AN: Hey guys! This is my first FanFic and the first one to come out as a KaitoxSF-A2 miki pairing. I don't plan on making this long, maybe about four chapters if time permits. Sorry that it sucks, but please don't be shy to R&R, I like to hear what others have to say so that I can try and get better at this. I kinda wanted to flesh this one out since I couldn't find one, that and this is probably either the least liked or never been thought of pairing. Well, I hope it's not too bad and enjoy! ^^
Disclaimer: I do not own the Vocaloids, just this story and the models.
Chapter One: Cherries, Leeks, and Crushes Oh my!
"The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart."
"Cherries~…cherries~…Oh where oh where have my sweet cherries gone, oh where oh where could they be~?" she cheerfully sang.
Miki had woken up bright and early in her usual cheery mood. She promptly made her way into the kitchen, eager to start the day. For some reason, she felt as if though today was going to be a great day and what better way to start it off than to eat what you love most for breakfast?
As she leaned in closer inside of the fridge, her ahoge twitched to the right and lead her to her favorite treat. With a happy squeal, she eagerly took out the jar and began to unscrew the lid. Before she could even place one close to her lips, she heard a scoff and turned around to see the unpleasant face of a certain young teal-haired diva.
"Are you done yet?" the young tealette curtly demanded.
Miki attempted a smile and tilted her head cutely at her. "Good morning Miku~! Fancy seeing you up bright and early today, how're y-?"
Miku stopped her short and shoved her aside as she reached inside of the fridge to pull out an array of vegetables. "Get out of my way; I'm busy making breakfast for everyone today."
She looked at Miku for a second before smiling at her again. "Oh ok! Have fun and please be careful not to burn yourself again like last time." she helpfully advised.
That one harmless statement made Miku snap and she strucked Miki's forehead with a leek, the force knocked her down to the floor. With a yelp, she protectively placed her hands to her head and began to rub the swollen lump that had already formed on her pale skin. She whimpered a little and tried to hold back her tears but a few of them managed to leak out. Miku smirked and was ready to strike again and taunt her until she suddenly closed her mouth when they heard a voice.
"Hm? What's going on in here? Who's crying?"
Miki didn't need to turn around to know who it is. Her face began to heat up and she scrambled up to try and wipe the tears off of her face. She felt a hand placed on the top her head and felt him lean in. "Are you alright Miki-chan?"
Her face burned and she yelped at the sudden contact. "U-uh, g-good morning K-Kaito-sama…" She nervously mumbled. She felt like she was about to die. She didn't really understand why she felt like that whenever she was with him. It could be that fact that the last time Miku harassed her, he defended her and got Miku to leave her alone for a good while. She felt like she owed a lot to him. She could practically hear the smile that was on his face and bid her a good morning as well.
"Ah, I must have been hearing things; I could have sworn I heard someone crying in here…"
Miku ran up to him and glomped his arm. "No, you were mistaken Kaito~ It's just us two, having a friendly conversation, isn't that right Miki?" she said her name through gritted teeth. Miki kept a hand over her forehead and nodded. "Uh, y-yeah, just a friendly conversation is all…"
She tilted her head down a little so that she couldn't see Miku and Kaito being together. She had a feeling that Miku knew full well how Miki felt about him; yet she didn't say anything to him. I wonder why? If she's always been acting like that around him, which she never did before he helped me, could she had realized how she secretly felt about him? The thought of it left the impression that her heart had sunk into the dark depths of her stomach.
However, she heard Miku protest and felt her bangs being pushed aside. She realized far too late that she had taken her hand off of her forehead and saw his dark azure eyes examining the bruise. The burning feeling was back on her cheeks and she felt her heart skip a beat. "Uh, w-what are you doing, Kaito-sama?" she questioned. He looked at her sternly, "How'd you get that nasty bruise on your face? You didn't have that on your forehead yester-!" He turned to face Miku and scowled at her. "You did this to her, didn't you?"
Miku shrugged. "I don't know what you're talking about. She hit her head looking for those cherries in the fridge. You know how clumsy she is." She said with a dignified smirk on her face.
Miki pouted and took his hand off of her head. "I'll be in my room if any of you need me..." She glumly stated.
Before he could say anything else, she touched the blue star on her chest and warped back into her room. With a small sigh, she began to pull them out of the jar and bit them off of the stems. She hated the fact that Miku could effortlessly pull those kinds of excuses off.
"Miku never does anything wrong, she's too perfect!" she practically spat out.
As much as she tried, she felt like she couldn't keep her happy façade on much longer. Every time she tried to do something nice or tell her compliment, Miku manages to either shrug it off or twist it around to make a nasty comment directed at her. In public, Miku's known for her mild temperament, sweet voice, and overall charms. But whenever you ask about SF-A2 miki, apparently nobody has ever heard of her before. She hated that. She hated that Miku took the entire spotlight. She hated that a few people seem to know that there are other Vocaloids.
"But, it is because of her that the Vocaloids became popular…but it wouldn't hurt for her to share it every once in a while…" she told no one in general. Again she sighed and sat down on her bed when she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in…" she didn't care who it was, she wasn't in the mood to deal with the small things. That is, until she saw who came through.
"Miki? Are you ok?"
She jolted up in her bed. Standing in her room, at this specific moment, was Kaito.
Alright, and that's the end of chapter one! I hope it wasn't that bad, I'll post in the second chapter sometime this week. Thanks for reading!
