While searching for Vocaloid videos, I discovered Luka's "The Tailor Shop on Enbizaka" (if you haven't seen it yet, watch it now before you read this!) The story intrigued me, and the ending was just...wow, did not expect that! So, I had this crazy idea of "How would this story look like more fleshed out, in an actual story format?" and thus, this fanfiction was born. Note, I am aware that this is part of the "Story of Evil" PV series by the guy who composed/wrote these songs and I believe there are actual stories written for them? Anyway, many of them can be stand-alone so this is just my take on them. This fanfiction will look at the same story from different angles.

This first chapter focuses on Luka's perspective, and basically is a fleshed out version of the story. This is my first time writing a Vocaloid fanfiction, so...here goes nothing...

Disclaimer; I do own VOCALOID or the song this story is based on, I am just a fan! (this will only appear once).

Three Affairs

In the peaceful town of Enbizaka, there was a woman who owned a tailor shop named Luka. She was a gorgeous woman, with light blue eyes and flowing pink hair. She owned a pair of scissors that her mother used to use before her. Luka never forgot her words about keeping maintenance on it. "The more you sharpen it, the better it cuts".

She had a high admiration for a blue haired man by the name of Kaito. She would always see him pass by her shop every so often. Later, she realized she loved the man and that he was going to be hers. They would be together, so she wished hard for it until finally...she became his wife.

"I never thought you'd finally notice me..." she said, slightly giggling.

"How can I not notice you?" he said to her, pulling her close. "You're the one and only tailor in this town, and might I add, the best."

Luka always worked hard on her projects. She sewed beautiful kimono, and could modify and mend anything.

"Kaito is lucky to have me," she said to herself, mending a tear. "He can keep his clothes longer because I can mend the holes he makes. Yes, there's no way I'll allow him to wear his clothes down to threads! Hehe~"

However, as days passed, she noticed Kaito wasn't coming home to her. She waited for hours, even until the shop closed. There was no sign of him. She often thought to herself, "Why doesn't he return when he has me to come home to?"

The next day she found out why...

While out at the market place, she saw Kaito in the distance, speaking with a rather beautiful woman. She had ruby eyes and short brown hair, and she wore a lovely red kimono. Luka noticed that they seemed to be rather friendly toward each other. She observed as they made simple conversation.

"Meiko, I thought you'd be out shopping." Kaito said, slightly smiling.

The woman, who apparently was Meiko, responded. "I already got that out of the way. I was waiting for you. Shouldn't you have been home already?"

"Not yet. I thought I'd enjoy the rest of the day. I really don't feel like coming home yet..."

"Awww, well...I guess I can see why." she laughed a bit and they embraced.

Luka was so disgusted by the sight that she walked away, returning to the shop. She could feel her heart slightly breaking. "Kaito's having an affair on me," she said to herself. "But why? Is there something he wants he can't find in me?"

That night she pondered on it. There was something that Meiko had she didn't that was grabbing his attention. "Of course! Her kimono!" she exclaimed. "If I had that, he would finally come home to me."

So Luka got to work in creating a replica of the red kimono. She worked all night with tears running down her cheek. "It's all worth it for Kaito," she kept telling herself.

The next morning, when Luka was out and about, the town was talking. There had been a murder last night. People were feeling a bit uneasy; things like this NEVER happen in Enbizaka. In the distance, she could see Kaito on the bridge, who seemed to be grieving over something. And with him, another girl, with long teal hair put up in pig tails.

"It'll be alright..." the girl told Kaito.

He took her hand and then pulled her in for a hug. "I know, Miku, but still..."

"Why does he not seek comfort from me?" Luka said to herself, walking back to the shop. "I'm always there for him. And yet, he doesn't even come home to me."

She thought about the girl, whom Kaito referred to as Miku. What stood out to her was the beautiful green sash tied around her kimono. "Oh, so if I wrap that around my red kimono, he will come back to me for sure!"

That night, with swollen eyes, Luka worked hard on creating the green sash that she had seen Miku wearing that day. It was difficult work, but Luka didn't mind the effort. "It's all worth it for Kaito," she kept saying to herself.

The next morning arrived, and the town was talking again. Another murder had occured last night. After purchasing more materials for her shop, she happened to pass by the hairpin place. Luka was feeling furious at this point, for what she saw was Kaito and a young girl with blond hair, much too young for him. Why, she was young enough to be his daughter! Come to think of it, Miku was rather young, too. "You sure don't discriminate," she muttered to herself. "What is it about this particular one now that arouses you?"

Kaito came out of the shop with a lovely yellow hairpin and placed it in the girl's hair. She smiled and giggled with sheer joy. "Oh, thank you so much!" she said. "But wasn't it expensive?"

"Don't worry about it, Rin." Kaito told her. "I just wanted to see you smile again."

"You should smile, too!" the girl, apparently Rin, replied. She jumped up and wrapped her arms around him and the two of them laughed.

"I guess it'll just be you and me from now on."

Luka was feeling restless by now. "He never bought anything for me like that," she said to herself. "Well, if he isn't going to come home to me, I'll just have to come to him."

And thus, another long night in creating the yellow hairpin. She was sleepy and filled with emotion, but once again, she kept repeating to herself; "It's all worth it for Kaito..."

She then noticed her scissors were stained. "Hm, that's odd." she said, looking at it. "Were they always this color?"

Ignoring it, she continued, until finally...her work was done. Red kimono, green sash, yellow hairpin...

"Oh, Kaito..." she said, looking into a mirror. "I have now become the girl of your dreams! Aren't I beautiful?"

When she arose that morning, she knew it was time that she goes to him instead of waiting for him to come to her. She dressed up in the red kimono, wrapped around the green sash, and placed the yellow hairpin in her hair.

As she stepped outside the shop, the town was frantic. A third murder had occured. The authorities knew that they had a serial killer on their hands. Luka put her hand to her chest. "That sounds awful! I better be more careful from now on..."

Finally, she saw Kaito, coming her way towards the shop. He wore no smile upon his face, but a thoughtful, saddening look. He held a handful of clothing that needed to be mended. Luka's heart began pounding. "He's...he's coming to the shop!" she lightly exclaimed to herself, putting her hands over her mouth. "Oh my, he's finally coming home to me!"

She waited for Kaito inside the shop. When he entered, Luka approached him.

"I see you need mending done!" Luka said with a smile.

"Yes. I've been putting it off way too long..." Kaito replied.

"Well, as you know, I can fix them." she snatched the clothes and pulled out her needle and thread. "You know you can always come to me for this."

She sat on the floor and instantly started. Her heart was joyful. He was home with her. He came back. However, he didn't say anything else to her.

"Why are you so quiet?" she asked, looking up at him. "Have the recent murders made you feel uneasy?"

Kaito tensed up, clenching his fist and seething. He seemed more than just uneasy about it, but downright torn.

She dropped her needle and thread and tried to comfort him. "Oh Kaito, what's wrong?"

He seemed a little surprised and looked at her. "Kaito?"

"That's your name, silly! Or have you forgotten?" Luka teased.

A slight smile splayed across his face. "No, I haven't. That is my name."

"Of course it is! And a very attractive name at that."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. What is your name?"

Luka froze. "W-What...?"

"Hm? Heh, have you forgotten your name?" Kaito said teasingly.

"But Kaito..." she began, with an aching heart. "You already know my name."

"I'm sorry. What?"

Kaito seemed confused about the whole matter. Luka lowered her head, with tears falling down. "How...how could you forget my name? It's Luka, remember? Luka!"

"Oh, Luka. Have we met before? I don't recall ever coming to this shop. Maybe it was so long ago, it must of slipped my mind..."

Her eyes widened and were shaking. Come to think of it, he hasn't returned home in days. Were just mere days and a string of 3 girls enough to erase Luka from his memory?

She backed up slowly and lifted her head. "How could you? I am your dear, beloved wife! You've always had me to come home to, yet you always went off with those other women!"

Kaito took some steps back himself. "Uhh...pardon?"

"I even worked hard into becoming the girl of your dreams!" she clenched her precious scissors in hand. "I worked night after night, just to be like the girls I saw you with! What more do you want from me? What can I do to make you come home?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Luka, but I really have no idea what you're-"

She got up in his face, completely heartbroken and frantic. "My efforts of the red kimono, green sash, and yellow hairpin weren't enough?"

"Seriously, ma'am, I have no idea what you're-"

Kaito hesitated and his eyes widened in shock. The red kimono, the green sash, the yellow hairpin...

His expression went from confused to completely horrified. "Meiko's kimono...Miku's sash...the hairpin I bought for Rin..." he completely backed up against the shoji, eyes shaking in fear. "How did you procure all of that?"

Luka held up her scissors, stained with red, with a fire burning in her eyes. "I told you, I worked tirelessly, night after night, to become the girl of dreams..."

Enbizaka was completely chaotic. Last night, another murder occured. For the past three days, they had all been women, who seemed to get younger each time. But this time a man had been murdered.

"Kaito was acting so strange last night..." Luka said to herself as she worked. "He talked to me as if I was a stranger! With that talk of 'what is your name?' and 'a pleasure to meet you'."

A family of four had been killed within the span of only four days...

"That Meiko, with the red kimono. What did he see in her?"

"Shouldn't you have been home by now?" Meiko asked.

"Not yet. I thought I'd enjoy the rest of the day. I really don't feel like returning home right now..." Kaito replied.

"Awww, well...I understand." they wrapped each other in an embrace. "It is a nice day, but admittedly, it worries me a little. It makes me wonder if my husband does not want to return home to me."

"You never have to worry about that. Even if I don't come home, we'll always find each other."

"That Miku, with the green sash. What did he see in her?"

"It'll be alright..." Miku said.

"I know, Miku, but still..." Kaito replied.

The two embraced a hug. "I miss Mom, too."

"That Rin, with the yellow hairpin. What did he see in her?"

"But wasn't it expensive?" Rin said, looking up at him.

"Don't worry about it. I just wanted to see you smile again." Kaito replied.

"You need to smile, too!" she jumped up and hugged him. "Rin doesn't like to see Daddy sad!"

"I guess it'll be just you and me from now on. I'm sorry, Rin..."

"It's not your fault that somebody took Mommy and Big Sister!"

"Still, I wish I could of protected them..."

"Kaito, why were you acting as if I was a stranger?"

"Meiko's kimono...Miku's sash...the hairpin I bought for Rin..." he completely backed up against the shoji, eyes shaking in fear. "How did you procure all of that?"

Luka held up her scissors, stained with red, with a fire burning in her eyes. "I told you, I worked tirelessly, night after night, to become the girl of your dreams..."

"You...you're the one who killed my family?!"

Kaito's emotions switched from mortified and devastated, to angry and vengeful, yet he remained frozen in shock. The scissors which were painted red...it was blood! The blood of his wife and two daughters!

"It seems a family of four has been killed, huh?" She grasped the cold hand of a male corsp laid beside her. "But I mustn't worry about that now, I need to continue my work!"
