Kaito: By the way, if you have an idea for a better title for this story, please tell michanforever~ ^_^

Gakupo: Yes, because she just randomly came up with the current one and wants to change it. _

Michan: *smacks Gakupo* anyways, please enjoy!

Album One: Fleeting Moon Flower

Part One

"Are you sure that this is the right thing to do, Miku?" asked Kaito nervously.

"I'm skeptical, too," commented Gakupo beside him. "I mean, aren't we fine just working as a duo?"

"Well," said Miku, "you two working together as the Visual Kei group called Vana is certainly working well for the both of you. Your debut singles were all hits and all topped the charts. However, I, as you manager, think it best if you add one more member to your group."

"But why?" whined Gakupo. "Kaito and I are good on our own—"

"Yes, you're good," Miku interrupted, "but you could be great. Besides, I feel like your group needs a more feminine member anyway. This is a Visual Kei group, after all!" Her expression grew dreamy as she continued, "We can put the new member in adorable dresses, and he'll have a high-pitched voice that will match both of yours, and…"

Kaito groaned. "You just have a thing for feminine men, don't you?"

Miku blushed. "So what if I do? The point is, Vana will be holding auditions for the new member in a couple of days. I'll be posting notices for the auditions on our website. Did you know that you guys got more than half a million hits on your website yesterday alone? I'm proud."

Gakupo said quickly, "Well, since we're doing so well no our own, then we don't need to post about auditions—"

"However," Miku interrupted him again, "you could be getting millions of hits per day if you got a great new member. Understand?"

"Fine, fine, you win. I'll even post it myself, if it means you'll stop mentioning it to us every five minutes." Gakupo sighed, running a hand though his long purple hair. Ignoring Miku's squeal of delight, he turned to his partner. "What do you say?"

"I say, let's go for it! Why not? A new member could really help us, when you think about it."

Beaming at the duo, Miku said, "Wonderful! Well then, get to posting! I'll go call the local auditorium and see exactly what time they'll let us be there, they said we can use the place on Tuesday and Wednesday I know…"

Gakupo glared at her. "You already determined that we'd be having the auditions without consulting us? What if I had said no?"

"Yeah, well, Kaito and I would have gone without you to choose the new member," said Miku, not intimidated by Gakupo's stare.

Laughing, Kaito got out his laptop and, logging onto their website, placed it in Gakupo's lap. "Oh, just give up already. We've already agreed to do it."

Miku, who had taken out her cell phone and dialed the number for the auditorium, told them, "Oh, by the way, make sure that you say the auditions are only for boys with high voices and good ranges, and they must be able to play guitar and look good in dresses."

"Just you wait," grumbled Gakupo as he typed. "There will be girls there, disguised as guys."

The teal haired girl giggled and winked. "Oh, we'll be able to see right through their act. Don't you worry!"

"For some reason," Kaito whispered to Gakupo, "seeing Miku wink makes me worried."

Gakupo snorted. "Me too. We'll survive somehow…there! It's posted on our website. I wonder how long it will take for the fans to begin replying." His jaw then dropped, causing Miku to give him a confused look.

"Kaito, what's wrong with your partner?" she asked.

"…some of our fans replied already, saying that they're really excited and that they'll be there. I suppose we'll have an audience there to help us judge the potential members."

She smiled. "Wonderful!" Turning back to her phone, she said, "Yes, hello there, this is Hatsune Miku, manager of Vana. I'd like to confirm the times that we will be allowed to host auditions in your auditorium on Tuesday and Wednesday…okay then…that sounds great to me! We'll be there in time…good, thank you so much!" She hung up. "Okay, boys, we have to be there by ten o' clock AM on both days, and we'll finish up and leave by five o' clock PM on both days. No objections."

"I guess I have no say in the matter," said Gakupo sarcastically, adding the new information to his post.

"That's right, you don't," Miku replied, making Gakupo roll his eyes. "It's getting late, boys," she added. "Best get on home. Tomorrow's Monday, but I'll let you have the day off completely."

Kaito's face lit up. "Really?"

Miku nodded. "Yeah, do whatever you like tomorrow. It'll get you ready for Tuesday and Wednesday," she winked again.

"You really have to stop winking like that, it makes me anxious," Gakupo complained.

Giggling, Miku said goodnight and exited the studio, leaving the duo alone. Kaito yawned.

"She's right, it is getting late. Let's go home," he said. "You want to drive today?"

"Sure." Kaito tossed him the car keys and they left together.

In the car, Kaito asked, "Gakupo, do you remember how we started this band?"

"Weird question, but yes I do. Let's see…we were in college together, and we happened to be roommates, right?" At Kaito's nod, he went on. "Then we discovered that we both like to sing and play instruments; you play bass, and I play guitar. We began making songs together, and somehow Miku found us, picked us up, and made us famous. And now, here we are."

Kaito nodded sleepily. "It's a bit of a rags-to-riches kinda story, isn't it?"

"Not at all. Neither of us was poor."

"I suppose you're right. And Miku is a very good manager, getting us all those gigs and things like that."

"I guess so, but it would be nicer if she didn't just decide everything without telling us first."

"Still sulking over the new member thing?" asked Kaito with a knowing smile.

"I wasn't sulking!"

Kaito raised an eyebrow and gave him a look.

"Okay, maybe I was. But still—hey!" Gakupo brought the car to a screeching halt, honking his horn. "Get out of the road, idiot! Why are you running into it so recklessly anyway?"

Kaito gasped. Gakupo had managed to stop just in time to avoid running over a young blonde girl, who gave them a frightened look and continued on to the other side of the road. Just then, someone wearing dark clothing ran after her.

"Gakupo, we have to help that girl! She can't run much farther, not in those skirts. Come on!" He leaped out the car, giving chase. With a groan, Gakupo followed suit.

"I wish you'd think these things through, Kaito," he growled.

"What, I'm supposed to just sit there and pretend that an innocent girl wasn't just being chased by someone who could be a murderer?" Kaito growled right back.

Not bothering to reply, Gakupo caught up to the mysterious man and punched him from behind. The man stumbled and turned around, showing that he had a knife in his hand.

"Watch out!" Kaito swiftly kicked the knife out of his hand, where it landed in the bushes on the other side of the road. The man snarled and made to punch him, but Gakupo kicked him in the gut, making him double over. Seeing that he was dazed, Kaito then punched him one last time, knocking him out.

Breathing hard, Kaito asked, "Gakupo, are you okay?"

"Never better! It's been a while since I was in a real fight," he grinned.

Kaito rolled his eyes, and brought his attention to the girl, who was standing there, no longer shaking. In fact, she actually looked quite angry.

"Are you alright?" he asked kindly. "Don't worry, this guy won't be able to hurt you anymore."

"I had the situation perfectly under control, thank you very much," she muttered in a low voice.

"Excuse me," Gakupo said, "but running into the street just to get away from him wasn't exactly having everything under control. The least you can do is say thank you."

"Well then," she said icily, "thank you. Now please leave me alone." She turned and began to walk away from them without another word.

"Wait, can we help you get home? The streets can be quite dangerous at night."

"No, thank you," she called behind her shoulder. "I'll be able to take care of myself."

"…you're very welcome," grumbled Gakupo as he and Kaito headed back to their car. "What was that all about?"

Kaito shrugged. "No clue. Oh well, at least we were able to help, right?"

"Yeah, she was so grateful. What a cold girl!" Gakupo started up the car again. "I think I'd nickname her Ice Princess. What do you think?"

Kaito chuckled. "Ice Princess it is. But you have to admit, she was really pretty."

"She was. If only she was nicer." Gakupo sighed.

"Now let's get home, I'm tired." Kaito yawned again.

"Your wish is my command," smiled Gakupo.

A/N: hey there everybody! Thanks for reading this, and please review because I don't get very many. D:

Anyways! I've been wanting to do a Vocaloid fanfic like this for quite a while now. Here's the deal: Vana N'Ice is the Vocaloid Visual Kei style band, with members Gakupo, Kaito, and Len. Natsu-P makes the songs along with haku, as far as I know. No, not Yowane Haku xD

And here is how this series will work; I'll be writing this fic using the songs Setsugetsuka (aka Fleeting Moon Flower, or Transient Lunar Flower, however you like to say it), Imitation Black, and Fate: Rebirth, in that order. I may include other songs by natsu-P, we'll see :D

As for updating, I really don't have much of a schedule, because I never know when I'll have something to do that makes me unable to write D: so I'll say I update sporadically. Don't give up hope on this one, though, unlike Rolling Girl (which is on hiatus because I think it sucks).

I hope you enjoyed this~
