Chapter 1

I had first seen her sitting on a park bench while she was reading a university-leveled math textbook. Her luscious pink hair would dance graciously along the wind as I stood there, mesmerized by her elegant beauty. Eyes like the the ocean would drift over the book she was holding as I stared at her wistfully. Oh, how I wish she could just look at me with those eyes. Even just once. Even if it's out of impassiveness. She was like a goddess in a setting sun...Beauty...Elegance...and Graciousness.

"Miku? Hey Miku!"

Rin waved a hand in front of Miku's gawking face, which figuratively slapped the girl from her reverie.

"Huh?"

"What are you looking at? You're going all spacey and stuff." Rin said as she scooted closer to Miku. "We have a very important exams that counts for twenty percent of our grade and you're just staring off into space."

"Oh..." Miku chuckled lightly to cover her embarrassment. "Haha...sorry. It's just that I didn't get enough sleep lately."

"Well you better get enough sleep. If you go to summer school again, then you wouldn't be able to go to to this year's Summer Rock Festival. And that would really suck."

"Sorry..."

Miku sighed and decided to keep her focus. Rin was right after all. Passing the English exam was her number one priority. If she ever got a below C minus on the brutal test of this so called subject called 'English,' then a boring session of summer school is what she must attend to. She cringed at the thought. Having strange, unfamiliar words shoved right in front of her face while demanding conjugations for the sake of proper grammar was enough to give her a headache.

In addition to that, she wouldn't be able to fully enjoy her summer vacation.

Len, Rin, and Miku all have one thing in common: They all love music. The Kagamine twins afforded tickets to go at this year's Summer Rock Festival held miles away from Tokyo. If she missed this opportunity of not going, then she knows that she's going to regret it for the rest of her year; or possibly- her whole life. The next Rock Festival would be held thousands or millions of miles away from here, meaning that she would have to spend an incredible amount of money to go.

Thus, she must pass the test no matter what. And by doing that, she must focus and concentrate.

But that's extremely hard to do when a beautiful woman few distances away from her is sitting quietly on a park bench.

In the corner her eyes, Miku moved her pupils carefully and slowly to the place where this beautiful woman was reading her book.

Her eyes caught sight of a strand of pink hair being pulled back behind an ear as Miku's eyes continued to gaze passively at the woman. Ocean blue eyes hovered behind black-rimmed glasses as a peaceful expression was plastered on her soft features, giving off a wise and intelligible aura.

White buttoned-up collared shirt clung to her curvaceous form as casual skinny jeans hugged the curve of her slender leg - a business-like, yet casual attire.

Maybe it was just the sakura petals dancing around her in the orange sunset, or how her luscious pink hair would be caressed by the soft breeze that pass by, but she looked more alluring than the last time before Miku had first seen her this afternoon.

"MIKU!"

"Sorry."

Miku mentally slapped herself and buried her nose in her textbook.

Len, who was perched against the tree while doing his math review homework, laughed when he saw the shameful expression place plastered on Miku's face.

"Don't be so hard on her, Rin," he chuckled. "Besides, English is hella hard. I don't even know how those Americans could do it."

Rin pouted at his twin brother's admonishment, but her cute dignified face was soon replaced with a curiosity when her phone rang. Taking it out she answered the phone, ending the ringtone that played the tune of 'Meltdown.'

"Hello? Oh is that you, auntie? Huh? Okay, okay. Nope, we're just studying here in the park. Len and Miku are here with me. Oh why? We have all have exams to prepare for tomorrow tomorrow that's why! Go home now? But we're still studying. What? Fine okay." Rin sighed and closed her phone. "Auntie said that we have to go home."

"Now? That's fine." Miku gave her a reassuring smile.

"Cool."

"Well, see you later tomorrow at school," said Len who closed his textbooks and shoved it inside his bag as Rin began putting her papers and supplies inside her schoolbag as well.

"Well good-bye Miku!" They both said.

"Good luck with your exams!" Len yelled out, giving Miku a mock-salute as they trailed off into the paved-stone path of the park. The dipping orange sun bathed their figures as they disappeared into the horizon and into the distance.

She sighed in relief and sat back against a tree. For a second there, she thought Rin would scrutinize her stare. Speaking of which she turned her gaze to the pink-haired woman she was staring at earlier. But what she saw was much to her disappointment.

The park bench where the woman were once were was empty.

She sighed and decided to let it go. Besides, she felt like she was crossing the borderline of being a creeper.

Thinking their was nothing interesting to do, she packed her books and left.

Miku stared at the shelves filled with canned goods as her eyes darted at the piled cans in search of something delicious. The convenience store was empty of customers and the only noise that filled the silence in the abandoned aisles was the faint tune of 'Melt.'

Usually she would buy some fresh leeks in the grocery market, but much to her displeasure, the market ran out of stocks of the crunchy vegetables.

Miku loves leeks. There was no day she could survive without it; the very last thing she wanted is to suffer through a day or night without leeks. And yet, here it was- right in front of her face. No leeks for tonight.

The teen let out a disgruntled sigh when realizing that their was no food appealing to her tastes. Maybe she should just cook some curry tonight. Her mother is away on a business trip for the next two months and that means that she would either have to cook or buy food for herself, with the money her mother gave her of course.

Miku picked up a random can.

Tuna.

Maybe she could have tuna for tonight.

"Uhm, excuse me... are you going to buy that?" A voice suddenly ask her - a smooth voice full of serene, yet a bit weak.

Miku jerked away from her thoughts and turned her head to whoever it was. Right in front her eyes, she saw the same beautiful woman from the park earlier. Blue eyes met with Miku's but she caught herself just in time to dodge the piercing eye contact. The woman wasn't wearing her eyeglasses this time, which made it harder to look at her. But she couldn't believe that this woman was actually here! She thanked the coincident that she could see this amazing beauty again. Although a part of her wanted to flee away.

Miku's eyes fell on the other products and figured that she had to say something eventually.

"No. I was just taking a look around." She managed to say.

"Ah okay. Mind if I have it? That's the only tuna in stock." Her eyes remained fixed on the can, giving off a hungry stare, but Miku didn't see.

"Uh...Sure."

As she handed her the can, their fingers brushed against each others ever so slightly.

Her fingers felt soft - she had noted from the small contact.

"Thanks. I thought I was go to starve tonight." The woman joked.

Funny. Miku was dying of starvation tonight just because no leeks are in stock.

"I'm addicted to tuna."

When the woman finished her sentence, it was at that point that Miku looked up. The same soft eyes that she had saw in the park earlier finally looked at her. The teen was a bit glad that the woman was giving her full attention. But part of her wanted to look away and not be noticed at all and the other side of her wanted to keep the woman's gaze at her, and only her.

"Is there something wrong?" The woman asked, eyes suddenly filling with concern. "You're turning a bit red."

Gosh...even her voice sounded so beautiful and mature. It was like a song, flowing smoothly as serenity washed away the images of her surroundings.

"Um...hello?"

It's not that she's nervous of this woman. It's just that she's so damn beautiful that she feels uneasy around her. She doesn't even know it herself. Perhaps it's some kind of self-esteem issue but then again, she always had confidence in herself and her looks. Maybe it's because she hadn't seen such a beauty before until now.

"Uhm..."

It was at that moment that Miku had caught herself just in time and told herself that she needs to say something instead of looking like a total retard.

"N-no!" She stuttered and quickly averted the woman's gaze. "It's just that you're so pretty."

Realizing what she had blabbered out, Miku mentally punched herself.

The woman just chuckled, making Miku relieved.

"Thank you," she grinned. "You're beautiful as well."

The teen felt her cheeks go a bit hot at the comment.

"I really like that lip gloss of yours." She said, staring at her.

"Huh?" Miku ran a finger over her bottom lip. And then she remembered! Rin had applied some lip gloss on hers just for the heck of it. "Oh this?"

"Yeah, it really brings the colour of your lips." The woman said with a slight smirk. "It makes you look kissable."

A slight shade of crimson tinted Miku's cheeks.

"I'm just kidding!" She laughed. "I'm Luka by the way. Luka Megurine."

Miku was a bit surprised when the woman held out a hand to introduce herself. She couldn't believe it! This woman was actually introducing herself. To her. She just had to make sure she wasn't in some kind of dream land. And then she shook her hand. Miku smiled at how soft it was.

"I'm Miku Hatsune. Uhm...nice to meet you."

"So you're a high school student?" Luka noticed the high school uniform and moved her eyes at her figure - from down to Miku's short skirt and black stockings and up to her buttoned up shirt and the red ribbon hanging loose on her collar.

The teen regretted the fact that she pulled her skirt up to her stomach this morning while dressing, making the skirt look shorter than it actually was. It was a bit embarrassing that Luka was examining her figure. Miku could have sworn that she gained a few pounds the last time she checked, which made her more embarrassed and awkward.

"I really like your hair." The woman smiled at her while fixing her gaze at Miku's long teal pig-styled hair that ran down the back of her knees. "It has nice colour to it."

The woman moved down the aisles and Miku followed as well.

"Uhm...thanks. I like yours too." Miku said, only to prolong the conversation.

They were now in the counter to pay their goods. Luka was the only one to pay the cashier since Miku wasn't planning to buy anything.

"Thanks, but sometimes it makes me want to cut it," she sighed as she paid money to the cashier.

"Oh, I know how you feel! It's such a drag to dry long hair in the morning."

"Yeah exactly! And it gets really annoying in the summer. It gets really sweaty in my neck especially when it's really hot."

"Same with me! That's why I tie it."

"Heh, I never considered tying. It might look weird on me."

"Really? I think you'll look really pretty."

Luka chuckled lightly as they went outside. A calm breeze blew through the air and Miku felt relieved that she's actually talking to this woman the moment she realized this whole thing was true.

"So what are you?" Miku asked.

"Well, I'm a university student, studying in Vocaloids University somewhere around here."

"Oh." Miku wasn't a bit surprised. She already figured from the book Luka was reading earlier. "I heard the stuff there are hard. I might consider going there once I leave high school."

"Well, you just need to work really hard. But there are some times where the assignments just makes you wanna pull your hair out. " Luka yawned. "I've been so tired lately. I didn't get enough sleep for the past few weeks."

Luka yawned again as her posture became a bit wobbly.

"And I have frggin headache. It hurts..." she whined.

Miku's pace slow down when Luka's knees began to wobble.

"Are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine..."

But she was not fine.

"You look really pale. It looks like you'll faint any minute."

Seconds later after that, Luka collapsed on the cold cemented floor.

"Lu-Luka!"

Miku moved to the unconscious body and propped her whole body in her arms. Of course, she wasn't okay.

She checked her pulse in the nape of her warm neck and Miku felt relieved when she felt the faint heartbeats pulsing underneath her skin.

Oh well. She'll just have to take her home.

The little demons in my head kept compelling me to write this, so I did. :D I know I shouldn't start a new story while I have other ongoing ones, but I just couldn't resist. D: It will be a LukaXMiku story obviously. It's one of my obsessions lately. :D ~
