Chapter 1

Merry meet

Hello, my name is Miku Hatsune. Ever since I was a little kid I was able to sing just like a movie star on T.V. So this year as I start my first year in High school, I'm going to Saezuru Academy, a Private school for all students that are gifted with the ability to sing. It's an exciting experience and I'm extremely excited to see what the school has to offer.

When I arrived at the academy, my mother dropped me off and waved good bye. At that point I was on my own. So I lugged my things up to the sign in desk and signed in.

"Welcome to Sesuru Academy, Miku. Here's your schedule and your room assignments. You'll be staying in room number 8 with…" she flipped a page on a clip board. "Luka Megurine."

"Thank you very much." I lugged my bags away from the desk then took at the map. Apparently, my Dorm house is on the far side of campus. How am I gonna get my stuff there? I groaned.

"Let me help you" someone said. I turned to find a guy with blue hair holding a suitcase.

"Uh sure. Thank you." I lifted my second bag. He picked up the other one.

"Where are you heading?" He asked then gave me a smile.

I looked at my room assignment paper. "The Kyousei house"

"It just so happens I live in that house."

"Wow, then we'll be seeing a lot of each other." I smiled.

"Not if I can help it" he began to head towards the Kyousei house.

"Hey! What's that's supposed to mean?" he was getting further away. I grabbed my bag and chased after him. "Wait up!"

"What's your name pig tails?"

"Miku Hatsune. And yours…blue hair."

"Blue hair is the best you can come up with" he laughed. "I'm Kaito Shion"

"Nice to meet you."

"I'd say the same but it's not so nice."

"Eh?"

"Relax, I'm just messing with you." He laughed.

"Well I don't find your jokes funny."

"Is that right?"

"It is right!"

"Hm and I thought you'd have a sense of humor."

"I have a sense of humor!" I glared at him.

"Of course you do. You'd have to since your making a face like that."

"That's so mean!" I dropped my bag and continually punched him in the arm

"Kidding! Kidding! Relax!" he laughed.

"It's not funny!" I complained as I picked up my bag. "And I don't enjoy your comedy act." I continued on. Kaito laughed as he followed me.

"So you're a First year?"

"Yeah and you Mr. Comedian." I stuck my tongue out at him.

He laughed. "I'm a Third year."

"Well I only have to deal with you one more year before I'm done with you."

"Now who's not nice?"

"Kidding of course"

"There's that sense of humor."

"I'm not here to humor you."

"No I'm pretty sure you are."

"You wish."

"Every night."

"Ha ha so funny"

He laughed. "I know it is. You could at least smile." I smiled for a second then went back to glaring at him. "Thank you."

"Is that it?" I asked pointing at a big black house then quickly grabbing my bag again before it fell from my hand.

He chuckled. "Yeah. Just don't bother Haku; she's in one of her moods again."

"Who's that?"

"She's our dorm President."

"Well if she get's into crazy moods, then why is she the President."

"She's the oldest student in our Dorm beside's Dell and he won't run against Haku. He's such a pansy when he comes to her."

"Are they dating?"

"Yeah, he just doesn't want Haku to smash a bottle over his head again. She does things like that sometimes." Kaito laughed. "That woman's a riot."

"You're a pervert aren't you?"

"I'm not a pervert" he objected.

"I'm pretty sure you are."

"I'm not, seriously."

"No I don't think so."

"Here we are." Kaito and I stood in front of a big haunted mansion looking house. "It's the eldest building here and they don't take care of it well. We've been asking for the school to fix it up but they say all the money's going to the remodeling of the Tensei house. All the snotty kids live there."

"That's too bad, with a little fixing up, this house could be gorgeous. It just looks so run down."

"Well, we take what we get. Oh and don't step no the third step on the right stair case, it's broken and it caves in usually. Haku broke it when she was on one of her violent rampages. She was after Lily that time."

"Quit talking about people I don't know and let me meet them." I lugged my bag up the steps and over to the door. Someone opened the door. The man that opened the door was tall with long purple hair, nice muscles and was gorgeous.

"Welcome gorgeous, your not Kaito's girlfriend are you?" the purple haired guy asked.

"Yuk! No!" I stuck my tongue out.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Kaito yelled pulling my bag inside. The purple haired guy took my hand.

"Come in my dear. I'm sure we will have a great time together." The purple haired guy said pulling me inside. He grabbed my bag. "A beautiful lady shouldn't carry such a heavy bag. I'll gladly take it to your room."

"Uh thank you." I said with a smile.

"Oh no you don't!" a girl with white hair tied back in a pony tail yelled from the top of a stair case. She jumped over the staircase's bars and landed on the floor. She ran over and tackled Gakupo to the floor. "Your not gonna get a hold of this one. You already have Gumi under your thumb! You're not getting another!"

"You know, I love it when you tackle me." he said with a devious smile. The white haired girl's eyes narrowed.

"You perverted son of a bitch!" she grabbed him by the shirt. "I should have killed you when I had the chance!"

"Does this happen a lot?" I asked Kaito.

"Yeah, that's Haku. She's on a hang over and now she's pissed. Gakupo is the pervert on the floor. You might want to stay away from him." Kaito answered.

"Kaito! Have you seen Len?" a short haired blond girl called from the top of the staircase. "Kiyoteru said he was with you!"

"No he's not here." Kaito called. I saw a short blond boy sneaking around behind her. He began to crawl down the staircase trying to stay out of her view.

"Oh wow! A new cutie! She's almost as cute as Piko!" she ran down the staircase, the one that the blond boy wasn't climbing down, and hugged me tight. The blond boy crawled around behind a couch and inched down the hall. "You're so cute! Oh I'm so happy to meet you! I'm Rin Kaga! Who are you?"

"I'm Miku Hatsune." I said.

"Aw! What a cute name! I already love you!" she jumped back and began looking again. "Did you see an adorable blond boy around here?"

"Gakupo! Did you dig your nails into Rin too?" Haku hissed. I had almost forgotten that they were still fighting.

"Of course not. That's Len's girl, not my territory" Gakupo shrugged. He pushed Haku off and got up.

"Where do you get off pushing a girl down?" Haku yelled.

"You'd rather stay like that. And I thought you weren't in to me Haku. Have you changed your mind?" Gakupo asked with a devious smile.

"You ass! I'd never!" she yelled. She got up now angry.

"Dude you better run." Kaito warned. Gakupo shrugged and ran up the staircase dodging the third step.

"Come back here you pervert! I'm getting a knife and I'm gonna kill you!" Haku yelled running after him.

Rin laughed. "There so funny! Haku's so pretty when she's not drunk!" Rin spun around in a circle. "So did you see Len?"

"I thought he was in the library" Kaito said.

"Really?" Rin put on a pair of shoes that was next to the door. "Then I'm going! You don't need anything do you?"

"What do I need with a book?" Kaito asked.

"Then bye! We'll talk later Miku!" she ran out the door.

"Try to hide Len. Rin's been dressing him up in cosplay lately" Kaito said.

"That's not so bad." I said.

"It's girl cosplay!" Len yelled walking into the room. "I'm not a girl!"

"Oh, then I'll gladly help." I said with a smile.

"Geez, that girl just won't quit. At least Piko's here, he has a girly face too." Len sighed.

"Well um your Len right? I'm Miku Hatsune."

"Oh yeah. I almost forgot to introduce myself but I guess you figured that out already." He laughed awkwardly.

"Gakupo! Where'd you go damn it?" Haku yelled running down the hall.

"Haku please calm down" someone said calmly. A brown haired guy with glasses walked into the hallway.

"That pervert was messing with me again!" Haku yelled.

"You can kill him when you graduate this year." The guy with glasses said.

"Fine" Haku grumbled something as she reached the staircase. She jumped the railing and landed on the floor without a scratch.

"You Miku right? I'm Haku Yowane, Dorm president and top of my class. You're pretty short for a high school student." Haku said looking me over.

"I'm not short" I complained. The guy with glasses walked down the staircase without the broken board.

"That's enough Haku, go drink some coffee. You're on hang over again aren't you?" he asked.

"So!" Haku yelled. She grumbled something nasty as she entered a room on the far side of the room. The guy with the glasses went back upstairs.

"That's Kiyoteru. He's like the dad here. He keeps us in line. We need it with the crazy people that live here." Len said. He placed his arm on my shoulder and leaned on me. "He's also my room mate."

"So is Luka here, she's my roommate." I asked.

"Yeah, I saw her unpacking in her room. Let me help you unpack. Luka wouldn't let me help her. She yelled at me." Len made a pouty face.

"Thank you. I reached for my bag that Gakupo left on the floor.

"Let me get that." Len said.

"Oh please, you can barely lift your English textbook." Kaito grabbed my other bag.

"No, that's too much. You already have your own bag to carry." I complained.

"I've got it. Your stuff is pretty light." Kaito climbed the staircase with Len and me following close behind. We soon entered a room that was already opened with a pretty girl with long pink hair and blue eyes unpacking her things into a dresser.

"Didn't I tell you get lost runt?" Luka asked looking at Len. Len hid behind me.

"I said I'd help Miku unpack." Len said nervously.

"Since Miku is a girl's name, I'm assuming that pig tail's over there is Miku. Who are you?" Luka looked at Kaito.

"Kaito, do you really have to be so mean to him? He's just trying to help." Kaito said.

"I don't want help from a man that looks like a chick." Luka said impassively. She tossed her bag into the corner of the room then sat down on her bed. "You two get out."

"Fine Mrs. Bossy" Kaito said pushing Len out of the room then shut the door.

"Bye Miku!" Len called as the door shut.

"Uh hi Luka. I'm –"

"I know your name. It's on my room assignment sheet. Unpack. Quickly. I'm going to eat lunch and your coming."

"Eh?"

Before I knew it I was sitting at a table in the mall area at the academy with Luka. She was scanning the menu like it she only had three seconds to look it all over before time went out.

"Whatever you want, my treat" Luka said.

"O-o-o-k" I picked up the menu nervously and looked it over. The waitress quickly rushed over to us.

"Sorry for the wait. Are you ready to order?" the waitress asked.

"Your highest quality Tuna please" Luka ordered then looked at me expectantly.

"Uh…" I looked down at the menu again as my cheeks turned red. Luka's putting a lot of pressure on me. Maybe I should just get Tuna…but I don't really like Tuna so much. I peeked over my menu at Luka. She was glaring at me as if I just set off a bomb. "The Negi with Tuna please!" I shrieked.

"Sure." She wrote it down on a note pad. Luka dropped her glare. I sighed with relief. "And what would you both like to drink?"

"Water" Luka sighed she picked up her fork and spun it around between her fingers like a baton twirler.

"Water's fine" I said nervously.

"I'll be back with your food in a second." The waitress walked off happily.

"So Miku, you're a first year right?" Luka asked turning her gaze to me.

"Uh yes."

"Have you met everyone in the house yet?"

"Not yet. I've met Kaito, Haku, Kiyoteru sort of, Len, Rin and Gakupo."

"You haven't even begun to meet everyone. There's Piko, Mieko, Akaito, Gumi, Miki, Ted, Teto, Dell, Nero, Neru, Sora and Lily. Well I haven't met Miki or Lily yet but really you haven't met even half the house." Luka sighed. "I guess I'll introduce you. I've been visiting this school for a while. The school has been begging me to come here since I was in Elementary school. I already have a boyfriend here too." She crossed her arms now proud of herself.

"Wow, that's so cool. You must have a beautiful voice Luka. And you're pretty too. You're so lucky. So who's your boyfriend?"

"Kiyoteru. We've been dating for almost three years. We haven't gotten to see each other much though but now since were going to the same school; we'll see each other more."

"Wow that sounds too cute. A long distance relationship and everything."

"I wouldn't say long distance. More like we couldn't see each other much. We started dating when I was in 6th grade and Kiyoteru was in 8th and then we've been dating ever since. In fact, two weeks from now is our anniversary. To bad I have no idea what to get him."

"Oh let me help! Why don't we go after we eat? Were here anyways!"

"Opening ceremonies are at noon."

"That give's us." I looked at my watch. "A half an hour to eat and then an hour to shop. We'll have to hit stores that guys go to." I tapped my chin. "Oh I guess I should ask what Kiyoteru likes. What does Kiyo–"

"Books" Luka interrupted. "A shirt might be nice too." Luka tapped her chin. "Oh I remember. Kiyoteru has been saving up for a book case. He says he has it on hold until he get's his pay check at the end of the month. I'm sure I could go to the store and buy it for him as a present."

"That would be a perfect surprise!"

"Here you are" the waitress said setting two glasses of water on the table and then our food. We both ate our food super fast then paid the bill. Then Luka led me down to the book store where Kiyoteru had the book case on hold. Luka and I walked up to the counter.

"Hi, Kiyoteru Hiyama has a book case on hold and he asked me to pick it up." Luka said.

"Sure. Let me go to the back and pick it up for you. Please wait her a moment." The worker lady walked from behind the counter and went to the back of the store.

"How surprised will Kiyoteru be when he sees that I got him his book case?" Luka asked excitedly.

"I'm not sure. I've only vaguely met him but I'm sure he'll be ecstatic." We both shrieked with excitement. I smiled. I'm so glad Luka and I are friends now. I was worried she'd hate me with the way she treated Len. She really is sweet if you break her shell.

"Here you are." the worker lady placed a big box the size of me in front of us. We both looked at it.

"How are we gonna get that to the house?" I asked now nervous.

"I don't know. Kiyoteru never said it was this big." Luka's eyes were huge staring at the box.

"If you've like, I can have one of my employ's help you carry it back. Today's a slow day with all the students at the opening ceremony and everything." The worker lady said. She walked out from behind the counter.

"Thank you" Luka sighed.

"Ted! Sora!" the worker lady yelled. Two tall guys walked out from behind shelves. One had long red hair tied into a pony tail that was curled at the end with glasses. The other had short orange hair and wore a black jacket which meant he was probably one of those bad boy's I read about in a magazine once.

"Hey Ted. Hey Sora. Mind not telling Kiyoteru about this. It's supposed to be a surprise." Luka said waving at them as they walked over.

"Maybe I will maybe I won't. What's in it for me?" Sora asked.

"I'll buy you a milk shake later." Luka sighed.

"Sold. Ted grabbed the other side" Sora said grabbing one of the sides of the box.

"Don't be rude Sora." Ted looked at me. "I don't believe we've met. I'm Ted Kane. That's Sora Suiga. He's really rude so avoid him as much as possible."

"Shut up four eyes." Sora hissed.

"Uh hi. I'm Miku Hatsune. I just moved into the Kyousei house." I said nervously.

"Oh so you'll be staying with us. Great. If Luka's warmed up to you, you'll fit in great at the house." Ted said with a smile.

"Uh thanks." I said awkwardly.

"That'll be $80 please" The worker lady said.

"Geez Kiyoteru, you sure know how to clean out my wallet." Luka sighed pulling out the money and placing it on the table. "If you wouldn't mind, if Kiyoteru asks if the book case is still on hold, would you say it is? It's a surprise."

"Not at all. May I ask what for?"

"Our anniversary."

"Please don't say your one of those sappy chicks that has a three week anniversary or something pathetic like that" Sora said rolling his eyes.

"Shut up you jerk" Luka growled. "Now pick it up. Your working remember?"

"Whatever" Sora growled. Ted and Sora picked up the box and we left. After a few minutes of walking, we were outside the mall and heading back to the house which wasn't to far from here.

"Where do you plan to put this?" Sora asked.

"In the closet until it's time to give it to him." Luka tapped her chin. "I wonder how I'm going to wrap it let alone move it into his room."

"Why don't you just put a bow on it now and put it in his room?" Ted asked.

"Because it's too soon!" Luka complained.

"I agree. She needs to wrap it and give it to him at the right time."

"Your helping me wrap it" Luka announced.

"Eh?"

"That's what you get for siding with the Devil" Sora laughed.

"Shut up you stupid gangster!" Luka hissed.

"Calm down you two." Ted looked at Luka. "You should probably have someone stall Kiyoteru just in case he sees it when we carry it upstairs."

"Right." Luka pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number. "Rin are you busy?" She waited. "Can you stall Kiyoteru? I just bought him a present and I don't want him to see it." She waited. "Thank you and keep him in your room with the door closed. Were almost there so hurry." She waited. "Thank you"

After we finally got the book case into Luka's room, Sora was pissed. He was so angry his face was red but maybe that was from carrying the box so far.

"That is the last time I do anything for you!" Sora hissed then left.

"Excuse him." Ted turned to leave. "I'll see you later after opening ceremonies." Ted left.

"We should probably head down to the Ceremony before it starts. We don't have much time left." I said.

"Alright let's go." Luka followed me out only to run smack into a girl with long blond hair tied into a side pony tail.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I didn't see you!" the girl apologized quickly bowing repeatedly.

"Piko! Were gonna miss opening ceremonies now here up!" a girl with red hair called as she dragged a white haired boy with a girly face down the hall way. I'm guessing the white haired boy is Piko.

"I apologize!" the girl with the side pony tail said. "Oh I didn't even introduce myself! I'm such a dumbie! I'm Neru Iku!"

"Oh I'm Miku Hatsune." I said.

"Hi Neru. Are you still freaking out?" Luka asked.

"Well um!" Neru blushed. "No I'm just trying to get to the ceremonies without messing up again."

"Luka help!" Piko yelled as the red haired girl pulled him down the hall.

"Hey red head, let the girly boy go" Luka called. The red haired girl turned.

"Why? So you can have Piko all to yourself?" the red haired girl hugged Piko tight around the arm. "Well I won't have it! I won't give up my Piko for anything!"

"Miki! We only met yesterday!" Piko yelled.

"Uh Miki" I called. Miki looked up. "I'm Miku Hatsune. Nice to meet you." Miki let go of Piko and stared at me as if I was an alien.

"Oh wow! You're simply adorable!" Miki ran over and hugged me. "You're almost as cute as Piko! Come on Miku! Let's go to opening ceremonies together!" She grabbed my hand and pulled my down the hall. "Piko!" Miki grabbed his hand and pulled him along. "Come on slow pokes! We'll beat you there!" Miki began to run and dragged Piko and me along with her all the way to the Ceremonies.
