~~~
Soon, I was out the dressing room door and so was Nee-san.
We were both wearing simaliar clothes. She had on a yellow skirt, white blouse, yellow jacket with a yellow scarf, her usual white ribbon tied in her hair.
I had a black skirt with a red shirt and black jacket, a small black choker on my neck. Rin managed to tie a small red ribbon into my hair the same style she did her's. It was fun, her fussing over what I was suppoused to wear.
Side by side, I looked like a smaller, long-haired version of Nee-san, which made me a little embarassed.
"So, how do we look?" Nee-san asked, modleing herself while she tired to do the same to me. I didn't want to though.
"You look great." After seeing how Len looked at her, that was enough to make me stand stiff.
My heart sank, the feeling of fun in my heart left.
He looked at me, as if there was something I wanted to say. But really, there was nothing that would come out of my mouth!
~~~~
It took a while before getting through all of the clothes and perchasing them. When we got home, Miku nee-san greeted us with warmth.
"Riku-chan! How was shopping?" She asked, hugging my head. Usually I would gladly hug her back, cling to her as if she were my mom. But, tonight I didn't. She looked down at me with worry. "Riku-chan? Are you okay?"
"Of course, Miku nee-san!" I said, putting on my best fake smile. I wanted to scream no, no I wasn't okay. I wanted to cry and say I was heart broken, but yet again I said nothing of the sort. "I'm not hungry. I'll be in my room singing if anyone needs me."
I pulled myself out of Miku nee-san's grasp and started to the stairs. Kaito and Meiko were now in the room, so everyone whitnessed what I looked like and said.
When I walked up the stairs, I heard;
"What's wrong with Riku-chan?" That was Meiko.
"I don't know. When we were at the shop, she was smiling and laughing." Rin nee-san sounded worried.
"She doesn't seem herself." Katio stated, his voice sounded very suspisious.
"I wish we could help." Miku nee-san sounded so hurt.
I'm sorry....
I took one stepp back down the stairs, ready to go back to my family and appoligize for worrying them. But my hand stopped when it touched the wooden railing.
"I wonder what made her mood change so quickly."
Len.... I felt water come to the brim of my eyes and spill over. I didn't realize I was crying until I heard myself sobbing. I snatched my hand away from the rail and clutched in into my other hand.
I turned the heel of my shoe and ran as fast as I could to my room at the far end of the hall.
I was careful not to slam it, so I wouldn't cause any atention.
My back against my white door, I slid to the floor. I continued to cry into my knee's, I don't know why I couldn't stop.
All I kept thinking was;
He won't ever look at me like that! Only at Rin nee-san! I sounded si childish, but I couldn't help it. Why only her? Why can't it be me too? Why should I even try to be like her? I know I can't be in the league she's in. I know that, but why do I still feel this way? Why do I cry? Why did I have such a fragile heart that can easily be broken?
Soon my tears lessened and I stood up, wipping my face with my large black sleeve. I went to my desk and turned on the lamp, picking up the notebook Rin gave me. It had both her and Len's songs in it, and I turned to the last page. I sat weakly on the my chair and started to sing.
Yoru no kono machi akari ga tomoru
Kishimu hagaruma ta sharin na oto
Hibi kasete aruita
Yuku ata mo naku
Umaku aruke nakute mo
Watashi wa nazi umareta no deshou
Naze shinzou wa gen no iro nano
By that time I couldn't sing anymnore.It was a sad song, I knew. Why did I sing it? I didn't know why. It was made for a doll, not a girl like mem, who was jealous of her nee-san.
I closed my eyes and slammed the book shut, also hearing a noise behind me.
I turned and saw Len, there, his hands behing his back and his eyes wide open. I also stared at him in shock. I fell off of my chair in disbelief. How long has he been there?!
"L-Len Onee-san! Wh-what are you doing here?" I asked, not able to move any thing part of my body except for my mouth.
"Why were you singing that song?" He asked, his voice hard. I flinched and finally got my head to look down.
"I-I'm sorry." I whispered, my shoulders slumping with shame. I didn't know he didn't want me to sing those songs. He might have just wanted it to be sung by himn and his twin only, I don't know. "I won't ever do it again. I'm sorry."
I half expected him to leave, but instead of hearing the door open, I hear footesteps coming twoards me. I looked up just in time to see his face so close to mine and he rwrapped his arms around me in a hug. I looked over his shoulder, surprised.
How come he was hugging me? I felt a hand come up and pet my hair. I had only let Miku and Rin nee-san touch my hair, never once did he ever do that.
"What happened?" He asked, in a hushed tone. "WHy are you so down?"
I felt my heart lurch again. I didn't notice I was crying until his shoulder was wet. I forced my hands up and hugged him back, clutching onto him like he was my life saver.
"Why?" I sobbed. "Why do you look at her like that? Like she si the only thing that matters to you, ever? I know I shouldn't care....I know, but I can't...."
"Shhh, it's okay." Len said, still holding me and lightly brushing my hair. "I'm sorry. I honestly do love Rin, but not the way you think."
I didn't say anything, I just continued to cry my heart out again. He continued, whispering. "You shouldn't cry, it's so unlike you. I miss the outgoing you."
"R-really?" I asked, trying to force back my tears.
He pulled me away for a second, wipping away the tears ith his sleeve. Then he kissed my forehead, whispering against my skin, "I love you, Riku-chan....."
