The Melancholy of Hatsune Miku
The sky was dark and the stars shone brightly in the night. Little did Miku know that this what the last time she ever gaze at them in her hometown.
"Miku! Miku! Look what I found!" yelled out Kaito, holding a tiny nest of eggs. The two have known each since time began. They lived in a small village at the shore of the sea. Miku, being the daughter of the village's vet, knew exactly what to do. She examined the nest.
"Where did you find these?" She asked Kaito.
"Down by the shore, a raccoon was roaming around the area. So, I wanted to save them. But I don't exactly know what animal it is. A bird?" Kaito answered.
"No silly, we should go down to the shore now. They're going to hatch soon. Let's go!" Miku said.
"It's bedtime. Go where?" A voice startled Miku from behind. It was Mikou (Miku's Older Brother)
"To the shore," Miku answered angrily at her older brother. "And you can't stop us. Don't tell on us!"
"Fine, but come home soon or else, little sis'" Mikou said as he ruffled Miku unexplainable long, blue hair.
"Stop it!" Miku whined.
-At the Shore-
Miku and Kaito sat down far from the shore and waited patiently for the eggs to hatch. The moon was at the horizon of the ocean.
"Why are sitting far out here?" Kaito asked.
"Because they're baby sea turtles eggs. Once they hatch, they'll follow the moonlight to the ocean."
"Cool!" Kaito said, now impatient to see them hatch.
Sirens blared throughout the air. That was the village's alarm, for when an intruder arrives. Danger was heard loud and clear. Miku and Kaito perked their heads up and stood up.
This was their first REAL alarm. Not like the ones where they practice to stop, drop, and roll in case in a fire alarm at school. But this wasn't a fire alarm. It rang three times loudly continuously. That meant a raid. Miku and Kaito saw the danger from afar; they saw smoke and heard screams.
Pirate ships crashed through the docks.
'Oh no...' Miku thought. 'Mom...Mikou...' Miku took a step forward to the destruction. Kaito grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Miku, for THAT drill, we have to run away. Remember?" Kaito said.
Miku remembered perfectly from class. But being in the actual situation and being told a story is completely different. She slapped Kaito's hand away.
"Then, you go. I'm going to find Mom." Miku argued. Nothing was going to change her mind. She ran towards the docks, before Kaito said another word. The two friends separated that day and never saw each again from that point on. Kaito didn't run after Miku. He turned the other way and didn't look back.
Miku cried at the destruction of her village where she lived her whole life at. The houses were burnt down, including her own. No sign of her family. She estimated it was too late. There was no sign of anyone from her village. She wandered through the village, clutching onto her heart. She saw shadows from an alley coming her way. She hid behind some bushes and spied through the leaves.
Two pirates came out and surveyed the area, looking for more villagers. They had blood-stained swords in their hands. Miku gasped. She was too petrified to turn to tears.
"Is that all?" One of them said roughly coughing.
"Of course it is!" The other replied.
Miku observed closely of those two that she realized a shadow of one behind her. The Captain.
"IDIOTS! If you had eyes you could see this little troublemaker." The Captain replied. Miku jumped at the voice. The captain pulled Miku's arms and held her up.
"What's your name?" The Captain asked in an evil sinister tone. The Captain had a white mask and twin swords at each side, and an eyepatch, and the captain's hands resembled one's of a demon. It didn't matter though to Miku.
Miku didn't reply, her eyes trembled with anger and rage. She was too busy struggling through the Captain's grasp. Kicking, Punching, and Screaming!
"Stupid! Lemme go!" She yelled obnoxiously. "Where's Mikou and Mommy? Idiot, Lemme go!"
"This one has guts." The Captain laughed her comments harshly. "Perhaps, you could be taught to be my heir," The Masked Captain pondered around the idea. "You're not like the others, your different. Maybe... just maybe..., Then, it is decided! You shall be my heir and carry on the family curse!" declared, smirking around the thought.
"No, I don't want to be your heir!" Miku argued.
"Well it's not much of a choice, considering you're the last one." The Captain said pitifully.
Miku gave off her own version of an evil glare at him. One that said 'No way in hell'. She gave the only sinister glare a six year old girl could give.
(Author's Note: So, which Vocaloid fits the Captain's personality? Just wondering...)
