Inspired by the songs "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku" and "Tale of Sorrow". You might have to look up the latter if you have no idea what I'm talking about. And speaking of which, I'll be using a lot (a LOT) of UTAUloids. If you have no idea who they are, look them up. I saw them on their wiki page, so I can't really say for sure if they're real or not.
I DO NOT OWN VOCALOID.

I can't believe that I'm actually walking alone with Kaito!
Miku found herself walking down the street arm-in-arm with none other than Kaito Shion himself. With all of the songs that they have been recording and all of the tours that they've been rehearsing for, she was surprised that she could be alone with anyone in her family, especially, especially Kaito, the most naïve and oblivious of the family.
It sucked that he also had to be the hottest of them.
It also sucked that they're only grocery shopping.
"Do we have enough ice cream at home?" Kaito asked.
"Kaito, we have enough to feed an entire homeless shelter." She answered.
"That's good to hear." He smiled. "How about leeks?"
"L-leeks?" It was odd for him to ask such a question, so she dug as deep as her mind would allow her to find the answer. "Um…I think we used the last of them last night."
"Are you sure that you didn't just eat all of them?" He asked.
"N-n-no!"
She was very aware that she didn't eat the last leek. She might love leeks to death, but she knows how to hold herself back, unlike a certain blue-haired hot man who doesn't have any limit in his stomach when it comes to ice cream.
Oh my god, is he laughing?
She didn't know what happened next. All she remembered was the screeching of tires and the image of a car screaming toward the both of them. And the image suddenly shooting to her left. It wasn't after a few seconds that she realized that someone threw her away from the car. Looking up, she saw that a crowd had gathered, some screaming in their phones for an ambulance, and the body of a man just a few feet away from the front of the jeep.
"K-Kaito!"
She ran to him and started to rapidly shake him. He wasn't moving. Suddenly, she lifted her hands up and saw a warm, red substance on her fingers. She bit her lip as her hands clamped together, and then cried over his body.

"What the heck kinda commercial IS this?!"
Gakupo, Meiko and Luka stared at the TV as the camera darted up to the sky. Kinsora looked up from her job in the kitchen and saw a symbol appear in the middle of the screen. Kaito quietly laughed to himself.
((Don't let this happen to you and your loved ones. Get the 300x Toyota Hybrid Jeep today, and let the world be a safer place to drive.))
"That was…without a doubt…the weirdest commercial I ever saw you two air in." Gakupo rubbed the back of his head.
"Yeah, like…who the heck wrote the script for that?" Meiko looked at them.
"I did." Kaito lifted his hand.
"You?!" Gakupo and Meiko gawked. "Are you serious?!"
"What?" Kaito looked a little confused. "I got the idea out of a few movies."
"I can see that." Luka folded her legs together. "Someone who sees this for the first time would probably mistake this for a movie preview."
"For some reason…" Meiko blinked. "I feel like someone's mad at this."
The phone quickly rang, and Kinsora was quick to grab it before the twins got to it. Let's just say that they decided to have a nice greeting for the next unfortunately caller. They both groaned in unison.
"Hello?" She gasped. "Oh, hey Kenji. What's up? …Oh, you saw the commercial too? What'd you think? Uh huh…uh huh…really?! Well, nice to see that they like it as well! Great! Well, I'll see you later at the studio! Bye!"
She hung up the phone and turned around, seeing that the entire family had turned away from the TV set and were now staring at Kinsora. She backed up in a bit of a startle before slowly calming herself down.
"Sorry. That was Kenji just now. He said that everyone there likes the commercial." She smiled. "And now, Taya and Teto are begging for a 'Savior Jeep'."
"Is that what they're calling it these days?" Kaito asked with a chuckle.
"Apparently, they don't want to kill you off in case you happen to be on the road." Kinsora shrugged.
"That's…nice to hear." Kaito blinked.
"By the way, we have to get to the recording studio soon." Kinsora looked at her watch. "We have to do a full recording with Teto, remember?"
"Oh yeah, the Romeo and Cinderella mix." Gakupo snapped his fingers. "Everyone loved that, right?"
"Totally. According to our MySpace and Facebook page, people are demanding a recording." She answered. "Afterwards, we're doing that new duet with Miku and Kaito."
"Speaking of duets, when are we going to hear that new person?" Len asked. "What's her name…Gumi or something?"
"Megpoid Gumi, Len. And Kenji's doing a recording of her debut song right now. He said that we're going to start our recording once he's done." She answered. "So we better hurry up and get ready!"
------
The room was huge when the group ran in it (hoping that they weren't late). Kinsora had to walk in slowly to look like she's not panicking if she's late or not. She minded her own business as the twins started looking around.
"The recording studio never changes!" Rin said.
"Yeah!" Len jumped. "It's as spacious and surrounding as ever!"
"Wonder where Kenji is?" Kaito looked around.
Miku walked close to Kaito, making sure that she doesn't actually touch him. The truth was, she only allowed herself to get dragged into the very odd commercial for the excuse to hold onto his arm (I mean, who wouldn't get the opportunity?!), and once she did, she actually liked it. Of course, she wondered if she could actually do it in real life without stuttering like an idiot.
"Hey, someone's singing." Meiko tapped her feet. "She sounds good."
"I'm guessing that's Megpoid, then!" Kinsora said.
"You're right!"
She blinked as a figure jumped out of nowhere and grabbed her boobs, causing her to scream bloody murder. Turning around, she saw the figure of a redhead girl with nice braids and a familiar outfit.
"Teto! Don't do that!" She yelled.
"What?" She asked. "Gakupo does it all the time!"
*Insert Luka smacking Gakupo here*
"What?" He asked.
"You're unbelievable." She grumbled. "Where's Mako when you need her?"
"Who, me?"
They turned around to see a girl with her blue hair tied up and bearing a nice samurai outfit. Accompanying her was a girl with long yellow hair and a school uniform similar to Miku and Teto's. They both nodded at Kinsora.
"Kinsora." They both said.
"Mako. Neru." She responded. "I see that everyone's here."
"Where's Kenji?" Miku asked.
"Recording with Gumi." Neru responded. "What? You can't hear her?"
"We can hear her." Gakupo grinned. "And she sounds like a babe."
"That's Gakupo…" Meiko shrugged. "And I'm guessing that Taya's with him?"
"Someone has to do the other work." Neru said. "They should be done around this time, so we can go in now."
------
Walking into the large studio, they saw Kenji and Taya handling with the sound boxes and a young girl standing in the middle of the sound booth, the screens showing the images of the sound levels of her singing. The young girl was wearing a nice orange outfit and had shiny green hair.
"She's cute." Gakupo grinned.
"She looks like a human carrot." Luka grumbled.
"Don't worry, Luka." He tapped her shoulder. "You're still my girl."
Kaito looked over and saw Luka smile from that statement. He had to admit though, the girl did look cute. She looked up from her finished product and locked eyes with him. Almost instantly, her face went blood red.
"K-K-K-K…" She gawked.
"Yep. It's Kaito." Kinsora grinned.
"Oh…my…god." She jumped to him. "I'm such a huge fan of you!"
"Well, it's nice to meet a fan, especially one that I might work with later." Kaito nodded.
"I-I-I'll work my best when that time comes!" She said.
Miku felt a little jealous by the attention that he was giving her, but agreed to herself that it was only because he was a newbie in the music world. Of course, she had to tell herself that for a while.
"So, now that everyone's here…" Kenji looked up. "I suppose we can start on the Romeo and Cinderella?"
"I want to say so." Taya lifted up her notebook. "Is Teto here?"
"Yeah, I'm here!" Teto lifted up her hands.
Kinsora nodded, knowing that this day was well going to be underway. Suddenly, she saw Kaito looking at the computer screen on the table, a strange look on his face, and then looked up to the rest of them.
"Well…if you guys don't mind me asking…" He started. "Is it OK if I record my single first?"
"Single?" Taya looked at her notebook. "Which one?"
"Um…" He thought about it for a minute. "How about Dear You?"
"That…might work." Taya stared at the notebook.
Gumi was all jumpy about it, which made Miku a little jealous. Was Kaito just showing off his talent to her?! Is this really what he was planning?! She grumbled a bit and stomped up the stairs to the recording studio, much to their amazement.
"We're recording the duet first!" She spat.
"Which one?" Taya asked, somewhat confused.
"Canterella!" She blurted. She wasn't even sure if the song was on the list.
"Canterella…Canterella…yes, I see it." She nodded. "So we're doing that then?"
"Of course!" She answered. "C'mon Kaito! We don't have time to waste!"
He looked startled at the sudden and random remark. He turned around for a few seconds before shaking his head and walking up the stairs to join her. What caught most of their interests was that he wasn't looking at Gumi, but at the computer…
"We're starting!" Meiko said.
"Ready to do the dance?" Rin looked at her sibling.
"Hell yeah, I'm ready!" He answered.
"Dance?" Mako asked.
"Yeah." Luka answered. "The both of them made a little dance for this song when it first came out."
"Can't wait to see that."
Kinsora looked at the computer that Kaito seemed so fixed on for a few seconds before Kenji blocked her view of it. He started pressing a few buttons as the screens around the two Vocaloids whirred to life. Suddenly, the screens went black, and electricity started to shoot out of them.
"What's going on?!" Neru asked.
"I…I don't know!" Kenji started to look around.
"It's a virus." Taya answered calmly. "A big one, at that."
Kinsora looked up as Kaito threw Miku down on the ground and the electricity shot into his body. Miku screamed for him before the electricity shot into her body as well. Both of them collapsed onto the ground as the electricity continued.
"Taya, I need you to go get the maintenance crew!" Kenji ordered.
"Understood, sir!" She ran as quickly as she could.
"Kaito! Miku!" Meiko screamed, running toward them.
"No, don't!" Gakupo threw her back. "The virus is still active! It'll affect all of us if we get close to it!"
"Well, it won't affect us!" Kinsora looked at Kenji. "C'mon! Rin, Len, open a recovery room now!"
The two twins ran as fast as they could as the two human owners ran past the electricity storm. Grabbing the two unconscious Vocaloids on the ground, they ran out of the storm and out of the room, the rest of their families quickly following suit. Just as they were running, a terrible thought rained on all of them.
Kaito knew of this…

And thus ends the first chapter. I'm planning this to be four chapters, so look forward to them. I'm still updating The Fated Meeting, so don't think I'm ignoring that one. And…yeah, I did my job if the opening drove you crazy.
