ChibiDialga: Hey, guys.. So I made yet ANOTHER fanfic... Which is most likely to be a short one.
Miku: Hehehe. Hello!
ChibiDialga: I couldn't resist.. She's just to cute!
Meiko: Of course.
Luka: I'm here too...
ChibiDialga: Woah! 3 hosts! Who would've thought!
Meiko: Fairytale?
ChibiDialga:... I count Len and Rin as one.
Chapter 1: Happy Anniversary
Asami Shimoda P.O.V
I sighed as my alarm clock rang and my head felt like someone was hammering it from the inside. My clouded eyes trailed over to my desk to see a picture of six smiling faces. I immediately turned my head away as I could feel my eyes start to water. Today was the day wasn't it, Meiko, Naoto (Look at the end)?
My feet lifted off the bed as I walked over to my desk and my hands trailed over the frame of the a slightly worn out picture. Hot tears rimmed my eyes as I picked up the picture and held it to my heart and the little droplets of water fell from my eyes.
Why? Why did you guys have to go? I let out a soft sigh and placed the frame back on my desk.
... Don't go... Don't leave me! This is all my fault!
I stopped crying as those words ringed through my head. Letting out an uneven laugh, I wiped my tears with the back of my hand. It was my fault that you're not here...
My phone buzzed as I got up to see a text from my friend Len Shimoda.
To: Asami
From: Len
Todays the day.. That Meiko and Naoto.. Well. Anyway you don't need to skip school today... We're all sad. Remember that.
Stupid Len. Did he not think I would go to school? Did he think I was the only one sad? Who the hell did he take me for?
I sniffed as I turned on the shower water and waited a while till it got hot. Then, I went in and closed my eyes as the warm water fell upon my cold skin. In the darkness of my closed eyes I could almost see a faint outlined figure of two people who were holding each other. I smiled a little but quickly realized what was about to happen as The two figures ran desperately infront of..something. Multiple shots were heard and they stood there before they turned around, whispered something, and crumpled to the ground, still holding hands.
I screamed as I opened my eyes and felt the water start to get cold. Quickly cleaning myself up and getting ready, I looked at myself in the mirror.
I had small brown eyes and straight dark brown hair that went to my chest. My skin was pale but had a hint of tan on it. Surely I wasnt the prettiest of girls, but I wasn't ugly at all either, if I say so myself!
Just then, a thought came to me. A saying that my friends use to say in the past.
Asami- Flat
Saki- Road Bumps
Yū- Hills
Meiko- Mountains.
I giggled to myself as I ran down to the kitchen where a orange basket layed on the table. I wrinkled my nose as I eyed the oranges. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate oranges, they just weren't the best. I took an orange off the table, peeled it, and popped a slice in my mouth as I glanced at the kitchen clock.
7:50
The orange literally fell out of my mouth as I stared at the clock in disbelief. Shit! I'll be late for school if I don't get out of here!
8:00
"Shimoda, Asami."
I opened the door to the classroom as everyone turned their heads towards me. "P-present..." I mumbled as heat crept up my face.
The teacher nodded to me as I measly walked over to my seat to see my friends, Len and Saki snickering at me. I pouted as they tried to hold in their laughter. I couldn't help but crack a smile.
I sat down in my seat which was thankfully next to the window in the back. I looked out to the sky.
The sky has always been so pretty at sunset when it's dyed red, dontcha think Asami?
No way! It's fine being pretty and blue.
But it's almost as beautiful as you Asami! Again, almost.
I felt my eyes start to burn as the teacher called my name. He looked at me with expectation as I my mouth hung agape. Everyone's eyes (except for Saki and Len who were looking elsewhere) were fixed on me, filled with the same expectation. I looked at the seat in front of me where I saw hazel eyes staring at me filled with pride and next to them, chocolate colored eyes looked at me with mischief.
I couldn't stop looking at them. It was too good to be true... I slowly reached my hand forward only to see the seats were empty.
You're not here anymore... Where did you go? Dont leave us...
I could feel the tears spill out of my eyes as I blinked. "You're... Really... Not... Why?" More tears fell like a waterfall. Why couldn't I except that they were gone? Why? Why did they have to go? Why does life have to be so hard.
"I... Don't... Want.. This..." I cried as Saki and Len got up from their seats as they shook me. "Asami! Get it together! They're not here anymore!" Saki yelled as her own tears dropped. "Don't.. Make it harder... Today makes it... Worse..."
Her lip quivered as she placed her head on mine and she cried. The whole class kept quiet as they all sadly looked down, some starting to cry themselves. The teacher cleared his throat to grab everyones attention. "Umm... I know today is the anniversary of the death of two of the classmates above us... But that was a year ago. Asami, Saki, Len if you want you can go home."
I laughed to myself. Of course. They were both in the class ahead of us. They were with Yū. The seats in front of me were always empty...
I shook my head.
Stay... Strong.. Asami... Saki.. Len... Yū...
I smiled as I looked at the teacher. "We're fine... We can't miss this lesson, right?"
Dont... Cry... Please.. You'll make... Us... Feel... Bad... For...
I can't cry. They wouldn't want me too! I started working on the math lesson trying to keep my thoughts focused on school.
Dying...
-Time Skip- Lunch
Yū was waiting for us outside the class as we walked over to the cafeteria. "I heard Asami and Saki cried during class today. "
My face immediately heated up. "W-well you know why!"
Yū put on a sad smile as we sat down. Saki played around with the beef with spring onions she had for lunch as she set down her chopsticks. "Are we going to visit them?"
I almost choked on the orange chicken I had (Why do I have so many orange flavored food today?) as I stared at the serious looking Saki. Len lifted an eyebrow At her. "Of course we are... They'll get lonely..." He said as a tinge of pink spread on his cheeks.
Saki smiled at her beef as she picked up her chopsticks and began eating again. "I can't wait! They'll be so happy that we came to visit!"
Yū chuckled as she eyed Saki. "You do realize we see them once a week, right?"
"I do... But this week we'll see them twice! They'll be jumping with joy."
"You know they can't jump anymore Saki." Len whispered as everyone stared at him. I gave him a 'dude! why are you being a jerk look?' As Saki sighed.
"You don't know that..." Saki mumbled. Len smirked. "That's right. We don't know that! They could still be alive!"
We all stared at him except for Saki who smiled. "So, you've thought that too, huh?" Yū turned to her with a shocked look creeping onto her face. "S-Saki! What are you talking about? Meiko and Naoto are dead... We.. Saw them... Get... Shot..."
Saki shook her head. "I have made my decision to find out everything about Meiko and Naotos deaths." Her face darkened. "Even if that kills me."
I coughed and stared at her dumbfounded. "Saki! What are you thinking?" Yū yelled as Saki kept a straight face as she turned her face to her. "I'm not changing my mind, Yū. Meiko and Naoto were one of my best friends. No... They were like family to me. Y-you all are like family to me... I can't stand to see you sad... So, so if there's hope I'll take it!"
"But what hope do you have?"
"You don't have any?"
"O-of course I do... But it's false. Why can't you let it go, Saki! They're gone!"
"They'll always be alive on our memories!"
"SAKI!"
"I-It all happened so fast! We didn't even see who the shooters were! And then the cops came and dragged everyone out and they just told us they were dead without any proof!"
"How can they be alive if you say you'll be okay if you die! Open your eyes Saki!" Yū shouted as Saki stared at her with a look of hurt on her face. "Then make sure you don't die." She whispered as she got up. "We're gonna visit their grave, yeah? Meet you at the end of school Yū."
Saki walked off as Yū stared at her tuna in disbelief. I covered my ears.
Where are you guys? Come back so we can all go back to being happy! Please! Save Saki!
I held my ears and squeezed my eyes shut as right as I could.
Don't.. Cry... We'll always be with you...
I looked down at my food and smiled to myself.
Then prove it. Come back...
-Time Skip- End of School
I stood up and grabbed my stuff as Saki skipped over to me with Len sighing behind her. I giggled at her as a pout appeared on her features. "What're you laughing at?"
"You're so giddy!"
"Who wouldn't? I can see Meiko and Naoto again!" I gave her a sad smile.
I have made my decision to find out everything about Meiko and Naotos deaths!
My smile instantly vanished as I stared at Sakis cheerful face.
Even if that kills me.
Len looked at me with a worried expression as Saki went out to the door only to be stopped by a girl. I think Megumi Nakajima?
I'm not changing my mind, Yū. Meiko and Naoto were one of my best friends. No... They were like family to me. Y-you all are like family to me... I can't stand to see you sad... So, so if there's hope I'll take it!
I could feel my eyes widen as panic arose in me. I had a bad feeling about today.
Even if that kills me.
If kills me.
Even that kills me.
That kills me.
Kills.
Kill me.
Len grabbed me by the shoulders as he shook me. "Asami! Keep it together!"
Kill me.
Dont... Cry... Please.. You'll make... Us... Feel... Bad... For...
"Asami! Please! Snap out of it!"
Don't.. Cry... We'll always be with you...
"Asami! Asami! Don't think about it!"
... Don't go... Don't leave me! This is all my fault!
Saki came over with Megumi who smiled shyly. I snapped out of it and turned over to them as Len sighed in relief. Saki smiled as she put an arm over Megumi. "She says that she can't make it to the grave today, but she always admired Meiko and Naoto, so she gave us these to give to them!"
Saki presented us with a bouquet of Daisies, Roses, and Blue Dazes. My eyes were glued to the the flowers, the instant I saw them.
Daisies remind me of you, Asami. And Roses for Meiko, the flowers of Hydangea for Saki, Sunflower for Len, and Lotus for Yū. Oh I shouldn't forget Blue Dazes for myself!
My hands reached to the flowers as I held it in my hand and smelled it. I looked up at Megumi who was nervously watching my reaction. "They'll love it. I'm sure."
Megumi's face instantly brightened up and she ran away to her friends...
That girl... I stared at her long and hard... Something bad or good will happen to her. Depending on how she feels about it. I just have that feeling.
Saki waved her hand in front of my face as she smiled. "Hey! Earth to Asami! Yū will explode If we don't hurry up!"
"Huh? Oh y-yeah. Let's hurry." I nodded as Saki, Len, and I walked out the school to see Yū talking to this guy named Gackt and her friend, Yuri Masuda.
As she saw us she waved bye to them And walked over to us. Her eyes caught attention to the flowers Megumi had given us before. "Oh this? A girl named Megumi have them to us so we can give them to Meiko and Naoto."
Yū nodded in acknowledgement. "Okay let's go then. We can't keep them waiting forever."
I looked over to the sky as I took in a breath of fresh air.
The sky has always been so pretty at sunset when it's dyed red, dontcha think Asami?
I frowned and caught up to the group. The sky wasn't dyed red yet, silly!
-Time Skip- At the grave
I hastily put the flowers on the graves that read, 'Haigō Meiko and Fūga Naoto.' I clasped my hands together and closed my eyes shut.
I hope I get to see you one day again. Wherever you guys are.
I could feel the tears spill out of my eyes.
No. I know we'll see each other again. Fate can't be that cruel, right?
No reply.
Answer me! Please! I need your help!
Still no reply.
ANSWER ME, DAMMIT!
I cried hot tears as I fell to my knees. My heart beat faster and faster. This always happened. I expected too much... I had too much hope. I look to my side to see Yū silently crying as she looked up at the sky. Len was biting his lip and clenching his fist together. Saki, however was staring blankly at the grave.
"S-Saki?" She stared at the grave. "I'll find you guys. We'll meet again! And not like this! Just wait for me!"
We all stared at Saki in sadness as tears spilled out of her eyes, even though she was trying to look strong. "I know you said not to cry! But I can't help it, you know!"
She looked down and bit her lip. "I... Loved... You guys..."
Just then a few girls stopped and glanced at the grave. They lifted an eyebrow. "Meiko, huh? I guess it's a popular name."
Yū glared at them. "What is that suppose to mean?" She said, anger seethed in her voice. The girls backed up a bit. "S-sorry. It's just that new thing, Vocaloid, released it's first Japanese vocal. And coincidently, it's called MEIKO."
Saki stood up and stared at them. "What's a Vocaloid?"
"A vocaloid is like this voice synthesizer thing. You can make music out of a voice, Provided by, well, it's unknown right now, but probably humans and you can like change the pitches in music, using this thing called a Voicebank. It's really hard to explain, just go buy a vocaloid yourself And figure it out."
The girls walked away as Saki turned to us with fire in her eyes. "We have to go and buy that Vocaloid thingy!"
"Saki-"
"Please! It could help us." Saki pleaded as we all sighed and before we knew it, we were in stores looking at a box.
I couldn't help but lift a hand to my mouth at the character on the box. "That looks almost exactly like..."
Saki snatched the box, made us split the bill, and we were at her house.
Len examined the box as Yū began to install the program. "Yup. This looks like an anime version of Meiko except her hairs short instead of like, up to her hips."
We nodded as Saki couldn't stop bouncing in her seat. Yū clapped her hands and sighed. "It's done."
Saki pushed Yū out of the seat and started messing with the program as we all sweat dropped.
After a few minutes Saki sighed. "Alright I put in some words that we can have "Meiko" say."
Dear. Saki.. My... Family... I love... You... All.. Very much... You've.. Finally... Found me...
Yū stared at the computer in disbelief. "Its sounds like a rougher version of..."
Saki nodded As she sat back in her seat. "See! I told you they were still alive! If Meikos alive, I'm pretty sure Naotos alive too!"
"Then where are they?"
"They probably couldn't tell anybody about their cool new Popstar life and..." Saki trailed off. I looked at her in the eye. "Saki. We all know they would never keep secrets."
"I-I know but-"
"We're pulling at straws here, Saki. This isn't much help."
"O-of course it is! Guys, we have solid proof now!"
"No, not really."
"How can you say that?"
"He's right. A lot of people have Meiko as their name. A lot of Japanese women have brown hair and that character has more of a lighter brown eyes. Plus, Meiko would never wear anything, that skimpy. As for the voice..."
"See!"
"That could be edited... Or a coincidence..." Saki looked at us with tears in her eyes. "Why? Why do you guys keep trying to ruin my hope!"
I have made my decision to find out everything about Meiko and Naotos deaths!
"Do you guys not care about them anymore!"
Even if it kills me.
"How could you say that Saki! You know we love them!"
I'm not changing my mind, Yū. Meiko and Naoto were one of my best friends. No... They were like family to me. Y-you all are like family to me...
"Apparently not enough!"
I can't stand to see you sad... So, so if there's hope I'll take it!
"Saki, Yū. Stop! This isn't helping!"
The sky has always been so pretty at sunset when it's dyed red, dontcha think Asami?
"Well it seems like nothing's helping!"
No way! It's fine being pretty and blue.
" Saki! We know you want to see them again! We all do! Believe us when we say that! But they're dead, Saki! They got shot right I front of us!"
But it's almost as beautiful as you Asami! Again, almost.
"I- I cant take this anymore!"
Stay... Strong.. Asami... Saki.. Len... Yū...
Saki ran out of the room with tears rimming her eyes as Yū and Len followed her.
I'm trying...
I ran after them with my head pounding.
Saki! I have to save her! Something bads going to happen!
I saw Yū grab Sakis wrist as she tried to wiggle free only to have Len grab her too. Yū breathed in as Saki kept squirming. "Saki listen to me."
"I don't want to! Let me go, you traitor!"
"Saki Fujita! Listen to me right now, please!"
"..."
"Thank you." Yū breathed "Look, Saki! I want to believe this is all true! I really do! But I can't go living on like this anymore! I can't dwell in the past without breaking down! But, I'll support you anyway... Cuz... I still.. Have... Hope... Too... See... Them..." Yū sniffed as her eyes began to water.
Saki relaxed in Lens arms as she looked at the ground and shook as she wailed. "Why? Why is this breaking us apart! I wanted to be with you guys forever! Is that too hard to ask?"
Yū hugged Saki as I stood there watching, the pounding of my head and heart, not subsiding.
Saki let out a small smile as she wiped her face on her sleeve. "Well... I'm... Hungry... Let's go out and eat!"
Yū and Len easily agreed as they began walking forward with me staring at their backs. Saki began walking a little faster than them which made my alarms go off.
Before I knew it, they were WAY ahead of me and I had to start running through the crowd of people to get through.
Saki was skipping happily getting more and more ahead of Yū and Len who chatted and laughed together! I ran faster and faster as I tried to move my way through the walking citizens.
Suddenly, the area where Saki was standing, was clear and she was just about to cross The road when she looked to the side and began walking on the lanes.
No! I'm too late! Saki! Save her! Don't you dare leave me too!
Saki Fujita P.O.V
There was something wrong with me. I could feel my feet picking up pace as I got further away from Yū, Len, and Asami. Wait, where'd Asami go?
She was probably with Yū and Len anyway. I looked at a nearby street buliding that showcased the time on it. 11:58
Woah! It was almost midnight! I walked a little further, looking back to see Yū, Len, and Asami there, walking, though Asami looked a little frantic and was trying to push people. Hmm, weird.
11:59
I wanted to wait, but my feet wouldn't let me as they moved like it had a mind of its own. I started to panic. I couldn't control myself anymore!
S-someone! Help me! I can't control myself!
I couldn't even talk anymore!
Slowly, I found myself amidst a crossroad. I look to my side to see a car coming and the panic in me rose. Sure, it wasn't that close, but it seemed to be coming at an alarming speed! I tried willing myself to turn back but instead I went forward.
I found myself crying in realization that I was surely about to die. And Yū, Len, and Asami were about to witness the death of yet another friend.
Don't look! Turn back! Close your eyes!
The car zoomed even faster than before as people began screaming as it went straight for me. I closed my eyes as the tears fell, knowing I would meet my end any second.
I love you.
12:00
The bells rung as they struck midnight and I felt the impact of the car hitting me.
Asami Shimoda P.O.V
I could see Saki walking towards the crossroads. In the back of my kind I saw two people holding hands and walking their way to us.
Saki took her steps onto the road, as the two people bEgan running infront of us as guns were pointed at us.
Tears slipped out of Sakis eyes as determination slipped out of theirs.
Saki impacted with the car as they were shot to their death.
Everywhere I looked, there was blood. I pushed everyone out of the way and ran onto the road to where Saki lay blood soaking her. "Saki! Saki!"
Answer me!
She looked at me with lifeless eyes as her hand slowly made it's way to my cheek. "As..a..mi... Don't.. Let... Them.. Look.. At... Me..."
Yū and Len ran over as they frantically paced around Saki. "SOMEONE! Please! Call the ambulance! My friend needs help!"
But of course, everyone stayed still and stared at us. Saki let out a laugh as tears continued flowing out of her eyes. "It... Hurts... So.. Much..."
She nimbly let a tear slide onto her finger. "Your... sadness... Is... Killing.. Me... Even... More..."
I let out a forced laugh as she smiled and nodded her head. "Much... Better..."
She coughed blood as we all begged her to keep going. "Smile... Yū...Len... Asami... I.. Get.. To... See... Them... Again..."
Yū let out a laugh. "I thought you said they weren't dead. "
"They're... Not...and... Neither.. Will... You... Or... I..."
She coughed some more. "Just... Remember... Together... Forever..." She let out a teary smile. Slowly she held out her pinky. "Please..."
With my hand shaking, I wrapped my own pinky around hers.
"I... Love.. You..."
And with that, she went limp and stayed still. I slightly shook her as tears spilled down. "Saki! Saki! Saki open your eyes! Come on, please! You're a tough one aren't you?"
I sniffed as I saw the smile of her lifeless body And tried to force one on myself. "Even in your final moments you're smiling, huh?"
Don't.. Cry... We'll always be with you...
ChibiDialga: *sniff* Saki.. Why'd you have to go and die like that!
Miku:... I just wanted to see Meiko again..
Luka: You idiot! You planned to kill yourself in the process!
Meiko: We didn't actually die... Did we?
ChibiDialga: I don't know! Stay tuned guys! R and R while you're at it!
Here's the voice providers I used in the story. (Note: the characters look like the voice providers right now, not their respective Vocaloid.)
Haigō Meiko- MEIKO
Fūga Naoto- KAITO
Fujita Saki - Hatsune Miku
Shimoda Asami- Kagamine Rin/Len. Though for this story, I made Len his own separate being.
Asakawa Yū- Megurine Luka
Nakajima Megumi- Gumi Megpoid
Gackt- Gakupo
Masuda Yuri- Lily
I don't own any vocaloids.
