I was waiting for something to load onto my computer, so I decided to work on this as well as all of my other fanfics. So don't be surprised if the first time you read this, there're about four other chapters in it as well.
I DO NOT OWN VOCALOID.
And if you also read Yu-Gi-Oh s3, Shuto and Kinsora are in no way connected to Sora. Just so you know.
------
It was about a week after Shuto Hitsukari had died.
He was her only family, really. Kinsora's mother had died of illness a few months after she was born, so Shuto was raising her alone. The people at his workplace were kind to her as well, though, so she wasn't totally alone. Even his boss was nice enough to let her father out early when something important concerning her came around. But he was her father, and that was all she actually needed.
The heart attack…it was so sudden. It was the day after she graduated from college, actually. She never cried so hard, especially after the wake. No one could accept that such a nice man could be gone from them so easily. He was so young…dying at the age of fifty-three.
All Kinsora began to wonder at that time…was who was going to be her family now.
------
It was time to read his will.
It was a strange ordeal, Kinsora thought. It was a small room filled with friends (since there was no family), and in front of them was Shuto's personal lawyer, a long piece of paper in front of him. Kinsora slowly watched as, one-by-one, Shuto's friends were being given objects that were personal to him. One of them, a transferee from America, cried when Shuto gave him his wedding ring. Kinsora wasn't mad. A few months ago, Shuto promised him that if he couldn't get a ring personally, Shuto would give him his own.
"But…you can't do that!" He said. "It's YOUR wedding ring!"
"A ring is merely a symbol." Shuto told him. "I don't need a symbol to tell me that I loved my wife. This is…how should I say it, a transfer. May your marriage be as bountiful and happy as mine was."
Kinsora couldn't help but shake her head at her father's way of thinking. The lawyer went on and on, until finally, it was her turn.
"And to my daughter, Kinsora." He began. "I leave you my summer condo, next to my workplace, all of my money, and my legacy. I have paid the rent six months in advance, so you can adapt into the lifestyle. Take care of them."
She blinked in confusion as the lawyer walked up to her and handed her a small key.
"He left this behind too." He added. "I think this was the key to the condo, if I'm not mistaken."
"Thanks." She answered.

It wasn't long until she found the place.
The door opened slowly, as if it was a curtain opening up for the first time. Kinsora walked in and saw the living room and kitchen. There were two hallways branching off to the left, one leading to a closet and a bathroom, and another leading to (what she believed to be) the bedroom, and possibly another bathroom. Despite the fact that her father would live here alone sometimes, the kitchen was huge, big enough to feed an entire family.
"Geez, leave it to dad to pay big." She closed the door behind her and threw the key on the counter. "I always wondered where all the extra money went off to."
She turned to the right, and found a beautiful view of the city. The glass was crystal clear. Turning around, she saw a small keypad nearby. She typed into it, and the glass began to blacken a little.
"UV protected windows. Smart." She tapped it. "Safety glass too. By how big his paycheck is, it might even be bullet-proof, too."
She sighed, and took a nice stretch on the couch in front of her. It was oddly soft, and not even dusty, even though it's five months past summer. She concluded that it was because Shuto had someone take care of the place.
But something's bothering me. She thought. What…did he mean by his "legacy"? What could he leave behind that was his "legacy"? Could it be his job?
She concluded that she wouldn't have time to figure that out today, so she decided to take a glance in the rest of the house. After a nice rest, she stood up, stretched, and walked into the untraveled hallway.

Yes, this is going to be a series with short chapters. I'll be able to update faster this way. So stay tuned!
